In the Audience Room.

'In moment we are at the door of the
audience chamber. The room is long,
down the center is a sort of bank upon
which are placed magnificent hubble-bub-
bles which are being smoked by the
Sultan and his suite On one side the
Sultan is seated on the floor leanirg ON

Their along and on both sides are other
Arabs, presumably high officials. The
Sultan looks to be about 30 years of age
and it is difficult to determine just how
strong he is. We doff our helmets and
advance into the room. The Sultan
arises. steps a foot or two forwards and
says salaam. We reply salaam and

our use The interview lasted about an
hour and was amusing. His highness
was extremely interested in the war in
Egypt and the relations between Eng
land and the Khedive. 1t was difficult
to be entirely frank with him on ac-
count of his very limited political and
geographical information, but we did our
best and guessed freely. In answer to
his query we told him the Khedive and
the English were good friends. He then
asked u.s. Suppose the Khedive' should
tell the English to leave Egypt, what
would they say?' This was a poser.
We replied that probably they would
request repayment of the money lent to
the Khediye. Suppose he continues, the
Russians or the French should repay this
money, would the English then go" We

Ell PAs0 PEOPLE HOMELESS.
Fully Two Thousand We're Rem
dered Destitute BY Flood

Ell Paso, Tex, May 31.-There
are nc new developments in the
food situation to-day. The river
is falling at this point, and all
along the line as high up as Albu-
querque, N. NJ, but people in the
flooded district continue to move
out, and the eastern end of San
Antonio street, with its handsome
brick residel C S, is deserted.
News reached the city this even
ing Of a heavy rIse at Albuquer-
que, but that rise cannot reach Ell
Paso before tomorrow night,
when it will be too late to do
damage. Houses in the flooded
districts are still falling. The
Board of Health is colonizing all
the destitute flood sufferers at Old
Fort Bliss.
A mass. meeting IF the citizens
of FL Paso was he'd yesterday to
organize for the relief ofe 1 800
destitute people, whose homes
were swept away by the flood.
Committees were appointed to
work with the board of health in
taking care of the people, and to
solicit the railroads to unite in
efforts 70 shut the flood waters
out.
Fully $500 people have been
driven from their homes in this
city and East El Paso, and 1000
of that number are in destitute
circumstances. 1t is impossible
at present to estimate the dam
age done by the food, but it is
grear, especially severe because
a very large percentage Of the
sufferers are poor laborers.
The river has changed its
course considerably, and those
who for years have watched the
antics of the erratic Rio Grande
say that when the food recedes
it will be discovered that the
river has shifted its course.

His Thirst For knowledge

Perry, Oklahoma, May 81
Clinton Fox, a 14-year-old boy,
living near Augusta, was lately
impressed with a novel educational
idea. His mother was very poor
and the boy wanted an education.
He had read that boys were edu-
Gated at the reform schools. Sc
he stole a watch and then con-
fessed in open court.
He said that he had committed
the theft SO that, he could be sent
to a reform school, where he could
get good clothing, good books,
and an education. He had often
heard of the Boston Reform School
and wanted to he sent there.

OFFER o L N
Manhattan Bank Burglars Are
Heard From Again.

New York, May 3O.-Nineteer
years ago the country vas startled
by the report of the biggest bank
burglary known in the history OF
the world. 1t occurred Sunday,
October 81, 1878. The Man.
haitian Savings Institution of this
city was robbed of securities val
ued at 50, TAI, 700 and $11. 600 in
cash.
With the exception of a few OF
the bonds offered for sale sons
time ago, none of the securities
has been recovered. 1t was be.
lieved that they had been buried
or destroyed.
That the securities are still in
existence is not known here. A
short time ago negotiations were
opened between men said to rep.
resent the burglars and President
Joseph Bird, of the Manhattan
Savings Institution, for their re-
turn.
The burglars have made a de-
mand for $50, 900, and no ques
tons to be asked, with the under
standing that the securities are to
be handed over in good shape ant
that Immediately upon their de.
livery the money shall be paid in
cash. President Bird, who at the
time of the robbery was paying
teller of the Manhattan Savings
Institution, said to-day that $780,
900 had been asked for the return
of the bonds, and although the
bank would like to get them back,
they would not pay that amount.
Continuing, Nh. Bird said:
"Many Of the securities are
worthless to-day, | should say,
since the government came to oul
assistance some time ago, and by
an act of Congress authorized the
Secretary Of the Treasury to re'
issue duplicates in place of the
stolen United States bonds.
s'There was a number of other
bonds issued by cities and corpor-
atoms, however. Some of these
are due soon, and of course We
would like to have the originals,
as it would make it easier for US
to collect the moneys involved.
Il refer particularly to the
Yonkers City z per cent, coupon
bonds. There were $118, OOC
Yonkers bonds stolen and out OF
that amount we have received
1913 900, which leaves $50, OO(
due"
Mr.. Bird stated that he believ-
ed the offer to be made in gooc
faith, and the case has beer
placed in the hands of the banks
counsel. Those who participated
in or we're connected with the
robbery were Jimmy Hope, Johr
Hope, Patrick Shevelin, the
Waterman of the bank; William
Kelly, Peter Emerson, alias
Banjo Pete; John Nugeut, I
policeman; Eddie Golding, alias
Eddie" Goodie; John Tracy,
and Johnny Dobbs. Of these
aad John Hope are living
in this city. The others are al.
either dead or in prison.

ENGLAND'S APTITUDE
FOrerunner of the Reinstate
 ment of Silver.

In consenting to maintain onc-iiitb of its reserve in silver unier certain conditions, the Bank of England un- que>,ionably recognizes that silver has not been displaced as redemption money, and that such a possibility is too remote to be considered. Whether the proposition Of the bank natures or not, the offer to do SO shows that the English mind analyses the trend of events ard foresces the rein. tate- nent of silver as basic money of the world. Not only is a great deal of foresight manifested by tLe manage ment of that financial ineiitution, in making a suggestion preliminary te the recognition of silyer ss safe enough metal for the redemption of the obligations oI the largest bank in the world, but characteristic British selfshness threads the idea from its inception,
 Regarding tbis the Mining World sptly observes that the development of the mineral resources Of British Columbia indicates to John Bull his prospective future as a producer of silver ores, and it can be ssid to hie credit tha, he never throttles the ln- dustrial llfe that springs up full Of promise in any portion of his wide domains. Unlike the shoIt-sighted, silly, brutal policy of the American republic, Great Britain fosters the development Of its resources, and will find bimetGllic inspiration in the min- ersl fields Of the north. When 1t be- comes the chief producer of the white metal, silver will again take its place beside the now triumphant gold, and the single-.tandsrd advocates of America will again zee where they have been outeeneraled by the mother country. Bime!a'lism is coming. but the cream of the prosperity 1t will bring to the world will be skim med from the bowl of industry by the hun. gry tongue of the British lion.
