OF IMPORTANCE TO BANKERS.
The New York Clearing House Consider
Ing Two Momentous Changes.

NEW YORK, July Sat noon to-day
there was an important meeting OF the
Clearing House Association to consider
two momentous questions: first, whether
banks shall pay interest on deposits, and
secondly, to devise a scheme to protect
clearing house banks against losses by
fraudulent checks. The committee to
consider the first question consists of
Geo. 5. Coe, g. II. Potts, r. L. Edwards,
.. ID. Baldwin and John Jay Knox. 1t is
claimed that in the event of the Clearing
House approving the recommendation Of
the committee to cease the payment
OF interest country banks will with
draw their deposits, thereby causing
further stringeney in money. A promi
nent official OF a trust company says:
The country banks keep deposits in New
York, because they count as reserves
according to the national bank law gov
erning such deposits, which they would
not do If transferred 10 trust company.
For this reason banks out of town leave
their deposits with national banks, the
question of interest being a secondary
consideration. 1t is probable that should
the Clearing House Association de-
eide not to allow interest on deposits,
these reserves will be taken from
the city and loaned to farmers,
etc, where the banks are located.
The amount involved is not
sufficiently large TO cause any great
stringeney In the money market. The
second question, it is said, will be the
subject Of extended discussion, and some
rule will be adopted whereby certified
checks viii not become credit assets in
the clearing house until paid. 1t is un-
derstOod that the recommendations of the
committee favor the adoption of the
second proposition and also the non pay
ment of interest ON deposits, but owing TO
the Importance of the question at issue
and the discussions likely to ensue def
mite action was not looked for at to-day's
meeting, although the outcome, it is said,
will be theadoption of the recommends
tions

UNNATURAL GRIMES IN AUSTRIA
How Two Woman strangled Their Aged

How Two Woman strangled Their Aged
Father.
Two painful cases Of unnatural murder
have just been tried at Czernowitz. In
one case a gypsy named Onafri had, from
motives Of professional jealousy, killed
his own brother with hammer, and was
sentenced to be hanged. In the other,
two daughters had strangled their aged
father. The women were Iwona Berllak,
aged %, and her sister Anna, 30 years, the
latter being married to Andril semko,
man "a years of age. Anna was married
about six years ago to Semko, but received
no dowry from her parents. After the
death of his wife Berliak took to drinking,
and still refused to give a dOwTy to his
daughter. Anna finally decided to kill
him. She handed her sister form, and
directed her to give it TO their father that
he might be tempted to drink, as she
thought she might the more easily murder
him IL he were intoxicated. On April
last the daughters sat in darkened room
waiting for their victim. BY the advice
of her elder sister Iwona tucked up her
sleeves so that she might not be impeded
by them in their horrible work. Late at
night their old father came home drunk.
The elder daughter again asked him for
her dowry, and when the old man refused
she attacked him, threw him TO the
ground, and began to throttle him. She
called her sister to help, and the latter sat
down on the body OF her father and tied
his hands, thus helping her. Both
daughters confessed the crime. The jury
found verdict Of guilty, and the tribunal
passed sentence Of death. The criminals
showed no evidence of emotion.

THE TARIFF PLANE.
Probabilities that the Marble Platform
Abbreviated VIII Be Adopted,

Abbreviated win Be Adopted.
CHICAGO, July s.-The Committee on
Resolutions is generally regarded as
having majority for conservative
platform. The committee numbers among
It's members, however, representatives Of
the extremists OF both views, and a num-
ber whose position has not been clearly
defined. In any action of the committee
there will be majority and minority re-
ports. 1t is now believed that the subject
of the tariff will have to be fought out on
the floor of the convention.
MORRISON AND CONVERSE TIED.
The Committee on the Platform met in
the parlor of the Iroquois Club tonight,
50 members being present. Malcolm Hay,
of Pittsburg, was made Temporary Chair
man, and VIM. r. Morrison, of Illinois,
was nominated for Permanent Chairman
by the tariff reform members, and
George i. Converse, of Ohio, by
the protection element. A ballot was
then taken on the nominations, which re-
suited in Is votes for Morrison against 1S
for Converse. This tie vote caused some
thing of a sensation among the members,
and another ballot was ordered, which
resulted exactly in the same way. 1t
being apparent that there was deadlock
temporary Chairman Hay should act as
Chairman during the formation OF the
platform, but when that work
was done the committee
should elect a permanent Chairman,
whose duty it will be to present the reso-
lutiOns to the convention.
A chat with a member Of the anti-tarif
wing of the committee elected the Infor-
nation that the representatives of the
States of North Carolina, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and Missouri had voted for MIR.
Converse. The anti-tariff people had re-
lied upon these votes, and had expected
that with full committee the vote would
stand 10 TO % in favor of Mr.. Morrison.
A representative of the MORNING NEWS
learns late tonight that the committee
will adopt the Marble platform abbre-
waited.
The Committee on Platform remained
in session till after midnight. No pro-
gress was made as the time was taken up
in the reception of memorials and adj
crosses. Abram s. Hewitt, of New York,
Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois, Mr.. Butler, OF
Massachusetts, and Mr.. Gwynn, of Cali
fornia, gave notice that they would sub
init platforms tomorrow for discusslonin in
the convention. There was no mention
of the tariff.
During to-nights session Alexander
Sullivan, President OF the Irish National
League, appeared before the committee ON
behalf of the Executive Committee of his
association, and delivered an eloquent adj
dress on the subject of absentee landlord
ism in the United States,

oHIoFS BITTER FACTIoNAL FIGHT.
The faction quarrel between the Thur
man and anti-Thurman parties is to all
outward appearance becoming more in
tense and bitter than when the delegates
nrst arrived. At least a dozen OhiO
delegates declare openly that they will
not vote for Thurman. No caucus vote
OF the delegation on Presidential
preferences has been had, but
from various delegates it is learned that
OHIO stands anti-Thurman %, and Thur
man Il. This estimate is strenuously de-
med by Thurman's supporters, who claim
= votes. The anti-Thurman element in
ONO are uncertain rs to whom they will
support. The indications point tonight
TO their casting at least part of their vote
II Ihurman's friends insist ON presenting
his name.
The Illinois delegation met in secret
session tonight for the purpose of can
vassing the Presidential prospects and at
10 O'Clock was still in session. CleYe-
land and anti-Cleyeland delegates from
New York were admitted and allowed to
present their cases, although not without
protest from several members of the Illi-
nois delegation, who said that they knew
their own minds without outside inter-
ference and wanted to settle their own
questions in their own way.
CALIFORNIA WILLING TO BACK THUR
MAN.
The entire California delegation visited
the Ohi0 headquarters tonight, and ar.
Tarpey, of California. speaking for his
State, said that if the Ohio people would
abandon the candidacy of Hoadly and
would accept in his place Thurman the
Pacific coast would guarantee him solid
Democratic vote and victory. After
Hoadl the anti-Thurman votes in Ohio
will probably go to Cleveland. Ohio will
hold caucus in the morning. 1t is
probable that Thurman's name will be
presented in the convention, no matter
what may be the outcome of the caucus.
With the exception of Maryland it could
not be ascertained that any serious defec-
tion had occurred in the column of the
Southern States which had hitherto de-
clared adherence to Bayard. Maryland
declined by majority of five to vote as
unit for Cleveland on the second ballot.
1t was stated in q very positive way,
however, that the encouragement which
the Thurman movement had received |
would impel his formal nomination, and
that speech would be made by Gen. |

CUBA NOT FOR SALE.
Reports to the Contrary Untruthful and
Absurd

Reports to the Contrary Untruthful and
Absurd.
WASHINGTON. July S.-The Spanish
Minister in this city says that the reports
that are aioat of the proposed sale or
transfer of Cuba by the Spanish Govern
ment are untruthful and absurd. Speak
ing tonight with reference to the most
recent of these stories, that the commits
sion sent from Madrid to inquire into the
condition Of Cuba and ACCESSIBILITY of
selling it had prepared a report, COPY
OF which they had submitted to the
Captain General of Cuba, in which they
expressed the opinion that the interests of
Spain demanded that she should be
relieved of Cuba before. a successful
revolution or the bankruptcy of the COM
mercial interests there deprive her of it,
he said that he believed the story to be
absolutely without foundation; In fact, he
had not heard, he said, Of any commission
from Spain having visited Cuba recently
and thought that if one were there its
mission was simply to investigate into
the condition of Cuba and whether any
reforms are necessary. lie said further
that owing to reports similar to this
which reached Spain from the United
states the ministry had been ques-
toned in Parliament and had
in an unqualified manner de-
MED their truth. He added that even
if the Spanish Government inclined to
such proposition they would not dare
carry out their views, as such an act
would be so unpopular with the Spanish
people that it would lead to the overthrow
of the government, and in addition to this,
he said, a majority OF the people of Cuba
would resist TO the utmost any attempt to
transfer the island to any other govern
ment. In the story referred to above
it was stated that plan had been elabo-
rated by one of the commissioners and the
Spanish Minister to secure the transfer
of Cuba to Germany for % years, for an
annual rental of 100, 200, 900 marks. This
statement Senior Valera also denies.
He says that he has not even heard of
such commission, and certainly has not
seen one of the commissioners, nor elabo-
rated with them plan for the transfer of
Cuba.

Give Him the Lead in the Fray.
CHICAGO, July s.-The night has
passed very quietly at the hotels in COM
parison with the crush and confusion Of
the one preceding. The multitude in and
about the various headquarters was
large, still ingress and egress thereto was
possible, which was hardly true Of the night
preceding. Caucusing, however, went on
as usual, and there was what appeared to
be a final rally against the Cleveland
hosts, which claimed tonight that We
tory was clearly in sight. Numerous
rumors were floating about but
they resolved themselves into the fact that
it was only the field against Cleveland,
with the opposition leaders divising
plans to consolidate scattering votes for
some one as against the Governor of New
York. Last night the Bayard boom took
an unmistakable proportion, but consid-
cradle of his strength deserted him to-day.

There was great interest manifested during
the taking Of the vote. The vote Of the State

when all the other States were called the ag-
gregates, without New York, stood $50 yeas to

called Ior, and Mr.. Manning, the Chairman Of
the delegation, announced y votes in the

the vote recorded as announced.
The Secretary announced the correct vote

amen dment there were 3S2 and against it 46S,

THE VOTE BY STATES.
When the question was put on Mr.. Grady's
amendment there was some uncertainty on
