SERMONS outbreale Of croatians.

LONDON, Sept 23.-Special dispatches
from Vienna describe the serious outbreak
among the Croatian peasantry at Sjernicak,
near Agram, the capital of Croatia and
SIavonia- Four thousand rebels, armed with
pitchforks and other farming implements,
have taken up fortified position. In a coll
lsion with gendarmes on Wednesday two
Hungarian officials were killed, together
with peasant woman, and several peas
ants were wounded. Troops have been
summoned to quel the disturbance. The
rioting is attributed to the fact that the
Hungarian authorities have been showing
inclination to deprive the Croatians of
their ancient privileges.

Letter from, Lord E,rrsr

LONDON, Sept. 24.-Lord Farrer has a
three-column letter in the Times this morn
ing on bimetaliism and the India mint He
says: In my opinion the ultimate solution
of the question will be found in the adop-
ton of the gold standard in India" Lord
farrer then proceeds to discuss the pro-
posals of the American commissioners and
the French government in which connec-
ton he says: There has been no official
statement of Senator Wolcott's PROPOSALS
but we may form a shrewd guess from an
article which appeared in the National Re-
view for August entitled Episodes of the
Month, and written by some one who an

negotiators. From this we gather that In

of 15lA to l. which in ali probability is the
only ratio that would satisfy France and
the United States This ratio womb ,,aar
that the present gold value of silver would

After pointing out that various temDorarv
palncs would probably ensue from carryinss
out the proposals, Lord Farrer sketches the

there IS every reason to believe in The
present circumstances that neither The

More GoId COMING.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.--La Touraine, OF
the French steamship line, which sails from
Havre on Saturday next, will bring to this
port 81 100000 in gold consigned to the Han
over National Bank of New York
W. Halls, jr., cashier of the bank, in re-
ply to questions said that the gold was inn
ported directly by the Hanover National
Bank on its own account, and was in ADJUST
ment of it's foreign business. In one sense.
he said, it was triangular operation. The
gold was taken from France because the ex-
change conditions between London ana
Paris made it more satisfactory to import
the gold from Paris than from London. The
Hanover National Bank has always been a
large purchaser of grain and cotton bills
as it has a great many Western and South
western correspondents.

PROTEST AGAINST SILVER.
Bankers Resolution Presented to the
Bank of England.


LONDON, Sept. 23.-The protest which the
London bankers drew up at their meeting
in the, clearing house yesterday against the
policy of the Bank of England in ANNOUNCE
ing its willingness to maintain one-tifth of
its bullion reserve in silver was presented
to the bank to-day. The resolution is ac-
companied by formal letter and the res
olution itself is in the name of the Clear
ing House Association, as, although all the
members were not represented at the meet
ing, majority of the membership was
represented, and unanimously adopted the
resolution, which is as follows
That this meeting entirely diSapprOye of
the Bank of England agreeing to exercise
the option permitted by the act of 1884 Of
holding one-fifth. or any other portion what
ever, of silver as a reserve against the cir
culation of the Bank of England notes: that
q copy of this resolution be sent to the
Bank OF England. the prime minister, the
of the exchequer."
An organized movement has begun to
induce other commercial bodies to pro-
test against the announcement of the gov
ernor OF the Bank of England. A high Of
ficial who was a participant in the negotfa-
tions between the United States bimetallic
commissioners and the British Cabinet said
to-day: Il fear the bankers will brighten
the members of the government into reced-
ing from their stand for bmetallism. They
have 10. gotten Il at Pal ament unanimous v
resolved measures to secure a stapIe par OF
exchange between gold and silver, and Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, the chancellor of the
eXchequer, pledged himself to do all in his
power to carry the resolution into effect
The English public has forgotten, also. that
ten OF the fourteen members of the agricul-
tural commission signed a report recon-
mending blmetallism as a palliative for the
agricultural depression in England The

VICTORY FOR PLATT.
Jacob Worth, BrOOkIyn's Republican
Leader, Meets with Defeat.


Leader, Meets with Defeat.
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Jacob Worth, for
years the recognized Republican leader in
Brooklyn, was defeated tonight in the
Kings county Republican convention. The
opposition, led by Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff City Works Commissioner Willis
and Walter B. Atterbury, supported by Sen
ator Platt, elected all the nominees for the
county officers. Although Worth was the
recognized champion of Seth Low in Brook
Ign, his defeat does not necessarily affect
Lows chances of securing the support of
the regular Kings county Republicans when
the city convention meets on Tuesday next
to select candidate for mayor of Greater
New York.
The issues at the convention tonight were
purely Worth and anti-Worth The conven-
ton was shorter, quieter and far less bitter
than was expected from the acrimonious
preliminaries which have stirred the Repub-
lican party for the past few weeks. The
result, too, was closer and the defeat of
Jacob Worth was by no means easily ac-
compished. The majority in the first
test over the nomination of sheriff was
only 1O,4O5, which IS not large when it is
remembered that 1922 of this came from
one ward alone, out of thirty-one voting.

ROUTED BY BRITISH.
MOhmands and ShinVvaris Driven
from Their Position.

SIMLA, Sept. 2S.-The expected attack
by General Files, with the brigades from
Camp Hawagai, on Bedmania Fass, held
by the Haddah Mullah, with a large force
of Mohmands and Shinwaris, took place
yesterday. The tribesmen made a strong
resistance. but after sharp fighting they
were finally driven out of every position.
The British now hold the heights, COM
handing the pass and Bemania village on
the other hand. The mountain guns first
bombarded the enemy, whose positions
were then stormed in capital style by the
Twentieth Punjab Infantry, supported by
a Maxim detachment 1t is a significant
fact that the Twentieth Punjab is partly
composed of Afridis.
The British continue to advance. 1t is
expected thai they will capture Jarobi, the
Haddah Mulah's village, tomorrow (F'ri-
day) The defeat of the Mullah, it is hoped,
viii have a great effect upon all the sur
rounding tribesmen, as he is the leading
spirit of mischief in the Mohmand country.
