Hoke Smith hears Arguments.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 90. Secretary
Hoke Smith today heard the argument
OF counsel upon the application of the
ellison Asphaltum company for the res
toration Of the two most essterly tiers
of townships now included in the Un-
compahgre Indian reservation in Utah.
1t was the contention Of counsel that
these Indians hold the lands they occu-
py by sufferance only, and therefore
neither they nor the secretary OF the in
terror has any right to lease any part OF
them for mining Or any other purpose.
They argued that the only way in which
the asphalt deposits in the reservation
can be rendered accessible is by restor-
ing the lands to the public domain and
the power to restore the lands by an
executive proclamation is beyond ques-
ton. At the conclusion of the argu-
ment the secretary announced that he
had serious doubts as to his authority
to execute mining leases on this reser-
vation, and in any event would not do
90. He thought it probable he would
send communication to congress on
the question of opening the reservation,
or part Of it, for settlement.

A CIRCULAR TO BANKS,
THE BANKERs' CONVENTION AT
OHIcAao POSTPONED.
Energies OF the Officers OF the American
Bankers Association Exertsd to
Secure the Repeal of the
Sherman Act.

NEW York, Aug. 22.-The American
Bankers association lie now issuing
circular to all the banks and bankers in
the United States, stating that the ex-
traordinary monetary crisis has con-
strained the association to postpone the
annual convention called for the 9th and
7th prox. at Chicago. This will prevent
such expression upon the part of the
association as the financial situation de-
mands. and the officers feel it incum-
bent upon them to speak for the associ-
alton. They say it is manifest that the
immediate cause OF the prolonged strin-
gency is the fear and apprehension of
disaster engendered in the minds OF the
people by the continued purchase of
silver by the government and by
unceasing issues of its obligations

the bankers of the country will under
stand and realize this to q great, if not
to greater extent than any other class
of citizens. and it therefore becomes
such of them as fully realize this to urge
upon thir fellow-citizens and upon con-
gress the great necessity for the immedi-
ate and unconditional repeal, of the pur-
chasing clause Of the Sherman silver act.
The repeal Of this clause is demanded in
the interests Of those favoring gold
standard, and those favoring the use OF
silver with gold, as the continued pur-
chase of enormous quantities of silver
with gold obligations can only result in
the final inability Of the government to
redeem such obligations in gold, and
continued over-production, and, in con-
sequence, further depreciation OF silver,
thus rendering the prospect of inter-
national agreement for it's more general
use throughout the world more hopeless
than at present. blank form OF petit
ton is enclosed to be circulated among
merchants, business men and others.

ister of the interior, issued decree or

ator Galenda, project for Rome; Signor
Sardri, chief of police, and Signor May
netti, inspector of police in the district
in which the embassy is situated. The
decree states that the suspension OF the
three officials is due to their failure to
maintain order.
According to semi-oficial announce
ment this evening, the minister of for

am bassador to France to inform the
French governments, in view of it's spon-
