Special Despatch 20 The Euentng Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The Navy Department
received dispatches to-day from Admiral Turner,
commanding the South Pacific Squadron, dated
Valparaiso, April 2. He forwards reports of the
visit of the Tuscarora to Buena Ventuera, Col
ombia, to Investigate the insult to the Consular
flag of the United States, and the arrest and inn
prisonment of our Consul, Mr.. Eder, who, on n
visit to Palmyra, was waylaid and an attempt
made to assassnate him by man who had pre-
viously stolen articles from him. In the melee
our Consul killed his assailant, for which he was
imprisoned two days and the case dismissed.
On New Years Day the Consulate was attacked
by mob, and the flag torn down and dragged
through the streets. Our Consul was again ar
rested and again dismissed by the authorities
owing to the interposition of our Minister to
Bogota, Mr.. Sullivan, who had the matter salts
factorily adjusted before the arrival of the
Tuscarora.
The Eight-Hour Law.
1t appears that the eight-hour question has
been the subject of conversation in the Cabinet
on one or two occasions. The Presidents atten-
ton was called to 1t by Senator Wilson and
the matter was discussed in council, but no ac-
ton was taken. 1t is not believed that the order
of Secretary Borie on the subject will be re-
scinded, nor that any action will be taken before
the meeting of Congress.
Cards at the White House.
This being card day at the White House, the
the ante-rooms are filled by ofiice-seekers, among
them j. s. Carlisle, RUSSELL Jones, and others,
who failed of confirmation by the Senate. Car
Isle and Jones are anxious to have the Presi-
dent take some definite action in their cases.
General Robert Il. Lee
arrived at Alexandria route to his home in
Lexington, Virginia. A large number of citi'
zens called on him to pay their respects.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
OFFICE OF THE EVENING TELEGRAPH,l

The usual weekly statement of our banks
again shows Improvement in the Money market.
The increase in the deposits is relatively large,
being 81, ,2S9, $50; the legal-tenders show an in
crease of S6i7,SO but the loans only 1916 76O.
The discrepancy between the two items of de-
posts and loans is rather unexpected,
as to the amount, in view of an
active loan market during the week,
whilst it corroborates our views as to the
excess OF resources over the daily demand for
money. The above exhibit is an indication of
case rather than health in money circles, and
we would have preferred to see better equali-
ZatiOn of the deposits and loans, as this would
have indicated a more active condition of trade,
Money Is no blessing to the community unless
1t can be used to produce money, and as the
banks have augmented their resources over
million dollars during the week. we hope that
additional inducements will be held out to our
business men TO employ it by further decline
in the rates for accommodation.
Call loans to-day continue to rate at 501 per
cent, according to securities offered. Dis
counts range from Gas per cent. for good names
in both markets
Government securities are without change in
prices, Gold is rather weak. The market
opened at 1865, rose to 1861, and declined to
1861 at l2 NJ. to-day.
The Stock market was dull, and prices,
although without material change, were weak.
State loans were quiet, with sales of the second
series at 1867; and the third do. at 1O7. City
6s are without change, selling at 1917 for the
new issues, and 80 for the old. The Lehigh
Gold loan was steady at 941S.
Reading Railroad, though quiet, was the most
active of the speculative shares, selling at 4194

Licenses to American Fishermcr

OTTAWA, May An the House of Commons
Mr.. Sayery moved for return of the licenses
issued to American fishermen during the last
year. He held that the treaty as to the three
miles limit applied to headlands and not to
bays, and that, while not adopting prohibitory
policy, such license fee should be imposed as
would be some equivalent for the privilege of
allowing Americans to fish in Canadian waters.
Several members from the maritime provinces
spoke in support of the motion, stating that
tirmer policy should be adopted towards the
States, to meet the exactions and restrictions
imposed on Canadian trade. Mr.. Auglin, from
Nova Scotia, advocated the total exclusion of
foreign fishermen from the fishing g-grounds. He
said in many cases, owing to encroachments of
American fishermen, Nova Scotians had been
driven off their own fishing coasts The motion
was adopted
