The scenes witnessed at the Bank of England yesterday duting the rush to obtain gold in exchange for bank notes, were repeated this niorn- ing, but on a still larger scale. A few people who had been too late to Bet currency yesterday afternoon &bent the night in the vicinity of the bank and reached the quadrangle at daybreak so as to be first in line to- day. The majority of people, how- &ver, came to the city in their usual leisurely manner and went to the bank at the customary opening hour. The crowd increased as the morn- ing passed, and an hour after the opening some 500 persons were lined Ap, while the streets nearby were filled with curious onlookers. Made Special Policemen. The bank porters had been sworn in as special policemen so that they could more easily handle the crowds and in case of nhecessity, arrest dis- A strong force of the city police also was on duty to deal with the crowd outside the bank premises. Although some of the people were Bank of discount + & little impatient to get their money i as to proceed to country and sea- e pesorts for their usual ‘hollday. the beginning of August, ithe. first Monday of which is a national holi- day, there was nothing which could Be' described even as excitement. Many Women in Line. ~ It was noticeable today that the line of people was largely made up of clerks and included many women who had received their wages in notes and wanted to change them into gold, as they realize that with a continu- 4nce of the crisis notes would be- ¢ome unchangeable. At holiday resorts notes are usually refused and in fact in London res- taurants and theaters notes are changed at the best of times only for Customers and others who are known personally so that persons with pock- éts full of paper money often find themselves unable to buy anything. Causes No Excitement. The closing of the National Penny bank whose customers are mostly working people, caused no excitement whatever. Not a person appeared in front of the head office. A similar Guiet prevailed at other banks and there was no sign of a run. Throgmorton .street, where . stock brokers usually assemble, was desert- ed today, the brokers having gone away for the holiday. In fact the trafic to the holiday resorts was heavier today than it had ever been, many who had inténded to take short Arips~to the continent having decided t6 remain in the British Isles. The Baltic Mércantile and Shipping Exchange is to be opened on Monday, an unprecedented occurrence on a bank holiday. Raise to Six Per Cent. / Berlin, Aug. 1.—The bank rate of the Imperial bank of Germany was faised today to six per cént. The rate of interest for private loans was raised to six per cent. Brussels, Aug. 1.—The -National bank has raised its discount rate from five to six per cent. Amsterdam, Aug. 1.—The banik rate of the Netherlands has been in- sereased from 4% to 6 per cent. Paris, August 1.—The Bank of France today raised its discount rave from 4 1-2 and 6 per cent, and its rate for loans from 5% to 7 percent.

Detroit, Mich., Aug. 1.—Ban John- son, president of the American league, who is here investigating the disturbance when :Umpire Sheridan ruled against Washington on a close decision at first base in the ninth in- ning of the Detroit-Washington game, has announ¢ed the suspension of Ainsmith and Morgan, of the Wash- ington team. “From what T have learned Ain- smith’'s action was cowardly and un- called for and Morgan addressed Shéridan in profane terms immediate- Ny after the rendering of the deci- sion,” said Johnson. “The players have been suspended, but T do not know as yet the length of their sus- pension or the amount of their fines.” Ainsmith fs said to have struck Sheridan after the latter's alterca- tion with Morgan, who was called out 4t first base. Other players and spec- tators joined in. the argument and “eventually police had to be called to stop 'the fizmmg * STRIKING PLAYER SOLD. ‘Lancaster, Pa., Aug. l.—Center- flelder; Frank Swayne has been sold by th€ Lancaster Tri-State team to ‘the Lowell team of the Eastern as- gociation.

For this the strikers were suspended. PENNANT RACE IS SETTLED, One pennant race is already settled.

Norman E. Brookes and Anthony F. Wilding paired together for the Antipodeans and won straight sets Froitzheim and Oscar Kreuzer, at 6-1, 6-1, 6-2.

HERZOG W REULBACH. Although the Superbas have asked waivers on Ed Reulbach, the big pitcher will not go out of the Na- tional league in any case, for Charlie Herzog has put in a claim for the player, 1t is doubtful whether Rob- inson will be willing to dispose of the pitcher at the waiver price. from Otto | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD WAR FINDS STATE DEPARTMENT CRIPPLED and Philiips Are Rbseat. ‘Washington, August 1.—Should the impending storm in Europe break with its full force it is expected that the state department here will be deluged with questions which will require the greatest caution to decide properly. erly. In the face of this emergency the department is virtually denuded of men familiar with the complexities of international law and the questions arising out of the existence tions. Moore Is Out. John Bassett Moore. who was called in to serve a second term in the state department for the solé purpose of guiding the United States diplomat- lcally through the Spanish-American war, is out, after less than a year of service under President Wilson and Secretary Bryan. Alvey A. Adee, forty yvears has heen in the diplo- matic and department service and now holds the position of second as- sistant secretary, is on his annual va- action in Burope. Because of his presence in Europe and his very un- usual attainments in the field of in- ternational law and procedure Mr. Adee was asked to represent United States at the international con- ference in Christiania, Norw: this summer, owing to the sudden illness of the regular American delegate. Mr. Adee has been of invaluable as- sistance to the present administra- tion whenever his counsel has been sought. He is not expected back for nearly a month, however, and may have difficulty in returning to the United States. Phillips Also Absent. William Phillips, the trained dip- lomae whom Mr. Bryan substituted in the office of Third Assistant for Dud- ley Field Malone, left this week on a vacation and.will be absent until September. It is well known that Secretary Bryvan and assistant Secre- tary Osborn are now: geétting first experience with questions of an international character; Solicitor Cone Johnson, also recently appointed, is likewise inexperienced in State De- partment matters. Thus virtually the entire burden of the present situation so far as knowl- edge of international law, procedure and precedent are concerned is thrown upon the shoulders of Robert Lansing, who for counselor. Mr. Lansing has had a long and varied experiénce in internation- al questions and is thoroughly famil- iar with all the principles and all the technicalities involved in the difficult task of steering the course of absolute neutrality for the United States. Mr. Lansing cannot, however, count upon much expert assistance in the present wick. Questions of shipping alone are ex- pected to produce a great mass of bueiness for the Department. Ameri- can vessels will enjoy the right of trade with the belligerent: be subjected to seizure and search for contraband goods. Thé question of what constitutes contraband is one of the biggest controversies in the field of international law. Protection of Citizens. The rights and protection of Ameri- cans abroad is expected to prove an- other vexing question for the state de- partment to look after. The interests of Americans in Europe and elsewhere which will be affected by a general war are of great value. The exodus of natives of the in- volved European countries from the United States to join the armies in Europe is also likely to raise difficuit questions. There is little doubt that many natives of these countries wha are naturalized Americans will re- turn to their old homes to fight. Their status will be questionable, as in some countries the right of expatriation is not viewed as liberally as it is in the Unted States. TRAIN HITS AUTO-TRUCK. Danielson, Aug. l.—Georgeé Pratt, aged 30, was probably fatally hurt today when a southbound train at the Franklin street crossing struck an auto-truck in which he was riding. Michael Meunfer, the driver, escaped without a’ scratch by jumping. vehicle was carrled down the track 300 feet. Passengers on the train were shaken up. The truck weigh- ing three tons was carrying three tons of ice. Pratt wag taken to the hos- pital at Norwich. PIRATES BUY BOB SCHANG. St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 1.—The St. Joseph Western léague club has sold Catcher Bob Schang to the Pitts- burg Nationals. Schang is a vounger brother of Wallie Schang, of the Phil- adelphia Americans.

INVENTORS TO TRY OUT NEW APPARATUS Take Their Diving Machine to Saybrook Next Week. Having completed iheir new div- Cohen, who have been working o7 this invention for many months, are now planning to give 1t a practical test, and as soon as the tubes for | the intake and exhaust air arrive they will take their machine to Saybroek Where it will be given a thorough try- out, Mr. Cohen stated this morning that he expects to he able to have the div- ing machine sent to Saybrook lale next week or early the week after. Here they will seek out a deep spot where the tests will be made. While is built capable of ! going to a depth of 0 feet, it will not be sent down more than 250 in the Saybrook tests, The inventors state that while it is so constructed as to withstand the préssure of the water at this depth, it will have to be bal- anced accurately when tried out. If it proves successful at the Con- necticut summer resort, and the makers do not feel the least doubt but what it will, one or the other will go to Detroit, Mich., to make arrange- ments, Then the apparatus will be ¢hipped to that city where it will be put to actual use in Lake Huron, Tt is the intention of the owners 10 use this in re-claiming lost ships.

New York, August '1.—A gen- eral European war is inconceivable. It would precipitate a cataclysm such as the world has never seen. No hiving statesman or ruler would dare to voluntarily risk consequences which would be crushing to the world's industries and finances. Yet the danger is intense, and an overt act might start a conflagration which would make over the map of Europe and inflict incalculable loss of life and property. All the great powers are ready for armed conflict. By means of military demonstrations each is prepared to take the first ad- vantage, if necessary; and yet, strange | to say, there is no immediate vital cause for war. Austria is simply | punishing a small state for the mu der of Archduke Francis Ferdinand; while all the other great powers a acting upon fear and a deep distrust | of each other's ultimate purposes. If war can be strictly localized, and if Russia can be persuaded not to ac- tively intervene in behalf of Servia, which probably depends upon Austria refraining from taking any Servian | territory, then a great conflagration will be escaped, and lomacy will doubtless be successful in settling all the minor issues. | Effect Upon United States. The effect of war upon the United Food products would rise, and the taking; of hundreds of thousands of men out of employment in Europe would mean a prolonged demand upon our food supplies. The scarcity of labor abroad would also be reflected here, the cost of living. Probably some in- dustries would benefit by the demand for war material, and there would be a better demand for our manufactures of steel, textiles, etc. to meet the vacancy caused by the loss of foreign trade which Ger- many and other European nations would inevitably incur. It is folly to suppose that such wholesale de- struction of life and property could be of benefit to the world at large. The world’s money markets would be violently deranged, and our own would ultimately feel the strain. Higher interest rates would surely fol- low the wholesale destruction of cap- ital, and much of the refinancing of the future which has got to be met would face serious obstacles. Our foreign trade will be demoralized. The heavy foreign sales of securities in this market were the main cause of a large influx of gold, amounting to the week to about $40,000,000 on the current movement. It is well known, however, that the treasury will offer similar aid to last year for crop mov- ing purposes; this, of course, being a very reassuring feature. The crop movement has already begun, and recent events are likely to hasten the export movement of grain. Wheat has advanced fully 10 cents and over, which means phenomenal prosperity to the western farmers, especiall wheat growers. Our wheat crop is now estimated at over 900,000,000 bushels, and as the bulk of it is still in farmers’ hands it follows that they and not intermediaries will get the principal advantage from high prices. Commodities generally are rising ow- G. EDW.

E. GILMORE SPECIAL, No. 1 Wall §t,, The only Stock Brokerage hpuse in New NEWS ing to the prospective intérference with supplies in event of war. Was Wise Step. Closing of the Exchange, however, was a wise step. American buyers have been absorbing European hold- Ings at very attractive prices, for many of our best stocks are now om the bargain counter. Eventually Eue rope will repurchase these shares, but at higher prices. It is many years since Europe has been so bare of American stocks, and the present crisis leaves the United States in an exceptionally strong and favorable fi- nancial condition, so far aAs concerfis its relations with European coun= tries. Home influences for the time being have been forgotten. The rate cision is still pending and may cm‘nz Washington appears be in a less antagonistic mood, and the probabilities are that the anti. trust bill will shortly be out of ti way. If passed, it will be left in much less objectionable form than first anticipated. Before many wi are gone congress will h; adjo and business will have a respite legislative agitation. We are, how- ever, now in the midst of great un- certainty from abroad which may or may not continue for some time. Vio- both directions must be expected until the Buropean beginsg to clear. It wouild if eventually a great war must be averted, but in the interim the fear of a clash with disastrous pessibilities will continue, Outcome of Russo-Japan War. The present European war is really the outcome of the Russo-Japan war, Before that Russia’'s great power and prestige kept in check all of the Bu- ropean nations, they being overawsd by her imaginary exaggerated greste ness. The result of the Russo-Japan war undermined Russia's prestige to the point of humillation, of which Emperor William took advantage to forge ahead, with the result that Geérs many finally occupied Russia’s fors mer position as the most important war power in Burope. All this, tos gether with the seif-adulation of Em- peror William, aroused the jealousy of the czar, thus bringing about the present contest, which is really a struggle for supremacy between theése two men. This shows the danger of one man power. No such power shouid in this twentieth century bé permitted to exist by the people of any country. I say, down with the one man power rulers—they have had their day and should become a bys gone for the safety and happinest of the people of the world. If the European nations continue to fi among themselves, as the Mexicang have done, they will weaken thems selves in men and money Az well ab prestige, and will put themselves in a position similar to Rome when overpowered by the barbarians, through the weakness of their armi and money facilities they will be- come feeble. The east (China and Japan) will gain correspondingly in military and money strength, which will encourage them to combine 1o overthrow these once great nations and maybe who knows to the com- bring about another dark afé History repeats itself. Their only safety is for them to follow the example of the United States and de away with the one man power—(wag lords, so-called) and make the basis of their governments of the people, for the peaple and by the people, Them they will stand supreme for at loast eem as another century.
