SCARCITY OF CURRENCY.
Now York Banks Refuse to Ship Nor

Now York Banks Refuse to Ship More
to the Country.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The banks here
have shut down ON the shipment OF cur
rency to the interior. The scarcity is so
pronounced that agents were bidding a
premium of $40 per $1,000 today. Insti-
tutions with large pay rolls have been
compelled to resort largely to the use of
silver. One bank Is reported to have
paid l per cent for all the currency re-
ceived at a big retail establishment.
Banks request depositors to use checks
as much as possible, and when cash is
required are paying large portion in
silver dollars. The supply of bills at the
sub-treasury is growing limited, and has
caused refusal on the part of the SUBJ
treasurer to receive checks from banks
in payment for silver dollars and cur
rency for shipment and pay roll use.
The sub-treasury has collected checks
through the clearing house. This order
OF the sub .treasury today that banks
must deposit cash against the with.
drawal of currency and silver was one OF
the results of the conference yesterday
between Secretary Carlisle and Assistant
Sub.Treasurer Jordan.

\ TERRIBLE DISASTER.
FATAL ENDING OF YACHT CLUB
EESTIvITIES.
Collapse OF a Balcony Crowded With
MeR and Women - Four People
Kn0sd Outright and Many
Injured.

BosToN, Aug. 3.--A distressing acci-
dent, that has resulted in the death of
three people and the injury of probably
Is or 20 others, occurred this evening at
the boat house OF the Chelsea Yachting
club. 1t was illumination night at the
club house, and in con sequence there
was large crowd in attendance, includ-
ing many ladies. A bsnd was playing
on the pier in front OF the club house,
and many people had filed balcony
directly over the musisians' heads. Sud-
denly the balcony gavb way and its oc-
cupants were thrown upon the pier and
many OF them into thb water. The con-
fusion that followed is indescribable.
An alarm of fire was sounded and the
firemen who responded did grand work,
rescuins those who were found floating
in the water and in securing the bodies
of the drowned. Following 10 q list of
the dead, as far a. known at present

Augusta T. Shuman.
Mrs. A. P. Putnam was also killed.
Nearly two score people were thrown
from the balcony by the accident, and
piled in a struggling and confused mass
upon float. Many believed their in
iuries were far more serious than they
prove to be, and it was long time be-
fore it could be definitely ascertsined
how many were killed. Three or four of
the injured are severely hurt, while the
remainder have only bruises o. flesh
wounds. The more seriously injured
were taken to the United States naval
hospital and the Frost hospital, where
their wounds were dressed, while many
were able to go to their homes unas-
sisted.

fraud on the part OF the claimants, but
because it was discovered that this bu-

Commissioner Lochrsn, continuing,
says: "Under the act of June, 1890,
disability need not be of service origin,
but to be pensionable at all the disable

A VALUABLE CARGO.

Six Thousand Tons of Tea Thrown ON

New York, Aug. 3.-The British
steamship Glenegle. with cargo of new
crop tea, arrived today from Yokohama
and Annoy. The Glenegle left Annoy
June 22d, and every effort was made to
get to this port ahead of her rivals.
Her cargo of 5000 tons of new tea, worth
just 81 500, 600 when she left Annoy, is
worth much more here, and $4,000, 900
pounds will make decided impression
on the market. Thirty-four Cinnamon,

not seem to belong to that category al

search revealed nothing alarming in the
appearance of the disease.
The fame OF the pest has reached Eu-
rope, and Sir John Bolle, director OF the
imperial experimental station at Corr
Austria, is here, having been sent by
the government to examine this vine
pest. He 10 accompanied by III. Ender
of Vienna. The two gentlemen are also
looking up the effectivness of the Cali

Mr.. Wetmore also visited the Santa
Ana and Orange vine districts. To this
latter place he went principally to note
the progress made in stamping out a
patch of phylloxera-infected vines dis
covered there last March. He found
that the injected vines had been rooted
up and burned and the pest destroyed.
Mr.. Wetmore says that southern vim
yardists are becoming respondent. The
appearance of the Anaheim disease and
the ravages of phylloxera have stopped
all planting. and though the crop this
year is good both as to quantity and
quality, the growers can make no cor
tracts, and the buyers will quote no
prices.
