He Will Hear New York Bankers Views
Mt y Dinner This Evening.
NEW York. July ls.-James H. Eckels. con-
troller Of currency, arrived in New York last
night a. the guest Of ex-Secretary Charles s.
Fairchild. Mr.. Fairchild received the re-
porters later and introduced them to Mr.
Eckels
In reply to the reporters questions he said:
II have come over from Washington to attend
given tomorrow night by Mr.. Hepburn,
my predecessor, and by Mr.. Henry w. Cam
non and others. This is my introduction to
the New York bankers. and, in fact, to the
banking community Of the country. l do not
think that any significance can be attached to
the dinner. As far as the financial situation is
concerned, l care to say very little, except that
1t looks to me as il there will be q recovery
some time. do not know when that time will
come / have been dependent, to u great ex-
tent. on the newspapers for my information"
That is all Mr.. Eckels cared to say for publ
cation.
Mr.. Eckels will carry back to Washington tho
views Of the New Workers, and at the proper
time, no doubt these views will be submitted
to Secretary Carlisle and others.
The bankers at whose invitation Mr.. Eckels
has come say that his visit is purely social
evening at the Union League Club is
stated to be for the purpose of intro
ducing him to New York bankers, and
not for the purpose Of placing before him any
request Of the bankers for action by the Treas
ury Department in regard to the issuance Of
bonds or any other steps bearing on the fnsn-
cial situation.
Mr.. Charles g. Fairchild, at whose house Mr.
Ecxels is staying. says that no significance had
been attached to the dinner.
1t will be an informal affair of some import
ance, however. as Mr.. Eckels will meet the
committee OF the clearing house and nearly all
the presidents Of the national banks who are in
the city. There will be no formal speeches.
but the monetary situation and the prospects OF
legislation at the approaching session Of Con-
gress will be discussed.

A Hot-Headed Doctor.

asked to have his tooth drawn. ''Man, you're
no needing a tooth drawn" said tine doctos.
"Gae ava hame and pit poultice 10 It,"
An argument ensued, during which the suf-
ferer, driven to desperation, cried out, Il
dinna suppose you can draw teeth" At this
the doctor seized his forceps and Jumped over
the counter. "I'n draw every tooth in your

patient who rushed through the market square

THE Atmosphere SO FOUL

That Fifteen Minutes in the Police Court
Cells Enough to sicken One.
The Police Court cells were in little better
condition today than they were yesterday, and
it was all because there were not 80 many pris-
oners held in them. The prisoners numbered
thirty-one today, among them being thirteen
women, who occupied the one cell set apart
for females Although there we're not SO many
persons in the cells today as there were yester-
day many complaints we're made concerning
the intense heat and foul odors. but there was
no way for the officer in charge to remedy the
evil
Judge Miller's letter asking for an inspection
Of the cells reached the health Office last even
ing, and this morning DR.. Osmun. medical
sanitary inspector. and Inspector Shepherd
made an inspection. They found things
in the condition reported in yesterdays
STAR and both inspectors expressed surprise
that such condition of affairs should exist SO
near the health Office. DIR. Osmun stated that
the atmosphere in the cells was enough to
make any one sick who had to remain in there
fifteen minutes.
The report of the inspectors viii be made at
the health Office tomorrow.

Engines Run by Compressed Air.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Visitors to the transportation building yester-
day had an opportunity Of seeing q novel sight
in the exhibition of several great locomotives
running at full speed. yet not moving an inch
from their positions
This exhibition, the first Of its kind, was got
ten up by the Baldwin locomotive works. The
engines are raised that the drivers will safely
clear the trae KS. and they Ay around with
lightning express speed the sightseer has an op-
portunity to stand in one spot and see loco
motive run sixty miles per hour for q whole
hour II he desires to do 20.
The motive power is compressed air. which is
furnished from compressor in machinery hall
through iron pipes.
One curious feature Of the exhibition 10 the
steam-like appearance Of the exhaust out OF the
smokestack while the engines cylinders are
almost at the freezing point This phenomenon
is due TO the fact that The compressed air as il
expands rapidly in going through the compound
cylinders absorbs heat rapidly. or what is an
equivalent, generates cold. Consequently,
when the mir Is finally exhausted. it is SO much
colder than the surrounding atmosphere that ii
precipitates the moisture in the latter and forms
a mist just as in the case of exhaust steam. only
the conditions under which it is found are ex-
actly reversed in the case Of the cold air.

Day Of Depression In Prices on Wal

Street.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
New YORK, July 1S.-London was the dis
turbing element in today's market and early
cables from that side were filed with rumors of
impending financial disaster. One of the
largest houses in that market. having CORES
pondents in all the principal cities Of Europe
and represented on New York Stock Exchange,
was said TO be on the verge of suspension.
All attempts to corroborate these statements
failed, but the entire London market until late
in the day was feverish and irregular and indi-
cations pointed to extensive liquidation.
Up m. cables. London time, reported a
stronger tone and the closing was a trife
more encouraging.
The bear party at once took advantage of ad-
verse conditions abroad and, aided by
selling orders from that side, found
little resistance to their efforts to depress
prices. The opening was from Is to per cent
lower than closing quotations and with the ex-
ception OF few unimportant rallies the decline
was continued throughout the early hours.
Call money was abundant at 8 per cent. but
time money Is q commodity that only privi-
legged few. who know its whereabouts and pre-
sent themselves early. can enjoy. In the face
Of a sitter rate for exchange S135. 600 addi-
tonal gold has been ordered for shipment to
this side and reported to the conSignees this
morning.
Affairs in the west have taken on more
serious aspect and failures are OF daily occur
renee. The Union National Bank Of Denver
with a capital Of S1,C00,000, closed its doors
this morning. as did also the National Bank Of
Commerce. with a capital of ESQ.,. 900. Both
institutions correspond with the Chase National
of New York.
The Commercial National Of the same city,
with capital Of quarter Of a million, went
into liquidation later in the day.
Among the active stocks that offered large
rewards to pessimistic operators. who sold
them at early prices, may be mentioned st.
Paul, which dropped to 551. net decline of
points. New York Central lost ~ per ct to s6s+,
Northwest sold down ~ per cent to 961s, Man
haitian was per cent cheaper at lis than it was
at the opening and Lake Shore gave up ~ per
cent OF its selling price result OF consider
able activity, which marked it down to 113k.
Sugar was on the bargain counter at a reduc-
ton Of per cent, opening at Ten and selling
down on large and frequent sales to 751.
General Electric was also per cent lower at
81: and Chicago gas lost az to $685..

uous feature In the days trading.
