BORROWING ABROAD.
American Railroads Negotiating Loan
Some Foreign Comment.

Some Foreign Comment.
London, August THE developments
in the financial crises in the United
States are watched here with the keenest
anxiety. The fact that the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad
Company has had to come to London
to borrow Sc, 900, 600, while the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad Company has negotiated
a six months loan of So, 900, 900 at 5 per
cent, is commented upon as showing now
utter is the collapse OF credit IN tne "a
United States, and how compieJe IS tne
lookup of capital.
@The credit of both the companies re-
ferred tor saws the Statist, stands
high. Their bankers are the greatest
financial houses in the United States,
and yet they are obliged to come to Lon.
don for temporary accommodation. VI
ouired. The Atchinson, Topeka and
Santa Fe road is likewise a borrower. 1t
will succeed in getting loan, as it offers
good security. Besides these two other
companies are reported to be applying
to a leading financial firm for assistance.
In short all the railroad companies In
the United States have floating debts
which, under the present como dltlons pre-,
vailing there, they cannot carry, and
they have to turn to London for assist
ance.n
The Economist predicts that much
more gold will be withdrawn from Eng
land for the United States before the
pressure ceases.
The Sneaker believes that the importa-
tion of gold is strengthening the Ameri-
can banks, and that this, combined with
the remedial measures that will be taken
by Congress, will reassure the American
public. Naturally the banks here, the
paper adds, @wish to give what help they
can to the business community of New
York, every banker knowing that serious
troubles in New York involve trouble in

Especial to the Press.l

Richmond, August IA temporary in
junction was issued Saturday against the
Richmond Saving bank, restraining that
institution from transacting further
business at present. 1t is the result of a
visit Of Bank Examiner Written last
week, who upon examination of the
financial condition of the bank deemed it
inexpedient for the bank to try to con-
tinue business under present conditions
and petitioned to have receiver appoint
ed. A hearing will be held before Judge
Libby at Bath at two pm. August llth.
The bank officials say the embarrass-
rnent is due to the present universal
financial crisis and the uneasiness OF de-
positors. The suspension really took
place before the injunction was served,
the bank officers having previously re-
fused to pay money or accept notices from
depositors. The trouble with tho bank
began last year. Then dividend was
passed, depositors became uneasy, run
upon the bank occurred, which resulted
in a temporary suspension, and ADJUST

OPPOSITION AeHAsT.
The Saw the Home Rule Bill Running
Away from Them.

London, August There was con-
siderable excitement among the Conser-
vative members present at the opening
of today's session of the House Of Com
mons. The report stage of the home
rule bill was reached at an earlier hour
than expected, and Mr.. Balfour, the Con-
servative leader, who had an important
amendment to offer to the bill, was not
present. Mr.. Balfour's proposed amend
ment was intended to prevent Irish mem
bers who shall be retained in the impe-
rial parliament from voting on any ques-
tions except motions offered to amend
the home rule bill after that bill becomes
law.
George BARLEY, who represents the
northern division Of Islington in the Con-
servative interest, requested permission
to act as substitute in offering the
amendment. Speaker Peel ruled that at
this stage substitutes could not be al
lowed. A number of other Conserva-
tives who expected there would be pro-
longed debate on Mr.. Balfour's proposed
clause were absent, and by their absence
lost chance of moving amendments to
the bill. A number of new clauses
were proposed by other members OF the
opposition, but the speaker ruled them
cut on the ground that due notice had
not been given of their submission, or
that the proposals did not comply with
the rules of the House. The Unionists
stood aghast as they saw the report
sweeping through with lightning speed.
Finally, James Parker Smith, Liberal
Unionist, obtained the speakers sanction
b,
under bill be instructed to inquire as to
the better division of the Irish electoral
districts. Debate on this motion was
taken up, and this gave the opposition
time to breathe. The Conservative and
Liberal Unionist whips were at once de-
spatched in search of the absentees
Mr.. Balfour and other members of the
opposition appeared in the House in time
to take part in the debate on Mr.. Smith s
motion, Eventually the motion was de-
feated 106 to 152.

just after the sloops passed Matini-
cook Point, squall came down from the
northwest, and the Vigilant raced
through the water with rail under, and q
cloud of spray breaking over her long
bow. She was doing all her builders ex-
pected, when suddenly away went her
topsail, carrying the topmast with it.
An ominous cracking sound forward
came next, land away went the big jib-
topsail with the bowsprit broken off a
foot from her nose. The boat was run
up into the wind, her jib lowered and
anchor dropped. Several steam yachts
went to her assistance, but help was de-
clined. The broken spars were cut away
the sails hauled aboard, and after twenty
minutes delay the Vigilant sailed back
to Glen Cove under mainsail and jib.
The schooners made fine race of 1t.
The Coronet had her staysail blown to
tatters by the squall that wrecked the
Vigilant, but went on with the remnant
of the sail fluttering in the breeze. The

A charge Of Crooked management.

Manchester. N. H., August 7.-Com
missioner Linehan made his report tc
the directors Of the Peoples Fire Insur'
ance Company today. tits very lengthy
but the gist of it is found in the follow
ing statement:
FsYour securities, which should have
been safe in the vault, are scattered IN
various banks between Manchester and
Boston. Bonds, mortgages and collater-
ais amounting to $3.50, 900 have been al
ready located, and their whereabouts
made known to the advisory committee.
It is very clear that the late president
and treasurer of this company have man
aged it's financial affairs in direct viola
ton of its bylaws, and a rigid investiga.
ton, extending back to the time When
the company began business, should DC
begun at once. There is an over issue Of
stock amounting to $12, 800. The deficit
amounts to $500, 900, and the capital
stock has been reduced to $1,000
