TIE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday, March 21-p III.
BY the operations of the New-York Sub-Trcasury
in the week ended last night. which included the
payment of $37,34S for purchased bonds and the
receipt of g., 02S,0SS for payment at other Sub
Treasures, the associated banks gained $3.50
500 The weekly bank statement published To-
day showed a gain of only Sl33200. The en-
pansion in loans of S3,oj9,20O was due undoubt-
ediy to early preparations for the April settle.
mcnts. bat the increase IN deposits was over
5000. 900 les, than the other changes required.
The statement is explained partly by the payment
Yesterday Of $2,213330 in refunding the direct
tax. BY the system of averages the payment
virtually Offset the exports of gold. The gain of
this money is apparent. rather than real how
ever, and the banks are presumably poorer by
several millions than the statement showed The
changes resulted in loss of 1913, 200 in the sur
plus reserve. which is $9,O55,375. against
S3A1G,425 at the same time year ago and

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.
The stock market was even dulcr than usual on
a half-holiday The opening was at slight conccs-
sionS and an additional shipment of 100000 gold
cXered depressing influence, but it checked trad
ing without producing decline in prices. The
entire movement was so sluggish, however that the
fluctuations were hardly worthy Of notice. Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy which maintained the
closed absolutely unchanged, and II.
Paul. which kept second place gained IA per cent
In both stocks the extreme variations were Withln
a range of 1-2 per cent. The apparent settlement
of the passenger troubles in the Southwest gave no
life to the dealings in Atchison and there was not
in Missouri Pacific The closing was
dull, but strong -on the publication of the bank
statement, which was much less favorable than had
been expected. The final changes were generally
advances although Union Pacific. NewEnGland
and few less prominent stocks suffered small de-
clneS The changes in either direction were
rarely over IA per cent.
THE DAY IN TIE BOND MARKET.
There were again no transactions in Govern
ment bonds. and bids for the stamped per cents
were slightly easier. The closing quotations were

NAME THE FASTEST BOAT.
SWEEPING CHALLENGE ISSUED TO
UNCLE SAM.
Norman L. Munro Wishes to Match
His Steam Launch Norwood
Against Any Vessel.
Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.

~
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Last "Wednesday
Norman L. Munro's much talked of
steam launch Norwood made a record of
fourteen miles down the bay in thirty
two minutes. This is at the rate of
26.2S statute miles, or @. 81 knots an hour.
While the Norwood is undoubtedly the
fastest steam launch in the world, the
Tribune made the statement that she was
not as fast as some of the torpedo boats
Munro took exception to this statement,
and in a dispatch from Long Branch
said:
Kindly name the fastest American
torpedo boat. L am quite sure Uncle
Sam will consent to a contest of speed be-
tween the Norwood and the fastest ! am
of the opinion that no steamboat in this
or any other country can outspeed the
Norwood over ten or twenty-mile
course through smooth water"
In reply, the Tribune makes a state
ment that the navy possesses only two
torpedo boats, the Stiletto and Gushing,
and adds that the Stiletto had speed of
only 1922 knots ut the speed trial of
three hours duration on March q, 1890,
with full outfit of equipment and at her
deepest displacement of 1878 feet The
Cushing made a mean speed of 22.52
knots. 1t is a matter of record that her
maximum speed is above a knots Al
though of greater length and deeper
draught, the Cushing made mean speed
of only 80 of q knot less on q three
hours run than the Norwood made ON a
thirty-two minutes run. But it is not at
all likely that Uncle Sam will consent to
test speed between the Cushing and the
Norwood, as navy vessels are not built
for racing. Attention is also called to the
fact that in the Spanish, Russian, Turk
ish and English navies there are torpedo
boats with an average speed of 19s to 27.
knots per hour.

Eye-Witnesses Tell the story of the
Shooting of Blum.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Two firemen of
the OLDHAM, who We're eye witnesses of
the shooting of Fireman Duzen, or as
they say his name was Blum, to-day told
the story of the occurrence. "Thero
were only three firemen left who saw
the shooting. Blum was sick. He went
to the forecastle and sat down. Chief En-
giueer Bolton came to him and asked him
If he would not go TO work. Blum replied
that he was sick, and could not work.
Chief Bolton told him that he could go to
the hospital. Blum said he did not want
TO go To the hospital, but when he felt
better would work again.
The Captain came to see Blum The
latter was sitting with his elbow on
table, his head resting in his hand. The
Captain asked him the reason be did not
want to go to the hospital. Blum
go back to work again Well said
Captain Baker. you must 60 to the
hospital. Blum spoke up, Il won't 90 to
the hospital. will go to work as soon as
l am better
AS soon as Blum finished his sentence
Captain Baker whipped out a revolver,
and, pointing il at Blum, said: In the
name of the King and fired. After the
shot struck him, Blum cried, Lord God,
you hit me- The Captain said, You
need not look so bad, its only loose shot
Chief Engineer Bolton and the doctor of
the ship took Blum to the hospital. The
shooting occurred about Sunday night in
the forecastle."

From the wounded only the most frag-
mentary information as TO the progress
OF the fight can be obtained, and it is
utterly impossible now TO form any judg-
ment as to which side is getting the bet
ter of it.
Admiral Brown, commanding the
American fleet, and other foreign com
manders have combined to protect the
lives and property of foreign citizens.
Should the revolutionists succeed in
defeating or repulsing the Government
troops in the present struggle they have
10 cross small creek which separates the
beach from the village of Nina del Mar,
and on taking possession of the village
would be in the rear of Fort Callao. With
fleet on one side, the fort and insurgents
on the other, it would be untenable.
Thus the northern defense of Valparaiso
would fall, making the work of capturing
the city much easier
1t is the universal believe that Valpa-
raiso will be bombarded by the fleet
should Balmaceda fail, and the victorious
army would make land attack. If, on
the other hand, Balmaceda gains a vic
tory. the feet will cover the retreat of the
insurgents, and, il necessary, re-embark
the troops.
All the Government officials here are
confident that Balmaceda viii drive the
insurgents back, and if he does not en-
tirely destroy them, compel the remnant
to re-embark in transports and return to
the North.
The fall Of Valparaiso would mean a
practical collapse Of Balmaceda's power
The outside forces are now engaged.
There are no forces to oppose the march
OF the insurgents to Santiago, and they
would, with that city as base Of oper-
ations, soon overrun all the southern
provinces.
On the other hand, the defeat Of the in
surgents would mean result little less
than decisive, for the rebels have put
forth all the strength they have, and
while Balmaceda would not be able to
follow up the victory and take possession
of Iquique and other northern ports un-
til the arrival of the new warships, il is
hardly likely that the Junta could re-
cover from a crushing defeat on Del
Mar
