St. Petersburg, it is safe to assume II
has reference to the present unsettled
condition of European politics. The
appearance of the United States as
world-power is primarily responsible
for this disturbance, and there are re-
peated signs of latent friction between
Germany and the United States, the
latest being Admiral Dewey's alleged
/ warlike statements, which give EURO
pean statesmen cause for uneaslneSs,
and are regarded as the motive Tor
Emperor Williams overtures for
rapprochement with France. France is
still smarting under the humiliation or
the Fashoda affair and is inclined to
meet Emperor William, if once con-
WINGED that the Russian alliance mas
no real value. The primary object OF
M. Delcasse, therefore, is to get pubic
evidence that the alliance holds good,
by persuading the Gar TO visit the
Paris exhibition of 1900, and also by
personal contact with the Russian
court and statesmen, to ascertain to
what extent the alliance may be re-
lied on.
The visit of Herr Fischer, the special
agent of the Orange free state to Pre-
toria, is regarded hopefully. His in
fluence is expected to lead President
Kruger to accept the proposal of the
British Secretary of State for the col
onies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, for a
Joint inquiry into the effect the fran
chise bill will have upon the Outland-
ers. He was the spokesman OF the
Dutch party when the recent conees-
sions were made by President Kruger.
THE CONDITION OF INDIA
continues serious Except in Bengal,
practically no rain has fallen in west
ern or southern India for nearly forty
days. The Bombay government is al
ready considering means to cope with
the famine which will be severe un-
less rain soon comes. A famine would
seriously interfere with the currency
reforms. The natives say the luck
of the Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon
of Kedleston, is falling.
An old lady has written to Mr.. Ar
thur j. Balfour, the first lord of the
treasury and government leader in the
House of Commons, who is an enthus-
iastic golf player, offering him hand

Emperor Williams latest telegram to
the Royal Yacht Squadron at Cowes. is
reported to have reference to the pc
culiarities of the bandicapping, which
puzzled many people here also, and
which is due to different rules being
adopted on different occasions. After
explanations were given it is said the
Emperor expressed himself quite sat
isfied.
1t is understood the Royal Yacht
Squadron was annoyed by the publica-
ton of the Emperor's telegram, des-
cribing the handicap as appalling"
but everything is now settled salts
factorily.

WASHINGTON, August Sit is now
apparent that with the fall movement
Of the crops there will be a pressing
demand for more currency or paper
money. AS this can be furnished in
no other way than by the issue of gold
certificates, there will be undoubtedly
a demand more or less great upon the
treasury for such certificates against
the deposit of gold coin.
The sub7treasury at San Francisco
has already been notified by wire to
resume the issue of gold certificates on
deposits OF gold, and in payment over
the counter of government obligations.
The other sub-treasuries have been no.
titled to the same effect by letter, which
they will receive before business opens
Monday morning. The sub-treasurerS
have also been advised that the gov
eminent will ship them an additional
supply of gold certificates to-day, of
what is known as department series in
denominations ranging from $40 to
1000, and aggregating about $4,000
900. It is anticipated that the gold GER
tificates most in demad will be what Is
known az 'the order certificates"
These will be issued on request to in
dividual aepositors of gold, and in their
own names, in sums ranging from So
600 to $4,000 each. The government
now has in its vaults between SSS,O0O,-
600 and s9OO00,000 in gold certificates
of what is known as the series of 1888,
and these will be supplied on demand
until others may be printed at the bu-
reau of engraving and printing. II
will be recalled that Secretary Carlisle
suspended the issue of gold certificates
by an order promulgated April 4, 1898.
His authority for so doing was that
contained in section II of the act Oh
July u, 1882, which made 1t obllga-
tory upon the Secretary of the treasury
to suspend the issue whenever the gold
reserve retained in the treasury should
fall below $100,000,000. This question
of resuming the issue OF gold ceruh-
Gates which was suspended by Score
tarv Carlisle has been under considera-
ton by Secretary Gage for several
months. He has given the question MS

friends of his from Grand Rapids, Mich,
had announced his intention to visit New
York, and, as he had been various cour-

reciprocate. He was particularly anxious
that his friends should see him in his char
acter of Thomas Penfold, and he called to
leave him two seat checks.

Charles A. Gardner some years ago went
fishing up in the Canadian lakes with a
party of actor friends. For the first few
days the fishing was miserable, and Caro-
ner became very much Disguised. He was
for going down TO Quebec for a weeks fun,
but his friends were inclined to stick it
out and wait for better luck. AS Karl
could not be persuaded to remain, his COM
