SANTO, THE ASSASSIN.

CAItNOT'H lUDEnnil PLACED on TIUAL AT LYONS. The Anarchist Drfiant nnd Tnlk of Iii Crime vrlth an Evident Feeling of Satlf4-tlou He DecUrf Thot He Hail 5o Accomplices. LYONS, Aug. 2. Cessario Santo, the assassin of President Carnot. was put on trial !n the assize court today. His removal from the St. Paul yrLson to the court was without incident. M. Breuillae, who presides over the court, is the Judge who drew much criticism Upon himself by condemning the bill for the suppression of anarchistic crime, which was recently passed by the chambers. Addressing- the jury at the opening of the assize, July 23, M. Breuillae said: "While the chamber cf deputies, acting upon, the proposals of the government, is endeavoring to relegate to the onmmon law courts certain crimes which you were oecasslonally privileged to be called upon, to try. we. in this court, by the aid of twelve honest and free citizens, summoned from the bosom of the nation, xfl'A punish the murderer of yesterday, and endeavor, according to t'ne measure of our power to prevent the peril of tomorrow." The palace of justice was today guarded in the most thorough manner against possible ebullitions of anarchism. Tlie regular police guards were reinforced by an entire battalion of infantry, and tha vicinity of the court had, in consequence much tho appearance of a. military cantonment. Soldiers wer stationed upon all approaches', and a double cordon of troops sirrounded the building- Itself. In addition, a company of infantry is posted in the entrance hail, and a platoon of cavalry surrounded tha prison van as it was driven, at a gallop, from the prison of St. Paul to the court. SlliTM f n Ditty. The soldiers on duty about the jalace of justice wore supplemental by every vr!Ky of po'U-e otThial, fr otu the lx:al gendarme to the shrewdest detective officer from the Paris prefecture. A large qua J of policemen in citizen's dres had been specially told off to furnish the audience, every seat usually available to the public being reserved for the detective, but at the last moment the program was changed, and when the doors were opened a, waiting crowd rushed in, and in a few minutes all the available .space within the court room was densely packed. Without there was brilliant sunshine end within there was suffocating heat. The only air moving was that from a hundred fans. Jn the gallery were many ladies, almost all young and gay'.y dressed, furnishing striking touches of color. Besides Cessario Santo no one, not an official of the assise police offices or soldier, will be permitted in or near the court, excepting eighty specially selected newspaper men, and these, owing- to the 1-ostponement of th trial, made purposely by the government to permit of the enactment of the anti-anarchist law, find themselves under strict control. For the first time In the experience of many of them, their "copy" will be edited by the judge presiding, and they will be directed as to what they are to put in their reports. The trial is expected to occupy the whole cf today and part of tomorrow. Th"rc will be no long speeches, the public, prosecutor confining himself Ho forty-minute addresses. The Witwe-. Some people who should have come forward will no: appear, doubtless feartng reprisals, but twenty-eight indispensable witnesses have been called by the government, and thy include ail those who remembered having spoken to Cessario as he was journeying from Ott? to Lyons, the owner of the limekiln Santo "worked in in ISM. the baker who employed him at Cette. Gen. Borius. th chief of the late president's military household; M. Rivaud, prefect of the department of the Rhone; the two men servants who sat la the rumble of the late president's carriage, and Ir. Oailleton. the mayor of Lyons, who rode In th carria;? with M. Carnot When Cessario struck ib deadly blow. The evidence of M. Artigaud. the gunsmith, of whom Cessario bought the dagger, is expected to be very dramatic. Several times before he paid for th" weapo.i t'essario tried to see whether he could handle it properly and several time before the gunsmith the assassin rehearsed his idea of how he would ?tab his v 11m. Santo propose?, practically, to def ud himself, but will have the assistance of M. Dtirbreuill. a Lyons advocate of considerable note in criminal trials. Th touches of the gruesome, alwavs noteworthy in French trials, will he supplied by the Instruments used in operating on the president, a drawing of th" carriage in whi-h the president was pea ted. Santo' dagger and the liver of the murdered president preserved in alcohol. Th" prisrr. during his life in th St. Paul prison, has found time for on regret only that he ran away after the ded. To himself his crime is Justified, creditable, yen glorious, and he has hen anxious to b tried quietly. Nobody has s-'-nt the assassin any money since he was arrested, and he has subsisted on prison fare. The leather harness, whlh was imposed upon him 1n lieu of a strait-Jacket, has not prevented him using tha pen. Ink and paper supplied to him. and with these h has whild away much of his time. Hi penmanship Is fair, but indicative of vulgarity. He has read many books of travel from the prsion librarj. Opening: of the C'oarf. Th court opened at S:1." a. m.. and the ju'lg?-presMnt was no sooner seated than he called upon the gendarmes to bring in the accused man. All the person present held their breath as the assassin of president Carnot was brought into court. The prisoner was short and looked somewhat scared as he came In, securely handcuffed to a gendarme on either side of him nnd two other g-end-arms bringing up the rear. Manto, as he marched to the dock, wore a somewhat strange ens tu me. f0at was of yellowish color and his vest and trousers were greasy. He wore a white shirt, with a turneddown collar and a gray necktie. So soon as he was in the dock, his counsel. AI. Dubreulll and M. Ivgneral, professor of Italian at the Lyons business college, the latter having been, appointed Interpreter, exchanged a fw words with the prisoner. Santo took bis seat, arul the reading of the long indictment began. The prisoner listened Impassively during the reading of this document, which contained what was supposed to be A full account of the events before the evening of the murder, ni which was believed to be complete record of Santo's Journey from Italy, giving the name of nearly every one the prisoner spoke 4o, etc., whil on his way to Lyons. Santo on.y became Interested in the indictment when it narrated the actual ded as follows: "The murderer approached the carriage, took from his poc ket the poniard, etlll wrapped In a pieoe of phper. and jlungd the Made, Mxteen centimetres long, up to the hilt Into the breast of President Carnot, trying. 'Vive la revolution.' This try was only heird by the footman, In the general confusion. 'JtevoJution.' This cry was only heard cried, Vive ranarchie.' " When the reading was finished, names Ct thirty witnesses were called, and the

presiding Judge, M. Breuillae, began to question Saaato. The judge first recited the known facts about the family of the prisoner, the latter answering. The Delimit Red. Beplylng to the questions, the prisoner said that not one of his family was or had been weak-minded. The presiding judge then turned to the prisoner and said: "Since your arrest did you write to your mother, saying that you killed the president 'from anarchist motives? Are those your words?" "Yes," replied Santos, with great indifference. The judge then recalled the fact that Santo had, as a child, figured as a poseur in the religious processions of Motta-Vlscontl. his native town, for the beauty of the prisoner, a a child, was remarkable and until he fell under the spell of anarchism, two years ago, he was much drawn to a life of religion. In reply to the Judge's questions in regard to his childhood and his taking part in religious processions, Cessario answered, mockingly: "Children do not know what they are doing," In spite of repeated efforts of the judge to drawn from the prisoner some .statement in regard to hi.s connection with other anarchists, Santo would say nothing upon the subject, being especially dumb when the Judge sought to extract from him information as to the means adopted by anarchists to communicate with each other and as to his immediate associates In anarchism. The prisoner was then questioned about his movements at Cette and other places previous to the assassination and during this portion of the trial Judge Breulliae remarked: "Your relations were always with anarchists." "Naturally." interrupted the prisoner, "I could not consort with the P.ourgeoise." The presiding judge afterward questioned the prisoner concerning now much money he had remaining after he had paid his bill at Cette, asking: "What did you do with the remaining 3 francs?" "I bought a poniard," replied Cessario defiantly. After this reply from the prisoner the weapon with whkh he killed President Carnot was brought into court and shown to the jury, tne president saying: "Take care, gentlemen. Do not touch the blade. It is a relic, which must be preciously preserved." Caesario then recounted the details of his journey from Cette to Lyons, telling how he tlnally arrived at the Palais de Commerce, where President Carnot was being banqueted. The prisoner then narrated the Incidents of the tragedy, saying: "When I was opposite the gate whence the president was about to emerge I knew that persons of mark always sat on the right sid? of the carriage. Therefore I crossed to the rUht hand side of the pavement. I had trouble in keeping in the second row of spectators, as so many people were anxi .-us to get a glimpse of the president. At ! o'clock there was a buzz of excitement as President Carnot wis entering his carriage. The people cried 'Vive Carnot,' 'Vive la Republique.' I laid my left hand on the carriage and hustled asidj a young man who was in my way. Then I made a dash at the president and dealt him a violent thrust with my digger. The blade struck fast in his breast and my hand touched his coat. As I stabbed him I cried 'Vive la Revolution." lind N Confederate". Judge Breiullac asked the prisoner What occurred at the tragic moment when he caught President Carnot'3 eye. The prisoner said: "President Carnot looked me straight in the face. I felt his deep glance the moment I p miarded him." (Sensation a;id uproar.) Replying to the question. "Did you not wish to strike elsewhere?" Cessario expl.tined. fierce'y: "I wish to strike his heart, but my arm failed me; the blow glanced." Questioned in regard to the truth of the plar.s revtalcd by the soldier, Lebranc. who is said to have been aware of the whole plot hatched at Cette, according to general belief, and as to whether he had any accomplices, the prisoner replied in substance: "I alone meditated the cup." "But." interpose. the president, "the anarchists who instigate! you to commit this foul ded were anirnited by a feeling of revenge ag.iinst President Carnot for not having p.irdoned Vaillant. Kven members of his family were threatened. Among others President Carnot receive! a document from London, written in blood and addressed: 'President Carnot, Slayer. and announcing that he would be killed because he had not pardoned Vaillant. "You appear," added the Judge, "to have obeyed your leader?." "Xrt," exclaimed Caeasarlo. "I had no leaders and no accomplices. I acted freely and of my own accord." LYONS. Aug. 3. There were few people around the palace of Justice, when the trial of Santo Caserio. assassin of lh-esi-dent Carnot. was resumed today. The court regulations and military gmrd were the same as yesterday. The orisoner was escort el into the dock handcuffed to tw gendarmes and with two gendarmes bringing up the rear. The prisoner seemed even more dertant than yesterdiy and took his seat with a mocking smile on his face. Le plane, the soldier, who was a fellow prison-T with Ca?rio at Marseilles, testified that Caserio told M:n that he intended to kill President CariKd, probably at Lynns, when the thief magistrate visited that Hty. "That is a lie." interrupted Caserio. excitedly, "f never told you or any one else anything about my plans." Le Blanc continued: "Caserio confided to me that he was designated by lot" "That is untrue." shrieked Caserio. "How untrue?" R.-die, the soldier, turning to the prisoner. "I sild to you, after you had mad that remark. 'But who would h hold a to kill President Carnot? saw him in Paris surrounded by troops and police." You answered, '!! will be chosen by lot.' " There was great ex'dtement in court while the prisoner and Le Blanc were speaking to each other. Later Lo Blanc said: "Caserio told trie that he had often seen King Humbert In the streets, but, he added, to kill him It would be necysary to have a ritle and shoot him from the street, ns he would bo no surrounded by soldiers." "That Is a lie," shouted Caserio. "I was never chosen to kill President Carnot. Moreover, absolute liberty of action prevails among anarchists." The prosecuting attorney reviewed at length all the letalis of the trial and demanded that the Jury should not hesitate to do Its duty. M. Dubrelllao, counsel for the defense, followed and made an appeal rr the prisoner. At about noon the jury retired, and after an absence of about a quarter of an hour, during which there was considerable excitement In court, the Jury returned nnd announced a verdict of guilty without extenuating circumstances. Th presiding Judge, M. Breuiilac, then pronounced the sentence of death by tha guillotine. When the death senN-nco was uttered Caserio exclaimed: "Vive la revolution sociale." The prisoner was Immediately seized by the gendarmes and "hurried toward his cell beneath the court houe. .As he lft the court room, Caserio tried: "Courage, comrades, vive ranarchie." In spite of the prisoner's defiant attitude his habitual smile disappeared from hi.s fare when the sentence of death was pronounced. The prisoner's counsel gave notice of r.ppeal, and in doinc; so asked that the presiding Judge's chirge to the Jury at the opening of the n-Mnion le entered on the records.

CHARLESTON. S. O, July 21. After the campaign meeting at Union today Clovernor Tillman, and Senator Butler met on the train going to Spartanburg and had a wordy altercation concerning the premature publication of an article on the dispersary question tr which reference had been made by the governor in hi3 speech,, so that -when Butler followed, an attempt was made by Tillman's supporters to howl him down. The senator sought out the governor in the Pullman car and upbraided him for bad faith. The governor showed no inclination to adjust the matter, whereupon Senator Butler exclaimed: "I want to say that you perpetrated a deliberate fraud today. I have come to tell you that these matters must be settled personally, and I'll meet you anywhere. You know where to find me." Governor Tillman "I know." Gen. Butler "You know you put these hoodlums up to howling me down: and you know that you perpetrated a d d lie wten you did." Cal Caughman interjected "Yes, he is a liar, g d d d him." and with this made a move toward his hip pocket. He was crowded to one side in the commotion. Governor Tillman at this juncture arose and said: "Now, Gen. Butler, you are old and one-legged." Gen. Butler "And you'rs one eyed." Governor Tillman "That don't hurt my physical power. You know I'm not afraid of you." Gen. Butler "I don't suppose you are, but you can find me- at any time." Gen. Butler made some reference to blackguards howling hint down. Governor Tillman promptly replied, shaking his finger in. Gen. Butler's face. "Yes, blackguards have full sway in this state now and you are on? of those who helped to enact the anti-duelling law about fifteen years ago, and agentleman can no longer obtain satisfaction for an insult. I'm not afraid." Gen. Butler "That don't make any difference, I'll meet yon anywhere and in any way." The two principals kept up a fire for a minute or so, wljen Gen. Butler said he did not intend to staaad any more insults about not paying his debt?, and when Governor Tillman had anything to say he knew where to find him. "You made reference to my debt?," said Mr. Butler, "and I will say that I've heard that you paid a slxteen-thousand-dollar mortgage." Governor Tillman ""Why did not you state that on the stand?" (Jen. Butler "Because I did not choose to." Governor Tillman "You know it is not so. It's a lie." Gen. Butler "I Just want to repeat to you not to presume on my age or Infirmities, and to tell you that I will meet you at any place or at any time." Governor Tillman "I am simply defending myself. You've been making insinuations in the papers and I'm tired of yeur attacks." Gen. Butler "I want you to understand my position. I have not insinuated anything about you. Why don't you deny what I charged and not go into personalities. Wrhen you want to fight tay so." Governor Tillman "I don't want to fight you." Gen. Butler "Well, refrain from making any personal remarks about me." Govrnor Tillman "You have no right to make any Insinuations as to my public life. You can't separate my public record from my public character for honesty." Gen. Butler "I don't make any Insinuations. Ther Is no use talking any more. When you have anything to say come to me first." Gen. Butler again, referred to the howling which occurred at the meeting, whereupon Governor Tillman replied: "You know I had no more to do with that than you dU." Gen. Butler "I want it understood that I'm going to have my free ppeech, if I have to fight for it. But don't put those g d d d hoodlums on me." Gen. Butler and Tillman kept up their fire for a few mlutesn longer and Gen. Butler repeated that he did not want his one leg considered, and that he did not want any innocent people brought Into any trouble. Governor Tillman said he had no right to make his insinuations. By this time Conductor Hawkins had worked his way back into the tar and peremptorily ordered the discussion to stop. He appealed to the participant? to be quiet, as he would lose his job if he permitted such things in hi3 car. Thereupon the altercation ceased. TARSNEY'S NARROW ESCAPE. One of His Former Assailants Attempts to Shoot lllm. KANSAS CITY. Mo., Aug. 3. Adjt.Gen. Tarsney of Colorado, who has been here for some days seeking to encompass the arrest of one of the gang who tarred and feathered him, came ner bein the victim of an assassin' bullet at the Union depot In this city tonolgnt. It w.38 one of the closing scenes In the dramatic play growing out of the Colorado tragedy during the recent strike and the consequent ferreting nut and arrest of J. R. Wilson, one of the loaders of th marauders. Several days ago Gen. Tarsney located Wilson near Nevada, Mo., and by a neat bit of strategy and with the assistance of Detective Peterson of Colorado succeeded in getting him to Kansas City. Wilson was positively Identified by Tarsney as beng the ringleader of the mob that tarred and feathered him. Wilson, however, declared he wan innocent. After some trouble Tarsney secured the proper requisition papers from Governor Stone and the start for Colorado wai arranged for this evening. C C. Collins, an ex-deputy under Wilson In- Colorado during the strike trouble and who ks believed to be the man who carried the feathers on the eventful night, came to town yesterday and as he afterward told a reporter, was bent upon liberating Wilson. Shortly before the departure of the evening Union Tariflc train' tonight Tarsney. Wilson and Peterson were driven from the Jail to the depot In a closed carriage preparatory to starting for Colorado. Arriving at the depot they were met by Collins, who attempted to draw Wilson away from Detective Peterson, at the same time placing his hand on his hip pocket. Peterson pushed Collins aside, but the latter renewed hi.s efforts. Finally Collins turned toward Tarsney and made a threatening motion, whereupon Tarsney reached for his revolver, but before either man could put a hand on hla revolver Peterson stepped between them and prevented what might have been a tragedy. A big crowd collected and great excitement prevailed for awhile. Tarsney and Peterson finally readied the Union PacJflo train and left for Denver. Collins had thought a ticket via the Santa Fe and left on the same train. Jmt Ilr.tr lllm Yell. Oradd "I hear you have a full-blooded Indian in class 'M. How doss he do?" Hoftmore (enthusiastically!

James B. Watson for Congress on the Fourth linllot. GREE.VSBURG, Aug. 2. The republican congressional convention of the Fourth district met in this city today. An unusually large delegation was present and with much apparent enthusiasm. They act as if they expect to elect their candidate. The convention was called to order at the Rink opera house at 10:C0 and organized by electing James E. Watson chairman and E. S. Smaher secretary. A committee on credentials, organization and resolutions waa appointe 1 to report at 1 p. m.. and the convention then adJourned until that hour. Tho eotnmltte on resolutions resolved, indorsing the Harrison administration and denouncing that of Cleveland. The leading candidates for congress were E. 10. Moore of Uearborn and William D. Wilson of Ripley, with some scattering votes for three ballots. On the fourth ballot James E. Watson of Rush was nominated 011 a vote for him of 94: V. D. Wilson, 621s. and E. D. Moore Watson, though not a candidate, as he said, made a long and firey speech, taking the chair as president of the convention and three ballots were taken. His own speech nominated him, or had that effect on the fourth ballot by the vote above given. Watson was a dark horse, run in by early morning conspirators, und all the members of tho Wilson and Moore factions are indignant at the duplicity, while everybody regards Watson's nomination as a joke. He is a beardless youth, twenty-five years old. and has only lived in the district about eighteen months, and came to Bushville from Winchester to secure good geographical positions for his race for nomination for secretary of state. Especial bitterness is felt against the five Dearborn delegates who broke the Moore strength by bolting their own county man and voting for Wilson. Decatur refused stubbornly to vote for Watson and did not change her ballot when the result was known before announced. The final motion to make unanimous was carried amid scattering noes from all over the house and when Watson thanked them for the nomination and expressed his surprise several groans greeted him from delegates who were leaving the hall. GHOULS AT JACKSON'S GRAVE. An. liisncoessful Attempt to Secure the Body eiero Suspected. NASHVILLU. Tenn., Aug. 2 Information was received today from the Hermitage, where Andrew Jackson's remains are burled, that his grave was disturbed last night by some unknown person or persons. A hole eighteen, inches in depth and three feet iiv length was dug at the head of the grave, but the parties were frightened away before they accomplished their object. The hermitage is twelve miles from this city. This place, which was the old home of Gen. Jackson, and where he was laid to rest in June, 1813, Is the property of the state of Tennessee, and has been for several years in charge of the Ladies' hermitage association. The object of this association is to preserve the home and relics of the ex-president. The remainder of the estate Is used as a home for ex-confederate soldiers. The remains of Mrs. Jackson, wife of the general, rest next to those of her husband in a tomb prepared by him. It resembles in appearance an open summer house, a small white dome supported by pillars of white marble. The tomb of Gen. Jackson bears the simple inscription: "Gen. Andrew Jackson, born March 13. 1767. Died June S. 1S45." The desecration f the grave was discovered at an early hour today, and the fact immediately reported to th Ladles' hermitage association. A long plank was left lying beside the grave. Suspicion rests upon a well-dressed negro, for whom the authorities are now looking. He went to the residence of a white man living half a mile from the hermitage yesteiday afternoon and borrowed a shovel, which he returned ihis morning. While near tha hermitage he made some inquiries about (Jen. Jackson's tomb. The Ladies hermitage association ofTlcers are at a loss to know what could be the object of the person or persons who disturbed the grave. There are only three persons in charge of the housa and grounds, and they knew nothing of the nocturnal visitors until daybreak. WELL MAN PARTY SAFE Tint the rtngnvnld Jnrl Mas Crashed by I'liok lee. CHICAGO. Aug. 2. The following special cablegram was received by the Chicago Herald today: "TROMSOE. Norway. Aug. 2. Capf. Kmil Pederson. Engineer L. Wilshlp. H. Westfalt. mountaineer and cook, and one sailor of the Chicago Herald jiolar expedition, which left this port on May 1, on the steamship Uagnvald Jarl. under command of Walter Wellmin. have arrived here on a whaler.

The crew had time to transfer the greater portion r,f their provisions, scientific instruments, dogs and aluminum boats to the ice- before the boat was destroyed. The men who arrived here today left th party after the accident, but Commander Wellman and the balance of the partv, undaunted by the loss of their vessel, resolutely set out In search of the pole, it a probable that another boat will be fitted up at once and pent to the relief of the Herald party." RAINMAKING A SUCCESS. Two Artists Cniise i Mliilnture Flood in Sonth Dakota. YANKTON, S. D., July SI. Ten days ago rainmakmg experiments were begun In thlt county, under the direction of two Citizens who vlfltM a Kansas rainmaker, obtained hl.a chemical formula nnd received instructions In, Its use. One ton of chemicals were consumed and last nljrht onei of tho most voluminous rain storms of the summer was ushered In.

G. Dunn & Co.'s "Weekly Review of Trade, whicdi is issued tomorrow, will say: "An Important change in the state nf business is near at hand. Congress will act on the tariff question one way or the other, in all probaility, within a week. If it passes the pending bill, or if it fails, in either case the definite basis for future business will enatle many to act who are now waiting. Whether the one course or the other would stimulate the greater Increase, it is certain that either would give relief from present paralyzing uncertainties, and causo some increase In business at least for a time. So much business has been deferred during the past 3ear and merchandise stocks have been so reduced that the mere approach of a decision, without certainty what It is to do, has this week encouraged large preparations for increased business. In spite of outgoing gold and sinking treasury reserves, small railroad earnings, some injury to crops and increased trouble in the coke regions, the tone and the outlook are more hopeful. "The injury' of crops by hot winds and drought, if as great as some report, will affect all interests, but at this season it is never easy to distinguish between local and general damge. Western receipts of wheat were G,4'X),254 bushels, against 4.002,Cf6 last year, which does not encourage notions of a short yield, and exports were only 1,593,5G3 bushels from Atlantic ports, against 3,1S.",4'54 last year. Corn exports were only 11S.43S bushels, against l.?03,7Sl last year, and receipts 1,9."2.S43, agalr-st 2.rv12,9?C. but It seems undeniable that the crop has sustained conFiderable injury. Cotton declined an eighth with commercial estimates of a yield exceeding 8,500,000 bales. "Sales of wool were 8,522.000 pounds, against C.742,05t) last year, and 9,330,400 the year before, and for five weeks ending with July were 3Ö.SS2.72.) pounds, against 14.43S.9Ö0 last year anJ 3S.o8j.700 in lv) It seems that a large part of the s.iles this week were to fill orders actually booked, and the rush of bei tted clothiers and dealers to get goads for the fail trader gives most manufacturers more than they can do for a month or two, though there seems to be r.o demand whatever for spring goods, an-i manufacturers are making no effort to get orders. Wool has been advanced for many kinds 1 cent and the average about one-half cent after the decline of li cents from May 1. "Recovery in iron manufacture is hindered by greater trouble in the coke region, where many of the new colored hands have quit and gone back to the South, and the strikers have decided to continue the struggle. Somewhat better business appears at Philadelphia, but the market here is dull. There is no Improvement in quantities of manufactured forms required at Pittsburg or the West, ami in general the demand for finished products is disappointing. Prices remain nearly unchanged, though with numerous small contracts for structural work beams are a shade stronger, while Bessemer iron, bar iron and wire nails are a shade weaker. "The demanl crowds all works producing low-priced shoes, while manufacturers of tetter grades are left dependent upon slender daily orders to keep their shops in operation. Shipments from Boston for the week are 25 per cent, larger than last year, and for July 12 per cent., but a decrease compared with 1S52 of 11 per cent. "Commercial liabilities thus far repirfed in failures during July amounted to $9,oic.778. of which ?4. 500.200 were of manufacturing and $4.231,370 of trading concerns, and the decrease of the month, though great in comparison with last year, is hardly as much as has been expected. The failures this week have been 213 In the United States against 43$ last year, ar 1 forty-four ia Canada against thirty-four last year." Ilrndstreet's Itcport. NEW YORK. Aug. 5. Bradstreet's tomorrow (Aug. 4) will say: "While little significance In attached to the moderate improvement In trade at San Francisco, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Augusta and Atlanta, when it Is added that clearing house totals for July report twenty-nine cities with larger aggregates than in July last year, contrasted with the June report, which contained only eighteen cities with aggregates larger than those in June a year ago, it is perceived that there are influences at work nt the Interior favoring an Increase in the volume of business. "Wheat has advanced In sympathy with com in increased orders and reports of crop damage from abroad, while corn's sharp advance is due partly to exaggerated notions cf damage from drought. There Is little likelihood of the corn crop being smaller than in either of the two preceding years, notwithstanding our advices of 2" per cent, damage in Kansas and 40 per cent, in Nebraska.

&v'"'r' (From the Secretary of the International Bimetallic League.) BOSTON. April 12. 1S94. Sly Dear Sir I have to thank you for the copy of the pamphlet called the "World's Silver Question," which you have been so polite as to send me. I need hardly say that I have read it with interest and profit. I know of no one who has so luminously developed the history of recent coinage, and your work ia a storehouse of information not easily to be found elsewhere. For my part I do not and cannot understand how any human being can read such, a statement as yours and not be coavlnced; to me it seems absolute demonstration. As to remedies you propose they are, of course, the question in debate. For my part the advantages of an International agreement seem so great that to obtain cne Is worth a preat sacrifice. Very truly yours. EPwOOKS ADAMS. J. P. Dunn, Fsq., Indianapolis. FIFTY THOUSAND IN GOLD Til VT AMOl NT STOLKX IN TO AN SIT I'ltO.U NUAV YOKIv TO PA IIIS. The Cask of Gold, One of n Number Shlppe.l on the lai Touralue Yfirloiin Theories, lint Tim Far .No Clew to the Guilty Parties. PARIS. July 31. The police are investigating what is probably one of the most remarkable robberies on record, and it is believed that he police authorities of tho United States will be asked, if they have not already been so requested, to take a hand in the investigation. In some unaccountable manner, a cask of gold from Now York, valued at C.O'.'O, has been stolen whilo in transit from Havre to Paris. The French line steamship LkH. Touraine, Capt. SanUlli, left New York on July 21 for Havre, with forty casks of American gold on board. valued at J2,000.'H" and consigned to various concerns. Shj arrived here July 2".. The forty casks of gold are believed to have been safely landed at Havre, and they are also said to have been placed, complete, on board the train running between Havre and this city. But when the precious casks were counted upon arrival, there were only thirty-nine of them, one cask containing J.jO.OoO in American gold had by some means disappeared. The disappearance of the cask of gold has given ri?e to a number of police theories, the strongest beinR th- jT"ld was followed from New York by expert thieves, who patiently a waited their chance to abstract one of the casks. The police, pending the termination of their investigation, will not give any particulars concerning the robbery, but it is believed that several persons were concerned in the theft, for the casks of gold must have weighed nearly two hundred pounds, and ev-3 a very strong man could not have curled such a load alone for any grat distance. Among the theories is one that tho thief or thieves hid himself or themselves In the tar In which the gold was subsequently placed, and that while on their way to Paris one cask of gold was thrown out of the train and the robber or robbers Jumped ftcr It. The fact that only one cask of gold was stolen would poem to Indicate, according to another theory, that only one person was concerned in the abstraction of the cask of gold from the train, but the theories are many and the faets made public are very few, not even the name of the con8 1 r neos of the gold being made known up to the present. Although it is positively asserted that the cuk of rreclous metal was stolen while on Its way to the city yesterday, there are people who ask if a mistake may not have been made In the counting of the casks at Havre and whether the K'd was not obstrneted on board Ua Touraine. To this the steamship company's officers reply that it Is impossible for thieves to get at the gold 011 board tdilp, so closely is It guarded, in addition to the fact that the small hold In which It Is sealed is situated In the most secure part of the ship. In any vase a most remarkable robbery has been committed, nnd the police of France are busily tngagetl In an attempt to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the $.'il.U0 cask of gold. The consignees of th cask of gold stolen while in the transit beffceon I5pyti and this city are Lazatd Freren & Co., of Paris and New York. NEW YOUK. July 31.
