A RISE IN SILVER
Which Will Brain the Lundon Bank* of
Sonic of their Gold.
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

full speed over the trestle which crosses
the Carthage branch of the Burlington
road at Iowa Junction, His., 11 miles

SERIOUS ALARM.
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.

MR. CATCHINGS’ VIEWS.
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.

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. ' ........ .......

“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

King; Humbert Opened the Proceedings
in Person—Court Ladles Present.
Rome, Nov. 24.—The Italiau parlia
ment was opened by King Humbert in
person. 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. For myself I
am attracted by the ambition to con
nect my name -with economic and in
tellectual renaissance for our. country,
and to see onr dear Italy strong, pros
perous and great. Such as those who
suffered and died for her in the past
lictnred her future to themselves. “I

To flames and go into decline?
Not much! When sonnets fetched per liny
Enough to dine.

Your tears—and take this gentle hint—
