"The statement of the public debt Issued by the
Treasury Department shows a reduction for May of

"There was no euentlal change In money, which

favoring the latter securities. Commercial paper
averaged about 5 per cent, dlsoonnt fr strictly first

natations remained nominally the same.
."The dealings in th Gold Room give evidence of
the organization of a powerful cllejue to advance
the prtniiam, although the progress to-day was bat
moderate. Operations were, apparently, commenced
with a bold push to get the two millions of gold
offered by the Government, and was bid for
the entire anionnt. A few bids were Oiled for
smaller amounts at higher figures, but the clique
got over tl.SM.OSt. With this as a basis they re

b little doubt of the ultimate fate of any sneh
movement, it may have straagth enough last at
present to mark the prlco of gold up a few per cent,
a resalt more easily attainable at this time when
the exports of cotton aro reaohing the minimum,
r certain departments of trade such a rise would
not be disadvantageous. It would let out a great
deal af the , wheat and cotton crop
not yet exported, and for this reason
would be welcome t by the exporting
merchants, however distasteful to the Importers,
who have not the facilities for deferring their re
mittances. There is also a large outstanding short
Interest in gold which might be forced into cover
Ingt and thus to make a market for the gold held by
the 'balls ' It remains to be seen, however, what
effect will be produced when the 1st of July arrives,
and with It the large disbursements of cola Interest
by the Government."

A meeting of prominent citizens af Baltimore
was held in that city on Monday to aid the
friends of Professor Morse, in the principal cities
of the Union aid throughont the country, to
erect at Washington a monumental memorial of
the services he has rendered the world in the
invention of the magnetic telegraph. Hon.
Reverdy Johnson presided, and stated the ob
ject af the meeting. Mr. Horatio Btone, the
scn'ptor, being present, was asked to describe
his plan, and said it was proposed to erect at the
national capital a monument that shall da jus
tice to Professor Morse, the inventor of the
magnetic telegraph, and his coadjutors who
aided in its development and extension. The
monnment will be of granite and bronze, and
86 feet high, the principal statue 11 feet 8
inches. Tho site selected was at the junction of
Pennsylvania avenue and Seventh street, hut he
thought a aore eligible location than that
might he obtained from the (ieneral Govern
ment. Its cost will he $100,900. The drawings
and models are ready, and the contract signed.
Professor Morse's eightieth birthday is at hand,
and it is fitting that his countrymen should
unite with all the world to do him well-earned
honors. It is intended to lay the corner-stone

Tho Fishery Question.
Ottawa, Jnne 2 The Times (Government
organ), speaking of the Washington treaty and
explanations expeeted from Sir John A. Mac-
donald, says: "The Premier considers that the
time for explanations has not yet arrived. He
says, until the treaty 1b ratified by her Majesty
the commission still continues to exist.
Until it is disposed of, public discussion on the
negotiations at Washington would be obviously
improper. With the ratification ot the treaty
the powers and duties of the commissioners will
cease. Our Premier can then without impro
priety make each explanation as lie may deem
necessary.
"Meanwhile the people of Canada may rest
satis fled with the assurance that the reservation
f the fishery articles for the approbation of
our Legislature is not a mere formal one; .that
it is quite open to the Parliament of
the Dominion to deal with . these art!
cles in such a manner as it thinks
most likely to be advantageous to the people of
this country. Neither the Government of
Canada as a whole, nor Sir John Macdonald as
first minister, are committed to the ' treaty.
They have taken care to secure to themselves
the most complete freedom of action in the

untutored red man. The astonishment and
curiosity wore great when the gigantic propor
tions of the elephant Emperor hurst upon their
View, everything passea on quietly.
About midnight tbe watchman, wishing to re
ceive some information in regard to starting in
tbe morning, stepped over to tbe hotel where
Mr. Kobinson was quartered, and while engaged
in conversation with him an awful, unearthly
howl resounded through the halls, followed by
a series at cries, groans, ana screeches such as
no mortal ever heard before. Robinson, quickly
comprehending the matter, ordered every man
to conic out. as he was cestaln that some of the
animals bad broken loose. Upon suddenly turn
ing a corner they beheld a sight they will never
forgot. In the foreground was the huge form of
old Emperor, upon whose hack was perched -a
half dozen warriors, shouting and gesticulating
wildly to their brethren below, while at inter
vals af half a minute a horrid yell would ring
out upon the night air, followed by hnge columns
ot smoke ana oust.
The company, headed by Mr. Robinson, rush

off tbe elephant's back aad led him away. His
body was found to be covered with wounds, from
which the blood was flowing in streams. Over
one hundred arrows were found sticking in his
body.
Amid the confusion it was impossible to ascer
tain how he became loosened from his place of
confinement, but upon examining the chain it
was louna to be u aloe wed, showing that it was
through the agency ot some mischievously in
dined person; and upon inquiry beiag made, ij
was ascertained that a party of yonng braves,
noticing how very gentle aad harmless tbe eie
chant was. concluded ta have a erand menace
rle procession of their own; and while seine
were unlocking his chains, five or six leaped
upon his back and two mare walked on each
siee ana steered him along, and thus the grand
cavalcade startea lor tbe Indian quarter or the
town, intending no donbt to create a big sensa
tion among their brethren, which they certainly
aid, though with a result lar ainerent Iro
what they anticipated; for upon reaching the
first of a long row of wigwams he discovered
the top af one which had been covered the day

whole top cave war.
Tbe Indians, becoming alarmed for the safety
ot tne rest oi tneir wigwams, commence roaa
lag him with spears and knives, while at the
same tlnre a hundred tercnes were lashea upon
the seene, prodncing the very object they were
endeavoring to prevent, for it not only confuted

torture of the knife and arrow wounds rendered
him almost frantic with rage and terror to such
a degree that he rushed madly forward, dealinr
destruction on all sides; and it would he difficult
to tell which party expressed the most eatistac
tion in parting from each other's society, Indi
ans or eiepnani.
Mr. Robinson immediately sent for the chief
to endeavor ta conciliate him, and to remunerate
those who had lost their dwellings by the nn-
lortunate occurrence, upon the arrival ot that
dignitary, he quickly mace known his wishes,
when the chief immediately replied that the
"father ef all the animals," as he termed the
elephant, "was not to blame, hat that the blame
