The Great Brass Trust In Wa- teTbury and What It
 Suggests
 E.. OO ~--S a.

Whether tho proposed Brass Trust be for good or evil, it is as sure 10 come as that night follows the day. It may be postponed from time to time, but 1t must come Capital and labor are in the com mercial swim, and while at present the in exorable law of competition is making us fight each ether bitterly, we are solving the great industrial problem with wonder full rapidity. This country is accustomed to doing great things, and we must keep up the habit because we cannot help It. The question of Capital and Labor is as much an issue to-day before the country as was the question of slavery in IS O. We will have to think it out or fight it out. We hope we will be able to keep yood natured about it and THINK it out. For instance, all the railroads in this state will soon be under one management. If all the Furniture Stores in the city were under one management we would not have those failures in the trade every two years. There would be just as much work for everybody on account of the ln- creased business it would naturally bring, but it would be done with greater satlS- faction. We often have to hand ladies n chair as soon as they get inside our doors so exhausted are they from going around to the several stores. They would like to come here the first time and purchpse, but they are used to the old style of going around. Our reputation for fair dealing and low prices is se firmly established that we don't have to talk about that This fall we are stocking up on n gigantic scale in Carpets, Stoves, Ranges, Pictures, Shades and Furniture of every descrip- tion, so that the whole community can find the largest amount of goods to select from. We want you to visit us whether you wish to buy or not so that you can nd- vise your friends where to come. We furnish you from the CELLAR to the ATTIC. Our terms are always the most liberal and the people all like us when they find out the way we do business. Come and get our prices.

THEIR BUSINESS ILLEGAL.
State Bank Examiner Whitton Score.
 Buffalo Loan Associations.

lSu1AIO Loan ASSOC1at1OnS.
 BUFFALO, Aug. 29.-The announcement Saturday that State Bank Examiner Whitton had found two savings and loan associations practically insolvent, and that many others are in an unsafe con dition is still the exciting topic in this city.
 The institutions reported as insolvent are the Third Mediterranean Savings & Loan Association and the Erie County Permanent Savings 6 Loan Association. "have been doing an entirely illegal business. Their system was merely mak ing false entries on somebody's books. They havo been dividing and paying money representing a premium which could only be earned, so much per annum, during the life of a loan. The loan usually ran from ten to twelve years. Profits were declared the very night money was sold. They were anticipating profits by twelve years. These concerns should be wound up at once.
 ''There are probably eighty of these per manent dime associations, and 1 shall not be surprised to find most of them in a pretty bad shape. The larger associat- ions are in good condition, and run their business on different plan, declaring @ dividend once in six months on what has been actually earned"
 MT. Whitton is awaiting the action of the Banking Department in regard to these two associations, and is continuing his examination of other concerns doing business in similar way.

UNCLE SAM WILL SPEAK.
The Seizure of the Caracas Passengers
 May Call Forth Vigorous Action.

M8y Call FOrth vigorous Action
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The State De- partment officials await with no little in terest the official report of Minister Scruggs apropos of the recent arrest of the six political refugees on board the American merchant vessel Caracas in the harbor of Puerto CabelIo.
 It is only on extraordinary occasions
 that the State Department has recourse
 to the cable, and Minister Scruggs' state ment of the affair will therefore be re- ceived through the medium of the mails.
 Secretary Foster has not said anything on the subject, but several officials eX
 pressed their qualification on the vigorous
 protests which both Minister Scruggs and
 Consul Reilly made against the seizure of the six Venezuelans after they had sought the protection of the American flag. If MT. Scruggs' report confirms the statement that the only charge against the gentlemen arrested was that they are political offenders, this Government will act promptly. In the Barrundai case President Harrison took the ground that political refugees who had sought an asy lum on board any American vessel should not be delivered to the authorities of the Government under whom they had pre- viously resided.
 The failure of Mr Mizner, who was our diplomatic representative at Guatemala | at the time, and of Commander Reiter, of | the United States steamer Ranger, prop | erly to protect Gen. Barrundia, led to the | dismissal of the Minister and to the re- | primanding of the naval officer and his suspension from duty for one year. As Gen. Barrundia was dead there was nothing further that President Harrison could do in the matter, but so far as the dereliction of our diplomatic and naval 1 representatives was concerned the pun
 ishment was both prompt and severe. It will probably be some weeks before | conclusive action regarding the affair | will have been taken. A vast deal of correspondence will pass in the mean
 time between the two countries and diplo-
 matic correspondence is proverbially l alnU

 HAMBURG, Aug. 29.-The number of fresh cases of cholera on Saturday was 469; the number of deaths, 197. Returns for yesterday show there were 510 fresh cases. The number of deaths has not yet been ascertained. The mortality from cholera has raised the number of funerals daily from an average of 85 to one of 82O.
 The city is not yet panic-stricken, but the presence of the plague IS apparent everywhere. The usual Sunday excur- sions were abandoned. No excursion trains were run, and the steamers which usually take out parties lay idle at the docks.
 Theaters, circuses and music halls were empty, Most merchants. and shop keepers still stick to their business, but tomorrow may see trade practically sus- pended and the men who constitute the business world here leaving with their 1AmlueS TOT OUner pdrGS OI Geruldny.
 The persons of wealth and no regular occupation have gone already to Rostock, Insbeck and Flensburg and other seaside resorts. Dissatisfaction with the meas ures adopted by the sanitary authorities and with their policy of trying to hold back the worst news is largely responsi- ble for the growing unrest which may culminate almost at any hour in panic.
 The sale of fruit in the city has become a dead branch of trade. Dealers who sell Southern fruits find their stocks practi- cally total loss.
 The funerals which take place con stantly are conducted without the usual ostentation. Not more than two or three carriages follow hearse, and in many cases the body is taken to the grave with out friend or relative to accompany 1t. The services are limited to prayer, or at most to a prayer and hymn. This sim plicity of ceremony is the result of the re- peated warnings of the sanitary authori- ties and private physicians.
 The Hamburg Senate has requested an extra credit of 3,000,000 marks for medi- cal purposes.
 In Altona, just below here, there have been AZ fresh cases to-day and 19 deaths.

 Miss Mamie Houlihan and Miss Annie Delane are spending a week with friends in Jersey City.
 Miss Catherine Featherstone of New York, who has been visiting Miss Annie Flanagan of Riverside street for the past three weeks, returned to her home to- day.,
 "The .Californians' is pronounced one of the most thrilling and interesting narratives ever written. The opening chapter will appear in Wednesday, s issue of the EVENING DEMOCRAT.
 Two breaks in the water main, on Jackson street, caused by the settle ment of the earth at the trench being dug by the Randolph & Cloves com pany, kept the employees of the water department working the most part. of Sunday.
 James Delane answered through the DEMOCRAT over two weeks ago the challenge of Henry Kast to run a hun dred yards, and placed $25 forfeit in this office, which he says he will with draw Wednesday evening if no arrange ments are made by that time for a match.
 While John Devereaux and family of 26 South Leonard street were attend ing a funeral this morning, some one entered their house and took highly prized singing bird from its cage, and closed the cage door afterwards. Mrs Devereaux says she will report the case | at the police station this afternoon.
 Miss Alice Clancy, aged 26, died at her home on South Leonard street Saturday. The funeral was largely at l tended to St Patrick's church this morn ing, where high mass of requiem was celebrated by the Rev Father Duggan.

 For the last 36 hours no new cases have been discovered.
 While the authorities are enforcing the most rigid sanitary precautions, they profess to be satisfied that the cholera will make no serious progress in Berlin. There is no great panic among the people, and a general disposition to obey the sanitary regulations is manifested. The trains at the points on the Russian frontier, where access is permitted, are most carefully inspected, and all persons from the districts in which cholera has been prevalent are debarred from enter ing Germany.

HE SAME OLD STORY
Said Pasha's Lame Excuses for Outrages on Americans.
F WON'T GO DOWN THIS TIME.

The Demand for Preparation for the Burn- ing of Dr. BartIett's House to Be Made
 In Spite of the Sorry Explanation --
 Cruisers Start Soon.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-Constantinople dispatches state that the burning of the house of the Rev. Dr. Bartlett, the Ameri~ can missionary in Bourdour, Asia Minor, Tor which prompt reparation has been demanded by tho United States, has been traced to the carelessness of an American servant.
 These dispatches are at variance with reports made by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and are also contradicted by dispatches re- ceived from MT. Pendleton King, the American Charge d'Affaires at Constan- tinople.
 The experience of the American Lega- tion in Turkey with numerous preceding outrages of a like character has been that the facts in each case have been met by denials from Said Pasha, the Turkish Minister of Justice, sometimes in the face of clearest proof, and some plausible eX- cuse, like that in the present instance, has been assigned to explain away the oc- renee.
 Minister Hirsch has more than once put on record. in his official dispatches to the State Department, that, though the Grand Vizier and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey were willing to do jus tice to American citizens when wronged, Said Pasha, by misrepresenting the facts to the Sultan, has delayed redress.
 The present "eXplanation" of the Bart lett outrage is regarded as a repetition of Said Pasha's adroit manoeuvres to defeat the ends of justice, and to shield Moslem offenders against the treaty rights of Christians.
 It is understood that the explanation n will not delay the peremptory orders given to the cruisers Newark and Ben nington to proceed from Genoa to Turk ish waters as soon as possible after the Columbus celebration of Sept. to sup port the demand for reparation.

RIGID INSPECTION AT NEW YORK

Nothing sus spicious Yet Discovered on the
 Vessels Examined.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The steamship Sorrento, from Hamburg, arrived here yesterday. She was subjected to a close inspection before she was allowed to pro ceed from Quarantine. No case of a con tagious disease was found aboard. The Servia also had a thorough inspection, but nothing suspicious was found.
 If a case of cholera is found on any of the ships all vessels will be detained and d thorough system of isolation established.
 It is believed that the present cholera will arouse the authorities in Halifax and Nova Scotia to a better system of quaran- tine The last time the cholera epidemic struck New York it came by way of New Orleans, while the harbor was vigilantly y watched.
 There is every probability that the i'm migrant traffic will be suspended if the disease spreads much further, as every day brings the scourge nearer to New York. The first step has been taken by the Hamburg American line which announces that it has decided to suspend its immi- grant traffic between the home ports and New York until danger is over. This was done on the advice of the health board. Several ships belonging to this company are now on the way here, some of the m bringing passengers from the cholera districts. Among these are Moravia, due here on August 31; the Nourmannia, due next Saturday, and the Rugia, which is due on the same day.
 The Nourmannia was reported as having arrived Saturday in London, which port she left after taking passengers and mails on board witout any inspection from the health officers.
