MUST TAKE HIS MEDICINE " Bank Wrecker Mosher's Efforts to Compro- mise Not a Buccess, { ATTORNEY GENERAL OLNEY'S DECISION Proposition to Refund & Small Portion ob the Funds Appropriated Emphatios ally Rejected—No Consolation Offered the Lincoln Financler, 518 FouRTRRSTH STREET, Wasiixaron, D. C., June 14. A special dispatch 18 printed hers this morning to the effect that G. M. Lambertson ‘had made an effort to indute the attorney general to accept a heavy fine from C. W. Mosher, the bank wrecker, in lieu of crim- nal prosecution. This is substantially cor- | rect. It now appears that Messrs. Mckar- | land, Lambortson and City Treasurer |/ Stevenson, accompanied by Secretary Mor- ) ton, had an interview with Attorney General Olney on last Saturday in relation to the Mosher case. Secretary Morton had advised the trio of the folly of the proposition they were to mako to the attorney general, but they in- sisted upon sceking a porsonal interview. Their proposition was that Mosher should put 190,000, this sum to be used to pay the smaller depositors of the bank, and in con- sideration of this all prosccution of Mosher was to cease. 'The money was to be secured through Mosher's wife, who has recently been left §200,000. The attorney general received their propo- sition rather coldly, and told them emphat- feally that the government was not in the habit of permitting men to wreck bank and then escape scot fres by returning a small percentage of the money wrongful and wilfully misapplied, 1if not stolen ou! right. “The government does mnot propose to es tablish ‘a four hundrea’ for criminals,” said the attorney general, ‘“and Mr. Mosher must stand trial and take his medicine.” News for the Army.

WASHINGTON, June 14.—Secretary Morton hasan explanation for the improvement in the financial situation. “I was in Chicago,” he suid, “during the run that w made on the banks there. 1 stood in the window of one of the lurgest commission houses. and watched the crowds anxious to draw out their savings. “One of the ofticers of the institution called a clerk and authorized him to sell at once 800,000 bushels of wheat at what vrice he could. The sale was quickly made for ship- ment to Liverpool at about 7715 cents. 1t would seem that we have reached tho price at which forcign markets will purchase our wheat, and it is now going abroad. Instead, thereforo of gold shipments, there will be exchanges for cereals and the financial problem will be easior.” ST have no doubt that we shall be abl repeal the Sherman law,” suid Represen tive Witson of West Virgima this eveniy WBut the question s what condition or compromise will have to be acceded to first.

Des Morsgs, June 14.— [Special Telegram to Tre Bee.]—The time of the right worthy grand lodge of Good Templars was taken up today with routine business, One of the most important transactions was the change of the nawe to ‘iinternational supreme lodge" by & voto of 121 to 86, after a vigorous discussion. On call of jurisdictions, Representative Nixon responded for Manitoba by saying that that province had by 12,000 majority de- clared in favor of prohibition, and even the cities had voted against the traffic. Good Templars had led in this work. Representative Brackett reported that tho Good Templars were getting things protty much their way in Maine, and that prohibi- tion was being constantly strengthened there. Representative Brunson reported from South Carolina, describing tho new law of that state. While uiider it there would be no barroom in South Carolina, tho state would, of itself, be in a barroom. He hoved, however, that prohibition would pre- vall there. R. W. G. C. Wavinsky made an interest- ing report from Sweden, speaking of the difficulties attending the spread of tectotal- ism in that country, the presence of a mild form of malt drinks being among them. Peoplo tiere were once vain of their capac- ity for drinking. Now teetotalers are hon- ored as brave men. He related that one wealthy man had given about £15,000 for the endowment of a school of tectotalism at the University of Upsala. Sweden has 80,000 tectotal Good Templars. The race question was brought up by a report of the majority of the committee on constitution, in favor ¢f an amendment so as to do nway with the establishment of separate grand lodges for different races.

Representatives Dodge of Michizan, Stearns of New Yok, Miller of Virgin Whtte of Ohio, Poultuey of South Afri ana Mrs. Keiffer of Ontario spoke in opposi- tion.

His departure is being hastened on account of the doep feeling aroused against him, Dur- ing his administration and since bis ov throw Sacaza has been the special object of the wrath of the citizens of Leon, which is his native town and where there cx great jealousy against the citizeus of C ada, Who are HOW ONCe mOTe I Poswer: Since his forced resignation from the pres- idency Sacaza has visited Leon. His stay there has been made very unpleasant. He was reproached by many of his old follow- ers, who declared he should not have sur- rendered to their old enemies. Sacaza was held responsible for all the misfortunes of the republic. His residence was surrounded every day by women whose rolatives had lost their lives in the effort to maintain his authority and he was bitterly denounced by them. Many of them demanded revenge for the killing of father, husband or brother. Bitter curses were called down upon him, The situation became so unpleasant that Sacaza determined to at once leave the coun- try he so recklessly ruled. fle went to Corinto secretly yesterday for that purpose hoping to geton board the United States cruiser Alliance. The cruiser had sailed for Panuma, hawever, two hours before Sacaza reached that port. Bacaza was disappointed when he found that the Alliance had sailed. He will remain in Corinto and leave the country at the first opportunity Nioaragun's fuvestment Sound, Inited States Minister Baker and Senor Castille, the Nicaraguan minister of war, whom I interviewed today, deny the report that marines have been landed from the cruiser Atlunta at Greyton to protect the interests of citizens of the United States.

DRAWING ON NEW YORK CITY Both the West and South Going There for Their Bupply of Ourrency. LARGE AMOUNTS ARE BEING SHIPPED Causes Glven for tho Movement—-A Rriet Resame of the Financial Situstion— How the Country's Trade 13 Belng Aftectods New Yorg, Juno 14.—The shipment of currency to the west and south by New York City banks was continued today and excited much comment in financial circles, The amount sent out yesterday was esti- mated at more than §1,000,000, and another £1,000,000 was ordered today. When asked as to the cause of this shipment of currency, which is malnly to the west, the amount sent out within tho last days, itis belioved exceeding §14,000,. 000, bankers agreed in saying that the do- mand was largely due to tho distrust pre- vailing everywhere in this country, espe- cially in the west, whero there have been a great many failures, both of banks and of commercial houses. Stringency of the money market is being exverienced at both ends of the line mnow. The savings banks, as well as other banks out west, areall fortifying themsclves as much as possible, and that, especially in the case of tho country savings banks, is caus- ing a hoarding of mouey in those places, and a consequent drain upon the banks of New | York City. Asa result of this, many New York banks are being compelled to call in loans in oraer to maintain their lawful re- serve. Their lines of discount aund time loans are practically fixed, so that they can- not be disturbed, and so they have no alter- nativo but to ask for the payment of their call loans in_case their maturities do not meet their daily needs. The sending for- ward of wheat, 1t is believed, will only ac- count for a very small part of the demand for currency from the west. Last week the United States treasury took $1,000,000 from the banks as the result of the week's overa- tions, but this week it is expected the banks will gain at least $1,000,000 from tho treasury and probably more next weei, as the pa) ment of pensions has begun and will reach its height next week, Affectlng Trade. Asan indication of how this monetary stringency is affecting trade in all its rami- fications, it is reported in Wall street today that three large mereantile houses in Ch cago were endeavoring to get extensions in this city from wholesale houses of whic they had bought goods. Another indication of the stringeney is the fact that a large mercantile house in this city of first-class credit had to pay 12 per cent for extension o tide it over a tight place.
