HEAVY IMPORTS OF SPECIE.
Beneficial Effects Already Being Felt
by New York Banks.

The associated banks OF New York have at
last begun to feel the effects Of the heavy
imports OF specie. Their statements show an
increase OF "a 500 600 In lawful money, all OF
1t In specie, for there is a decrease in the item
OF legal tenders.
The decrease in loans of IS. .000, 900 has also
been brought about by the imports Of specie
The net result is an increase in the reserve
required, bringing the deficit in that item
down to about Sl2. 10000 Officials OF the
clearing house banks were naturally gratifed
at the showing, and in many quarters hopes
are expressed that the tide had already be-
gun to turn. The amount OF specie received
was 81, $50, 900, leaving about S5,000,0OO in
transit.

THE HOUSE.

9Th Day-The major part OF the session
WAS occupied bv Mr. BRYAN, who delivered a
fervid pr0-silver speech. He was frequently
applauded and at its conclusion there were
loud calls for vote.
After adopting resolution calling ON the
secretary of the treasury for information re-
specting silver purchases, the debate ON the
Wilson bill was resumed, Mr.. Mccall, Rep,
Mass, speaking for the bill. He said he
agreed with the opponents Of the bill that
bimetallsm and monometalism were at
issue, but the cause OF bmetalllsm was
represented by the friends OF repeal. CON
tinuanre Of the policy OF buying silver
would inevitably deprive the government oi
its stock Of gold and place this country upon
the silver standard, and this would practically
demonetize gold. Under the operation OF the
act Of 1890, the government had lost nearly
Sl0O. 900 600 of gold and under continuance
of the act the day could not be distant when
1t would be unable to redeem in that metal.

SCATTERED the GOLD.
Wreck of a Train Carrying the Yellow
Metal

The Fort Wayne mail and express train No.
z, carrying $3.50 900 in gold coin consigned to
Chicago, was wrecked at Whiting, Ind.
The engine was thrown from the track at
the crossing OF the Chestnut terminal belt
line. The third car, which contained the
coin, was burst open and the treasure partly
thrown out and scattered in the middle OF the
highway. The wreck caught fire from the
engine, and but for the prompt action OF the
fire department the train with its precious
load would have been consumed. A force OF
men was procured to guard the money, and
at dawn this morning 1t was taken to Chicago
by another train. No one was injured save
two laborers who were working at the ruins
and were struck by heavy timber. They

Evidence for the defense in the Curtis trial

Curtis was at Berkeley with large sum OF
money early ON the evening OF Grants death.
This tended to corroborate the defense's
theory that Curtis was robbed and that the
robber killed officer Grant and ran away.
Mrs. Curtis swore that she gave her hus-
