The Pacific Bank.

Boston, 29.-At meeting ofthe airec-
tors and principal stockholders, Of the
Pacific Bank, the condition of the banks
affairs were explained by Examiner
Needham. In order TO resume business,
the bank must be able to meet liabilities
of about IS, 800,000 These include
81, 600, 000 due other banks, the remainder
being divided between depositors and
holders of certificates of deposit. The
assets to meet these claims comprise
Weeks miscellaneous securities to cover
his debt of 81, $50, 600. the sum OF 81, 500.
900 due from other banks, specie and
legal tender notes on hand, and probably
81, 100000 promiscuous loans and dis
counts. An indication of the character
Of these securities is the shrinkage of that
portion which have total face value Of
So, 100000 to the extent Of making it ne
cessary to rAise $l,500,00O cash before
the bank can resume The directors are
not yet ready TO give the public the de-
tails Of liabilities ard assets. The in
solvency OF the bsnk is entirely due to
Weeks indebtedness, and that it will
pay S5,000,000 Of the sum necessary to
pull the bank through its difficulties.
Several stockholders offered to subscribe
$4,000, 600 to this end. A committee of
directors and stockholders WAS appointed
with instructions to make further can
Yass among all stockholders and obtain
the sum necessary for resumption.

He said, to-day, that he had come to the
conclusion there were two horns to the
dilemma, either Of which could only be
met by suspending the coinsge of the

the frat place, j: was clear that without
the cooperation of other commercial
countries we could not carry and main

currency of the world, having now all
we needed for our own use; second, il
other nations should agree upon a stan

different from ours, and then dollars
would have TO be renewed. In either
event he thought we did not need any
more dollars at present.

covered by those Instructions have been

It will distinctly make known to the

governments, canro: be abused or misin-
te.preted by any South American state,
to cover policy of spoliation and vio-
lence towards other South American
states, which would speedily attract
European interference. were the United
States to suffer it to pass unnotice1.

The Irish American COaVen
ton,

Chicago, 29.-Already about 700 dele
gates have arrived to attend the Irish
national convention at IL ana. to-mor-
row. Many of the eastern and New
England delegates are Catholic clergy
men. Among the most notable Of the
lay delegates are are General P. Collins
aud NJ. T. Donohue. Boston; Major Hsg-
gerty, Judge Mccarthy, John Dewey, of
New York. From the west are the
mayors Of Dubuque and Denver; Father
Tanning. Illinois; Rev. DR.. Belts. St.
Louis, Episcopal clergyman, and Major
Shiel, OF Arkansas. An Australian dele
gate is here, in the person OF Father Nc
Cabe, who assisted John Boyle O'Reilly
in mis- escape from penal settlement in
Australia. Father Sheehy and Mr..
Healey, N. P, arrived tonight It is
expected that when the convention as
sembles tomorrow, there will be at least
1000 delegates in attendance. A general
feeling seems to be that people at home
should shape their policy and the people
here organize to assist in making that
policy successful. The 40 rent mani
festo will be endorsed but it is not likely
that the extreme views advocated by the
Ford section of no rent, absolutely, will
be even considered.
Chicago, 30.-The Irish national con-
vention assembled at noon at McCor-
mick Hall, which was completely filled,
largely by delegates. John +. Tinerty,
Of Chicago, called the meeting TO order,
and Hon. Patrick G.. Collins. Boston,
nominated for permanent chairman ex-
Congressman VIM. j. Hynes. of Chi
cago, the nomination being seconded by
Patrick Ford, thus hsrmonizing the two
elements Of the convention, the mo rent"
and the mo rent absolutely" factions.
Hynes accepted the nomination in 8
brief speech, and the organization of the
convention was completed by the cleo
ton of vice-president and secretary, and
the appointment of committees on Gre
dentials and resolutions. The declara-
ton Of the convention will favor full
support by all Irish societies of this
country of the Land League in Ireland.
Probably the convention will conclude
its business and adjourn tomorrow.

German Gatherings.

Berlin, oo.-In the Reichstsg, to-day,
the discussion on the second reading Of
the budget began. Bismarck repeatedly
spoke. He declared that he had pro-
gressed while the progressist party were
inclined to put on the drag. He said he
adhered more firmly to his economical
policy in proportion az be saw the rAdi-
cal elements lead in the liberal party.
Huenel, progressist, complained that
Bismarck in reports to the emperor, had
cast doubts upon the loyalty OF the pro-
gressists and represented them as repuD-
licans.
Bismarck replied that he had advised
the emperor to the best of his belief, and
had in that matter done his duty. The
emperor, he said, constituted strong
feature on the system Of government.
How personal was tie rule OF the Hohen-
zollerns would be seen in the fact that
under Emperor Williams brother. the
government was conducted according to
different maxins from those now OBJ
served. Emperor Williams personal
share in government was so sctiVe
that he could lot be prohib-
tied from speaking to bis people.
Bismarck added that Germany was not
to be governed after the English pattern.
The conduct Of affairs was in the hands
ofthe Emperor and the chancellor wa
the sovereign's responsible advisor and
would continue to be. Bismarck pro-
tested against the manner in which his
name was being perpetuslly dragged into
the debates. Reichster related that it
was 8 consolation for liberals to know
that the Hohenzollerns had no-liking for
the domination of the major domo, and
that Crown Prince Frederick William
would maintain complete Independence
in his dealings with Bismarck. The de-
bate, which throughout was very excited,
closed without result as far as the sbusi-
ness Of the day was concerned. 1t was
remarked that Wundherst seconded Bis
msrck in his remarks upon progressists.

To All Our Friends.

Having had numberless inquiries for adver-
tising cards from ladies in all parts Of the
country who are interested in the prevailing
fashion of making ''Card Collections" we are
having printed for them a set of seven beau
tifuI cards, each in six colorS and on gold
back ground. in the very highest degree of
art illustrating Shakspeare's ''Seven Ages Of
Man" We have spared no expense in these
cards-they are simply little art-gems Our
only aim has been to publish the finest cards
vet shown. Applications for them have come
in SO rapidly that nearly the whole edition Is
engaged before the receipt by us of the cards
from the artist. We have therefore been
obliged to adopt the following plan tor the
distribution of the remainder: No more of the
gilt Shakespeare cards, seven in the series, will
be sent excepting upon the receipt of state
ment from grocer that the person applying
for the cards has buoght of him on that day at
least seven bars of Dobbins' Electric Soap,
this manner will receive the full set of seven
&C rds gratis by mail. This will insure us that
our friends and patrons get their share of
these beautiful designs, although it in no
manner repayS lis for the cost of the cards.
Your grocer has the soap or will get il, and
the purchase by you of seven bars of it at one
time will secure for you gratis seven really
beautiful cards. The soap improves with age
and is an article Of necessity in your house
every week. Therefore You are not asked to
buy useless article, but one that you must
have anyway. Please send us your applfca-
tiOns at once, and tell your lady friends ma
king Gard Collections to do the same
