of Coren. v..

THIS CAHiSET MKETH.

Lonpon, Oct. 7.—The protection of British subjects China seems to have beeu tile cause for convening the cabinet council, and not Franco's movements lu Madagascar. 1 he English newspapers havo apparently recovered from the had scan.* caused some of them by the haatv calling of the cabinet council. W'ednes day the afternoon newspapers were seriously apprehensive of war with Franco. 2sow they are unanimous in expressing the opinion that there is not the slightest cause far anxiety as to a serious dispute with that country.

Troop* to Be Sent to China.

Most of tho milliliters were present at the meeting, which lasted from noon until 1:30. Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of tho exchequer, was absent. It is announced upon authority that tho cabinet, after discussing the state of alYairs in China, decided to scud troops to that country in order to protect Hritish interests. It is also probable that additional ships will be sent to strengthen the fleet in Chinese waters under the command of Admiral Fremantle, and that in consequence of the tneetiug of the cabinet tho Hritish legation at Peking will shortly be guarded by British bluejackets and native ludian soldiers.

Kiififila Growing I'jjly.

Tho Evening News publishes a sensational statement to the effect that the cabinet council was called to consider a dispatch received from Minister O'Connor, at Pekin, in which it was stated that Russia was intriguing to assist China against Japan in return for the cession to Russia of certain ports of Corea. If this is true, the Evening News adds, it will be a question of sending first-cIrps British men-of-war to China to thwart Russia's intentions. There is no confirmation of these statements from other sources.

Troop* from Indln.

The Exchange Telegraph company sayB 6,000 troops will be sent from India to protect the treaty ports in China. The first rifle brigade will leave Calcutta October lfl for Hong Kong. The other troops which are expected to bo dispatched include the Northumberland Fusileers, two battallions of Ghoorkas and four regiments of Sikhs and drafts from the Punjab. :^c.

Fear# of a Rebellion.

Eonpon, Oct. ft.—-A dispatch from lliuikuw says that as a consequence of the urgent demands of the imperial authorities the proyinop has been denuded of troops. Turbulent mobs havo demonstrated at several points that the authorities are powerless to check them. Europeans are alarmed, and the Hritish consul has advised that ull women aud children be sent to Shanghai, which is considered the safest place. This will be done as soon as possible. The men, with the traders and officials, have formed a volunteer corps to protect themselves. The viceroy fears that the mobs will break out in armed rebellion. He is having fortifications thrown up at Woo Chang on the other side of the river, to be ready in case an attack on the city is attempted.

Foreigners Lenvlng Peking. Shanghai, Oct. ft.— Married European ofileinla in the customs service at Peking are with their families leaving that city, owing to the unsettled condition of affairs there, the recent assaults upon foreigners and the general anti-foreign feeling.

A Scuro at Ningpo.

A dispatch received hero from Hhanghai says that native vessels arriving at that place from Ningpo report that five Japanese warships are lying off the Chusan islands, 50 miles from Ningpo. The warships havo no transports with them. The presence of the Japanese ships near Ningpo has caused a scare at the last mentioned port, aB the few Chinese warships on the coast are obsolete and almost worthless.

WA S IN O N Oct. .V—-Secretary Herbert has been forehanded in taking steps for the protection of the lives and property of American residents in China, believed uow to be endangered by rebellious and unrestrained troops. Three weeks ago the secretary suggested to Admiral Carpenter to confer with the commanders of the foreign ships in Chinese waters and urnwure to cooperate with them, if possible, in a plan to havo one or two ships at each of the treaty ports and other coast towns where foreigners reside, to give protection to the'Citizens or subjects of the nation's party to the agreement. In this way the eight United States vessels assigned to tho station would be equivalent to many more for protection purposes. The Charleston has arrived at Yokohama. There are now five United states warships in the east—the Charleston, Baltimore, Monocacy, Concord and Petrel—and this force will be increased to eight vessels by the addition of the Detroit, Machias and Yorktown as soon as they can be made ready.

New Youk, Oct. 5.—At Thursday's session of the Lexow investigatingcommittee in tho legislative inquiry Into alleged crooked methods of New York officials a woman testified strongly against tho police. She was tho keeper of a disorderly house on Elizabeth street. Under threats of "pullinK" the house ex-Wardinan Frank Wilson (jot from her about everything sho possessed. She furnished his house, bought a silver sot. diamond rings for his wife and clotMnff for his children. Wilson resigned from the foroe the day the committee opened its campaign.

Inspector McLaughlin was formerly captain of the Eleventh preclnot. Tho woman swore that she paid £800 initiation fee to Wirdman Hums under Capt. McLaughlin. Every month she paid #fi0 to Uurns. When Burns wanted a diamond stud he got SIM from her to pnrchaso it. She said sho was now broken down and penniless. Her money had gone into tho police coffers. Referring to the Gerry society agents sho said they collected money from all sources where the girls under age were kept. She told how Capt. Cross had trapped (Jerry Agents Becker and Finn when they took 8500 from her. Finn was Bent to prison for nine months. Hooker oscaped, she said, because ho was "the son-in-luw of Superintendent Jenkins, of the society. "This morning," Hhe said, "a man caine up to me and bald: 'You are subpojnaed to go before the Lexow committee.' "IIow do you know?" 1 asked. 'I know,' he answered. 'You go to Inspector M6Laughlin and bo will buy you off. Don't go before tho Lexow committee.'

The witness had paid tho police from 83,000 to 810,000.

LARGE POPULIST GAINS.

Ueorgla troui 70,000 to '.£0,000. Atlanta, (Ja., Oct. 5.—Later reports from all over Ueorgiu show that the populists have maue gains in almost every county lu this state und that the democratic majority will probably not bo more than 16,000. It was nearly 70,000 at the last general election. Atkinson, the democratic nominee for governor, has been scratched in ull parts of tho stute, and It is believed his majority will not exceed 10,000. The democrats will have 80 majority in the state senate aud 150 majority in the house. Every congressional distriot except Black's—the Tenth, or Watson, district—^vent for the democrats. The Ninth, represented by Tate, is carried for tho democrats by 7 majority, aud the Fourth, represented by Moses, by 000. This is tho first election Bince the war when republicans and populists havo made complete fusion. The negroes voted solidly with the populists.

The populists claim that tho country counties, which will bo the last to be heard from, will reduce the democratic malority to at least 10,000. Of the 17ft members of the house elected about sixty are populists, and of the forty-four members of the senate there are seven populists aud one republican. Several of the strongest democratic counties in the state have been carried by the populists, and with but few exceptions every county in tho state shows populist gains. Speaker Crisp's «iiKtrict givos the largest democratic mujority of any district in tho state.

AN IMPORTANT I'TTKK A K.

*'CoLL\Mm'R. O., (h't.. a.—The democratic state executive committee, of which A. W. Thurman is president] and W. A. Taylor secretary, hut issued an address to the voters of Ohio to the effect that tarilT reform has won and that the money question is now the supreme issue before the country. I iie address contains "about h.400 words and is understood to have been prepared by Mr. Thurman. The euiupaign committee has decided to make the principal fight in Ohio on the.quev tion of the free coinage of silver.

The Addrett*.

The document says among other things: 1. That money Im the standard by which tho exchangeable value of alt labor and the products of the same are determined. 2. 'Ihftt no money standard ever Jia* beeu or ever can be fixed and unvarying measure. 3. Uusluess men must remember that money maybe appreciated in value as 'well as depreciated. 4. That when ii appreciates prlcea fall. When it depreciates prices rise 6. That the vulue of money itself fixed by its exchangeable or purchasing power over other commodities, and this purchasing pow». of money is determined wholly and solely hv tho proportion that tho quantity or money in circulation bears to other commodities. 6. Now what is the demau for m«»m:v'r It is the demand of all things n-on this one'lhing. 7. Now what Is the sur,i y5 Tho supply is the creation solely of the go.^rnment. as nothing is tnouey until tho slamv o» the government is placed upon it. Prior to she demonnlzntlonof silver in 1873 gold una silver were ihe M-nulard money. Since then it has been golti. The supply was cut in two. Could any result other than the continuous fall In pricos ue have experienced for twenty years follow the adoption of this policy?1 All btuiiri' ss men have been looking for the cause this continual decline. All sorts of in^umciom and contradictory onuses are assigned. it is going on. It is affecting all industries In the gold standard countries, has been going on progressively for a series of years. Jt does not uud cannot arise from lo -ai. temporary or subordinate causes. It must have its origin and development in some principle of universal application. .Silver DeinonetUuHom itulftni 1'rlei^.

In silver countries prices have remained stable. In gold countries prices have fallen from 40 to £0 per cent. iiver is the standard of value of more than h-Hf of tho world. Th«' general decline lu prj-es has been brought ubout by the shrinkage in tho volume of money relative to population and business. If the value uf money lu circulation b- n. ulo to bear a direct and steady ratio to population and business prices will be maintained at a steady level, nnd, what Im of supreme importance, money will change but little In vulue. 8. livery money commibsiou which has been appointed by different governments has said that boyont any donbt during the last twenty years gold hus continually and steadily appreciated in value and that this appreciation has been the real cause of the tremendous fall In prices which have taken place in all values, aud the great financial Ulgiurbancos we have seen in all gold usiug countries.

P. Affirms eighth as true. 10. That there has been no overproduction of silver because, for 40o years prior to 1ST3 tho relative production of gold and silver was not quite lfi of silver to of gold, und for tho twenty years since IH73 it has not exceeded 14 to 1. 11. That the free oeinage of silver does not menu any sudden inflation and sudden disturbance of vulucs. This i* so because it is an utter impossibility to produce the precious metalsfoster than they can be absorbed for money purposes. The increaso of population of the world during the last tweuty-five years has beou SOO.CKKMXK). 12. That this gold staudard was Imposed and oontluues to be Imposed upon the people of thn United States by England, iu speaking of this Senator 1'ameron. of Pennsylvania, yuld: -Yet the baukers of London havo said that wo must submit, and we have submitted." 18. That there never has iu the world been such a thing as international money, and iu all probability never will bo. 14. That there is not a sialic obligation of tho Untied States government, other than gold cortillc.ite.s. that is not by the explicit, termsof the contract payable in either gold or silver and wo demand of the servants of the pcoplo that they administer tho laws according to tho terms of that contract. Who can say this is not right.'tiold Alone Not Sufficient,

If). That go'il alone does not afford asulVlent basis upon which our paper currency can safely rest. 16. The advocates sf the single gold standard claim that only gold can make an honest dollar1 According to them. then, as we have shown that gold has continually appreciated in vu'.ji' lot twenty years, dollar is ouly honest when it is increasihg in purchasing pow«r. 17. Again, the gold advocates say that one dollar must he as good at another, but they do not define what "goodness" means. Is not a just dollar a good dollar* Has the gold dollar been unchanging in valued in 1*78 before stiver was demonetised, thlb same gold dollar was worth 8 percent, less than thosllverdollar that same silver dollar will purchase just as much of every other commodity now us it would prior to 1878. 18. Free coiaago is not nn experiment, but su far as the single gold standard has gone It has been a most disastrous one. 10. With the dollar appreciating in value, as It is now doing, thereby causing a decrease in the price of all products, taxpayers are compelled to give moro labor or the products of more labor to obtain these dollars, the ouly thing with which they can discharge all Htute. county and municipal taxes, all of which aro fixed charges. Therefore, to decrease the price of products Is to increase tuxes.

J#. Continued falling markets must annihilate profits, without which all industry must bo paralyzed causes money to accumualte lu money centers, whero it Is principally used by those who gamble in securities, instead of being used in productive enterprises. "The gold supply of the world has been substautlall.vcor« nerod See liaron Rothschild's speech at th«i late monetary conference at Urussels. 21. If business men could only be ssbiireil that prices had once touohed bottom, aud that, even as low as tboy are now, thoy would remain steady and stable In tho future, then ii might be possible for them to oonduct (heir j^usingsa ujon ft. stafeje fooviiuf.
