more witnesses as to Mr. Scruggs'
character, and the assistant district
attorney agreed with him, adding,
however, that it had nothing to do
with the case.
Clarence w. Kipp. New York repre-
sentative of the Scruggs firm, and w.
I. Steigess, testified as to Mr.. Lang
horns good standing. The commits
siGner said that he understood that
Mr.. Scruggs did not dispute having
purchased the jewelry in London; that
it was dutiable and no duty had been
paid. He said that he was not judg-
ing as to guilt, but whether the de-
PENDANTS should be held for the grand
jury. The evidence, the commissioner
said, was that the defendants had
brought goods in without paying duty.
Another important point was the con-
f1ict of testimony between Langhorn
and Inspector Donohue about the find
ing Of the jewel belt The accused
were held for the grand jury. Mr.
Scruggs was greatly agitated at the
result. The old bonds were renewed.

French President

PARIS, June 5.-The Figaro today
announces that a vote for a credit to
defray the expenses of President
Faure's approaching visit to ST. Peters,
burg will be asked during the last
day of the session of parliament, in
order to avoid disagreeable discussion.
The Figaro adds: "The government is

sia with German fleet to meet the
French squadron and salute President
Faure." M. L. Bazille, a radical deputy

st. Petersburg, says hew told by M
De Witte, the Russian minister Of
finance, that the visit of President
Faure to the capital Of Russia is re-
garded at st. Petersburg as being Of
considerable Importance. The deputy
adds that naval and military reviews
will be held in his honor, while En-
peror William Of Germany, whose visit
was timed prior to President Faure's,
will not witness review.

FIGHT PROSPECTS GOOD.
ChicagO-St. Paul Lines Likely to Get
Mixed Up.

The prospects for an all-around fight be-
tween the Chicago-St. Paul lines are fmprov-
ing every day. The situation is very serious
at present, and there seems to be no chance
for its betterment. The lines outside of the
association deny in the most emphatic man
ner that they are in any way responsible for
the Generalization in rates, and declare that
all of the trouble is caused by the low rates
that are made secretly by the association

roads outside must meet the reductions They
say that if the association roads once cut
the rates openly they will have the hardest
kind Of time getting them back to the old
point. They will not they assert, agree tc

Money.

RICHMOND, VA, Aug. IL, 1897.
1t is easy to make money when
all conditions point to return OF
real and continued prosperity.
What are the facts' We have
conservative administration. The
country will be governed in fair
ness to the interests Of business
men. The tariff question IS set
tied. The political situation IS
such that nothing adverse can be
done with the currency question
for three years. Liquidation IS
finished. Leading papers in Eu-
rope recognize the deficiency OF
their crops. The United States IS
the only country in a position to
furnish necessary supplies kx-
change has dropped sharply. Sc
curities have advanced handsome
". Reactions are natural, healthy
and to be expected. The market
declined this week from one to
three points, but promptly recov-
cred, and is now advancing.
In the great period Of bushes
revival from 1879 to 1881, when
money was Gearer. securities sold
much higher. Strong people may
combine to sell the market down
to accumulate cheap stocks, but
the future is bright with promise,
and in our opinion all good securi-
ties are a purchase. There rarely
comes an occasion 50 favorable for
the making of money.
