CHAPTER XXU.

After his dismissal by the millionaire,
Beltran Carew stopped in the hall of
Strathnarn House and asked to see Miss
Lennox. She came to him looking daz-
xlingly bright.
"You have seen my uncle, Beltran?''
she said. What is the news?'
He took her hand in his aud looked sad
ly into her face.
"My darling, you must send me away
from you. Your uncle will not hear of the
engagement-will not listen to one word
about it,
Il shall never send you away, Beltran,
and shall never give you up she replied
frankly. "Was my uncle very angry

Ter. of Iowa, introduced a resolution
for the restoration of the free

came a resolution favoring the prohlbl-

exercise of the right of eminent 90
main and the requirement Of such ne
cessities by the State. On a call or
States three-to-one majority against
the resolution was developed. Another
financial resolution was similarly dis
posed of after short discussion to
avoid flibustering, which had been re-
sorted to by the Populists. Later IN
the day the Populists were again
turned down. on the final report OF

CHAPTER XIII.

A mantle of gloom fell over the once
happy households; the servants soon per-
ceived that there was something wrong.
Peter Lennox kept to his study now, and
seldom dined at home, or spoke to his
niece; he was vexed, angry, and discom-
flied.
In the meantime Beatrix saw Beltran
atrare intervals-'g limpses of Elysium"
he called such meetings. He could not
go to Strathnarn Householder Lennox
had forbidden it. The Duchess of Elms-
lie was very civil to him when she met
him, but she never invited him to her
house. The lovers met at balls and par
ties, at the opera. If they could not meet
they could write; and they did so.
One evening the three members of the
divided household dined together. Peter
Lennox had resolved upon making one
more appeal to his niece, and so talked to
her more kindly than usual. 1t was gen
tie Lady Lennox who caused the mis-
chief. She noticed the ring with its band
of pearls, and, taking her daughters
hand in hers, she said:
'Trixie, what beautiful ring! What
large pearls! How fine they are. Have
seen that before?"
mo, mamma she replied
"Where did it come from?" asked Lady
Lennon, quite unconsciously.
Some girls would have eyaded the ques-
ton. and without speaking falsely would
have laughed away the inquiry-not SO
frank, uncompromising Beatrix. She
looked up and said:
"Beltran Carew gave it to me, mamma.
1t is my engagement ring"
The few simple words fell like thun-
derbolt. Lady Ailsa sighed deeply. Peter
Lennox abruptly rose from his chair.

1t has been suggested that economy
of operation of street railroads would
be subserved by pacing the wheels ON
ball bearings, and experiment has
shown that the starting pull required
on car so equipped is very much less
than on other cars. 1t seems to be
only a question whether the cost of in
PRODUCTION and maintenance of ball
bearings is not greater than the cost Of
the energy that would be saved by
their use. If it is not, we may look for
far greater station economy in the near
future.

World.

Under both protective and free
trade tariff we have been able to Sc
cure practically the same share of trade
in the markets of the world, our ex-
ports to foreign countries being 81, $780,
27S, 14S in 1892 and 81 ,O51 ,9S7, 091 in the
1897 fiscal year. The total imports Of
all foreign countries reached only
$7,569, 100000 in 1888, the latest date
for which Mulhall has compiled such
statistics. If we allow an increase of
one-third in the value of the goods i'm
ported by all foreign countries since
1888, it will give total Of ten billions
Of dollars as their entire value, to be
competed for by all exporting nations.
It is clear then that, in 1892 and in
1885, we secured each year e-tenth
part of the possible import trade of
all countries in competition with the
cheaper labor of all European and
Asiatic manufacturing and exporting
nations. We regard this as being
very favorable showing considering
the fact that we are dependent upon
England for our shipping facilities,
that we pay higher wages than any
other country in the world, and that
the value of our home market is worth
to us-When we are prosperous under
protection-nearly eight times as much
as we could possibly secure if we sup
piled all foreign countries with their
entire import trade.

AFTER THE PLANT
Russia Negotiating for
Carnegie Works.
Ordnance Experts Think Removal
VIII Work Great Injury to
United States.

NEW YORK, July 21.-The Herald s
Washington special says: Secretary
Long has again asked the Carnegie
and Bethlehem companies to furnish
the Government with armor for the
battle-ships Illinois, Alabama and Wis
consin at a cost of $500 900
l have been told that the Carnegie
Company is considering a proposition
for the sale of its plant to the Russian
Government. This report has been in
circulation in ordnance circles for some
days, and, while the representatives of
the companies here profess TO know
nothing about it, some ordnance ex-
perts claim there may be some founda-
ton for it. The absence of the Carne-
gle plant in case of war would be deep
iy felt, ordnance experts declare, and
they would be very glad to learn that
the Carnegie people have determined
to keep their plant in the United States.
The reply of the Carnegie Company
to the Secretary's communication, it is
asserted, will indicate whether or not
there is any truth in the report re-
garding the sale of the establishment.

THE PRICE OF SILVER.

1t Has Reached the Lowest Point in
Two Years.
NEW YORK, July 22.-The Herald
says: Bar silver has declined to the
lowest price in two years, and private
dispatches from abroad received in
Wall street are to the effect that the
holders of the white metal have weak
ened." Some of the bullion brokers
assume that this means that the silver
pool which was formed abroad more
than a year ago was liquidating its
holdings.
Other brokers were of the opinion
that the holdings of the pool had been
liquidated some time ago and that the
Iessened demand for silver in the East,
through the adoption of the gold stan
dard by Japan, among other reasons,
was responsible for the decline. Out
siders generally called attention to the
fact that the recession in price came
simultaneously with the announcement
of the great gold discoveries in the
Klondyke region.

for ocean-going craft to reach Chicago
and the other lake ports. While the
