IS ON A GOLD BASIS
Bill Authorizing the Change
Passed Tuesday.
A GRAVE CRISES WAS IMMINENT.
Gold Standard Was Adopted Jut in
Time to Save the Oovernrnent
- From Bankruptcy.
New York, Aug. 25. A dispatch to
tbe Herald from Panama says :
The Herald's correspondent in San
Salvador says that the country has been
bo disturbed by the slump in silver that
she has determined to adopt a gold
utan'dard. Owing to to the financial
straits in which Salvador found herself,
the depression in commerce and the ap
parently hopeless futore, President
Guiterres invoked an extraordinary ees-
sion of congress to consider the mone
tary crises.. At the time he sent to con
gress a aiessage urging the necessity of a
epeedy change in the currency system
. there was some opposition in congress to
a gold standard, and the fight waged un
til Tuesday, when the bill passed.
The president was also authorized to
negotiate a foreign loan - of $2,500,000.
The new loan will go into effect within
two months. After it becomes ' Opera
tive all customs will be payable only in
gold. ,
Salvador's present departure is due to
the slump in silver, which threw the
country into a condition more serious
than had ever before existed. The rate
of exchange on the United States rose
steadily antil it reached 200 per cent.
1 The Herald's correspondent in Monte
video, Uruguay, sends word that a bat
tle has taken place between government
Tinder General Bovente and rebels com
manded by Genera1 Lamar. No details
of the fight have been received.

THE' EUROPEAN CHOP SHORTAGE
Wheat, Rye and Potatoes Ba Suf
fered Severely.
Springfield, Mass., Aug. 25. An in
quiry into European crop conditions
conducted by the Orange-Judd syndicate
of agricultural papers, including the
American Agriculturist,- of New York,
the Orange-Judd Farmer, of Chicago,
and the New England ' Homestead, of
Springfield, Mass., indicate that the food
crop situation abroad is very grave.
Estimates of Europe's (including Eng
land) needs of wheat imports range all
the way from 300,000.000 to 400,000,000
bushels. Europe's wheat crops for 1895,
1894 and 1893 averaged 1,500,000.000
bushels. In 1891, the famine year, it
was only 1,200,000,000. The impression
is gaining ground that Europe's wheat is
even less than in 1891.
But this is not the worst of it. Eu
rope usually produces as much rye -as
she does wheat. It is the bread grain of
the masses. The rye crop of the prin
cipal European countries has averaged
above 1,300,000 000 annually for 1896,
1895. 1894 and 1893. This eeaeon the
rye crop of these countries cannot much
exceed 875.000,000 bushels.
Quite as bad is the potato prospect.
Only about 1,875,000,000 bushels of po
tatoes wili le harvested in these coun
tries this year. Without regard to the
United Kingdom or other European
countries, there is a shortage of some
million buBhels of potatoes. The Euro
pean shortage, compared with average,
follows:
Wheat, hushels.- 300,000,000
Rye, bushels . . . 335,000,000
Potatoes, bushels 1,000,000,000
Total, bushels 1,625,000,000
Ireland Short of Spuds.
Skibborrne, Ang. 25. The potato
crop in North Cork and Limerick, has
been partly destroyed by blight, and in
those districts it will be the worst year
in tbe last half century for potatoes.
A Valuable Prescription
Editor Morrison of Worthing ton, Ind.,
"Sun," writes: "You have a valuable
prescription in Electric Bitters, and I
cn cheerfully recommend it for Consti
pation and icJs Headache, and as p jn.,
eral system tonic it has ho equal." Mrs.
Annie Stehle, 2025 Cottage Grove Ave.,
Chicago, was all run down, could not eat
nor digest food, had a backache which
never left her and felt tired and weary,
but six bottles of Electric Bitters re
stored her health and renewed strength.

censed. i

VETERANS ON PARADE.
Grand Procession the Feature of the
Day at Buffalo.
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 25. Drums
beating the reveille brought the com
rades from their tents early this morn
ing. Aides de camp in gold lace of tbe
nationol guard of New York were dash
ing about tbe streets on horseback look
ing with anxious care to the divisions to
which they had been assigned. In the
orridors Of' the Iroquois .hotel spurs
were jingling and sabers clanging as the
officers of General Clarkson's staff, hnr
riedto tbe headquarters of the com
mander-in-chief to report to Colonel J.
Corey Winans, chief of staff. - -
The posts of the department of Illinois
and some of the department of Wiscon
sin were early on the march. Music and
the tramp of marching feet' brought
cheering crowds to the little detach-
ments as they passed, and the hum of
expectancy grew into a roar of excite
ment as the time for tbe moving of the
procession grew near. Excursion trains
began to pour thousands of recruits into
tbe already congested thoroughfares. In
front af the Hotel Niagara, General
Clarkson and staff drew up in a line and
Clarkson waited npon President McKin
ley to escort him to the head of the
column.
: At 10 o'clock the president left the
Niagara accompanied by an escort.. At
10 :30 o'clock the procession '. moved to
the roll of innumerable drums and tbe
blare of trumpets, and the Grand Army
headed by the president took up its tri
umphal way through the seas of cheer
ing humanity.

JORDAN IN REPLY TO ELLIOT,
A Dissertation on the Feaskhilsty of
Branding Seals.
Palo Alto, Cal., Aug. 25. Dr. Jordan,
president of Stanford university, says
tbe opinion of his friend, . Professor
Elliot relative to the branding of seals is
entitled to no special notice, because
Elliot knows nothing whatever about
the subject.
"As a matter of . fact," he added, "the
branded sealskin in possession of the
treasury department was burned while
the pup wore its black coat. After the
wonnd had healed and had been replac
ed by the new coat, which corresponds
to that of the adult seal, it was killed
and ekinned. There is no question that
it is perfect'y feasible to brand the seals
and that the brand will remain perma
nently, as it does on a horse or cow.
"One man can brand female pups at
the rate of 1000 a day. The brand will
grow with the growth of the animal.
The water hairs will hide it to some ex
tent, but the part of the skin on which
it appears is permanently spoiled for
the furrier's purpose.
"The adult seals can also be branded
witbont injury, but they are not so easily
handled. As to the notion that handl
ing the animals will frighten tljenj Rnl
drive them to abide other island, there Is
no foundation for it. They mind it no
more than sheep being sheared."
