PRoJEoTILE FOR PRESIDENT.
Italian With Mysterious Explosive
Calls at the White House.

Washington, Aug. 10.-An Italian, who
gave his name as Professor Figuccia of
Felucca, Italy, caused some excitement
at the White House by exhibiting brass
projectile which he wished to present to
the president. He was accompanied by a
negro, who bore large satchel. When
stopped at the front door by Usher
Mitchell, he presented a slip of paper
bearing this inscription, Professor FL
guccia presents this projectile to the
president of the United States"
He took out of the satchel very
heavy brass projectie and long wire,
and explained that the pushing of the
wire through hole which had been bored
in the end of the projectile's nose would
cause a big explosion. The visitor could
speak no English and made known his
mission by signs. After some question:
ing it was concluded the Italian was an
inventor seeking official recognition of
his device, and he was directed to the
italian embassy. Later the secret service
was notified.

Kentucky and Congressman Julius Kahn,

General Randall has been successful
in maintaining peace, but the military

in May and June, 1900, an increase Of go
per cent over those of the same months
Of 1889, both of which occurred prior to-
the storm of that year, and the exports
from the United States to Porto Rico
show an increase of no per cent over the

New York, Aug. 10.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Progress has been made toward a more
stable position of business, with a few
more heavy contracts to hold the ground
already gained, bur for a proper interpre
tation of the weeks results one must look
beyond Wall street operations, where
more than in any other quarter, the vaca.
tion season is leaving its impress of mac
tivity. Speculation is cautious but in.
yestment holdings are being increased
rather than diminished, aud operators
cannot see that their hesitation on the
ground of politics is echoed any more in
general business circles than two months
ago. Small change appears in railroad
stocks, ten industrials are 81 higher and
traction issues Il shade lower. Working
forces are smaller and will soon be fur
ther reduced, probably for three weeks
by the closing down of cotton mills in
New England, which has been delayed
Slonger than expected, but our strength is
evidenced to the world by the oversub
scription here of the new British loan OF
G10,000,000 on about 33I per cent basis
on which over half is allotted to Ameri
can applicants.
London sales of 10000 shares of stocks
and some bonds and American purchases
of the new foreign loan explain why gold
goes out in the face of foreign commerce
returns, which show for New York alone
for the week, an excess of exports over
imports of more than $5,000000. Ex-
ports for the week of $12,763,,719 were
more than double those of the same
period of 1899, and for the year the gain
is over $S5,000.000, while imports gain
over $20,000,000. The money market is
untroubled by financing of the foreign
loan, though the volume of new CONNER

HATRED OF FOREIGNERS.

Seattle, WASH, Aug. 10.-The Times
has the following news by mail from its
Kobe tJapan) correspondent:
The steamer Goyo Maru called at Che
mulpo on July on her way from Via
divostok to Chefu, having left the Rus
sian port June 20. The captain stated
that the steamer carried G25 Chinese
from Vladiyostok to Chefu. 1t appears
that the feeling against the Chinese was
very strong in Nladivostok in consequence
of the outbreak Of hostilities.
n number of inflammatory placar1s
have been posted III the western suburb
Of Canton, of which the following is il
specimens:
"Kill all the Germans, the French, the
Americans and the English. Drive all
the foreigners away, and our hearts will
rest in peace.
Act with all your strength of mind
and body, and the struggle will soon be
over. 1t will take few days to raise our
troops. When the red flag is waving
aloft. the world will enjoy universal
peace"
Here is another:
The four countries. Japan. America
Germany and England, have swallowed
up the territory of the Taching and sub
vertcd all orr plans. Our hearts are not
satisfied, but when the red llag Il float
ing and when we have raised our well
disciplined troops and driven away the
foreign devils the world shall enjoy uni
versal peace."
In consequence of such threats manda-
rim guardboats have been anchored along
side the Shameen, ostensibly for its pro-
lection.
