ing carefully prepared statement last
night: >
II do not believe that the attitude Of
the Tammany Hall organization at the
state convention will be either. doubtful
or equivocal. AS far have been able
to consult with the repre- sentative men

expediency of sending To the nationaE
convention a delegation instructed for

date.
1T is safe to say that every delegate
will favor the programme and whatever
influence | may possess will be exerte1
to impress the desirabIity uf it's adop-.
ton upon the delegates from the other
localities in the state.' $

EXPRESSES REGRET.
CHINESE MINISTER SAYS HIS
VISIT WAS MISCONsTRUED.
Action Was Informal-Call Was Made
at Suggestion Of the Treasury
department.

New York, May 28.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says Wu Ting
Fang, the Chinese Minister, expressed
regret that a visit of his to the senate
had been misconstrued and that he had
been place~.n the position of lobbyist.
Il received a dispatch from the Chinese
consul-general in San Francisco several
days ago." he said. stating that it would
be wise to watch the appropriation bills
as an effort would be made to attach to
one of them a rider of an anti Chinese
character.
Before making any representations
to the department. decided to go to the
senate and ascertain if the report was
true. / went to the Office of the immi-
grafton commission and opened the door,
Several gentlemen sitting there rec
ogniZed me and obtained from them the
information desired.
II certainly did not understand that
the commission was holding a meeting
otherwise I would have Immediately re-
tired. These gentlemen displayed con-
siderable interest in the subject and
discussed the Chinese subject with them.
My action was entirely informal.
The call made yesterday on Senator
Allison was at the suggestion of the
treasury department which has charge
of matters relating to the admission of
Chinese"
Secretary Hay informed Mr. WI some
time ago that there would be no obiec-
ton to his dealing in immigration
treasury department in immigration
matters. The minister therefore thinks
he had ample authority for approaching
Senator Allison.

London, May 2S-Although the federals

most closely followed the progress of the
war since the British and the Boer armies
came in touch at Brandford are skeptical

is already reported that the railroad has

SITUATION IN LONDON TINAN.
CIAL CIRCLES,
Market in Dread of the Destruction of
the Rand Mines-Would Take
Three Years to Repair.

New York, May 2S.-The Times Lon
don financial correspondent cables:
Since the beginning of this month the
reserve in the banking department of
the Bank of England has been greatly
increased, and therefore discount is now
weak at 2R per cent, instead of strong at
per cent. Loans for a day or week
now cost more than 2 per cent, COM
pared with 3A and per cent. The Rus
sian gold turned the scale, and since we
obtained G1,OOO,OOO from that quarter,
the India council has released $500, 900
Of the G1,5oO,O00 it locked up here some
time ago to provide for contingencies.
Add the notes which have come back
from circulation and free disbursements
of it's borrowed money by our govern
ment and all is explained.
Will this ease continue? 1t may for
few weeks, perhaps even into July. but
the market is restless and apprehensive,
and therefore liable to frequent happen
ings of an unexpected character. Not
single banker in the city looked for the
depression now with us. Many expected
the bank rate to go up instead of down,
and yet we are fighting to keep discount
from sinking to 2h per cent.
Abroad, Paris alone has followed our
lcdu, duu DOlA Utlnh anu open market
there now discount at per cent. Float
ing balances, however, are not so cheap
nor so plentiful as in London, and quite
expect to see credits at from 5 to 6 per
cent at the monthly bourse settlement
at the end of this week.
In Germany money continues to grow
dearer, and it is from that quarter that
shreWd bankers look for the next pull
upon our gold reserve.
No continental rate of exchange, how
ever. Is really moving in our favor The
reverse is the case, and therefore what
ever supplies of gold come into our mar
ket are mostly snapped up by foreign
buyers. Not only SO, but the Bank of
England continually loses metal by small
driblets exported, and the India country
parcel of sovereigns alone prevented the
weekly return issue last Thursday from
showing a loss.
TO give us good chance to turn
round, money requires to be cheaper than
1t is, and to look like continuing cheap
for months. At present the level of
loans, instead of the stock exchange, is
not likely to be less than per cent on
tainted or highly volatized classes of Sc
eurities, and very few of the best houses
can hope to borrow under per cent.
