about 81 800, 900 greater than the sum reported
for the average of the week. The loans were

The stringency Of the money market and
the difficulty Of making collections Is
given as the cause of the failure. The
Manhattan bank was one of the oldest
in the state. and Purcell was credited
with being among the strongest men
financially in Kansas.

The Chicago strikers.

CHICAGO, April s.-The situation in con-
nection with the carpenters strike was
quiet to-day. A small number of nom
union men from surrounding towns went
to work i'm the morning. but committees
of the strikers soon induced them To quit.
The struggle now seems narrowed down
To a recognition of the union carpenters
demand for 40 cents per hour, eight hours
for day, and yearly settlement upon a
scale of wages by conference. Bosses
are willing To concedc the eight hours de-
manded and pay 37H cents, which the
men would accept as a compromise, bnt
absolutely refuse To recognize the union.
Ii is believed there will be no change i'm
the situation before Thursday when the
builders hold their regular weekly meet
ing.
There was hitch this morning i'm the
negotiations in the plumbers strike, as
the juniors objected 10 reduction of
their demand for wages. The arbitration
committee finally settled the matter this
afternoon. The agreement is to run two
years from February LIST last. Journey
men are To receive S,.G0 per day Gnstead
of S3.15 for which they struck and the
juniors TO get % cents per day increase.
The men are well satisfied and work will
be resumed tomorrow.

BRAzIL'S CONSTITUTION

RIO JASERIo, April s.-The provisional
government having decrced all the great
popular measures so long demanded by
the people, such as the abolition OF slavery
,forcSi from the imperial government in
1888, teparation of the church from the
state, freedom of the press, liberty of worS
ship, sccularization OF public cemeteries,
naturalization of Foreigners, etc, is now
trying TO avoid the danger and inconvcni-
ence that attended the adoption of the
American constitution. Men now at the
head Of affairs desire To begin whore the
United States finished and so take advan-
tage of American experience. For
this reason they have nominated n
number of well known specialists To

The work of registering voters lall men of

A DUEL is PROBABLE

Congressman Phelan Challenges
Editor Fleming OF the Knoxville
"Sentinel" to a Mortal Com
bat to Settle a Dispute.

WASHINGTON, April sit is probable
that a duel will he fought between Con-
grcssman Phelan Of Memphis, Tenn,
and John NJ. Fleming, editor Of the Knox
vile, Tenn, sentinel. Ii seems that in
replying to some criticisms Of Fleming
on Phelan's school history, the congress-
man said the criticisms were due to pique
because Fleming had not been given an
advance copy. This Fleming denied and
Phelan wrote an apology to Fleming's
paper and also to the Memphis CONNER
cidt, I'm which paper lie had made the
same charge. Fleming refused to accept
the apology and in letter to the
Commercial intimated that Phelan had
practiced deception from the first. Phelan
did not see this letter until his return from
South Carolina on the 9Th when lac sent
the following message:
John VI. Fleming.

ian's telegram published in this after

message, pray. do you expect from me :?
Did you imagine that such an ebullitiou
| Of puerile rage could seriously disturb me,
or did you intend IL for a challenge to
hostile combat, or had you the superlative
vanity 10 suppose | would feel called
on to challenge you? Let me assure
you your cpithcts affect me not in
the way designed ordinarily. II would

cited your wrath, simply and incontesta-
bly, proved you To have been deliberately
and mcanly guilty OF moral offence, you
ought To see that your own scurrility is

BUrTERWoRTH'S BILL.
Provisions Of the Measure tn Prevent spec

ulntion In Farmerr' Products.
WASHINGTON, April s.-The house COM
mittee on agriculture to-day reported to
the house, with amendments, the Butter
worth bill TO define options and impose
special tax upon dealers therein, etc. An
elaborate report was also submitted. In
Il the committee says the bill in its terms,
does, and Is intended to apply to that class
OF transactions conducted in bucket shops
and grain pits Of the country known as
''puts" and "calls" including the whole
range Of mere speculative gambling i'm
fictitious farm products. II does not
affect injuriously any legitimate trader or
dealer in farm staples. 1t seeks TO and
does impose an internal revenue tax upon
those dealers in grain, cotton and pork
who as q rule never see, own or handle a
peck or pound Of the articles they deal i'm,
II applies TO dealers whose transactions
have the least possible reference to sup
ply and still less reference To the demand
for consumption, and yet who sell i'm
'bucket shops" Of the United States every
month more wheat than is grown i'm the
whole world in u year. IL is urged, says
the committee, that the influence Of this
bill will greatly hamper and restrict trade,
but so far from the proposed measure al
fecting trade, the exact reverse is true
The committee has no doubt of the con
stitutionality Of the measure. II added an
amendment to a section of the original bill
providing that the act shall not apply "a
any contracts or agreements for the
future delivery of any of the said articles
made with the United States or with an,
state or country or with duly authorized
officers or agents thereof, nor to contracts
or agreements made by farmers for thu
sale and delivery of any articles aforesai,
which are in actual course of production
by such farmers at the time of the making

Ihe IrnleN failure.

Sr. LouIs, April s.-Thc reports which
have gained circulation outside the city
that the Merchants exchange has sus-
pended all dealing in May and July wheat
in consequence Of the Fralcy suspension
is unfounded. IL is true, however, that an
agreement, was entered into 10y the crcdi-
tors aud others this morning that there
should be no buying in those months. No
restriction is placed on selling. Suisse
quently one of the fraley creditors put
brokers in the pit who purchased May

ment. Fraley has made no statement
