BUSINESS REVERSES.
Three Banks in Pueblo, Colo, Forced
to Close.


PUEBLO. Colo. July 5.-The bank panic
did not reach Pueblo until this morning.
Then it came with vengeance. When
the American National opened for busi-
ness large number of depositors were
waiting to take out their mon6y. The
crowd grew and about 10 O'Clock the doors
were closed. A notice was posted which
stated that the bank would commence
business again soon. The assets are
SI,25O, 600 and the liabilities $65O.000.
Runs were commenced on both the
Western National and the First National
The Western National closed its doors be-
fore noon. The Western has deposits Of
over 81, coo, 900 and has always been con-
sidered very strong.
Hundreds stood in and about th O. First
National Bank all day and depositors
were paid as fast as the paying teller
could handle them. The general expecta-
tion is that the First National will be able
to pay its creditors in full and that it can
not be forced to close.
The Central National closed at noon.
It's assets are about $4,000 and its liablli-
ties about $4,000. A run was made on the
Pueblo Savings banks, but the bank took
advantage of the law. which allows them
sixty days, and the bank is regarded as
perfectly safe.
A much better feeling prevailsthis even
ing and the worst is believed to be past.

SCORES OF THE DEAD.
Recovering the Bodies of the Ill
Fated Golfers.
Six Living rlen Disentombed by a
Rescue Party-Frightful Result
of CarelessneSs.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

LONDON, July 5.-The work of rescning
the living miners and OF recovering the
bodies Of the dead is being pushed as
rapidly as possible in Ingram's colliery,
Yorkshire, the scene Of yesterdays eXplo-
sion. The miners are working their way
into the fartheGmost workings as eXpe-
ditiously as can be, and it is expected that
they will have to remove enormous quanti-
ties of debris from the galleries. Thus
far the bodies of thirty-eght dead, some
terribly crushed or burned have been sent
to the surface. Tue air in the pit is COM
paratively wholesome to-day. This leads
to the hope that some of the men may have
reached places of safety still alive. 1t is
believed OF the 145 men in the mine at The
time of the explosion at least 10 are dead.
Last evening the rescuers brought
Lightweight bodies TO the surface. Two
men were brought up in an unconscious
condition but still breathing, and hopes
are entertained that they will recover.
Six men who sustained no injury. but were
imprisoned behind debris, were dug out
this evening
No reason is given for the explosion, but
the conjecture is that it was caused by
carelessness on the part of one Of the
miners in opening lamp.
Eight men and boy have been rescued
from the mine all told. All hope for the
others In the pit has been abandoned

Meeting of the international Con-

MONTREAL, July 5.-This has been a
day of quiet enjoyment for the delegates
to the Christian Endeavor convention.
They climbed. took little excursions on
the st. Lawrence, shot the Lachine Rap

selves at home. In the afternoon Presi-
dent Clark. Secretary Raer and Treasurer
Shaw met in secret session with the board
of trustees. 1t was expected that the Off
GERS of the organization would be re-
elected at the meeting and the place of
meeting in 1895 decided upon, but the
meeting closed with the work still in the
b nds of the committees. In five city
churches tonight prayer-meetings were
held, with addresses from prominent dele
gates.
Several special trains arrived this morn
ing. bringing delegates from Western
States. The California delegation has OF
reached here yet, so the question of
whether the convention will meet in that
State in 1895 could not be decided.
The choice for the place of the next
meeting lies between San Francisco and
Denver, with the chances favoring the

FEELING IN LONDON.
Varying Opinions of the Outcome of
the Situation.

LONDON, July 5.-The New York
Herald's correspondent sends the follow
ing: Yesterday l saw business men of
widely differing Interests who were yet
one in the keen attention they bestowed
on the present silver situation.
The London representative of j. S.
Morgan s. Co. said: Il for one am in
clined to think the present scared attitude
Of the public is not warranted by the actual
facts. Nothing definite can be said until
We see how the natives of India ara going
to regard the action of the Government.
IF they make up their minds that sill
yer is a deprecated metal and begin to
hoard gold, the fact that a balance of ten
or twelve millions is in their favor will
seriously affect our money markets.
II am inclined to think that the innate
conservatism of the Hindoo, and the fact
that he has been using silver and looking
upon it as the only means Of exchange for
many centuries. will render the action of
the Government of much less account than
is generally supposed. If l am not very
wrong in my forecast, in short time
matters will adjust themselves and trade
will flow as uninterruptedly as ever"
The chief partner Of the firm of Sharp5
and Wilkins. the leading silver bullion
brokers of London, said: 1T is impossible.
at the present stage of the game, 10 say
anything very definite. l for one will not
be surprised to see silver even lower.
Isl am inclined to doubt the stories of the
closing down Of 80 many mines, but if the
owners have taken this course, so much
the better for the rest of US who have sill
yer in our possession. Of course, the
United States Government must and will
take step toward STRENGTHENING things
out. and we are awaiting exact knowledge
of what the steps will be with not little
anxiety"
William Gibson, president of the Gold
smiths and Silversmiths' Company. one of
the largest English concerns employing
silver in the arts, SAID:
my own feeling for long time has
been that the truest policy for the silver
mine owners to pursue would be in the
direction of a radical cheapening of the
metal. Many owners, 1 am convinced,
would find it would pay were
they to produce silver and place
it on the market at price much
lower than ever touched before in the his
tory of the world. providing that they
can obtain a large enough market. That
market other large users of silver would
guarantee, were the price per ounce such
as would allow US to use it in the arts
where we are now forced to employ base

OMAHA, July 5.-The American Savings
Bank has gone into voluntary liquidation
and has asked the State Banking Board to
wind up its affairs. This action is due to
the failure Of the American Loan and
Trust Company. which was placed in the
hands of a receiver this afternoon at the
instance of the directors of the concern,

DECLINED TO PURCHASE.
The Secretary of the Treasury Has
No Use for Silver.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Five hundred
and thirty thousand ounces OF silver were
offered to the treasury to-day, but there
were n purchases.
Acting Mint Director Preston did not
purchase any silver, as he considered the
offers made were too high. He did not, as
he has done recently, make any counter
offers. and as result no silver will be
purchased by the Government until Friday
and not then if the offers are at figures
higher than he thinks they should be.
The amount of silver offered to-day was
$50, 900 ounces. Small lots were offered at
.7545 per ounce, but most of the prices
ranged from .769 to .760. The London
price this morning was .759 and taking
into consideration the exchange. the New
York figure should, it is said, be about
.755.
Inquiry at the Treasury Department as
to W neither the amount of silver offered the
Government is as large now as for
merly developed the fact that for the first
six months of the current calendar year
the offers aggregated 80. 100000 ounces,
while for the same period last year they
were only 45, 350, 900. sh0 owing an excess for
the corresponding period this year of
$3.50, 900 ounces. which would indicate that
the production of silver is not falling off
in the United States. The amount of sill
yer bullion imported for the first six
months Of the current calendar year, in
cluding that in ores. was S,471.000 ounces.
while there has been exported 1865. 900
ounces. OF the amount Of silver offered
the Government during this period 27,000,
600 ounces were purchased.
The proposition which has been talked
of to give the President power to suspend,
until such time as he luay see fit, the pur
chase Of silver bullion is one that does not
meet with approval. and the silver men
say they would fight such a proposition
with as much vigor as they will fight the
repeal of the Sherman law. for they believe
the effect of such resolution in the hands
OF Cleveland, whose views on silver are
known, would be the same as repeal.
The net gold in the treasury at the close
OF business to-day was $50. .0S9057.

KILLED AND ROBBED.
A Saloon-Keeper Found Dead in
His Doorway.
His Heart Pierced by Bullet end
His Pockets Turned In
side Out.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

STOCKTON, July 5.-George Arbanasin,
an Austrian, who kept wayside saloon
on the CopperopOls road, three miles
from this city, was murdered last night
about 10 o'clock, but the crime was not
known until this morning when nephew
of the deceased went out from town. He
found the lights burning and the saloon
open. The proprietor was lying dead in
the doorway of small room which opens
from the harroom.
at first it was thought that Arbanasin
had been stabbed. but examination of the
body at the Morgue shows that he was
killed by sh OF from a large pistol or
rifle, which went in through the left arm
and struck hic heart. His pockets were
turned ins15e out. and the place had been
ransacked for money.
Arbanasin had trouble with a fellow
countIyman about two years ago and it
was thought that an explanation Of the
killing might be found in that affair, as
the deceased always feared an attack; but
the belief now is that it was the work of a
drunken fellow who had no grudge, or
robber who entered and demanded coin.
Arbanasin kept a loaded shotgun in a
small loom and from the position of the
body it is thought he started to get the gun
after an assault, and was shot while enter
ing the room, as death must have been in
stantaneous.
Farmers living a short distance from the
saloon heard shots there about 10 O'clock
last night, but paid no attention to them,
thinking it was the play OF some drunken
man who was celebrating the Fourth of
July A man has been found who lives
on ranch near by who tells queer story.
He says he stopped at the place about mid
night to get drink and saw Arbanasin
lying Oh the floor. He tried to awaken
the saloon-keeper by kicking his foot, and
failing to do SO helped himself TO drink
and went home.
A farmer who passed there at II 80
o'clock last night said the place was light.
ed, bat no one seemed to be in the house.
Arbanasin was then lying dead on the
floor, but could not be seen from the road.
The nephew worked as waiter in res
taurant here all night and returned home
at about o'clock this morning. He WAS
the one who reported the killing.
Arbanasin was a single man, about 50
years of age, and was known to always
have few hundred dollars in the house.
His nephew lived with him, and this was
his first night away. So far there is no
ciew to the murderer.

FINANCES OF MEXICO.

Export Unlimited Dollars.

CITY OF MEXICO. July 5.-At present
there exists a scarcity of the circulating
medium. due mainly to the heavy exporta-
tion of Mexican silver dollars. This drain
upon the finances of the country must be
met by increased coinage. Mexico has,
furthermore, certain and unfailing mar
ket in Asia for all her dollars. The iu-
creasing expectations Of coffee and other
products will enable Mexico to export
more dollars than ever before. Silver is
produced in Mexico cheaper than in the

acutely felt here than in the neighboring
republic.

employ force on the high seas, even in time

law that debars the United States from
making such seizures as are necessary to
protect the seal industry. The right of
protection extended to the open sea. and
even to the territory of friendly nation,
under certain circumstances.
In the course of his remarks Phelps de-
clared that the value Of the sealing indus
try was the chief consideration in the pur-
chase of Alaska by the United States.
