A L1TEIU0CKOUT The Toilers Inyade tlie Capi tol, Where aEeally Good Time Is Had in LAUGHING ATLAWMAKERS. Government Printing Employes Com pare Themselves to STEEL WORKERS AT HOMESTEAD. 3Tiree Thousand Half Pays of Work Lost to Hen and Women. AN 1LLUNCE LEADER IN HOT WATER rrsoM x arxrr cobmspoxdekt.j "Washington, Aug. 1. If there was not a quorum of the House present at pray ersj this morning, there certainly waa of the locked-out employes of the Government Printing Office. They swarmed into the galleries like a colony of bees.foremen,com positon, pretty girls who feed presses and work in the bindery, representing all classes and conditions of the printing and bookbinding industry, and all anxious to know when the Tast machinery of their office, blocked as a result of the work of a filibustering minority, would begin to moTO again. Kb explanation of their identity was necessary. Everyone knew they were the employes of the great printing house in Swampoodle, and that they had come by hundreds to impress upon the House their condition of enforced idleness. For the first time in the history of that institution it was closed for want of money to run it A Xovelty fora Little While. It was truly a novelty, but It was one which the men and women most interested were content to enjoy but for a little while. In a jocular way they compared themselves to Ihe "I octed-oiit Homesteaders, and at the office in Swampoodte a few hundred of those who did not come to the .Capitol indulged in burlesques of battles between the militia and locked-out printers, the tying-up of fractious militiamen by the thumbs, and other similar shams, ending by forcing the painter of the building, whom they called tjne "publie painter," to march at their Mead while they paraded to the tune of Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are Marching. " At the Capitol they watched the proceed ings with an intense interest, which broke iiito applause when General Harry Bing ham had concluded his denunciation of an obstructing minority whose conduct had re sulted in a stoppage of Government busi ness. Hr. Holman bad sent to the clerk a resolution extending the appropriations of East year to and including August 4. Reed Quoted to Silence Hopkins. Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, had Interposed Shis objection that nothing was in order ex cept a vote on the question on which the previous question had been ordered, which was the "World's fair amendment to the sundry civil bilk Speaker Crisp had quoted a decision of ex-Speaker Beed, which effect ually flence3Mr. Hopkins' objection, and General Bingham had made an impassioned speech of five minutes onhe Holman joint resolution. As he sat down he was ap plauded loudly by Democrats and Republi cans who iavor the World's Fair appropria tion, and the printers who crowded the gal leries joined in until the hand-clapping swelled to a thunderous roar. Speaker Crisp pounded angrily with bis gavel and shouted for order, and when he could make himself heard declared he would clear the galleries if the ofler.se were repeated. "Buck" Kilgore shouted, "Put them out," aud Judge Montgomery, of Kentucky, stood up in his place, shook his fist excitedly at the galleries, and echoed Kilgore with 'Tut them out, put them out They are all Government employes and have no business here," as though Congress owned the place, and as though the printers could not go where they please when locked out by an act of Congress. Tbe Wheels Soon Tarn Ones More. After a brief and sharp discussion of 15 minutes on each side the joint resolution was adopted and the printers promptly left the galleries empty, knowing the wheels would soon begin to turn again. The reso lution went to tbe Senate and was there at once adopted. It went forthwith to the President and was immediately signed, and at 2 o'clock the 3,000 employes' who had lost upward of half a day were again busily at work. Aside from this loss the only inconveni ence, resulting from this extraordinary epi sode was the failure of members to receive the Sunday morning Issue of the Congra twncA Record, which still lay at the printing office this afternoon for want ol drivers and messengers to deliver it General Bingham charged that Hr. Hol man and his fellow filibusters advised and connived at the absence of members for the purpose of breaking a quorum. This is literally true. There are in town upward oi 30 members over and above a quorum, and upon an understanding with their lead em they absent themselves deliberately. Upon a call oi the House a quorum is no sooner secured than it immediately melts away. A more contemptuous defiance of the Demoeratie principle of the rule of the ma jority was never seen. In another day and in another country, such rebellion against the numerical majority would have called for the headsman's ax. It was impossible at any time to-day to secure a quorum ex cepting upon a call of the House, and an adjournment was therefore taken at 2 o'clock till to-morrow. Watson's Foot Is In It. it is pretty evident from the temper shown br the "Watson Investigating Com mittee, and tbe rather one-sided rulings of of Chairman Boatner, that the Alliance leader in the House will not get off un scathed for his assertiou in his campaign textbook that members reeled about the aisles in a drunken state, and addressed the Chair while in a condition of maudlin in toxication. The committee held almost a continuous session from 10 o'clock till 3 to day, and practically closed the case, nnless it be decided to compel Mr. "Watson, if possible, to divulge the names of others than Judge Cobb, of Alabama, to whom he referred in his campaign flight If that be done, probably the inquiry may be greatly prolonged, to permit those others to clear themselves. The fact, however, that the others have not come forward like Judge Cobb and admitted that tbe strictures of Mr- Watson were directed at them, Indi cates Jhat they are not sure of exculpation, and that they prefer to remain incognito. The committee is composed of three Democrats, one Bepnblican, Grout, of New Hampshire, who has agreed with the Demo crats in everything, and Jerry Simpson, Alliance, who" has acted as counsel for Wat son. It, is certain that with the exception of Simpson tbe committee will unite upon a report unfavorable to Watson, but just how far it will go the committeemen themselves have not yet decided. They will probably report that the sweeping charges or Watson are practically without foundation, and leave it to the House to decide upon the penalty for the misstatements. Altogether, ft is a unique investigation, without its counterpart in the history of Congress. To iear one lot of members swear that a fellow -nber was drunken, and to hear another e that that member had all bis life had an incurable case of sobriety, is intense ly edifying. a he Deadlock Not Yet Picked. A loiie drawn-out caucus of Democrats this evening, with heated speeches, brought the deadlock in the Hou.se no nearer the end, apparently, than it was at adjourn ment this afternoon. Pennsylvania were at the fore-front, both for and against the World's Fair appropriation. Mr. Mutchler came loaded with a resolntion to postpone Until December 7 the whole matter, and at that time take a vote without filibuster ing. He had another proposition to appoint a committee to Investigate during the reoess the actual financial condition of the Fair corporation, to report December 1 and take a vote December 7. Mr. Keilly, of Penn sylvania, offered a substitute providing for an immediate vote on tbe previous question now before the House. Probably a dozen members spoke on each side The most' prominent ones favoring postponement were Speaker Crisp, Judge McCrearv, of Kentucky; Dockery, of Missouri, and Mutchler, Beilly. Wike, of Indiana; O'Neill, of Missouri, and others urged immediate action. Keilly's proposi tion was defeated by a vote of 66 to 33, and then Mutchler's proposition to postpone was adopted by a vote of 69 to 22. Dockery Can See no Daylight. "I do not see that the situation is much changed," said Mr. Dockery after the cau cus to-night "The caucus binds no one, and I know personally that some who voted for postponement to-night would vote for the appropriation to-morrow. Vet, I be lieve if it were not for the Senate we could carry the House for postponement I know of a number of Republicans who would vote that way, but they hold back because they believe tbe Senate will stand out against adjournment until the Fair appro priation is accepted by the House. The Senate is held by the "World's Fair people. The Director General is closeted with lead ing senators every day, and holds them steady for the appropriation. "As to a vote in the Honse at this time, the result is problematic. So many have cone awav that it is impossible to say which side would now have a majority on a direct vote on the appropriation." Upon this point the World's Fair people conld possibly give Mr. Dockery informa tion. They claim they have ueen keeping a close count on departing members, and that they will have a majority any time a vote in ta sAn Trio lvnYAnt ile a nP 4-1 a vustgut J.UV au-iisw suid uuiwb Ul VUOi matter is that a long and formal canons or upward of 100 Democrats has failed to ac complish anything tangible toward breaking the deadlock. The Senate like a Stone Wall. Even though a majority could be gained in the House for postponement, the Senate stands like a wall of adamant Between the House and adjournment until the World's Fair matter comes to it in satisfactory form. Both Blackburn, of the Democrats, and Allison, of the Republicans, declared to-day they were as firm as ever in their determina tion never to agree to adjournment nntil the Fair appropriation became an accomplished fact The mere fact that the filibusters are in doubt as to whether they would have a majority makes them fear to permit the amendment to come to a vote. There is no way for them to get there postponement proposition before the House except by first allowing a vote on Bingham's motion, to table Holman's motion to reconsider the vote by which the previous question was ordered. Should they permit this, and should the motion to table prevail, the fight would be at an end, as there then would re main nothing hut to take a direct vote on the amendment The only way a compromise can be ef fected is bv a withdrawal all around of all the pending motions, the elimination of the Fair amendment entirely from tue snndry civil bill, and the adoption of a separate resolution, embodying Mutchler's caucus resolution of to-night At present there is not the least sign of a possibility of such an amicable arrangement THE PEOIECTIVE POLICY And a Breezy Discussion of It Occupy the Time of the Senate. "Washington, Aug. 1. Almost all that occupied the attention of the Senate to-day were speeches on the tariff question by Mr. Hawley and Mr. Hiscock, advocating and defending the policy of protection, and a statement by Mr. Vest respecting the profits of the Arlington "Wool Mills. Mr. Vest had in a former speech asserted that that company had in 1891 paid a dividend oi SO per cent and that there had been troubles and strikes among its workmen. Both these assertions had been characterized in a letter from Mr. "Whitman, the Secretary of the company, to Mr. Allison (jwhloh had been read some davs ago and printed in the Record) as "absolutely false," and Mr. "Vest, in view of that denial, undertook to prove from Mr. Whitman's own report to the directors that his (Mr. Vest's) original assertion was practically true, and that Mr. Whitman's assertion was a suggestio falsi. As to strikes and labor troubles at the Mills, Mr. Vest sustained his first state ment by various extracts from newspapers of Boston and other places. Eight-Hoar Law Signed. Washington, Aug. L The eight-hour law, signed to-day by the President, was introduced in Congress by Bepresentative John O'Neil, of Missouri, former Chairman of the Labor Committee, and was prepared bv the Labor Union. It prohibits all em ployes of the Government from working over eight hours a day, and extends the rule to those working under Government contracts. BICHAED TENBKOECK HO HOSE.

Special A sensational elopement, in which the belle of the Hotel Brunswick figures as one of the principals, has been the theme of conversation among the guests of the hotels here to-day. Tbe young lady was Miss Mabel Tinley, of Philadelphia, while the man is Bichard W. Boeloffs, who was employed last year in the Philadelphia postofflce. The couple were married yes terday afternoon by Bey. Frank Chandler, pastor-of the First Presbyterian Church on Grand avenue, at the parsonage of the church.

THE MAHIAC " MURDERESS GONE Into a Eelreat From Which It Is Not Thought Possible That SRE TTILL TR EMERGE "WHILE AL1TE f rxcxjii. tzliqrjlm to tqx dispatch. 1 Memphis, Aug. 1. Alice Mitchell nas taken to the insane asylum at Bolivar at S o'clock this evening, but the last scene be fore, she, left was a fitting close to the strange drama in w"hich she was the central figure. Testerdsy her two sisters, her brothers and her father visited her in jail and spent all day with her, talking over her approaching departure. This morning early her mother repaired to the jail to assist her unfortunate child in the preparations for her journey and indefinite sojourn at an asylum. All at once Alice begged, as the last favor, that she be allowed to visit Freda Ward's grave. Sheriff McLendon was tele phoned to come to the jail, and on his ar rival Alice's request was referred to him. He had no objection. As. it was raining, and the party was desirous of escap ing observation, Mr. Mitchell telephoned for a hack. A. Last Look at Her Old Home. It was necessary to go by the Mitohell residence to procure the family lot owner's ticket of admission to the cem etery, since without tickets no one is ad mitted. The carriage stopped, and Mrs. Mitchell went in for j the tickets, leaving Alice standing in the doorway, while the Sherifi remained in the carriage. It was the first time that Alice had seen the home of her childhood since she left it on the 25th day of January with the blood of Freda Ward still warm on her hands, yet no recollections seemed to be aroused, nor did she evince any desire to step inside the door nntil she observed two cats in the hall. Then she ran in and took both of them in her arms and petted them. They had for gotten her and strove to escape. One got away, and then, putting the other from her, she said: "Well, go away; I don't love you anv more, anyway." t Mr. Mitchell was at home, and hearing o'f the party's destination, he concluded to go along. The quartet arrived at the ceme tery, and a guide conducted the party to Freda's grave. No stone marks the spot where pretty Freda lies buried, but the well-kept mound, beautiful and fragrant with flowers, shows that -she is not for gotten. Grler Softened by Timely Tears. For a moment the girl who had consigned the fair young creature .to this untimely grave fixed her eyes upon it with a far away, unseeing stare. Then the tears came, blinding her eyes, and sobs that shook her frame. Her parents looked in silence, themselves moved at their daughter's emotion, but under all the sad circumstances unable to frame suitable Then, bending over the grave, Alice 1 plucked a bouquet oi flowers irom her vic tim's resting place. Gracefully she blended them, to bear away with her to add to the othermementoes to -remind her of her be loved one whom she slew because she loved her. Then the party re-entered the car riage and was driven back to the jail. Alice, in a corner of the carriage, never once looked up. She wept and sobbed as though her heart would break. She was thinking of Freda. . Into an Asylum for XJfe. Shortly after 4'' o'clock a carriage con veyed Alice and her mother, with Deputy, Sheriff Perkins, to the Midland Railway depot There they were' met by Mr. Mitchell and Alice's brothers and sisters. There were many r adieus and kisses ex changed between 'the other members of the family and this girl who had brought so much trouble and distress on them alt Then, at 5 o'clock, the cry of all aboard was the signal for perhaps a life-long separation. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell remained on the train to accompany Alice to Bolivar, Officer Perkins, ot course", going along. Tne sisters and brothers of Alice jumped to the plat form, then there was a last waving of hand kerchiefs, and the maniac murderess was 'gone and the curtain had fallen on tbe most sensational drama Memphis has ever produced. I0VEBS IN ANCIENT TIKES. Shakespeare's Characters "Were Nearly Al ways Very Faithful. Tbe Chautauquan. The modern subjective love story is made wearisome by overmuch study of the moral inwards of the lovers. Shakespeare did not decline upon the psychologic analysis of human emotions, and therefore we see lovers in his plays as we see them in our own world, and this is the wholesome way of attending this everlasting spectacle. It is no small cause oi the dignity love wears in our dramatist that his lovers are not often boys and girls. He has, so to speak, ripened a fruit which is hardly to be . en joyed when it is green. Indeed, he has scarcely given us one pair of lovers about whom we feel that "they are very young:" and most of them present the appearance of mature manliness and womanliness. Ot the men. excepting Orlando, the be. loved of Rotallnd, and the boy who runs off with JtMina, bhylocK s daughter, we cannot be far wrong in assuming that they have at tained to maturity. And to what mind do Imogen, Bosalmd, Portia and Ophelia seem to be in their early girlhood? There is a comfortable sense of matronliness about all these women, and they are weighed, too, with character, a thing Shakes peare thought highly appropriate in a woman. Of one common condiment in love sto ries, Shakespeare is verv frugal, that is to say, faithlessness. His lovers for the most part are as good as they engage to be, and they do not seem to have discovered those awful mistakes of choice which justify lov ing another man's wife or eloping with an other girl. ' JOHN HAHH0ND DYING. A Very Well-Known Theatrical Man the Victim of a Murderous Blow. Cincinnati, Aug. L Special John Hammond, the well-known theatrical man ager, is dying at the Cincinnati hospital, and it is thonght cannot live until morning. Some unknown hand is responsible for what will prove murder. An abscess has developed in his brain which gives' -him a very short lease ot life. ( It was while on his tour for booking an attraction in tbe early part of last May that he got mixed up in a saloon row in Detroit and was hit on the head with a coupling pin by an unknown hand. He tell unconscious with a fractured skull, and was taken to a hospital in that city from which he was discharged several weeks ago as cured. He was on his ray to headquarters in Louisville when a new development set in. While at Elm and Liberty streets, this city, he fell unconscious to tbe sidewalk and a patrol wagon took him to the hospital. ;; Hammond is about 40 years old. He was for many years a prominent producer of ballads," and was.for some time stage mana ger of Niblo's Garden, New York. He was also connected for a time with the Central Theater, of Philadelphia. In the past two seasons he has been with the Whallen and Martell Company, which he organized. He is a member of Hobokea Elks lodge. DISPATCH. TUESDAY, A DISH 07 KIXED POLIIICS. The Minnesota Campaign Likely to Develop gome Peculiar Features. Si. Paul, Aug. L With the exception of two counties, the delegates to the DJ&no cratic State Convention are all cwken. They number 788 all told. The situation, so far as the Govejjnor ship is concerned, is very badly nffied, the vote being divided among Cfty J Ator ney Lawler, of St Paul; ex-Congrejlman Wilson, of Winona; ex-Marshal Campbell, of Litohfield, and E. T. Champlin, Sf taker of the House of Representatives otlMan kato. Lawler has' about 500 delegates pledged to him, a larger number than to any other candidate, bnt the uninstructed men teem very decidedly inclined, to com bine on Champlin, who in tbe winter of 1891 was made Speaker of the House as an Alliance man, although always a Democrat up to the campaign of 1890. More than a majority of the delegates are instructed for Daniel Breck, Thomas Canty, and "William Mitohell for Judges or the Supreme Court Canty and , Breck, al though both on the People's party ticket, are Democrats. Mitchell is a Democrat now on the Supreme Bench, and is on the Bepnblican ticket named last Thursday. This makes a queer and unexpected com plication, for it renders it certain, whatever may occur as to the remainder ot the State ticket, that three Democrats will be ehosen to the Supreme. Bench, giving them one ma jority in the court of last resort, the two hold-overs being Republicans. In the event of Lawler's nomination for Governor, the Minnesota- contest will be one of the most unique in the history of American politics. A bitter fight will be made on Lawler because he is a Roman Catholic, but a no less relentless war has already been begun on Nelson, the Re publican candidate, because he was born in Norway. This fight was begun by the American element, who protested against tbe running for Governor any man not born in this country. The warfare thus begun is heartily seconded by the Swedes, who hate all Norwegians cordially, and in this campaign have a special grievance, because Albert Berg, their candidate for Secretary of State, was disregarded for another Norwegian in the Republican State Cvnvention. The net result of all these unhappy se lections, past and prospective, is that a great many voters in both old parties, al ready numbering thousands, have declared their intention to cast their ballots for Ig natius Donnelly as the least of three evils. What effect these complications will have on the electoral ticket is problematical. THE FOOD OF PLANTS. Cnrefnl Tillage Is a Prime Factor in Snc cestfal Farming. Philadelphia Record. 1 The substance principally used by plants as food is carbon, and yet it is the cheapest of all substances on the farm, for the reason that the plants derive it from the atmos phere. The atmosphere is almost four-fifths nitrogen, and it is now believed that plants also have the, power partially to derive nitrogen from the air as well as carbon. The nitrogen in the atmosphere is always in a free (or uncombined) condition, but carbon exists in a stale of combination, principally as carbonic acid gas, in which condition it is united with oxygen. "When the leaves of a plant absorb carbon from the carbonic acid gas of the atmos phere the oxygen is set free. In that man ner the leaves purify the air by lessening the amount of carbonic acid and liberating the oxygen. The carbon is then utilized by the plant as food, and is converted into many other substances, such as oil, starch and sugar, according to the characteristics of the plant. From the plant the animals derive their carbon- as food, and they in turn convert the carbon into some other product Carbon, which costs the farmer nothing, therefore is the prime substance of his butter, lard, fat port, and of many of his crops. Butter takes little or nothing from the soil, and the same may be said of lard. Plants derive tbe greater portion of their nitrogen through the agency ot their roots, and in the form of ammonia or nitric acid, although nitrogen is so abundant in the atmosphere. It plants were capable of de riving the whole of their nitrogen from the atmosphere (as with carbon), there would be no necessity lor manure or fertilizers, except tor the mineral elements, and bread would be the cheapest ot all substances; yet many ot the foods derived from carbon are cheaper than those more nitrogenous, owing to the labor required in their production. If the leaves and roots can convert the car bonic acidOf the air into food, and derive from the rains that which- is brought dowu in the form of nitrogen compounds, the farmer's duty is to promote rapid growth of the roots and leaves of his plants, in order to increase their capacity for deriving these substances. An early start given the plants, by preparing the ground properly, makes tne cost of production less by enabling the plants to procure a portion of their food, and in this respect they do not differ from animals, as the more favorable the con ditions the lower the Cost and the greater the increase.

Ihe Evidence Given Shows No Conspiracy 'to Ruin the Company. FIRES, FAILURES AND BAIMVAY NEWS Eastox, Pa., Aug. L In the North ampton County Court this morning an opinion was. handed down in relation to the Philadelphia and Beading aud Lehigh Valley Railroad deal. Tbe case came up on a motion for a receiver for tbe Lehigh Valley Bailroad Company, and for a pre liminary injunction. The motion for a receiver is .based on a number of allega tions, the purport of which is that the directors of the Lehigh Valley Bailroad Company are engaged in a conspiracy to ruin that company in the interest of the Phila delphia and Beading Company. The Court states that from the high character of the gen tlemen concerned aside from the inherent absurdity of such a charge, there is not the slightest evidence to support it. The mo tion for a receiver is therefore denied. The opinion runs thus: Are the complainants entitled to a prelim inary injunction? Tbe present controversy is the outgrowth of a lease by the directors of the Lehigh Vulley Katlroad Company of that company's property, including all its franchises excopt tbe franchise of being a corporation to the Philadelphia and Bead ing Railroad Company. The Contentions That Were Made. The contention of the complainants Is that this lease Is Illegal, first, becanse it was not within the powers ot the directors to make it, and in the seoond place because, as the complainant allege, tbe lines of the Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia and Bending Rail roads were, at the date of the lease, "parallel or competing," aud theiefore the lease was in violation ol the Constitution. It is one of the peculiarities of the case at liar that the lease was in violation ot the Constitution. It Is one of the peculiarities of the case at bar that the lease, which is the binder of tbe complainants' complaint, In stead or being an Injury, has been a positive benefit to them. On this point we have affi davits of the Dliectois of the Lehigh Valley Bailroad Company. Still further, it is now nearly six months since the lease was made, and the stocic has steadily advanced in price ever since and Is still advancing. Hero, then, we have the anomaly of a set of complainants without a grievance assert ing a doubtlul right and asking for an In junction that would do them no good, wliilo It would work incalculable injury, not only to the defendants, but to the public, by the interruption of travel and transportation on all the lines of the Reading system. An Injunction tVonld Be TJt-Jast. To grant on injunction under snch cir cumstances would be to invite revolution or rather it would be to inaugurate revolution by ourselves leading the way In showing Contempt for the authority of the law. The present motion must theierore be dismissed. We are free to admit that we would willing ly have leached a different conclusion If we could have done so without trampling tbe safeguards which the law has thrown around the exercise of the most excellent, but at the sxme time most dangerous juris diction by injunction. If reports bo true, and we have no reason to doubt them the worklnjmen, anxious to work, with families dependent on their earning, are being turned out of their places by soores and hundred Hit as little ceremony and apparently with as little thought as If they were so many cattle. So ono denies the right of the stockholders or the Philadelphia and Kendlru Railroad to receive dividends on their jstockj At the same timo the claims of long-continued faithful service have 'been recognized the world over, and 1 it not worthy 6r consider ation whether dividends earned In con tempt of these claims may not be achieved at too great a cost. But It is merely by the way the.blll belore us has been filed by private parties for their own prlrate ends, and tbe equities alone are in the balance. REFINERIES ANSWER.

Gov't Report Rofol S.B sliM W M3S k ABSOLUTELY PURE TO THE L m m .tt!9 HOW MUTES MAEE LOVE. By the Sense or Touch Ihrj Are Able to Coo to Each Other. Pearson's Weekly. J A gentleman who enjoys a wide acquaint ance among the deaf writes that the Court ship of a pair of mutes is one of the most singular things on record. "I know a young man who is now deep in the toils of a fair and speechless girl," he said, "and he has taken me into his con fidence. He is perfectly happy in hit in firmity, for from conversation he has held with ordinary lovers he has come to the conclusion that silence Is, after all, the best form for lovers. "Daring the progress of his love he ex perienced but one difficulty, and that in a, short time he surmounted. The thorn that lay in his bed of roes was a gas jet which, as he of coarse conversed with hit adored one in the sign language, It was al ways necessary to keep ablaze a wofully embarrassing thing for lovers. "Finally they discovered that tbey could Utilize the sense of touch in deciphering their sign language. By holding one an other's hands they found that they could carry on a conversation with tolerable facil ity, and in about a week were adepts. Thus deaf, dumb, and practically blind, they en joyed all the pleasure of love. Tbey have spread their discovery among their friends, and I believe that the idea has taken fast hold Upon deaf lovers." GOLD EPZNT BT 10UEISTS.. An Immense Amount Is Annnslly Dep 0 ltd In the Eternal City. Pearson's Weetly.j How Italy, a country without goldmines, finds the gold to pay the ten millions a year dne to foreign holders of her bonds, has been something of a mystery. The Secretary of the British Embassy in Rome declares that the only solution of the ques tion at which it is logical to arrive is that this amount of gold is annually brought intor the country by foreign travelers, who swarm during the four seasons of the year in one part of Italy or the other. from calculations made by the United States consular representatives in various parts of the country, it has been computed that for tbe last ten years the average an nual expenditure in Italy of American citizens has been above seven millions ster ling. It would scarcely be an exaggeration to place the collective expenditure of British, French, Australian, German and other foreign travelers at double this amount. This, we are remindedis irrespective of the money spent in thecountry by the 60,000 or 60,000 pilgrims who annually visit the Eternal city, and of the amount of which they are the bearers in the shape of dona tions to the Holy See.
