DEPosITORs PANIC STRICKEN.
Another Heavy Run Made on the Bmk-
beck Bank.

LONDON, Sept. l3.-The crowd of
panic stricken depositors who were I'M
able to withdraw their money from the
Birkbeck bank yesterday began 10 get
there at O'Clock this morning, before
the banks doors opened. When the
doors were opened a. 10 O'Clock, the
usual hour, the two lines had been
formed and the.police compelled those
IN the lines to keep their places.
As soon as the bank opened
the payments commenced. Although
there is no question that the bank is
perfectly solvent and able to meet any
claims made upon it, 1t will be forced
to realize upon more of Its securities If
the run does not abate. AS stated, the
bank yesterday cold $500 in consuls at
96s. and the sale depressed all govern
ment securities. At the stock exchange
yesterday consols opened at SO l1-l6 and
closed at 963, showing a rally towards
the end. If the bank is compelled to
make further forced sales of securities
it will suffer heavily.

FOOTING IN THE WEST.
Carnegie Iron Mills to Be Established IN
the West

the West.
WEST SUPERIOR, Mimi, Sept. l3.-An
authentic basis for the story regarding
the establishment of a western branch
of the Carnegie works was made public
today. Some time ago options were
purchased onl 900 acres of land near
the city limits of Superior and front
ing on Superior bay. X. j. Remiss,
resident head of the improvement COM
pany, is authority for the statement
that the actual purchaser was Mr.. Oh
Yer OF PIttsburg, prominent man IN
the iron trade. Upon equally good au-
thorIty the statement is made that the
Carnegie company and the Minnesota
Iron company are Interested, that the
plan was originated before the serious
trouble came at Homestead, and that
the course of events has tended to
hurry negotiations. Mr.. Oliver was in
Superior three weeks ago and looked
over the property. Ostenslbly his visit
was pleasure trip, but before leaving
ne stated be was interested in a CON-
pany which was to start modern VII
lage and operate extensive IRON works.
He refused TO say positively who the
heavy moneyed men back of his scheme
were, but 1t was minated that Carne-
pie and the Minnesota Iron company
were interested. His visit of inspec-
ton to the property IN Superior was
followed by that of III. c. Frlck and
the officers of the Minnesota company
10 the Mesaba range. Mr.. Frick, while
at the MINES, ordered sample cars of
ore and agreed to purchase 100000
tons of it II it was "a promised, the ore
TO be delivered not named. Options
on the property were purchased
through agents IN Chicago and the ut
most secresy observed until the whole
amount was obtained The property
j. adjacent to the docks and terminals
Of the Winnipeg road, which will be
the first to bring down Mesaha ores.

The Pension Bureau Iuyestigatiou.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-In the pension
office examination to-day the case of Clerk
Renaux, who was discharged from the pen
sion Office for having written antilles which
appeared in the New York Tribune, crit
cising the conduct Of pension officials and
commenting particularly on one case, was
taken up. Raum said Rena1x had the
papers in the case on his desk and had no
right to have taken them from the files.
Renaux denied having written or inspired
the articles in question, but admitted being
writer Tor the Tribune. The article was
misstatement. Raum further stated in
his complaint to the secretary that Renaux
after Commissioner Black went out of
Office, boosted Of having written the well
known physical Wreck'' articles. A
Tribune correspondent denied that Renaux
wrote the article or furnished the facts
Then ensued a long colloquy between
Raum and Enloe. Enloe asked if Raum
sent somebody to see Russell Harrison 10
get him to use his influence with the con-
trolling powers OF the Tribune to stop this
attack upon his (Raum's) administration.
Raum said be had no such knowledge or
information and knew nothing of anybody
having spoken TO Whitelaw Reid to get him
to stop this matter. He understood one OF
the principal men of the Tribune had con-
versation with General Hassey That
gentleman seemed to be laboring under the
impression the department was much dis
satisfied with Raum's management, and
they informed him quite contrary. He
supposed this gentleman also saw Secre-
tary Noble. He (Raum) knew absolutely
nothing about Russell Harrison, Lemon or
Others interceding with this msn He had
not understood that the influence of the
administration was brought to bear on
Whitelsw Reid. He had never spoken to
the President, to Russell Harrison, or
Lemon on the subject.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Senator-elect
Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, appeared, pre-
scented his credentials and took the oath of
Office. He was warmly congratulated.
Senator Dolph, from the committee on
foreign relations, introduced bill 20 pro-
vide for the punishment of violations of
the treaty rights of aliens. The bill is sup-
gesteG by the Italian troublein New Or
leans last year. The bill went on the cal
endar.
Senator Stanford, of California. ad-
dressed the Senate in support of bills in
troduced by him to determine the value of
legal tender dollars.
The Indian appropriation bill was taken
up, and the discussion begun last week on
the subject Of army Off cers being assigned
to the duties of Indian agents resumed
Pettigrew opposed the proposition and ar
gued army officers did not possess ths
necessary qualifications.
Proctor replied. He thought If there had
been three or four army officers at Pine
Ridge agency the late troubles there would
not have occurred, and millions of money.
and livea which were lost, would have
been saved.
Hswley favored the proposed assignment
and Henderson expressed the belief that
with army officers as Indian agents the
era OF bad blankets, shoddy clothing and
rancid bacon would be at an end. Hawlev
moved to amend the House provision by
adding to it proviso that whenever the
President shall be of the opinion
the good of the service specially
requires il, he may appoint civilians
The discussion was finally closed
by Dawes in an argument against
the House provision as being a radical
change in the administration of the Indian
service. II civil places were wanted for
army officers, why not put them in the
custom service, which was rotten, or the
land Office service, which had been rioted
with by political hucksters in the western
country.
Hawfey's amendment was agreed to. and
without reaching vote on the amendment
10 strike out the provision the Senate adj
iourned.

THE FREE WOOL BILL
j. II. Taylor, Of Ohio, Denounces
it as a Conspiracy.
BUTLER OF IOWA, DEFENDS IT
General Discussion oft VIII be Closed This
1 Weed-Ihe Pension Bureau Investigation
in the Senate.

WASHINGTON. March 20.-The Springer
free wool bill was denounced in the House
to-day as a conspiracy between the cotton
raisers at the south and the wool manu-
facturers OF the north to enrich themselves
at the expense Of the prosperity of the ma
ton. This charge was made by Represen-
tative ]. n. Taylor, OF Ohio, and will
doubtless be the subject of some vigorous
retorts from the Democrats. Beyond this
utterance the tariff discussion to-day was
without unusual incidents.
Butler. of Iowa, made his maiden speech
on the tariff, and although sharply ques-
toned by several Republicans maintained
himself with credit.
Butler in his speech contended the price
of no article of consumption ever decreased
one cent by protective tariff, and protec-
ton had not resulted in an increase of the
wages Of workingmen. He was free
trader. the only way for the nation TO be-
come the center of wealth was to become
the center OF the worlds trade. There
should be no tax on trade, except what was
necessary TO meet the necessities OF the
government economically administered.
1t is settled this week will close the gen
eral discussion on the bill, and Chairman
Springer himself will probably appear
Monday with a motion TO suspend the rules
for its passage.
Taylor, in the course OF his speech men,
toned above, said inside of ten years the
south would be demanding protection for
its cotton, as the people OF Ohio to-day ask
protection for their wool. He predicted
free wool would be followed by free wool
ems, as in England, and the people would
resent this disparity between the cotton
raisers Of the south ana the wool manu-
facturers Of the north to enrich themselves
at the expense Of our prosperity. He
closed with an eloquent defense of the Nc
hinley act
Layton, Of Ohio, and Crosby, of Massa-
chusetts, favored the bill. The latter con-
graduated the country that under tariff re-
form the Republican majority of 10000 in
Massachusetts had been so reduced that
Massachusetts was to-day doubtful
state. Recess until evening.
AT the evening session Of the House
twenty members were present. This num-
Der soon dwindled TO twelve, and after q
couple of tariff speeches the House ad-
journed.
