London Finances.

London. July 25.-The money market
remains in Il condition of extreme ease.
The gold demand continues for the con
tinent and incoming supplies are still in
terrupted en- route to the banks. The
future of the market seems to depend
upon the mercantile relations of England
and the United States. The large pur-
chases of goods will no doubt be made
during the fall for European account,
but the trade balance has been offset
hitherto to some extent by European sales
of American securities, and more recent.
ly by some purchases of goods, hoping
to escape the new tariff bill.
At the present moment, while gold is
being shipped from Europe to New York
remittances of bullion are being made
from Australia to San Francisco. The
movements are exceptional in both cases
The stock market was closed on Satur.
day for repairs, which will occupy Il
week.
While the market during the week re-
tanned its tirmness. there was no increase
in business. The American market at
tracted the largest share of attention
though the improvement in prices was
entirely due to American purchasers
based on good crop reports. Canadian
Pacific rose 3 per cent on reports from
the KlOndyke region, and the Greek and
Turkish issues We're strengthened by the
prospects of peace.

Atlanta, Ga, July 25.-Early tomorrow
morning Edwin Flanagan will be taken
from Fulton Jail to Decatur, to be ar
raigned for his second trial. Court will
be called to order mt 8 o'clock by Judge
Gambler
Col. Glenn of the defense will ask for
n change of venue Cor his client, claim
ing that owing to the hostile feeling that
was exhibited at the first trial. the
threats made and the prejudice that ex-
sists in the county. his client could not
get affair trial. Already the case has
cost the county $4,000 and the present
trial, owing TO the increased number Of
witnesses, will raise the sum to $1,000.
The friends of the family of Aliens are
extensive and they are discontented. II
this motion is sustained and the case il
transferred to another county II Is not at
all improbable that trouble of serious
nature will arise

PROCEEDING SMOOTHLY.
Negotiations for an international
Sealing Conference.


Sealing Conference.
London, July 25.-The negotiations for
an international conference as to sealing
in Boring sen are proceeding smoothly,
and the prospects are favorable for an
early agreement between the two govern
ments. Ambassador Hay had an inter-
view yesterday with Mr.. Chamberlain,
secretary of state for the colonies. and
afterwards met Lord Salisbury. Later
in the day he sent several code dis
patches TO Secretary Sherman.
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
I'VE are given to understand that Mr..
Foster is not conducting the negotiations
with Great Britain in the Boring sea
controversy, his position being defined
by his own side as that of advisor on
technical questions.
I'VE are asked to state that all negot-
atoms with Lord Salisbury on this sub
ject are conducted by Mr.. Hay. 1t
would seem unnecessary TO most people
that this should have to be officially
stated, but there are reasons why the
actual position should be properly de-
scribed
1T may be said on very good ground
that the United States government is
anxious In this If not in other matters
TO adhere to the usages of diplomatic
courtesy and the negotiations in this
country have been conducted in the most
friendly manner"

A MATRIMONIAL MYSTERY.
4 NewIy-Married Couple Took Nor
phine in n Houston HOSIERY

Houston. Tex. July 27.-(Special.)-
This afternoon young married couple
stopping at the Hutchns House were
found in their rooms in an exhausted con-
dtion from the effects of too much NOR
phine. Several doctors took hold of the
victims and tonight at II O'Clock both are
alive, but in very critical condition. They
were married Sunday morning at a town
up the Central country and came direct to
Houston. In the room they attracted the
attention of bell boy by heavy breath
ing. Doctors at once took them in charge
and have worked without cessation with
electricity and other restoratives. The
young husband was removed to the power
house of the street car company in order
to get greater electric strength for appli-
cation. If there is any difference he Is in
better shape than his wife. He is known
to be about twenty-five and she seventeen.
They left three letters stating that the
morphine had been taken with suicidal
intent, but the full contents of the letters
have not been made public. No cause for
the act was given.

SPANS IMPOTENCY.
Her Inability to Subdue the Philip

San Francisco, July 25.-Among the
passengers on the steamer Empress of
China from the Orient was ii. ID. Levin
sohn. wealthy cigar manufacturer of
Manila. Mr.. Levinsohn has just come
from Manila, where he says the insur-
rection of the natives is still in progress.
From present indications and from
what could learn" he said, "the Span
ish authorities will never be able to sub
due the insurrectionists. 1t is common
report in Manila that the papers are not
allowed to print the truth. They are all
under press censorship. 1t was credit
ably reported in the city shortly after n
recent engagement that the natives had
killed sixty of the Spanish soldiers and
lost only two of their number AS soon
as the rainy weather sets in, which will
be very shortly, you may have some fur

A regiment of Spanish soldiers came

them wore shoes and others did not.
Many were without hats and were more
or less distressed for the want of proper
clothing and food"

tonic Maceo in Pinar del Rio, and who,
with his chief of staff. Col, Bacallao,
was captured IN March last after having
been seriously wounded, has recovered
from the effects of his wounds and the
illness from which he suffered. He was
removed from the hospital to the Cabanas

Gen. Rivera. according to the officials,

sary to perform an operation for the re-
moval of the tumor from which Gen.
Rivera suffered.

Dry Goods.

New York, July 27.-The dry goods
market shows little Improvement in any
direction. The settlement of the tariff
question has had signal effect on the
market, but aside from certain advances
in price of staple cottons reported to be
imminent, there is no real gain in the
situation, yet. The announcement that
"Frult-of-th-loom" has been placed at
value was Il significant feature only as
showing bear feeling among selling.
The actual demand is still limited and
buyers. are slow to show interest in
goods in any, other way only in cases of
depleted stocks.

Berlin. July 25.-Probably not since
the days of Prince Bismarck has there
been such an important sitting of the
lower house of the Prussian diet as was
that of Saturday. In order to under
stand the Importance of the division
taken ON Il vote, it must be remembered
that the lower house of the diet does
not contain Il single socialist member.
and therefore the law of associations bill
was rejected on its merits by Il body of
men which, although radicals, are as
loyal as the Trainer of the bill. Concern
ing the attitude of the public. it is sutii-
cient to say that the crowd only cheered
the arrival of the members well known
as resolute opponents of the bill The
speeches of the government members
were MS spiritless as though delivered
over a bill already dead. Dr. Miguel re-
gretfully abandoned it to its fate and
occupied himself in sketching his future
policy. which, briefly, is II policy of COM

BLACKBURN RETURNING.
He Left the baltimore Team Last
Saturday

Dallas, Tex, July 27.-(Special.) Geo.
Blackburn. the pride of the Texas base
ball rams, has parted company with the
Baltimore Orioles and is on his way, TO
Dallas. Tonight Manager McCloskey re-
ceived wire from Manager Edward Han
lon of the Baltimore team. 1t conveyed
to MeCloskey the startling information
that Blackburn had taken the train for
Texas Saturday last. The manager of the
Defenders was dazed when he read the
telegram. 1t means loss of $500 to him,
however. as the departure of Blackburn
releases Manager Hanlon. 1t is likely
that Blackburn will arrive in Dallas to
morrow.

Manchester Markets.

Manchester, July 25.-The market dur.
ing the week was firm, but scarcely
healthy. because its strength was based
on cotton and not on demand for yarns
and goods. The acceptance of wretched
ly low bids has given important relief in
some directions and the shutting down
of looms has contributed to lessen the
supply on balance.
The week closed with the market
slightly higher and yarns selling fairly
though prices showed continued shrink
age of profit margins and some say an
increase of loss. The outlook is uncer
tain, generally because the monsoon is
disappointing and the American crol
problem unusually puzzling.
