BARDSLEY'S AFFAIRS.
The Keystone Bank Certificates Given as
Collateral for a Loan.

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-The Councils
committee inQuirng into the affairs of ex-
City Treasurer Bardsley and the Keystone
Bank held another meeting this afternoon.
The first witness was Samuel r. Huey.
counsel for the estate of John C. Lucas,
late President OF the keystone Bank
Huey's statement showed that the indebted
ness Of Lucas to the bank at the time of his
death in 1889 was S561, ,000, not 81, 900 900, as
has been printed. This indebtedness, he
said. was settled by the widow. Huey pro-
dueed letters and memoranda which cOrrob-
Grated Postmaster General Wanamaker's
explanation of his connection with the loan
OF $40. coo he had obtained for Lucas from
the GlTard Trust Company. the collateral
furnished being 1000 shares of Keystone
Bank stock, which the certificate book
showed had been issued in Wanamaker's
name, but which that gentleman denied
having owned. Huey said lie ques-
toned Marsh as to the manner in
which the over = Issue occurred, and
the latter exclaimed that the certificates
were all genuine, in that they had been reg
ularly taken from the certificate book and
signed by the officers of the bank, but when
the stock whicn had been sold was bought
In for trtnsfer and the new certificates is
sued, the old certificates were not always
canceied, but were sometimes thrown into
drawer ana used again, if occasion re-
CURED, and TINS doubtless was the way in
which these certificates held by Wanamaker
had been used. 'Of course" he added,
Wanamaker knew nothing OF this, and there
was nothing on the certificates to indicate
any irregularity."
Colonel Mcclure, editor of the Times, who
has been mentioned in Bard sley's statement,
positively denied Bardsley's charges
A resolution was adopted to hold another
meeting Friday and subpoena the Presidents
OF the banks alleged to have paid Bardsley

Statements of Senator Sherman and Ex-
Governor Foraker

Statements Of Senator Sherman and Ex-
Governor Foraker
CINCINNATI. July Ex-senator Sherman
arrived in this city this evening and in
response to queries by reporters said his
visit has no political significance. Ex-
Governor Foraker, when seen by reporter,
said that Amory Smith had CONS to see him
at Sherman's request to know what his
(Foraker9 position was. Foraker said
further: This talk about holding con-
ference for the purpose of citing Inc to
appear and compel me to explicitly define
my position is only another way OF
saying get out of somebody elses road,
and all that kind of stuff is simply nom
sense" When these remarks were re-
peated to Senator Sherman he said: 81
never requested nor desired any one to re-
quest Foraker to withdraw from the can
didacy for the Senate. He has as clear and
unouestioned right to aspire to that posi-
tion as l. According to his statement, he is
candidate very much as am. will not
scramble for the support of members OF the
Legislature, but il l should be reelected to
the Senate would accept the trust and
perform 1t as best coud.'

M0LASSES AS FUEL.
Louisiana Planters Planning to Substitute
1t for Coal,

Louisiana Planters Planning to Substitute
1t for Coal.
The large crop of sugar which Louisiana
is raising this year has greatly complicated
the problem as 10 what to do with the mo-
lasses. With crop of $50, 100000 pounds
of sugar there will be 100000 barrels, 27,-
100000 gallons, or 300, 900, 600 pounds of mo-
lasses, which the planters do not know how
to get rid of.
The output of molasses in Louisiana is
now so great that there is no market for the
lower grades an itdoes not pay to Sell them.
Last year the molasses got down to 8, and
cents gallon. The barrel in which it was
put cost often twice as much as its contents,
and the freight to New Orleans was great
deal more than the molasses was worth
when it got there. Consequently many
planters gave it away to any one who would
send them barrel and pay the freight.
Others dumped 1t in big reservoirs in the
hope that the price would rise. Tens OF
thousands OF gallons were empted into the
Mississippi River and Bayou Tache.
The overproduction of mOlasses this year
will be even greater than it was last year,
and the planters are trying to find some use
for an article which formerly was one of
their most valuable products, but now is a
nuisance. 1t has been proposed first to man
ufacture the molasses into rum or to use 1T
for tfuel. Originally, most of the Louisiana
molasses was made into rum, but tnis in-
dustry was abandoned nearly century ago.
The rum project to-day would involve ex-
pense for machinery. dlstiileries, etc. 1t is
calculated that one gallon of molasses should
make gallon of rum, so that the use of ma
terials for the rum would be to cents a
gallon, and Louisiana would be able to turn
out 100000 gallons of rum annually.
There would be great profit in this, but as
the industry Is a new one, and it would re-
quire considerable capital and skilled labor,
and the planters need all the labor they have
in the sugar plantations. it is not likely to
be tried on any large scale.
More remarkable is the proposition of the
Planter, the organ Of the sugar interests
here, that the molasses should be used for
fuel in the place OF coal in the sugar-houss.
1t calculates that molasses would be much
cheaper than the cheapest coal, and would
be good fuel. Here is the calculation on
this subject:
''The lowest grades of vacuum pan mo-
lasses contains from 20 to % per cent OF

ANXIOUS TO RESIGN.
Statement Of Senator Quay Corroborated by
Hon. ]. S. Clarkson.

New YORK, July 20.-Speaking to-day of
the statement by Senator Quay, that he had
decided to resign the Craftsmanship of the
Republican National Committee Immediately
after the election of Harrison, Hon. j. S.
Clarkson said: II am able to state that
this is true. Immediately after the election
Quay stated to his colleagues of the Execu-
tive Committee that he had decided to re-
sign as Chairman; that he did not desire to
do the detail work, and still more, felt that
a United States Senator ought not to be
Chairman of the National Committee or any
political committee. His colleagues resisted
this, and persuaded him not to resign. He
renewed the wish three or four months
alterward, and about the time of the in
auguration insisted upon it, but the iudg-
ment OF the committee was opposed to it
The Senator was only changed from his pur-
pose by the advice and appeal of his COL
leagues. His health was frail at times. and
he desired to be rid of the burdens of the
office. When his health failed in the Senate.
and he went to Florida on his annual fish,

determination to resign"

Madras, Rajputana and the Punjab are the
worst sufferers. There is drought in Bengal
and the need of more rain is urgent. BOm-
bay alone promises a good harvest.
The American harvest will be good in
quality and amount, but. with the failure of
the Indian and Russian supplies, 1t is of the
utmost Importance that the English crop
should not be short. The prospect on the
whole is good. In the chief wheat counties
Of Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk, the crop is
above the average, and in other counties up
to the average. The harvest will be late
and the prices high. There is, consequently,
a good odtlook for the English farmer to
break long series of disastrous years.
