1t is pertinent to note that the remark.
able expansion in the aggregate of bust
ness payments comes in spite of a material
decline in prices during the past seven
years, so great that payments of ST.. 900, 600
would cover about as much business as
payments of $1O0,O0OOOO in 1892
It is not strange that European ex-
changes are disturbed and alarmed and
a rise in sterling. even when gold is be-
ing shipped this way, is one of the inter
esting features. 1t is commonly ascribed
to recent sales of stocks on European ac-
count, but it would take 100000 shares at
ordinary prices to cover one months mer-
chandise balance. Europe is not buying
enough to cover its accumlating excess of
merchandise of exports over imports.
The Decline in Wheat.

sixteenth in cotton. The government es-

JEWELS HIS SPECIALITY.
Exploits of n Remarkable Thief
Caught in England.

London Letter In New York Sun
A remarkable criminal was up for SEN
tence at the criminal session here this
week. He is the expert thief who stole the
Dowager Duchess of Sutherland's jewel
case with $4,000 worth of jewelry in 1t
from railroad carriage last autumn. Just
how many years he will be restrained from
mis- faVorite pursuit of swift-hngered crime
on the biggest scale ii is impossible to say,
as the following brief scene between judge
and prisoner will show. He had been
found guilty and a threat had been made
of a life sentence II he did not confess
where the spoil was concealed.
On the judges asking what had become
Of the jewelry he declared that no pros
pect of reduction of sentence would in
duce him to tell where the rest of the
jewelry was. II would not make any DIFF
ference II he had ffty-five years
1T will not make any difference" he
exclaimed, when pressed again to con-
fess, IF have life--not bit"
The judge finally postponed sentence TO
give the prisoner chance to think the
matter over That the next month viii
that on all his police court appearances
leading up to the committal for trial he
turned up smiling and laughed boisterousIy
AZ the police evidence, and that, finally,
when the woman he was infatuated with
appeared to tell the whole story against
him and describe the jewels she wore, he
said he could not for his loves sake con-
tradict her. In fact, afterward from Hol-
loway prison he sent a message that If she
would only come up and kiss him he
would be the happiest man on earth. And
YET the police say he Is the most expert
jewel thief In Europe.

nth some remarks of Mr.. Hawley, Repub-
,tcsn. of Texas, printed in the Record this
,,ornine but which Mr. Burton claimed
had not been delivered on the floor.
The remarks. Mr.. Burton said, contained
;rsiruations of too much interest upon the
mart of the committee and himself in
,rovisjonal appropriation of $2SO,OOO in the
r,,,er and barbor bill for a channel between
tho Galveston jetties and Texas City. He
renudiated every such insinuation.
The committee had thought this appro-
nriation would be more useful than the S.
oooOO expended at Galveston harbor for
tho benefit of a single corporation. He
doubted now the expediency of the action
of the House in striking out the appropria-
ton. The river and harbor bill was, he
said like Caesars wife-above reproach.
Remarks Were Stricken Out.
He moved that the remarks be stricken
from the Record. Mr.. Hawley said his
printed remarks had been, in effect deliv-

Immigration Law in Danger.
Mr.. Daniel asserted that the ratification
of the treaty would nullify our immigra-
ton laws, would admit TO this country as
citizens under the constitution inhabitants
of the Philippine Islands, and put the peo-
pie and products of the islands in direct
and unrestricted competition with our own
goods and Workingmen.
After quoting at great length from au-
thorities in support of his contention, MIR.
Daniel urged the Senate not to deceive
Itself or attempt to deceive the American
people about the treaty Its ratification,
he declared meant the utter destruction
of all tariff laws between us and the Fit
pinos; the destruction of all immigration
laws relating to the United States and the
Philippines, and accorded TO the Asatics,
Negritos Malays and other inha bitants of
the islands the right to come into tho
labor markets of the United States on ex-
actly the same footing and under the same
protection as those enjoyed by American
workingmen.

Failures in January were smaller than in
any previous month, except August, 1888,

is smaller than in any other month of
which records exist.
In January there were but Sc cents per
$1,000 clearing house payments, and the
smallest in any previous month had been
about $1,OS per $1,000.
The 6efaulted liabilities were S7,71. s97

Cotton Goods Strong.

A very strong market for cotton goods
has prevailed and prevents raw cotton
from declining The advance in goods has
been unusual and has been sustained by
heavy buying, especially of print cloths
and kindred products. The prospect is
that the outgo will place dealers and
manufacturers in stronger position than
they have held for years, with smaller
stocks of goods unsold
A better tone appears in the wooden
goods market also, with some important
grades which We're opened at great re-
ductiOn in prices recently advanced. which
stimulated the demand for all grades.
Sales of wool have been fairly large. 80.

with the Iron Industry.
The iron industry is advancing prices of
products. rather than of materials Pig
has remained without change this week,
anticipating that six or seven furnaces
will be put into blast as soon as possible.
The demand is strong, but not apparently
urgent a the chief markets Eastern
bars and plates have advanced, with very
heavy demand, and cut nails have been
hosted by the association of makers. The
rush of orders for the future does not
cease and the works are generally COW
cred for months ahead. with orders for
ships, steel cars and for exports.
In the minor metals the speculative fever
at London hes caused considerable ad-
vance, and the tin plate combination has
advanced prices 25 cents. As yet the
prices of products do not seem to disturb
the foreign demand, which is yet strong,
but in all the minor metals the London
market is singularly uncertain.
Failures for the week have been 24 in
the United States, against 3S5 last year,
and % in Canada. against 80 last year.

Will Investigate Charges.

Chicago, Sept. Ga special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
Instructions We're sent today by Third
Assistant Secretary of State Cridler to
Consul Hughes at Coberg, Germany, to
make an official investigation of the al
legations made by Charles T.. Bentheim
that Alvin Florscultz, vice deputy con
sui at the same point, transmitted French
using official paper and official envelopes
of the American consular service. This
action was taken by the action of Score
tary Hay after that officer had read the
remarkable story told by Bentheim in
atlanta. The general disposition at the
state department is to disbclieye Ben
theim's charges, but it is said that now
that they have been given publicity it is
necessary to take official notice of them.
Under the Instructions sent to Mr..
Hughes he will call upon his subordinate
for an official explanation of Bentheim's
allegations and make. in addition, a thor
ough Investigation SO as to determine
whether or not there is the slightest
foundation for the charges which have
been made. Florscultz has an excellent
record but hould it develop that he has
improperly used his position and the IN
sular papers of this government in be-
half of Germany or any other govern
ment he will be Immediately removed and
proper representations made to the
French government.
