Bankers Report Healthy Condition of the
Cash Market.


Cash Market.
Checking showed q considerable shortage
yesterday, as compared with the best days of
the month, but was heavy enough to show that
general trade keeps up remarkably well in the
face of adverse influences. These. however,
there is reason to believe, have spent their
force and opened the way for prompt improve
ment in the financial situation. The extinguish-
ment of false values in railroad securities will
surely have good effect on all the business
interests of the country.
A search for new features at several of the
leading banks yesterday failed to find any.
Everything was moving along satisfactorily.
The supply of funds was adequate to business
requirements. Regular borrowers obtained all
the accommodation sought; but there was con-
siderable discrimination against outsiders. but
even some of these made the rifle. Rates ruled
steady on the usual 6@7 per cent basis. Ex-
changes were s2672,6S7 81 and balances $685.

BARCELONA, May 2.-The strikers con-
Quoted themselves in riotous manner
throughout the day. They impeded all
kinds of business, stopping market
carts and scattering and tramping
upon their contents. The royal
guard was continually engaged in
attempting to disperse the rioters, but
failed to quell them. Finally state of
siege was declared. Late tonight the
strikers fired hut. The guard charged
the mob and two strikers were injured.
Another group attacked a printing Office
in which proclamation was being
printed. They put stop to the work,
and the authorities were obliged to get
their proclamations printed elsewhere
under military protection.
MADRID, March AT Valencia many
of the masters have conceded the de-
mands of the workmen, but the strikers
have prevented the men from resuming
work. The railway guards, porters and
dockmen became riotous, but were sup
pressed by the cavalry. Troops are now
guarding the threatened factories and
other establishments. Similar disturb
ances occurred at Saragossa and Ali

COIN OF THE REALM.
SECRETARY WINDOW AGAIN AP.
PEARS IN PRINT.
He Tries to Show that the Administra-
tion Does not Favor Contraction of the
Currency, but the Reverse.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Secretary Win
dom has written letter in reply to an
article in financial newspaper on the
subject OF currency, in which he refutes
the assertion that the administration
favors contraction of the currency. He
gives figures in regard to the circulation
and treasury holdings May Isl, ,and makes
a comparison with the estimated circula-
ton of the principal countries of Europe.
According to these figures, and estimat-
ing the population of the United States
at 81, 900 900, the amount of metallic and
paper money in the United States, not
including any portion of the amount
held by the treasury, is $22.36 per cap
lta, or more than in any of the leading
countries in Europe, with the exception
of France, in which the circulation is es-
timated at $57 .36 per capita.
In regard to the money supposed to be
boarded in the United States Treasury,
the Secretary says: 'Aside from the
fund deposited in the treasury by ma
tional banks, for the redemption Of
notes, and balances on deposit by the
disbursing officers, the only reserve
which is kept by the treasury is $780,
100000 in gold for the redemption of
legal tender notes. The so-called
surplus which is in excess of receipts
over expenditures, can be used under
the present law only in the redemption
of the bonded debt of the United States,
which is being done as rapidly as the
bonds can be iudiciously purchased.
The surplus on the 1st instant, exclusive
Of fractional silver coin, amounted to
only $35, 1916, 1928, of which $31 GAS, 1893
was on deposit in national banks, per-
forming the duty of a circulating medium.
1t is the policy and purpose Of the de-
partment to withdraw large portion of
this deposit and invest it in United
States bonds as rapidly as it can be done
without danger OF decreasing the actual
circulation
The Secretary closes IT have already
recommended in my annual report an
increase of the currency amounting to
about $50 200, 900 per annum. 1t should
be evident, therefore, that this letter is
not intended to express any opinion as
to the suficiency of our currency, but
only to correct certain statements as to
its Ouantity %

ALBANY, N. Y, May Ex-Governor Hill
today approved the Ballot Reform bill.
In the message accompanying it he says
in part: II have steadily opposed every
effort to impose unnecessary restrictions
and impracticable regulations ON the
election system which are not adapted
to our free institutions, or which would
render our elections enormously extern
sive and vexatious. 1t is to be regretted,
however, that such endeavors have only
been partly successful. In the interest
OF honorable compromise of divers
opinions, and with sincere desire to
agree upon bill which should
accomplish something toward the purii-
cation of our elections, even though it
shall not be wholly satisfactory, I have
felt constrained to yield my views as to
several provisions, which / still deem
imperfect. l am not disposed, however,
to haggle about mere words or useless
technicalities. During all the contro-
versy of the past three years, l have in
variably insisted upon the right of an
elector to prepare his own ballot at home
and bring it with him to the polls and
vote it, and so long as this bill does not
materially infringe upon that right, l

Answering for Bribery.

SAN Francisco, May 2.-Attorney Gas
ton Spraus and Wong Kan appeared in
the Police Court this afternoon or ex-
animation on the charge of giving a
bribe to Court Stenographer Howard
Vernon to change the court records SO
as to secure dismissal for Chinese
gambler. Vernon testified that Spraus
had offered him bribe, and that acting
under the advice of the prosecuting at
torney he had gone to Wong Kan and
been given $3.50. The defendants coun-
sci said he would produce no testimony,
and intimated that his line of argument
would be that the actions of Spraus and
the Chinaman did not constitute an
offense. The court will set a day for
argument Monday.

THE CLAYTON MYSTERY.
The Murdered Mans Brother Tells His
Impressions.

LITTLE Rock, May 2.-Before the Clay
ton-Breckinridge committee today, Col.
w. H. HI. Clayton told about his going
to Plummerville the day after he heard
of his brothers death. He said no one
in Plummerville offered him any SYM
pathy or any assistance. The houses
were closed; no one was on the street,
and everybody avoided him. He thought
the conspiracy to murder his brother was
concocted in Morrillton, and that it was
known to at least twenty-five men in the
county that it was to occur. He believed
his brother was killed by Oliver Bentley
and Bob Pate. He was firmly convinced
that the persons who stole the ballot box
killed his brother. He did not charge
the Democratic party with being respon-
sible. He believed the Governor had
done his duty in his efforts to apprehend
the assassin, but thought he had been
led off on the wrong track.

McCALLA'S DEFENSE.
He Assumes Responsibility for All Acts
Aboard the Enterprise.

New YORK, May 2.-In the McCalla
court-martial today, Commander Nc
Gala commenced his testimony by say
ing he desired to assume all RESPONSE
bility for all acts on board the Enter
prise during the cruise, whether he was
present or not. The crew was an
average one, 66 per cent. being aliens.
Witness gave an outline of the cruise.
At many points the facilities for de-
sertion were excellent. Witness as
sumed all responsibility in the tying of
Fitzgerald to the Jacobs ladder, and
the punishment inflicted on Walker
and Henning. Witness said the ironing
OF the men at Rouen was absolutely
necessary. The claiming of the men
here and at Villafranche was for safe
keeping, not for punishment. McCalla
then repeated the story of how, when
the ship was at Antwerp, he had come
on deck and found it deserted, and the
subsequent suspension of the officers OF
the deck and the men on watch.
