ANGRY DEPOSITORS.
The Status OF the New York Banks To.
day and Prospect of Resumption.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-As early as 10 O'Clock
there were at least two hundred angry depos-
itors OF the Lenox Hill bank around that
structure. The fact that the statement Of the
bank examiner was not forthcoming as prom
ised caused additional discomfort. Many of the
depositors formed themselves into groups and
harangued each other on the situation. The
all-around inclination seemed to be that the
depositors must act.
In short time three distinct factions called
as many special meetings, but after awhile it
was thought better to hold but one meeting,
which Is now In session. The depositors today
are not at all good humored as they have
been on preceding days and hopes have now
descended to despair. Broker Pell left Lud-
low street jail at 10 o'clock for the United States
building to await the result of the hunt of his
friends for bail or a motion to have 1t reduced.
Up to 1890 the state of things around the
Sixth National and Equitable was practically
the same during the past few days.
Conrad N. Jordan, president of the Western
National bank. is authority for the statement
that the Equitable will resume business today.
1t is expected, he says, that the Lenox Hill
bank will resume in a few days

A Phenomenal Newspaper Showing.

From the Cumberland Md Times.
1t is not often that the Tunes makes editorial
comment upon the progress and retrogression
Of its contemporaries, but the showing just
made by The EVENING STAR of Washington
calls for special commentator and congratu-
lation, which is heartily extended. The STAR
gives a tabulated sworn statement Of its circu-
lation from 20, 465 in January, 1885, to 81 65s ON
January /, 1890. OF this remarkable average
aggregate of $1,000 copies circulated daily no
more than IT, O2 copies are sent out of the city
by mail, and LOG go to suburban places by
express, railway trains. &C., leaving as a net
circulation in the city proper the phenomenal
proportion of 1928 per cent, or an aggregate Of
27,oS2 copies. The Improvement in typogra-
ply. editorial and reportorial departments has
kept fully abreast the increase of circulation,
and The STAR of today is paper well calcu-
lated to fill the heart OF Its veteran editor with
pride and satisfaction.

From Wall Street Today,

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Except for about half
dozen stocks the market was quite dull this
morning, notwithstanding that Reading, Lacka-
wanna and Pacific Mail did an active business
The leading stocks were strong, but the general
list was without feature of any kind. and the
trading failed to show anything of special in
terest outside of the few leaders. The opening
was firm to strong at advances over last Satur-
days figure of from Is to q generally. and a
firm tone prevailed, which caused slight further
improvement in most OF the list. Pacific Mail
was the strong feature, however, some large
purchases attracting considerable attention.
and it quickly rose per cent to Al. Lacka-
wanna rose q. but the rest of the list were ad-
vanced small fractions only. The Chicago and
East Illinois stocks continued their remarkable
decline and the common, after opening up Il at
800 retired 354 to 26]9, and the preferred,af
opening down 2 per cent at IS, dropped to H.
The general list lost its firm tone toward IL
o'clock and Pacific Mail went back to its open
ing figure, while a majority of the list shaded
off to something below the opening. At IL
o'clock the market was fairly active and heavy

Some Matters Which Were Under Con-
sideration Today.

OPPOSING Ex-Gov. wARMoTHs CONFIRMATION.
The Senate committee on commerce to-
day further heard the objections to the
confirmation of the nomination of ex-
Gov. Warmoth to be collector of the
port of New Orleans. The opposition
was represented by Representative Coleman of
Louisiana, Judge Morris Marks, State
Senators Demass, Cage and simms
and Mr.. Burgeois. Ex-Gov. Warmoth
was present accompanied by his
friend, Maj. Eaton. At the close Of the argu-
ments and responses thereto on behalf of ex-
Gov. Warmoth the committee took the mat
ter under consideration, deciding to hear no
more statements.
BOAT FOR ALASKA OFFICIALS.
A bill, approved by the Senate committee on
territories today, provides for the construction
of vessel to be used by the government Off
GERS of Alaska for the purpose of Transporting
them from place to place in the territory.
MORE TARIFF TALK.
The ways and means committee today gave a
hearing to Mr.. Scanlon of New York. who
wanted duty of 2 cents per pound imposed on
macaroni imported into this country, and to Mr..
Undermeyer Of Dakota, who spoke in favor of
the imposition of a duty on tin ore. He repre-
sented the Harvey Peake tin mining company
of Dakota. Senator Moody of South Dakota
said that the mines already had several thou
sand tons OF tin ore on the dumps;
that large quantity had been taken
to England, and after being crushed it had
been shown to be superior to the Cornish ore,
and the result had been that English capital
lists had taken one-seventh of the stock of the
company and paid million and half dollars
for it.
ELECTED DELEGATE TO TWO BODIES.
Representative Gambler of Massachusetts,. the
chairman of the House worlds fair commit
tee, has been elected delegate by
the Commercial club Of Boston to
represent it at the meeting of the executive
council of the national board of trade. He has
also been elected a delegate to the annual con-
vention of the American shipping league. Both
of these organizations will hold their conven-
tons in Washington during the present week.

THE WORLDS FAIR BILL.
The Chances of Getting 1t Through the
House Thought to be Precarious.

A meeting of the House committee on the
worlds fair was held this morning 1t was
intended to finish the worlds fair bill, ten Sec
tons of which had been completed at previous
meetings. The members of the committee,
however, were slow in getting together and
some Of them had pressing engagements that
called them to other committees. so that
it was difficult to get the men,
bers all together at one time. The
meeting, therefore, assumed merely an in
formal character, and discussion relating
mostly to the chances of the bill getting through
the House, while that body is proceeding with
out rules, was INDUCED In at some length. 1t
is understood that the opinion was expressed
bill getting through while the House was in Its
present condition. No attempt was made to
discuss the uncompleted sections of the bill
and this work was left for a future meeting.

BRIDGET SWEENEY ESCAPED.
A Family Servant Tells Who Were In
the House.

Bridget Sweeney, an old Irish woman who
has been living in the Secretary's family for
twelve years, left the house few minutes be-
fore the fire was discovered to 20 to st. Mat
thew's church. Just as she was entering the
church she heard the fire bells.
my God, that's our house!' she exclaimed,
and leaving the church she returned only to
discover that her fears were well founded. The
blaze was coming from the windows. and al
though she was aware of the danger she at
tempted to get to the house, but was prevented
by the firemen. 1t was about $40 o'clock when
Bridget left the house. When she left she said
there was no sign of fire in the house. She did
not smell any smoke.
She said that when she went to church she
left the following persons in the house:
Secretary Tracy and wife.
Mrs. Wilmerding (the Secretary's daughter)
and child.
Miss Tracy.
James Walsh, the butler.
Two hired men, one from Washington, DEL,
and the other Frenchman.
Josephine, the French maid.
Mary, the cook.
Bridget visited the undertaking establish
ment of Mr.. Gawler and viewed the bodies.
The grief-stricken woman was so excited that
she could not tell much about the family.

THE STRICKEN SECRETARY.
He Was Informed Of His Terrible
Bereavement by the President.

Secretary Tracy, PROSTATE and helpless in .
bed in the home Of Mr.. J. Bancroft Davis, knows
all Of the affection which fell upon him this
morning and which wrecked his household.
From the time when he was removed
from Mr.. Rheem's house until the hour Of noon
nothing in the way Of information was
vouchsafed the stricken Cabinet officer. With
him were the President, Private Secretary Hal
ford, Secretary Tracy's secretary, Mr.. Ray
mond, and the attending physicians-Messrs.
Magruder. Richards, Wales and Ruth. As Sec
rectary Tracy's mind became clear he
demanded to be told the full extent
of the catastrophe and especially was he anxious
as to the condition of other members OF his
family. For a time the questions were parried,
but the time came when the sick man would
no longer allow himself to be kept in the dark.
Told by the President.
Upon the President was placed the painful
|a1uty of breaking to his friend the saddest Of
news, and very nicely, with a depth Of sympa-
thy almost unsupported heretofore, did the
Chief Executive tell the Secretary
that his wife was no more. Only
slight moan came from the Secretary
when the calamity was made known to him.
Very eager was he to hear ali tie particulars OF
the fire, and, to limited extent, his curiosity
was gratifed.
No witness ever underwent O more rigid
cross examination than did the President and
it was with difficulty that many of the ques-
tions were answered. Frequently the Presi-
dents emotion was too much for him. AT
last the additionally dreadful news-the an
nouncement Of Miss Mary's death-was also
given Mr.. Tracy
The Secretary's Fortitude.
He exhibited wonderful fortitude although
his anguish is evident 1t was o'clock when
the President left the Secretarys bedside, and
it is no exag3eration to state that the Chief
Magistrate had aged ten years in his appear
ance.
His tender solicitude in not only this matter
but also in connection with the recent bereave.
ments in Secretary Blaine's family has left its
visible impression on him.
The Secretary's Condition.
Ex-Surg. Gen. Wales, who has been with
Secretary Tracy all the morning, said this after
noon that the Secretary was doing much bet.
ter than anyone expected him to do.
His pulse was strong and regular and
his mental condition clear. The only probable
after trouble may come with an attack of bron-
chitis, caused by the quantity of smoke the
Secretary inhaled.
The present arrangements for the funeral,
necessarily crude as yet. will result in the
bodies of Mrs. and Miss Tracy being brought
to the White House. They will be
placed in the east room, and in that spacious
and historical apartment the funeral services
will be held.
The President has requested Secretary
Tracy's physicians to move their patient
over TO the executive mansion as soon as
it can safely be done. The Secretary has
assented to the proposition. and he will be re-
moved at the earliest possible moment.
PARALYZED BY FEAR.

How Mrs. Wilmerding and Her Daugh-
ter Leaped for Life.

John A. Gray, jr., young colored man who
lives at 1902 street northwest, was on his way
to market about o'clock, when he first noticed
the fire. He said to STAR reporter:
1T was about 7:l0 when I saw flames leaping
from the parIor floor Of the house. When 1
got there noticed two ladies on the point of
jumping from the second-story window. 1t
seemed as though the iremen were unable to
get the ladder up in time. They helped out
Mrs. Wilmerding first and then her daughter.
Mrs. Wilmerding struck on her side on the wet
grass and her daughter hit the end of the
ladder and this broke her fall. They were in
their night clothes and pulled off my coat
and wrapped it around the elder lady. They
were unable to walk, and I. with the assistance
of cOlOred man, a messenger in the de-
partment, who was standing by, carried the two
ladies to the house of DIR. Baxter on Connecti-
cut avenue. They were in apitiable condition.
They might have waited until the ladder was
raised, but they seemed paralyzed with fear and
hardly seemed to hear the cries of warning
from the people assembled below. consider
that they were remarkably fortunate in that
their jump had such favorable result. Had
they struck the pavement instead Of the soft
earth they must have been instantly crushed"
