Bimetallic league continues to pres-i lie
propaganda with the utmost vigor , and Is
raising a largo fund for Its legitimate pur-

CHINA'S TROUBLE HELPS LITTLE.
It Is noted here that tnb proposed Chlncsi
loan of 160,000,000 which will probably bi
opened la Paris next week , has not had an ;
appreciable effect on the price of silver
Eastern banks sent largo amounts of sllve

when the Indemnity loan comes to bi

armaments and supplies , so that the domain
for silver may not bo large even then. Eng

vigorous measures by the efforts of the BI

blmetalllsts as proof of the great strides o >

SOKIA , Bulgaria , June 15 Advices were
received hero today from Krooshowa , Mace
donia , telling of two startling occurrences
which may be followed by much more seri
ous trouble In that district. The first dis
turbance was caused , according to all ac
counts , bj a Turkish policeman , who killed
a young woman on the evcnlni ; of her mar-
rlago to a young Roumanian. The girl's
two brothers swore vengeance , and the
Turkish policeman nnd ono of his comrades
were killed by them shortly after the death
of the girl. This caused great excitement
In the neighborhood , and attempts wcro
made to capture the brothers , who sought
refuge In n house which they prepared to
defr.nd to the utmost. This building was
eventually surrounded by the Turkish police
and the brothers opened fire upon them
with their guns and revolvers from the windows
dews of the house , and during the affray
killed two more , but the two brothers were
Jiemsclves killed by the Turkish police
1 The firing caused wild excitement every
where In the neighborhood , nnd the com
1
tnnnder of the Turkish troops was obliged to
send for reinforcements In order to main
tain order.
The second story Is even more startling
than the first. According to advices from
the Roumanian village of Waltsche , In the
same district , that place was recently In
vaded during the absence of the male par
' ot Its population by a band of Albania
brigands. The women of Waltsche , how
ever , seized upon whatever weapons thoj
could get hold of nnd made a determine !
resistance to the brigands , who , during th (
fight which followed , killed nine of th (
women , burned the village to the ground am
drove the cattle to their stronghold. Natu
rally , the affair has aroused the most In
tense Indignation against the brigands , am
a strong detachment of troops has beei
sent after them.

LONDON , June 15. Strange as It may
seem , In splto of the fact that London Is
more thronged with visitors and tourists than
for several years past , there Is a general
complaint that the season Is not up to the
high water mark of former years. It Is
claimed that this Is due to the paucity of
court functions , the frequent absence of the
various branches of the royal family from the
capital , and last , but not least , to the fact
that many of the Great English families
are still compelled to curtail their expenses
considerably in view of losses of various
descriptions , due to the hardness of the
times , resulting in the contraction of rent
rolls and other such Inconveniences. As a
result of this economical spirit prevailing
among members of the aristocracy , none of
the entertainments given have approached
In lavlshncss those of former days. Natu
rally , this state of affairs caused a good deal
of grumbling among the swell West End
tradesmen , but they are somewhat making
up for It by catering to the crowds of richer
or well-to-do Americans who are now here ,
for a time , at least ; brilliant birds of pas
sage , who spend their money rojally.
Then again , In social circles , the old com
plaint Is heard again that the young men
who appear at the ball are recruited from
the highways , and that the really smart
young men will not dance , and are dally
Becoming more difficult to please. As proof
of this assertion , It Is stated for a recent
ball the marchioness of Londonberry herself
sent out Invitations to 500 bachelors , and
yet she only secured the attendance of 150
of them.
Another marked feature of the season Js
the declining popularity of Hyde park as an
outing ground. This may be due largely
to the fact that bicycles have superseded
horses to a great extent , and It Is found to
be more diverting to watch the wheel riders
In Battersea park than to watch the eques
trians In Rotten Row. U is now "quite the
thing" to picnic In Battersea park , formerly
looked upon aa quito a plebeian resort , and
especially to breakfast there.
RICH AMERICAN SPENDTHRIFTS.
So far as business Is concerned , the shop
keepers' only salvation lies In the Americans
who are arriving hire In larger numbers this
season than ever before. As a result ot this
Influx ot transatlantic visitors the various
e prominent hotels of London duilng the past
few days have been doing a really phenom
enal business. The managers of four of the
largest hostelrles have been Interviewed or
the subject , and they Joined In saying thai
never before In early June has there been
such a rush of ocean travelers to London
Hundreds of people have been turned awav
from the big hotels , and among them were
many of the passengers of the new Amcrlcar
line steamship St. Louis , which fine vessel
completed her maiden trip across the At
lantic on Thursday morning last. Inciden
tally , It may be mentioned that many oi
the passengers of the St. Louis had trying
experiences after arriving In London. Wltl
their baggage , large and small , piled ouUldi
and Inside cabs , they spent most of Thurs
day driving about the city looking for ac
commodatlons at the hotels or elsewhere
( ]
le Naturally , this state ot affairs Is causing
hotel men of Uie British capital to swell wltl
pride , and they say that they are more con-
' vlnced every year that London Is taking tin
place which Paris formerly occupied In thi
hearts of Americans for shopping purposes
1)9 that as It may , there ts no doubt that al
" the American tourists are making a longei
* ' stay here this year than usual.
So far as fashion U concerned It Is notice
able that the hats of the ladles are becoming
more and more startling as the season ad
vances. For Instance , a fashionable Wes
End millinery displays 'the very latest" li
ladles' headgear. Pohcd on Its front is i
dove with outstretched wings around a smal
rivlero of diamonds.

INTEREST IN SPORTING MATTERS.
What excites the greatest Interest' In sport
Ing circles Is the proposed visit of ai
Oxford-Cambridge athletic team to the
United States. The sporting and other
papers all devote much space to discussing
the proposed cverit. After co-nmentlng a
length on the suggested contest , the Sporting
and Dramatic News says : "As If to Impress
the desire for International competitions we
have the Cornell crew' here. To Journey
3,000 miles and keep more than a dozen mer

The coming Oxford and Cambridge sport

converse In the seven leading languages. The
newspaper men , however , ore already com
plaining greatly , not of the manner in which
they have been treated , but of the way In
which It ts proposed to treat them during the
fetes. According to the program the press
steamer will not be allowed to Join In the
procession through the canal , and , moreover
she will be stationed In such an awkwan'
position that those on board of her will be
able to see little or nothing of the cere
monies. Naturally , this has caused con
siderable discontent among the newspaper
fraternity and al | tlie bB | newspapers have
been compelled to take other steps to ob
tain the Information they deslro to present
In their columns.
At the Imperial banquet at Holtenau
Emperor William will toast the Uultec
States navy and the band will play "Hal
Columbia. "
FEAR THE BANKS WILL CAVE.
In spite of the official statements to the c-
fect that the canal Is safe and ready for
navigation , competent engineers who have In
spected the new waterways express th3 opinion
hat It Is quite possible that the banks wll
cave In during the passage of the big war
. hips.
The lavish character of the hospitality
which will bo extended to the crews of the
various foreign ships at Kiel may be Judged
Irom the fact that a contract made with !
Hamburg firm provides for the supply o
fourteen tons of fresh meat dally , 2,000 bet
ties of wine , 200 bottles of spirits , 10,000
bottles of betr , 0,000 gallons of beer In cask
and 1,000 gallons of milk , apart from the
ordinary rations on board.
Politics In the meanwhile a-e In a verj
muddled condition. The agrarians , In coal
Itlon with the conservatives , have again
started a bitter campaign against the prcsen
cabinet , with the Intention of securing th
dismissal of Dr. Von Boottlclier. the Im
portal secretary of elate for the Interior
Baron Marshal von Blcbensteln , the Imperla
minister for foreign affairs , and Baron voi
Berlepsch , the Prussian minister of com
merce , to whoee opposition they attribute !
the government's refusal to sanction any o
the big agrarian schemes. The consarvatlvc
also point to the latest developments of th
China-Japan Imbroglio , especially In th
Chinese loan , as showing that Baron von
Blebersteln's foreign policy has been a com
fleto fiasco. The agrarians are pushing th
agitation against American cereals , especial !
prepared oatmeal.
EMPEROR VERY BUSY.

LONDON , Juno 15 ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram ) The remark
able collection of paintings by masters of the
early English school belonging to the estate
of the late James Price was sold by auction
today at Christie's , on King street , St
James Square. Mr. Price , who was a coun
try gentleman living at Barcombe , Palgu-
ton , South Devon , was not only an eminent
connoisseur , but sought In the collection of
those canvas's the advice of several of the
most prominent of the Royal Academicians
The attention of amateurs Is turning today
strongly to English pictures. In America
there Is a growing fashion for the landscape"
of Constable , the marines of Turner and Hit
chef d'oeuvres of portraltura of Reynolds
and Gainsborough. Dealers are striving to
be In a position to meet with commercial
success In this fashion. This particular sale
being one of the most Important held In
many jears , In view of the extreme excel
lence of Its examples , was discussed every
where. The attendance was large and In
cluded , in addition to Mr. Sedolmeyer and
other experts from Paris , a contingent of
New York dealers. Among these were1
Rowland Knoedler , Herman Schaus , Lamy
of Boussod , Waladon & Co , and representa
tives of other New York houses Mr. George
A. Hern of New York , who already possesses
a large collection ot English paintings , was
present , and It ts known that Mr. H. O
Havemever visited the galleries during the
preliminary exhibition and manifested great
ntcrest.
Ninety-one canvaees wcro sold and
brought In the sum ot 82,995 guineas. The
greater number were purchased by Mr
Wlldam Agnew , one ot the leading London
art dealers on private orders. Whether any
of the commissions had an American origin
could not bo ascertained today. The sensa
tion of the sab was the knocking down ot
the Gainsborough portrait of Lady Mulgrave
'for 10,000 guineas. After the bids reached
3,00ft guineas the contestants were reduced
to two , Mr. Agnew , the deahr , and a pleas
ant-faced , well dressed voting man , who
raised the other 100 guineas at a time with a
nonchalcnt manner , but with a voice In
which there was unmistakably the tramor of
excitement. All the dealers rose In their
seats and gazed at the stranger. Ills bid of
10,000 guineas carried tlio daj. Ho stepped
up to the old auctioneer , who for nearly
forty > ears has presided at these bales , and
with a view of keeping his name secret
offered the money In cash. The applause
which greeted the high bid , a fortune for a
piece of painted canvas 29x24V4 Inches ,
merged Into laughter , which greeted Chris-
tic's remark that n vcr before had any on :
offered him so larg > a sum.
The buyer turned out to bo Mr. A. Camp
bell , a wlno merchant of thp city. The
portrait Is ono of Galn bo'ough'a best. It
is oval. Lady Mulgrave has her head
turned over the right shoulder. She Is ut-
tlred In a white gown , over which Is thrown
a black mantle. The gown Is trimmed with
ostrich tips. The hair Is powdered. The
portrait may bo described as a study in
black and white , exquisite In character ,
softly , delicately painted , a veritable gem.
Other notable sales Included the grouj ;
portrait of Sir Joshua Reynolds , J. Bacon ,
the sculptor , and Sir W. Chambers , the
architect. It was painted by T. F. Rlgaud ,
R. A. It was bought by the National Portrait
trait gallery for CIO guineas , A strong
landscape by W. Muellen Carnarvon cas
tle sold for 300 guineas to an unknown ,
who informed the spectators through Ills
representative , that ho would donate the
canvas to the nation. The collection In-
eluded thrco Morlands , two Cronies , twc
Wllkles , two Etts , two BcecheyB. six Tur
ners , a most magnificent Cotman , n
Landseer , two Muellers , ton Galneboroughs ,
live Romneys and seven Reynolds. To one
familiar with large auction rales In New
York , this sale lacked rtvle. Those present
sat on hard bcnchen or Uood against the
walls. The auctioneer was dry and prosaic. .
The pictures were badly shown iu the mosl
cruel of lights , and there was no attempt
to produce an aesthetic environment of o
stimulating character , and yet tlin ninety-
one canvases brought In nearly half a mil
lion dollars.

Talesmen the Crlnio vVn Com
mitted In Holt County.
DUTTE. Neb , Juno 15. ( Special Tele
gram ) After consuming the whole day ex
amining prospective Jurors court adjourned
this evening with a fair prospect of securing
a Jury to try the men accused of the lynch
ing of Bairctt Scott. Man after man waa
called , but after being thoroughly ques
tioned as to his qualifications and eligibility
to sit as a Juror , was challenged and passed
for cause.
The defense exercised thirteen peremptory
challenges during llio ihy and the state two ,
leaving thirty-two to the credit of tlio de
fense and six to the state In the examination
moro than 100 talesmen were questioned and
the greater number of them , after the exami
nation of yesterday , were excused oiv the
ground that they had already formed art
opinion as to the county In which Llic alleged
Ijnchlng occurred.
After the state had used Its second per
emptory challenge the Jurj box was filled by
the addition of William Shu'.ty , and Attor
ney Harlrngton asked the court for an ad
journment until Monday morning at S.30.
stating that unless some further cause waa
appaicnt before that tlmo the defense wna
satlbfled with the Jury In the box. Tlio
court Intimated that If an adjournment could
bo had the Btato was Instructed to Issue *
subpoena for the various witnesses , return
able Mondaj morning at 10 o'clock. The dc-
fen o will liavo some forty-five witnesses for
Thursday and the state will liavo about
twenty Mondiy.
General sentiment hero seems to be that
the case will cost Boyd county several
thousand dollars , with but a slim chance for
a conviction of the accused. The attorney ;
general , during the process of the examina
tion , ttatcd In respect to the questions asked
ot the talesmen by the defendant's attorneys
regarding their having nn opinion as to the
county In which the crime was committed ,
that the jurlbdictlonal questions asked
were not at Issue ; and also raised the point
that some of the Jurors had formed an
opinion on the point that Is now raised UK
to the question of guilt or Innocence , which la _
not one for cause. These objections wercy
overruled by the court. )
As It now stands the Juy consists of the
following : Hans Pctirson , George R. Hoi-
brook , Fred Grunthor , Albert Brunian , J.
H. WIlKcnsoii , M. H. Jacoby , J. W. Talrbank. :
Charles Kutdor , Karl Aller , W. F. Rlckctt' '
mil William Shultz. ]
The chances are very good that the state
iv 111 commence submitting Its evidence Mon- '
: lay morning and Attorney Uttley Is of tlio
opinion that It would be all In by Wednesday.
The town has been crowded all day wlta' '
[ armors who had been summoned as tales
