In the bank rate to per cent, when
additional turns of the screw seemed
hardly necessary and certainly preIna
ture. The influence of the bankers is
always felt at this time Of year and any

The dividends of the banks at Berlin as
well as at New York have been attract
ing masses of capital for legitimate
business apart from speculation, aud
other countries have been calling for
gold. There is also a lurking apprehen-
sion of the decentralization of all markets
by the budget imbroglio, and the direc-
tors of the Bank of England have con
sidered defensive measures for guarding
the increasing reserves indispensable.
The immediate effect is depressing for
speculation and investment, and brokers
are inclined7 to take a long holiday.
There is a prospect of several months of

TISIT TO ITALY.

tIid Sighted.
rBy French Gable to The Tribune.


Paris. oct. 23.-The visit of Emperor
Nicholas II to King Victor Emmanuel
causes a thrill OF satisfaction through
out France. In diplomatic circles it is
regarded as an event of the greatest
significance, the immediate effect of
which is to rivet the link of friendship
between Italy and France and Russia,
and also to sever d link in the chain
which binds Italy to the Triple Alliance.
This is represented as the first official
visit ever made to Italy by a Car Of
Russia. The scrupulous care with which
the imperial itinerary was drawn up so
as to avoid touching Austrian territory
thereby lengthening the imperial Journey
by five hours, proves that Russia has
not forgotten the threats and hUmilia-
tions inflicted year ago on Russia by
Baron Won Aehrenthals stand-and- deliver
methods, which at the time were backed
up by the unrelenting determination OF
Germany, thereby bringing about the
complete triumph of Baron Won Aehren-
thaI's policy in the Balkans
ON the other hand, the graceful and
tactful greetings which Nicholas ii made
to France at Belfcrt and elsewhere on
French territory, and the arrangements
concluded at the Emperor's personal ini-
tiative for receiving NJ. PiChon, the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs, on
his return journey from Racconigi. rs
well as for the meeting which is TO take
place in thf Cars presence between NJ.
Piehon and NJ. Iswolsky, show how thor
ough and complete is the frankness
which continues to characterize the
Franco Russian alliance.
1t is felt here that Italy's adhesion to
the Triple Alliance hangs only by d
thread, Notwithstanding the mild and
courteous protestations of the Italian
government, and that the Italian people,
whenever the emergency might arise,
would be found standing shoulder to
shoulder with France. GLIB

London, oct 23.-The movement in
favor of a Shakespeare memorial theatre
has received fresh impulse from the con-
ference of an influential executive COM

Mansion House The announcement that

authors and public men. with many
women of distinction. The mayors and
provosts of many provincial towns were
among the Lord Mayors guests, and the
proceedings were hearty and exhilarat-
ing, truly national in scope and encour-
aging in every respect.
The two rival schemes for monument
and a national repertory theatre have
been reconciled and readjusted. an ad-
mirable plan for the conduct of a memo
rial playhouse has been worked out. and
f73, 800 has been secured toward the
f500,O00 required for the building and
it's endowment. The interest shown at
to-day's conference encourages the COM
mittee to invite subscriptions through
out the kingdom and to bring great
pressure to bear on the London County
Council for reserving site in cOnnec-
tion with the proposed improvements.
The handbook issued by the committee
is illustrate with photographs of COnti-
mental state theatres and the new roper
tory theatre in New York. The speeches
at the conference were bright and inter-
esting, and a large number of literary
and stage celebrities were on exhibition.

NO WAR OYER TARIFF
France Fears to Enforce Mari
mum Rates.
IBy French cable to The Tribune, J


Paris. Oct. 23.-The tariff debates are
likely to take place in the French Cham
Der next week. Just now the trend OF
feeling among the Deputies is against
putting into force the maximum rates
as a retaliation against the United
states. for this would involve trench
taxation of articles of primary necessity
and in the coming general elections
would call forth a wave of popular pro-
test among the masses of Radical Vot-
ers. This is a risk that the BRAND CAP
met shrinks from incurring.
AS the French Minister of Commerce
vittilv remarked, 1.-THE only objects oil
luxury that come from the United states
susceptible of high protective tarlh
are American heiresses, and as so many
~ them become French citizens by their
marriages with titled B'renchmen II
would be difficult to frame a law that

The convent at CZenstOchowa is

gin, and attracts probably quarter of
a million pilgrims annually. Formerly
it was strongly fortified. In 1855 it was
attacked by q large Swedish army, and
its defence at that time by handful of
monks and soldiers constitutes one of
the most heroic episodes in the history
