Thinks Ensl:nd Glory on the 8e Would Not KtMtitl heffr Tri1. Bfjii.in, July 2j An interesting comment made by Emperor William prior to bis departure from Kiel for the Isle of Wight la reported. According to a in ember of bis Majesty's suite a discos lion is going on between high officials and the Emperor as to the possible outcome of the French dispute with Biam, when his Majesty remarked that England was not strong enough to assert herself against any European power or against the United states. He farther declared that if ever she was brought into a conflict with any of the nations the belief lu her formidable streugth and her reputation as queen of the soaa wonld burst like a soap bubble. A remarkable change occurred within the past fow days in the tone of the German press and pnblio conversation in regard to the Siamese imbroglio. Germany began to realize that ho would be seriously affected in the event of a blockade of the Siamese coast, as, next to England, she controls the greater part of the trade with Siam. Communications were exchanged with Great Britain, and Germany bad decided on the line ci conduct she wonld pursue should German vessels be interfered with by French war ships in Siamese waters. The newspapers discovered that something more was to be said than was contained in the dispatches published in the Tageblatt. and the Coloane Gazette and the Kreussering took the lead in outspoken opposition to France. Geueral satisfaction was expressed to-day when it became known that France would, in view of Slam's submission, withdraw the notification of a blockade.

A U1LU FOUM OF ANABCHY

President Hicinboiham Says Christians Want tho Law Violated. The White City Will la Open To-Daj Inaccuracies in the Guide Poo Tboga Aw. fal Algerian Girl Danwrs Agaiav World's Fair Grounds, Chicago, July 23. Tbe world's fuir will be open to-mor row, but that is about all that oan be 6aid of it. Gates and buildings will admit visitors as on Sundays before tbe last one, but no extraordinary attractions will be of fered. A good portiou of the exhibitors Are pat oat by the order of tbe council of ad ministration. Since the order went out last Saturday that the fair woald be' closed on Sunday very few exhibitors havo made any provision for keeping open, and with some of them considerable prepara tion is necessary. The result will proba bly be that more exhibits will be closed to morrow than on any previous Sunday. The council of administration received this afternoon the following telegram from Pittsburg: Couucil of Administration Any possible pen alty lor contempt or court lu closlnc to-morrow lu uccord.iuce with law will bo a f rule to tbe coat of lncurriug tbe everlasting contempt of tha country lor luetbcienuy or trickery In recent dewilntrs with stem Injunction, If it results In even one re-opeuiug. lu behalf of national babbalh cloiug committee V i lhi'r F. Cr ats, Chairman, fi. 8. George, secretary. "Tbe people who sent the message cer tainly cannot understand the situation we are in' said President lliginbotham. "ibey think we are tricking with the Stein injunction, and are immodest enough to say so. 1 bey seem, also, to think tbat it would be better for all of us to go to jail for disobedience of tbat injunction than to incur their displeasure by keeping the fair open. In other words, the Christian people do not want us to obey the law. They want us to still further disobey the mandate of the courts. It would seem to be e7ry one's uuty to support us in obedience of tbe law, rather than to counsel anymore infractions. It is probable that Judge Stein will punish us4ior what we have done already. 1 shall be disappointed if he does not. Certainly, if I were in his place, and ho in mine. I should visit some punishment on him. I don't think that my position, my wealth or my connection with the fair ought to shield me in the least. And as 1 said, I shall be disappointed if Judge Stein does not punish us all." The Associated American Exhibitors have risen in revolt against tho inaccuracies of the otllcial catalogue, issued under the auspices of the exposition. For three months past the complaints against the errois in this guide book bavo been confined chieliy to visitors who purchased the document, but only found it serious trouble in leading them into hop-?les confusion when endeavoring to do the fair under its direction, but the exhibitors themselves have now concluded that it is injurious to tbeir interests and have issued a sharp letter to tbe publishers, Conkey V. Co., which is to be followed by a protest to the director-general if a corrected edition be not forthcoming. For the first time since his fight with gate-keeper Tbornby, Commissioner- .St. Clair attended the meeting of the national commission to-day. IU camoin quietly and took a seat in the back of the house and took no part in the proceeding. At lo'olock the national commission suspended tbe regular proceedinss to bear a number of men representing the American Exhibitor's Association. President Pangborn, of tbe association, was hrst to address the commission lie explained that owing to lack of elevators for visttprs to the fair few went up in the galleries of tbe buildings. There was a great lack of ventilation and in some of tbe building;, more especially in the galleries, the air was almost stilling. He complained tbaton this account tbe grounds wero frequently crowded with people when tho buildings were' almost empty. "The dancing girls of Midway Plaisance," be said. "the scum of the brothels of the Orient, attracted more attention than tho great Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building. 'I bis should not be so. Something should b done to induce the visitors to visit the exhibits. If there were plenty of guides to show visitors through tbe buildings mure interest would betaken in the exhibits." Director-general Davis replied on behalf of the exposition management. He said if the exhibitors had such grievances as those of which Mr. Pa tig born spok" tbey should have formulated them and sent them either to bun or to thecounoii of administration. The exposition company was anxiont to plena tho exhibitors, and would do all it could. He referred t the bad treatment tbe fair was receiving at the bands of the railways, and said those corporations bad not been showing the fair hi much consideration an was accorded to the average country fair or agri-. cultural show. The effort to reduce - the free list to the fair are proving so successful that Superintendent Tuolcer, of the departmeut of admission, prediots that under th revision now taking place at least ten thousand season passes will be cut off. People who are conscious of their questionable right to free admission havo been making the most of their passes since the orders for revision and rcduotion were issued, the attendance from this source having jumped from 20,000 to 40,000 a day. As tbe order cutting on the old passes goes Into effect Aug. 1. it is expected that after that date the daily free admissions sr all decrease to bat little over twenty thousand. Next week promises to be a lively one at the fair, every day being taken for the special exercises of some country. State or organization. On Monday, the engineers, after a short session in the Art Palace, will take possession of as much of Jackson Park as they ean cover. In the evening there will be a grand illumination oil' Wooded island with lanterns and an open-air concert by five hundred or more voices from the Colombian chorus. New South Wales will have the run of things on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the National Union will have a programme at the fair. Thursday is Russian day, and on Friday the park will be given to Scotland's plaided warriors and dames. California pioneers' day is set for Saturday, and their exercises will wind up the week.

Did yon ever ride a oimolf It U like no other ride under the inn. The camel Is i about eight feet high when he hss all tbe .ink out of bis long legs. Nature has not

particularly favored the camel in tbe way of physical beauty. He is always motheaten, shell-worn, fadd and rickety. Where he is not angular he is lumpy. His bair is worn oil in patches, feet square, and no one can count the joints of his tremulous, loosely -woven legs. His beauty not enhanced by the soiled and tattered saddle of carpet and cheap ornaments which adorns his back, and the grimy l.ulter in which bis long, mournful head is bound. But the camel has made a hit at the fair, notwithstanding physical discrepancies. Tbe camel is tbe comedian of Cairo street, in Midway Plmsance. He keep the sunny

street in a bubble of excitement and laugb- i ter. While he is tipping people into all sorts of irantic attitudes and angles, causing women to shriek and make a reokle display of pretty ankles and delicate lingerie, and fending an idle crowd into paroxysms of funghter. he always maintains a slow and homely dignity wbicU is perfectly natural not acquired. lieterfethe nder mounts the camel is made tr kneel no one can tel! how he does It. Hut he sort of telescopes himself, folds up like a jackknife, settles in complete repose on a piece of matting and awaits his cargo. The driver, a big dusky man in a loose gown and twisted turban, rasps the prospective rider around the waist and deposits her on the saddle as though he were handling a sack of corn. If she shows a desire to fall oil and loses her hat as tbe camel staggers in ribing he grasps her firmly by the ankles, and. in a volley of vehement Egyptian, begs her to keep cool and bang ou. When she is securely seated tbe driver tugs at the halter and thumps tbe camel over the neck with his stick. At first the camel shakes lii s head in drowsy protest Then suddenly bis hindquarters begin to lift. They keep on lifting. It seems as though be is using one end at a time. The woman's bat falls over her eyes, she shrieks and makes a frantic grab in the direction of the animal's tail. As she clings to this forty-degree incline the animal pauses, then he swings to the right and left with a drunken motion, causing her to give a good illustration of the movements used "in swimming, and finally untangles his front legs. White she i9 tipped back to save herselt from sliding oil tho saddle and down his long neck, he lets out another link, and the front half of bis anatomy comes np with a bump. The woman gives a Corn an oho hoop and narrowly escapes tobogganing over bis tail. After several repetitions of this come-np-a-notoh movement the camel shakes the kinks out of all his lege and slowly turns around, wabbling like a boat caught in the trough of the sea. With hat awry and equilibrium a little shaky she finally starts on the ride down the street. All this tune the hundred or two people who have been standing there - an hour or more just looking on and having a good time have been yelling with glee. When tbe ride is ended they return to the starting place. When it comes todisrnounting the camel is a little uncertain. He may lower his rear haunches some eight feet at one lazy droop ami allow tbe rider to slide gracefully over his tail, or be mar swoop carelessly to the front and threaten a "header." Usually, however, he comes down by degrees, us before stated, merely telescoping himwelf, breaking each leg in a new place and giving bis rider nothing more than a few uneasy swings backward and forward. Camel riding has become a craze In Midway, and yon have not properly "done" the fair until you have had a camel ride. I.4UU LIVES LOST.

It is difbcolt to obtain information from the interior, but reports have reached here that General Zavata has strongly fortified Granada and has organized an army of 4,000 men to defend the city.

But the victims of the business reverses of the past six months have been, not the farmers, bnt the said alleged plutocrats.

This is not due, necessarily, to any agreement he has made, but beoause be desires to carry into effect Dqmocratio policy, and tbe Democratic policy, he believes, is that which has been determined upon as best by the administration. Whether Mr. Uland goes to tbe head of the coinage committee or not that committee will favor the unconditional repeal of the tiherman act. As to Mr. liland himself, it is not yet determined that he will again bo chairman. That rests largely witb himself. If he be appointed ohairraan the majority of bis committee will not bo in sympathy with bis free coinace sentiments. The leading committees of tbe House will all be in aocord with the President's views. Inother words the Honse of tbe Fifty-third Congress will be differently organized from tbe House of the Fiftysecond Congress. Mr. Crisp has expressed his purpose to organize his committees so thattbey will be helpful to the President's wishes.

HILL. Tie Talks to Hop Growers, hut Is a Great Pndcer of the Silver Question. Utica. N. Y.. Jnly 2J. Senator David B. Hill delivered an address to-day at Sylvan Peach, before tbe Hop-growers' Association. His subject was "Personal Liberty," and in part he spoke thus: "In tbe realm of labor and in the domain of industry, the prinoipie involved m personal liberty cannot be too frequently asserted. The fact cannot be too strongly emphasized that every man's labor is his own, and that he can do with it as he pleases. Ha bas a personal right to name his own wages, his own hours, his own duties, anu all the other terms under wbioh he is willing to be employed, and if they are satisfactory to the one who hires an agreement is reached aud there is an end of the controversy between them. The contract is a personal matter with which no other workingman or employer has a right to interfere. It is a bargain between two competent contracting parties and itisnobody'a bnsinessbut their own. They are free from the restrictions of any other employer or employe, aud nre not subject to tho control or dictation of any association or organization to which they do not belong, and to which they do not owe any allegiance. These considerationsof therelative nghtsof individualsengaged in labor pursuits., about which there ought not to be any dispute among wellinformed men, do not condict with obligations which workingmen assume when they voluntarily join labor orgaoizations, except in the matter of personal honor, which may be involved and which may require submission to tbe conclusions of a majority. The legal rights of such individuals unquestionably remain the same, irrespective of the qnestion of such membership. They always must be deemed to reserve the abstraot legal right of repudiating such membership whenever they so prefer, their withdrawal only occasioning such minor forfeitures as reasonable by-laws might inflict. They cannot be, compelled to act against their will. Their personal rights cannot be jeopardized. "In that view I fail to appreciate the anxioty of a certain loarned jurist of another State who, iu a recent address, seemed to apprehend serions danger to the peace and welfare of our free institutions occasioned by the manifestations of power and alleged detiancu of authority on the part of certain labor organizations in tbe Western States. w In my opinion, the citadol of personal liberty in this country is more in danger of being undermined by tbe ill-considered opinions ot some of its judges, straining doubtful points, and invoking quibbles iu favor of corporate power, and creating legal fictions to cripple the efforts of honest labor struggling against great odds to assert its dignity, than from all the arbitrary demonstrations that were ever made by workiumuen." Speaking ot the "tendencies of times," Mr. Hill said: " The mercantile exchanges in our great cities are clamoring for relief from laws which restrict their business in accordance with old-fashioned plans and notions: and they are seeking tohave their contracts rendered as free ns the air we breathe. The whole country is at last awakening to the impropriety of making our money metals a matter of merchandise by the government itself and are hoping that a patriotio Congrees soon to convene will faithfully respond with promptitude to the demands of public sentiment in tbat regard. It in not to be inferred that all the ellorts to which I refer to relieve business from existing legal and other restraints are to be regarded as commendable, or can be accepted without serious question. Those who demand that money sball be tree, that usury laws shall be abolished, and the charge for tbe use of money sball be & matter of contract between tbe borrower and the lender, can hardly expect a ready aoquiescence in their proposition." HUNTING FOR EXCUSES. Belittling Methods of Commissioner Lochren to Cut Off Pensions Exposed. Washington, Jnly 29. Ex- Assistant Secretary Bussey and ex-Commissioner Tanner give a very positive and circumstantial contradiction to Deputy Commissioner Bell's statements to the effect that sixteen employes of the Pension Bureau wbose pensions wereillegally increased in 1&S9 by Commissioner Tanner were still drawing their pensions at the increased rate in contempt of specific instructions given by Assistant Secretary Bnssey that the old and lower rating be restored. They also deny the further statement that these orders of Assistant Secretary Bussey bad been secieted and were only recently disoovered by Commissioner Lochren. Examinations of the alleged decisions discloses tbo fact that only four of them bear any specific date, five are dated August, and tbe others have no date whatever. Allot the cases except two are signed by Assistant Secretary BuHsy. one of these having no signature and tho other bis name in typewriting. When the attention of eX'Cointuissioner Tanner waa called to tbe matter he stated very emphatically that be had never seen the alleged decisions, although he remained in ofhee nntil Sept., 12, 1&9, nor bad he ever heard of them until lo-day. Ex-Assistant Secretary Bussey was seen at bis ottlce and said that no such decisions as were referred to and quoted bad over been promulgated from his office. During tbe Tanner investigation be had, on bis own motion, taken np a number of cases of pension emplorca who, he believed, be been illegally rerated, and wrote out a decision in each case. They were formulated with a view to their being shown to the President and Secretary Noble as aids in their investigation and understanding of the cases, and also with a view to tbeir subsequent official promulgation if they met with their approval. They did not meet with tho approval of the Secretary, who decided on another course of procedure, as indicated in his letter to Congress on tbo subject. Tbe cases as written up were stgnd by Mr. Bussey Mtnply, besaid. to identify theui to the president and Secretary Noble. After it had been deoided not to iftue the decisions as prepared. General Bosiey says he pat them in bis desk, wbero tbey remained for many months. On one oornsions be showed them to Commissioner Raum. who asked oerminsion to take a number of them to bis office and look them

over at bis leisure. This permission was granted and about twenty out of fifty or sixty decisions were taken away. (ten. Hanrn had no doubt forgotten to return them, and ro tbe "secreted decisions" were discovered, and tbo conclusion instantly reached tbnt large sums of money had been paid oat i jitrary to the instructions con-, tamed thorsin. General liussey stated with earnestness that the alleged decisions were not deoieions. nor were they ever copied and promulgated as such us was well understood by General Kauni and the chief oilicers of the Pension Bureau.

AMERICAN . FINANCES. Brief Summary of the Marvelous Financial Itesources of United States People. John 8. Heaion. in New York Itecor.ler. The first six months of ll'JZ saw more numerous failures oi business bouses in this country than bad ocourred in auy corresponding period. Within the same time tinancial experts have figured out the loss by tbe shrinkage of prices of specnlative securities at from $700,000,000 to 2,000,000,000, But snob figures aud facts, wuile proving the gravest necessity for wise congressional action, are very deceptive whoa taken as the measure of an actual loss. There is a brighter side to the pioture in the marvelous tinancial prosperity of the plain sixty million people who are not "on the street.7' Their accumulated resources are incomparably greater than those of the English or German people and dwarf even the famous "stocking-too banks" of France. . Begin witb the savings banks. These have, in rouud numbers, Jl.bOO.OOJ.oOO in deposits, almost entirely tbe property of the comparatively poor. New York's banks alone have 000,000.000 or thereabout. These huge deposits alone would give 830 for eaeh man, woman and child in the country, and represent, of course, a much larger average for provident ones. Even more astounding than these figures is tbe recent estimate ot United States Commissioner Carroll D. Wright that there are 2,0 0,000 shareholders in building and loan associations with assets of $900,000,000. The more these figures are examiued and analyzed tbe moro impressive they become. Barriug a few scraps and remnants, every dollar of this money, has gone into people's homes. At an average price of $1,500, 200.000 homes are represented by this sum. Tho average cost is undoubtedly lower, the total number larger. Only the extant series are repiesented in this computation. As tbe system ha I'een in operation some sixty years, prousbly tht matured series have amounted to' considerably more. Half a million homes are undoubtedly to-day tbe total result of building and loan operations. Estimate 82,500,000,000 as the presumable value of home bought by extant aud extinct buiMing and loan series, and 1,800.001,( 00 as the savings bank deposits of 'the people who in any other land would be poor. Tho story is not half told, i he farmer proprietor is in this country almost as typical as tbe tenant farmer in England, and bis wealth does not appear in these magnificent totals. Farmers do not, as a rule, deposit in savings tanks for the same reason tbat merchants do not, on account of tbe convenience of cbeok payment in their business. They are the backbone of the country, these farmers. The census can give no idea of tbe billions of tbeir wealth, but they are many. Still unrepresented are tbe village bomesacquired without the help of tho building associations. There ate many villages in tbe middle States where a very small minority of the people live in rented houses. Even in factory regions one hears of such surprising eases as Woonsocket, where nearly half the people live in their own bom'.'S. The financiers, those buzriog Hies who think they turn the wheel, are sending their families to Norway this year because living is obeap there, lint the plain people are doing very well at home, thank you. Dull times may inconvenience them, but not quite as if they were living hand to month. Of $47,000,000,000 assessed valuation of this country, of the much larger actual value of American property, theirs is the larger share. No other land can say the same. M. Zola. Harper's Weekly. Having completed the chronicles of tbe line of Kougou-Macquart, M. Zola has been saying that he bas already written too much, and (hat he wishesnow that he could do some talking. He has much that be wishes to say. He desires to devote himself for tbe rest of his life to the defense of certain social theories, but be wants to do it not witb his pen, but by word of mouth. But aUs for M. Zola! He declares that he has not the speech-making faculty. He rins that talkingand writing exeroise two different divisions of the mechanism of tho head, and that the oratorical machinery in bis head willnot work. Tho gestures. I be exaggeration ot thoughts and words, tbe magnetism, that go into successful speechifying he bas not got, and despairs of attaining. Ho may console himself witb the reflection that his experience is not novel. Speech-making dots not come by praotieo in writing books. There are men like the late editor of Harper's Weekly, who talk as well as they write, und no both with consummate skill, but it happens oftener the other wny. The orator's trick of speech are apt to be blemishes in his writing. The writer gets the habit of thinking with his pen. and finds himself when called upon to think without it too much like a cripple deprived of his crutch. '. But let M. Zola comrort himself. In these times, as betweeu oratory and literature, he hat chosen the better part. He will return to his dk presently and tiefeud the social ideas ot his ohoio in the way he knows best If he yearns uncontrollably to speak, be cm begin by lecturing, which is a thing betwoeu writing and oratory, and rerhaps after awhile be wtfl learn oratory itself.
