(From the l.w York *•!
If only the capitalists could be con
vinced that the past it past, and that
the building up ot Imroeuse fortune*
in a few year* is no longer po*ib)e.
a great step would be made toward
a revival of business. Tltc moment
they ahould make up ■ heir mind* that
at the present atage of the world a
progress, two per ceut. ie a very fair
j-umnucraliou for securely invested
money, the whole basis of business
transactions would lie chauged. If
capitalist would he satisfied with two
two per cent on government an other
gilt-edged securities investors of a
more speculative disposition would
consider five per cent, a good interest
on their most risky ventures, and the 1
saute standard would soon be accepted j
by the manufacturers, for the manu
facturer, unless he works himself is j
not entitled to any larger interest than I
the mere outside stockholder of an j
Industrial concern. On the contrary,
his returns ought to be smaller, for
he holds himself, the control of the
business, while the stockholders must
truid toother people aud in conse
qucnce runs an extra risk. There
seems to be a natural graduation in
the rate of an industrial profit. Less
than fifty years ago 12 |ir cent was
barely conshlerod a satisfactory aver
age. Some 86 years ago 10 per cent
began to satisfy the investor. Some
16 years ago the 7 per cent rate be
come prevalent and the hour of the
6 jter cent rate has evidently struck
now. When this rate of remuneration
for the qse of their savings is firmly
established in the mases ail business
will be conducted on a cheaper basis
and the much-looked-fur revival will
speedily establish Itself. As long as
this does not take place people will lu
vain look for the removal of the ob
stacles at present obstructing the
progress of business relations all over
tlie world.

Mr. Kellev is staying at Hotel
d’Orlent, Rue l>atmou. He is a
man of medium hrigbt, with hair
slightly sprinkled with gray, anil ho
hides a very Intelligent look behind
his thick glasses. He speaks French
just a little. In his bearing he re
sembles au Knglishtuan rather than
a Yankee, and he wears a rather long
vost, which give* him a sort of cleri
cal air. Indeed, Mr. Kelley must Vie
of a rather religious turn of mind,
judging from the number ot pious
books scattered about his room.
••It is impossible for me to give you
any information,” said Mr. Kelley to
us. 'Tt is pcrfoclly true that I have
beuu rejected by the Austrian govern
ment, but till the question is definite
ly seitied the utmost reserve is im
posed on me. Y’ou are not the first
who has come to seek information
from me on that subjoct, but my
conduct has been the same
towards all. I must add, however,
that you are more favored than the
Paris correspondent Of the Vicuna
New Frolic Presse, who, like you
cauie to interview me, but I did not
even receive him.”
M. le Comte Iloyos, Austrian Am
bassador at Paris, smiled when we
explained to him the object of our
visit. “It Is for reasons purely per
sonal, and wholly foreign to politics,”
he replied, that my government was
obliged to explain to the Uuited
States government what a bad choice
it made. The American government
has not, as yet canceled the nomina
tion of Mr. Kellev. but Mr. Francis,
Ills predeessor, meantime fulfills the
functions of Ambassador at Vienna.”
Discretion is the first virtue of a
diplomat.

“Good boer; drink itdown, Jardine!’’
The female members of the church
talked back to the mob, and a perfect
pandemonium prevailed. Scones of
the wildest confusion were kept up
until the close of the service. A *e

It is now ten days since the liquor
saloons in Athens closed their doors,
and although we have gone through
commcuccmcnt, not one arrest has
been made by the police. This Is an
unprecedented record. Our people
seem well satisfied with the change,
and thus far the experiment works
like a charm. The btr-rooms have
all turned their attention to the sale
of non-inloxicatiug drinks and cigars,
but their receipts arc very small and
will not pay for keeping open doors.
It there have been any attempts at
violating the prohibition law, we
have received no intimation of the
I fact. The city officers are very vigilant
and will use every effort to ferret out
offenders. One house Is under the

Henry Smith, brother of John, was

were all from pistols. John Smith’s
