THE SILVER QUESTION.
CAUSE OF SOME ALARM AMONG
ENGLISH FINANCIERS.
Announcement That the Bank of
England VIII Hold a Reserve
of the White Metal.

LONDON, Sept 1.-THE important
announcement made by the Times
this morning in an article from spec
ial correspondent to the effect that the
Directors Of the Bank of England have
consented to hold one-fifth of the bank
reserve in silver has caused much ex-
citement on the Continent.
The Governor of the Bank of Eng
land, Albert George SandeInan, when
questioned on the subject to-day by q
representative of the Associated Press
refused to confirm or deny the report
From other Bank of England officials
however, it was learned that the article
was probably a balloon d'essai sent up
al the instance of the Government in
order to ascertain the temper of the
people on the subject before giving A
final answer to the United States Mon
etary Commission headed by Senator
Edward o. Wolcott of Colorado.
The Pail Mall Gazette" this after
noon, commenting upon the report re-
ferred to, says: This startling rumor
is such a bolt from the blue that we
would fain believe there is some mis-
take. Should the suggested act Of the
bank have substantiation in fact, the
commercial world would Immediately
rise up in arms and protest against so
dangerous an innovation. Our contem-
porary darkly hints at pressure from
high quarters, and with equal mystery
suggests weighty affairs of state as Il
possible explanation for this sudden
and unexpected departure from the
straight and narrow path. But the
business community will not be salts
fed with any vague and unauthorized
statements of this kind, and demands
an official pronouncement."

RUSSELL WARD.
Chicago's Public Administrators
Wants His Remains

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-Public Admin
istrator O'Donnell is having considera
BILE difficulty in finding the remains of
w. Russell Ward the Englishman who
committed suicide by jumping from g
Chicago and Northwestern train a few
days ago. Since Mr. O'Donnell took out
letters on the estate, he has been en-
deavoring to obtain the remains in or
der to inter them, as there is 500 per-
sonal property which belonged to the
decedent. Mr.. O'Donnell has applied
to the Chicago and Northwestern Off
cials but has been unable to obtain
any information as to what has become
of the body. He has also telegraphed
to number of Iowa towns near where
Wards body was found. Mr.. O'Donnell
will also communicate with number
of London clubs of which Mr.. Ward
was a member, for the purpose of find
ing his relatives in England.

s: America has been absorbing

States: America has been absorbing
eight-tenths of our total exports. In
spite of this, Japan is importing all ma
chinery, tools and implements, ETC., not
from America, but from Europe. In
fact, Japan has not reciprocated her
commercial friendship with the United
States. The Americans often COM
plain of this and their complaint is not
unreasOna BILE. The reason that her
trade has continued in this unbalanced
state for thirty years appears to be,
first, that the policy hitherto pursued
by the Americans has been such that
they was so much occupied in fostering
and developing their domestic indus
tries as to be unable to go abroad and
get orders; secondly, that they have al
most paid no attention to the markets
in the Orient; and thirdly, although
with the progress of their agricultural
and manufacturing Industries and the
consequent increase of productions,
navigating power between America and
the East has been in the hands of Eu-
ropeans and also the freight rates have
always been dearer as compared with
those between Europe and the Orient
As such they could by no means secure
large demands for their products in
the Eastern markets. From this it
will be seen that the uneQuilibrium of
the Japan American trade is simply
natural However, this is not the way
to expand the trade between the two
countries, nor is it desirable for the
promotion of friendship between them.
This state of affairs should be rem
edied at once by the opening of naviga-
ton to New York. Should a line of
steamers to New York be opened and
the freight reduced, there are plenty
of American productions which can
profitably be imported into our coun-
try. | might instance American cotton
which has become so important for US
as to cause us to feel the necessity for
opening up some way of more conve-
niently importing it,
Returns compiled by the Japanese
Cotton Spindles Union show that dur
ing last month there were sixty-thr
mills working, with an aggregate Of
100, ,39S spindles.
The Mainichi' states that the Unit
ed States Government has advised the
Hawaiian Government to withdraw the
proposal made by the latter to Japan
to decide the immigration affair by ar
bitration, and that the Hawaiian Gov
eminent has been inclined to comply
with this advice. The reason stated
is that the advocates of the annexation
question consider that, should the dis
pute be left to the arbitration of a
third Power, more than a year will be
consumed before it would be settled,
thereby causing great inconvenience in
carrying out the proposed annexation.
1t is therefore desired that the dispute
be settled before the annexation bill is
discussed in the Senate in its next
session.

Thousands Out of Work as a Result
of the Engineers Strike.
New Firms Depending on Engineering Are
Stopping Work.
The Rise OF Wheat Causes a Big
Raise in the Price of Bread at
LOndon--A Loaf is Now Worth
a Shilling in the British Me-
tropOlis.

LONDON, Sept. 11.-Copyrighted,
1897, by the Associated Press.-The
past week in Great Britain has been
marked by effervescence in the labor
world, the quieting of the Indian trou-
bles, with more or less confession of the
Governments impotence in dealing
with the Ameer of Afghanistan and the
defeat of the Marquis of Salisbury in
the case of the German bondholders in
the dreary struggle over the Graeco-
Turkish peace negotiations, which de-
feat has been caustically criticised and
has been followed by the Sultan send
ing winter clothing to the Turkish
troops in Thessaly.
The trades union congress at Bir-
mingham, which has been styled by
Tom Mann, the labor leader. as the
congress of "fatheads," adjourned to-
day after a session chiefly notable for
the proposal to form a gigantic trades
union out of every conceivable trade,
IN order to conront capital with the
threat of general paralysis of all in
dustry and by the proposal to stand by
the engineers in their present struggle.
The balance of the time Of the con-
gress was mainly occupied with re-
affirming time honored resolutions, ex-
pressing, as the Morning POST says,
pious opinions of little value in prae-
tical life" Even the Daily Chronicle"
says: I'VE suppose there is nothing
for 1t to do, pending a political rival
but to go on passing the same good old
resolutions" "
The ninth week of the engineers
struggle leaves 1000 engineers. r.
600 trades unionists, $500 non-union-
lists and 5000 laborers out of work.
with strike pay amounting to f33, 600
per week. New firms depending on en-
gineering are stopping work.
The so-called ''jingoism' in the Unit
ed States is finding an echo here. An
anonymous correspondent has written
long letter to the spectator in
which he attempts to prove that the
United States is really friendly to
Great Britain, in spite of the American
newspaper statements to the contrary
The Spectator" replies to this letter,
saying: while official America treats
England as at present, can any one be-
lieVe in American friendliness ?"
The rise in wheat to forty shillings
has dragged up the price of bread to
612@7d, and in the poorest quarters Of
London, where bread is sold in slices.
the loaf is fetching Is. On top of this
the Millers' National Union has started
demand for fewer hours of labor
with threatened strike if their de-
mand is not accorded.
Since the announcement of the ex-
tensive discoveries of gold in the Klon-
dixie region, the company promoters Of
London have been busy taking advan-
tage of the newspaper boom given to
that part of the world. Fifteen Klon-
dixie QimiteO companies which have
recently started have brought out cap
ital to the amount of f2,046SS3 ster-
ling, of which 81, 1877 ,691 is offered to
the public. In the meanwhile there is
an immense demand for anything Klon-
dikian, in order to float further COM
panies in the spring of 1898

ARGENTINE WILL RETALIArE.
The Southern Republic Will En-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-A cable

ment to-day from United States Min
lister Buchanan at Buenos Ayres, read
ing as follows:
