WORLDS FAIR.
Financial Affairs of the Exposition in
q Worry Favorable Condition.

Financial Affairs of the Exposition in
Very Favorable Condition.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-This was the col
ored peoples day at the Worlds Fair.
The weather was clear and bright, and
large numbers of the colored race from
the city and surrounding country, and
many from the far South were present.
There were gathered in Festival Hall the
finest specimens of the race in the coun-
try. The venerable Fred Douglass de-
livered the Grafton; Sisseretta Jones, the
BLACK Patti" sang delightfully."-, and
there were various other exercises of an
interesting character. Buffalo Bills
Wild West paraded through the grounds
for their benefit.
The financial affairs of the exposition
are in very favorable condition, and if
the improved attendance continues, il
will be marked financial success as well
as artistic.
There is no abatement of interest in the
live stock exhibition. Thousands of
people were there all day witnessing the
awarding of prizes to Shire and French
draft horses, and to Aberdeen-Angus and
Angus cattle.
In an address to the colored people this
morning Frederick Douglass mildly
scored the exposition management for
having in measure ignored the Ameri-
can negro. He said the people of the
North yielded to the white prejudices of
the South in excluding the negro from
representation. He spoke rather bitterly
of the treatment of the negro throughout
the country in general, and said that he
would like to be able to say that the white
man who murders negro in any part of
the country is as certainly brought TO JUS
tlce as if he had murdered a white man,
hnt this he pOniH not AmRripa said
Douglass, does not allow colored children
to praise her.
The total admissions to-day were III,
1872, of which l40, iii were paid.

NEW MOVE IN KANSAS.

TOPEKA, Aug. 25.-State Bank Com
missioner Briedenthal has issued a cir
cular to the State banks declaring that in
view OF the fact that the New York CITY
banks refuse to pay drafts, except in
Clearing house certificates, which are not
lawful money, they appear to be insolv-
ent, and he points out that the State bank
ing law requires a reserve Of 20 per cent
of deposits, half of which may consist OF
balance due from solvent banks.
Not considering the New York banks
solvent, ne rules that the Kansas banks
must not hereafter count as part of their
legal reserve more than 2 per cent. in
money due from New York. He allows
this much only to enable the banks to
supply the local demand for New York
exchange. Breidenthal says the circular
is issued for the protection of Kansas
bankers. Local bankers fear serious con-
sequences, as a large number of Kansas
banks are borrowing in New York, and.
If they transfer their accounts to either
city. the New York banks will call their
loans.
