RATE GOES DOWN
Bank ot England. Which Raised Discount During Our Panic
 Drops a Cent.

London, Jan. 2.-The directors of the Bank of England to-day lowered the minimum rate of discount to 6 from 2 per cent, which rate was es- tablished as a result of the recent American financial crisis. Improved financial conditions in America, coupled with better monetary situ- ation in Germany, assisted the direc- tors in their decision to remove the stringent rate. of discount which had been handicapping trade speculation for the past seven weeks. The effect Pof the reduction of the discount rate, however, already had been largely discounted on the London stock ex- change as the absence of New York competition for Mondays gold ar rivals and a sharp drop in discount rates foreshadowed an early decline in the official minimum rate of dis count.
 The market this morning opened quietly Consols improved 3-16 on the announcement of the reduction of the official discount rate while Amer ican securities recovered their early weakness. There was not much business being transacted

TO REDUCE OUTPUT
Smelling and Refining Com paDies Will Do Thai or
 Make Cut in Wages.

Denver, Jan. Franklin Guter- man, general manager of the Ameri- can Smelling and Refining company, when asked to-day regarding the truth of the dispatch from Helena, Mont, last night that the smelters of Colorado were to be closed down or wages reduced, said he was very ops timistic over the situation. The mat ter was considered at a conferences some time ago, he said, and 1t was agreed in tentative way to reduce production. This was because there was no market for lead, one of the principal products of the smelters of Colorado Since that meeting he had received advices from New York that lead and he believes that the decision will be revoked. If, however, the demand falls off again it will be nec- essary to curtail it's production and in order to keep the smelters rum ming, there will be a reduction in wages. This, however, will be slight and not 10 per cent, as mentioned in the Helena dispatch and it will not be general. He believes it will not be necessary, he said, either to cut wages or reduce the working forces as his latest advices indicate the demand for lead will be sufficient to keep tho smelters running in this state on the same basis as at present

BILLY SUNDAY SHUTS SALOONS. Iowa Has Dry Holiday Because of
 Baseball Evengelist's Work.

Des Moines. Iowa. Jan 2.--FoF the first New Years day in inc state history the saloons of Burlington and Davenport were closed yesterday. under the holiday law, and in Musea- tine all twenfy-eight liquor shops closed last night for good.
 Although reform has made much headway In Burlington and Dayeu- port. the saloon men were not any more of mind to close yesterday than they were on Christmas until Attorney General Byers tele?honed from Des Moines that If the local au- fhorities dM not shut the saloons he would close up every one of them per manently. This led to conferences of saloon men and they. agreed Co abide by the law.
 In MuScatine tho closing of the sa- Ions Is due to the RllIy Sunday re- vlvai meetings and organization ef a service league. headed by tho rich IumIIerman. W. L. ROsch.
 The Iowa liquor law requires inc closing of saloons on holidays and places many other restrictions on them. hut the river cities have always set the law at defiance

NO REPORT YET
Missing City Funds Not Located
 By Committee.

The committee appointed some time ago by the department of snance, con- sisting of Commissioners A. H. Wells and 4 .E. Lord, to prepare and sub nit to the board a statement regard ing the whereabouts of missing city funds paid for street. sewer and pay ing assessments, will not make a re- port. No explanation has been given tor the failure of tie committee to get together. This is to be regretted, be cause it leaves a great many property owners in . bad mess. They paid their money and have receipts to show who received it. and yet in most cases the accounts are still standing against them. Whoever iIyard of such a thing being allowed to stand so long. If the money cannot be found, surely those who paid it and have re- ceipts to show for it. shouldn't be put to trouble or expense over the mud dle-, It might not be wise to throw any more money away looking for funds which appear to have been lost, but in justice to those who have paid, something should be done to str;tight- en out their side of the tangle.

EDITOR HARDEN SICK. Unable to Appear in Court To-Dav When Trial Resumed.

Berlin, Jan. 2.-Maximien Harden editor of Die Zukunft. who is now being tried a second time on the charge of having libeled in his pa per Count Kuno Von Moltke. is ser, iously i'll and was unable to appear in court to-day when the hearing was resumed. The court was adjourned while official physicians proceeded to his residence to investigate his con dition and ascertain whether he is capable of appearing before the court today to give his testimony
 The physicians confirmed the fact that Harden was unable to leave his bed. Dr Isenbiel. the prosecutor, then said that Prince Zu Rulenburg challenged anybody to produce the slightest testimony that he was gull ty of the adominable charges against him. He had asked Harden to pro- duce his proof, but Harden had de- clined to testify.
 The president of the court here in- terrupted Dr Isenbiel to remind him that further proceedings in the. ab- sence of the defendant were injudic- lous, and court was adjourned until tomorrow.

MAYOR IS ABSENT
Men Looking For Good Places Rope He Will Return Ere long

Where is Mayor Thoms? is Il ques- ,on put to nearly everybody sup posed to know anything about his honor's movements to-day. but no- body appeared able to answer it. The last heard of him by the reporters was that he was seen hurrying down Bank street yesterday afternoon with grip i'll his hand en route for the railroad station. It is also stated that he will not return until late. Monday. If this be so, many will be disappoint- ed.s The statement that he made known the makeup, of his boards to the democratic aldermen elect is not generally believed, and as the alder men are not affirming or denying the r,imor. renders the situation all the more difficult of solution. as the names of the chosen few, and as a consequence nobody knows where he is at. The democratic aldermen say that when the republicans were in the majority they kept such matters to themselves and that they see no req son why things should be different now. but beyond this you can't get anything out of them.
 While the race is lively among the candidates for commissionerslips if 5 q, tame affair compared with the fight for sealer of weights and measures. Some insist that the. aldermen have already agreed upon man. but those who think so are deceiving them selves. No caucus has been held on that matter by the new aldermen. This is about. the only thing that can be stated without fear of running counter with facts. The other rumors regarding probable appointments ny the mayor may or may not be true so far as the aldermen, as body at least, know On this. point the mayor Is keeping his own secrets and prob ably this explains why there'is so lit tie known on the outside. lt is al- most impossible for a dozen or more men to. keep such things to them selves and knowing human weakness in this respect. 1t is evident that his honor concluded not to bother the board with secret that possibly might not be kept. When the names of the commissioners are made known. those who insist that the aldermen are side stepping will realize that they are as much in the dark on these matters as those who look to them for infOrma- ton.

IN TOW OF THE TEAsER.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, Jan. 2.- The barge Sterling, whose crew ac- complished the feat of sailing her forty miles in twelve hours, from Block Island to this port, yesterday, after she had cut away from the tug Mars, left to-day for Boston in tow of the tug Teaser. The Sterling was bound from Philadelphia for Boston, heavily laden with coal, in tow of the Mars. The tug broke down eight miles off Block Island at a. m., yes- terday and signalled the barge to continue. The crew of the Sterling hoisted sails which appeared scarce ly more than handkerchiefs as com pared with the size of the vessel. Fortunately strong westerly wind was blowing. before which the Sterl- ing surged along and reached the entrance of Vineyard sound just as the tide turned in her favor. The captain steered her up the sound and cleverly avoiding all the shoals in spite of the little steerage-way, came to anchor here late last night.
