ALL WASHINGTON IS EXCITED
Secretary Olnejr's laoipeeted Visit
to the City Creatos an I'nllm
Ited Amount of Talh-The
Mysterious Meeting.
Washington, July M.-Secretary Ol
ney arrived suddenly and unexpectedly
In Washington today from Falmouth,
his summer home, and summoned a
council of the cabinet officers In town,
which lasted for two hours. He reached
here About noon and went almost Im
mediately to thJ war department, where
he had an hour's talk with Secretary
Lamont. Shjrtly before 4 o'clock Mr.
Olney called on Secretary Herbert at
his otfloe and the two walked over to
thvj ntate department, where Secretary
Carlisle and Attorney General Harmon,
who had been sumnioived by telephone,
joined tlK-m roon after. For two hours
Seciftarles Carlisle and Herbsrt and
Attorney General Harmon were clos
eted with Mr. Olney In his private office.
Many rumors were set afloa by Mr.
Oliwy's unexpected arrival, and it is
said "that the meeting was caused by a
serious crisis In this country's relations
with Spain. All the cabinet officers
who were not at the meeting refur? to
tf anything of the subjpet under dls
cussijn. but ftom the manner in which
one of them ppoke It would appear Mat
the reason for ths conference Is a se
rious on. White the rf ison for con
ference can be mere nicculatlun, M Is
probable tfcTt the condition of Cuban
affairs brought Mr. Olney to Washing
ton. ' Complaints of Swinish Mini tor.
Frequent complaints of the S;n!sh
minister that filibustering expeditions
are being constantly fitted out in this
country has caused the Washlwrton
government much embarrassment, and
It is not Improbable that It has been
decided by the president to take action
that will prevent claims by Spain
against the United States for violation
of the neutrality laws, and that the
cabinet conference this afternoon was
for the purpose of devising ways and
means of protecting this government In
that regard.
There was one rumor afloat In con
flection with Mr. Olney's visit here that
was promptly denied by all of the cab
inet officers. This was that Mr. Cleve
land is til at Gray Oables. Mr. Olney
will return to Falmouth tomorrow
morning.
HIE CRANK APPEARS.
He Is Brought to the Surfaea by the Plot-
cl Casc-llolmos Wlll8oo Mako a
Statement.
Philadelphia, July 19.-The wide pub
licity given to the Pletzel murder case
has brought out the "crank" and It Is
to this genius that the stranger who
visited the office of Holmes' attorney
yesterday belongs. Lawyer Shoemaker
visited Holmes at the county prison
this morning, and to his client related
what the stranger had told him yester
day about being able to prove an alibi
for Holmes and told him his name.
Holmes denied any knowledge of the
man. and when the stranger appeared
at Mr. Shoemaker's office again this
morning he was put through a course
of sharp questioning that developed the
fact that his name was Francois Wins
choff. and that he was a splrltiuallstlc
crank, who lives In this city.
Mr. Shoemaker did not take long- to
Impress upon his visitor that his psy
chological alibi was not needed and the
man left.
There was one fact developed today
that goes a little way toward bolstering
up Holmps' shattered reputation for be
ing unable to tell the truth. His mys
terious friend, "Hatch," is a reality and
not a myth. iRellafrle Information' of
the man's Identity has been-established.
His name Is Edward Hatch and he
worked for Holmes In Forth Worth,
Tex., and Is now supposed to be In Chl
cigo. Although the man's klentfty has
been established, nothing has been
learned that In any way shows that he
was In Toronto at the time Holmes
says he gave the children into his
charge there.
Holmes Is preparing a statement of
his side of the case, which will be given
to the public In a few days.
CARLISLE'S REPORT.
Declines to Express an Opinion on ths
Gold Reserve.
Washington. July M.-SecretaTy Car
lisle, In accordance with his almost In
variable rule, declined this afternoon
to express an opinion" as to the effect on
the gold reserve the shipment abroad of
$1,000,000 of that coin would have. This
imlpment will reduce the treasury gold
reserve to about $105,800,000. Since July
1, by withdrawals of gold for redemp
tion purposes, the treasury has lost
$1,500,000. In that -time, however,, gold
gains from mintage Have partly offset
this loss, so that the net loss to the
gold reserve Is only about $670,000. The
fact that tuch a large gold shipment Is
now made, following as it does those of
smaller amou-ti'.i for a, week past, Is
caurlrg treasury officials to Inquire If
this Is the beginning, of n extended
gold export movement. With terllng
exchange at the high rate It Is now
commanding, $00 and over, It Is calcu
lated at the department that It would
cost $7,500 to go Into ths New Tork mar
ket and buy exchange for $1,000,000 gold,
deliverable In London. '
The cost of export. If the gold Is taken
from the New Tork sub-treasury amd
actually sent by steamer, It Is figured,
would cost the exporter only about
$1600, or even les for every $1,000,000.
With the market In this condition treas
ury officials can only hope for the best,
which Is that the commercial demand
for gold for export will cease. This,
they expect, will take place with the
movement of the crop this fall, it not
before. - , '--

Chlcaxo, July 19.-Nort'hern and
Suulhern delegates to the silver confer
ence, under way at the Auditorium ho
tel. came -new an open rirpture this
mornlrg. At one time a split In the
rank seemed lmmlr.nt over the d9lre
of the southern delegates to Ignore the
Bimetallic league. They maintained
that avowal purpose of the league was
to assist the aspirations of their presi
dential candidate. Joseph SKbley. The
men from the south deilred to conduct
their work In their section within the
ranks or the Democratic party, isnd In
the north to corxluct the agitation on
non-partisan basis.

that the trouble now In the west was
a growing beliof that the silver wing
wasibut the tail of the Democratic kite.

a fc-u'b-convmlttte of five be appointed to
Uke charge of the distribution of litera
ture, and that it be Instructed to use
Its bt?t effort? to avoid, any antagonism

any line of work that attempted to
carry forward the silver agitation with
out being allied to the league. He said
It had done all of the work thus far; that
It had spent $25,000 and Stood before the
people as a non-partisan organisation
An address will be issued to the public
setting forth the position of the Na
tional Silver league. The members of
the national committee will be em
powered to organize the various states.
Mr. Ralphsnlder, of West Virginia,
attacked the policy of the Bimetallic
league. He declared It was not a non
partisan body, and asserted It had
placed Joseph Sibley In nomination for
the presidency, and thereby became a
bimetallic party. Mr. Ralphsnlder as
serted that the fight for the silver in the
south must be made through the Dem
ocratic party, and the work carried on
as a separate and Independent organi
zation. THROWN FROM A TRAIN.

M1DSIMMER Dl'LLXESS.
Trade News Not So Encouraging This
Week, According to Opinions from
Dun k Company.
New York. July 19. R .G. Dun & Co..
In tlwlr weekly 'review of trade, tomor
row will say:
The week's new Is not entirely en
couraging, but is all the more natural
because there ate tttgns of midsummer
dullness. Wheat prospects are not
qu4te B) good as last week, but still
there are lower prices, as corn and cot
ton have bein lowered. The exports
of gold and the less favorable treasury
returns for July are not unexpected
anl meun noiihlng as to coming busi
ness. There Is a perceptible decrease
In the demand for most manufactured
products, and the actual distribution to
the consumers naturally lessens In mid
summer. There are still numerous advances in
wages, but strikes grow more numer
ous and Important.
Money Is still abundant, and while
there la much more activity In commer
cial loans, it Is not what would appear
if all Industries were fuTTy employed.
The volume of exchange continues
nearly as large as In 1892, because of the
delay In spring operations, and though
rapidly sinking to summer proportions,
Is 27 per cent, larger than last year.
The future turns on crops and the
market reflects a prevailing belief that
tih-e crops are to be fair.
Orders have so accumulated In Iron
products that some works forego the
usual rummer .rest, and eastern furn
aces soon to ibegl.n blant will add about
5,000 tons weekly to the production.
Ytt the week has been In new business
the dullest since the rue In prices be
gan, as many 'hesitate to buy after po
great an advance. A few quotatns
have advanced gpj.y forge and east
ern bar while Bessemer pig Is a shade
weaker at Plttlbung, 'but the average
of all prices 1 per cent, higher for the
week, and 2S.3 per cent, higher than
Fb. 1. . - .
Failures for the week have been 256
In the United States agalcfet 230 last
year, and 39 In Canada against 44 last
year.

' According to Reports'
Pittsburg, Pa., July 19. A special to
the Times from Massillon, O., says:
J. 8. Coxey brings out a story tonight
obtained by him from C. M. Miller, a
Canton manufacturer, who claimed that
Congressman Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
related the alleged facts to him. Ac
cording to this tale the bankers of New
York learned In 1892 that Harrison's
re-election was certain and that a Dem
ocratic house was equally as wrll as
sured. Not liking this they sent emls
paries to 'Mr. Cleveland with a proposi
tion to drop $1,000,000 Into the Demo
cratic campaign fund In return for a
pledge that the silver purchasing clause
of the Aherman law ehould be repealed,
