A storm of'dissen tand cries of order i'm

the Sherman Law,

CHICAGO, June 26-The following tele-
gram was sent to President Cleveland to-
day, signed by thirty-eight of the leading
business houses of Chicago. 1t is under
stood that several others, who did not sign

message sent:
"To President Cleveland: Believing
that the Sherman silver bill is one of the
most important factors contributing to the
present depressed condition of the national
finances it is our earnest request that the
matter be discussed at the Cabinet meet
ing next converting. In our opinion the
immediate repeal of this law would do
more to restore confidence than any one
thing, and, believing it to be question of
national Importance, we beseech your
favorable consideration"

other Western cities have been urged to
take similar action.

MR.. GWIN is IN LUCK.
He Has Secured the Office for
Which He Fought.
Shipping Commissioner by
Secretary Carlisle TO Succeed His
Good Friend, Morton.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WAsHINGToN. June 26-Secretary Car
Isle TO- day appointed William NJ. Gwin of
California Shipping Commissioner at San
Francisco
William NJ. Gwin is a son of the late
Senator Gwin, and so comes of good Demo
cratic stock, although not OF the faction
that has been accustomed in late years to
arrogate to itself the control and manage
ment of the party. Mr.. Gwin made fight
for the Office to succeed his friend John
NJ. Morton, whose term expires August l.
The office is fee office; that il, there is
no salary attached to the position of Com
missioner or his deputy, although the Gov
ernment pays three clerks TO do the rou-
tine work. In years gone by when Colo
mel Stevenson held the Office of Shipping
Commissioner the fees amounted to from
$4,000 to $4,000 per annum. Commits
sioner Morton admits that his fees have
amounted to 5000 year, according to Mr.
Gwin. and the latter hopes to increase the
business of the office.
There have been pretty definite tips out
for some time that Gwin was booked
for the place, and when seen by CALL
reporter recently the gentleman said:
one which lies within the gift of the Pres
ident. The Secretary of the Treasury has
the appointing of the commissioner, who
must make out of the fees of his Office
enough TO pay his help. AS l understand
1t the office of the Shipping Commissioner
is TO protect the sailors and see they are
not robbed of their wages and have a full
and fair showing for their rights at all
times.
Il spent six weeks in Washington City
trying to secure the place and have many
good friends there, among whom l am
proud to number Justice Stephen J. Field
of the United States Supreme Court. l
think they all worked for me, but so far
as | know DO results have been announced.
If appointed | can only say l will do the
best L can for the sailors, regardless of
unions or non-unions. / haven't studied
the question of the fight between the union
and non-union sailors, ncr have ! looked
closely into the 'boarding-house' question
other than to form an idea from the news
paper articles that the clearinghouse
masters could be dispensed with at great
saving aud benefit to the sailors"

DYING AWAY.
SO Far as the Coast Is Concerned
the Storm Is Over.

SAN DIEGO, June 26. - The Savings
Bank of San Diego County, connected
with the Consolidated Bank, was reopened
for business this morning on the order of
State Bank Examiner Gerberding, who
said it was perfectly solvent and should
n not have closd.
Throughout the bank panic which began
here last Wednesday the Bank of Com
merce, of which DR.. r. NJ. Powers is
presidenI. has been in a way to steadily
hold the lead in public confidence. This
morning there was quiet rejoicing through
out the city on finding that the banks

posts OF over $4,000 were received and only
about 500 paid out and there were more
depositors all through the day than
drawers of cash.

Comptroller Eckles were to take possess
sion OF the two national banks, yesterday

ing after being closed one day. The bank
is perfectly sound. The financial outlook
is all serene.
PORT ANGELES, Wash. June 26-The
Fist National Bank of this city suspended
shortly after opening its doors this morn
ing. The suspension was caused by the
sudden withdrawal of deposits by several
large depOsitors. The officers of the bank
saw that the cash on hand would not hold
out, so they decided to suspend tempo
rarllE until funds could be secured The
assets of the bank are S142,00 and the
liabilities $4,000; due depositors, $50, 0OO
The bank has been conducted on very con-
servative lines and is in GOOD condition.
The suspension caused no excitement, and
confidence in an early resumption is ex-
pressed by all parties. The suspension
will only cause temporary embarras smen t
to few.

Mint in his purchases for the Government,
was 371s pence, or about SIS cents in this
