Agent A CLANDESTINE ORGANIZATION. Masons of the District of Columbia Warned to Withdraw from the Cerneau Bodjr. WAsniNOTON,' July 23. Tlio controversy 'which has been general among the Masonic fraternity throughout the country respect ing the Cerneau Scottish Kite, has culmi nated here in the issue of an edict by Har rison Dingman, most, worshipful grand master of Masons of the District of Colum bia, under date of July 25, pronouncing the Cerneau organization clandestine, and warning all members of that rite that they are liable to discipline from the Grand Lodge, unless they at once withdraw from said Cerneau body. The main reason for the edict, aside from other questions aris ing in the Scottish Rite controversy, is stated to be that the Cerneau organiza tion has established relations of amity and Masonic correspondence with the Grand Orient of France, the governing body of Masons in that country, which is under the ban of at least every English-speaking Grand Lodge in the world because the Grand Orient has stricken the name of God from its rituals. The Grand Lodges of this country, it is said, have an additional fTievauce against the Grand Orient of 'ranee because the latter persists in recog nizing the negro Grand Lodge of the United States. Grand Master Dingraan di rects that all visitors in the District of Co lumbia shall bo required to state beforo ad mission that they are not members of tho Cerneau organization. The meeting of the Cerneau organization in any Masonic hall is also prohibited. The Richest Colored Woman Poisoned. ( Nashville, Tenn., Jnly 2S.

Chicago, July 28. The storm which .swept across tho prairies and struck Chi cago last night was without a parallel in 'tho history of this section of the country. The records of the local signal service sta tion show nothing approaching last night's deluge. From 6:o0 to 9:30 four and twelve one-hundredths inches of rain fell. With out going into figures, it may be stated that the volume of water which fell insido of the city limits would make a lake on which could be floated the greatest navy in the world. It is impossible to estimate tho .damage with any degree of accuracy. Hardly a house iu the city escaped tho . fnryof the6torm." Bnildiucs were blown aown, basements IJooued, plate-glass win dows shattered and valuable shade-trees uprooted or broken by the fury of the gale. It is safe to say that tho loss will reach in to the hundreds of thousands. Four untiuished brick houses at Rock well and Sixteenth atreetM wprn hlnwn . down last night while the storm was at its neignt. anortiy oetore o'clock the storm struck the row. They swayed for a few seconds, and then fell. About fifteen min utes before the crash camo a pedestrian was seen to take refuge from the rain iu one of the houses, but it is thought he es caped the falling brick and timber. There were no workmen in the buildings at the time, and it is not tbought that any ono was injured. The houses are wrecked completely, nothing but the founda tions remaining, with a pilo of ruins on top. A fifth house, similar in construc tion to the other four, and adjoining them, remained standing. The wrecked houses were two stories hfgh, with basement. The outside walls and roofs were completed, but none of the inside work was done. The houses will be almost a total loss. Charles Shaffer, a boy six years old. who lived with his parents at S333 Yorktown street, was killed, last night, by lightning during the storm. He was sitting by tho fire-place at his home, when lightning struck tho house and, going down tho chimney, killed the lad instantly. Another Hood In Vf est Virginia. Petersburg, W. Va., July 28. Telephone reports from above say there was a terrible rain and flood Friday night in the upper waters of the little Kanawha. Reports from Orantsville Bay Calhoun county was devastated, and crops, fences and houses were washed away during the night. Sov eral lives are. reported lost. Particulars are hard to get. The river at Grantsville is re ported to bo fifteen feet and rising rapidly. Reports from other sections along tho little Kanawha stato that a fearful storm oc curred during the night and much property was destroyed. Middle island and all the big creeks above, in Pleasant county, are reported rising rapidly. Bear run, Ritchy county, suffered terribly. The loss is re ported at not less than G50,000. MITCHELL IX EUKOPE. KUraln's Trainer Talks About the Recent Mill, and Says He Wants to Fight Sullivan. London", July 28. Mitchell, the pugilist, was interviewed at Queenstown to-day on tho arrival of the steamer on which ho is a passenger. He said that Kilrain's defeat was duo to shirking of training, and to overmuch confidence in his ability to beat Sullivan. Donovan, said Mitchell, had no right to throw up the sponso. Though Kilrain's second, ne was Sul livan's man. The report that Kilrain was severely punished was rubbish, as he was in better form tho day after the light than on entering tho ring. Sullivan wa9 worse disfigured than Kilrain. Mitchell denied the truth of tho reports that he had had a quarrel with Kilrain, and said that he and Kilrain were good friends. Ho eluded tho detectives by changing his routes and by disguising himself as a cler gyman, a farmer and a tramp. Mitchell paid he was ready to fight Sullivan any where.

Facial to the Indianapolis Journal Bloomfield, Ind.. July 27. For two or three weeks past the Democracy of Greene county have been preparing to bolda taritf- refonn meeting at this place. The meeting was held to-day, about 5,000 people being present. Senator Voorhees was the princi pal speaker, and delivered an address an hour and a half in length. Among other things, tho Senator said: Ladies and Gentlemen This meeting is a frrand surprise, not only to me, but doubt ess to yourselves; in what is emnhatically an olf year, with no politics going ou there must be some mightv moving cause in tho public mind to gather together so many .thinking people as are here to-day. I came into your midst thirty years ago, when we were young folks together, and now, as wo are growing old together, 1 come aain to ,6peak to you in tho same tonoaud on the same line of principle that has always guided mo in my intercourse with you. You have been faithful to me m tunes gone by, and the best I can say to you is that I havo aimed faithfully to represent the interests of the laboring peoploof your county of Greene, whether as your immediate representative in the lower brauch of Congress or as your Sena tor for now many years past. I have come her to talk to you shortlynot at great length, because thero are others to succeed me but whiloldo engage your attention I intend to apeak of thoae things that aro near and doar to tho hearthstones and lire sides of every man, woman and child with in the reach of my voice. 1 am here, my countrymen, to say to you and to tho country that a government which takes from oue portion of its citizens in order to enrich another class dou't deserve to exist on the face of tho earth applause!, and will not long exist unless the people con sent to become slaves. What does the proposition imply! It implies a govern ment appropriating your toil, your ener gies, your privations find your sorrows, in order to enrich, and aggrandize, and pamper the moneyed, prosperous and happy class of neonle net A9id and favored by your government. Why, mv fellow-citizens, -r-.1 K V, ., .1 ...1 .your luioiuuiuis, wucu iu.vy uum-u mo most powerful government on earth, wrote the declaration of their in dependence, and achieved it by the sword, had not a causo as strong as now ex ists in the legalized robbery and plunder which is taking place upon the tax-paying masses of tho United States, as 1 will show 3ou beforo I am done. Tho Declaration of American independence was a mero decla ration against a theory and a principlo of wrong, rather than against an actual griev ance. You have au actual grievance to in llame your animosity and nostility to tho present stato of allairs. JL intend -to -talk. very plainly this afternoon. I havo come hero for no other purpose. I am hero to say to you that the greatest danger that menaces the American Repub lic is what is known as the money power. It has various instrumentalities, but one of its greatest instrumentalities at this time is the complicated, wide-spread, far-reaching, grasping, insatiate system of a high protective tariff. One of the instrumental ities of the money power in times gono by, in the greenback days, mv friends, was to contract tho currency and drive out of ex istence your money; so that tho men who bud money would havo more pow er by virtue of their xnonev. They destroyed tho silver, which I helped restore. They mado times hard; that is, they made times hard for you but good for the money-lenders and the mone3' chaugers, the monopolists of money. That is one of the means of increasing the power of money, or the moneyed power. You old men who eit here, 6ome of ycu to whom I rejoice to speak again, can remember well when there was but one man in the United States who was ever spoken of as being worth four or live million dollars. Forty years ago there was but one man spoken st in the current history of the timo as worth rive million dollars, and that was John Jacob Astor. To-day there aro thousands worth more than that, and a large number worth fifty millions; a large number worth one hundred millions, and corporations, embracing individuals, mado out of individuals, representing thousands of millions, and all the power such corporations imply. They are sweeping forward with a strength that nothing seems to be ablo to resist, that nothing seems to be able to check. The men who have these large fortunes, who overshadow the land with their great cor porations, their monopolies, their trusts, their combines and their syndicates do they labor? Do they workt Is the sweat ever seen on their faees? They toil not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon in all his glory never had half such a bank account as they have to-day. ILauchter and ap plause.l Tho great Lord of tho uui verse decreed that in tho sweat of your faces you should eat your bread. That is right. But the trouble is that the millionaires and money monopolists eat their bread in the sweat of 3our faces al ways. They don't eat their bread in tho sweat of their faces. They eat it in the sweat of your faces. You pay for it. You remember tho old illustration I sometimes indulged in a quarter of a century ago, when I traveled from township to town ship in your glorious county, and told you then that the farmer paid for all. Who else pays except youf These men who have amassed immense fortunes never sweat, never toil, nover spin, never weave. They not only eat their bread out of tho sweat of your faces, but they build their palaces out of the sweat of your faces; they build their great corner lots out of the sweat of your faces; they furnish their homes in more than Oriental luxury and splendor out of the sweat of your faces. They have their gilded yachts, pleasure ships, etc., to go down to the sea m, and it is all out of the sweat of your faces. It is the old story of the King sitting with his circle of cour tiers and professors around him, and the soldier was saying "I light for all;" the doctor was saying, "I cure all;" the lawyer was saying, "1 plead for all;" tho preacher was saying, "Ipray for all;" tho king was saying, "1 govern all," while away down yonder in the corner, with his foot oh. a shovel and his hand on a spade, was a little farmer, who said, 'Yes, and I pay for all." Applause. I If I have made that il lustration in your hearing before, you will pardon me, you old men, oecauso there has been a generation come up since then, and they have not heard it before. ILaughter.J But you must be rooted and grounded and well founded in the fact that the wealth of the world, whoever has it, wherever it may go, at last comes out of thoso who till tho soil and make things grow, who reap, and mow, and plow, and sow. I was born in your ranks, and I know whereof I speak. Ah, my fellow-citizens, this money power is sweeping forward, and is destroying tho very holy of holies of your government. It is tainting every branch of the public service like leprosy, and unless it is stopped, unless steps aro taken to check it, it will as certainly overthrow this government as the corparations of Home and of Greece and other countries in the past overthrew them. During the war, my friends, you know that besides the tariff on imported goods there was an internal revenue tax on almost everything; there was an internal revenue tax on the great corporations, on the rail roads; co. railroad bonds there had to be stamps; on conveyances there had to bo stamps; on circuse.i. steamboats, theaters, doctors, lawyers, all had to pay a stamp tax, and pay a license to do business; museums, lotteries, all paid a speciho tax; and then there was a tax on incomes. In comes are generally enjoyed by very'poor Eeoplc. ILaughter. Incomes are enjoyed y rich people. We had an income tax at t.iat time, and salaries of members of Congress were taxed 8 per cent. The President's salary of r,000 then ($."30,000 now) wa taxed. Jndges of tho Su premo Court, Cabinet otlicers, they all paid an income tax, ami it yielded a large sum of money during tho timo that it stood on the statute book. But after a while, when the war was over, some ono savs, the taxes ought to bo reduced. "Yes," said some Ke publkan leader, "I thiuk so, too. Well, wher shall we begin! I said let us begin bytakin the tax off of the shirts that some old fellow down in Green county wears; let us commence on the stockings, and underwear, and calico of some of tho good women down there," "No," said the Kepublican leaders, "let ns first take tho tax off of incomes;" and away back there I looked at the record the other day tho vote caine up, and I was so thankful to 6eo that I was in my seat. I was not out play ing base-ball, but I was in mv seat, and I voted on the ayes and noes that as lone as they kept the increased tax on the woolen ware and blankets that wrapped up the new born babes, and on tho horse- ahoes, and horse-shoo nails, and tho wagon tires and tho plow-shares that I would not vote to takoa cent off tho in comes of tho rich. (Applause. And I am there on the ayes and noe, voting to keep tlio tax on the incomes until thoy took it off something else as well. I did not prom ise that I would take it off of incoms then, if they had; but what do you suppose was the r3son giveu in tho debate why the in come tax ought to bo repealed? They said it could not bo collected. WhvT I asked. Because Jay Gould and the Vanderbilts and all the big rich men with big incomes would swear lies, and we could not rind out what their income was; that it promoted perjury. I said, "Let them commit perjury and go to hell likewise." Applause and cries of 4,Hit him again'J 1 am an orthodox believert my friends, and I don't use that expression in a profane way; bnt 1 do believe a good old-fashioned hell is necessary to punish those fellows, men who commit perjury a good old-fashioned hell for Jay Gould and that class of men, to punish them for committing perjury by which to avoid their Just burden, and to lay their bunion on you instead of carrying it themselves. That was the argument giveu for nbolishing the income tax a tax that could be more easily paid, was more justly laid, than any other tax ever in tho history of this government. Away went a hundred millions in that way. You fellows buckled down to the plow handles all the harder to make it up. You Kepublicaus down hero iu Greene county I know yon, too; you aro good people, but. Oh, Lord, how et you aro in your way: how lixed you are in your prejudice. You would rather pay $3 for an article that you. could buy for ono than to give up that Dan Voor hees; and Tom Cobb and Andy Hum phreys and the rest of us havo been right all the timo and you have been wrong. Laughter aud Ap plause That is all right, I like tinn. fixed men; bnt, gentlemen of tho Kepublican party down hero iu Greene county, farm ers, let mo tell you that the times are get ting sl litilo too hard and you aro too far away from the war and its prejudices to havo "nonsense t)f that kind much more. You hid better just come down to a busi ness view and say, "What is best for mo and mine I propose to do. I don't want to work .iny more than 1 have to; I don't want to pkw an hour later every day for Jay Gould'and Carnegie and that class of peo ple; I want Sallio and the children to havo what I earn, and I don't want to havo to pay these enormous tariff rates that don't go'into the government treasury but go in to the pockets of the rich." Whyrgeutlemen, I was reading this morn ing, aud the cable dispatches from London say that tho bill giving to the ranee or Wale- 'ie Queen's great, fat, booby boy of forti A. lit or fcrtv-nine years of -age, who expect to bo king some day too bill passed Parliament last night to givo him 8200,000 a year, about, and why? Because his baby girl is going to get married, and that is given to him to enablo hirato dower her properly. She is to marry the Earl of Fife, and he only has an incomo ot about a million and a half a year he is poor, yon know and so they gavo the Prince of Wraics last night a gratuity, a largess, a bonus, a donation, a tribute to royalty of about $200,000. all on account of his daugh ter. Now, my old friends, thero are thou sands of men engaged in manufacturing iron, steel, woolen goods, buttons, calico, fabrics in all their forms in the United States; and you people here, who work for your bread, and tho other people of the United States who are liko you, pay live times as much a year as Parliament voted to that worthless Fiece of royalty last night. Carnegie gets rom you moro than a million a year. American people, the working people, ho gets that from you, for which he does no work; he dos no toil, but the prorit on what he makes out of the labor of men poorly paid and poorly clothed will amount to more than a million a year five times as much as the British Parliament gave to the Prince of Wales last night; and yet tho EagHsh people aro kicking up a pretty good row about it. They say, something for nothing they have got tired of. How is it with you down here, my Repub lican neighbor and friend? Are you tired yet? There is nothing but sunshine and kindness in my, heart towards all of you. Are you not tired of paying 80 per cent, on every hort-e-shoe, on every wagon, tho iron in them, on your reaper, on your mower, on yonr plow, on your trace-chains, on all the buckles and clasps, and everything that goes into use about the place, pitch-forks and everything else? Are you not tired of paying 80 ber .cent, more on them than you could buy them for if the tariff did not exist? Or do you love that sort of thing? When will it come to an end? When will you weary of it! Why, I think tho time will come when you would rather a good deal rather tako a pitch-fork and pitch Kepublican poli ticans and Republican leaders out of your way than to pitch hay in your meadow. Applause. The Republican leaders aro mortgaged, and the mortgage is foreclosed to tho money power of this country. They cannot turn a wheel without them. Sometimes men say to me that the Republican party will get out of their present trouble by re vising tho tariff and lowering tho rates of duty. It cannot, will not, and never will. And why? Because the men who havo mado these large fortunes aro to-day de- E ending upon this legislation, and they old John Sherman, Blaine, Harrison and all of them right up to the rack with a lash over them, saying, "Give us our protection, our protective tariff, by which wo rob tho neoole of millions, or we will break yonr neck at the next ballot-box; givensourmill ions out of this legislation, or we will not givo you any millions with which to carry the next election; help us rob the people and we will helpyou pollute the ballot-box." Applause. Their hearts are with the rich; their concern is with the lord of millions; they were distressed that the capital of the country should bo called on to meet any part of the expenses of the government, and nearly twenty years ago they rushed to the rescue of the monopolists, the usurer, the money-changer, such as were scourged out of the temple of our blessed Savior nearlr nineteen hundred years ago. There wero Republican leaders there applause, and they were all engaged in building up a plutocracv, in making money, and they thought that Christ was a leveler, that He was disturbing the ancient order of things, and denounced him, I expect, as a commun ist. 1 said the other day at the breakfast table at tho Terre Hause Honte, with some gonial Republican friend, that if I had my way with men like the Carnegies, that Ereyed upon the land and sucked people's lood like leeches, I would hang them. He seemed shocked about it. I was not, at all. They are pnblio enemies; worso than the Tories were during tho Revolution. What is there in this doctrine of protec tion? Farmers of Greene county, where and how are you' protected; wherein are yon protected? I had a scrap-book last year; it had a few figures in it, and, al though they may be old, they are Uke tho Christian religion, and, nevertheless, they are true; and if you say that I am restating old facts, I tell you the story of the Savior is old, and if it is a reason why I shall not spek of facts that you all have beard, it is a reason against continuing to preach, for 1 have not, for many years, heard a preach er that conld tell anything absolutely new about the old, old story; and so on the sub ject of the tariff, my friend; old it is, go ing line upon line, precept upon precept, word upon word, lesson upon lesson, until nt last the mill-dams, as it were, of preju dice, and party rancor, and hate will have to give wuy to tho people's own interest. You are paying something for nothing; something to enable a monopolist to havo all the trade without rivals in the trade; to keep out competition; for when the man from the outside does go into competition, and pays the tariff for the privilege of doing so, he has to put that into the price of the article before he sells it, and then the fellow who has the American article can put it in for that price, and he cannot undersell him. There is where it all is. That is the reason all tho wealth and the nabobs are on that side, and that is the reason nil you men ought to bo on the other side. There ought not to be a single voto given the Republican party in Greene county; and if you vote lor your own profit you would not vote that way. Why, I think sometimes of organizing a movement amongst tho women. The intelligent women of this country understand this subject, and the time is not far distant when the women will not marry, and a woman who is married will not live with her husband if he wants to pay two or three prices for things just for the sake of eome lord of millions. 1 don't wish to dis turb domestic life down here; I don't want to break up any families; but what would you thiuk of your husband, if he was a candid man and an honest man, and he should come home in the evening and say to bis wife: "I was in town to-day, and bought some lumber to build my barn, and I paid about 105 for a hundred dollars' wortb of it. The other $65 goes to some great big Republicans up here in Michi gan." I think I know what tho wife would say. His good wife would say: "Have you lost your senses? What is the matter with youf What aro yon trying to give me!" That is just precisely what you are doing. Now, when in furnishing yonr parlors iu your house you pav on carpets and rugs from 49 to C7 per cent moro than they aro worth iu order to protect the men who make carpets and rugs from having a rival come in from other countries and 6ell you a carpet at 40 aud C? cents on tlio dollar cheaper now, which do you liko best, to pay for a carpet $1.07 or 1? Tho dollar man votes tho Democratic ticket; the $1.07 man votes a crazy ticket applause; that is what he does. On ajlyour house furniture you pay J5 per cent- An old fel low comes home and says, "Mother, I bought some bedsteads to-day: tho children are growing up, Sarah and Tom, and we needed more, and I just turned in and bought some; the whole lot was worth about 5100, but I paid $185, just because want to uphold the Republican party, and I think it is best to do that, don't youf' Tho old woman would look arouud for the shovel aud tongs. and s.iy, "You better get out of this neighborhood." She would say, "I can run this ranch better than both of yon." You havo heard mo say some thing about flannels. You know 1 sometimes philosophize on iianncL Ladies and gentlemen, flannel wraps the world, from Infancy to old age; from when tho now born babe comes into the world and first smiles in its prostrate mother's faco until tho old father goes out with his thin and trembling shanks, and his hands cold and clammy, all the way along llaunel is the necessity of human life, in all lands this side the equator where civilization prevails. When I think of these robbers standing over the cradle of infancy and at tho grave of the father over eighty, keeping their clutch on the covering on tho old mother as she wraps her flannel shawl around her in the winter time, there is causo for such re sistance as comes onlv to those who intend to demand their rights. Tho timo will como when tho meu who uphold such a system as this will have it to answer for. I am not a free-trader, but I am for get ting as near there as can be done with duo regard to the revenues of the government, and these men who are pressing their de mands upon flannels, upon salt, upon iron, upon the supreme necessities of life, are raising the people against them, and sooner -or later they will be torn to. pieces; they will be confronted and destroyed. Tax upon flannel! Applause. Ah, my fellow- citizens, let us see a moment more. No,' I will not read more. Yon have the whole grasp of the question. They told you last fall that it was necessary lor you to voto the Republican ticket in order to continue or to restore prosperity to this country. They said tho re-election of Mr. Cleveland would indicate the downfall of your pros perity. They lied to you by wholesole, re tail and entail. Laughter. Their false hoods were stupendous, monumental, sten torian, stalwart and mansard-roofed! Where is the prosperity that has come to youf Gentlemen. I have been examining and I have the facts by the official reports. The farmers of Ohio. Indiana, Michigan and Illinois have looked up those things. The four greatest Northwestern States are to-day mortgaged, each one of them, to farm loan associations for more than one hundred millions in each ono cf the States. Forty-seven per cent, of all the land in Michigan is mortgaged. Nearly every other farm is mortgaged. There is not a State under the flag to-day in which the cry is not heard for bread; give us bread, and this is the protection that Harrison's election gave them! Oh, my Republican friends, go home and bend your knego in prayer and ask Almighty God to fofjive you fellows this time, and vou will Co so no more forever. Applause. The fanners loaded with debt for borrowed money to get along with, tho wage-laborer gnawing the crust of charity; these are the blessings of protection. Oh, the falsehoods which were told last fall; they have come back like scourges, with which to whip tho rascals naked out of tho world, and while I am spared I propose to do my part of tho whipping. The Senator then spoke of President Har rison's Indiana appointments, claiming that the soldiers had been slighted, and concluded with the following words: But the great question with the men and women of Greene county is whether you want to pay anybody else's taxes besides your own. The great question is whether you want to pay tribute. If you do, avow yourselves willing slaves, for that is what you are. A man who willingly works for another man without pay, bnt gives his toil for nothing, whether the African snn has burned his skin black, or whether Arctic regions havo bleached white, he is a slave, and might as well accept the name; bondage is on him. The yoKe of bondage is on him, and the yoke of bondage to-day, under the present system of tarifi, is upon you all, upon all of you; and you are asked, and you have yet a chance to rise and shake it off. My fellow-citizens, I will not trust my self to talk to you abont my personal feel ings toward you. Much has passed over my head. Many labors, many anxieties and bitter trials, but I am thankful to Him who rules in the households of nations that we have been spared to look each other in the faco once more. I have tried in my feeble way to lay before you thoso great questions which are of importance to you, and explain to you where I expect to stand and be found battling until yon hear of me laid at rest in my old homo at Terre Haute. Applause. The President Bandar at Deer Park. Deer Pari:, Md., July 23. At 10 o'clock this morning President Harrison, accom panied by Attorney-general Miller and ex Senator Davis, drove to Oakland and at tended the Presbyterian Church. The news got abroad that the President was coming, and the church was crowded. Secretary Windom and Mr. Halford represented the Washington official family at the Hotel Chapel, where they heard a sermon by Rev. George Morrison of Baltimore. Mrs. Har rison's father made the closing prayer. President Harrison rested in the afternoon, and in the evening he strolled to tho Davis villa with Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. McKee. The Attorney-general accompanied him home, and spent the evening at the White House cottage. Troublesome Strikers. Streator. I1L, July 28. The mine of tho Star Coal Comnanv. located at Kangley, two miles north of Streator, was the seen of a riotous demonstration last evening. The company has been making great elibrts to work its mine, and about fifty men have been at work for the past week. Last night a large crowd of men and women sur rounded tho shaft and prevented the men from coming up for abont two hours. A numbej of deputy sheriffs were sent over and everything is now quiet, although trouble may yet rtsult if the attempt to run the mine is persisted in.

Ecmort of TYr In Eur op Canting Capital ist to Send Their Money to America. Speciil to the Indlis&volU Joornu. Washington, July 2S. An English solic itor who has been in Washington for some weeks, and vrho is connected with some of the moneyed syndicates which are creating so much talk in the newspapers at the present time, explained to-day the reason why so much foreign capital is seeking in vestment in tho United States just &t pres ent. "In tho lirst place," he paid, "this syndicate is not operating with English capital altogether. Money from all sec tions of the continent pours into London for tho purpose of being invested in American enterprises. Yon ask the reason for it. Well, the truth is that there is a widespread impression throughout the money-centers of Euror that the whole continent ift drifting in the direction of war. This idea is growing rapidly, and is causing a withdrawal of money from enter prises throughout Europe. It explains the reason for the great industrial depression which has prevailed for some time, and which seems to bo on tho increase rather than upon the wane. Capitalists are looking for something which will l safer than European stocks when this time shall come, and they are sending their money to thi side of tho Atlantic in order to be prepared when the crash comes. This explains the talk so often heard now of the English syndicates investing in all 6orts of American enterprises." It was learned from another source that the solicitor himself had made prepara tions for heavy investments for his clients.

DENOUNCED AS ABSURD. Capt. Meredith Say It Would Da ImpoMl. ble to Print Unauthorized Treasury Notes. Special to the IcdlanaDOlls Journal. Washington, July 28,Captain Mere dith, Chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is greatly annoyed over the sto ries which were printed last week to the efiect that a plot had been discovered to print off a lot of government securities from th plates in his bureau. Said Captain Mere dith this afternoon: :'Tho story was printed vith a scare head in all the West era newspapers, anl the following morning a denial was published in two lice. Tho yarn was an absurd and impossible ono from the first, and I am surprised that tho managers of the Associated Press permitted themselves to send it out without making some attempt to hnd out whether or not it could be true. The fact is that thero is such a perfect system of checks in the bureau that such a thing as an unauthor ized issue of notes or securities is impos sible. Each scrap of paper is counted rifty two times, and every particle mnst be ac counted for. The plates are checked in nnd out of the vaults, and every tfress is locked as soon as it is stopped. The regis ters tell exactly how many sheets each press has printed, and no oue is allowed to leave the building at night until the re ports show that everything is all right. A conspiracy to print olf notes would have to take in nearly every one about the bnildiug, and would come to nothing then. No. the Bureau of Engraving aud Printing has too many safeguards around it to make such a plot as that described possible for a day." m WEATllEK AND CROrS. The PastTTeek Decidedly Favorable for Corn, 'Which la Growing Finely. Washington, July 27. The week ending July 27 was warmer than usual throughout the Gulf and South Atlantic States, and slightly cooler than usual in the northern States and Ohio valley. The departure from tho normal temperature xras very slight in the Northwest and along thft Atlantio coast, while the average daily temperature in the lake region was from to 5 below normal The thermal condi tions for tho season, from Jan. 1 to July 27, havo not changed materially since the last report. About the normal temperature has prevailed in the Mississippi, Ohio and lowerMissouri valleys, and the lake regions. It has been cool and the season is retarded in tho cotton region east of the Mississippi, while in southern New England and the extreme Northwest the season is from ono to two weeks in advance. There has been an excess of rain during tho week along tho Atlantic coast from Maine to South Carolina, and over the cot ton region from the Atlantic coast west ward to north Texas. Moro rain than usnal also occurred in southern Dakota, and over the greater portion of Nebraska. Kan sas and Colorado. In the principal corn States of the central valleys, and also tho spring wheat region of Miunesota and D& kotftfethe rain-fall for the week was less than1 usual, hut generally amounted to about one-half an inch, except in some sec tions of Illinois and Missouri, where tho rain-fall exceeded three-quarters of an inch. Onlv light showers occurred in the interior of Kew York, in Pennsylvania, northern Ohio and southern Michigan, but about an inch and a half of rain fell in western Penn sylvania last night. The heaviest rain-fall occurred in northern Georgia, where the total amount for tho week exceeded four inches, while from two to three inches of rain occurred over the greater portion of the cotton region, except in Texas, wher no Tain is reported, and in the extreme southeast portion of Alabama and Georgia, where there was considerably less rain than usual. The rain-fall for the reason contin ues in excess generally throughout the Middle aud Sonth Atlantic States, and from tho Texas coast northward to the Missouri valley, in western Illinois, eastern Wis consin and northern Michigan. While th recent rains oyer the East uulf States, and thence northward to the lake region, indi cate an excess of moistnre for the season, the deficiency in rain-fall over this section generally ranges from 4 to 10 inches for the season, or about SO per cent, of the normal rain-fall has occurred over the East Gulf States, and leRS than 0 per cent, over tho States of the Ohio valley. In the extreme Northwestern states, including Minnesota and northern Dakota, only about tJO per cent, of the normal rain-fall has occurred. The weather during the week was de cidedly favorable for crops in the spring wheat regions of Minnesota and Dakota, where a good harvest is in progress. Throughout the northern States of the cen tral valleys, extending lrora Ohio west ward to Nebraska and Kansas, the weather was favorable for corn, which is reported as excellent and growing finely. The har vesting of winter wheat, grass and oats was interrupted by rains, and the weather in many localities was too wet for their threshing.
