LACK OF ENTERPRISE.

English Newspapers Failed to Rise 20 the
Occasion ia the Victoria Disaster.
LONDON. June 27.-If any proof was required
as to the astounding lack Of enterprise on the part
of the English press is sfurnshed by their apathy
regarding the terrible disaster to the battle ship

Cured Oh Thursday last reached London until

Rear Admiral Markham's first message Off

miralty Office Thursday night. sleepy clerk
at the Office did not think the dispatch Of sufS-
cient importance to open il and left il lying on
q desk until hundreds Of inquiries from private
individuals who had received personal DIS
patches began to be received, when be swoke
to the fact that the unopened envelope might
contain something that would throw sonse hghs
upon the subject of the inquiries.
None of the English papers had reporters es

ard could easily have sent their reporters from
Port Said or Alexandria. the former place being
only three hundred miles from the scene OF the
accident and the latter four hundred miles
On Monday three-and-a-hsf days after tt
was known the Victoria had foundered, the

in LonGon the representative. OF the United
Press telegraphed 10 firm OF ship agents in
Beyroot. making arrangements with them to
furnish him with full story of the accident
for transmission to the newspapers Of the

Owing to the distance Of Beyroot from the
scene of the accident, the difficulty Of getting
the men of the feet to talk, Rear Admiral
Markham keeping them within strict bounds,

During the War.


During the War.
The circular of the Gettysburg monument
commission of New York in regard to the re-
union at Gettysburg next week was a subject Of
general comment at the War Department today.
The circular advises all veterans to boycott the
trolley line now desccrating the battle ground
and appeals most earnestly to all New York
veterans "to abstain from any acts of violence
against property of any description during
their visit to Gettysburg" high official, who
served during the war. said to STAR reporter
today that this appeal for the protection Of the
trolley line reminded him very much of an in
cident that came under his own observation
during the war. ''The soldiers thought that
they were being cheated by a sutler and ap-
pealed TO their commanding officer for redress.
He counseled moderation and advised them,
among other things. mot to upset the dealer 8
wagon and then walked away. The hint was
not lost on the men aud the officer had hardly
got out of sight before thev had overturned the
wagon and srrewed its contents in the road"

the Middle of Next Month.
The comma ndant Of the Massachusetts, naval
reserve has informed the Navy Department
that the reserve of that state will. as pro-
posed by the Navy Department. take their sum-
mer practice cruise on one of the United States
cruisers. They will be ready to star,
by the eighteenth Of July and expect
to muster about four hundred men.
They will probably make their cruise
in the San Francisco. The New York naval
reserve. it is understood. will axe their cruise
in the New Hampshire. This plan. however. is
subject to change. and they may decide to ac-
cept the proposition of the department and use
one of the modern cruisers.
The Navy Department advocates the use OF
the cruisers, as it is thought cruise on them
away from home and land will prove more
beneficial than the old method of cruising neal
shore,

PENSACOLA IN A PANIC.
Two Deaths From Yellow Fever Cause
a Stampede.

Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 9.-This has been
day of excitement in this city, caused by
the announcement that yellow fever had
made its appearance here. There were
two deaths this morning, one on East Hill
and the other on North Hill, the highest
elevations in the city. DR.. w. Fl. Ross,
one of the attending physicians pro-
nOunced both cases suspicious. When
this report reached the ears of DIR. R. w.
Hargis, president of the board of health,
he Immediately requested that an autopsy
be held on both bodies.
The first death was that of little Ellen
Weed, the 7-year-old daughter of John G..
Weed. The other was that of Rev F. c..
Waite, a Baptist minister, and proprietor
of planning mill and furniture factory.
The autopsy was held by Drs. w. K.
Roos, j. 4. Cravey, f. G. Renshaw and G.
r. Oglesby, and at late hour this after
noon they furnished the board of health
with certificates that in both cases the
persons died with yellow fever.
AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
The board of health then furnished the
following for publication:
Office of the Board Of Health Of Escambia
County, Florida. Pensacola, Aug. 9, 1S93.-The
board of health regret to announce that two
deaths occurred in this city today, those of
Rev, +. C.Waite and Ellen Wood, child OF Mr..
John Wood, both pronounced yellow fever.
The houses have been isolated, the bedding
and clothing destroyed and all necessary pre-
cautions taken to prevent the spread of the
disease. The public viii be notified immedi-
ately II any new cases develop, AT present
we see no cause for undue alarm.
RoBT W. HARGIS, M D..
President Board OF Health.
Attest: G.. BRENT. Secretary.
The announcement of suspicious cases
this morning had the effect of stamped
ing large number of people, who left
here on the north-bOund train at l 80 p. m.
The depot is crowded tonight with per-
sons leaving, and by morning the city will
have lost a considerable portion of its
population The physicians report that
there are no other cases of suspicious
character in the city, and it is believed
that no other cases will occur, as every
precaution is being taken to stamp out the
disease.

A KICK ON THE HOME RULE BILL.
The Parnellites in Parliament Adopt
Resolutions.

Dublin, Aug, "a convention of the
Parnellites OF the Irish parliamentary
party was held in the Rotnda in this
city to-day. John B. Rodmund presi-
ded
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that the refusal of the government to
amend the injustice Of the financial pro-
sails Of the home rule bill was degrading,
and that uhe restrictions placing the
Irish Legislature under the imperial par
lament, without power to control taxa-
tlon or develop the national interests,
coupled with the reduction of the mum
ber Of Irish representatives in the inn
perlal parliament, render the bill impOs-
sible Of acceptance by the Irish people.
IRISH VOTES AT WESTMINSTER,
London, Aug. 9.--In the House Of Com
mons to-day William Mccartney, consery-
ative, moved the adoption of an amend
ment to the home rule bill providing in
effect that the Irish members, who shall
be retained in the imperial parliament
shall vote on no bill. motion or amendment,
except motions that may be made amend
atory Of the home rule bill. This amend
ment is the one that Mr. Balfour, the
conservative leader in the House, intended
to introduce last Monday when the home
rule bill came up on the report stage, but
which his absence from the House at that
time prevented him from doing.
During the debate on uthe motion Jo-
seph Chamberlain. the liberal unionist
leader, denounced the strategy of the gov
ernment by means of which a scheme was
imposed on the House giving the Irish
members who ashould be retained the
right to vote on all questions. The best
and only just arrangement would be the
total exclusion Of the Irish members from
Westminster.
A PROBATIONARY PERIOD.
Henry Labouchere, radical, said that If
the Irish sat in Westminster for partial
purposes there would be two majorities in
the House, which would destroy the
foundation of parliamentary government.
The House had either TO accept full re-
tenEOn or full exclusion. If the
bill were complete measure Of
home rule he would vote for full exclusion.
1t was not a complete measure and the
House must therefore await the end of
the probationary period, when full home
rule would be given, before settling the
ultimate status Of the Irish in the imperial
parliament. Mr.. Labouchere's remarks
were greeted with cheers.
The division was then taken and Mr..
Maeartneys motion defeated by vote Of
22l to lSl,

A NASHVILLE BANK CLOSES.
Its Assets Three Times as Large as
It's Deposits.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 9.-The First
National Bank Of this city suspended
after banking hours, this afternoon. A
statement has not yet been given cut.
After the suspension Of the First Ma
tional this afternoon, the directors Of the
Fourth National had a meeting Those
present represented several millions Of
property, and signed a guarantee pledg-
ing themselves and their individual es-
tates to the payment Of all deposits.
They further state that the bank
is able to meet all of its
obligations. The directors of the CITY
Savings Bank had a meeting tonight and
unanimously decided to suspend payment
for sixty days. The suspension is caused
by the stringency of the money market.
The bank is considered solvent and will
pay depOsitOrs and stockholders in full.
Its deposits aggregate $l0,1079O, It's as
sets are $l5l 400, 80, 90 per cent. of which
is good. The directors of the bank have
personally pledged themselves and their
estates to the payment of all deposits in
full.
Edgar Jones, president of the
Union Bank and Trust Company,
says in an interview with a reporter that
his bank will open as usual tomorrow.
John NJ. Speery, president of the
Merchants National, in an interview,
says his bank will also open tomorrow, as
usual
THE OLDEST IN THE SOUTH.
The First National was the oldest
banking institution south of the Ohio,
having been established in 1868. 1t had a
capital of 81 100000 and a surplus fund
and undivided profits of 100000. The
suspension is in no sense due
to losses made by the bank
1t is solvent and viii not only pay its
creditors dohar for dollar, but its stock
holders much more than par Up to the
failure Of the Commercial National Of
Nashville, the First National had larger
deposits than any bank in Nashville It's
deposits aggregated $4,000 900. At the
close of business this afternoon it's. total
deposits had fallen below 81 900, 600
The bank examiner, Mr.. Plumlee, who
happened to be in the city, took immedi-
ate charge IL allowed, it is thought the
bank will resume business in sixty days
The last statement, made July Is, 1898,
gave the deposits, general and special,
at 81, ,534 ,941.11 For the past
few months there has been
steady draw from the bank
by depositors, and to-day, being unable to
realize on their securities in New York
the bank closed. The capital stock is
81 ,000.0 900 and the assets shown by the
last statement SO, ,047 ,9s3.3l.
The news of the failure of the First
National, coming as it did after banking
hours, did not spread generally over the
city until late this afternoon, and tonight
it has been the general talk in the
clubs, hotels and on the streets. The
officers and stockholders are among the
leading men of the city business world.
1t is conceded that the failure IS square
one. Herman Justin is president and
John P. Williams, vice president, and w.
H. Grantlad, cashier. While an uneasy
feeling prevails, it is not believed that
there will be much Of run on the other
banks tomorrow.

CR1sP's COMMITTEES.
The Speaker Listening to All Callers
But Reticent Himself.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Speaker Crisp
did not come to the capitol to-day, but re-
manned at his hotel, devoting the day to
the consideration of the formation of the
committees. He said yesterday, when
asked about the probabilities in this con
nection. that he saw no reason for chang
ing or modifying the opinion he had eX-
pressed when he first came to
Washington, viz That two or three
weeks must elapse before the list would
be announced. There is still nothing but
speculation possible concerning the regu-
lar committees. Speaker Crisp listens
to all suggestions, requests and recon-
mendations from members and others in
terested, but says nothing, at least noth-
ing that can be quoted.
