They Tampereu With the jury.

q. E. Danforth and D. Fl. Baker an.
swered in the Ga1st!en, Ala, city court
Saturdayto show cause why proceedings
OF contempt should not be taken against
them. 1t was charged that they had
made contract to corrupt and inhu-
ence the jury in the celebrated case of
Danforth and Armstrong VS.. the Tenn
essee and Coosa railroad. The letters
OF Baker and Danforth and the con-
tract secured from Jack King, Of
Rome, Ga, was introduced, but the
Judge ruled that there was absolutely
10 evidence to show that there has
been any attempt at bribery or cor
ruptlon, but the conduct of defend
ents was very reprehensible and was
subject to Indictment by the grand
jury. They were placed under bond
OF 81, 900 each to await action Of that
body.

Old Policy 10 Be Continued,


Postmaster General Gary will con-
tlnue the old policy as to distributing
patronage of the posto1fices, and he
announced Saturday that he would not
deviate from the practice followed by
past administrations. This, as Il gen
eral rule, gives to every senator the
privilege of recommending post
master for his home postotfioe and to
each Republican senator the largest
postotlce in his district, which, how
ever, in the case of senator not of
the Republican faith will go to the
Republican committee or other ref
cree. With these exceptions the Re-
publican representatives usually are
permitted to name the postmasters for
their respective districts. In Demo-
cratic districts the selection is left to
referee, or perhaps to a Republican
senator. The commission delegates
will have to keep themselves posted as
to the dates of expiration of terms of
postmasters, as the old custom of the
department respecting postmasters and
commissioners was stopped by Post.

R. G.. Dun e. Co.'S. weekly review OF
trade says: Though steadily increas.

volume in former years of prosperity
and many express disappointment.
Yet there is some gain every week,
with more hands at work and more
mills in operation, and the result, large
purchasers for consumption, cannot be
long delayed. In some branches it is
felt already; there is large distribution
OF finished goods and the demand for
commercial loans has sharply increased,
especially in dry goods and the iron
and steel branches.
While manufacturers of cotton goods
are looking forward with much conf
dence, the present demand is not equal
to expectations, nor has the curtail-
ment in production of print cloth &C.

BlMETALLlSM HOPELESS,
Perry Belmont Says England Will Never
Give Her Consent.

New York, July 1S.-Perry Belmont
who returned from Europe on Saturday,
IN a carefully prepared interview which
he gave out for publication today, had
this to say on the money question:
In regard to the present attitude OF
Europe towards international BIZ
metallism, there are advocates of it in
France, England and Germany, as there
were year ago, but the advocacy has not
increased IN volume or intensity Neither
France nor Germany will unite with us
in placing gold and silver on parity.
unless England leads the way. The con-
tinued increase in gold production the
surplus last year and this year of British
income over expenditures. the continued
supremacy of England in commerce and
of London as an international money
market have the effect of persuading
Parliament that the present coinage, cur
rency and financial system is good, even
though there is distress in India.
"The Mckinley adm inistration is
actively endeavoring, as the Republican
platform Of 1896 requires, to promote the
free coinage of silver by international
agreement. Its ambassadors and special
commissioners are working in concert
under the law enacted by the last Con-
gress which Cleveland approved
There is every prospect of an inter
national conference to be held within %
short time and probably to assemble in
Paris.
European bi-metallists believe that if,
in th9 faJi1Ta 0f
metallist, we shall open our mints to
silver on the ratio of 16, and subsequent-
ly Europe opens hers on the ratio of 15 2
then all our gold will leave US as it did
after 1884, and only token silver coins
would remain.''
