Millions of Foreign Money Must Find Investment in This Co: mtry im the Immediate Fature. . In conversation with a Star reporter this morning cne of the most prominent bank presidents in Washington, and a democrat in his political faith, spoke with much em- Phasis about the coming good times. “The depression we have passed through was due, in my opinion, to distrust,” he said, among other things. “When a man is unsettled in his mind he is not Hable to n.ake any definite plans. He is environed with perplexity and enveloped in doubt, and Icoks out ‘only for the immediate present, preferring to Jet the future take care of itself. That was the mental. condition of every financier in the country during the period which has just come to a close with the passage of the tariff bill. No matter whether the bill is a good one or a bad one, it has had the effect of assuring a certain state of affairs for the next four years at least. If it turns out that it will not se- cure sufficient revenue to pay the running expenses of the government it can be eas- ily remedied in-this regard. The fact that it has been adopted and is a law has clear- ed away the clouds that obscured the vision of the men who have capital to invest, and they can now see plainly what is ahead of them and govern themselves accordingly. A Period of Great Prosperity. “I am convinced, absolutely convinced, that the United States is enicring a period of prosperity not surpassed in its history. Take the crops of the rresent year. Our wheat crop is worth $500,000,000; our hay crop will be worth $40,000,000; it is Impes-, sible to calculate now the encrmous value of the corn crop. Everywhere cise in the world these staple crops are either failures cr are very short. I have no doubt that within the next two years our people will be enjoying the possession of from $500,- £00,000 to $1,600,000,000 of foreign money. American Money Will Stay Here. “The removal of the distrust which I spoke of just now,” he continued, “will have another effect that will be advaniage- ous to our country. It will cause American capital to come out eagerly when American securities are placed on the market. There are some enormous refunding schemes con- templated by several of the great railroad ccrporations, and it will be seen. when the time comes for their fulfillment that Amer- ican bankers and capitalists will take the fecurities offered away from forcign bid- ders. There 1s a general feeling, I find, to keep our money in our own country, and I have no doubt that in the course of a few years many millions of the money paid in interest that now goes abroad will be retained here at home.” Foreigners at Our Mercy. Mr. William B. Hibbs, the well-known broker, in conversation with a Star re- porter this morning, gave a very hopeful Picture of the future. “We have got the fellows on the other side on the run,” he said significantly, al- luding to the foreign dealers in American securities. “‘When they took advantage cf the rise in the market some time-ago to unload-securities on our market we bought them up and now they are buying them back at still higher figures. Take the Northern Pacific, for instance. When the new deal was in progress by which new officers, including Dan Lamont, were to be placed in control, Berlin threw millions of the stock into our market. It was eager- ly taken up. Now the Germans are buying it back at great advances in price. Ameri- can capitalists have plenty cf money to in- vest, and are getting more of it in just the way I have described. The foreigners will have to buy our breadstuffs, too. Our crops are fine; theirs are failures. We are going to get their money in that direction, too. There is no doubt about rich prosperity be- ing right ahead of us. We have every- thing our own way, and knowing this, money will no ionger be allowed to remain idle.” Hopeful Feeling Everywhere. Bankers and brokers generally take the same views of the conditions as those quoted above, and among those merchants and business men who have hitherto per- sisted in taking a pessimistic view of future prospects there is a very evident tendency to take a healthier and more hopeful im- pression of coming good times. a Old Parlor Furniture Made New.

Thomas M. Carr Enters Suit Against Consumers’ Brewing Company. Dennis Conhell and others, incorporators of the Consumers’ Brewing Company, were made defendants in a suit filed yesterday afternoon by Thomas M. Carr, in which the plaintiff claims $31,375, with interest from August 5, 1895. The plaintiff alleges that he originated a valuable idea, which, in its general plan and purpose, contemplated the organiza- tion of an incorporation for the erection of a brewery. He says the defendants became interested in his idea, and at their request, he states, he entered earnestly into the promotion and development of his idea, and from time to time consulted with the defendants and informed them of the pro- gress he was making. An agreement, Mr. Carr declares, was entered into between him and the defend- ants April 1, 189, for the purpose of or- ganizing the company, the defendants to obtain $251,000, or 5i-per cent of the capital stock, of which a one-eighth part, equal to $31,375, was to be transferred and delivered to the plaintiff. < Mr. Carr contends that after he had per- fected all the plans and had selected a site and a name for the company a secret meet- ing of the defendants was held about Au- gust 10, 1895, when the company was or- ganized and incorporated, his name being admitted as one of the i He ts represented by Attorneys and Bailey.

THE NEW WHITE CROOK BUR- LESQUE COMPANY.—It has often been said “the actors make the play,”’ and just as frequently it has been remarked, “the play makes the actors,” and so the waves of contention roll over the troublesome theatrical sea, but Manager Ed. Rush of the White Crook Company, which will be seen at Kernan’s next week, will iliustrate in the make-up of his organization that artists of superior talent and ability are necessary for exceptionally well-written and cleverly constructed manuscripts. The White Crook Company has recently been launched for public approval. The extrava- gant equipment, close attention to detall and. the display of executive managerial ability has. stamped ‘‘success’”. upon the theatre horizon as prominent as the vivid rays of a mammoth “searchlight flashing on the darkest night. The entcr- tainment begins with a new nautical bur- Jetta entitled, “The U. S. Yacht Club,” in- troducing the entire company in merry bits of wit, humor and song. The olio which follows is one of exceptional excellence and includes the Behler Sisters, the dainty chastonettes; the Dolans, eccentric comedy du®; Ed. and Josie Evans, the refined trav- esty stars; Brennen and Williams and oth- ers. .The: concluding feature will be) an original satirical burlesque entitled, ‘ine Klondyke Millionaires.” A score of pre-ty girls, arrayed in natiy costumes, will be a feature. : ——_—_ 81.25 To Baltimore and Re- $1.25 turn vin Pennsylvania Railroad. Tickets on sale Saturday and Sunday, August 21 and 22, good to return until Monday, August 23, on any train. It will be wise fcr those who intend spendirg Sunday at Fortress Monroe, Vir- ginia Beach or Ocean View to engage state rooms on the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company steamer as early as possible. The way orders are now being received indicates that the steamer will again be comfortably filled when it leaves the wharf the coming Saturday with merry parties who will enjoy the fine bath- ing and fishing, the faultless hotel accom- modatiors, and, above all, the two nights on the beautiful Potomac and Chesapeake bay in the cool; salty breezes. The New- port News will leave 7th street wharf Sat- urday evening at 7 o'clock, reaching Nor- folx and Fortress Monroe early Sunday morning, and starting on the return trip the same evening, arriving at this city Monday in ample time for breakfast and business. All the steamers of this line are noted as being the largest and fincst that ply the Potomac and Chesapeake - bay. They are furnished in handsome style, have lar roomy state rooms and serve mest enjoyable meals. The Maryland state republican conven- tion will meet at Qeean City, Md., August Those who contemplate going to Ocean about that time should engage rooms now, as it may be impossible to secure ac- commodatiors later on. This can be done by applying at the effice of John F. Wag- gaman, 700 lith street. Another personally conducted excursion sill leave the Balti- more and Ohio depot next Saturday at p.m. for Ocean City, Md large party will again enjoy § delightful resort. This city by the sea has everything that could add to the pleasure and comfort of excursicnists, and the route down Chesapeake bay and through the “eastern shore” of Maryland makes trav- eling a very great pleasure. Then, too, Ocean City is but four and one-half hours frem Washington, and the return train reaches this city at 10 p.m. Sunday. a Again tomorrow the River Queen will make a week-day run to Chapel Point. Tuesday a crowd that rivaled that usually carried Sundays enjoyed the pleasures of the Point. For those who would avoid the Sunday rushes these trips come in as just the thing. The boat leaves Washington at 9:30 a.m., arrving at the Point about four hours later. On this sail of fifty-five miles no thought is given to the hot town left behind, and one almost forgets that it is warm weather. Then when the grounds :.re reached the crabbing and fishing are as good as the Potomac affcrds at any point, and the salt water bathing is a real treat. On the boat in the cafe the best dinners are to be had. There is also a good hotel on the grounds The entire trip, occupying twelve hours, is one round of pleasure from the time the boat leaves the wharf at Washington. The fare is such that any one who cares for a day's outing of this sort may take it—25 cents makes it easy for all to go. The River Queen leaves at 9:00 tomorrow morning. This is the great night with the Almas Temple. They go to Marshall Hall with their many friends as guests and have planned for their entertainment in a way that would make old hands at the busines: green with envy. Not that these gentle men are novices at this sort of thing, either, Jor their outings in past years have a prominent place in the memories of those who were their guests on those occasions. Three big, distinct shows make up the pro- gram for this evening. The first will be given on the steamer on the way to the Hall. The second on the grounds, and will include the Arab patrol, every one dressed in the same costumes lately used at the session of the Imperial Council at Detroit. The third and last will be given on the steamer on the return trip. Thus every moment of the time is taken up in some novel amusement that leaves room for not one dull minute. Plans for a gala night have been made, and all who enjoy such times as these will regret it if they allow themselves to miss it. The best local talent in a variety of lines is to have places on the program, and the entire ceremonies are under the personal direction of genial ae Hay. The Macalester leaves tonight at 230. The well-known Eastern Athigtic Club will give its second excursion of the sea- son to River View tomorrow, and as East- ein’s excursicns are always enjoyable af- fairs, the usual large attendance is looked for by the committee in charge. There will be all kinds of sports to amuse those who attend, end the different attractions at the View will, as usual, be ready to give pleas- ure to all. Music for dancing will begin at the arrival of the morning boat, and will continue throughout the day and even- ing, so that all who attend can dance to their hearts’ content. The Pentz will leave its wkarf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m., and will return at the usual hours. Friday the Caledonian Club will give an- other excursion to the View. The program for entertainment includes a number of athletic contests for the young boys anid girls, such as the Caledonians always have on their excursions. A large crowd is looked for, and the members of the club are anticipating much pleasure. For those who wish to get away from the city for an cuting of a day or two nothing can be more pleasant and restful than a trip on the water.’ The steamer Harry Randall of Randall's Potomac river line offers special inducements for a trip of this kind. Leaving here any Sunday,. Tuesday or Thursday morning at 7 o'clock, she goes into all the ereeks and landings on the Potomac as far down as Nomini and Lower Machodoc, arriving there and tying up at the wharf about 8 o'clock. This gives an opportunity for fishing, crabbing and bathing. State rooms are to be had on the boat at less than the cost of a room in a hotel, and the passenger can spend the night aboard. The start homeward is made early next morning, and after the river landings are all made the steamer reaches Washington about 9 p.m. The best of meals are served on the steamer. Cept. Barker, Purser Guest and the off- cers are courteous, and everything is done to make the trip a delightful one, and*no better time to take it can be found than during these August days. -_— GROWING IN INTEREST.

Severa! times the officers found stolen property, scme of it over in Virginia,-and it had been sold by colored men. At. the time the harness in Virginia was recovered the of- ficers had- an idea that the thieves did not belong here, and had committed a few thefts while passing through.the city, but subsequent events changed this belief, and the officers'in the various precincts as well as the detectives were interested. It fell to the lot of Policeman James Mulvey of the sixth. precinct to arrest Robert Quict, the alleged leader of - the gang. Robert -has already served two terms in the penitentiary, the police say, and his arrest is considered one of more than the usual importance. He was ap- prehended early Sunday morning on Penn- sylvania avenue, having a sack of harness on his buck at the time. A few minutes belore he was arrested he passed another officer, and in his effort to ward off 8us- picion he made the remark: “Be —— if I ain't tired of this job, get- ting up so early in the morning.’ He dic not make the statement in vain, for this officer did not suppose a man fear- ing arrest would be bold enough to meke such ar: assertion, and he paid no attention to him. - Policeman Mulvey overhauled him, how- ever, with the. result stated. It was learn- ed that two men had been with him just previous to the time of his arrest, and when the case was investigated by the detectives they were told that these men were William Stanton ard Felix Hunter. They were captured yesterday afternoon by I4eut.

He graduated as a physician and practiced in his native state and the adjacent state of Delaware for sev- eral years; but his health becoming im- paired, he gave up his practice. Having in bis youth become proficient in shorthand, he came to Washington in 1853 and became an assistant of Dennis Murphy in report- ing the debates of the Senate. ‘When Jeremiah 8.

Is that hostile to the vublic interests? It is “prejudiced” in favor of its seals, I ad- mit; but what cise should it be for? Not a line of my biological studies of the fur eal has been: altered by. the scores of. natural- ists who have trapped up in my footsteps since 1872-74. = Difference of oginian over given state- ments of fact:natumlly exist:among honest men; but the trutlt as te the facts given as such in my report of /1890 cannot be ques- tioned by anonymeuss‘‘statements” from a State Department:wMecial. ) : BHEXKRY W.

Archbishop Keane returned from his visit ! de Cardinal Gidbons in Baltimcre last night. He left St. Patrick's parsonage early this morning and spent the forenoon visiting friends. Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul is at the Ebbitt House on his way to Elkins, W. Va., where he is to be the guest for the rest of the week of Mr. Richard C. Kere: He will then go to Buffalo. Archbishop Keane will not, in all probability, accom- pany the St. Paul prelate on his trip to West Virginia; he has not, at least, ex- pressed any intention of doing so. The an- nouncement of a formal dinner in honor of Archbishop Keane at the Catholi> Uni versity today was without foundation, so far as the gentlemen named as guests have knowledge. Both Archbishop Keane and Archbixhop Ireland are very much annoyed at the per- sistent attention being paid t> them by a large portion of the press. Those who en- joy intimate relations with them say that the course being pursued by so many news- papers is extremely distasteful to them, and seriously interferes with their enjoyment of what would otherwise be very pleasant vacations. s — $10 To Niagara Falls and Retern $10 via Pennsylvania Rai Special train of. lor cars and day coaches will leave Washington at 7:30 a.m. Thursday, August 19, arriving Niagara Fells 10:50 p.m. Tickets gocd for return within ten days, and valid fer stop off at Buffalo, Rochester and Watkins Glen’ re- turning.
