Carssox Spnixos,Pa.,Sept. 13.—A stiff breeze from the northwest with clearing weather this morning rendered the President's stay at the springs more desirable than it has been for the Past week. It has been storming every day since his arrival and it has been feared that he would become restless and shorten his vaca- tion. All such fears have been abandoned now, and should the wenther continue fine next week bids fair to be a very lively one for the exec- utive family. SLIGHT COLDS ONLY, The members of the family have all passed through the wet season without suffering any inconveniences excepting slight colds, and these have yielded readily to the doctor's pre- scriptions, GOOD PLACE FOR FRIED CHICKEN. In his afternoon drive yesterday President Harrison visited a house on the summit which is kept by an old lady. A brief stop was made and the proprietress of the “Inn,” as it ie termed, expressed a great desire to see Mra, Harrison, whose photograph she has carefully _ nailed against the wall. The President romised to gratify the old lady by driving Harrison to the mountain resort at the very first oppor- tunity. The President learned during there that the old lady was thoroughly familiar with the art of preparing a good meal of fried chicken and waffles, and last night he recom- mended the repast to some friends, ANXIOUS OVER HIS BILL, The mountaincers are a curious people. During the President's sojourn here he made a number of purchases at the httle drug store near the Mountain House. Hearing that the executive would probably leave the mountains yesterday, Mr. Druggist made diligent inquiries as to the truth of the rumor, adding: “There is a little bill at the store to paid before he leaves.” No doubt the druggist imagined that if the President got away he would have trouble in locatizg him in order to present his little ac- count fur settlement. MISS SANGER I8 OX HAND, Miss Alice Sanger, the Preside: stenog- rapher, arrived here last night with a batch of work, which was laid tefore the President after breakfast this morning. SIGNING COMMISSIONS AND BILLS. The principal part of the business consisted of commissions to be signed and bills to be ap- proved. Among the latter was a bill providing for the construction of a bridge across the Missouri river at Lexington, Mo. STUDYING THE FINANCIAL WEATHER, The President spent some time during the morning in telegraphic conference with the Treasury Department. He learned to his sat- isfaction tnat the panicky feeling in the New York money market had about subsided and that Secretary Windom was in New York city and had the situation thoroughly in hand with a view to meeting any immediate emer- gency which might be relieved by govern- mental action. ee eee Mr. Boutelle’s Plurality Over 5,000. Writmanxtic, Coxx., Sept. 13.—Congress- man Boutelle on his way to Washington was informed by Chairman Manley of the Maine republican ite committee that the official returns will probably give him over five thousand plurality in the fourth district. — From Wall Street Today. New York, Sept. 13.—The opening of the stock market this morning was made on a very moderate volume of business and first prices, as compared with the final figures of last vening, were generally cither unchanged or fat slight fractions different. Pressure to sell, however, early appeared in North American and from 43 1t quickly retired to 41, and later to 40%. Chicago - followed with drop to 44 from 45%¢ and after some hesitation to 43, large amounts of both stocks changing hands. The movement then spread to the rest of the list, and Northern Pacific preferred became very active and declined from 78!¢ to 7614 and New England lost 1%, Burlington and Quincy ned at 115%; highest saie, 11534; lowest sale, 115; Inst sale, 115%. ——— CAPITOL TOPICS, POSTMASTER SHERWOOD CONFIRMED.

HE USES SOME STONG LANGUAGE ABOUT THE Com ‘MISSION—COMMISSIONER LYMAX'S STATEMENT— THE HEARING BEFORE THR CIVIL SERVICE IX- VESTIGATIXG COMMITTER FOR THE PRESENT SESSION, “ee Representative Grosvenot appeared today be- fore the House committees on eivil service re- form to supplement his téstimony the appointments made by the civil service commission from his district, He disclaimed any intention of reflecting upon the commission in regard to the ap- pointment of Rufas Putnam. He gave the ancestry of the Putnam family down to Dr. W. D. Putnam, the father of the young man who had received the appointment. He said that young Putnam, seven years ago, then a boy of fourteen years, was brought to Wash- ington by relatives and had never since returned to Ohio. He had worked here for witness, and, taking a civil service examination, requested witness to indorse him to Commissioner Morgan of the Indian office. Putnam said be was a resident of Marietta, and witness recommended him to the commissioner upon that statement. Soon afterward witness questioned Put- nam, and to his amazement found that he knew nothing about Marietta, and upon writing to one of his alleged relatives he re- ceived a denial of the young man's residence in Ohio and was aswured that he had been deceived. Mr. Roosevelt had shamefully and criminally misrepresented witness’ statements, He had never said that no clerical appointments had been made from his district, The Commissioners had hounded him (Grosvenor) through the newspapers; had set spies on his track to injure him, and unless they could prove the statement they put into his mouth they stood in the attitude of falsitiers and maligners. Not one of the eight appointees alleged to be from his district were really ‘They came from another and old district, from part of which his district was made, He had no knowledge of any appointments except Putnam's from his district, and the commissioners did not produce evi- dence, but turned loose upon him the batteries of slander of public ofticers who seemed to have Piecien else to do, Putnam was a poor boy with dependent relatives, and had made the mistake innocently; and rather than have him cruelly turned out witness would fet him stand accredited to his district, COMMISSIONER LYMAN’S STATEMENT. Commissioner Lyman said that the evidence of residence required of en applicant was ox parte and waa not investigated, except when called in question. Putnam had prottuced the necessary evidence of residence and was ap- jointed. When challenged by Representative frosvenor Putnam wrote witness a letter alleging that he was born in Ohio; that he was a taX-payer ‘in Ohio; that he intended to re- turn there, and that Representative Grosvenor himself had indorsed hia statement of resi- dence, The commission had assumed thata per- son retainod his legal domicile in one state until he had acquired another elsewhere, and ab- sence made no difference if he intended to re- turn, Therefore it held that Putnam was a legal resident of Ohio, Mr. Grosvenor declared that the commission had reached a conclusion without any warrant of law or common sense. He had, however, no criticiam to make of the com- mission for its action in that matter, What he wanted was to show that he had not lied. His three-minute speech had caused him to be hotly pursued by the minions of the commission. Mr. Lyman protested that the commission had no minions. ADJOURNED FOR THE SESSION, At this point, as. Mr. Grosvenor had completed the statement he desired to make, the committee adjourned, with the understanding that the further pursuit of the investigation into the practical workings of the civil service law should be deferred until the next session of Congress in Decomber. Real Estate Matters. Today John W. Schaefer sold to William H. Dunkhorst for $25,000 the store building 782 7th street northwest.

A nice, pleasant-mannered, fatherly old gen- tleman struck the town a short timé ago. Everybody was much impressed by his pa- triarchal appearance and his pious, saintly manner. Strange to say he associated with the sporting element and was often seen gazing upon the changes of fortune that followed the ‘0 | chips on a faro layout. Good people at once rushed to the conclu- sion that our venerable friend was a mission- ary who followed the apostolic maxim of being all things to all men, and was mingling with the worshipers at the shrine of the Goddess of Chance in order to bring them to a sense of the error of their wats. He certainly did a good deal to disgu: jome of them with the seductive poker andthe deceptive faro- box. Perhaps that, too, was a part of his" reformatory plau. | Our old. friend was again and again greatly pressed to take a hand and finally he yielded to the blanishments and sailed in, Talk about luck! Such luck was never seen as this patriarch was blessed with, There seemed to be some mag- netic attraction about this ve.erable person that was irresistible. The “chips” just tumbled over his way and the cards seemed to place themselves exactly to suit his hand. me thought he had the “black art” his Inck so phenomenal, but at last, to use a vulgar phrase, the boys got onto his racket and the patriarch made up his mind that a change of air would be good for him. The whole secret was that the good old man hada strong reflector on his finger, and of course could read the cards as they went out, His little game was discovered before the old gentleman was aware of it, and he discovered also that Lander men are no foola, There is such a thing out west here as the “double cross;” that's whatthe boys played on him, When the venerable fraud found luck turning against him he skipped. He may be in Raw- lins, Laramie or Cheyenne now. We'll likely hear from him again. A Collector of Handkerchiofa, From the London Globe.

Drift of Talk at the Capite on th Financial Situation. ff 8 THOVORT THAT THE NEW YORK MPORTERS ARE EXAGGERATING THE EFFECT TO BE PRO- DUCED BY HAVING THE TARIFF BILL GO IX };OPERATION OCTOBER 1—SECRETARY WIxDOM's POLICY COMMENDED. Every possible effort is still being made by the importers and the merchants of New York tosecure an extension of the time at which the tariff bill #2 to go into effect, but there is as Yet no indication of a disposition on the part of the framers of the bill to yield. The situation in New York and the action of the Secretary of the Treasury to prevent s stringency of the money market, to which Tae Bras called attention some days ago, is being very generally discussed at the Capitol. The members of the finance and the ways and means - committees are convinced that the flurry is anything but fictitious, or that it isa thing the importers might not have guarded against had they been so disposed. They speak of it as an effort on the part of the importers. to coerce Congress, and they may be depended upon to adbere to their first proposition unless it should develope that such a stringency existed in the money market that would result in very general injury to the business interests of the whole country if any extraordinary demand for money was made necessary. In view of the statement from the New York custom houso as to the amount of money necessary to get goods out of bond, and in consideration of what Secretary Windom has done to relieve the financial situa- tion, it will be very difficult to convince them that there is any danger of gencral disaster if the bill is put into effect ou the Ist of next month, THE INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC ABOVE THOSE OF TRE IMPORTERS. There are several influences operating on the situation. In the first place, it is the object of the framers of the tariff bill to take away the business of the importers.and to do soas quickly as possible. Therefore the plea of certain im- porters that injury will be done them if they are compelled to pay increased duties on goods now in transit will not have inflyence” upon the committee. The losses individual importers may sustain through the failure of an effort to get in a stock of goods for several months hence before the bill oes into’ effect, is a matter in which the framers of the tariff bill are not concerned. If their losses were to be an injury to the pub- lic generally then the committee would be- come concerned, bnt they will not be influenced by the fact that certain importers have not trimmed their lamps in time. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION. Atthe same time itis urged on the other band that it is an extraordinary thing to put a law of this sort in operation within such short time after general provisions are known. Importers say that instances may be found where, in cases where goods Were ordered to be manufactured in Europe the contracts were made before the tariff bill was passed by the House, and that in all cases where goods are now in transit or in hand the purchases were made without knowl- edge of what the provision of this act would be, and that they could not be delayed for months until the thing should be settled. They think it unfair that goods purchased and shipped under the old law should be made sub- ject to the duties in the new. Being anxious to have the operation of the law delayed, the importers, of course, are making the most of the threatenod stringency of the money market, and the tariff committees credit them with exaggerating the trouble. It isa condition and nota theory that con- fronts the importers, however. ‘They have much locked up in goods in bond, there are other goods in transit and it will make a heavy demand upon their ready cash to pay duties and get goods from the ware houses before October. SECRETARY WINDOM’s POLICY. Secretary Windom has proceeded upona Policy for the relief of the financial situation, which meets with the approval of most of the best financiers in the country. Under the Cleveland administration ‘the Treas- ury adopted the policy of increasing tho government deposits in the national banks. ‘Thie policy was very severely criticised by the republicans on the stump. especially by Mr. Blaine. It was predicted when the repnblicans took charge of the finances that they would have to rosort to the same policy if the necessity arose to take prompt action for the relie: of a stringency, and when, on assuming the Secretaryship of the Treasury, Mr. Windom did not at once withdraw the large deposiw the fact was commented on as indicating that it was found difficult to change the former policy. There is some disposition at this time to try to force a renewal of this policy, and it was thought that Mr. Windom might hiave to resort toit, The pressure in that direction counts for something in causing the present excite- ment. NO RETURN TO CLEVELAND’s POLICY, But Mr. Windom’s policy of buying bonds and freely advancing interest is effective and there will be no return to that of increasing de- posits, Tho difficulty with the deposit polic was demonstrated soon after Mr. Windom t charge. The fact that he did not withdraw the deposits promptly was due to the certainly that such a withdrawal would cause tightness in the money market, and right there was demonstrated the difficulty with the policy. The money once being put in the ban it is practically impossible to withdraw any considerable amount of it without causing ~ estore This fact — ~telfer any return to this , especially when that adopted b; Mr. Windom is effective. Z if NO DISTURBANCES OF BUSINEFS ANT-CIPATED, = With the amount of money that has been re- leased by the Treasury and the availability of more if the necessity arises the members of committee on ways and means feel confident that no general disturbance to business will follow the tariff law's going into effect. THE TARIFF BILL IN THE HOUSE. Mr. McKinley has been conferring with the members of his party who insist upon voting on suger and binding twine in the committee of the whole. They still insist upon this, but from the apparent disposition on the part of the democrats not to delay action on the bill, it is still hoped that, even these matters must con- sideret in committee of the whole, there will not be any waste of time. The action of the committee on ways and means today was such aso encourage the idea of speedy completion of the measure, They will, doubtless, be ready to repoort if the House has a quorum on Monday.

The Secretary of the Treasury is in New York today talking money to the magnates of Wall street, Notwithstanding the reports of a money stringency at the Treasury Department this morning there was no alarm felt, Said Judge Batcheler, acting secretary, to a Sram reporter: “We would like to have the public understand that this is by no means a ‘scare’ or a panic. A tightness prevails, to be sure, but it will soon be relieved, I am sure. It is the result of a number of causes, the main one being the fact that the business of the country has increased fully twenty-five Ra cent and a god deal of the capi us demanded is tied up. ‘The banks, it wouid scem, want to heighten icky fecling, ‘but { am con- vi that the whol movement 1 done with the ultimate object of making money *o much easier that the street will have all it wants for speculative purposes. But we are quite masters of the situation here and have no fear for the outcome of it. You see there ig belief that it will take $50,000,000 to release the goods that are at present under bond for the payment of cus- toms duties on account of the action of the McKinley bid. i It will not take more than $17,000,000 Indeed, I think that the whole value of the goods now in bond that will have to be re- moved and the duties paid do not aggregate in value more than 10,000,000, Waat GEx. NeT?LeTon savas. Gen. Nettleton, assistant secretary, said that the department stands ready to put out $32,000,000 over and above its present obligations in order to relieve the market. When asked how much the street estimated would be necessary to straighten thingsout, he replied: *We had promised the payment of about $60,000,000, and of this sum we have now paid out $30,000,000. I can- not say in what way the remainder will go out. The Secretary will probably announce his course in New York today, Ithas been determined to Prepay a year's Pacific railroad interest on currency sixes’ ( bonds), which will amount to about €7.000.000, but this will be but one of the details of the general scheme, a minor measure THE PURCHASES OF SILVER, It has been a part of the department's policy of relief to buy silver in large quantities at the market rates as ono of the means of putting more money into circulation, but the price of silver has steadily decreased from @1.99 to @1.15 and even below Mr. Leech, the director of the mint, said this morning that he did not care, in view of the present speculative tendency of the market, to express any opinion as to the causes of this declined. He said, however, that he will buy as heavily as the offerings will war- rant next Monday, the regular day for purchases. He has, during the past month, exceeded the legal limit of silver bought, hav- ing purchased 5,300,000 ounces, when the re- cent act only specified 4,500,000. This was done at the instance of the. Secre- tary in order to swell the total output of money, and resulted in the freeing of about $6,000,000, ‘MAKING IT Easy.
