In declaring for the free coinage of
silver independently of all other coun-
tries the Chicago convention in effect
declared for a different and lower
money standard than that used by the
great commercial nations with which
we trade. Trade and commerce follow
the lines Of least monetary resistance,
and out of total merchandise imports
and exports last year of 81, $50, sos, 100
only S163,893,827 was from single silver
standard countries-less than II per

Even in our South American trade,
about which so much has been said,
out of total of $145, 693,O55 only per
cent, SIS, 1891, 1853, was with silver stand
ard countries, while 70 per cent, $685.
217,864, was with single gold standard
countries, and $31, ass, 1888 was with bi-
metallic countries.
Practically speaking, all bimetallic
countries are on gold basis, their legal
tender silver being exchangeable for
gold, but the bimetallic trade is small.
Let Europe serve as the example. While
much Less than half Of it's population
has the single gold standard, the fol-
lowing table shows our trade:

TO be off BTigantine, near Whele par y
boarded her. Since then her passenger
list has been increased 50 that at pres
ent. it is declared, there are not less
than 200 recruits for the insurgents on
board. most of whom are officers OF
high rank.
The Laurada's cargo consists, it is
alleged. mainly of dynamite and other
explosives, in the handling Of which
General Rolof and his corps OF assist
ants are said TO be experts. For this
reason he is probably feared more than
any other officer in the insurgent army.
There is also in the vessels hold, it is
reported, 10 900 Remington rifles and
four Colt rapid-fire guns, capable of
firing 400 shots per minute.
The most important part of the cargo,
however, is said to be a small torpedo
boat with an automatic gun, built in
New York under the direction of the
Cuban Junta, shipped in sections and
supposed to have been taken on board
off Ocean City. This small craft is in
tended to fire dynamite shells. The
vessel was designed in France, and the
hull and machinery were built at Bris-
tel, r. 1.
The expedition is intended for the re-
lief of General Antonio Maceo, the in
SurSent cnle1Jdln, now penneu up IN
the province of Pinar del Rio by the
Spaniards, and who it is believed needs
immediate aid The actual landing
place is not known to anyone except
General Roloff-not even TO Captain
Murphy, who commands the Larada.
The feet of Spanish war ships in the
Cuban waters have been ordered to
patrol the coast, to prevent, if possible,
the landing of the party. The ship that
captures or sinks the Larada will prob
ably receive the $4,000 reward offered
by Captain General Weyler some time
ago.

PLOTTERs IN SPAIN.

Republicans Arrested for Alleged At
tempt to Prevent Departure ofTrOops.
MADRID, August 1S.-Many Repub-
Iican ex-Ministers and members of the
Chamber of Deputies have been arrest
ed in Barcelona on the charge of con-
Quoting a revolutionary agitation and
the discovery of an alleged plot to pre-
vent the departure of achievements
for Cuba.
According to "El Heraldo' an at
tempt was recently made by anarchists
to explode Chateau CREME, where the
Infanta Isabella is now residing. 1t is
claimed that this attempt on the life
of the Infanta was easily frustrated
but no official confirmation of the en-
tire story can be obtained.
The first embarkation of Il 600 troops
for Cuba will commence at Santander
on August 23d, terminating on August
26th. The second will take place from
August 30th till September 9th, after
which date the cavalry will embark.

TREATED TO WATER SPOUT.

Passengers of Atlantic Steamer Have
Narrow Escape.
NEW YORK, August 16.-The 800
Italian steerage passengers who arrived
from Naples today in the steamship
Neustria had deep-rooted convictions
that the lives of all on board had been
imperilIed during the voyage. Friday
evening a gigantic water-spout swept
by, while deafening thunder peals
smote the ears of the terrified immi-
grants and flashes of lightning made
the sky appear like liquid sheet of
flame.
At p. m. a small black mass of
vapor unrolled until the whole western
sky was of inky blackness. The Neus-
tria was then 400 miles from this port
Lightning illuminated the black mass
at intervals of a second or two and the
thunder was terrifying. At o'clock
the attention of every one became riv-
eted upon an object like a big cone of
water that had arisen two miles west
of the steamer.
No rain had fallen and not a breath
rippled the oceans surface. The pas
sengers were stricken dumb with ter
TOR as they watched the great cone
reach upward and JOIN the black mist,
forming column of water fully thirty
yards in diameter at the base and four
feet thick in the center of the column.
At the top it spread out like an i'm
mense umbrella. Thus it came careen-
toward the Neustria. Many of the
panic-stricken passengers fell on their
knees and prayed Others tainted,
while scores covered their faces and
waited in dumb despair for their doom
On came the great water column, but
as it neared the steamship her course
was changed slightly and the water
spout, seething and buzZing as it went,
swept by not more than 200 yards from
the starboard side.
The passengers screamed as the i'm
mense column went by and they laughed
and cried and Rugged one another in
joy when they realized that the danger
was past The great spout broke a
mile astern of the Neustria and dis
appeared.

Ii IN PARIS.

Upon the arrival of Ii Hung Chang
at Paris the other day a very comical
incident occurred, which for a moment
perpleXed the diplomats and the gen.
tlemen of the suite present very much
The terrace of the Grand Hotel, where
apartments had been reserved for the
Chinese VicerOy, was lined with guests
and their friends, anxious to catch a
glimpse of the famous Oriental states
man. At the head of the stairs stood
the gigantic porter of the hotel, in his
brilliant uniform, resembling somewhat
that of the Swiss Guards of the Pope
in the Vatican. This figure is very we'll
known to all foreigners who have Wis
tied Paris. Fully aware of his import
ance, he stood there erect, waiting the
arrival of the distinguished guest. Ii
Hung Chang, arriving, climbed care
fully out of his carriage, and walking
up the few stairs caught sight of the
dignified individual, who upon his uni
form wears heavy silver chain with a
large medal. Ii Hung Chang must have
thought him person of high rank, for
stretching out his hand toward him. he
grasped that of the porter, pressing it
long and warmly, at the same time
making as deep a bow as his advanced
age permitted. 1t is not difficult to con-
ceiVe how ridiculous this scene appear
ed to all present, and how embarrassed
the gentlemen of his suite must have
felt. The gigantic porter, however, is
now more than happy, and has grown
at least one inch in every direction:
that is, in his own estimation.

HERE AND NOW.

Here in the heart of this world,
Here in the noise and the din,
Here where our spirits were hurled
To battle with sorrow and sin.
This is the place and the spot,
For knowledge of infinite things;
This is the kingdom where Thought
Can conquer the prowess of kings.
Wait for no heavenly life,
Seek for no temple alone;
Here in the midst of the strife
Know what the sages have known
See what the Perfect One saw,
God in the depths of each soul;
God as the Light and the Law,
God as beginning and goal.
Earth is one chamber of Heaven,
Death is no grander than birth;
Joy is the life that is given,
Strive for perfection on earth.
Here is the turmoil and roar,
Show what it is to be calm;
Show how the spirit can soar,
And bring back healing and balm
Stand not aloof or apart,
Plunge in the thick of the fight;
There in the street and the mart,
That is the place to do right,
Not in some cloister or cave,
Not in some kingdom above;
Here on this side of the grave,
Here should we labor and love.

WANDERING BALLOON.
Indian Agents Near Skeena River
ThO't Twas Andree's.
Now the Question Arises whose
Air Ship Was
1t.

VICTORIA Oh. c., August 1.-THE
mystery of that ghostly balloon which
passed over Winnepeg on July 1st was
further intensified today by the receipt
Agent Loring, who is stationed at Ha-
zelton, near the head of the Skeena
river, of the passing over that far nor
thern part Of similar balloon just two
DAYS later. This word comes to the
Hon. w. A. Vowel, superintendent of
Indian Affairs, in compliance with in
structions sent to all Indian agents to
be on the lookout for Andree's eXpe-
dition, and, if required, to lend it all
possible aid. Here is Lorings report,
which comes under two separate dates:
HAZLETON, July Sd.
Sir: 1 have the honor to report that
this day at 1885 p. m. local time) an
object, by description a balloon, was
seen by a boy about four miles west
of here latitude So degrees and 10 min
utes, longitude 127 degrees and 40 min
utes). At the time there was strong
northwest wind. 1t was seen to emerge
from out of a heavy band OF white
clouds, swerving in at an intermediate
clear space in a semi-circular line, to
disappear in another in an altitude of
about 40 feet above the timber line
on the mountains 1t had a black
appearance, having been seen between
the setting sun. The boys description
of the balloon leaves no doubt as to it's
reality, and is, no doubt, the Andree
balloon, expected to have left Spitz-
bergen for the North Pole on the LIST
inst. | have the honor to be, ETC.,
r. E. LORING, Indian Agent.
The supplementary report removes
the doubt that would otherwise be cast
on the story as the imagination of an
Indian boy. 1t reads:
HAZLETON, July 10
A. w. Vowel, Superintendent of In
dian Affairs, Victoria, B. C.-Sir: [
have the honor to report information
received this day by Chail, chief head
of KitspioX, that, while trapping with
party of Indians on Blackwater lake,
above the head waters of the Skeena,
an object resembling balloon and then
displaying very bright lights was seen
by them on the evening of the same day
as before mentioned, the Bird instant,
in a nearly nOrtherfy course. Ghail,
whom you know, is a most trustworthy
man and his statement is to be cred
tied. The Indians on the Skeena were
made aware that they were liable to
see during the beginning of this month
balloon going north and of the pur-
pose of its occupants, ETC., and to re-
port to me anything noticed by them
of that description. l have the honor
to be, ETC.,
R. E. LORING, Indian Agent.
The mistake of the agent in assuming
the balloon to be that of Professor An
dree is only natural, inasmuch as, in
that remote corner of the world, the
news of the delay in the starting of
the Andree expedition has not been re-
ceived.
