CHAPTER XIV

Eastlake was busy and did not go out
to the Dumaresq's for few days after
the water picnic He went to the grea i
gathering that assembled near the town to
see the athletic sports, however, and
there, in the midst of a throng of car
riages outside the ring, he distinguished
Mr.. Dumaresq's family and friends. In
the course of the afternoon he made his
way to their carriage and spoke to Mrs.
Dumaresq He thought she looked I'M
easy and perturbed.
flames is somewhere about the course
with the children" she said. Michele
had a headache and did not come"
Michele did not come! Eastlake turn
ed and looked at Mrs. DumaresQ with I'M
feigned amazement. Michele staying
away from the great festive event of the
season! She had been wild about Har-
olds chance of the prize for the high
lump and the one-mile race, week be-
fore! Eastlakes own pleasure in the
afternoon was marred. He had been vex-
ed with Michele certainly; but he was
quite ready to forgive her on the slight
est sign of penitence.
1t was hard upon him to see Anne and
Lawrence so evidently absorbed in one
another. He had never before known
Anne to manifest the slightest preference
for one man above another; and even
now she was gentle and kind and courte
Gus to every one who spoke to her and
perfectly quiet and self-restrained in her
intercourse with Lawrence. But she paid
such close attention to his remarks, and
the color rose in her fair face when he
drew near in such way that she betray-
ed to observant eyes the fact of her inter
est in him. He, on his side, was much
less guarded than was she, and devoted
himself to her with tender assiduity.
Eastlake dined in town, but went out
to Ramleh next day. Michele was not
at an afternoon party, where he hoped to
meet her; so at last he called at Mrs. Du-
mareso's. The house looked deserted.
The children were out; Mrs. Dumaresq
and Miss Carteret had gone to see

care of the little howaga, who was i'll

The New Tariff Bill.

The Ways and Means Committee is
progressing slowly with it's new tariff
bill. Its members recognize the i'm
portance of proceeding with great care
in this duty, which is the carrying out
of the policy promised by the Republi-
can party in the late campaign. De-
tails of the work have not been made
public and the desire of the committee
is that the provisions of the measure
shall not be made public until the en-
tire work is completed. This may not
happen until the meeting Of the next
Congress. We are now within two
weeks of the end of the present Con-
gress and much yet remains to be done
with the bill AS the measure is not
to be considered by Congress until the
special session is held it may be de-
cided to withhold it's publication until
then. Certainly nothing definite will
be given to the public at present.
There is good reason to believe, how
ever, that the agricultural features Of
the new law will be very satisfactory
to the farmers. OF course it cannot be
expected that the extreme demands of
the l-Growers Association for u
cents per pound on first and second
class woods, with 3 cents added for
skirted woods, can be accepted by the
committee, but wool will receive ample
protection. A large measure of the
agricultural portion of the bill has been
practically completed. Many of the
Mckinley law rates on articles Of agri-
culture have been adopted. The rates
on cattle have been somewhat modi-
fed so that the duty on cattle above 1
year old is So per head and % per cent.
ad valorem On cattle valued at more
than $25 per head. This rate on cattle
is not as high as the Mckinley rate,
which was $40 per head on cattle more
than l year old, but it is believed that
with the ad yalorem figure on the more
valuable grades it will be sufficient to
include the class of cattle which come
into competition with American stock,
especially that coming from Mexico,
from whence enormous importations
are made under the Wilson law. The
Mckinley rates of 80 cents per bushel
have been restored on barley and also
the Mckinley law rates on fruits, ber-
ries, breadstuffs, rice, dairy products,
potatoes, flaxseed, meats, meat prod
ucts, eggs, poultry, hay and vegetables.

renee Of the civilized and commercial
nations Of the world, has been present
ed. I was present at brilliant COM
pany in London, and spoke of this con-
versation with Mr.. Balfour. A gentle
man, member of the cabinet Of the
present government, there being two
other members of the cabinet present,
said:
Mr.. Hoar, it is no secret that Mr..
Balfours opinion on this matter is the
opinion of the majority of Her Majes-
tvs Government This statement,
from so distinguished man as Sena-
tor Hoar, is important as showing the
strong sentiment in favor Of interna-
tional bimetallism which now exists,
even in the British Government.

FRAUDS ON ELECTION.

MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.

Fraud in the South.

Special Washington CORE spondence:
Congressman George Washington
Murray, of South Carolina. while he
concluded it unwise to disturb the pro-
gress of the electoral count by chal-
longing the vote of South Carolina, has
done the country service by calling
attention to the facts relative to the
suppression of the colOred vote in the
South. The methods Of accomplishing
this have been studied by the Southern
Democrats until the art OF SURPRISING
the Republican vote has reached state
Of high perfection.
In Mr.. MurTay's State, South Carroll
na, the population has increased 63 per
cent. in the last twenty years, and yet
the vote of 1896 was 81 per cent. less
than it was in 1876. In Georgia there
has been a gain Of So per cent. in pop
ulation and loss of 10 per cent. in
votes. Florida has, in the past twenty
years, more than doubled her popula-
ton, yet her vote in 1896 was less than
1876, and the Republican element has
been so DISTINGUISHED there that for
years that party has not even nomlna-
ted candidates for Congress or Presi-
Dental electors. This course might as
well have been followed in MISSISSIPPI
pi, for the Republican element has becn
so completely disfranchised that the
Republican party has cast only from
to 10 per cent. of the vote Of the State
in national elections Of late, although it
would undoubtedly poll majority Of
the votes if it's voters were permitted
to exercise their franchise and their
votes properly counted. Mississippi
gained So per cent. in population from
1870 to 1890, yet she lost 81 per cent.
of her vote from 1876 to 1896. Louis
lana, where the colored vote has been
suppressed by various processes, from
murder down, gained So per cent. in
population from 1870 to 1890, yet her
vote in 1896 was A, TIL less than it was
in 1876.
In the seven extreme Southern States,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louis
lana, the population in 1890 was $780,
4G5 greater than in 1870, yet the vote Of
1896 was 195,O03 less than in 1876.
George Washington Murray is entitled
to the respect and thanks of every pa
triotic citizen, irrespective Of race, col
or or previous condition Of servitude,
for calling attention to these facts.

International Bimeta1lism.

The friends of international bimetal-
lism are receiving good reports from
abroad in connection with Senator VOL
colts visit. He has obtained consider
able encouragement on the continent,
as he did also in England.
1t is not generally supposed that
there is any particular element in En-
gland in favor of interna tiOnal bimet-
allism, but the following remarks of
Senator Hoar, regarding information
gathered while on visit last summer
to England, shows that the bimetallic
party in England is strong. Senator
Hoar said:
Il had the opportunity Of full con-
versation with Mr.. Balfour, the present
leader of the House of Commons. His
opinions are known. In every way in
which it can be made known his opin-
ion in favor Of the establishment Of in
ternational bimetalHsm by the concur

A Larger Use of Silver.

A London letter to that stanch Re-
publican paper, the New York Tribune,
discussing the probable attitude Of the
European nations toward Senator VOL
colt, who has gone abroad, at Major
McKinley's suggestion, to discuss inter-
national bimetallism, says that if the
United States is contented to discuss
larger use of silver as subsidiary coin
age. with the gold standard, persons
high in authority in financial and polit-
zeal circles in England are willing to
make some concessions. The Indian
famine, Mr.. Ford says, makes Senator
Wolcotts mission very timely, since 1t
has caused a great demand for cur
rency, has put up the rates of exchange,
and is sending out of the country every
surplus crop which can be spared. This
makes constant drain Hpon London,
and already has caused an export move
ment of gold. The amount Of gold
shipped is not yet large, but with the
continuance of the monetary stringency
in India, and with exchange so high
that gold can be proftably exported in

that the movement will receive addi-
tional impulse, and will last for sew
eral months. The maintenance Of
high discount rate by the Bank of Eng
land under the existing condition of the
money market, and it's immense bank
reserves, is said to be due to appre-
hension Of this.
Under these circumstances, it is said
that many practical fnanciers believe
that reopening of the Indian minis and
larger use of silver in bank reserves
would relieve the situa ton. Mr.. Ford
is Informed that in some informal con-
ferences among the financial authori-
ties Of the British Government, the Of
ficials of the Bank of England and
other prominent bankers, three conces-
sions on the silver question have been
suggested as possible in any confer
ences with Senator Wolcott, Or any
negotiations with the American Gov
eminent. These are: First, the speedy
reopening of the Indian minis for the
coinage of silver; second, the coinage
outright of 100000 worth Of silver in
England; third, an increase Of silver de-
posits in the Bank Of England to the
extent Of 25 per cent of the reserve

suggestion to the mothers, instructors and
citizens of America that lessons of peace

women of America may be taught the
method for making hygienic homes and
for becoming intelligent mothers; promise
to use influence to encourage legislation in
the various States and territories to Sc
cure a kindergarten department in the
public schools; declare it to be their pur-
pose to exclude from their homes those
papers which do not educate or inspire to
all pictures and displays which tend to
degrade men and women or corrupt or
depraye the minds of the young, and all
advertisements which offend decency; Pc
tition Congress to raise the age of pro-
lection for girls in the District of Column

"our father and mother God, in whose
nurture and admonition our children must
be brought up If life is ever to be worth
living" express appreciation for the re-
ception accorded to the congress by Mrs.
Cleveland, "who stands before the coun-
try as the gracious and beautiful IDEAL
of motherhood" They say that she in
her life has exemplifed the principles for
which this congress stands.
Mrs Annie Besant, the theosophist,
will remain in this country six months,
during which time she will visit all the
larger cities. Her lectures will be de-
voted to the exposition of theesophy, and
some of her experiences in her journey
through India, from which country she
is now returning, will be told.

Senators Trying to Find Out Where They
Are at on the Tariff.
WASHINGTON, May .-.Immediately
after the adjournment of the senate, the
Republican senators went into caucus.
Chairman Allison said the caucus was
called upon the request of several SEN
ators and some of those who signed the
call stated that they wanted to know
something about the plan of procedure
for the consideration of the tariff bill.
Senator Aldrich who reported the bill,
took the floor, but had not proceeded
far. when some one asked him for an eX
planation of the schedule. Mr.. Aldrich
went into quite an elaborate explana
ton of the schedule, presenting the
figures in the present law, the Dingley
bill and the senate amendment. HI
said the senate amendments We're less
advantageous to the sugar refiners than
the Dingley bill or the present law.

importers are supposed to have done as
well. The grocer tried to cover with
the result that the demand for imme-
date shipment raised prices in Japan
re cents. Some of the grocers rather
than stand this, decided to countermand
their orders and take their chances in
securing modification of the tariff bill.
The delegation sent to Washington was
appointed ata conference III Chicago
last week, and is headed by +. A. Han
cock of Dubuque. They will ask that
the tariff bill be amended to provide for
a rebate of the tax on all tea imported to
fill orders taken before the senate bill
was reported.

NO DEMAND FOR MONEY.

Banks of New York show Constantly In
creasing Deposits.
NEW YORK, May 25.-The Tribune
says: Money lies in abundance at this
center, but there is no demand for it;
at least the demand is too small to have
an appreciable influence upon bank
holdings and the constantly increasing
deposits and stagnation i'll loans have
led bankers to discuss the question at
further bank consolidation on lines sim
liar to those entered upon by the Third
National bank and the National City
bank. Under existing conditions many
banks serve only as storehouses fol
money without enough loans to make
the business profitable.

Supreme Court Hands Down &
Decision of Importance to
Office Holders.
Appointed For Four Years, But

to Remove
Interstate Commission Cannot lie
gally Fix Railroad Rates in
Advance.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-In the United
States supreme court Justice Peckham
handed down the opinion of the court In
the case of l.. f. Parsons, late district
attorney for the Northern district OF
Alabama, appealed from the court OF
claims. The decision was adverse to
Parsons claim that he was entitled
under section 759 of the revised statutes
to hold his Office for four years notwlth-
standing the presidents order Of re-
mOval Justice Peckham said that
while the appointment was for fou1
years it might be terminated earlier at
the discretion of the president. The
Judgment of the court of claims was
affirmed.
The determination of this case has
been looked forward to with interest
because of it's possible effect upon the
removal of office holders incident to the
change of administration.
Parsons was removed from the Office
of United States district attorney in Al
ALBANIA in 1898, having been appointed
in 1890. He wrote a letter to the presi-
dent refusing to surrender the place on
the ground that as he had been appointed
for term of four years the president
had no right to remove him before the
expiration of that time. He has fought
the case through the various federal
courts ON this theory, losing in the lower
courts as he has now in the supreme
court. Parsons has, however, not been
in possession of the Office during the
contest. On the day that he was re-
moved Emmett O'Neil was appointed to
succeed him, and to him Parsons sur
rendered the Office after an order was
issued to him by the circuit court to dc
so. He prosecuted the case on another
basis from that time.
Interstate Commerce Cases.
The court also decided two cases tc
the effect that the United States inter
state commerce commission has nc
power to prescribe rates on railroads
which may control in the future. The
cases were those of the Commission VS.
the Cincinnati and New Orleans Rail
road company, and the Florida ant
Western company. The decision OF the
court is construed to mean that the in
terstate commerce commission has no
power to pass upon rates before they arr
put into effect.

NORTHWESTERN CROPS.
Reports Received All Indicate Excellent
General Condition.

ST. PAUL, May 25.-Crop conditions
continue favorable throughout the
Northwest. Reports show that wheat
is coming up nicely and that it looks
Well The only condition that is in the
least unfavorable is lack OF rain in sec
tions and even that is not serious. The
reports agree that the ground is full of
moisture but i'll places the ground is
drying near the surface and the grain
that was sown late would do better with
rain There is no doubt, however, that
the last few days have changed even
this condition. Nearly all the reports
were made before the recent rains.
There is practical unanimity that moth
ing but rain was needed to give almost
perfect conditions and that seems to
have been supplied
