DUN'S REVIEW.
Europe Sending Gold to Pay for Amer
lean Grain.

lean Grain.
New YORK, Sept. 25.- r, G. Dun &c
Co S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Gold imports have begun direct from
England and from France, besides the
arrival of $4 900, 900 at San Francisco
from Australia for wheat exported.
The gold received there and
started from Europe amounts to
Sc, jO0,0 0D in four days, and the
advance of its rate by the Bank of
England to 2H per cent seems little
likely to check the movement, in view
of heavy merchandise balances due
this country and rise in the rate of
interest here. The August excess of
merchandise and specie exports over
imports was not far from $40, 600, 600,
and the September excess will evil
IDENTIFY be larger, unless shipments of
gold are considerable.
Bradstreet's says: "There is check
to the onward sweep of demand in
staple lines noticeable throughout the
country for the past six weeks. The
yellow fever quarantine, which eX-
tends from Texas to Georgia, has
brought wholesale business to prac-
teal standstill throughout the greater
portion of the region embraced by the
Gulf states"

Ephrain. Utah, Nov. e.-The San
pete stake academy celebrated Found
ers' day here Friday. A line programme
was rendered in the meeting house
during the forenoon, after which every
body partook of the big dinner pre-
pared by the students and their friends
at the academy building. There was a
ball at the q -ilion in the evening, at
which Colonel Tatlock of Salt Lake, in
behalf of the Grand Army of the Re
pubic, presented the academy with a
line flag. The colonel made a very elo-
quent address and was frequently ap-
plauded- Especially touching were his
remarks When he exhibited to the stu
dents an old battle flag and related
some of its history. President Peterson
accepted the flag for the academy in a
pleasing address.
The academy authorities are taking
active steps toward building a new
academy building 1t is proposed to
erect one that viii accommodate 200
students, and they are trying to get
the public square for a site. The senti-
ment seems to be in favor of giving it
TO them, providing they will agree to
erect good building within a certain
period of time. The number of students
is getting altogether too large for the
present accommodations.
Winter has apparently already set in
here Last night about three inches
of snow fell and today is cold in conse-
Quence.
The new opera house is nearing COM
pletlon and the prOprietors expect to
open it next Thanksgiving day.

| MORNING WITH THE CAR.
Vasli MakrOff Formerly of the Russian Police, Tells Of
Secret Attempts on the Life Of the Car.

THE assassination of Canoyas by an
anarchist said Colonel W. F. M. Nc
Carthy, may presage a general re-
vival of revolutionary activity. I once
spent a morning with the emperor of
Russia-to emphasize the real danger
he was at that time laboring under
from nihilists. An anti-nihilist device
which had been highly commended to
him was proven then and there, under
his own eyes, in his own palace grounds
to be worse than useless"
Colonel Mccarthy, now resident of
New York, is in the prime of life 1t is
only by fortunate chance that his
friends succeed in getting him to talk
about his marvellous experiences on the
cars personal staff in the court of
Russia
1T was in Paris said Colonel Nc
Carthy, that [ became acquainted with
an aide OF the Gar Alexander. The
Russians are getting greatly interested
in applied chemistry and novel mechan-
ical devices for warfare. l had some
idea Of these subjects Which this aide
asked me to put before his superiors.

views finally led to my going to St
Petersburg, where I was presented to
the ear himself.
II first met the emperor in the winter
palace one morning at o'clock. He
was an early riser, and the machinery
of the court was all in operation by
that hour. His majesty received me
kindly, and at once put me at my ease

Petersburg, to protect the grounds of
the palace by a steel barrier, which
was to be charged with powerful al
ternating currents of electricity. The
proposition had been looked on favor
ably, and the company's agent had
been authorized TO build an expert
mental section of the barrier. Dyna-
mite, the new instrument of destruc-
ton, but little understood, had more
than once been hurled over the walls,
from the street, and exploded some
minutes thereafter by time fuse.
Many innocent passers-by had lost
their lives from the explosion and sec
tions of the wall had been thrown
down, the culprits escaping to a safe
distance before the fuse burned down
to the bomb. The nearer approach of
these miscreants was to be apprehend-
ed by digging under the walls or bur
rowing up through the sewers or lands
If this company's devise would render
it impossible to tunnel under the walls
the imperial government would I'M
doubtedly pay a large sum of money
for it. Russia is never niggardly; the
sum agreed on was 100000 roubles,
about S250,000. All this | learned after
wards.
1--WE found the barrier buried Is feet
under ground, reaching to within a foot
enclosed in a wooden box and the earth
over it was packed so as to leave no
indications of it's presence Four
powerful dvnamoS were erected in the
palace grounds Their currents We're
conveyed to the barrier, which was in
turn so connected with an elaborate
system of alarm gongs in the palace
that contact with the steel network
would not only be fatal to the person
Int
slant sound the alarm in the palace.
AN ELECTRICAL BARRIER.
1.-THE car, in few words, asked me
to make him an expert report on it. l
agreed TO pass the barrier without diff
Guilty, provided he would allow me to
use two or three 1aborers and the or
binary tools of an electrician. He
agreed. A couple of laborers were sent
at once to dig out the earth from the
trench in which the barrier was buried,
exposing an area four or five feet
square of the inclosing box. With a
tenon saw l now cut out a circular sec
ton, some four feet across from the
box, exposing the steel netting within.
The car all the While stood looking
on.
From the kit of electrical tools
took some silk thread, pair of rubber
gloves, a pair of rubber handled nip
pers, coil of copper wire and rub
Der mat to stand on. Putting on the
gloves, I made circular loop of the
wire, leaving loose one end, which
grounded. The loop, some four feet
across, | proceeded to fasten in the
steel netting, observing the utmost
precaution against coming in actual
contact with the netting, for that
meant death. Holding the copper loop
up to the netting until the two almost
but not quite, touched, 1 passed the
silk thread from one to the other by
the nippers, drawing the threads
tighter and tighter as l progressed, I'M
til finally I had the entire copper loop
secured to the barrier, making a COM
plete circuit.
Next 1 stuck the loose end of the
copper wire into the ground and pro-
ceeded with the rubber-handled nip
pers, to cut away, with impunity, all
those meshes of the network which

heard to say more than once that the
happiest hours of his life were those

LINCOLN'S PLACE IN RUSSIA.
THE peculiar affection for the United
States cherished in Russia, in spite of
the Russians dislike for foreigners in
general, is a national, religious senti-
ment In every Russian church the Wis
itor is impressed-if an American, he is
astounded-by the prominent position
in which he beholds three great por-
traits, displayed with reverence and
deep significance. The first is that of
Peter the Great, the father of Russia as
we know it. The second is that of
Abraham Lincoln, the liberator. The
third is that of Alexander. That was
an evening to be treasured up in mem
DRY. But l spent one morning with
the car which was even more memoir
able
Il used to report to his majesty for
orders every morning at 8. This pa~'!
ticular morning, after the rest had left
the room, he invited me to accompany
him out into the palace grounds, which
cover, [ suppose. the equivalent of
about four New York City blocks. 1t
was just then that nihilists had en-
listed in their behalf the unknown ter
rors of dynamite. New dangers were
suspected on all sides. AS we walked
into the open the ear told me in a
few words that the Silvertown cable
company proposed through a repre-
sentative sent for that purpose to st.
