A VERY LIVELY CAMPAIGN.
Joint Debate to Instruct the Indiana
VOters-Confident MIR. Hanna Takes
Illinois into the Damocrafic Camn

VOters-Confident Mr.. Hanna Takes
Illinois into the Democratic Camp.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 13.-The Hon.
Bayless W. Hanna, a prominent Demo-
crat and warm personal friend of Mr..
Hendricks, has published his opinions
upon the canvass and its prospects. With
respect to Mr.. Hendricks he SAYS: "Mr.
hendricks proposes to make an active
hght. Already he has taken the stump,
and already the force of his logic and
mastery rhetoric is beginning to count in
his favor. Next month lie proposes TO
visit Kentucky. His appointments are
such that he can speak but once in Ken
tucky, and that Will be at Lexington. He
Will, however, stop a few hours at the
Gait House, Louisville, and confer with
the Democratic leaders of that city on the
way"
"Will Hendricks name on the ticket
insure Indiana TO the Democrats?"
Undoubtedly, and great many other
western States; and among them Illinois,
the home of John A. Logan. Blaine
favored the prohibitiOnists in Maine, and
there is an overwhelming German ele-
ment in Illinois that will not vote the
Republican ticket on that account. Con-
sldering that Illinois is pivotal State,
and, with the advantage of the German
vote, it is very safe to say that Illinois
will 90 Democratic, and chiefly on ac-
count of Hendricks"
"What about the general Presidential
outlook"
''As a man who has studied the situa-
tion closely since the nominations, and as
man who has been constantly in COM
munication, directly and indirectly, with
the headquarters of both parties, l can
say that the Democratic chances were
never more tlattering. Indeed, there is
every prospect of a great majority for
Cleveland and Hendricks"
Col. W. W. Dudley, Commissioner of
Pensions, spent the day here in close con-
sultation with the political leaders, par
ticularly with Maj. Calkins. Col. Dud-
ley was the candidate of the temperance
wing of the Republican party, as opposed
to Mr.. Calkins, and it is supposed that his
influence will be used with that element
which did not receive Mr.. Calkins' nOmi-
nation with great favor. Arrangements
have been made for four joint debates be-
tween Col. Gray and Maj. Calkins, to be-
gin at Fort Wayne, Oct. Z, to be follow
by debates at Lafayette, GreensbIifS
and Terre Haute on the Sth, 9th; and 10th.
Correspondence has been exchanged be-
tween the two State Central Committees
looking to an extension of the discus
sions, and it is probable that one debate

trict, as has been the custom. Joint de-
bates have also been arranged between

A BAD DAY FOR BANKS.
Heavy Crashes Reported from Several
Parts of the Country.

CHICAGO, Sept. ia special from
Rockford, ILL.,, says N. c. Thompson's
bank closed this morning. The following
notice, signed by N. G. Thompson, was
posted on the doors:
Owing to the stringency in the money mar
/ ket, am unable to meet my obligations as
4 they mature, and so am compelled to suspend
! My assets belong to my creditors until their
| demands are satisfied, and, believing
| from common experience that an assignment
| would involve unnecessary loss to my credi-
| tors, have determined to apply my assets di-
Fectiy to my debtors. If such a course shall
not meet my creditors approval, as soon as
accurate lists OF my property and liabilities
can be made, shall be glad to meet them in
consultation as to how their interests can best
be subserved.
The liabilities are stated at $500, 900.
The assets include stock in the N, C,
Thompson Manufacturing Company and
are believed to be sufficient to cover all
liabilities.
THE LADNER BROS. HELD.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Sept. 15.-The
case of Louis j.. and William T. Ladner,
charged with embezzling some $4,000
worth of the property of Fannie and Sarah
UIman, came up before Judge Elcorck
to-day on a writ of habeas corpus. Ow-
ing to technical irregularity the court
dismissed the writ. Both defendants
were then taken before a Magistrate, who,
having heard the evidence of the Misses
Ulman, held the prisoners each in Sc, 900
bail to answer.
PENNSYLVANIA BANK CLOSES.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. ia special
from Huntington, SAYS: 'EThe Bedford
Company Bank, at Everett, has been

accountant of La Banque de st. Hya-
cinthe, has absconded to the United

A CRISIS AT PANAMA.
The Commerce CT the Country on th'
Brink of Disastar

The Commerce CT the Country on the
Brink OF Disaster.
PANAMA, Sept. 15.-The commerce of
this country is passing through a mo-
mentous crisis. The Bank of RouadOr has
suspended its operations of discounting
exchange, so that merchants were Obliged
to purchase treasury notes at 80 days to
place funds from the interior of Guaya-
quill. These drafts have not been paid.
and the delay has pressed heavily upon
the commercial community. Besides. the
notes which are current at Quito are not
the same as those at Guayaquil, and the
com used upon the coast is not received
IN the upper country. In fact, there
seems to exist great deal of confusion,
and this, Joined to the bad crop this year,
when heavy one was expected, has
brought about a financial crisis. The
President, the Finance Minister, has ar
rived at Guayaquil, and it is hoped that
some arrangement may be made.
THE RAILROAD BREAK.
The recent serious break in the Panama
Railroad was caused by dumping matter
eXcavated by the Panama canal cOntrac-
tors where it changes the course OF small
stream. When the rains sWelled the rivu-
let to torrent its course was directed
against the railroad embankment, which
was speedily cut down to the bed rock. It
seems to be matter of indifference to the
contractors whether the eXcavated matter
returns into the canal or is thrown upon
the line of railroad. In the valley of the
Obispo and of the Chagres there are a
number of dumps pushed out into the
river so as to change channels in many
places. No one can predict where breaks
may occur on the railroad during the
heavy rains OF the wet season.
Letters from the interior state that a
revolution has been set on foot against
the State government by prominent
leaders of the opposition. Fighting is re-
ported from the cities of Socorro and San
Jose. A general disturbance is appre-
hended throughout the State. Fears are
expressed that Autioquina and Oundina-
marca may also be thrown into disorders,
aud the accession to power of President
Nunez is not, under the circumstances,
ausplcious to the peace of the republic.

PRINTERS NOT FOR BLAINE.
An Effort to EnthraI the Government
Typos Defeated by the Union.

An Effort to EnthraI the Government
Typos Defeated by the Union.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-For several
weeks past an attempt has been making
to induce the local Columbia Typographi-
cal Union to indorse Blaine. The movers
in the matter were officials in the govern
ment printing office. At the last regular
meeting of the Union the government
printers were out in force. sESpotters,
were present to note for dismissal those
government printers who did not support
the Blaine resolutions. 1t is not surpris-
ing that under this spur the leaders of the
movement found little difficulty in mar
shaIing the government printers in solid
array in support of the resolutions. But
the downtown nOn-government printers
desiring delay and a possible secret
ballot in order that the real opinions of
many of the government printers might
be expressed, succeeded in securing
an adjournment without action until
next Saturday night.
ATTACKING THE UNION.
A paper has been passed around in the
government printing office pledging gov
ernment printers to withdraw from the
union on the ground that the action of the
downtown printers, who were apparently
InS AllHOlity CHe idsI meeting, was
subversive of the rights of the majority.
Only q signatures could be obtained,
however, to this paper, so that this effort
has been abandoned. The printers would
rather give up their positions in the gov
ernment printing office than withdraw
from the union. The Blaine managers in
the government printing office were
fOiled. 1t is said by the members of the
union that they will be beaten on Satur-
day night. If the vote is secret the Blaine
resolutions will undoubtedly be defeat
ed, for the government printers are by no
means a unit in their favor.

BELGIUMs CLERICAL RIOTS.
The BurgOmaster of Brussels Thanked
for His Efforts for Peace.


BRUSSELS, Sept. 15.-Before the Com
munal Council to-day the Burgomaster
explained the measures he had adopted to
repress the recent disorders. He at
tributed the deplorable excess committed
then to the action OF the ClericaIs, whose
attitude incensed the populace. He as
serted that they posted upon the thorough
fares and streets most insulting placards.
The Catholic organs, he states, reviled
the Liberals, while the Liberal press
counselled their followers to observe
quietude and calmness. The Burgo-
master stated that if it became necessary
be would prohibit the holding of meetings
altogether, but he had found that it was
impossible to repress the universal and
spontaneous feelings of the people. The
Council passed a unanimous vote of
thanks to the Burgomaster for his efforts
to repress the troubles. The civic guards
and police continue to do their duty un-
flinchingly,
