MONEY panics spring from two
causes-an actual scar city OF money,
and an apprehension that scarcity is
impending, which operates for the
moment precisely in the same way as
an actual scarcity. When currency is
drawn out OF the banks to be placed
in the sub-treasury. or to be shipped
to the country for the movement OF
crops, the instinct of self-preservation
impels each bank to strengthen itself
by calling in it's loans, and borrowers
are compelled to seek accommodation

President Adams Reiterates Previous
Statements.

Boston, Nov. 10.-Reports from the
west published here, controverting
President Adams recent statement as
to the result Of the boycott against the
by reporter. He said:
1.-The statement made to you the
other day concerning the loss OF traffic
to the Union Pacific was absolutely
correct but have no desire to discuss
the matter any further. This state
ment, purporting to come from certain
railroad men in the west-who they
nrc do not know-give figures in re-
lation to this question that are widely
ut variance with my own. / am not
disposed to enter into controversy of
this character. The implication is that
l am classifying or am ignorant. 1t is
noticeable that none OF these people
come out over their signature and
make these assertions. What i said
the other day was right and lis now.
The Union Pacific is now crushed
with traffic it can not properly handle.
All aware tllub WIFI our nedNy DuSl-
ness our earnings are not showing sat
isfactorily. The trouble Is we are short
of motive power. We have only been
able to get twenty-one of one hundred
and thirty engines which were ordered
last May. If we had the necessary
equipment our earnings in October
would have been fully 81, 900, 900 larger
than they will show. l have nothing
different to say concerning the COM
panys floating debt from what / said
the other day. The company is not in
the market as n borrower OF money,
and it has no obligations Of any i'm.
portance maturing in the immediate
future. All talk to the contrary is rot
emanating from Wall street. No new
bond issue is contemplated and none
has been, excepting only that in con.
nection with the Oregon Navigation
purchase, which is well understood
The report of pending charge in the
management is only to be expected ii
connection with tho other assaults
upon the road and it has no more truth
in 1t than all the other yarns.

To the People OF the State of Ne

Now, therefore, l. John M. Thayer,

the people Of this commonwealth will
on that day cease from their usual av-
ocations and, gathering in the sane
tuaries, offer up devout thanks and
songs of praise, and invoke the con-
tinuance of His blessings.
Let me most earnestly entreat all on
that day. especially to remember the
poor and needy, and to give to them of
their abundance, and thus make their
hearts glad, remembering that it is
more blessed to give than to receive.
In testimony whereof | have here

The amount of bad gin and ru m
which Germany is sending to Africa is
appalling. In some ships 100. 900
cases OF gin are sent out and used in
barter for hundreds OF valuable arti-
cles. 1t may be said that every case
OF gin costs a negro his life. The
merchants who get rich at this trade
cannot have very high respect for
themselves and their injurious COM
merce ought to be checked.

Union Pacifc-Northwc Alliance.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 11.-President
Adams, of the Union Pacific, says:
There is no foundation for any re-
port of the Union Pacific Northwestern
alliance being broken-at least while
! am president. The Union Pacific,
he says has no floating debt to cause
it any trouble. The construction OF
the Portland & Puget Sound railroad
has been provided for independently
by the Union Pacific, and an announce
ment concerning this will be made
soon. The Union Pacific, Denver &
Gulf has no floating debt except a
minor matter of some old coupons for
which its bonds will be issued to the
Union Pacific company.

4 Necessary Change.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE death
of General David b. McKibben will be
likely to cause congress to change the
army regulations promptly this winter.
1t seems that the friends of General
Mckibben who had served for more
than twenty years in the regular army
before he was retired, fifteen years ago,
desired that he should be buried with
military honors, but the commanding
general decides that he can find neither
law nor regulation authorizing him to
order the necessary detail. Attention
is called to the fact that if this is good
law General Sherman will have to be
buried with military escort. Conse-
quently movement is to be made at
once to induce congress to make the
necessary change in the law.

Free Coinage Coming.

WASHINGTON, Nov. LIT is the
prevailing opinion among politicians
here that the next congress will pass
u law authorizing free Fad unlimited
silver coinage. In other words they
will place silver upon an equality with
gold. The senate already has me-,
jority in favor of such a proposition
and would have passed it last year ii
it could have secured the concurrence
OF the house. In the next congress-
there will be no doubt about it.

WILL BE ELECTROCUTED,
Reminders Application Denied by the Su
preme Court Of tho United Statos.

Reminders Application Denied by the SUI
preme Court Of the United Statos.
WARRINGTON, May 23.-The supreme court
has denied the application for writ of err
ror in the case Of Kemmler, under sentence
of death by electricity. The opinion is by
Chief Justice Fuller. The court held that
the change in tho form Of death was within
the legitimate sphere of the Legislative pow
or of the state. The legislature Of the state of
New York had determined that 1t did not
inflict cruel and unusual punishment and
its courts had sustained that determination.
This court cannot see that the prisoner has
been deprived Of due process of law. In
order to reverse the Judgment this court
should be compelled to hold that the court
of appeals had committed an error so gross
as to deprive the prisoner Of his constitu-
tional rights. The court has no hesitation
in saying that it cannot do this.
The case will next come up before United
States Circuit Judge Wallace, who made
the order to operate as stay until the SUI
preme court could pass upon the questions
involved. This order was issued with the
understanding that counsel would imme-
diately apply to the supreme court for a
writ of habeas corpus. Their application
for such writ has been thrown out, but thew
were allowed a hearing in application for a
writ of error, and it was this application
which was denied. Il is, therefore. sun
posed that Judge Wallace, when the order
becomes returnable in June will vacate it,
that being practically the understanding
upon which the order was made.
