THE WALL STREET FURRY.
Nothing the Treasury Can Do to Inn

Nothing the Treasury Can DO to Inn
prove the Situation.
There appears to De nothing for the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury to do to relieve the money
market, and dispatches received this morning
indicate that the situation is already improv-
ing in Wall street.
The furry on the street is evidently caused
by the conditions over the water and it Is ont of
the reach Of the Treasury Department. Secre-
tary Window has done more than any Secre-
tary before him has ever done TO preserve the
equilibrium Of the money market, and there 10
now nothing more that he can do. Since July
LIST S9S, 900, 900 have been put out by the pur-
chase Of bonds, payment of interest, &c. This
is more than has ever before been put out in
the same length Of time, and ought to be
enough to prevent actual disaster.
THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT "NoT IN IT"
As far as the present situation is concerned,
the Treasury Department is mot in it," to use
slang expression. There is now but SO, 400, 900
available cash in the Treasury. No secretary
would think Of reducing the amount below this,
leaving nothing in the Treasury to meet ordi-
nary and contingent expenses.
Therefore. the department is not in position
to come to the relief Of Wall street. The
60 00, 900 surplus does not include subsidiary
coin.

LIQUOR LICENSES.
Commissioner Douglass Examines q

Commissioner Douglass Examines a
Number Today-New Point as to Hotels.
The liquor license war has opened. 1t lacked
just few minutes of 8 o'clock this morning
when Commissioner Douglass called
for the file boxes containing the lq-
ucr applications in Lieutenant Amiss'
precinct They numbered 100 retail and Sc
wholesale, with Is retail yet to come In. Mr.
Douglass took the cases up in the order of
stopped. His action is placed on the
flo wrapper, but only the initiated
con decipher its meaning. for he
uses hieroglyphics except In case Of rejec-
tion when he writes the word reject" Inside
Of the file wrapper are the papers in the case,
and where he rejects on the report of the lieu
tenant a blue mark is made opposite the OBJ
lection, SO that his colleagues can zee
at glance the reason for his action num-
Der of applications received black eve this
morning in the shape OF Mr.. Douglass rejection.
but then his action is not final, as the other
two Commissioners can override him.
FURTHER CONSULTATION IN SOME cAsrs.
A large number of the applications acted upon
this morning received a large interrogation
to be consulted before Mr.. Douglass passes
upon the case. This class Of cases,
for the most part, embraced the
applications in tine new post Office square,
Lieut. Amlss reports against the licenses in
this square on account of the new post Office
building shortly to be erected Mr. Douglass
has not yet decided what rule he will follow
regarding the limitation of licenses issued. IL
he adheres to his four-in-s-block rule he will
not insist upon the 400 rule. The chances are
that he will approve 400 licenses and then STOP
A NEW POINT Has BEEN RAISED
regarding hotel. In the majority of instances
the hotels Of the city are situated on corners
In all other cases where bar room is situated
on a corner the applicant is obliged to get the
signatures Of the residents and property own
ers on both Of the streets on which his place
fronts. Hotels, however, although oc-
cupying corners and having entrances
on both streets were heretofore required to
obtain the signatures only upon the street on
which their main entrance was located. This
year Lieut.. Amiss thinks they should be re-
quired to obtain the signatures Of both abut-
ting streets.
ALL HOTEL CAsEs HELD Up.
Commissioner Douglass il undecided what TO
do and has held up all hotel cases for board
discussion. As stated heretofore in The STAR
no new licenses will be issued. Each applica-
ton bears on its file wrapper the
words ''old'' or ''new," as the case
may be, and the latter are invariably
thrown aside. The money will be returned in
these cases. Lieut. Amiss' precinct was COM
pleted today as far ns Mr.. Douglass is con-
cerned Commissioner Ross will take up the
papers when he returns tomorrow and then
The STAR will publish . list of those allowed
and disallowed.

tween Attorneys Peyton and Moss.
Yesterday case was heard in the Police Court
and Lawyers Moss and Peyton, both colored, had
some words about the fee in the case and to-
day Lawyer Peyton filed with Judge Miller the
following affidavit: THAT on the 10th day of
November, in the year 1890, he, the said Foun-
tain Peyton, was employed by Churchill Rey-
against the charge of vsgrancy brought by the
District of Columbia; that in case the said
Julia Bells were released then the said
Churchill Reynolds was to pay him (Peyton)
the sum Of o.; that he CPevton) defended Julia
Bells on the trial of the above-named charge,
and was using his best endeavors to
have the court take her personal bonds
when one John A Moss q member Of the bar
Of the District Of Columbia, who knew that
(Peyton) had been employed in said case and
was still exerting his best efforts TO perform
his part Of the contract approached the said
Churchill Reynolds and said that the said
Fountain Peyton was no good but that IL he
(Reynolds) would give him (doss) the Is that
he (Moss) would have Julia Bells released;
that the court released the said Julia Bells at
the request Of said Fountain Peyton before the
said John A. Moss called attention TO the case;

''The great northwest 10 going 10 have some
thing to say about the next republican presi-

lican to q STAR reporter today. Heretofore
the northwest has been little more than An

have about made mp our minds ~ to who We
want and IL strikes me that the majority Of west
ern republicans will be enthusiastically in favor
Of Blaine and Pettigrew. Pettigrew
good man and worthy every honor
that can be heaped on him. He
Is one Of the few republicans in Congress
who looks out for the interests Of his constitu-
ents before he begins to think Of himself He
does what they want and does it we'll He was
all right on this tariff fight and he will con-
tinue to be all right SO long a. he il
IN Congress. Pettigrew can afford to run ON
the presidential ticket; he has lots of money.
remarkable feature in his career is the
never failing success that attends his every
movement. He is q thorough representative
OF the live northwest, man Of marked ability
and clean hands. and il he is q candidate will
draw every republican who loves a good man
right up to him. I'm for Blaine and Pettigrew."

Ways and Means Of Preserving the Busi-
ness Discussed.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE Ticket Brokers' As
ISOLATION (scalpers) is holding secret confer
ence in this city to take measures to counterfeit
Chairman Finleys attempt to prevent ticket
scalping. The scalpers seem to rely
greatly upon the assistance they
expected to receive from the
general passenger agents of some Of the roads.
who have stood by them thus far. Some Of
the scalpers have lately threatened to make Sc
rious trouble for some Of those passenger Off
cials If they do not aid them in crushing Mr.
Finley.
1t is doubtful. however whether the scalpers
will get much aid from the passenger officials,
as the latterjcan no longer do rs they please, it
being the determination OF the managers to
back up Mr.. Finley. 1t is understood that
nearly all the tickets that were in scalpers'
hands at Kansas City have been Withdrawn.

THE PASTOR WAS INDIsCREET.
Rev. Dr.. Williams Of Chicago Disci-
plined by the Presbytery.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Nov. 1.-THE Chicago pres
bytery has found the Rev. II. 8. Williams, pas
tor OF the First Presbyterian Church of Engle-
wood, guilty Of every charge brought against
him. All of yesterday and far into the night
the trial lasted and before the close the men,
bers were tangled up in q parliamentary
wrangle.
For almost year this long-drawn-out case
has been before the people. The trouble
the pastor and the corporate body on one side
and the elders on the other. The elders
claimed that they and the presbytery should
control the church and its property. while
those indorsing Mr.. Williams claimed that the
church, SO far as its control went, was
q legal entity entirely separate from
ecclesiastical jurisdiction. On this last ground,
the differences having grown notorious,
the matter was carried into the civil courts and
before its settlement in the sustainment of the
elders injunction had been reached was also
brought before the presbytery. In both con-
tests the elders have been victorious. No
question as to the pastors moral character has
ever been limited at in either case. but both
friends and foes have acknowledged that his
actions in antagonizing the elders were inju-
dicious
After the presbytero had voted the pastor
guilty last evening a committee reported q YER
dict, which recommended that Mr.. Williams be
severely and publicly reprimanded and that his
pastOrate be taken from him. This caused the
Rev. DIR. Withrow to make an eloquent plea for
the accused.
A lively two hours debate ensued. Motions
were numerous. What was finally adopted was
mild amendment to the first part of the COM
mittees report, authorizing the moderator to
publicly admonish the Rev. MIR. Williams that
while he had had serious provocation, yet he
had been guilty of continued indiscretion in
the management Of his church. This was
passed, with the understanding that something
would follow in reference to the pastors future
relation to his church.
But at this point DIR. Mcpherson moved that
the resolution already adopted be proclaimed
as the final judgment Of the presbytery in the
case. This precipitated another lengthy dis
cussion. many claiming that their previous
vote for mild part of the sentence had been
obtained under false pretenses. Finally about
midnight the presbytery adjourned. The
counter trial of the elders comes up next Mon
day, and If Mr.. Williams has not resigned BY
that time it is asserted that he will then be
asked to do so.

Inc Commissioners Gathering 1nforma-
ton About Systems On Other Cities.
The District Commissioners have already
given some consideration 10 the matter Of i'm
cressing the funds available for street inn
prorements by means OF system OF special
assessments. The subject was preached q, the
meeting Of the board Of trade last night by
Mr. Geo. Truesdell. who urged q system by
which portion Of the cost Of street improve
ments should be assessed against abutting
property.
Mr. Douglas, president OF the board OF CON-
missioners has written recently 10 the authori-
ties OF various cities for the purpose OF inform
ing himself upon the systems in force. II il
probable that the matter will be discussed in
sioners.
Mr.. Douglass. speaking 10 a Sr,R reporter
today, said that the city was growing so fast
ana there was so much need OF street improve
ments that the question of increasing the
revenue was n serious one
, ne hought an important thing was 20 secure
the permanent board of assessors through
whose lnbors he believed the receipts of the
Instruct would probably be increased by half a
inlIllon dollars a year without hurting sny one

against any proposal 10 assess a portion of the
cost OF improvements against abutting prop-
ei'f- hesluents OF improved districts would
complain that the system was not adopted nm
I'll the Older and well-improved sections had
got their improvements out of the general fund
sun. he thought II necessary 20 consider some
plan for increasing the fund available for street
paving. The usual proportion. he said was 10
charge one-thlrd OF the cost against property
This would Increase the available funds SslS
per cent This. Mr.. Douglass said. would
not amount to great deal Co the
properly owners On lot 20 feet
front for street pavement the cost would he
only about so. He thought that in case such
system were adopted II would be well 90 have
property owners on streets who petitioned for
improvements TO put up their money first before
the District and the United States contributed
their two-thirds.
In this way litigation and trouble over collco-
tons would he avoided These. however were
details which Congress could consider NJ IL we're
deemed advisable to adopt such a system.
Mr.. Douglass, speaking OF the demands upon
the District revenues said there would prob
ably De worse cramp next year. when the Dis
trlct would have TO pay its first installment on

HIS LOVEMAKING A TEST,
Is Curtis, Alias Sykes, the Alleged BIZ
cycle Thief, a Lunatic.

cycIe lnlcI, LunHtlc.
In the case of Leno b. Curtis, alias Nathan
lei Sykes on the assignment for trial in the
Criminal Court today. Gen. Darlington asked a
pOstponement. Curtis il under two indict-
ments, each for the larceny of bicycles; one from
NJ. Softey September Is and the other from John
I. Parsons September 20 last. 1t will be re-
membered that at the aforementioned date he
rode the machine to Baltimore, making the
run in a little over three hours. Gen. Caring
ton said that DR.. Stock Of st. Elizabeth had
commenced an investigation as to the condi-
ton OF the mans mind and besides there was
an important witness as to his sanity.
Mr.. Clagett suggested that If what they ex-
pected to prove was stated he would per-
haps admit it.
Gen. Darlington said that the witness was
lady residing in Norfolk, on whom the prisoner
called and made love under such circum-
STANCES as to satisfy her that he was crazy.
The case was passed for a short time, when
Gen. Darlington said that he had been in
formed that the lady was not here, for after the
arrest of the prisoner she was SO affected that
she has been placed in the insane asylum in
Williamsburg, Va.
The case as 70 Mr.. Parsons bicycle was then
placed on trial
1t was testified that Mr.. Parsons lost the ma
chine and it was ridden to Baltimore, where
defendant offered it for sale to A. L. Kline,
who suspected it was stolen and Sergt. Berger
and Officer Hardesty arrested the defendant
and turned him over to Detective Carter, who
brought him to the city.
DIR. Morris J. Stack Of st. Elizabeth Hospital
was called for the defense to testify as to the
mental condition of the prisoner. He stated
that he had visited the prisoner in
the Jail and found no active
symptoms of q diseased mind and no got the
impression that his nervousness was the result
OF drink.
In consequence Of one Of the jurors becom-
ing sick the court adjourned.
