LONDON, Oct. s.?The feature of the financial world during the past week was the prolonging of the craze here for Kaffirs (South African mining shares) and the postponement of tne expected crash in those securities, whicfh has been predicted for sometime past. The main point of interest in the world of politics was the rioting at Constanti- nople and the subsequent decline in the sympathy hitherto teit apparently badly fur the oppressed and much massacred Armenians. There was quite a slump followed by a rally in Kaffirs on Friday and today there was another ana heavier fall in the price or South African mining stocks, the decline in some cases amounting to £20 to £30 per share. Tho decline ap pears to be due to the al..rm of French investors whose hands have been forced by the coulissimers (small stock brokers) who Insisted that pending settlement, clients who havo bought shares must take them or closo their accounts. As the leaders of the market did not show any disposition to sell ths market stiffened and values improved. It is recognized that many of tbe Kaffir shares aro standing too high for their intrinsic merits, but it is not believed that there will be a big permanent col- lapse so long aa tho big operators support tnat market. In tbe word jf amusement, tbe action on Wednesday last of the licensing com- mittee of the county council in granting an unconditional license to the Empire theater was the most interesting feature of the week Tbere win a large crowd of interested spectators at tho meeting, but Mrs. Ormiston Chant,who made so much trouble for the Empire in opposing the granting of its license, and who was then successful in hairing its privileges very much curtailed, failed to put in an ap- pearance, and there was practically no opposition to granting the full license asked for. George Edwards, manager of tho Empire,testified that tho restrictions which the committee of the county coun- cil placed on his establishment last year affecting chief!/ the "drinking auditor- Mini" and the free circulation in all parts of the house of dcmimondaines, had in- volved a loss of $100,003 in the profits (luring the past year, and that the divi- dend declared this year was only 40 per cent as against 70 por cent In previous years. The "victory" of the Empire theater, it is now claimed, shows how completely London has repudiated the so-called "puritan policy" which prevailed last year. The Empire has not only regained the right to open the famous promcnndo and to sell drinks in the auditorum, but the application for full licenses from all of the otlter London muscal hails were agreed to witnout condition. Several ol tbe metropolitan newapapera naturally commented on tne fact that Mrs. Ormiston Chant bas not even found the cause worthy of postponing her lec- turing tour in America. The l'all Mall Gazette, referring to the subject, said a day or two ago: "Now having become a person of some name, she has left her weaker sisters and younger brothers, for whom she pleaded bo eloquently a year ago, and has gone to America in order to transmit her name into dollars." The Pall Mall Gazette comments are hardly fair. She was a 'person of some iiiime" long before her crusade against the Umpire theater, being one of the rep- resentatives of womanhood wh9 went to the world's fair at Ohicaeo to take part in the special exercises held there by women and she was ore of the delesates to the woman's parliament held al Wash- inpon in i 893. This is understood to be Mrs. Chant's fourth visit to America and not her first as tho Pall Mall Gazette seems to suppose. The Duke of Marlbor- ough** colors, olive green, with light blue sleeves and cap, have been resister- ed under both the jockey club and nn- tinnul hunt, rules which naturally has eiven rise to the report that the duke contemplates the establishment of a largo stable and tbat Lad* Kandolp Chnrbchill bus become a racing horse owner, her partnership in promising 2-year-olds having been registered.

Lady .lenno's article In a popular peri- sdical on cycling hss attracted consider- ible attention in view of the fact that ;he writer is the wife ol the well-known indge of probate, divorce and admiralty division of the high court of justice and slso because she is popular in the highest society and an authority on social lines- lions She says that she thinks that oloomers have no average whatever over short, well cut skirts, while the former, in-ber opinion, are less comfortable and ess graceful to wear, which would seem 10 show tlint the writer bas tried them. Lady Jcnue further claims that woman Is not made to wear tight-fitting apparel, Hid that when she does she becomes " gly and misshapen." Bister Mary Regis, who bas done so finch to establish the lace industry of Wuughal, Ireland, ia dead. Bhe designed Dime really magnificent lleces of lace work, including the splen- lid lace fan which was presented by Karl "rewc to the Duchess of York upon tho lecasiun of her marriage two years ago. In Lady Colin Campbell's Realm this veek Gertrude Atberton has an article in t-bich she makes a vigorous defense of Americans, especially American girls, as in answer to the papers recent st- acks. She says that the papers judge rimericans by the "vulgar thousands who ?usn to Europe to spend their newly nade dollars and by the 'popper girls* vho cross their leglets and eat candy in ihe reading rooms of tbe Grand or Metro- sole." , ihe funeral of McKenzie, tbe famous 'whip" of Colchester, took place during ihe week. He was prominent in the loaching world and will be remembered y many people in the United States, laving taken over a batch of Engliah loaobes to the world'u fair. At tbe national temperance congress at Chester on Friday a letter from the Right Hon. W. E. Oladstone was read and caused quite a flutter in the temperance world. Mr. Gladstone wrote that be does not believe in local option, of which he adds he has only a poor opinion. He spoke favorably of the Gothenburg sys- tem, hinted that the plan of free trade willi high licenses deservea a trial, and was emphatic in asserting that the hold- er of a license is the only person in re- gard to whom a word regarding compen- sation ought over to be mentioned. Paderewski sailed for New York Octo- ber 1 in order to give twenty-nine piano recitations there and in the states. He will also appear in Chicago In January and at Han Francisco and Salt Lake in March. The Daily News today announced that it is assured upon good authority that the Marquis of Salisbury has dciinitely resolved to appoint a new poet Inurcate, and that he will ho found in the ranks of journalism.

Cowles of the United States embassy, with other guests, made a trial trip to the mouth of the river Thames today on board the torpedo de- stroyer Sokel. which tho Yarrow Ship- building company built for Russia.

FROM THE KAISER'S REALMS Agrarian Activity Pending the Reichstag Session RUSSO. GERMAN COURTESY The Cologne Espionage Affair Is Devel. oping Widely Phylloxera Hakes Its Appearance?An Ameri- can Citizen Fined for Evasion of tier- man miliary Duty Asoclated Press Special Wire BERLIN, Oct. s.?Emperor Wiliam be- ing away from the capital, political dull- ness feigned during the past week in Ber- lin. The bundesrath, however, meets next week and the Agrarian depression will be one of tbe first subjects discussed by that body. The Agrarians hove been very acitve throughout the summer. Jn a speech this week Count Yon Konitz, their leader, declared that his grain monopoly bill would come before the reicbstag during the coming session. He added tbat he expected something help- ful would be done. The Agrarians have made alliances and havo understandings with the whole of the right and part cf the center party and tbey think they will have a majority this time. The chief subject of speculation recently bas been the contents of Emperor William's letter to tho czar and as to whether it was poli- tical or not. Count yon Moltke, the emptror's aide- de-camp who took the missive to the czar, has started on his return to Berlin with an autographMctter from Russia's ruler. The count was everywhere received in the kindest manner. In an audience which he had with the czar, the latter spoke in tbo most flattering terms of the emperor of Germany. According to nn account published today tbe emperor's letter to the czar was nothing more than nn invitaiton for him to be present at a shooting party to bo held at Trakenen on the Russian frontier, and Emperor Nicholas is said to have replied that his decision would depend upon the health of tho empress, who is on tho eve of her accouchment. In any case, it is added, the meeting would be entirely private. The Cologne espionage affair la devel- oping widely, important information having been obtained since tbe arrest of tlio men presumed to be French oflicers or agents of France. Major yon Kaelkka of tbe ministry, and Captain yon Theu- menalott of tbo general staff, have ar- rived at Cologne to investigate the mat- ter. A number of further arrests have been ninde, and, in addition, a woman named Kichtcr has been arrested at Magdeburg on one charge of having acted as the paid medium of communication between a I'iercli army officer and an employee of the Gruzon Steel works, who furnished tlio French officer through her drawing mudels ol iron clad vessels, guns and carriages, etc., to be used in these forts and Invalualbe plans of the German defenses. The arrest of the couple is said to have been brought about through the fact that the woman nnd the employee of the Gruzon works have Deen noticed spending quite a largo amount of French gold. This aroused suspicions and their arrest followed. The preliminary Inquiry into the case is now said to be nearly completed, and the whole matter will soon be submitted to the central mili- tary authorities in Berlin. Somo new arrests have nisi been mnno in Berlin, including that of lime, Snwar- ine, the widow of v major in the Russian army. The ovidence thus far obtained seems to show beyond any doubt that the models and parts of guns nnd rifles of the Krupp works at Essen, as well as from the Gruzon works at Magdeburg, besides drawings of different frontier cities, have passed through the hands of tho accused to France during tho past year. Tho case will be tried in the imperial courts at Leipsio within n week. The North German Gazette announces that an agreement was signed at Hankow yesterday by the German consul there granting to Germany the concessions now enjoyed by Great Britain. The vineyards of Sausenbeim. district of Bavaria, are infested with phylloxera.

NORTHERN PACIFIC AFFAIRS Importance of the Action of the New York Court The Books if the Company are Not Accessible to the New Management?lnter- est Due MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Oct. s.?The or- der of Judge Laconibo In tbe United States court at New York restraining the former receivers of the Northern Pacilic from turning over to their successors any of the moneys or properties of the com- pany within his jurisdiction is not apt to be fullyappreciated, nut it is a most im- portant one, not only from tho fact that there is considerable money deposited in New York, but because the booKs of the company aro in that city, and if tlie ro- ceivcrs, especially Receiver lligelow, who has cLaree of tbe finances, arc* not to havo access to them there will bo almost insurmountable obstacles to overcome. Thero aro two obligations which must be met on November 1. One is tho interest on the mortgage bonds of the Missouri division of the road. This division lies wholly within Judge Caldwell's jurisdic- tion, and the amount due is over $75,000, while tho sinking fund charges to be paid on tne same, amount to something over $17,000; but these amounts are insig- nificant in comparison with the; other obligations. Interest to the amount of more than $3,000,000 is due on the collat- eral trust notes and it is imperative that til is obligation be met promptly. Tho collateral trust fund is one of the most important the receivers are charged with looking after, and default in the interest will be almost fatul to the inter- est of tbe bondholders. BT, PAUL, Minn., Oct. O.?A Helena, Mont., special to the Pioneer Press says: The report that Judge Knowles has appointed Mr. Burleigh receiver of tho Nortnern Pacific for Montana, thus ex- tending his jurisdiction to tho western border of Dakota, is a mistake.

Foater on the condi tionof the missions and the natives from I'ilestine to Japan. He aaid, in speaking of the recent Chinese outrages, tbat a man should be chary of condemniag them without consideration. They wen- no more cruel ana no more discreditable to the authorities than the Wyoming massacre uf the Chinese in 18112. More- over, the Chineue government was even now moving for the punishment of tho guilty parties and for the payment of dam- ages, whereas in the United States the I guilty parties were never punished and I the payment of damages was long de- I layer!.

PRICE FIVE CENTS

IN THE QUEEN'S DOMINIONSEnglish Speculators Still Crazy

Over Kaffirs

A COLLAPSE NOT IMMINENT

The Unconditional Licensing of the Em.pire Theater

Indicates That London Has Repudiated tbe

Puritan Policy?Notes of Personsand Peraons of Note

Associated Press Special Wire.LONDON, Oct. s.?The feature of the

financial world during the past week wasthe prolonging of the craze here for

Kaffirs (South African mining shares)

and the postponement of tne expected

crash in those securities, whicfh has beenpredicted for sometime past.

The main point of interest in the worldof politics was the rioting at Constanti-nople and the subsequent decline in thesympathy hitherto teit apparently badly

fur the oppressed and much massacredArmenians.

There was quite a slump followedby a rally in Kaffirs on Friday and todaythere was another ana heavier fall in

the price or South African mining stocks,

the decline in some cases amounting to£20 to £30 per share. Tho decline appears to be due to the al..rm of Frenchinvestors whose hands have been forced

by the coulissimers (small stock brokers)

who Insisted that pending settlement,clients who havo bought shares musttake them or closo their accounts. As theleaders of the market did not show anydisposition to sell ths market stiffenedand values improved.

It is recognized that many of tbe Kaffirshares aro standing too high for theirintrinsic merits, but it is not believedthat there will be a big permanent col-lapse so long aa tho big operators supporttnat market.

In tbe word jf amusement, tbe actionon Wednesday last of the licensing com-mittee of the county council in grantingan unconditional license to the Empiretheater was the most interesting featureof the week Tbere win a large crowd ofinterested spectators at tho meeting, butMrs. Ormiston Chant,who made so muchtrouble for the Empire in opposing thegranting of its license, and who was thensuccessful in hairing its privileges verymuch curtailed, failed to put in an ap-pearance, and there was practically noopposition to granting the full licenseasked for. George Edwards, manager oftho Empire,testified that tho restrictions

which the committee of the county coun-cil placed on his establishment last year

affecting chief!/ the "drinking auditor-

Mini" and the free circulation in all partsof the house of dcmimondaines, had in-volved a loss of $100,003 in the profits(luring the past year, and that the divi-dend declared this year was only 40 percent as against 70 por cent In previousyears.

The "victory" of the Empire theater,it is now claimed, shows how completelyLondon has repudiated the so-called"puritan policy" which prevailed lastyear. The Empire has not only regainedthe right to open the famous promcnndoand to sell drinks in the auditorum, butthe application for full licenses from allof the otlter London muscal hails wereagreed to witnout condition.

Several ol tbe metropolitan newapaperanaturally commented on tne fact thatMrs. Ormiston Chant bas not even foundthe cause worthy of postponing her lec-turing tour in America.

The l'all Mall Gazette, referring to thesubject, said a day or two ago:

"Now having become a person of somename, she has left her weaker sisters andyounger brothers, for whom she pleadedbo eloquently a year ago, and has gone toAmerica in order to transmit her nameinto dollars."

The Pall Mall Gazette comments arehardly fair. She was a 'person of someiiiime" long before her crusade againstthe Umpire theater, being one of the rep-resentatives of womanhood wh9 went tothe world's fair at Ohicaeo to take partin the special exercises held there bywomen and she was ore of the delesatesto the woman's parliament held al Wash-inpon in i893. This is understood to beMrs. Chant's fourth visit to America andnot her first as tho Pall Mall Gazetteseems to suppose. The Duke of Marlbor-ough** colors, olive green, with lightblue sleeves and cap, have been resister-ed under both the jockey club and nn-tinnul hunt, rules which naturally haseiven rise to the report that the dukecontemplates the establishment of a largostable and tbat Lad* Kandolp Chnrbchillbus become a racing horse owner, herpartnership in promising 2-year-oldshaving been registered. The friends ofthe late Lord Handclph Churcuill arcabout to call a meeting for the purpose olraising a subscription for a statue to hismemory in the central lobby of tne housetl commons.

Lady .lenno's article In a popular peri-sdical on cycling hss attracted consider-ible attention in view of the fact that;he writer is the wife ol the well-knownindge of probate, divorce and admiraltydivision of the high court of justice andslso because she is popular in the highestsociety and an authority on social lines-lions She says that she thinks thatoloomers have no average whatever overshort, well cut skirts, while the former,in-ber opinion, are less comfortable andess graceful to wear, which would seem10 show tlint the writer bas tried them.

Lady Jcnue further claims that womanIs not made to wear tight-fitting apparel,Hid that when she does she becomes" gly and misshapen."

Bhe designed Dime really magnificentlleces of lace work, including the splen-lid lace fan which was presented by Karl"rewc to the Duchess of York upon tholecasiun of her marriage two years ago.

In Lady Colin Campbell's Realm thisveek Gertrude Atberton has an article int-bich she makes a vigorous defense ofAmericans, especially American girls, asin answer to the papers recent st-acks. She says that the papers judgerimericans by the "vulgar thousands who?usn to Europe to spend their newlynade dollars and by the 'popper girls*vho cross their leglets and eat candy inihe reading rooms of tbe Grand or Metro-sole.", ihe funeral of McKenzie, tbe famous'whip" of Colchester, took place duringihe week.

Chester on Friday a letter from the RightHon. W. E. Oladstone was read andcaused quite a flutter in the temperanceworld. Mr. Gladstone wrote that be doesnot believe in local option, of which headds he has only a poor opinion. Hespoke favorably of the Gothenburg sys-tem, hinted that the plan of free tradewilli high licenses deservea a trial, andwas emphatic in asserting that the hold-er of a license is the only person in re-gard to whom a word regarding compen-sation ought over to be mentioned.

A number ot naval attaches, includingCommander \V. S. Cowles of the UnitedStates embassy, with other guests, madea trial trip to the mouth of the riverThames today on board the torpedo de-stroyer Sokel. which tho Yarrow Ship-building company built for Russia.

The Cologne Espionage Affair Is Devel.oping Widely

Phylloxera Hakes Its Appearance?An Ameri-can Citizen Fined for Evasion of tier-

man miliaryDuty

Asoclated Press Special WireBERLIN, Oct. s.?Emperor Wiliam be-

ing away from the capital, political dull-ness feigned during the past week in Ber-lin. The bundesrath, however, meetsnext week and the Agrarian depressionwill be one of tbe first subjects discussedby that body. The Agrarians hove beenvery acitve throughout the summer. Jna speech this week Count Yon Konitz,their leader, declared that his grainmonopoly bill would come before thereicbstag during the coming session. Headded tbat he expected something help-ful would be done. The Agrarians havemade alliances and havo understandingswith the whole of the right and part cfthe center party and tbey think they willhave a majority this time. The chiefsubject of speculation recently bas beenthe contents of Emperor William's letterto tho czar and as to whether it was poli-tical or not.

Count yon Moltke, the emptror's aide-de-camp who took the missive to theczar, has started on his return to Berlinwith an autographMctter from Russia'sruler.

The count was everywhere received inthe kindest manner. In an audiencewhich he had with the czar, the latterspoke in tbo most flattering terms of theemperor of Germany. According to nnaccount published today tbe emperor'sletter to the czar was nothing more thannn invitaiton for him to be present at ashooting party to bo held at Trakenenon the Russian frontier, and EmperorNicholas is said to have replied that hisdecision would depend upon the healthof tho empress, who is on tho eve of heraccouchment. In any case, it is added,the meeting would be entirely private.

The Cologne espionage affair la devel-oping widely, important informationhaving been obtained since tbe arrest oftlio men presumed to be French oflicersor agents of France. Major yon Kaelkkaof tbe ministry, and Captain yon Theu-menalott of tbo general staff, have ar-rived at Cologne to investigate the mat-ter. A number of further arrests havebeen ninde, and, in addition, a womannamed Kichtcr has been arrested atMagdeburg on one charge of having actedas the paid medium of communicationbetween a I'iercli army officer and anemployee of the Gruzon Steel works, whofurnished tlio French officer through herdrawing mudels ol iron clad vessels, gunsand carriages, etc., to be used in theseforts and Invalualbe plans of the Germandefenses. The arrest of the couple is saidto have been brought about through thefact that the woman nnd the employee ofthe Gruzon works have Deen noticedspending quite a largo amount of Frenchgold. This aroused suspicions and theirarrest followed. The preliminary Inquiryinto the case is now said to be nearlycompleted, and the whole matter willsoon be submitted to the central mili-tary authorities in Berlin.

Somo new arrests have nisi been mnnoin Berlin, including that of lime, Snwar-ine, the widow of v major in the Russianarmy. The ovidence thus far obtainedseems to show beyond any doubt that themodels and parts of guns nnd rifles of theKrupp works at Essen, as well as fromthe Gruzon works at Magdeburg, besidesdrawings of different frontier cities, havepassed through the hands of tho accusedto France during tho past year. Tho casewill be tried in the imperial courts atLeipsio within n week.

The North German Gazette announcesthat an agreement was signed at Hankowyesterday by the German consul theregranting to Germany the concessions nowenjoyed by Great Britain.

The vineyards of Sausenbeim. districtof Bavaria, are infested with phylloxera.The authorities of Munich aro doingeverything possible to localise the evil, as

its spread would endanger the whole vineculture of the Palatina.

He was arrested while visiiinXhis home and lined 150 marks for evasionof military duty in 188H. alter his emigration. The money was paid under protest.

MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Oct. s.?The or-der of Judge Laconibo In tbe UnitedStates court at New York restraining theformer receivers of the Northern Pacilicfrom turning over to their successors anyof the moneys or properties of the com-pany within his jurisdiction is not apt tobe fullyappreciated, nut it is a most im-portant one, not only from tho fact thatthere is considerable money deposited inNew York, but because the booKs of thecompany aro in that city, and if tlie ro-ceivcrs, especially Receiver lligelow, whohas cLaree of tbe finances, arc* not tohavo access to them there will bo almostinsurmountable obstacles to overcome.Thero aro two obligations which must bemet on November 1. One is tho intereston the mortgage bonds of the Missouridivision of the road. This division lieswholly within Judge Caldwell's jurisdic-tion, and the amount due is over $75,000,while tho sinking fund charges to bepaid on tne same, amount to somethingover $17,000; but these amounts are insig-nificant in comparison with the; otherobligations. Interest to the amount ofmore than $3,000,000 is due on the collat-eral trust notes and it is imperative thattil is obligation be met promptly.

Tho collateral trust fund is one of themost important the receivers are chargedwith looking after, and default in theinterest will be almost fatul to the inter-est of tbe bondholders.

BT, PAUL, Minn., Oct. O.?A Helena,Mont., special to the Pioneer Press says:The report that Judge Knowles hasappointed Mr. Burleigh receiver of thoNortnern Pacific for Montana, thus ex-tending his jurisdiction to tho westernborder of Dakota, is a mistake.
