W Are Now Getting: 'British Gold' and John Bull U Dlmnayed. A London cable to the New York Sun, Sunday, says: The American financial situation has at length been brough i home to the people of England as a matter of the greatest personal concern. Every other European capital has been able to resist America's clamorous demand for gold. The drain is being made almost solely from London. The Bank of England had a large gold reserve when the American demands began. This is disappearing faster than ever in the history of the institution. Measures for meeting the emergency are likewise unprecedented. The bank never before made such rapid advances in the discount rate. It is quite probable that it will be necessary to make a further advance to 5 per cent, within a few days. The whole world is looking up its gold. The premium on the metal is 9 per cent, in Home and 17 per cent, in Madrid. London bankers are making preparations to compel some continental hoarders to disgorge a portion of their treasure. It would be easy to create a currency famine throughout Europe as acute as that of the past few days in America. It is already recognized that the embarassment of the United States cannot long be localized. The effect of this knowledge is a rapid modification of the opinions of both men and governments in Europe. Never before was it clearly realized that the financial world is after all only a unit, and that a disturbance in America must have its effect in Uussia and vice versa.

MOB LAW IN ALABAMA. The Peaceable Citizen of the'Sunny Mouth Go On the War Path. Clarke, Choctaw, Wilcox and Marengo counties in Alabama, have for years suffered from the depredations and outlawry of a gang of ruffians known as the Meachamites. The trouble began over a saloon opened in defiance of the local prohibition laws of that section, and operated by night only, masked men guarding the place and dealing with customers. Gradually the infractions of law were extended to horse-stealing and counterfeiting, and the gang grew in numbers until it Is supposed to number about fifty men. Their headquarters were Meachambeat, six miles from CoffeeviUc. Barn burnings and outrages of various kinds were constantly taking place, and several persons have been killed by the outlaws without provocation and in cold blood. The last outbreak of the Meachamites was at Thomasville, when they threatened to destroy the town. Following this a meeting of citizens was held and an organized force was mustered with the determination to suppress the gang. Friday night, the posse captured Tooch Bedsoe, a Meachamite, who confessed to the killing of various parties. Bodsoe was then riddled with bullet by the posse organized by the citizens. At a subsequent encounter two more of the gang were killed, and the hunt for the desperadoes is continuing in the swamps and forests of the country. The citizens are determined to kill them all before the chase is stopped. PERILS OF CHICAGO.

Five ropl Killed ia m Afadiion Street Hotel Fire. The Senate Hotel on Madison street near Fifth Avenue, a three-story structure, burned, Monday morning about six o'clock. The flames spread rapidly and cutoff the escape of guests who were caught like rats in a trap in the upper rooms. In all five people were killed and three others so badly injured that they can scarcely recover. Three of the victims one woman and two men were unknown. There were no fire escapes on the building, the law not requiring them to be placed on structures under four stories. The scenes that resulted were heartrending and terrible. The fatalities were mostly caused by a panic among the guests, who jumped wildly. The loss of life was considered small by the firemen under the circumstances.

A crusade against Chinese laborers has begun in California. Large numbers of white men are out of work while thousands of Chinese find employment on ranches and vineyards. Five hundred unemployed men at Fresno, Tuesday, held a meeting and demanded the places oi Chinese for white men. Many employers announced that they would discharge their Chinese at once and employ white men instead. There has so far been uc violence, but tho Chinese evidently will

1 have to "go."

THE EXTRA SESSION.

In the House. Friday, Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, introduced the bill for tho repeal of the purchase clause of the Sherman law. Representative Bland offered an agreement regulating course of debate. The substitute bill of the free coinage caucus was also presented by Mr. Bland. The debate was opened by Mr. Baynor, (Dem.)of Maryland, in support of tho Wilson bill. He opposed the free coinage of silver at any ratio, lio held that it is impossible to effect an international arrangement so long as the purchasing clause of the Sherman law remains on tho books. Mr. Brown (Indiana) followed Mr. Raynor in a speech favoring unconditional repeal, although he was favorable to free coinage. Mr. Bland followed Mr. Brown in a vehement speech for silver. He regretted that former friends of the cause had seen fit to withdraw their support. He reviewed the financial legislation of recent years at length. He closed by demanding free coinage and said if it was not granted that the Western Democrats would dosert the party. The Democratic party cannot be held together on a gold basis for our currency. Mr. Bland was followed by Mr. Pence, of Colorado, (Populist) and Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, closed the debate for the day. In the House, Saturday, the silver debate was continued. Mr. Wheeler. (Alabama) gave his hearty approval to the views of the President, but believed that the present business troubles were caused by threats to change the tariff laws more' than by the Sherman bill. Mr. Barter (Ohio), favored the repeal of tho Sherman law. Republicans have determined to take little or no part in tho debate on the silver question in the House. Senator Voorhecs will introduce a bill accompanied by a letter from Secretary Carlisle, permitting national banks to increase their circulation to the par value of their bonds deposited in the Treasury. Senator Hill, Monday, introduced a resolution declaring it to be the sense of the Senate that nothing but financial legislashall be undertaken at the extra session. It was laid on the table. Senator Palmer has introduced a bill for a four-million-dollar public building at Chicago on the present site. Monday, Mr. Vest (Democrat of Missouri) called up the resolution offered by him last Tuesday, in favor of bimetallism and free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver, and addressed the Senate on the subject, lie likened the Sherman act to a houseless and homeless dog. with no one to give a bone, and without a kennel to hide its dishonored head, bat declared nevertheless, that he would not vote for its repeal without a guarantee of silver as a money metal. It is believed in Washington that an unconditional repeal of the Sherman law cannot be passed in either House. The Senate will do nothing until some definite action is taken by the Rouse. The debate was resumed in the House, Tuesday. Mr. Hutchinson. Dem. (Tex.) spoke at length in favor of free coinage. In the Senate, Tuesday, Senator Walcott, of Colorado, spoke on the financial question. He held that i4laek of confidence" was not due to the Sherman law, or to silver depreciation. Even in the last few months the Sherman act had saved the country from infinitely greater disasters than it had uudergono. It had given tho country a currency backed by the credit of the government and the bullion value of silver, at least. He would vote against repeal on any conditions. Mr. Hoar spoke against free coinage and spoke sarcastically of Democratic administration of financial affairs. Mr. Voorhees reported his national bank bill from t he committee, and urged its passage. It would result, he said, in an increase of the currency to the amount of $4i.OJO,ooo or $r0.C0:,000. Objection was made by Mr. Cockerell, who said a number of Senators desired to speak on the quest ion, and the bill was laid on the table. Mr. Cockerell said he never would give his vote to a bill that proposed to give to national banks the right to regulate the paper money of the country. The silver debate in tho House was resumed, Wednesday. Congressman Bryan' of Nebraska, spoke in favor of the free coinageof silver. Mr. Bryan said: "Upon the action of this Congress might depend not only the welfare of the South and West, not only the welfare of the United States, but the welfare of humanity itself for ages to come. Tho only law making any provision for tho increased use of silver money is tho Sherman law. The President has recommended its unconditional repeal. We aro being dragged toward a universal gold standard to a realm over whose door is written: ' Abandon hope all yo who enter here." There is no such thing as an honest dollar. The most dishonest dollar ever proposed is that child of avarice and ignorance called the gold dollar, for it would constantly rise in value and cheat the debtor. The President was elected upon a platform thrice pledged to the gold and silver coinage of the Constitution. Nine-tenths of the people of tho United States are ready to sustain him in the fight, but in the face of an enemy, bold and insolent, he has ordered a retreat. There is time yet to win the battle if he wiM but order a charge. Will the party stand by the principles of Jefferson and Jackson or will it abandon its right to tho name? Will it choose life or death which?" Tremendous applause. Mr. Bryan was surrounded by nis colleagues and warmly congratulated on his great effort. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, spoke in favor of repeal, and Mr. Moses, of Georgia, opposed it. In the Senate, Wednesday. Mr. Sherman opposed the bill of Mr. Voorhees, to allow National banks to issue notes to the full amount of bonds held by them, lie said the very moment the treasury notes wei; paid on these bonds, which were not due, and tho interest on which was no

burden to the government, tho notes, he said, would be presented to the government and payment in coin demanded. That would be an unbusinesslike proposition, and would complicate the situation. Tho President of tho United States had called attention in forcible language to the fact that treasury notes issued under the act of 1810 were presented for redemption in gold, and that that caused the first falling off of the one-hundred-milliongold reserve. -The proposed amendment he regarded as a most dangerous financial proposition. Mr. Cockerell ridiculed the objections of Mr. Sherman, whom he called the great friend and patron of national banks.

IN ALL HIS GLORY.

l.arry" x93k vtll I-ead th Ticket Against McKtnUjr The Ohio Democratic convention to nominate a State ticket, met at Cincinnati, Tuesday. Chairman Critea called the convention to order. Prayer was offered by Rev. George Thayer. Gilbert M. Barger, the temporary chairman, was

I.AWKKXCE T. NEAL. greeted with cheers and made a brief address. The committee on resolutions then reported as follows: 1. We hereby approve the platform of tho Democratic uary. adopted by the national convention at Chicago. 2. The financial situation is the uufortunate legacy of Republican administration. It is the natural result of the McKiniey tariff and Sherman silver law, extravagance of the revenue of the party lately in power, and the creation and fostering of trusts and corrupting combinations by that party. 3 Wo recommend that national banks may be permitted to issue their currency to an amount equal to the par value of the United States bonds. 4. The interests of every true soldier and pensioner demand that the pension roll should be made and preserved as a roll of honor. We believe in a just and liberal recognition of claims of veterans, and favor granting them all that patriotism xmld ask, all that National gratitude would demand. The Democratic party pledges itself that the rightful claim of no Union soldier to a pension shall be denied, and the allowance of any worthy pensioner shall not be disturbed. f. We condemn the unbusinesslike administration of State affairs under Governor McKlnley; deplore the official scandals and defalcations under it and denounce tho condoning of official crimes which have brought humiliation upon our people. C. Tho Democratic party expresses its ;onfidcncc in the ability of Hon. Calvin S. Brice, of the United States Senate. 7. The country has abiding faith In the ntegrity, patriotism and exalted courage )f President Cleveland, True to the people and watchful of their interests, he will n force honest and economical methods in ;hft conduct of public affairs and secure to jvery section of the country the blessing f good government.

Clark, of Voungstown, was put m nomination without a speech. At the jlose of the roll call Neal had 40J votes, and his nomination was made by acclamation, the forces of the other candidates jhanging their votes, giving Neal on final !0iint 837.'; necessary to a choice, 405. Win. H. Taylor wa9 nominated for Lieut, Governor. A full State ticket was nomnated. Mr. Neai has been a prominent .igure in Ohio politics for many years.

HOW THEY DIED. Itvvy ot the IlarrUon County Authu?ad by William Conrad. The Conrad brothers, who dealt so hardly with the Harrison county White Laps who attacked their home, Satirdiy night, were seen at Mulbrough, KyM on Monday. They disclaimed hav.ng anything to do with their father's icath. Last Saturday morning they found theirdogs poisoned, and accordingly prepared for a raid Saturday night. They slept in a corn patch adjoining the house until 2 a. m.. Snnday morning, when they were awakened by a noise, and soon forty aaen tiled past within fifteen feet of them. "We decided not toshoot," said William Conrad, 'until we could see what they intended to do. One of them picked up a rail ind began battering in tho door. Our iiothcr and sister were dragged out, and a rope was pla'ie-i about sister's neck. We r iised up and would have shot, but we were afraid of hittng mother and sister. Finally some of the patty went on the porch one 'jf them currying a light. Two were standing between us and the light, and we thought this would be a good time to shoot. I cockd bjth barrels, which were heavily loaded and pulled one trigger. Tho light went out and three men fell. As soon as they saw the flash, the raiders shot in our dicc;ion, but we had moved to new positions and I fired again. Thei bullets continued tc whistle through the orn and then we emptied our guns into he crowd I'm sure more men were woui dM than wero kilied. I don't see how sach shot could have failed to hit fivo or si.v mon. They fired seveial times at us, but ty changing our pocitl'Ms they missed us over time Before the shooting commenced they dragged mother to the cistern and threatened to throw her in. Sam killed the man who carried the rope. After this we did not shoot any more, but ran t.p the sido of the hiU, the raiders going another way. Alter they were gone we went back to the house and looked at the fve dead men. I knew their faces, but I had never spoken to one of them. I told nother to go and tell Mrs. Jones, and have some one come and take care of the bodies. Two of them were on the porch but the others had crawled some distance away. We could have killed more of then without being hurt, but we didn't want to. Sunday afternoon we rowed across the river We sent our mother and siste:' away, and they are here in Mulbroujh." Warrants have been issued for the arrest of the Conrads, but they are in hiding and i.here is a reign of terror in the Mosquito Creek valley. The White Caps are in constant fear that the Conrads will pick them oil. The Conrads have many friends who will aid them in avoiding arrest, and it Is doubtful if they are captured without further bloodsuud.

Thm K&jah of Kaptirthalta at, tha Fair In UojaJ Kalmaitt. The Rajah Maharallah of Kapurthalia gave tho people of democratic America a glimpse of Has tern splendor. Tuesday. His Highness appeared in royal raiment, attended by the pomp and ceremonies that are tho custom of his dominion in India. The Kajah was invited by the DirectorGeneral to review a military and naval pagoant.that hud tx;en arranged iu his honor. It was a great card for tho Fair. A multitude nocked to see royalty in royal raiment, and they struggled with elbow and shoulder for points of vantage about the lagoon through which the Rajah and his suite coursed in an electric launch, decorated with native banners and rich Indian fabrics. The barge used to convey His Highness was decorated with carpets and shawls and handsome embroideries, the decorations being after tho manner of those obtaining in Kashmir. His Highness wore a military costume over which loosely flowed a robe of silk, ornamented with gold and glittering at the neck with jewels. An attendant held over him a gorgeous silk umbrella, and another servant cooled him with a great fan of peacock feathers. The frrand plaza east of t he Administration Building was black with people when the Hindoo King arrived at the landing by the Macmonnies fountain. He was heartily cheered by the crowd. A bright red carpet extending from the landing to the grand stand had been laid to protect His Highness's feet from the rough gravel walks. At the landing he was met by DirectorGeneral Davis and a ni mber of World's Fair officials. A military band had been stationed at the reviewing stand and as His Highness approached it played "The Star Spangled Banner' The Rajah was much pleased with the tune and asked the Director-General what it was, and when told expressed himself as highly delighted that one of America's National airs should be played in his honor. The Kajah was seated on a throne. By his side sat the Director-General and around them were seated World's Fair officials and foreign commissioners. The troops which marched in review were the Illinois National Guard, a regiment -iron.- Louisiana, the United States Marines, the French, Italian. Spanish and Russian sailors, the sailors from the caravels, the troops at the military tournament, the Bedouins and other organizations from Midway Plalsance. BERING SEA DECISION.

IOWA REPUBLICANS.

Tha Fin i in jr GaacraUj Favorabla to Great Britain, The Sectary of State at Wasnington, Tuesday, received a cable dispatch stating that the decision of tho arbitration tribunal was against the United States on all points Involvingexclusive jurisdiction over Bering Sea. A summary of tho decision is as follows: 1. That- Russia dM no, assert and exercise exclusive jurisdiction in Bering Sea on the seal fisheries therein, prior to the cession of Alaska to the United States. 2. That consequently Great Britain never conceded any such rights to Russia, 3. That Bering Sea was not included in the phrase "Pacific ocean" as used in the treaty of l$?5 between Great Britain and Russia. 4. Consequently no exclusive rights of jurisdiction over Bering Sea and the seal fisheries t Herein passed to the United States with Alaska under the treaty of isr7. The inference is that it is under the iast of the five points submitted to arbitration by Article VI of the treaty that the concessions as to a close season a sixty mile protected .one, and the pronibitlon of the use of firearms apply. This iifth point was tin one on which greatest stress was laid in the argument by the United States consul. It raised the question whether the United States had any right of protection on property in tho fur seals frequentintr the islands of the Bering sea, outside of the three mile limit. The preliminary abstract of the decision received is regarded hero as implying that the tribunal to a certain extent has conceded this right. In the future seals will be protected by virtue of an international agreement entered into under the award of arbitration, and not solely by authority of the United States statute. IN THE HANDS OF RECEIVERS.

The Northern Parilto Hallway Suc nmbi to She Financial Stringency. Thomas F. Oakes, of New York, H. W. Payne, of Milwaukee, and Henry C. Rouse, president of the Missouri, Kansas and 'XVxas railroad, were appointed receivers of theNorthernJPaciiic road in the United States Court, at New York, Tuesday, Vice-President James B. Williams, of the Northern Pacific, makes this statement: "In consequence of the extraordinary depression of business, the Northern Pacific Railroad Company has been forced to acquiesce in tho application for the appointment of receivers. The falling off in earnings is owing to several causes. The money stringency prevents the marketing of crops cattle and products of all kinds, consequently the road s not getting the traffic usual to this season of the year. The failure of banks has tied up money upon which we depended for cash. Payment of bond interest under such circumstances could have been carried out only by borrowing money and increasing the floating debt, which would have entailed heavy sacrifices upon the bond and stockholders of the company. Thereeeivership means, therefore, the preservation of the property and a conservation of all interests until better times.

jStti Convention at I Moinoa Nomlnatea Ticket. The Republican Stata Convention of Iowa met at Des Moines, Wednesday. After the organization was perfected the committee on resolutions reported as follows: 1. That tho monetary stringency and prevailing hard times are but the fulfill inent of Republican predictions, and are due to the known capacity of the Democratic party to distress and afflict tho American people. 2. That the prevailing conditions are not due to former silver legislation or the

Sherman law, but are the result of the threatened overthrow of the McKiniev bill and our system of protection. :i. That wo am in favor of maintaining both gold and silver as legal tender, ana that every dollar gold, silver or papershall be kept of equal value. We denounce cheap and depreciated money. 4. We endorse the administration of Benjamin Harrison. 5. We denounce the attack of the present administration upon our pension system, and assort that its pretext of economy is an attempt to destroy the whole pension system. 6. Prohibition is no test of Republicanism, Our prohibition law is strong, but its retention or repeal must be determlnad by the General Assembly, and we relegate to that body th3 regulation of the liquor traffic. At the conclusion of the committee's report a full State ticket was nominated. Gen. I. D. Jackson, of Des Moines, receiving the nomination for Governor. FINANCIAL TALK

Controller Eckels gives to the public lengthy interview, strongly advising against the hoarding of money. The situation, he says, is starvation in the midst of plenty. The volume of currency is now greater than ever before. People aro doing gjeat harm to the country by the continued withdrawal of deposits from solvent banks. They are also injuring themselves. The people can undo all the damage by acting in a sensible manner. If they refuse they ought not to complain of inconveniences which are the direct result of their own actions. It can pot have any but a reassuring effect for the public to know that from August! to 12,123,606,250 of currency was ordered printed, bonds to the amount of $12.110:-;50 were deposited to secure circulation, and currency to the amount of tt5,575,40T actually sent from the controller's office. When to this is added $20,000,OCO gold orde:"ed from abroad soon to be here, thero is good ground for hope of relief from a conditlou wholly the result of increasing fear.
