NEW YORK, May l6.-Donnell, Law
son 4 Simpson have failed, and handed
this card to an Associated Press reporter:
ITO our creditors: Sirs-It is with great
sorrow that We are compelled to report our
suspension, which has been brought about
which we had no control. We can only
request those having claims against us to
extend such consideration and indulgence
as possible, and otherwise our assets may
be sacrificed to ~prejudicial parties as the
best means of realizing from our assets
and securing cur creditors. We have
made assignments of all assets Of the firm,
also individual assets of each member of
the firm, wherever situated, to our conf
dental clerk, r. II. Weems, who has been
in our employ for twelve years, and is as
well acquainted with our business and
character Of assets as any member of the
firm, and under his management, with as
sistance Of every member of the firm who
propose to give him every possible aid in
executing his trust, we feel warranted in
saying by this means that every dollar
that can possibly be realized will be Sc
cured. We hope to be able to pay all
our liabilities if our business is prudently
managed and our assets are to be sacri-
feed, and we hope you will concur in and
endorse the plans proposed. (Signed),
DoNNELL, LAWSON & SIMPSON"

Decline in Government Bonds.

= WASHINGTON, May l6.-Some aston
ishment is manifested at the Treasury
department over the decline in Govern
ment securities and it is only accounted
for on the theory that the bonds were be-
ing rapidly converted into money to be
used in more profitable investments. Sec
Rotary Folger said this afternoon that he
had received no information from New
York on the subject and was consequently
unable to explain the decline. The fact
that only S109, O9O called bonds were of
fered for redemption in New York yester-
day is regarded as an indication that the
people who hold the bonds are not in
great need of money at present. A con-
ference was held at the Treasury depart
ment this afternoon as to the best method
of relieving the financial pressure in New
York. In view of the decline in 4 per
bonds it was proposed that the See
rotary authorize the purchase of these
bonds in open market. 1t was virtually
decided to pursue this ours in case the
decline continues.

"His Honor" and HBiiah.n

DETROIT, May 16.-David E. Har-
baugh. ex-Police Justice of Detroit, died
yesterday at the Pontiac Insane Asylum.
He was born in New Lisbon, O., in 1908,
and came to Detroit forty-nine years ago.
He practised law, became Collector of
Internal Revenue, and some years ago
filed the Office of Police Justice. Mr..
Harbaugh had been made famous the
world over by the Central Station sketches
of M. Quad, " the humorist on the De-
troit Free Press; whose pen pictures of
"His Honor and "Bijah" were grotesque
characters of Mr.. Harbaugh and the ven
cradle police doorman, Abijah JOY. The
latter is still living here. Mr.. Harbaugh
became a mental wreck some years ago.,
and has since been in the asylum.

NEW YORK, May l6.-Fisk & Hatch
are open for all desiring to consult the
firm but no business will be transacted be-
yond receiving claims and fixing a basis of
settlement. Fisk said that many deposi-
tors and other creditors expressed entire
confidence and notified them that their
claims would not be pressed. Business
begun at the Stock exchange without the
appearance of any furry. Stocks opened
weak and feverish except Western Union.
Union Pacific and st. Paul II per cent
lower; Northwestern !, Lackawanna /,
Lake Shore %, Reading and Omaha %.
This was succeeded by a better feeling
and a general advance of to 2 per cent,
foreign bankers buying extensively. Elk
change weak and rates reduced from
S4.S53@4.S73. Stocks lent fiat to 6 per
cent for carrying. Rumors of failures
continue but as no announcement has yet
been made they are treated with ridicule.
as 40 necessity exists for such action.
Speculation being in nc sense panicky the
officer of the exchange states that he was
informed by Russell Sage that he should
meet every put in but must proceed
slowly. The clearing house committee
have loan certificates ready for instant de-
livery and express the determination to
use them literally with a view to relieving
without delay any ~stringency in the money
market. There was some wild talk about
closing the Stock exchange.

Double Hanging.

ASHLAND, O., May l6.-Horn and
Gribben were hanged to-day at II o'clock.
The execution was witnessed by ten or
twelve thousand people. The sth regi-
ment, numbering 800 men, guarded the
jail since last night against the mob which
camped outside the city limits, threaten
ing to tear down the jail, but the presence
of the military, heavily armed with ball
cartridges, prevented any outbreak. Both
men passed a sleepless night, Horn spend
ing the night in writing and Gribben in
reading the bible. Gribben took leave of
hisIwife this morning and Horn of his
sister. Horn suffered the penalty of the
law for the murder of Harry Williams
during a drunken quarrel on March 25
last. Gribben was convicted as an ac-
complice.

BALTIMORE, May l6.-In the African
Methodist Episcopal general conference
to-day, Bishop Payne delivered an inter
esting address on THE Reconstruction and
Redemption of Africa" Rev. T. H.
Jackson read a fraternal letter from the
Methodist Episcopal church. Rev. W.
B. Derrick said it was time to show the
Methodist Episcopal church hat if it did
not want to associate with the African
Methodist Episcopal church, the African
Methodist Episcopal church did not need
it. When negroes are admitted to the
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church it makes those conferences restless
and the only way to keep things quiet is
to keep the colored men out,

THE PUBLIC LANDS.
A Movement to Reduce the
Government Gifts, .
Under Different Acts to One
Hundred and Sixty Acres.
The General Telegraphic News
of the Day.


WASHINGTON, May l6.-The report
has been submitted to the accompanying
bill reported from the House Committee
on Public Lands, providing for the re-
peal of the pre-emption, timber culture
and the amendment to the homestead law.
The committee say: I'VE believe it
should be the policy of the Government
to give those of our W citizens who are
without homes, such an amount of the
public domain as will make them com
Portable homesteads, where they enter
upon it in good faith, intending to make
it their home, to cultivate and live upon
the same for a fixed period of time, and
we believe 100 acres should be the maxi
mum under the presumption, homestead
and timber culture laws. As they now
stand one person may become the owner
of $50 acres of the public domain, 100
acres under each provision. This is too
large an amount of land for any person to
acquire in this manner. We think the
policy of the Government should be to
furnish as many of its citizens with COM
Portable homes as long in future as posi-
BILE, and 100 acres is sufficient for this
purpose. By giving them this amount it
will not be many years until all our public
domain will be taken up. The pre-emp-
ton law was passed in 81; the homestead
law in go, and the timber culture act in
'73. When the homestead act was en-
the presumption law should have
been repealed, and the timber culture law
should never have been passed. We have,
therefore, in a substitute provided for the
repeal Of the presumption and timber
culture acts and an amendment for the
homestead law

WASHINGTON, May l6.-General B.
+. Butler, to-day addressed the Senate
Committee on Education and Labor, ON
the general features of the labor problem.
He asserted that the present difficulties
were due to over production. We had,
he said, a year crop of grain on hand
and were within three months of another
crop. Nearly a years crop of cotton was
now stored in warehouses. After refer
ring to other commodities which were in
stock in excess of current requirements,
he said why, we have twenty years
supply of whisky on hand" He was ia
.cetiously reminded that this was a deli
cate subject. He admitted that for one
who was supposed to be a presidential
candidate it was necessary to be cautious.

The DAY Ended Peacefnlly.

New YORK, May l6.-The feeling in
stock circles was more confident; in fact.
dilivery hour passed by without failuresof
impaired strength. Prices at the close
were active and advanced l to 5 per cent
from the lowest point, with some little re-
action at the close, but speculation left off
strong. Seligman cabled for shipments
from Europe of 1000, 600. francs in
Napoleons and probably SlOO,O 900 double
eagles from London. Russell Sage just
stated to Jay Gould that he settled more
than three-quarters of his puts and
continues settling up as fast as force can
figure accounts The speculative day
ended peacefully. All evidences go to
show hat the period of semi-panic is over
and that monetary affairs are gradually
returning to their accustomed condition.

The Methodist Conference

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 16.-In the
Methodist conference the committee on
1tinerancy reported a resolution that
direct negotiations between the pastors
and churches in advance of making APP
pointments by bishops are contrary to the
spirit of our itinerant ministry and subser-
Went to ecclesiastical polity, and should be
discouraged by bishops, pastors and the peo-
pie. The report was adopted. The commit
tee on Itinerancy deemed it inexpedient to
take action as to licensing women to
preach or ordaining them.

Determined to Raise a Row.

WASHINGTON, May l6.-The Secretary
of the Treasury received a telegram from
Special Agent Hubbs, at Key West, say
ing hat a mob there, interested in the
Cuban instruction, had publicly announc-
ed their purpose of using violence to the
Spanish Consul at that place, and that
he had offered the Consul protection at
the Custom house, but the offer was de-
clined. Secretary Folger telegraphed to
the special agent to confer with the naval
authorities at Key West and to cooperate
with them in the protection of the life and
property of the Spanish Consul.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, May l6.-A
Gdzete's Prescott special says: Frank
Ward, a peddler, on the 10Th of April

Centre Point. Polk accompanied him to
a creek where, aided by a man named
Kuykendall, he murdered Ward, burning
the body and pulverizing the bones. Yes

lynch law will be enforced, but thus far
nothing has occurred

to-day turned over 50, 500, 900 of securities
left with them for safe keeping, and are
prepared to return all securities deposited
with them as collateral on loans as soon as
the latter is paid off. 1t seems to be the
general impression in Wall street circles
that all danger of the continuance of dis
turbanees for the past few days is over.

Loaning Them Money.

New YORK, May l6.-The meeting of
the Clearing house committee to-day re-
suited in a decision to loan to the mem
bers of the association all money required
at par on pledge Government securities.
This will, it is thought, hold materially
the prevailing ~stringency of money.
George ". Ely, secretary of the Stock
Exchange, in answer to an inquiry whether
President Hatch had resigned, stated that
no official notice had been given, but that
the governing committee will meet when
action is expected. A visit to var
ious banks in Wall street found matters
progressing in usual routine. At the
Metropolitan bank. business is going on
as before the temporary suspension.
Bank Examiner Serbia reported the comp
troller of currency of that institution 'sDo-
ing nicely, the rest of the banks running
as usual. Affairs seem again settling
down to their normal condition. Bust
ness matters at the Produce Exchange are
rather gloomy looking, although no
failures or rumors of failures are current.
Trade is not disposed to operate to any
material extent. Shippers operations are
checked by extreme difficulty and selling
at sterling exchange, Prices all lower
and tending downward. The leading
members are quite hopeful hat there has
been no panic on the Produce Exchange,
but some members were discouraged at
the outlook of financial affairs in Wall
street. At the Petroleum Exchange this
morning the prices broke al 81 cents, or
Il cents at the close yesterday down
to 6 cents. There was some excitement,
but prices afterwards recovered about 4
cents standing, No failures reported.

NV YORK, May l6.-The sub-trcas-
