London, Nov. 25.—A sudden rise in :he price of silver has been caused by the operations of a group of speculators. Forty lacs of rupees in the drafts on India were offered for sale by the India council. The extraordinary amount of 818 lacs were tendered for one tender of 100 lacs at the highest price absorbed the drafts. The Indian hanks and merchants had to go to the diver market to buy enough silver to ueet their requirements. The price of he metal was thus driven up 6-16,1. Various motives are attributed to the operators. One of the reasons given are that their actions was due to a trick oi the American silver men who desired to boom silver with view to influencing the action of the Brussells conference. The dealers doubt that the rise will be maintained as too much silver is be- ingloffered. The Russian government has tel egraphed to Berlin.bankers with whom it hns accounts requesting them to re mit a large portion of its deposits to St. Petersburg within six weeks. This will cause further drain of. gold from London. HAM’S CHESTNUTS. From New YrrkTribute. Th<, Ark h»d been out of sight of land a little ovtr three months. It was gettil g monotonous. ‘*How does she head?” said Noah to Khem, who had just, come off watch. “Sou’west by west, a little west.” “All right,” said Noah, as he rhifted his quid and resumed his examination of the chart. “This ought to be a good day for fishing,” said Japhet. “If I only had some bait.” “Speaking of bait," interrupted Ham, “reminds me of the colored man who was fishing off the dock alorgiidea small colored boy when the boy fell ov rboard. The colored man ” “Ham,” said Noah, sternly, “do yon know bow Cain escaped being hung for murder?” “No;;i don’t remember.” “Well, bis defence was that Abel had tried to ring in that old story on him. And the jury rendered a verdict of just flable homicide ” Ham felt the rebuke. There was an awkward pause. Presently there was a disturbance in the cattle department. “Sounds to mea&JI the bull was making trouble,” said Ham. “And speaking of bulls reminds me of a friend of mine who undertook to tame a bull. He tied a rope around his waist ” “Yes,” interrupted Jiphet. “I re member that story. Tubal Cain s* t it to music, the bull belonged to his brother-in-law; you needn’t tell it.” Ham subsided again. “Seems to me, Ham,” said Nosb, looking up from the chart, that you’re a kind of an ass.” ‘Ha!ha!”8aid Ham, good na'ur diy, laughing at his own expense “But that reminds me of what, a man down in Mesopotamia said to a fellow who was bragging about a mule. He svd—’” “Never mind what he said,” inter rupted Sht m. “We kuow all about the nule and the buzzards, an l he tol I the story twice a week for 960 years.” “Well,” said Ham” “I think this is rather rough on a man who is doing as well as he can. I don’t pretend that these stories are new, but we’re been so long at sea with no company bat he animals, I thought they might sort >f enliven us.” “There’s where you make a ble ding orror,” said Japhet; “these stories are o stale they need disinfectants. They ire liable to breed disease and get us quarantined.” Silence ensued for soma time. At ngtb Shetnsaid: “Tomorrow being Friday I.suppose we shall have 11 :h for oreatfisL” “Speaking if fl3h,” said Ham, “re- miLds me of a farmer friend of mine vho went to a hotel on his wedding our and struck a codfish cake—” “Merciful heavens!”^ cried Noah, -ising to his feet; “have we got to lis ten to these chestnuts all night? The nan who found something dead in the bread was the pre-historic man nimself. Adam found the atory writ ten in hit rogly phics in the anteroom of a cave bear. Ham, If you don’t abut up I’ll throw you out of the window!” Ham was angry, but be took the hint. Weeks afterwar J, as the family were going ashore at Ararat, Noah said: “Ham, where are you goi g to locate?” Raising his hand solemn y, Ham an- wered: “I am going to N rth Ameri- ci, and I shall tell these four stories to some body who will li tea to th-' m if I have to wait five thousand years.” Sure enough, Ham came up from Georgia and told these stories in Tam many Hall 'i hursday n : ght. There has always been some doub* in theological c n li s precisely wbat Noah “cussed” Ham for. If be told the stories in the ark that he did in Tammany Hall the mystery is solved. [ The editor of the Tribune who gets cbis off at the expense of the Georgia Ham is somewhat like that lot of fools who wouldn’t get inside the ark J Wrecked Train and Tre»tle. Burlington, Nov. 24.—A Santa Fe freight train broke down while going at full speed over the trestle which crosses the Carthage branch of the Burlington road at Iowa Junction, His., 11 miles 6outli of Burlington, wrecking six cars loaded with freight and demolishing the bridge.

St. Louis Is Invaded by a Dreadful Scourge—A Cholera Forerunner. St. Louis, Nov. 25.—This city is, without doubt, in the grip of an epi demic that may become a pestilence. Hundreds of new cas?s df typhoid fever have been reported at the health office.. The city seems to have been in a poor sanitary condition. The water in the Mississippi river is low, and it is thought high water would dilute the poison and assist in abating the scourge. The river rises at this season of the year, however. Between930and 1,000 ca ses have been reported in two months. Prominent physicians say the disease is the forerunner of cholera, which is sure to make its appearance next year. They advance a scientific reason for this belief. The board of health is seriously alarmed. A North Carolina Hotel Burned. Greensboro, Nov. 25.—The elegant Seindendorf hotel at Winston,, which was completed and opened np to the public a few months age at a cost of $175,000 has been burned. -The cause of the fire is not known, but it is thought to have been accident al. The fact, however, that it came so soon after the big incendiary fire there a few days ago, it is feared that the fire bugs are still at work, aud the peo ple are very much excited. The loss is complete and but partially covered by insurance.

He Does Not Look for Any Belief from til© Present Congress. Washington, Nov. 24.—Mr.. Catch ing, the leading member of the house commit tee_on rules, now in Washing ton, is quoted in an interview ns ex pressing the belief that the present con gress will do nothing to lessen the bur dens of the incoming administration, and that the now congress will he com pelled to take necessary steps to increase revenues. He does not believe that a revision of the tariff can bo successfully undertaken during the special session, but he doe0 hold that in special session the new con gress might properly repeal the McKin ley act, thus restoring the old duties of 1883. _ That would wipe out the sngar bounties, effecting a saving of $1,000,000 annually, and at the same time restoring the sngar duties and about $50,000,000 to the annual revenue, making a total increase of revenues approximate $45.- 000,000. This increase he feels would prevent any deficiency until after the next regu lar session, and possibly for a longer period. Mr. Catchings would also pass'the, separate tariff bills that were passed tliff' last session by the house only to remain’ unacted upon by the senate’ and -bft would also add lumber and salt to the free list. . The reduced prices of the necessaries; life covered by the new bills would, ac cording to his reasoning, reconcile the: people to the reimposition of the sngar duties. ' He favors an early special session of congress, thinks that Mr. Crisp will be re-elected speaker without a protracted struggle, and believes that the pension roll could be revised with profit. Mr. Catching sees no danger of wild cat money in the passage of a bill to re move the tax on state hank circulation, and favors that bill if the states are obliged to insure soundness of their bank issues. — He also favors the admission as states of Arizona and New Mexico, and local government for Utah arid Oklahoma. So far as this congress is concerned, he thought it would do no more than pass regular annual appropriation hills, SECRETARY FOSTER’S REPLY. Davenport Has Not Resented Any Bill for Services Rendered. Washington, Nov. 24.—Secretary of the Treasury Foster has written a let ter to Representative Fitch, chairman of the congressional committee inves tigating the election methods in New York city, regarding the accounts of elections in that city. In his letter Mr. Foster states that Mr. Davenport has not presented to the treasury department any bill for ser vices alleged to have been rendered in the recent elections. That he has de mands for such services and contem plates presenting them, Mr. Foster says he has ho doubt, but under the law he cannot comply with Mr. Fitche’s re quest to defer their payment until the committee has time to examine., them. Mr. Foster ^quotes ths revised statues’ and decisions of the supreme court in support of his position, and suggests that Mr. Fitch apply to District At torney Mitchell for permission to be present when Mr. Davenport’s accouts aro presented, having no doubt that Mr. Mitchell will afford him an oppor tunity of examining each item. a BROKEN NECK Has a Hooster Teamster, and Still He Live*. Anderson, Nov. 24.—Alive, but with a broken neck, is the predicament in which John Green, an Anderson team ster, finds himself. On Tuesday, while walking about the house, Mr. Green stumbled and fell, striking his head against the wall. The spinal column was fractured close np to the base of the skull, and when picked np his head fell over limp upon his breast. The pa tient is unconscious most of the time, but occasionally becomes rational. The case is a peculiar one, and the medical fraternity is guessing whether or not Hie man will recover. THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR. Mrs. Gladstone. Sir Andrew Clark has often been heard to say that Mrs. Gladstone is quite as i much entitled to the name of the Grand Old Woman as her evergreen husband is to that of the Grand Old Man. On Jan. 12 last Mrs. Gladstone’s eightieth birth day came round, and she passed the morning in writing letters to her friends Their Closing Hours at St. Louis Were Very Interesting. St. Louis, Nov. 24.—The Knights of Labor convention has closed its session. The last day was very interesting and a number of important resolutions were adopted. Among them was a resolu tion favoring the restriction of immi gration to those who had funds suffi cient to support themselves for one year and restricting the ballot to those who could read and write. The convention refused to adopt the resolution favoring the abolition of the national guard. The boycott on Armstrong & Co. of Pitts burg, cork manufacturers, was readopt ed. The proposition to abolish the tax on state bank issnes was. condemned and the convention reaffirmed its stand that money should be issued by ths na tional government only. The general assembly placed itself on record as being opposed to closing the World’s Fair on Sunday and left the sale of liqnor on the grounds to the state. v The general executive board was au thorized to take stops to establish a Homestead building and loan .associa tion, and establish an insurance associa tion to provide members with funds to carry on suits under the employes lia bility. After expressing thanks to the press association and to the local press for favors, the convention adjourned sine die. ' ........ ....... Left Just in Time. Sedvlia, Mo., Nov. 24.—A sharper giving his name as as M. Martin and registering from Carthage, Mo., has succeeded in victimizing several Sedalia business men during the last few days by securing small sums of money on worthless checks. Martin represented himsel as a jeweler and ordered $500 worth of store fixtures from Keck & Dickman, cabinet-makers, to start a store. Tuesday he attempted to cash a check at the First Fational Bank for $2,000. It was drawn on a bank of i Quincy, Ill. The hank here telegraphed : and found the check to be worthless. Martin secured another $10 check from A LAND COMPANY That la Now in a Pack of Trouble Fi nancially. New York, Nov. 24.—A late edition of The Herald says: “An unpleas«utvaltern:itive has been thrust upon some of the stockholders of the East Tenuessee Land company. The returns on their cash investments have not been what they hoped for. Now they are asked in a letter issued by the company on November 14, to re spond “promptly and substantially,” to call for subscriptions for “the first lien preferred” stock on to expect the ap pointment of a receiver for the company within fifty days. “The East Tennessee Land company was organized three years ago by lead ing Prohibitionists, with the object of founding a town that should be forever free from the liquor traffic. The capital of the company was $3,000,000. The scheme was advertised by the Prohibi tion papers, and $2,000,000 worth of stock was soon disposed of. General ’^Clinton B. Fisk, tho Prohibition candi date for president in 1888, was first the president of the company. He received a salary, of $10,000 a year. '“The site chosen for the town was within a crescent formed by the Emery 'river betweeil the Cincinnati Southern railroad on the west and Walden’s ridge division on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad on the north. Harriman, as the place was named, is fifty miles west of Knoxville and eighty miles north of Chattanooga. Harriman grew and prospered. The liquor traffic was barred by provision of title and deed. The population of the town is nearly 5,000, and growing. It has two banks and four newspapers. 4t The cash dividends of the per cent, per annum were paid in stock the first year. 1 Last year, however, the semi annual dividends were paid in stock. When the time came for the next semi annual dividend in July last, nothing was paid, Instead, it was found that the -company needed more money. The third million dollars of the company’s stock had not been sold. It is this which is now to be issued as “first lien prefer red” stock.

The queen and ladies of the court were present in the gallery and Were heartily cheered. King Humbert was given an enthusi astic reception. In opening the session, his majesty said: “The year drawing to a close will be long memorable in our history. The an cient glories of Italy have furnished a fresh cause for legitimate pride. My Se.ul is still penetrated with feelings stirred by'tlie-homage recently re^oiyec 1 at Genoa from Tepfesenfatives of the most civilized nations. These assur ances of sympathy aud respect are more gratifying in view of. the unity of pur pose blending my House and people. I regard what is done for me as all done for niy people. I see in the honors be stowed upon me in Gehoa the universal testimony that Italy maintains her posi tion as an unwearied supporter of con cord and peace. My government, in concord with its allies, endeavors by vigilant care to preserve Europe from any canse of dissension. Your labors will commence amid the guarantees of peace.” Adverting to the finances of the coun try, his majesty said: “The equilibrium will be attained without increasing tax ation. Bills will be introduced giving elasticity to the revenue and promoting reforms in taxation. Measures will also be introduced to bring about reforms in the army, and they insure that our mil tary strength will not be weakened by the proposed reduction in army expen ditures. Other bills will he presented dealing with national schools, judicial systems, maritime postal service, and providing for the completion of the rail way and canal system.” In concluding his speech King Hum bert said: Victor Emsmuel cherished the no ble ambition of restoring Italy to the Italians. He attained the fulfillment of his wish in our Rome.
