LONDON, June 15—(New York Worll Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—The Epglish Bimetallic league continu to press it propaganda with the utmost vigor, and 1s raising a large fund for its legitimate pur- ~qees. The total amount Is placed at £100,000 ani 1 am informed that over half has already been collected. Four persons ard firms, Antony, Gibbs & Sons, Sir William Houlds- worth Hescltin, Powell & Co, and Hugh McCalmont, the great racing and yachting millionaire, have subscribed £2,500 each. Two ¢ members of the firms named are directors in the Bank of England. Twelve in- cluding the dukes of Sutherland and Port- Jand, have subscribed £1,000 each; other sub- scriptions from 500 downward are from many notable business firms, banks anl in- Qividuals. In a former letter I cabled you a lst of many influential persons, members of the league. Its officers relterate the sta ment already cabled you that they believe bimetallism impossible, except by interna- tional agreement, and their conviction thaet the experiment of unlimited fr2e eoinage in the United States witbout regard to other nations, will not only bring disaster to but because of that certain disaster wili put back the cause of international bimetallism for many vears. CHINA'S TROUBLE HELPS LITTLE. It is noted here that toe proposed Chinese loan of £160,000,000 which will probably be opened in Parls next week, has not had any appreclable effect on the price of silver. Eastern banks sent large amounts of silver to China at the beginning of the year, prob- ably sufficient for present demands. Even when the Inlemnity loan comes to be floated, probably a large part of it will be paid in England and the conitnent for new armaments and supplies, so that the demand for silver may not be large even then. Eng- Jish monometallists have been spurred to also vigorous measuras by the efforts of the Bi- metallic league, which fact is accepted by bimetallists as proof of the great strides of the bimetallic movement in England, making such activity necessary on the part of their opponents, Gustav Amberg writes me that Abbey anl Grau today signed a_contract with him for a flve weeks' season in America next October of the Schllersee Theatrical company, which has been ‘attracting so much notice in Ger- many and Austraia of late. It is alleged that every one of its fifty members are of the German peasant They proluce some eighteen plays, all of which, 1 understand, deal with peasant life. HER POEM WAS ALTERED. A controversy of intercst to all magazine editors and contributors is exciting the Lon don literary world. A lady writl under the name of Erskine Gower has printed many pleasing minor poems in periodicals here. She is know to be a person of very high rank, and report makes her either the young duchess Sutherland or a beautiful lady of Jersey. Realm, edited by Lady Colin Campbell, recently printed a poem of six stanzas signed by Erskine Gower, but some one in authority there saw fit to alter several of the lines. *Hold out your hand" became “hold forth your hand;" “to dancing crests of foam, on Inky shades” became “till dancing crests form upon inky shades.” “The wind blows fresh,” words any sailor would use, became “the wind blows keen,” a hopeless Jand lubber’s expression. *‘May became “farewell to May.” The last named change was particularly galling to the writer, with good reason, since the old phrase was *“look up for hope and greet the summer’s burst; the day is May, the morrow will be June.” Ambassador Bayard persons, class. has for fellow guests on Sir John Pender's yacht during the Kiel ceremonies Viscount Peel, late speaker of the House of Commons, and General Lord Wol- seley.

NEW YORK, June 15.—A special from Panama says suppressed newspapers, detail- ing the phases of the revolution since ite commencement at Guayaquil, relate that the police, to whom three months of wages were ue, marched through the streets of the city in protest June 3, followed by mobs shouting Viva Alfaro.” The goverpment forces at- tacked the police and forced them to re- treat, at first to the hippodrome and later to the suburbs. The police returned June 4 and a battle ensued, in which twenty men were Kkilled and thirty wounded and the govern- ment forces were repulsed into thelr barracks General Flores convened an assembly of the most prominent citizens of the city and ffered to resign its direction In their favor if they guaranteed his property and the life of his family and that of his companions in arms, besides his own. The Fifth regiment threw up its arms, abandoned the barracks and refused to obey official orders. A panic ensued, all the in- habitants expecting the most terrible results from the Inevitable lawlessness, but General Plutarco Bowen, a leader of the patriots, ar- rived and restored ofder and confidence. Military law was enforced under General Bowen's assumption of power. Enrique Avel- lenl was appointed acting lieutenant of Guayas, and Francisco Madrid was appointed captain of the port of Guayaquil. A cable dispatch was sent to General Eloya Alfaro in Nicaragua to come to Guayaquil immediately General Alfaro telegraphed to General Ig- naclo Robles June 8 from Managua, to offer all guarantees that the titular government at Quite might ask In return for submission during his absence, He placed General Robles in control of public affairs and an- nounced that he would arrive by the steamer Pentaur. He proclalmed the program of the patriots to be *‘reparation, spite or re- venge, for past grievances,” and their device to be “‘Staunch Justice and Liberty.” Successful 1n not wa from Formosa.

'LONDONFARFROMGAY Season Not Up to the Mark of Former Years DUE TO A PAUCITY OF COURT FUNCTIONS Royal Family Frequently Absent from the Oapital, GREAT HOUSES HAVE TO CURTAIL EXPENSE Swell West End Tralesmen Do a Great F Deal of Grambling. THEATRICAL CIRCLES EXTREMELY DULL Prevalling Interest in Week of Sporting Matters Relieves the Its Eatire Monotony—Some Results in Athletic Contests, (Copyrighted, 1895, by the Assoclated Press) LONDON, June 15.—Strange as It may seem, In spite 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 thelr 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 lavishness those of former days. Natu- rally, this state of affairs caused a good deal of grumbiing among the swell West End tradesmen, but they are somewhat making up for it by catering to the crowds of rich or well-to-do Americans who are now here, for a time, at least; brilliant birds of pas- sage, who spend their money royally. 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 daily 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 Is 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 1s found to be more diverting to watch the wheel riders in Battersea park than to watch the eques- trians In Rotten Row. It is now “quite the thing” to picnic In Battersea park, formerly looked upon as quite a plebefan 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 hre in larger numbers this season than ever before. As a result of this influx of trapsatlantic visitors the various prominent hotels of London during the past few days have been doing a really phenom- enal business. The managers of four of the largest hostelries have been interviewed on the subject, and they joined in saying that never before in early June has there been such a rush of ocean travelers to London. Hundreds of people have been turned away from the big hotels, and among them were many of the passengers of the new American line steamship St. Louls, which fine vessel completed her malden trip across the At- lantic on Thursday morning last. Inciden- tally, it may be mentioned that many of the passengers of the St. Louis had trying experiences after arriving in London. With thelr baggage, large and small, piled outside and inside cabs, they spent most of Thurs- day driving about the city looking for ac- commodations at the hotels or elsewhere. Naturally, this state of affairs Is causing hotel men of the British capital to swell with pride, and they say that they are more con- vinced every year that London is taking the place which Paris formerly occupied in the hearts of Americans for shopping purposes Be that as it may, there is no doubt that al the American tourists are making a longer stay here this year than usual. So far as fashion is concerned it is notice- able that the hats of the ladies are b:coming more and more startling as the s on ad- vances. For instance, a. fashionable West End millinery displays ‘the very latest” in ladies’ headgear. Polsed on its front Is a dove with outstretched wings around a small riviere of diamonds. The investiture for the birthday honors, which will be attended by the new knights, is to be held by the queen at Windsor castle during the first week of July. The ceremony rromises to be more interesting than usual. The newly made knights will attend a luncheon which is to be given in the famous Waterloo chamber of the castle. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the finally selected day they will repair to the white drawing room where, in the presence of the officials and a number of distinguished visitors, the queen will per- form the customary ceremony of investi- ture. DULL IN THEATRICAL CIRCLES. Although it is supposed to be of the season the theaters are fast closing their doors In the face of bad business and were it not for Sarah Bernhardt and Eleanor Duse and a few others London would soon be in a bad way for dramatic amusement. The triple bill at the lyceum theater has proved a fallure and John Hare closes the Garrick theater next Thureday and “‘The Second Mrs. Tanqueray” will be substituted. “An Artist's Model,” at the Lyric theater, “The Shop Girl" at the Gayety theater and “The Passport”” at Terry's theater are the only real es of the season, The revival of “La Traviata” at Covent Garden theater on Tuesday last with Patti as Violetta was the event of the operat'c season The seats sold at fancy prices and they were all filled. In addition many well known men were compelled to stand In the gangways The boxes and stalls were ablaze with dlamonds. Mme. Patti received a great and most enthusiastic welcome. Ladies threw boquets upon the stage, & thing unknown in Covent Garden, but it must be admitted that Pattl's voice has lost much of ite former at tractiveness. Last Wednesday morning Sir Henry Iry ing. who by the way, only appears as M Irving” in the play bills, gave a special mat'- nee at the Lyceum for the benefit of the actcrs’ benevolent fund. The audlence was largely composed of professionals, who loudly testified their aporeclation cf the popular the helght suce artist. Miss Terry appeared as *Nance Old- fleld,” and Mr. Irving was seen in “Don Quixote” and “A Story of Waterloo." The arrangements for the last week of Sarah Bernhardt's engagement at Daly's theater have been completgd. She will be seen for the first time in London in “La Princess Lointaine,” which was her last pro- duction at the Renalssanice theater in Paris The mounting s evem more superb than “Gismonda’ and the whole scenery and cos- tumes have been brought over for the pur- pose. Her five representations of “La Prin- cess Lointaine,” commencing Wednesday rext and fncluding a Saturday matinee, will bring her series to a close. Mrs. Langtry's gowns have been more commented upon than her acting in the new play of “Goseip.” Her engagement at the Strand Street theater, Islington, which cloces tonight, has been the most successful that she has ever had in London LILLIE'S HUSBAND SPECULATES. Mr. Langtry, her former husband, has re- cently made some successful speculations on the Stock exchange. At the time when his wife first made her appearance in London soclety Mr. Langtry, who inherited an in- come of a little over $20,000 a yeir from his father, had been eingulary unfortunate in his investments and was in sore financial straits. These losses he has recently re- couped. Mr. Langtry's first wife was a Miss Pric who was a schoolmate of the “Jersey Lily” and said to be even more beautiful than the latter. Some one who recently heard the princess of Wales speak has rushed into print to an- nounce that she has such a foreign accent that she says ‘“shanmel’ for ‘‘channel.” What is more remarkable fs that all the members of the English royal family, in- cluding the children of the prince and prin- cess, have marked accent. It s announced that the queen’s will lias become so0 long by reason of the many add tions to it since the document was first drawn up that it will now be bound in book form. A telephone line from London (o burgh, Belfast, Glasgow and Dublin was opened this week with much ceremony. The charges for three minutes conversation with Bdinburgh or Giasgow are 4s 6d ($1.12); with Belfast, 6s 6d ($1.62); with Dublin, 7s 6d ($1.87), and with Liverpool 2s 6d (62 cents.)

But little pains are taken to con- ceal the bellef thatEnglish oarsuien bave but slight fear of being Hefeated. INTEREST IN SPORTING MATTERS. What excites the greatest fnterest in sport- g ecircles Is the proposed visit of an Oxford-Cambridge athletic team to the United States. The sporting and other papers all devote much space to discussing the proposed evert. After commenting at 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 men in England for a month is no slight under taking and is a decided indication of the sporting spirit which actuates Cornell. Amer- rcans have always beeo most plucky in com ing here, so It is about time England should cross the Atlantic.” The coming Oxford and Cambridge sports prove to be of special Interest in view of the challenge of the English universities The London Athletic club, whose team will also visit America, defeated Oxford last week, and yesterday at Cambridge won six out of nine events. The program was ex- actly the same as in - the Interuniversity sports and the results indicate that Cam- bridge will defeat Oxford. Downer of the Edin- London Athletic club won the 100 yards dash in 10% seconds. Barry of the London Athletic club put the weight forty feet and nine Inches. Prye of Cambridge put the welght thirty-seven feet and one inch. Lut- yens of Cambridge won the mile running in four minutes and twenty-four seconds. In the high jump Willlams of the London Ath- letic club scored five feet elyht inches. In the 120-yard hurdles, ten. flights, Shaw of the London Athletic elub won in sixteen seconds. In the long jump McHomingway of Cambridge was the winner with twenty feet nine and three-quarters inches. The greatest surprise of the day was the quarter of a mile run, in which Fitzherbert, the new Cambridge captain, beat the famous London Athletic club and British champion at 440 and 880 yards, B C. Bradin, by three vards, in fifty and one-quarter seconds. In the hammer throwing Harvey of the London Athletic club won with 126 feet and five inches.

EMPEROR'S TIME PRETTY WELL OCCUPIED Granted a Pardon to wn Amerlean Con- victed of Lese Majeste—Two Trinls of Especial Tnterest Concluded— Personnl Paragraphs, (Copyrighted, 1895, by th BERLIN, June 16.—Public attention just now is wholly concentrated on the approach- ing fetes at Kicl, in celebration of the open- ing of the Baltic and North sea canal. Other questions, even that of a cabinet crisis, which is hovering in the air, have been relegated to the rear. On Friday next, June twenty-two grand warships will be ancho; in Kiel harbor having on board 11,000 C man saflors, and on the many foreign ships which will be there at the same time will be 16,000 men fn round numbers. The United States squadron entered th harbor today and on passing Freldrich fort its giins saluted the German flag, which was flying from the fort. The fort returned th compliment. The postal arrangements at Kiel are of an extraordinary description. A number of floating postoffices will lie in the midst of the warships and a small fleet of steam pinnaces will maintain an elaborate mail service. In addition, a marine post- office will be established on board the steamer which has been set apart for the use of the press and this postoffice wHl be under the supervision of government officials able to converse In the seven leading languages. The newspaper men, however, are already com- plaining greatly, not of the manner in which they have been treated, but of the in which it is proposed to treat them during the fetes. According to the program the press steamer will not be allowed to join In th procession through the canal, and, moreover, she will be stationed in such an awkward 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 all the big newspapers have been compelled to take other steps to ob- tain the Information they desire to present in their columns, At the imperfal banquet at Holtenau, Emperor William will toast the United States navy and the band will play “Hall Columbla.” FEAR THE BANKS WILL CAVE. In spite of the official statements to the e!- fect that the canal is safe and ready for navigation, competent engineers who have in- spected the new waterways exoress the opinion hat it is quite possible that the banks will ave in during the passage of the big war hips. The lavish character of the hospitality which will be extended to the crews of the various foreign ships at Kiel may be judged from the fact that a contract made with a Hamburg firm provides for the supply of fourteen tons of fresh meat daily, 2,000 bot tles of wine, 200 bottles of spirits, 10,000 bottles of beer, 6,000 gallons of beer in casks and 1,000 gallons of milk, apart from the ordinary rations on board. Politics in the meanwhile ae in a muddled cordition. The agrarians, in co itfon with the conservatives, have again started a bitter campaign against the present cabinet, with the intention of securing the lismissal of Dr. Von Boetticher, the im- perial secretary of state for the interior; Baron Marshal von Bieberstein, the imperiai minister for foreign affairs, and Baron von Berlepsch, the Prussian minister of com- merce, to whose opposition they attributed the government’s refusal to sanction any of the big agrarian scnemes. The conservatives also point to the latest developments of the China-Japan imbroglio, especially in the Chinese loan, as showing that Baron von Bieberstein's foreign policy has been a com- {lete fiasco. The agrarians are pushing the agitation against American cereals, especially propared oatmesl EMPEROR VERY BUSY. During the past week the emperor has shown truly feverish activity. After sleep ing on the train that brought him from Kicl to Berlin on Sunday he worked several hours early Monday morning and then re viewed the horse guards. Every day sinc he has reviewed or drilled troops, generally accompanied by the Austrian archduke, Francis Salvator, besides dispatching ar enormous amount of state business and attend ing the army races at the Hopp:rgarten As a slight diversion his majesty rescued a man from drowning while yachting on the Wanze, a lake near Potsdam. The emperor has sent a money to be applied to the victims of the floods in the districts of Wurtemburg, and sonal order he has pardoned Eckert, the German-American revisiting his old home, was nine months in Jail for lese mitted In letters written to his wife, has been since divorced from him in lau.

In America there is a growing fashion for the landscapes of Constable, the marines of Turner and the chef d'oeuvres of portraiture of Reynolds and Gainsborough. Dealers are striving to be in a position to meet with commerelal success in this fashion. This particular sale being one of the most important held in many years, 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. Sedelmeyer and other experts from Paris, a contingent of New York dealers. Among these were: Rowland Knoedler, Herman Schaus, Lamy »f Boussod, Waladon & Co., and representa tives of other New York hou Mr. George A. Hern of New York, who already possesses a large collection of English paintings, present, and it is known that Mr. H. O. Havemeyer visited the galleries during the preliminary exhibition and manifested great mterest Nir brought greater te was y-one canvases were sold and in the sum of 82,995 guineas. The number were purchased by Mr Wildam Agnew, one of the leading London art dealers on private orders. Whether any of the commissions had an American origin could not be ascertained today. The sensa- tion of the sal: was the knocking down of the Gainsborough portrait of Lady Mulgrave ‘for 10,000 guineas. After the bids reached 3,000 guineas the contestants were reduced to two, Mr. Agnew, the deal:r, and a pleas- ant-faced, well dressed young man, who raised the other 100 guineas at a time with a nonchalent manner, but with a voice in which there was unmistakably the tremor of excitement. All the dealers rose in thelr seats and gazed at the stranger. His bid of 10,000 guineas carried the day. He stepped up to the old auctioneer, who for nearly forty years has presided at these sales, and with a view of keeping his name secret offered the money in cash. The applausc which greeted the high bid, a fortune for a of painted canvas 20x24% inche merged into laughter, which greeted Chris- tie's remark that n-ver before had any offered him so larg: a sum.
