Having landed, the officers are to report | for service with the rebels and to perform such duty as may be assigned to them. Regarding the plans, it is not intended that any American officer shall become commander-in-chief of the insurgents un- Jess by special zeal and ability he should prove himself worthy of such destination and be selected by the rebel leaders now i Cuba. In case of capture, it was stipulated that every step known to the law and to poli- tics would be taken to prevent their being shot. Several lieutenants in the army, and perhaps ten or twelve who had formerly held commissions, have been spoken to, and it is probable that five or six of the ex-officers will accept the offer and be pre- pared to sail for Cuba within the next ten . The insurgents have representatives abroad seeking to secure trained officers and soldiers for Cuba. No officerof the army, War Department officials say, could take service with the insurgents and retain his commission. An officer might be granted a leave of absence, but the permis- sion would not entitle him to take up hrms against a friendly country such as Spain. The only manner in_which he could join the rebels would be toYesign from thearmy. Inquiry at the War Department elicits the information that thus far no officer has sent in his resignation.

One DMore Filibustering Expedition nded in Cuba. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 19.—Con- temporaneously with the announcement at the Spanish Cabinet has agreed to the Mora claim, the Treasury Depart- ed orders to the revenue ma- rine to manifest increased vigilance in guarding the South Atlantic coast to pre- vent filibustering expeditions for Cuba shores, and to protect our aport towns from the introduc- ellow fever from Cuba. The orders, which are lengthy, state: «In addition to your regular duties under the customs and pavigation laws, you are directed to pay strict attention to the en- | forcement of the neutrality laws. In the course of your cruising fishing smacks and | other vessels from foreign ports which may | be found near the co. with or without the intention of making a port of the United States, and not having a bill of health signed by the Consular officer of | the United States at the foreign port from | which the vessel sailed, wiil be sent by you to the nearest quarantine station, to re- southerr port there to the medical officer in charge. 1 all craft from foreign ith to ascertain if there is ss on board, and if an affirmative re- ply isreceived the vessel will not be boardea but you will order it as above directed and enforce the order. If the reply is negative you will cause the vessel to be boarded by the sanitary inspector and thoroughly ex- amined in the interest of the quarantine service, and by an officer of your command under the customs, navigation and neu- trality laws.” KINGSTON, Jamarca, July 19.—1It is a pretty well established fact that another filibustering expedition has either landed in Cuba or is near the coast awaiting an opportunity. On Tuesday last a strange ip sailed from Ocho Rios, having on d a number of filibusters and aquan- tity of armsand ammunition destined for Cuba. She, it is said, was not molested in any way, and Cuban sympathizers here are congratulating themselves upon a suc- cessful dispatch of her expedition. DISPLA¥ED GR Young Spanish Soldiers Protect Captain- General Campos. PARIS, Fraxce, July 19.—The Temps bas a Madrid dispatch saying that official advices confirm the report of a desperate fight between Cuban insurgentsand the escort of Captain-General Martinez Campos between M. anillo and Bayama, The young Spanish soldiers displayed desver- ate valor. They formed a square around the captain-general and repelled the fierce charges made by the rebel cavalry. Gen- eral Santocildes was killed while heading & charge to cover the column’s retreat. General Campos then directed the re- treat with brilliant intrepidity. He brought in all the wounded and checked the furi- ous attacks of the insurgents, who main- tained their pursuit to Bayamo. arriving at Bayamo General Campos tele- graphed to Generals Valdez and Navarro to hasten from Santiago de Cuba and Hol- guin with their respective forces of 1300 and 1500 men. Letters from General Campos report that the rebeilion is gaining ground in the central provinces owing to the rains paralyzing the movements of the Spanish troops. During June there were 2900 cases of yellow fever among the troops. Of those attacked 104 died. MOVEMENT OF GOLD. Large Amounts to Be Shipped Out of the Country. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 19.— The movement of gold out of the country threatens to assume large proportions. Nesslage, Colgate & Co., the bullion firm who have already forwarded $400,000 gold to Europe, including $80,000 which left on the Normannia, have arranged for the ship- ment of an additienal $100,000 on the Etru- ria on Saturday. The Canadian Bank of Commerce sent $75,000 gold to Montreai to- day, and W. H. Crossman & Bro., a_lead- ing coffee importing house, are considering the ability of exporting $750,000 or $1,000,000 in gotid Saturday. Crossman & Bro. have a large remittance to make to Europe this week. The only question under consideration is whether it will be cheaper to send the gold or bills of exchange. It was admitted at the office of the firm that the matter was under consid- eration, and if bills could not be secured at a rate which would make the shipment of goid unprofitable the latter form of re- mittance would be chosen. Upon | SOLVEDTHE PROBLEM Chicago’s Reform Club and the Silver Question. RIDICULED BY STEWART. More Than This, the Nevada Senator Said That Horr Was a Buffoon. AS TO MONEY AND BARTER. The Solution Not Unlike the Doctor Who Threw His Patient Into Fits. NEW YORK Y., July 19.—Senator Stewart of Nevada stroked his long sile very beard to-day in the golden-tinted halls of the Waldorf Hotel and delivered his opinion of Roswell G. Horr, now de- bating with “Coin’s” and the Reform Club’s argnment in favor of gold. What started the Senator to talking was this in- nocent question propounded by areporter: “Have you heard that the silverites de- sire to nominate Senator Thomas Carter for Vice-President?"’ A painful expression gathered on the Senator’s face as he said, **Oh! that is too absurd to discuss.” “What do you think of the debate now in progress between Mr. Harvey and Mr. Horr?” “It can hardly be called a debate as far as Mr. Horr isconcerned, He is a black- guard and a buffoon, pure and simple. I know him of old. We once had a debate in the columns of the Tribune and Horr's argument was mere buffoonery interlarded with blackguardism. But I was patient with the comedian because I knew the people would read my argument and see the difference.” The silver Senator began to laughina strident satirical ‘vein, somewhat in imita- tion of Jacques in the “Forest of Arden,”’ and finally pitched into a document issued by the Reform Club of this city. “I was reading,” he said, “on my way over from Washington last evening a most interesting document, which seems to settle the money question.” “What was the décument?” “It was the July publication of the Sound Money Pamphlet of the Reform Club.” “How did they settle it?” “They propose to quit the whole busi- ness and return to barter.” “How did they arrive at that conclu- | sion?"” | “By a very natural process. They said | that the selection of centuries favored the | use of gold and silver as a measure of equal and standard money. That such selection raised the inquiry as to which metal ought | to be used. They then came to the con- | clusion that gold must be the better of the | two, but the suggestion that there was not | gold enough seemed to bother them. | “They finally said thatit was a myth, the scarcity of gold and falling prices was iBf!m‘ all a mere fable, but they did not | seem satisfied with their own arguments. | They seemed to fear that the people who | are losing by falling prices might think it | a reality and not amyth. To get rid of | this difficulty they proposed a new scheme. | They demanded that the Government | should abdicate its sovereign power to coin | money and regulate values and confine | itself to stamping the weight and increase | of the bullion. They said when the Gov- | ernment had done this that it had done everything that it had any right or power | to do, and declared that the solution of the { whole question was the abandonment by the Government of its power to make legal- tender money. They went further, and declared that the people should be let | alone to make their own money by con- \ tract.” “They did not explain whether the con- | tract should be oral or written, or how they would make proof in case of oral con- | tracts, nor what they would do with im- | plied contracts for services rendered or | property received. I shall wait with much | curiosity to see how the Reform will work | out the details of its new system. of barter. | They started out to vindicate the gold | standard. They commenced by showing | that the double standard had not been dis- | astrous and they called it a myth.” { The Nevada statesman fired this parting | bomb at the Reform Club writers: “After the argument just quoted they discover that they were thew in the condi- tion of the family doetor, who, because he could not diagnose the case of his patient, proposed to throw him into fits for the rea- son that he had a sure cure for fits. The Reform Club, being overwhelmed by the distress of the country, naturally has re- sorted to the experiment of putting the | country into fits of barter, thinking they have a sure remedy for that particular kind of fit."” AT THE SILVER CONFERENCE.D Northern and Southern Delegates Come Near an Cpen Rupture. CHICAGO, Iix., July 19.—Northern and Southern delegates to the silver conference now under way atthe Auditorium Hotel came near an open rupture this morning. At one time a split in the ranksseemed im- minent over a resolution of Southern men to ignore the bimetallic league. They main- tained that the avowed purpose of the league was to assist the aspirations of their political candidate, Joseph Sibley. The men from the South desired to conduct their work in their section within the ranks of the Democratic party and in the North to conduct the agitation on a non- partisan basis. Mr. Rucker of Colorado asserted that the trouble now in the West was a growing belief that the silver wing was but a tail to the kite. Chairman Goodwin made a conciliatory { speech. He said the Southern people had Apollinaris “THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS.” “First in Purity.” - BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL. not been trained to mnon-partisan efforts, and the gentlemen from the North and West should give them time to grow up to such & sentiment. For the present the work would have to be confined within the Democratic party. When victory there was hopeless then the South would get on common ground. : The resolution which caused the discus- sion and brought the bimetallic league into the conference was one to provide for the raising of funds to maintain bureaus for the dissemination of literature in Chi- cago, San Francisco and Washington. General Warner pointed out that the bi- metallic league wasalready in the field with an office in Washington and distributing the literature, and another bureau in ‘Washington would be regarded by the sil- ver men of the country and the 300,000 members of the league asaslap in the face. Judge Henry G. Miller of Ohio, who is now acting as one of the referees of the Horr-Harvey debate, was selected as per- manent chairman and J. H. Acklin per- manent secretary. The following execu- tive committee was named: A.J. Warner of Ohio, A. Walcott of Indiana, N. C. Blanchard of Louisiana, George E. Bowen of Chicago and Judge A. J. Rucker of Col- orado. It was finally decided that three bureaus for the dissemination of silver literature and the promulgation of the 16 to 1 idea be established by the committee—one in Chi- cago, one in Nashville, Tenn., and the third in San Francisco. The following resolutions were adopted : Whether the single gold standard, with in- creasing debt and consequent servitude for the masses of the people, shall be made perpetual in this country, or whether the constitutional standard of gold and silver, with better prices for the products of labor and safer conditions for business, shall be restored, must be decided by the people at the election in 18986. The issue is between the gold standard, gold bonds and a contracting currency on the one side and a bimetallic standard, no bonds and & sufficient currency on the other. Believing that the time has come when those who hold this issue to be paramount in im- portance to all other questions should make it common cause and should unite their efforts to secure the establishment of these principles, the executive committee appointed at the Memphis silver convention June 12 and 13, 1895, earnestly recommends: First—The organization of bimetallic: leagues throughout the entire country which all those who believe in the restoration of free and un- limited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 independently of the action of any other nation shall be invited to join. Second—That a committee of five be ap- pointed to take charge of this movement to provide for and distribute literature, to place organizers and speakers in the field, and other- wise to advance the cause of bimetallism as in their judgment they shall think best. Third—Each member of the National com- mittee is authorized to select a chairman for each county of his State, and _the chairman so selected may appoint in each district of his county and in each ward of an incorporated town and city three members to constitute a county committee, which committee shail organize bimetallic leagues. Where counties or States have already acted, and organizations have been formed, said organizations shall be reorganized. The chairman of the rTespective county committees shall constitute a State committee. 1 THE HAMOTH TENT Interesting Exercises at the Baptist Young People’s Convention. Great Ovation Given to the Youth Who Represented Northern California. BALTIMORE, Mb., July 19.—The pro- ceedings of the second day of the Baptist Young People’s Convention began with s1x sunrise prayer-meetings in various parts of the city. These were held at 6:30 o’clock and were largely attended. The mammoth tent at Druid Hill Park was fairly well filled at 9:30 o’clock, the hour named for the opening devotional exercises. The devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. L. O. Dawson of Tusca- loosa, Ala. The report of the committee on important topics in the annual report was presented by W. T. Hellings, D.D., of Omaha, Nebr. The nominating cornmittee in its report recommended the re-election of President John H. Chapman. The an- nouncement was received with cheers by the men and waving of handkerchiefs by the Jadies. Mr. Chapman made a stirring address of thanks to the convention and the nominating committee for the honor it had conferred upon him. The only change in the list of vice-presidents was the su stitution of Phillip F. Botzong of New Jersey for Frank Harvey Field of New York. Rev. H. W. Reed of Waukegan, TiL, nominated A. M. Brinkle of Penncy vania as_recording secretary. Fran Moody of Milwaukee and Rev. F. L. Wil- kins, D.D. of Chicago, were renominated as treasurer and general secretary, respec- tively. Tne executive committee was also renominated. One of the most striking features was when Northern California was called. The response came in boyish treble from George M. Purnell of Sacramento. He did not look to be over 15 yearsold. He wore glasses, and his voice was shrill and pene- trating. He said: “I come 3000 milés to greet you in the name of 2400 E)ung peo- ple of Northern California. ‘Eureka’ is our motto.” He continued to speak the allowed minute and over. At the conclu- sion of his speech there were greatdemon- strations, and the gaflormance was con- sidered so remarkable that the delegates called for its repetition on the speaker’s stand. The vouthful orator was escorted to the stand, where a chair was set out on which he mounted. He speech, and at the conclusion led the Colo- rado delegates in the yell about Denver being one mile nearer heaven than Brook- lyn. The applause was tremendous, and handkerchiefs waved all over the tent. The climax of patriotism was reached when the District of Columbia was called. The banner of the delegation, a silk flag of stars and stripes, was waved by Miss Cory, while the Rev. Mr. Thomas of Georgetown delivered a patriotic address. Then the tent audience arose and sang “The Star Spangled Banner.” The short reports and campaign songs were finally tinished and the convention took a recess. The afternoon session was devoted to twelve workers’ conferences in the various Baptist churches on_the general topic, “Young People’s Society as a Workin, Force.”” The conference began at 2:3% o’clock. Addresses were made in each by prominent speakers. g CLAIMS UF SHAWNEES. Indians Ask to Be Paid for Lands on the Mississippi. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 19.—Ex- State Senator W. J. Buchanan of Kansas City, Kans., will go to Washington next month to present the claim of Absentee or Missouri Shawnee Indians now on the Canadian River in the Indian Territory, for $850,000 for twenty square miles of land on the Mississippi River below St. Louis, which was relinquished to the Govern- ment by the treaty of 1825 and for which the Absentees claim to have received no benefit. It 1s one of the largest Indian claims ever presented to the Government by Absentee Indians, and the ‘Eroceedin s in the Umited States Court of Claims wfu disclose much of the thrilling history of the Shawnees from the time they became separated at the time of the breaking out of the Revolution and were scattered in xé%vmg bands throughout the West and repeated his |- | reserved HARRISON WILL RUN. But He Declined to Talk About His Reported Refusal. MUST BE LEFT ALONE At Present the General Will Not Talk Politics for Publication. MR. CLARESON’S EXPLANATION. The Ex-President Not Bothering in ‘the Least About the Nomination. OLD FORGE, N. Y., July 19.—Away back in the Adirondack Mountains, where the subject of politics is almost boring, the people are doing nothing to-day but dis- cussing the announcement that General Harrison would not accept the Presidency again. The New York newspapers con- taining the announcement were eagerly soughtand more eagerly read. Allof them contained a denial of the story by Major Poole. All who read the denial and who were familiar with what had taken place at Dodds Camp and afterward on the steamer Zip were surprised at what the Major said. The language attributed to General Harri- son was told to at least seven persons whose names are known to the United Press correspondent. In his denial Major Poole says he did not tell to any one that General Harrison had said he would not be a candidate for the Presidency. As a maiter of fact, Major Poole, after he and his friends had boarded the steamer Zip on the way to the Forge House from Dodds Camp, called them around him and confided to them the result of the inter- view that Joseph I. Sayles had with Gen- eral Harrison. Major Poole told the party that General Harrison had told him that the trip to Syracuse would not be taken during the State Fair week. After telling this, Major Poole told them what General Harrison had said about the Presidency. He also told them not to state the conver- satien to any newspaper men. He laid particular stress upon this. ‘Whnen Major Poole reached the Forge House he was asked if politics had been diseussed during his visit to General Har- rison. He replied that there was no ref- erence made to anything that partook of the nature of politics. This afternoon Joseph 1. Sayles, who is still here, conduct- ing a lawsuit, was called upon by the United Press reporter in relation to his interview with General Harrison. When asked if he had read Major Poole’s inter- view, he replied that he had. ‘“Have you anything to say for publica- tion regarding the published statement re- garding General Harrison and the Presi- dency ?’’ he was asked. “I have nothing to say,” was Sayles’ answer. ““Was the language £ttributed to General Harrisoh correctly reported ?”” “I will not answer any question regard- ing my visit to Dodds Camp.” All efforts to have Sayles talk for publica- tion about the interview he and Major Poole had with General Harrison were fruitless. The United Press reporter rode to Dodds Camp. General Harrison was reading his mail. He greeted the reporter cordially and inquired as to the nature of the call. When he was told he stopped reading his mail. General Harrison had heard of the story sent out last evening and read to the reporter a telegram he had received re- garding it. ‘‘What, if anything, have you to say, general, about the story ?” he was asked. “I have nothing to say about the story,” answered the general, pleasantly but firmly. “Wili you not deny or affirm the truth of the Poole interview ?” “I will not.” General Harrison said that all efforts to have him talk through a newspaper on anything of a political nature would prove in vain. “I must be Jeft alone, so far as that sub- ject is concerned, while I am here,” he said. General Harrison went fishing to-day, but had poor luck. - Mrs. McKee will ar- rive here to-morrow from Saratoga. NEW YORK, N.Y., July 19.—The Morn- ing Journal this morning says regarding Mr. Harrison's denial that be is a candi- date for the Presidency: While Mr. Har- rison has said nothing regarding his can- didacy, his son, Russell Harrison, is doing some talking and writing in regard to the matter. Regarding the statement that his father is not a candidate and would not accept a nomination, Mr. Harrison, the younger, without any request of secrecy, wrote to a friend, E. G. Bailey of New York, telling him that “Father is a eandi- date, but not actively. If a nomination be tenidered him he would accept it, al- though he is not in the fight as an active aspirant.” James 8. Clarkson, member of the ex- ecutive committee of the Republican National Committee of Iowa, was at the Hoffman yesterday. Clarkson explained his presence here by saying that he has business affairs which demand his atten- tion, and his visit has no political signifi- canc e When Clarkson, who was As- sistant Postmaster-General under Harri- son, was asked what he thougnt about the report that General Harrison had declared that he would not be a candidate for the nomination for the Presidency and would not accept it if it was given him, he langhed and said: ““That story bore the stamp of fake upon it, General Harrison is not pushing him- self to the front. He is, I think, like all the other men named ascandidates, not bothering at all about it. If he makes any declaration about declining the nomina- tion it will be in a direct way, not such a vague, round-about manner in which this story came.” ——— SELLING LEHIGH BONDS. Much Money Raised for Indebtedness and Improvements. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 19.—Fol- lowing close upon a sale yesterday by the Lehigh Coal Company of over $6,000,000 bonds in London, comes the announce- ment of a similar transaction by the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company. This cor- poration to-day sold to Brown Bros. & Co. of this city—the American branch of the foreign house that took yes- terday’s big issue—$1,000,000 collateral trust bonds, bearing interest at 4 per cent and redeemable in ten years in gold. The bonds are a portion of an_authorized issue of $1,500,000, the other half million being for future needs. The bonds are secured by the deposit with the Fidelity Insurance, Trust and Safe Deposit Com- pany as trustee of securities representing a par value of $3,716,225. . The bonds were sold at par and accrued interest, and will no douht in due time be offered to the public. Of the money thus raised, $500,000 will be used in liquidating the floating indebtedness. The remainder will be expended in improvements. SRR e DEMANDED 4 FORECLOSURE. New DMove by the Santa Fe Reorganiza- tion. ALBUQUERQUE,N. M.,July 19.—A bill was filed here yesterday in theUnited States court by the United States Trust Company of New York, trustees under the first mort- gage for the Atlantic and Pacific Railway, asking for foreclosure and sale of the property, no interest having been, paid on the first mortgage since the road went into the hands of receivers in January, 1894. Railroad officials and lawyersfamiliar with the Santa Fe financial affairs infer from thisaction that the reorganization, which represents the interests of the first mort- gage bondhclders, contemplates applying at an early date for a separate receiver- ship, as no agreement has vet been ef- fected with the Atchison = reorganiza- tion committee as to the terms under which the property may be ac- quired in the general reorganization of the Atchison system, of which the Atlan- tic and Pacificis an integral part. e e RAN INTO A COAL TRAIN. Several Persons Injured by a Colllsion on the Erie Road. PITTSBURG, July 19.— At noon to-day two engines and a baggage-car were de- molished and a number of people injured on the Lake Erie Railroad, near McKees Rocks. The accident was caused by a coal train attempting to pass over the main track. A passenger train crashed into the en'fiine of the coal train. he injured are: Engineer Cummings, Fireman Johnson, Assistant General Pas- senger Agent Fouts, Division Passenger Agent Wallace, General Passenger Agent Wood, Charles Leach, ticket agent at Youngstown, together with three men whose names were not learned. Those in- injured were ina Pullman car and were thrown from their seats, A DESPERATE AMBITION, Democratic Treasury Officials Abrogating Two Laws. Not to Pay the Sugar Bounty or the Subsldy for Carrying Foreign Mails. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 19.—So des- perate is the ambition of the Democratic administratien -to make a more favorable showing this year than last in the item of treasury receipts and expenditures that it has deliberately gone to work to abrogate two laws. The act providing for the pay- ment of $5,000,000 bounty on sugar manu- factured and produced prior to August 28, 1894, was passed by the last Congress to relieve, in some degree, the injustice caused by the repeal of the bounty law in the Gorman-Wilson act. Not a cent of the aporopriation will be paid if the treasury officials can help it. The Comptroiler of the Treasury, whose word is final in such cases, has held up the first warrant issued in pursuance of this enactraent and has served a notice on the Oxnard Beet-sugar Company of Nebraska tojappear before him with counsel and shiow cause why the money due it should be paia. This means that the Comptroller will declare the law unconstitutional and will hold up the treasury warrants until he is forced to abide by the law through the judgment of the Supreme Court. The other law that will be rendered null by tbe administration is that providing for the payment of subsidies to steamships for transportation of foreign mails. This law is especially obnoxious because it was passed by a Republican Congress with a view to encouraging American shipbuild- ing, and so increasing foreign commerce in American bottoms. The amount expended yearly under this law is about $8,000,000. This expenditure will be cut off arbitrarily on the pretext of the unconstitutionality, and here, too. a decision by the Supreme Court will be nec- essary before the plain command of Con- gress can be carried into effect. By these subterfuges the treasury offi- cials postpone for a year and possibly longer the payment of §13,000,000. Itis a clear violation of the law for the purpose of making a superficial record. Whatever may be the whims of the Comptroller, no lawyer of any standing has ever yet ques- tioned the constitutionality of either of the enactments. . —_——.—— AN INTERESTING OCEAN RACE. Two United States Ships Coming From Madeira. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 19.—An in- teresting ocean race between two vessels of the United States navy began yesterday from Funchal, Madeira. The vessels are the practice ship Monongahela, having on board a class of naval cadets, and the training ship Allizance, manned by a Inrfie number of naval apprentices. A cable message received at the Navy Department yesterday aiternoon indicates that the vessels started together. The Monongahela is bound for Annapo- lis and the Alliance for Yorktown, so that the race will be to the Virginia capes. Both vessels will proceed under sail, but the Alliance is at somewhbat of a disad- vantage by the fact that she will have to drag her unused prope’ler. The Alliance has a displacement of 1355 tons, while that of the Monongahela is 2100 tons. There is much rivairy between the cadets and the onrentices and the boys on each ship will work hard to have their particular vessel reach the capes first. s i Of Interest to the Coast. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 19.—Among to-day’s arrivals are L. Snock, R. B. Evans, San Francisco. Pensions have been granted as follows: Cazifornia: Original — Sanford R. Pratt, Cohasset; William Savory, Santa Rosa; William Canty, Veterans’ Home; Thomas Roe, San Francisco. Restoration—John Rafferty, San Francisco. Reissue—Aaron K. Gates, Weaverville; John C. Moore, Los Ange]cs; Henry bunhnm, National Soldiers’ Home. G AL Under Civil Service Rules. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., July 19.—This afternoon an order of President Cleveland was promulgated placing the employes of the several pension agencies of the United States under civil service regulations. They number between 500 and 600. The President also issued an order plac- | ing the firemen employed in all executive departments of e Government under eivil service rules. —_———— Takes Charge of a Bank. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 19.—Acting Comptroller Tucker has directed Bank Ex- aminer Casson to assume charge of the Puget Sound National Bank of Everett, ‘Wash, which failed {umdsy. The bank is a small one, capital $70,000, and had on the last statement only $47,000 in individ- ual deposits. SPAL T ey Executed at the Capital. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., July 19.—James Travers (colored) was hanged in the United States Jail this morning for the murder of Lena M. Rose, his colored mistress, in November last. He was executed upon the scaffold from which Guiteau was launched into eternity. X GIVEN THE “HA HA" Bankers Smile Over the Boycott of Mr. Sov~ S éreign. BILLS GOOD AS GOLD. No Danger but That the Knights of Labor Will Take National Notes. SILVER CAN ALSO BE SUPPLIED. Men of Money Believe That Only Notoriety Is Sought by the Manifesto. CHICAGO, ILL., July 19.—Chicago bank- ers give Mr. Sovereign’s boycott the merry “Ha, ha!” “Such a boycott as SBovereign proposes would not bother us much,” said Lyman J. Gage of the First National Bank, “for we have no bills in circulation. The issu- ing of bills by National banks does not pay. To secure the notes United States bonds must be purchased, and there is a high premium on these in the first place. The proposition of Sovereign is absurd, anyway. The working people are not go- ing to refuse bond bills when offered in payment of wages. Of course, if they want silver it can be furnished to them, for the Government vaults have plenty of it ready.” “1t is ridiculous,” said Morton B. Hull, vice-president of the National Bank of America. “I think Sovereign is simply seeking a new sensation, and has not studied the question at all. He evidently is not aware that every National bank note, while not a legal tender between in- dividuals, is redeemable in gold at the United States Treasury. Itis made so by the deposit of Government bonds by every National bank to secure its circulation. No workman is going to decline these notes.” “I don't believe the workingmen of this country are fools enough to follow such silly advice,” said Richard C. Lake, vice- president of the Union National Bank. *They know that the bills of a National bank are secured by Government bonds, and have a purchasing power equal with gold. They will not bother the banks or cause any panic if they don’t take them, but I expect there will be no difficulty about them accepting the notesand getting as many as possible of them.” Other bankers, such as John E. Meyer of the Commercial National, Robert M. Orr of the American Exchange National, F. W. Gookin of the Northwestern National, and many well-known financiers in banks not incorporated as Nationai, spoke in similar terms of ridicnle at Mr. Sovereign’s latest attempts at a sensation.” PROGRESS IS THEIR CRY, Business Men Determined to Have a Greater Kansas City. Backed by a Blg Newspaper They Start on a Tour Through New England. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 19.—A party of twenty representative Kansas City busi- ness men from both sides of the Btate line, headed by Mayor Webster Davis of Kansas City, Mo., and Mayor George J. Twiss of Kansas City, Kans., leit this evening over the Santa Fe for a tonr of the manufactur- ing centers of New England. The party travels in the private Wagner palace car ‘Wanderer, as the guests of the Kansas City Times. The trip is incidental to the popu- lar movement for what has come to be known as the greater Kansas City, that is, a city of 500,000 instead of the present 250,000 people, beforz the Federal census of 1900 is taken.
