THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-FRlDAY, AUGUST 12, 1898. OF THE rBEAR AND LION ONS BETWEEN RUSSIA ENGLAND STRAINED. , Balfour Admits n Check In China He Tolls the House of Com- rmons That the Facts Set Forth In the Tlme3 Despatch Are Substan tially Correct "The Matter Is En gaging the Serious Attention of Her Majesty's Government," Ho Added The Order for the Depar ture of the Military Squadron From Glbialtar Countermanded. London, Aug. 11. In the house of commons today A. J. Balfour, the first lord of the treaEiiry nnd government loader, admitted that the facts In the rekln despatch to the London Times today were substantially as therein set forth. The correspondent of the Times ca bled that the Tsung-LI-Ynmen hnd Given formal assent to all the condi tions Imposed by the Russian Charge d'Affalrcs. regarding the c6ntract for the Nlu-Chang railroad extension loan, those conditions being In direct con flict with the terms of the signed con tract and designed to block the com pletion of the contract, the whole movement being designed as a blow nt British concessions. After making the admission referred to today, Mr. Bnlfour added thnt the matter was "engaging the serious at tention of the government." This state ment wns received with cheers. A despatch received hero today from Gibraltar says the departure from that place of the British military squadron, which wns llxed for today, has been countermanded and the squadron has been ordered to remain nt Gibraltar while awaiting further orders. It Ib not known whether this change In the admiralty's plans has any con nection with the situation In the Far Kast. STRAINED RELATIONS. Vancouver, R. C, Aug. 10. Mall ad vices from Pekln show how strained are the relations between England and Itussla. It would appear that China leans toward England. A Pekln cor respondent writes that the high ofllc Inls of the Chinese Imperial govern ment, with but two conspicuous excep tions, have had their eyes opened at last to the false friendship of Russia nnd that the gratitude of China for the aid In recovering the Llao Tung Pen insula has been misplaced. They have also begun to perceive the disinterest ed help of Great Britain. The North China Dally News says: "It Is perfectly true that Hong Kong nnd Shanghai banking corporations having arranged a loan to the Imperial Chinese railways for the construction of the intended line from Shan Hntk uan to New Chwang, the Itusslan charge d'affaires sent to the Tsung-ll-Yamen a formal written protest against It. Does Lord Salisbury propose to sit down quietly and allow the Itusslan charge d'affaires to annul the contract between nn English bank nnd the Chinese government?" A Pekln syndicate represented by Chevalier Luzzatl scored again when the Tsung-ll-Yamen signed a second contract with them, that time giving them control of jtho mining privileges and the neccssarv railroad and water outlet to navigable rivers In three northern prefectures of Henan. Prltchard Morgan, M. P., has loft for Japan with the Intention of returning to again press his scheme for a gov ernment bureau of mining. "While such a scheme might be beneficial to the government and Incidentally also to Morgan, there Is not the slightest pros pect of success. Even If the Chinese were willing, and they are not, still Russia would never consent to allow another service similar to the customs service to bo Inaugurated In China with an English head and English staff. It is said that the Belgian loan con tract which was signed by Railway Director Shcnga was accepted nt 90. with annual Interest at the rate of B per cent. The first Instalment Is to be 14,000 to bo used In building a rail way between Hankow and Nsinyang. While the loan is to nmount to 4, tOO.000. the contract provides that all the materials required shall be home made, falling In which they are to be purchased from a Belgian syndicate. Should the syndicate be unable to pro. vide material not procurable In China, it Is to be procured by public tender. The syndicate is declared to be Bel gian only in name, being composed of Russian and French capitalists. MARCH TO MIDDLETOWN. General Davis Will Remove His Troops from Thoroughfare Gap. "Washington, Aug. 11. A dlspach from Thoroughfare Gap, Va., says the Second division of the Second Army corps, under command of General Da vis Js to continue his march and even tually locate at Mlddletown, Pa. The plan contemplated by General Davis Is to march his troops In a north easterly direction to Leesburg, Va., from there to the Potomac and cross the river nt the Point of Rocks nnd on to Frederick. The next prominent rotnt on the route Is Emmlttsburg. Md., and from there the division will pass through Hanover, York, and Har rlsburg, on to Mlddletown. The dis tance by this route Is about 110 miles, and General Davis expects to average fourteen miles each day. The army wagons that started on the way to Camp Alger yesterday to transport the First division to Thorughfare wero hastily ordered to return today. At Cinip Alcer It Is said that the orders directing the movements of tho troops will be changed so that the Second di vision will remain at Thoroughfare Gap and the first division will go to Mlddletown, Pn or that the Second division will proceed as ordered and Remember the name J when you buy again RattleAxiJ S Pf-UGWX MM the first go to Sea Girt.

Arrangements are rapidly being made to receive the troops ordered Into camp on Young's farm near Mlddletown.

Pittsburg, Aug. 11. The American Manufacturer will say tomorrow: "The growing Improvement In tho Iron and steel trade 1b notlceablo at nearly nil points, although at some of the principal centers the Improvement Is rather slight this week. It seems that tho situation Is better In tho west than It Is In the east, however, as New York reports no material change with the midsummer dullness still reigning. Tho orders for pig Iron arc light, but consumption Is largo. There, arc re ports of big steel rail contracts having been closed. The finished lines of Iron and steel are rather quiet. At Phila delphia there Is a general feeling thnt the pig Iron trndo Is very close to an Improvement. All pig hon users are watching the market closely. There Is a better demand for bars. The mer chant steel market has a firmer tone and the plate mills are running at full capacity. Structural material Is In good demand, and makers cannot promise deliveries early enough. At Chicago prices nre slightly stronger In the pig Iron trade. Some of the south ern furnaces have advanced prices on No. 2 foundry In tho western market and the southern furnaces are being pushed for deliveries. Considerable bar material has been sold for car building, and there has been some heavy trans actions In bridge material. Merchant steel Is In good demand. At Cincin nati the Iron and steel trade Is rapidly recovering fiom tho effects of war. The pig Iron trade Is fair at former prices, but In finished lines show no material change. In the Wheeling dis trict some Improvement Is seen all along the line of trade. Trospeets In the sheet trade are good, and tho mer chant pipe trade Is prosperous. Tho demand for nails has Improved con siderably. m JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

Trading was very bioad und comprehensive and the tone of speculation extremely varied. Tho general undertone Continued unmistak ably strong. Tho decline In prices was not allowed to proceed to any groat length before dullness ensued, and In a short time n renewed demand would carry prices upwards again, generally on a much smaller volume of business than that on which they had declined, Business was so largo and wns so vldo ly distributed that movements of spe cial stocks had little Influence on the general list nnd tho market nt times showed excessive Irregularity. Even whllo the large realizing was going on nt one point nn eager demand would spring up at nnother nnd keep the bal ance about oven. Considering the large total of the day's transactions, net changes were small. Northern Pacific common was the leader In the late speculation nt nn ndvance of 2 points nnd Denver preferred lose nt one time Hi. The Industrial specialties were Ir regular, moving up nnd down In an erratic manner without regard to the general course- of prices. Sugar was nt one time nbove 140, while Manhat tan fell as low ns 103 and was depressed all day. Depression was manifest nlso at other points on the industrial list. Prices were not maintained at tho best In any case, but the railroads all showed good resistance to pressure nnd closed above the lowest. Net gains of consequence were shown In only a few cases. Total sales were u 15,600 sHares. N'Un'IV SKI'inymi.tt.t'l potisu.m,.T. & CO., stocK brokers, Mears' building, rooms 703-700. Open- High- Low- Clos ing, est. est. Ing. Am. Cot.
