Aug-. 4.-fhere ta very project that Cowea wek, which will b(ln Monday, will prova even more brilliant than any similar event of recent fears. The attendance of royalty, the great attraction for those who o to Cowea for the social side of the regatta, will be rendered more Interesting by the presence thla year of Kins Alfonso and Queen 'Victoria. ' Besldea the Spanish royal eoupls, however, Kln Edward and Queen Alex andra and the prince of Walea and other membera of the royal famliy will be present. Per yachtsmen, too. the regatta holds out. great promise, there being a great gathering of yachts of every else and de scription here preparing for the races for prties offered by King Edward, Emperor William, private donors and clubs. The king's prise will be sailed nest Tues day by yachts owned by members of the royal yaoht squadron while Emperor Will iam's trophy will be competed tor the fol lowing day. Emperor William has a further Interest In the regatta than the race for hla prise, his Meteor being one of the en trants for the king's cup. King Alfonso has brought a email yacht to Cowea, but he has not as yet decided whether he will race It. Xing Edward's Brlttanla Is an chored off Cowea, but hla majeaty will not be an active participant In the competition "thla year. Of pleasure yachts there la a large fleet. Including King .Alfonso's Qlralda, . King - Edward's Victoria and Albert, and the prince of Wales' Oe borne and hundreds of others. The only American boat now at Cowea la Allison V. Armour's Utowana. Aa- Interesting feature of the regatta "will be a race for motor auxiliaries. The race will be partly under power alone and partly under sail alor.e. An effort will be made to revive schooner racing and there are two events on the program for vessels of this class. Aftsr Inspecting the battleship Dread naught at Portsmouth today King Edward . and Queea Alexandra and the royal per sonagee of the party went aboard the Vio lor la and Albert and eame to Cowea. Their majesties exchanged visits with King Al tfonao and Queen Victoria on board the royat yachts. CIIW M AUK IP OP OMAHA ME ' rettawattnsale Will Go to Lake ' Wlsaekato at Oshkosh. The crew which will represent the .Council Bluffs Kowlng association on Lake Winnebago at Oshaosh at the miaul reaatta has finally been selected atid Is composed entirely of Omaha boya The crew will be the aame as went down to Cefeat at St. Joseph a short time ago and will consist of bklpper Clark, with Art C'ooley, Harry Tukey and faul Cooley as members or the crew. 1 ne ooat taken - " will be the Pottawattamie. Thla will be the first boat of Captain Robbing to enter the big regatta, aa the boat used for the last two years has beun built by a northern builder, to be raccj at Oshkosh against boats built by thi eame man. The Pottawattamie la the latest product of Captain Robbins, ant, although beaten at fct- Joseph by anothur ' one ef his boats under adverse circum stances, still H has been able to beat any of the northern boala at Lke uintwd. . It It doee aa well on the larger lakes as tit haa on Lake Manawa the boya should 1 be able te wire good newa home. Lake , tVtquebago Is 14x16 miles In else. The boat eeme to have plenty of speed and the tars of the club have the utmost confl uence ef winning out. The assoclatlon'a crews have won two sejeods and a third, but have never taken trie) big ortse. The . Pottawattamie la a -las O boat, built by A ayndlvate. ao1 tf. periTiiure. first prUtf should be brought home tnere Is no doubt aUaA. a larger teat wul be built for naal GTORZ year to compete In the class A races. The sailors at Oshkosh have a most friendly feeling for the boys from Man awa and that crew Is the only one to en ter the regatta which comes from such a distance. The oil sailors of the rea are at a -lose to understand how the plulnj of Nebraska and the rolling hills of Iowa , can turn out such flrst-claas sailors. The snowing maae during tne last tnree years Torres the other crews to notice their coming and, the fear for the result when they enter the lists. The fart that the Council Bluffs Rowing association will send a home-built boat will bs another matter which will attract more attention this fall. The Council Bluffs boys will have another competitor this year in the shape of the Sylvia from 8t. Joseph, entered by the Lotus club. This Is the boat which beat the Iowa boat In June and the Man awa boya are anxloua to get a chance to race that boat away from home. captain Robblna came to Manawa In the hope of building a boat which would be able to show the bovs of the north tho , way around the course and thus establlKh his reputation as a lUoat builder, and In- I dkatlons are he will rnme near to having his dream j-eallxed. If it Is not ac-! eompllshed. In fact. The boat will leave ' for Oshkosh August 20 and the crew on tne nad, the racea to take place August 25. WAIDSER WHS FROM EMERSON Chicago Man Will Meet.

This meeting 'will continue until August 18, and beginning at that time there will be another to continue until the end of the month. In early September there will be a third.

Thursday's weather report showi one and one-fourfh Inches of rain In the Maryland-New Jersey district. Spot gooos are not yet down to the basis of futures, but are pretty close to It, so that there Is not much decline In sight n spot goods and the dealers can safety carry a limited quantity of spots. There is no change to report either on spot or future canned corn. The demand Is very good for this season of the year and the market Is well sustained. The last week has shown an advance of 10c per case in both quarter oil and three quarter mustard sirdlnes. The situation Is In very much better chape, the packers evi dently being able to control prices as well as production. No change is reported In salmon prices, but the demand Is exceedingly good and covering all grades. The market has advanced on spot Cali fornia canned fruits, in sympathy with the prices of futures. Most of the packers are I entire! entirely sold out on cherries, apricots snd , tmon cln(r p,aches. and are effering gallon enods f all grades verv sparingly.

Raw sugars have been continually ad vancing during the wifk, prices ranging from l-16o to 3-32c higher thnn a week ago in New York, with a corresponding ad vance In London. P.eiined sugars remained practically the name until Friday, when the Howell and Arbuckle refineries ad vanced the list 10c per hundred pounds. This was followed by an advance of fie per hundred pounds by the American com pany at New Orleans, with the expectation thnt the other refiners would raise their prices in t. day or two. Still stlffer prices are looked for at an early dnte. as the difference between raws and refined Is 30c to 3V per hundred pounds less than usual. ProHppcts for the fruit crop continue favor able and refiners expect a much larger de mand within the next sixty days thnn for several years past. The cheese market Is continually ad vancing In price. An advance was quoted Friday of lc to lVfrc. with another lncreuse looked for wlthtn thirty days. Paints, Oil and Klaaa. The feature of the market Is the rapidity with which paint Is moving. Bnrn paint In particular Is In heavy demand.

MILLER Exchange of Epistles Brings Abont a Better I'nderstandlng and an Interesting; Note to the Public. OMAHA, Aug. t.-To the Editor of The Bee: Perhaps many renders of The Bee might be Interested In a letter recently received by me from John Share Williams. ! the distinguished minority leader of the ' house, In reply to a friendly criticism on what he had said on the floor In regard to the panic of 1893. Mr. Williams ascribed It to a contraction of the volume of the currency. I ventured to Insist, on the con trary, that It was due to a contraction of confidence and expanded credits. Over tradings, speculation and debt caused the panic of lS'fl. It was not a contraction of the volume of money, but a contraction i,. ,,. k,,oi... ku, .0.....1 1. . " " wl" De Mr- Williams does not attempt to controvert this view of It In his letter, which Is both Interesting and ,,,.,,, ., . " Important, from what he says of the causes and consequences of panics In gen- era!, and also from what he says of the Bryan idea of the quantitative theory of money, which Is un Implied excuse for the false position of democrats on the money question. After declaring that pan ics come under both high and low tariffs, Mr. Williams says: The paradox of economics Is this: of economics Is this: Pro- i M.' pToduUce1 e x pa'nalon V of posed prosperity evidently meant 1, produces expa credits, extension ot the credit system Bives opportunity and f-ds speculation. Speculation, in turn, stretches the specu- ,,,,,, ayllf.m (credit system) to the breaklna nnliit: Danle follows. Just before the panic comes, lack of confidence sets In: ,', ,, , .... ..h h..mlm. ,,' impossible to collect things; they liave gone loo far and panic bursts upon the country. In most instances not upon one country Lilt us in 1617 and 1MM, upon al) countries. After the panic things get upon a cash basts; a period, more or less long, of ue prrssion succeeds, hut risht buineis metli- I ods, after the wrecks are cleared away, lead to prosperity again. Prosperity, in . turn, leads again to specu'.stlon ; the ex- . tension of the credit system to the bursting , point, and so on. The everlasting puradox nl economics may ue rxpresnea 111 one sen tence: Prosperity bleeds panics. A panic, , "methods' " i:ffect of Expansion. I This is a fine statement about the causes snd consequences of panics. Excusing the attitude of "more money" democrats in ISM, Mr. Williams has this to say: We were right this far. that If 11 were the Jlhlng to do to contract the volume, it was the wrong thing to do It at the very time when the credit system was at the point of exploding ana when all credits were being contracted. And here we have the cla Oeluskn of the quantitative theory of money "a popular 1 delusion." says Csrl Schurx in his Life of Henry Clay, "that riches can be created and happiness acquired by a plentiful use of paper money and an artificial Inflation of price. The consequence was tin Ken tucky and everywhere else) what It always Is. The more plenty the paper became the more people ran Into dbt." And Mr. Schurx might have truthfully added, the greater the Inflation of prices tl:e m'jre certain and crushing would be the 10I laps. Any Issue of paper money as a remedy (or preventive) of the panic of 1S9J would have made matters worse before and utterly useless after it. And why? Be cause, and only because, of the destruction of confidence and consequent un'versal commercial and Industrial paralysis. The creditor class did not want to use any money. They were demanding payment. The debtor class could not have obtained any money If a. thousand millions of addi tions! paper money had been Isiued And why again T The simple answer Is, they bad r ; t-V a J np? ' 6. A. no credit. Every dollar of money that might have been Issued In that crisis would have soon gone Into the bank vaults to keep silent company with the Idle millions already there. There was plenty of money with which to mediate exchanges. If, In a broad sense, there had been any exchanges to mediate. The moment confidence began to be restored snd men began to buy and sell, and the wheels of industry began to turn again In the slow progress of debt payment and liquidation, there was no lack of money for every legitimate commercial and Industrial use. To ascribe the return of confidence and the revival of business to an increase of volume produced by In creased production of gold la to expose a gross misconception of the part which money plays In the wide world of buslnctx, J and an absurd misunderstanding of the real "ources of our wealth. It Is the vast productions of the soli, the mine and the factory, In both raw and finished products, that have produced the return of our dangerous prosperity. I use the word dan gerous advisedly. Mr. Williams says that "prosperity breeds panics,'' and he newr said a truer thing In his life. Democrats and rhenp Money. As regards paper money or "cheap nnd nasty" sliver dollar Inflation of the volume of the currency as a remedy for panic" and speculation and the distress resulting from them, I respectfully say that evry democratic statesman worthy of the name, from Jefferson, Jackson, Benton. Van Bu ren, Marey, Wright, Buchanan, Douglas, Gorman, Seyniour, Hendricks and Tllden, the peer aa a financial economist of ariy man who ever lived In the United States, has held the quantitative theory of money to he a rank and fatal heresy.
