A WHEELBARROW FULL.
The American National Sends Gold and
Silver Galore to the Island
City Savings Bank.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, Nov. Ga run began
on the Island City savings bank this morn
ing by depositors who had congregated
in large numbers at the opening hour.
The movement was the result OF
the heavy failure yesterday of
Wess Bros, Albert Weis, the senior
member of the firm being president of the
bank. The firm owes the bank $50, coo,
largely secured. however, by collaterals.
All day long the withdrawal of deposits
was maintained, mainly by small de-
positors. Shortly after the bank opened
a wheelbarrow loaded full of gold and sill
was wheeled in. Offers of assistance came
from all the other banks. The board of d.
rectors met at noon and adopted resolutions
personally pledging themselves to the
payment of the banks obligations. This
resolution was posted at the entrance with
a notice that the bank would remain open
until 5 O'Clock this evening in order to
serve the importunate depositors. Presi-
dent Weis resigned at the meet
ing. Among the more conservative
depositors feeling Of confidence
in the banks solvency began to grow in the
afternoon, and tonight it is thought the
scare is over. Some 100000 was
paid out, while $4,000 was sent the
bank by its friends, many prom
inent business men forcing a
passage through the crowd Of creditors and
depositing large sums. Offers of assistance
are being made from all business quarters,
but the bank officials state they are able to
meet every demand that may be made.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-Gossip about the
appointments which Harrison has to make
has started up again with considerable
activity upon the presumption that the an
nouncements are to be made very soon now
that the elections are over. 1t is probable,
however, that nothing will done until con-
greSs meets. The friends of S. 3. ElkinS
are very actively circulating the report that
he is to be appointed secretary of the
war department. The report is very
widely credited by persons who know moth
ing about the situation. The persons who
are closest to Harrison and who would nat
urally be the first he would inform of his
intentions, place no faith in it what
ever. Apparently the president has not.
up to this moment, made up his
mind whom he will appoint, and it is
known that he has expressed the opinion
that there is no need of haste about the
matter before the meeting of congress. The
appointment is at least certain TO go to New
England, and the name of Ex-Governor
Cheney is still kept in the front among the
possibilities. In the opinion of those who
should be best informed on the subject Ell
kinS' selection is not within the scope of
possibility.
1t is probable that all the appointments,
except perhaps that of judge of the court of
claims, will be delayed until after the meet
ing of congress. Several of the appointees,
among them about two-thirds of the circuit
court judges and the Democratic members
of the interstate commerce commission. have
already been selected. All papers relating to
applications of candidates or suggestions of
names for circuit court Judgeships have been
submitted to Justice Harlan, who has gone
over them and marked in numerical ratio
those whom he considers best fitted for the
positions. The appointment of certain of
these has already been decided on. and the
president will be aided by these suggestions
in making up the full list.

The Fate of the Silver-Lead Exporting In
dustry of Mexico Hangs on Judge
Pardee's Decision.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX. Nov. Ga case in
volving the entire silver and lead exporting
industry of Mexico into the United States
was heard on appeal by Judge Pardee of
the United States circuit court to-day and
taken under advisement. About a year
ago two carloads of ore were shipped
by J. F. Matthews of Monterey,
Mex, to E. H. Chichester, through
the port of Eagle Pass, where
the collectors of customs sold it for
the non-payment of $50 per ton duty on all
ores classified as silver and lead. The con-
signee held that the ore should be classified
as silver and should be admitted free of
duty. He appealed from the decision of
the collector of the port to the
United States board OF appraisers
in New York to rate the classification and
assessment of duty. The board decided in
favor of Chichester. The secretary of the
treasury appealed from the decision of the
appraisers to the circuit court, and Judge
Parjee to-day reheard the case. He will
render his decision tomorrow.

Senator Palmer on the Ohio Defect.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Nov. 6.-Senator elect
Gen. John NJ. Palmer credits the Demo-
cratic defeat in Ohio largely to the silver
plank in the Democratic platform. ''The
Importance of the silver plank in the state
PLATFORM said the general, twas exag-
gerated to the greatest extreme, and all
throughout the campaign the tariff issue
was lost sight of and at least
was secondary matter. There is no de-
nying that Senator John Sherman's reputa-
ton as fnancier had good deal to do
with the result. His campaign on money
tended to divert attention from the tariff
issue"
Senator Palmer thinks the results in
most of the other states show that the pro-
tective tariff is not popular with them; and
he attaches much Importance to the Demo-
cratic victory in New York, Iowa, Mary

.Iapan,s Recent Earihauake

WASHINGTON Nov. Ga telegram from
the Japanese government to-day was re-
ceived by Mr.. Tateno. japanese minister,
giving an account of the earthquake which
occurred ON the Goth of October in Japan.
1t seems from the authenticated report
that the damage caused by the shock was
confined almost entirely to the procedures
of Aichi and Gifu. the former of which is
on the sea, about 40 miles from
Toxic, and the latter west. Nagerya is the
chief city of Aichi, and has a population of
$50, 900. There are no very large cities in
Gifu. No mention is made of any damage
in other parts of Japan. According to the
telegram received by Mr.. Tateno, $500 per-
sons were killed and 900 injured; 1900
houses were totally destroyed and 1900
badly damaged

DUN'S REPORT.
The Maverick Bank Failure
Causes no Disturbance.
THE OUTLOOK is FAIR TO GOOD
Wheat is Highter for the Week-A Heavy
Increase of Trade at ST. Louis.
Crops Are Moving Freely.
Business Failures.

New YORK, Nov. 6--R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly Review of Trade will say: The
failure of a widely known bank at Boston
was the striking event of the week. 1t has
caused establishment rather than a
disturbance. The withdrawal of money
from this point to fortify Boston has caused
higher rates Crops are moving freely
so that it seems scarcely possible that any
important monetary disturbance shall arise
at present. Reports from all parts of the
country show that business, though inter
rupted somewhat by the election, has been
large in volume At Boston the fail
ure of the Maverick bank caused
steady and healthy. Nolack of confidence is
seen and money is easy.
Western reports still show the effect of
the phenomenal grain movement. AT Chi
cago the receipts of wheat and rye are three
times last years. The increase on dressed
beef is 81 per cent, while
there is a decrease of a third in
meats, some decrease in cheese, butter and
cattle. Sales of dry goods, clothing and
shoes are largely in excess of last year, and
money is in fair demand.
At st. Louis an increased distribution is
observed, and exchange in October was the
largest by 4,0G0000 in any month in the
history of the city.

AT Memphis business is very fair.
At New Orleans cotton receipts are
heavy, sugar receipts liberal and
rice steady. At Savannah trade
is good. At Atlanta, in healthy
condition. At Montgomery, moderate. At
Charleston, brisk, with large receipts of
cotton, and at jacksonville only fairly good.
Trade in dry goods looks little better.
Spring woolens are in rather more demand.
The clothing trade is fairly satisfactory,
and agents have begun to show overcoatingS
with fair results. Trade in cotton is not
just now equal to last years, but for the
whole season thus far it has been considera-
bly, larger.
Speculation has lifted wheat 1$Ic, though
Western receipts continue enormous. EX-
ports for the week this far are about equal
to those of recent weeks.
Corn has declined half cent, with some
what increased receipts at the West, and
cotton is sc lower. Oil, pork and hogs
are somewhat lower, but coffee is 20
higher.
The general average of prices Is a shade
lower for the week, and the markets are
less embarrassed than usual by cliques
maintaining artificial prices.

He did not think that the stability of the
