WALES AND WHITSUNTIDE. The Prin*e Was Making a Day ot it Wien His Mamina Wanted Him to be at Charch—Armenian Question a Disturbing Element—Russia’s Shrewd Juggling With the Chinese Loan—Frwits of the Oscar Wilde Trial. June B.—As to what form a motion of lack of confidence in the gov ernment shall take, it is understood that Lord Salisbury is eager to assail Lord Rosebery’s foreign policy and that he is strongly in favor of beginning the fight by raising the question of British intervention in Turkey, in regard to Ar menia, which action has had only the support of the sympathetic Gladstonians of the maudlin type. Outside of Conservative circles the opinion is rapidly growing that Lord Roaebery has been overmatched and out classed by the diplomacy of Russia and France, both in the Armenian and Chino- Japanese affairs. In his desertion of Lord Salisbury’s policy of an informal, bat practical entente with Germany and the triple alliance, for the friendship of Russia and France, it is generally feared that Lord Rosebery has got himself, and the government, of course, into an imbroglio of the most critical character. Indeed, it is believed that it involves either diplomatic disgrace or a European tvar. The opponents of Lord Rosebery do not hesitabe to att ibute the bungling of his administration and his plain failure in the most vital of the issues with which he has had to deal, to the bad condition of his mental health, yet, although his frieDda assert that the premier has en tirely recovered from his recent nervous coilapsc, it i 3 officially announced to day “Jiafc his physicians have advised a pro longation of his yachting cruise It is understood that the Chinese Gov ernment has decided to pay Russia fi\ e per|cent upin the Chinese loan recently raised in Paris and guaranteed by Russia. Russia drove a sharp bargain by raising in Paris the money at four percent, thus making one per cent on the total loan cf iixteen m llion pounds. The terms of loan also contain an agreement on the part of China not to contract for loans for a period of six months. The loan is financied by the Banque de Paris et Pays Bas, and the Credit Lioneese. The suc cess of the French capitalists in cutting out the English financiers, who have hitherto handled Chinese loans, bas pro duced an epidemic of jealous envy in London financial circles. The gravity of the position in the far East is shown by the orders that have been issued by the war office. A large increase will be made in the stores of war munitions at Malta, Aden and in Egypt. The small garrison on the Island of Bei in in the Red sea will be reinforced by detachments of artillery and sappers. Quick firing guns will be planted in the fort and the fort works will be enlarged. The island will be made an important naval base. Communications proceed between Lon don and St. Petersburg and Paris as to what combined action shall be taken if the Porte maintains its refusal to con cede the demands by Great Britain, Russia and France relative to Armenia. If the Porte persists in its refusal to grant the demands made by the three powers, it has been definitely arranged to represent these demands as an ulti matum and to set an affixed da f e for their aoceptanee or rejection. It is understood that Great Britain proposod in the event of the rejection of the demands that the combined fleets of the three powers make a demonstration at Con stantinople, but France and Russia pre fer as a irst resort a conterence of the European powers. The Speaker asserts that harmony between the three powers, j as f*r &•> diplomatic pressure is con- 1 oerned, is complete. Should France and Russia decline to go further, the ap pearanow of a British fleet at Constanti nople may become a necessity, if only to insure safety against rising of the Turks. The paper adds that public opinion in Great Britaiu will compel the govern ment to go it alone. It would be easy to ooeupy first Mateline and Samoas and to make them and Cyprus a base of op orations, though the eventful result might bieak up the Turkish empire. It is known that the Queen influences the cabinet by explicit advice, amount ing to instructions, concerning the atti tude of the Porte. Her Majesty’s inter est in the question was such that she caused the full text of the Sultan’s reply to the demands of the three powers to t e telegraphed to her as soon as it was received by Sir Philip Currie, the British Ambassador at Constantinople. It is believed also that she, in several per * >nal letters to the Czar, communicated the necessity of concerted action on the question The Queen has become a fer •ent Turkopode. She had been excited over the stories of the Armenian atroci ties, and has gone far beyond her usual oonslP utional functions. It is s‘ Hed that the Print* of Wales has got in trouble with bis august moth er by visiting the Whitsuntide exhibition of paintings at the Guild Hall and after ward dining with a city sheriff. The papers announce that the Prince’s action inoited the Queen to send him a long telegraphic reproof. It has transpired that her Majesty advised him that he ought to have observed Whitsuntide bv receiving the sacraments of the church and that as a leading member of the church he should have avoided all pub lic functions. The Rev. Stewart Duckworth Headlam, one of the sureties of Oscar Wilde while he was awaiting trial, has explained why he went bail for him. He says that he felt that the press had prejudiced the case. He had only met Wilde twice, but his confidence in his honor was fully justified by the fact that the accused stayed in England and faced his trial. The clergyman says he hopes that after- Wilde has served his sentence he will lead a new life and do good work. As a result of inquiries made into the secret life of the great public schools, the investigation having arisen from the Wilde trial, one school has expelled six teen boys. It is announced that the daughter of Annie Besant, now the head of the The osophical Cult, will become a Roman Catholic. DECREASE IN BANK RESERVE. The New York Financier Cites This ns a Favorable Symptom. New York, June 8. —The New Y’ork Financier this week says . “A decrease in the reserve of $1,553,- 350 is a favorable feature of the state ment made by the Associated Banks of this city for the week ending June Bth. “The expansion in loans, while only $890,000, or considerably less than the weekly increase reported for the past month or sixth weeks, is yet a cheering sign that money is in demand, although the remarkably low rate at which funds are offered is helping to swell the loan total. “The decrease of $1,011,500 in the net cash held by the banks cannot be accounted for in view of the fact that the gain from the interior during the week was not less than $3,000,000, and that the Treasury disbursements were above the ordinary. Accepting theories which have proven correct in the past, the loss might be explained by saying that the Belmont syndicate had been making another of its unexpected mo *, but there is nothing to confirm this. “The decrease of $332,600 in deposits, in view of the fact that a great aeal of money was received during the week, makes the statement more difficult of interpretation. It is known, however, that the demand for discounts is de creasing and that banks doing a large portion of this business have had a great many inquiries of late, especially from the South. The mercantile and manufacturing demand is also increas ing. The money market has not exhib ited the first signs of hardening, aud the hope of better rates seems to be still lost ia the future.” W hat Francit- Joseph Said. Vienna, June 8.-—Emperor Francis Joseph, in a speech in reply to an ad dress presented by a delegation of repre sentative Austrians to-day, said he re joiced that the Austro Hungarian policy of keeping in friendly relations with all of the European powers had furthered the consolidation of the country and the general peace of Europe. The govern ment, he said, would continue its tried policy. The Emperor announced that a moderate demand be made upon Parlia ment with a view of maintaining the army and navy in a position of strength which would render them equal to the task of preserving order and upholding the dignity and honor of the nation.

Washington, D. 0., June B.—Fifteen thousand government employes are dis gusted with the action of the Cabinet in a matter that greatly affects their com fort and convenience. For years it has been the custom to close the Depart ments in this city at 3 o’clock on Satur day afternoons during the summer months, the hour of closing on other days being 4 o’clock. When the question came up before issuing the usual orders by the heads of the departments Secretary Morton of the Agricul tural Department refused on the ground that the law required the employee to remain at work seven hours every day in the week. The matter was referred to Attorney General Olney and he sustained his colleague in the view he had taken of the law. Thereupon it was decided by the'cabinet duly assembled that all the departments should be clos ed at 4 o'clock Saturdays, the same as on other days. There was an exception in the Interior Department, which closed this afternoon at 3 o’clock in the absence of Secretary Smith, who v.as no? in the city to en force the cabinet’s decision.

New York, June 8.--The police nar rowly averted a free fight between New York and Pittsburg players in the fifth inning. As Wilson scored on Killen’s muff at the plate the latter deliberately kicked him on the leg. In a second the players of both teams rushed together ana were squaring off when the police interfered. Murray had to be escorted to his dressing room by the blue coats after the game. He declared Sten ftol safe at the plate in the third in ning when he was out by at least a yard. Had Stenael been called out it would have completed a brilliant triple play. Doyle tried to reason with Mur ray and was ordered out of the game, the big crowd of 15,000 persons making all sorts of threats against the umpire, lhe Pittsburgs won on their merits, as they hit Rusie quite freely. Killen was taken out in the fifth as the home team was beginning to hit him and Hawley was substituted. The New Yorks could not do much after that.

Hard Hitting at W anhfngton. .Washington, D. 0., June B.— To-day’s contest was a hard hitting one an 4 Washington clearly had the better of it. Ehret was very wild but only one of his numerous bases on balls counted in the run column. Some sensational fielding was performed by both teams, the work of Glascock, Crooks, Abbey, Quinn, Ely and Dowd being particularly noteworthy. Stocksdale relieved Anderson at the end of the seventh and did well. Attend ance 2,500; weather cool.
