London Finances.

London, June 13.-The money market
remains practically unchanged, with dis
count stationary from day to day. The
gold demand for the continent continues
but the approach of the jubilee, festivl'
ties takes away attention from the mar
kets The probability is that for the
next fortnight very little will be done
but after the diamond jubilee day con-
siderable activity is expected, with a
general advance of values. American
railway and mining securities of all
sorts have received the most attention
the fall having been very pronounced
There are, however, prospects of rise
in view of the promising advices as to
the crops and the consequent increase IL
traffic.
There have been a good many dealings
in options, and most of the bond issues
show buoyant tendency: Northern
Pacific preferred showed a favorable re
action the last of the week and rose
1 IA points. New York Central and
Chesapeake and Ohio rose IL; Atchlsor
preferred 3-S; Wabash preferred, IA
Denver preferred, Erie, Pennsylvania
and Reading, Is. +, <,
A prominent feature during the. week
was the demand for Grand Trunk and
the Canadian railway securities in gen
eral with the exception of Canadian Pa
cifc, which fell Is.

By nm American synd;cnte.

Glasgow, June 13.-The most careful in
quiry among the leading cotton dealers do
not justify confirmation or a contradic-
ton of the report that an American syndi-
cate has completed arrangements whereby
it will shortly begin operations of large
thread mills at Paisley. 1t is generally
admitted that the high prices prevailing
would offer tempting inducement to such
an enterprise, but the opinion of those best
qualified to judge is that the project would
be venturesome, owing to the wide connec-
ton now enjoyed by the thread manufac-
turers of Paisley. If an opposition to the
thread monopoly was threatened it is
thought that the Americans would be more
likely to. begin operations at home. For
it is known that arrangements are almost
completed for thread agency here abb
sorbing the Williamantic, Conn, mills. As
the Mile-End Spool company's works were
acquired some time ago. it follows that
there is now only one important mill on
the other side.

Hawaiian Callers.

Washington, June 12.-Mr. Hatch, the
Hawaiian minister, and Lorin Thurston,
minister to the United States, called
lat the state department this afternoon
and spent half an hour in close consulta-
ton with Assistant Secretary Day. They
said upon coming away that their bust
ness was unimportant, but declined to
state its nature. All that could be
gathered from the state department was
that the visit had no reference to the
trouble that Hawaii is experiencing in the
effort to control the entry and colonial
ton of Japanese laborers. AS it is well
known, however, that the Hawaiian rep
resentatives are losing no opportunity to
impress upon congressman and other pub
lie mc2 the necessity of speedy action In
the direction of the annexation of the
island, lest the chance be lost to the
United States, It Is probable that the
minister profited by his visit to Judge
Day to make some representations In
that line and perhaps to suggest outlines
for treaty.

Naxigntion Concessions.

Managua, Nicaragua, June 13.-By the
terms of the Pellas steamboat conces-
sions, just purchased by the Atlas Steam,
ship company for Lake Nicaragua and
the Juarez river, between Nicaragua and
Greytown, the company reserves for
thirty years the right of steam naviga-
ton in the lake, with right of way and
lands for wharves and houses anywhere
along the route. The company is to
deepen the river channel six feet and to
construct a railway from Lake Silicon,
near Greytown, to Lake Nicaragua, the
government granting 5000 pesos in silver
per mile and entry free to all raw or
manufactured articles necessary for the
carrying out of the company's agreement.
The existing canal company is not named
in the contract.

A Foul Assnssination.

Knoxville, Tenn, June 13-The facts
surrounding the murder of Will Mccoy
recently shot from ambush near Oliver
Springs, Tenn, have just come to ligh
by the arrest of Tran Hackworth, aget
30 years, and his son, Al Hackworth
aged IS years. After their arrest they
were lodged in jail at Clinton, but upor
the order of Judge Hicks the son was
brought to this city today and lodged In
the Knox county jail to prevent any col
fusion with his father.
After being shot from ambush by one
of these two men. Mccoy, the murdered
man, who was driving a twO-horst
wagon, instantly expired in his wagon
and was drawn to his barn gate a corpse
by the faithful horses. Upon halting al
the gate, McCoy's little 5.year-old daugh.
ter rushed out to meet her father, but
found him dead in the wagon.
A lawsuit over the boundary between
the farms Of these parties was decided
in McCoy's favor, and this angered the
Hackworths to commit the CHASTITY deed

action that could be taken by the depart
ment was to communicate this information
to all collectors and masters of the patrol
fleet on the Florida coast with instructions
to be on the alert to prevent the departure
of any suspected expedition. This was
done by telegraph.
1t developed later that the department
has specific information of the shipment of
arms and munition for what promises to
be one of the most important tilibustering
expeditions for several months. car
load OF arms left Jacksonville Friday
morning by the Florida East Coast Rail-
road and passed near Smyrna, southbound.
A second carload of rifles and dynamite
left Jacksonville Saturday morning on the
regular freight for the probable purpose of
being transferred to some vessel on the
east coast, probably the yacht Valusia,
which has been engaged to transfer these
munitions from the railway to the vessel
destined for Cuba. 1t is probable that the
vessel which will receive these arms will
not come close to shore.
