The utmost excitement still prevails, and the most alb
surd and exaggerated fears entertained and
circulated to the probable spread of yellow fever and
tho designs of the infurate awess, Staten Islanders
One the stories circulated to-day and made the ground
work of charge in the Evening Post that The federal
torie aecompces Of the ineaddries il, that Captain
Rch of the United States marines, stationed at the quar-
antnc enclosure, and Mr. Locke the boarding
officer at quarantine introduced Mr. Ray Tompkns into
the quarantine grounds in defiance Of Mr. Thompson,
the health officer and in violation of the quarantine
laws and entertained him at dinner notwithstanding his
alleged guilty participation in the outrage
So far could learn this evening" all is perfectly
quiet in aud Tompknsville and further outrage
has been committed since Sunday Fears are enter
tancd however that attempt will be made night
to fire small line of buildings near the quarantine
trance called Rag pckers Row " but there is chance
of the attempt succeeding if the police force stationed
there go mem do their duty. The utmost indignation
is expressed by every honest at the supneness of
the State authorities and police commissioners. Gov
King in the CITY, it is said appraised of the de
termination to complete Thursday night the work of
destruction commenced on Wednesday night, and
took any steps TO prevent the outrage the prop
erty OF the State from ruin and protect the lives Of the
observation-disclosures in the hospital 1t is runored to night
that King has at length determined to act and
that he will issue proclamation to morrow.
The unfortunate sick about fifty in number) are now
tent comfortable it is pOsgibe
to be under the circumstances Men employed
strlctng hemlocS sheds for their accommodation One
of the officers sent to quarantine has taken the yellow
fever and is very dangerously ILL., From the prox-
unity of the hospital tents to those OF the police it is
apprehended that many of the latter will take the dis
case but the doctors insist that the alarm i'll founded
On Staten Island the incendarics universally laud-
cd heroes, entitled to the utmost praise and popular
commentator This Is certainly comprehensive. IL
is not unnatural that who live the island,
particularly those who live in the vicinity of Temp
knsville should feel excited at being compelled to
live in the immediate neghborhood of lazar- house
filed with tho most fearful pestience and should
every cxcrtion to abate so terrible nuisance, They
have just right to complain that proper efforts not
made to relieve them, and, though am far from wishing
to justify the lawcs5, inhuman outInges of Wednesday
and Thursday nights, cannot and no fair can,
sert that they are wholly without excuse, insufficient
though it be.
The general superintendent of the metropolitan police
Mr.. Tamadge, this day suspended by the commits
sioners for having alleged dsobeyed order given
him by Commissioner Nyc to send police force to the
quarantine on Thursday night.
The statement of the New York city banks of their
average condition for the week ending Saturday Sep
TENDER 4th shows compared with that of the pre-
vious week ending August 2Sth decrease Of Sl9S 5S4
in loans increase of 1921 658 in specie increase
of 500 403 in circulation, decrease of $3.50 3G7 in
ina dcpositos and increase of SPA 400 in uudrawn
depostcs,
Although large portion Of 1925, 1854 of loans
consists of advances treasury notes and
securities reazable at minutes notice, the banks
nevertheless deem it prudent to 'keep snug, and
tract gradually rather than expand Hence the week
decrease in the loan and discount column The increase
in specie less than expected considering that the
last California remittance entered into the entire average
and that the exports Of specie for the week only amounted
to $685. 0S7 &C. The decrease in the deposes shows
increased activity in business circles and the prospect
| steady improvement is reasonably secure Money i
certainly shade dearer. Demand borrowers and hold
of very prime short paper may supply their wants al
low rates but for ordinary business paper Az PEI
