A remnant of the seventy- sixth New York regiment, the regiment which opened the engagement July 1, 1863. mustered at the New York state monument this forenoon. At noon the fifth New York cavalry asso- ciation met at the monument. The crowds mobbed the hotels and eating houses at meal times, and between while drove around the bat- tletield or walked through the ceme- tery. Most of the streets of the viliage are gay with bunting and street stands from which lemonade, peanuts and bullets suid to have been dug up on the battlefield are numerous. Fakirs, with badges, medals and souvenirs, are thick and are doing a rushing business. Every veteran wears his army badge, and the visitors wear Gettysburg memorial badges with medals showing the New York monument and inseribed “New York Day.” New York.

Crawford, an Ohio Lum- ber Merchant, Who Had Forged. Crcrsxart, July 1.—George 8. Crawford, president of the Crawford Mill and Lumber Company, before daybreak yesterday morning committed suicide by taking poison. This he did to avoid the disgrace of an arrest on the charge of forgery. To avoid the threatened financial crash Mr. Crawford forged at least two notes. A warrant for Crawford's arrest on that charge was issued ‘Thursday night at the instigation of Renzsch & Co., but action on it was deferred until yester- day ,on Crawford’s earnest ples that he ‘would settle the matter then. supposition is he endeavored to raise money to extricate himself, and, failing, resorted to suicide.

Dusenberry cashier. The assets are 115,- 000 and the liabilites are the same. Inability to make collections is the cause of failure. Grororrowy, Cot., July L—The bank of Clear Creek county made an assignment yester- day. The assets amount to £397,000, while the liabilities are but $223,000. Dexver, Cot., July 1.—The First National Bank of Rico closed its doors yesterday be- cause of arun. Matters are decidedly critical, for the miners gre excited and talk wildly of bloodshed. Those dismissed from work were hid with checks on the bank and they are cwamoring for coin. All business firms fe shut down on credit. Font Wontn, Tex. July 1.—The Exchange Bank at Iowa Park closed its doors yesterday. The liabilities and assets are unknown here, but it is believed the depositors will pe paid in full. A sudden withdrawal of deposits caused the suspension. a Another Raid of the Starr Gang. Pansoxs, Kax., July 1.—The Starr gang robbed the Frisco depot at Chelsea, in the In- dian territory, last night, securing about 2350. A number of citizens discovered the gang just as they had completed their work and gave chase, but by that time the robbers were free. One of the robbers’ horses was shot from under him, but his companions sueceeded in picking him’ up before the posse reached him.” _ Disappeared From the Guyandotte. New York, July 1—The steamer Guyan- dotte, which arrived last evening, reports the disappearance of Cicero Harrison, aged seventy-cight, who, accompaned by his daughter, Mrs. Oliver of Juckson, Mich., se- cured passage on that vessel just before she left Norfolk last night. The old gentleman was seen by the night saloon waiter at 2am. looking over the rail at the water. The waiter gave hima chair and requested him to be seated. This was the last seen of him. His daughter, Mrs. Oliver, is still aboard the vessel. pls a a Secretary Smith to Speak. Assuny Park, N.

Friends From the North Are Celebrating— The Next Attempt to Close The Gates on Sunday. Worty’s Farr Grouxps, Carcaco, July 1— Canadians predominate at the white city today. It is Dominion Day, the twenty-sixth anniversary of the establishment of the present Canadian government, and thousands of citizens from ‘that thrifty province of Great Britain came | out to Jackson Park today to celebrate the event. The Canadtan commissioners selected this océasion to dedicate the dominion govern- ment building at the fair. The ceremonies were of an informal charac- ter, and when they were finished the socicties and organizations and citizens who were pres- ent repaired to Festival Hall, where the formal acceptance took place. The gates of the fair were crowded until the dedicatory exercises began and visitors from across the northern border of the United States continued to ar- rive at the Canadian building. It was at- tractively decorated with flags and streamers and flowers, ferns and foliage plants were tastefully arranged about the rooms. Atthe appointed hour for the dedicati m the Hon. James 8. Larke, the commessioner fu: the Dominion of Canads in the name of Queen Victoria and the people of Canada declared tho building open and said “hat all citizens of Canada and :ll subjects of the queen would find & welcome within its Hearty cheers and enthusiastic applause fol- lowed and then the military, civic and social organizations formed in line and march- ed down the lake front to the court of honor. and thence to the transportation building. where the military bands plaved the “Den March from Saul,” in front of theill- ‘ated Vi « toria. The procession then proceeded to Festi- val Hall. Judge Jenkins left today for his home in Milwaukee, taking with him the briefs in the Sunday closing case brought by Wana- maker & Brown. It is probable that he will re- verve his decision until neat Friday, when he is expected to return to this city, but it ix barely possible that he may send his decision back in time to be read here next Mcnday.

East Livenroot, Ono, July 1.—A feeling akin to consternation was created here yester- day morning when it became known that the lower reservoir, situated on the hillside 350 feet above the eastern part of the city, was in immi- nent danger of collapse. The reservoir con- tains about 3,000,000 gallons of water, and should it burst would involve in destruction a number of manufacturing establishmenta. Ata late hour last night the situation was growing momentarily more critical, the water pouring in from a rapidly growing’ fissure in , the wall in torrents. After several hours of apprehension, during which the residents in the line of the threatening deluge had mostly re- moved from their how lowered until the dange: poi g fissures in the hill, caused by an incipient landslide, continue to threaten the safety of that section of the city. This had rendered the retervoir practically useless, as no precautions ean be taken, and any attempt to fill it would almost certainly result in ite complete destruc ion. . the water was safely int was ———_—_.

Burritt of Buffalo, Wyo., spent several days in Denver endeavoring to ascertain just what the feeling of the Colorado mine owners is in re- gard to the outlook for silver. In an interview ‘Mr. Burritt said: “Although the owners of the smelters and the mining men have given notice that mines in Colorado will be closed down and thousands of men thrown out of employment on account of the low price of silver, Ido not believe it will be done. The silver r producers are simply en- deavoring to ‘bluff’ the east. “While in Colorado I made » special effort to get the opinion of as many mining men as pos- sible, and with one accord they told me that they would continue to operate their mines, even if the price of silver went as low as 50 cents an ounce, “Should the mines be closed down it would only be temporary, and be done for the par- pose of threatening the bimetallista in the east into greater activity in the interest of free coinage. The silver producers propose to im- Prove the opportunity to advance the cause of the white metal.” Stuver Crrz, N. M., July 1.—The sudden drop in Of silver has caused the suspension of operations in practically all the silver mines in New Mexico. The mines at Geor, ae Lone Mountain and Hanover can be operated in the territory with silver at ite present price. No more than half of the silver mines in the territory have been in oper- ation this year, but the closing down of the re- maining ones will be a serious blow to the min- ing interests of the territory. Pvssto, Cot., July L—Tho depression in the price of silver is already beginning to make ite effects felt in Pueblo. All the smelters of the city have advised their ore buyers in the various mining camps of this and adjoining mining states to make no more contracts for ore. Yesterday between fifteen and twenty of the principal mercantile houses sent orders to the eastern trade canceling all orders for fall goods. They state that the re- duced price of silver will close the mines and smelters, throwing many thousands of men out of employment, crippling the railroads and de- pendent industries and mining trade. s2 SSE WHEAT AND CORN GO UP. Effect of the President's Proclamation on the Chicago Market. Curcaao, July 1.—Wheat promptly advanced scent per bushel today on President Cleve- Jand’s action in calling an extra session of Con- gress. Corn advanced 3 cent a bushel. July wheat opened 3 cent higher, reacted to 62, advanced to 6254 and fell back again to 62%a623s. Sep- tember maintained a difference of 1% cent over the near-by future. July corn opened cent up at 99, touched 38% and advanced to 395. Oats showed a slight gain. Provisions a lit- tle decline. It was delivery day and an unusually heavy amount of wheat, about 66,700 bushele went around. The ' deliveries’ otherwise were not remarkable. Armour, Eggleston, Walker, Wren & Poele took in the large blocks of wheat, In addition to the heavy deliveries on the floor, it is understood that Armour took in last night at his offices big lot of receipts in his own elevators. “ t ‘adit : A period of expectancy followed the opening, but while the market showed some slight fur- ther gain, nothing unusual happened until just before the close, then came a bulge in earnest. In a few minutes the July option jumped up an additional half cent from the highest point previously reached, making the advance for the day 2%. The close was strong at the top figures, It was generally felt that the worst of the crisis had been and that wheat would now be taken care of. Corn continued firm till the close. ‘The last prico was the highest and showed anet advance of 1 weakness in provisions was due to largor receipts of hogs than expected.

Strange as it may appear, it is fact that in ‘one of the store rooms of the Museum of the Louvre there is an old dusty box filled with bones that belonged to the kings of France. The bones are pitched there in confusion, and every time that the box is moved they are necessarily tossed about and mixed together. The Vie Contemporaine was the first paper to notice the existence of this deposit. Thanks to the information which has been given to us by the director of the fine arts we can affirm that these bones which are now treated with such odious disrespect are the remains of our kin, 12 i793 the tombs of Saint Denis were vio- lated and the bones were given to M. Ledru, the mayor of Fontenay-aux-Roses, the father of Ledru Rollin, by Alexandre Lenoir, his inti- mate friend, who was present at the exhuma- tion in the capacity of inspector, and who pre- served a quantity of the precious objects. ‘The relics were finally transmitted to the nephew of Ledru le Maire, who, in 1864, gave them to M. de Niewerkerke, who was charged by Napoleon III with the duty of organizing at the Louvre the “Museum of the Sovereigns,” and the relics have remained neglected from that day to this. We ask for the bones of our kings. the re- mains of the founder of the Cupetian dynasty, of the conqueror of Marignan, of Charles V, the king that saved the country from the yoke of England, and of Louis XII, “the father of the people,” a little of that respect which no- body in France denies to the mortal remains of the humblest citizen, Orleans, saying that the wind was blowing at | 8° IT WAS A WISE ACT. (Continued from First Page.) of the present bad financial system will haves good effect upon business, REPRESENTATIVE M'MILLIN. Representative McMillin of Tennessee, whose opinion is worth considerable weight on ac- count of the prominent position he has occu- pied on the democratic side of the House and because he is regarded as the leader of the ap- Proaching session, holds to the #2w that the session should begin at once the work which must come before the next Congress. He thinks that it would be much preferable to have ® continuous session and an early adjournment of Congress about May. If only a short session is held now regular session which meets in December would be long drawn out and the tariff legislation would go before the country at as late a day as the McKinley and the Mills tariff It was this very thing that the bills. President desired to avoid when he issued his first proclamation announcing that an extra session would be called some time in September. Mr. MoMillin said toa Stan re- porter this morning that tho next Congress was certain to accomplish two things. The tariff laws would be revised and the law compelling the attendance of devuty marshals at the polls would be ‘The unsettled and panicky condition of finan ces must be most carefully legislated upon and the confidence of the people restored, but in what way this was to be accomplished Mr. McMillin was unwilling to say. Regarding the reorganization of the House he said that it was a certainty that Mr. Crisp would be unani- moutly re-elected, as be would have no opposi- tion. Further than this, and the statement that there were several chairmanships vacant, he was unprepared to express his opinion. OEN, WHEELERS VIEWS. On the other hand there are s number of Congressmen who think that the session will not be lengthy one. One among those of this belief is Gen. Wheeler of Alabama. “Ieee no reason,” said Mr. Wheeler, talking upon this matter, “why the country’ should be burdened by a long and tiresome session of Congress, with its attendant debates and set hes, The Presi- ni call reason of the gravity question, and that alone.

Artata, Ga., July 1.—Representative N. C. Blanchard of Louisiana, chairman of the House committee on riversand harbors, passed through Atlanta this morning on his return to his home from Washington. On being asked his views concerning the call of am extra session and the probable repeal of the Sherman act he unbesitatingly approved of the President's call for the assembling of Ci Of the Sher- man act he 3 ‘t measure was enacted by s republican Congress, the House presided over by Mr. a Speaker, and was voted against by every democrat in the lower House, including my- self. We know that it was » makeshift and that it was framed by a hand hostile to silver. Subsequent events have justified the opposi- tion which this bill encountered from the silver advocates in Congress. “1 favor its repeal, but think there should be substitute adopted in lieu of it which will recognize the principle of bimetallism® in some effective form and which carries out the pledge made in the last national democratic platform for the repeal of the 10 per cout tax upon the note issue of state banks. On these lines I thiuk repeal of the Sherman act will be a matter of easy accomplishment.” Satisfacti in Richmond.

D Wise was surprised when told that Congress would meet so soon. He did not think it would be convened before Sep- tember. Capt. Wise is heartily in favor of re- penling the Sherman law. Mr. James B. Pace, president of the Planters’ National Bank, remarked: “The President's action will restore confidence. It shows that he is satistied that the Sherman act will be re- pealed.” ‘Maj. Fred Scott. vice president of the Mer- chants’ National Bank, said: “While I think he called too soon, no doubt his action will have the effect of restoring confidence.” E, A. L. Boul resident of the First National Bank, said: “The calling of an extra session of Congress can but have a good effect, as the people will understand that the con- ntion of the body is for the purpose of arranging financial matters. It will restore confidence, and that is the most that is needed. Col. 'W. H. Palmer, Bank, when asked what Sone of the City thought of the call, replied: ‘+1 think it will have a reassuring effect. Tdo not think there is anything more to be said. ‘Among the brokers it was the opinion that there would be a general stiffening in the prices of securities, Secretary Gresham Approves. Ixpraxaronis, Ixp., July 1.—Secretary Gresham was at the Bates House today. He has been visiting his mother in Harrison county and stopped over here to see a few of bis friends. “Havo you seen that President Cleveland har called Congress to moet in extra session on Au- gust 7?” he was asked. “Yes, I have just noticed that in the morning papers, and I am very glad, indeed, that he hax done so. I believe there was a general demand for meeting of Con- earlier than September, and the call, Fttsks © willis do\ track towel) having the doubts that exist as to the outcome of the financial conditions.” “Do yon think Congress will repeal the Sher- man act?” “I certainly believe it will. I will say, too, that two weeks ago Congress would not have repealed the act. I know whereof I speak when I say that.” Secretary Gresham refused to discuss other questions that were suggested to him. WHAT WILL CONGRESS DO? Upon What Terms the Silver Men Will Favor the Repeal of the Sherman Law. As it is generally believed that the unsatiefac- tory condition of the financial problem cannot last, and with the further blow that India struck the silver law, a great deal of interest is naturally attached to the probatle action of Congress on this question. While some of the southern members express themselves as surprised that the President should have called Congress together in the middle .of the summer his action is gen- erally commended on all sides. The views of the President on the silver question are well known, and it is thought that his views will more influence the ‘House of Representa- tives than the Senate. It is the Intter body upon which the silver advocates base their hope. The finance committee, as now com- posed, has a majority of three silver members, and, with the exception of Senator Vance, there is no indication that they have changed their views. PLANS OF THE SILVERITES. It is the announced purpose of the silverites to use every method to defeat the repeal un- less they obtain the passage of some other measure which is more to their liking. They have it in their hands to make the fight a tedious and prolonged one, and there is no prospect that the repeal of the Sherman law will be accomplished without « bitter struggle. Under the present rules of the House filibustering can be indulged in, and with the emergerey that now con:routs the administration it is believed that they will be compelled to adopt practically the rules of the Fifty-fi Speaker Reed into such prominence. There can be no doubt that during the past dark days of financial difticulty that silver lost © number of its supporters. This is manifested in the different forms by the members and the acknowledgement that to a considerable extent the purchase clause in the Sherman law has been the cause. Fur- thermore the action of india leaves the United States to support the entire silver problem. These forces have no doubt occasioned changes in views in the House of Representatives, but in the Senate the outlook is not eo prominent iret Congress, which brought | has | being forced to 1 for an unconditional appeal. There it hardly & member of that body who will be willing to vote on a financial bill without first baving expressed his views at some Jength, and throug this senatorial courtesy » debate might be protracted for month.

Busi- nessmea feel encouraged and look for better times tocome. They do not know what Con- gress will do, but they are willing to leave mat- ters entirely with the legislators, relying upon them to do what is best in the premises. In the banking world especially there is an ‘evident return of confidence to an extent that has been unknown for some time past. The banks closed their doors at noon today with a better feeling all sround than they have for many a day. ‘The Washington bankers are practically unanimous in their commendation of the President's action. They maintain for the most part that it has been confidence rather than money that has been lacking and that the chief executive has shown his appre- ciation of the situation and is moving to secure «remedy for the financial ills of the day. The moneyed men of the town think that this will go far towards bringing things back to a healthy state once more. The fact that the session has been called for an earlier day than was generally anticipated is ‘also cause for much congratulation. Mr. J. W. Whelpley,who was the assistant treasurer of the United States and resigned that position to become the vice president and treasurer of the American Security and Trust Company of this city. is perhaps as well qualified to speak of the financial situation as anyone. This afternoon in an interview with Star reporter he summed up the situation about as follows: MR. J, W. WHELPLEY. “I think that the calling of the extra session will restore to a certain extent ghe confidence of the people. I regard this action of Mr. Cleveland's as a very wise one. There is no doubt that things have come to a serious crisis as a result of the unlimited purchase of silver. There is un- doubtedly fear of a depreciated currency. and while this state of things has not come, yet it would necessarily come as soon as gold d left this country to such an ox- tent that we would be unable to redeem our coin in gold. Ilook upon the possible action of Congress as an experiment, but I am eure that some remedy will be’ found for the condition of affairs as they are now that will to the weakening drain on our gold that has been going on for so long Something must be done and I for one have enough confidence in the wisdom of Congress to believe that it will do what is best under the circumstances,” RESTORING CONFIDENCE. ‘The president of another large banking in- stitution who asked that his mame be not used, said: “What I could tell you is hardly worth saying, it is so trite and com- maonplace. It is the opinion of bankers in thie city generally. I am satisfied that the action of the President will have the of- fect of restoring « certam measure of conf- dence among the people generally. It is con- fidence that is scarce, not money. The luck of confidence bas withdrawn s large amount of money from the ordinary channels of trade and business and locked it up in safe laces. This is one potent cause of trouble. I Eave nodoubt that Congress will do what is right, and as to the necessity of repeal- ing ‘the Sherman law there can be no uestion. Exon Senator Sherman himeel{ states that the measure was but a temporary one and enacted to avoid a worse state of affairs—free silver. 1t was with considerable hesitancy that he agreed to it. One country alone cannot maintain a bimetallic system. It is sim- yan impossibility and we a as well understand it first as last. The it financial conditions had to come from the very natare of the case and Iam giad it has come now when things are no worse. — People speak of Mexico as maintaining a bimetal- Me standard, but im point of fact Mexico is on a silver basis. There mints are open to the free coinage of silver, and ihe re- sult is that their dollar is worth about 50 cents. It would be very pleasant to pay one's bills at 50 cents on the dollar, but that sort of thing can’t be kept up for any length of time.” MR. BL OH. WARNER. Mr. B. H. Warner, president Washington Loan and Trust Company, said: “The action of President Cleveland in calling Congre together is most opportune and raises hi the criticiam that he was pro- crastinating in order to gather additional strength to use against silver. In other words that he was going to let business settle its own difficulties and the stringency arising largely from a want of con- fidence act asa club to knock down all who disagreed with policy. This, added to the power appointment and his great fluence as the chief executive of the nation, would haue given him a tremendous advantage, and even a day's delay would have strength- ened his position. In my opinion his act is one of statesmanship, and the silver question will be adjusted on its merite. “There is no sudden cause for misapprehen- sion. What has occurred within sixty days to bring about a scarcity of cash? Have the banks refused to acceptsilver, have they discriminated against it? Not at all, Let the people act sensibly and not foolishly attempt the grab game to protect what they suppose are ther own. in- terest. The banks are much stronger than they were sixty days ago; many timid depositors have been paid loans supported by better collateral and gen- eral prepsrations made for the future based upon ® postponement of the settlement of the question which Congress 18 now asked to act upon early in August. The President has done ‘a wise thing.” UNDER THE CIVIL SERVICE. The Clerks of the War Records Office All Now Protected. ‘The war records office of the War Depart- ment was today placed under the jurisdiction of the civil service commission. Heretofore the sixty employes of that office were without the protection of the civil service laws. Today action is in accordance with the provisions of the legislative appropriation bill.

InN A ‘The Clerks in General Land Office en Account of Changes. The clerks in the general land office are ima state of mind today. Some of them are ina joyous state of mind and others are just the re- verse. There were 105 changes in the Innd office to- day, consequent upon the beginning of the fiscal year and partially as the result of the dis missal of sixty-eight clerks required by the ap- propriation bill for this year. The changes resulted in the vromotion of sixty-eight ages it clerks to better places and the re- duction of thirty-seven to Jower Prony and salaries. Consequently the of the land office this morning was something like an April day of mingled sunshine and shower, and between the tears of the reduced and the joys of the promoted there was a very lively time. For some unaccountable reason the officials refused to make public the list of promotions Dismissals and reductions are never published, | out of consideration for the unfortunate ones, but until now promotions bave always beeu heraided.
