London, July 3O.-As had been an.
ticipated. the bank Of England today
raised its minimum rate Of discount
an entire point. making It Z per cent.
The step was taken as q protective
measure in view Of tho chaotic flnan-
cial conditions ON the continent fol-
lowing the outbreak Of war between
and Servia and the
almost general advance Of the bank
rates in continental centers.
BY discounting bills freely during
the past few days, while ordinary
sources for discounting were practi-
cally Suspended. and by arranging
credit in connection with gold coming
from New York while American ex-
change was 20 difficult to obtain, the
bank of England considerably re-
lieved the financial world. Now, how
ever. that a raid is being made on its
gold supplies by the continent of Eu-
rope, the bank OF England has found
it necessary to take protective meas
ures. Something like $5.OOO,000 in
gold went out yesterday. while France
obtained practically the whole of the
$5,OOO.O0O which arrived from South
Africa on Tuesday. and although,

While Senator Bristow made NO direct

impression that he would refuse to play

Senator Bristow elected to cast his lot

That was ali. But to hundreds of

nomination Of Curtis over Bristow next
Tuesday would witness the return Of
the progressive wing Of the party to
the Bull Moosers with whom they

In the 1912 primaries, Stubbs de-
