j. T. Nj. Pierce Is Dealing in Mining
Investments in South Amcrica.
John L. NJ. Pierce, the forger and cm-
bezzlcr who operated in South Dakota and
in London pockets, resides, it is now
learned, in the little city of Reyes, Bolivia,
where he is engaged in business, chiefly
mining investments, and is doing fairly
well. His family is with him. He took
with him $4,000 in American gold, the
equivalent of $5o,0oO of the currency of
Bolivia. He is under constant police sur
veillancc and is in terror of his life lest he
he kidnapped and taken upon British soil or
into some state having cNtradition.
Forgery never outlaws in England. and
it is known that all his forgeries were com.
mitted there. AT first it was u mystery TO
the officers to know how lie obtained ac-
cess to the official seals of so many Dakota
and Nebraska officers, but later the police
discovered where lie had obtained from a
London statiOner a wholesale lot of these
seals, and other evidence was obtained
which, showed that all his forgeries were
committed in England, where, as long us
he lives. lie will be amenable to the law.

Lends Diplomatic Support in the
Aid of International BiMctallism
dispatch from London says: The
three special ENJOYS empowered by the
United States to negotiate with the Euro.
pean powers for a settlement of the silver
question OH international lines will have
two embassies behind them in place of one.
They have produced SO good an impression
upon the French government during their
stay in Paris that the French embassy in
London has been instructed to cO-oeerate
With the American embassy in such con-
ferences and negotiations as may be con-
tluctctl with the British government.
1t has been known that lIeline and the
French ministry were outsp0ken in ex-
pressing sympathy for the objects of their
mission, and in promising that their con-
currence would not he wanting for the
cause of rational bimetallism on intcrna-
tional lines, but it has not been suspected
that the French government would be pre-
pared to lend diplomatic us we'll as moral
support TO this movement in favor of
bimetallism. 1t is, nevertheless, true that
the ENJOYS in the negotiations with the
foreign Office and the chancellor of the cx-
chequer will have the hearty cooperation
of the French and American embassies.
France is the natural ally of the
United States in this movement
because she has greater interest than any
other European state in bimetallism. The
Eank of France contains in its vaults over
$255,OG in silver which has been with
drawn from circulation. Both govern
mcnts have a common interest in obtain.
ing the adjustment of this monetary ques-
ton, which has caused disturbance
throughout the commercial world, and
they are naturally supporting each other
in the negotiations now open in London.

STRIKES DISTURB BUSINESS
Serious Labor Troubles Complicatc
the Trade Situation.

the Trade Situation.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: The strike of bituminous
coal miners has taken $4,000 men or more
from work, and threatens to restrict the
supplies of fuel in some quarters, though
the West Virginia and some other mines
which declined to take part claim to be
able to meet the eastern demand for some
months. The tin plate works have settled
the wage question and are again busy.
The cotton mills have steady and in :
crcasing demand, and the quotation for
middling uplands has been advanced u
sixteenth, aided by speculation, on the
strength of reports of damage to the crop
in Texas and Arkansas. The woolen mills
are getting decidedly small orders for fall
wants, and are beginning hopefully on
spring goods, but are cautious in contracts
for future delivery. While the most
cautious estimates of the wheat Weld have
been advanced, that of the Orange Judd
Farmer to 5775,0oO,000 bushels. prices have
been lifted nearly 81. cents at New York.
although Atlantic exports C!lour included J,

estimate of the wheat yield, and if the
weather continues favorable the crop NAV
