London. Aug. 25.-The special dis
matches to the Times and other Lon
don papers all remark the boundless
character of the enthusiasm, quite I'M
usual among the Russian people,
which has been evoked by NJ. Faure's
visit, in strong contrast to the recep-
ton rendered Emperor william.
Even the heavy rain have not pre-
vented the immense crowds from
turning out to welcome the guest OF
Russia.
st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Daily News says that Emperor Nicho-
las and the Empress were present at
last nights dinner at the French en-
bassy.
The menu card was artistically dec
grated with allegorical designs by
Clairin. The empress attached hers
to the handle of her fan to keep as a
souvenir. She has quite lost her girl
ish look and is now a stately woman
of magnificent presence. She wishes
to attend the luncheon to be given on
board the French warship Potsnau.
The official dispatch from st. Peters
burg makes no mention of the pres
ence of the Gar and Czarina at the
embassy dinner, but says that NJ
Faure had Baron Mohrenheim on his
right and the Countess of Monticello
on his left. Covers were laid for for
ty-five. NJ. HanatauX and NJ. Mura'
vieff were present
NJ. Faure's bed is the one which has
been used successfully by Emperor
Joseph of Austria-Hungary and EN-
peror William. All the correspondents
comments upon the fact that there
was no mention of the word, al
lance" in the toasts at the banquet
in the Peterhoff. Friendship" is
still the keynote of all the official ut
terances and of the addresses pre-,
scented to NJ. Faure. The Paris cores
pondents describe the French press
and people as delighted with the
splendid reception rendered to NJ
Faure, but are unable to conceal theiI
disappointment at their being no seal,
ing of the hoped-fOr alliance.

Claussen, the railroad and warehouse
commission has adopted an amend
ment to the rules for grading No. 2
northern and No. 3 wheat, to be in
force and effect during the present
crop year ending August 81, 1898.
The amendment resorted to does not
affect in any way the contract on
"Grades No. hard and No. 1 north
ern," nor does it change the text Of
the present rules for No. 2 northern
and No. wheat, but simply supple
ments the rules for the two latter
grades by providing for the classlfi-
cation of wheat of hard fiinty char
acter, possessing superior milling mer-

BANK OF ENGLAND GOVERNOR
SAYS HE SEES No REASON
WHY IT SHOULD,
Talks On Railroad Securities, The
Wheat Crop And A Little Of al
most Everything And After
All Manages To Fill Con-
siderable Space.

New York, Aug. pa dispatch to
tn the World from London, says:
Il do not anticipate any heavy ship
ments of gold from England to the
United States this autumn" said
Hugh Smith, governor of the bank of
England to the World reporter. There
may be some from the continent
from France chiefly, but as far as
England is concerned, l see no reason
at present TO believe we shall be send
ing away any considerable quantity
of gold.
"We have a fair harvest here" he
continues, mot enough of course for
our wants, but more abundant than
the average. Besides that it is prob
able the buying back of American Sc
curities by the United States will
tend to equalize matters, redressing
whatever balance there might be.
II cannot see any tangible ground
at present for believing exceptional
shipments are going. American eX-
change remains very firm for one
thing and the American bankers have
seen on the matter do not consider
anything likely to happen to cause
such shipments from England.
There has recently been a substan-
tial improvement in the market for
| American securities, due almost en-
tirely to American buying"
HAS not the English investor re-
covered confidence in American Sc
curitiesT was asked.
mo, the difficulty of the Baltimore
and Ohio company has greatly tended
to check any inclination there might
have been of the kind That was con-
sidered among the soundest of Amer
lean securities and the trouble in con-
nection with it has had bad effect"
.sThen l may take it that banking
\ opinion here is that American secur-
titles are still uncertain and unreli-
BILE investmentsP
s.Yes. there is a feeling that Ameri-
can finance is still in an unsettled con-
dition. There has been no such re-
storation of confidence as would be
calculated to make any difference in
the impression that has prevailed for
some time and as to your original
question, my view on the whole, is
that there is no ground at present for
expecting any substantial movement
of gold to America from England"
but will there not be large pay
ments come due for wheat and Will
| not this enhance its value?"
Eyes, but mainly from the contln-
ent. not from England where the
harvest has been almost a bountiful
one and to a large extent is saved al
ready"
Francis Barring, manager OF the
Barring firm, took similar view.

INDIRECT ACCUSATION.
President Erasuriz as Good as Ac-
cused of Conspiracy.


cused of Conspiracy.
New York, Aug. pa dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso says:
A sensation has been caused
throughout Chile by a letter publish
ed in a leading radical newspaper in
Santiago which it is believed was
written by Jose Enrique Tocornat. The
letter in question is one explaining
Senior Torcornat's reason for abandon
ing the clericals to join the Liberals.
1t warns the clericals to cease the at
tacks on Senior Tocornat, otherwise he
will make disclosures to prove that
during the last presidential campaign
revolutionary plot was afoot to
make Erasuriz president of Chile.
1t is further charged in the letter
that the army was on the side of the
conspirators against Chile and that if
Erasuriz had not been elected presi-
dent and his relatives placed in the
chamber of deputies, but the conspir'
ators would have Immediately given
word to proceed with the revolution.
Indirectly President Erasuriz is ac-
cused in the letter, but his defenders
are staunch in their support.

sALvADoR's TROUBLES.
Financial Depression Causes

Financial Depression Causes the
Adoption of the Gold Standard.
New York, Aug. pa dispatch to
the Herald from Panama says:
The Herald's correspondent in San
Salvador, says that that country has
been forced by the slump in silver. to
adopt a gold standard.
Owing to the financial straits in
which Salvador found herself, the de-
preston in commerce and the appar-
emily hopeless future, President RAJ
fael Gutirrez convoked an eXtraordin-
airy session of Congress to consider the
monetary crisis. At the time he sent
to Congress message urging the
necessity of speedy change in the
currency system.
There was some opposition in Con-
gress to a gold standard and the fight
was waged until yesterday when the
bill passed. The president is also au-
thorized to negotiate a foreign loan
for $2,500,000.
The new loan will go into effect
within two months.
After it becomes operative all Gus
toms will be payable only in gold.
Salvador's present plight is due to
the slump in silver which threw the
country into condition more Sc
rious than had ever before existed.
The rate of exchange on the United
States rose steadily until today 1t
reached 200 per cent.

WE ARE ONE PEOPLE.

Buffalo, n. Y, Aug. 25.-Charles w.
Buckley, junior vice commander-in-
chief, said in his report:
"Tbe Federal soldiers residing In
the southern department of the
Grand Army of the Republic profound
ly appreciate the generous and liberal
spirit which has pervaded the annual
session of the National encampments
for seven years past, and which has
resulted in the election of comrade
from one of these Departments as a
general officer of our order. This ac-
ton is the more gratifying, because it
is known that our number is small as
compared with the great departments
of the loyal states of the north. The
union of our fathers remains stronger
than ever, and those who fought to
destroy it would sooner cast their lot,
and that of their children, in with it,
than with any other government on
the face of the globe. Time has
softened our griefs, healed our sor-
rows, and obliterated sectionalism.
We are one people in spirit and in
fact"

Persons Bearing Arms Against the

Persons Bearing Arms Against the
United States not Eligible.
Buffalo, n. Y, Apg. 25.-Judge Adj
vocate General Clark, recommended
the following amendment to the
rules.
mo person shall be eligible TO men,
bership who has at anytime borne
arms against the United States, ex-
cept such as belonged to the southern
militia, at the outbreak of the war,
but never took the oath of allegiance
to the Confederate states, and after
wards rendered faithful service as
Union soldiers; and except those also,
those who, living in the south, enter
ed the Confederate service under dur
ess but escaped therefrom as soon as
possible and enlisted in the Union ar
my. and received therefrom an honor
able discharge.
II think the time has come when
such an amendment can be adopted
with entire safety and when it will be
an honor to our patriotic association
to reward, by admission to it, those
men who espoused the Union cause
under greater difficulties than these
which environed us and whose fealty
was never questioned from the mo-
ment they donned the blue"
He also recommended the adoption:
"Resolved-That the officers of the
several departments are advised to
endeavo, to secure the enactment OF
laws, by the states and territories
within their jurisdiction to prevent
the use of Grand Army insignia fol-
advertising or other business purposes
as we'll as to prevent imposture in so
