Americau Securities abroad.

The sales OF American securities
have been, according to London ad-
vices, very large abroad of late. Ii
this state of things holds there will be
an increasing influx OF British gold in
to this market. This demonst rates
the faith abroad in the stability Of our
credit. There is another point OF
faith for which the people of not only
this but foreign countries have good
grounds for eredenee, and that is be-
lief in the efficacy OF Hostetter's

six-pounder and cleared a damned
shot.
I'VE had but two personal casual
ties, George H. Ellis (chief yeoman)
killed, and j. Burns (of the First cav
alry) wounded. The ship was struck
20 times by whole shot and many
times by pieces of bursting shell and
from small shot of machine guns. No
serious injury was done to the ship
and all repairs can be temporarily done
by the ships force, excepting to the
five-inch elevating gun. The smoke
stacks were hit in several places, rig
ging and flags were cut in many places.
The flag at the main was much cut by
shot and flying pieces of shell. The
eight-inch guns worked salts
factorily, some trouble and delay was
caused by the jamming of locks. The
turrets worked well.
The fve-inch battery gave great
trouble with the elevation gear. At the
end several were rendered useless for
battle. Two are bulged at the muzzle.
The ship should have new elevating
gear for five-inch guns as soon as
practicable. We fired 100 rounds of
eight-inch, 437 of five-inch, 1,200 of six
Founders and 200 of one FOUNDER am

BRIBED ILLINOIS LEGISLATORS.
Gas Trust Accused of Paying $780,
600 For Legislation.

Chicago, July 2S.-Judge ibbons Of
the circuit court today rendered a de-
cision in favor of the Chicago Gas
Trust and dismissing all the cases
against it.. Application had been made
for a receiver for the trust by eastern
bondholders on the ground that the
concern was being mismanaged.
Soon after Judge Gibbons had. rem
dered his decision the attorneys repre-
senting the bondholders filed an
amendment to the bill of complaint, in
which are made charges of corruption
in the Illinois legislature which passed
the consolidation act -Four of the COM
panies in the trust, the Peoples the
Equitable, the Chicago & Consumers,
are accused of apprOpriating and using
$3.50 600 toward securing the passage of
the bill. The amendment asks that the
officers of these corporations be re-
1uired to account for the money thus
spent. No attempt was made to inter-
fere with Judge Gibbons decree, the
amendment being filed solely for the
purpose of a proposed appeal to the
higher courts.

IDAHO INSANE ASYLUM.
Report of the Superintendent Re
fleets Credit on the State.
Francisco Examiner.

lSDeclal 10 Inc Herald.)
Boise, July 2S.-The report of the SUI
perintendent of the Idaho asylum for
the insane to Governor Steunenberg for
the quarter ending July 10, makes a
favorable showing, and reflects great
credit on the state administration.
The cost of the care and treatment
per patient per day was 4314 cents. This
covers the cost OF provisions, fuel,
clothing, bedding, new furniture as
needed, repairs TO buildings, medicines
and services of all those engaged in the
service of the asylum in any way. in
Guiding the amounts paid TO the direc-
tors, and this is 10 cents lower than the
lowest reported by the former admin
istration.
The amount of the appropriation for
the asylum for the two years ending
January, 1899, is $4,000. This estimate
was made on the basis of the actual
expenditure of the two preceding years
under the Republican administration
that far exceeded their appropriati ton.
and came out in debt The present ad-
ministration has conducted the affairs
OF the institution on a liberal plan. and
Will, from present appearances, turn
back into the state treasury in the
neighborhood of $4,000 at the close of
the present year. Taking the quarters
that represent the highest and lowest
expenditure. that of July Is. Sc. 26S. So.
and Jan. 10, $9,33095, total, SIS. 594. 80.
as the expenses of the last two quar-
tiers of this year, the management
would have $11,753.24 to turn back into
the state treasury, as the institution
now has $27,947.74 of an unexpended
balance on hand. Taking the two quar-
tiers representing the highest expendi-
ture for the year, as that of the two
last quarters of this year, $17,970.17. the
board viii have over $4,000 to return to
the state treasurer. This reduction in
the expenditure and economy in adj
ministering the affairs OF the institu
ton is the more noteworthy from the
fact that the number of patients dur
ing 1885, under the former admins
tration, when they far exceeded their
was 15S. while this year
the number of patients. as reported by
the superintendent, is 1874
