national banks alone, not including
the amounts withdrawn from state
and private institutions. you can ap-
preciate what a contraction of the cur
rency there has been. The repeal of
the Sherman act has had much to do
with alleviating the situation. There
was a change for the better even when
the bill passed the house. All business

One Thousand Men Encamped in the Open
Cnunfry at Now Orleans.

Country at New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 13.-More than
1000 men are encamped in the open
country just outside of Gretna, on the
other side of the river, and the camp is
constantly increasing in size. As each
freight train of the Southern Pacific
arrives punches of men numbering
from ten to forty alight and hurry off
to the open country. This is the ad-
vance guard of the vast army of un-
employed persons said to be en- route
for the south from all points in Texas,
Colorado and California. The great
er part of the men are not of the
tramp order Many are carpenters and
skilled workmen, while greater num-
ber are miners. Their stories are alike
of lack of money and business in the
west and their inability to earn their
living. The rigor of the weather there
has induced them to come to the south
in droves. The police have intimated
to the hordes in camp at Gretna that if
they invade the city they will be ar
rested for vagrancy, and this fact has
prevented them from crossing the river
in any numbers.

ANARCHIST BOMBS.

Thrown Into Crowded Theater and
Many Killed and Injured.

Outrage at Barcelona, Spain-A Bomb
Thrown Into Crowded Theater and
Many Killed and Injured.
BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 9.-While
fully 1000 people of the very highest
society of this city were last night en-
| joying a performance of the opera
"William Tell" in the Liceo theater. a
| magnificent opera house, sometimes
classed as the largest theater in
Europe, two dynamite bombs were
suddenly hurled from the topmost gall
lery into the midst of the stalls on the
| floor of the house.
One bomb exploded with terrible
| report which shook the theater to it's
foundations and killed six men and
nine women and wounded scores of
others Three other people were killed
in the panic which followed. The
other bomb fell into the lap of a lady
from whence it rolled harmlessly to the
floor
For moment the Liceo was filed
with smoke and dust, falling glass and
plaster which caused rattling din
which added to the horrors of the situ-
alton and cries of dismay and pain in
creased the feeling of terror.
The terrified crowd, fearing that at
any moment another bomb might be
thrown into their midst, completely
lost all sense of control, and there was
a fierce rush for the doors. men and
women fighting with each other as
they crushed weaker ones beneath
their feet in the efforts to escape, leav-
ID LII L.
them, tended only by few of the
braver In this mad rush many old
people and children were severely iu-
jured through being trampled under
foot, while others were severely bruised
and cruShed by the outpouring crowd.
The stalls presented terrible ap-
pearance. The part where the boom
exploded was mass of splintered
wreckage amid which lay numbers of
dead bodies some of them SO terribly
mangled as to be beyond recognition.
When the wreckage was in some
degree cleared away fifteen dead bod
les, of which six were of men and nine
of women, were found lying close to-
gether, the bright colored evening
dresses, laces and jewelry, gloves, hats
hats and bolDets and other finery of
the ladies drenched with blood and torn
in a fearful manner. 1t was reported
soon after the examination of the dead
men that large proportion of the
killed belonged to one family forming
a theater party in honor of the birth
day of one of the dead.
At some distance from the fatal spot
where the fifteen dead bodies lay be-
meath the wreckage were groaning in
agony many persons who had been
wounded by splinters of wood, pieces
of glass and fragments of iron. OF
those wounded several were so seri-
ously hurt that they may not recover.
An Italian named Saldani, who was
arrested on suspicion of being respon-
sible for the outrage, declares his in
nocence, but his statements are contra
dictory, and he will be kept until
further investigation by the police.
Later-It has just been learned Sal
dani has confessed. His full name is
Maurice Saldani.

AUGUSTA, Me, Nov. 12.-John L.
Stevens, late minister to Hawaii. said
of Secretary GreshaR's report on the
Hawaiian complications: THE posi-
tion to which Gresham has seen fit to
commit himself is so extraordinary, so
void of real foundation of truth, so cal
umniOus of the living and the dead,
that have no extended reply to make
at this time. prefer to let time and
events and history decide the issue the
secretary has raised against the provi-
sional government and the aspersions he
sees fit to cast on the deceased captain of
the Boston. the officers under his CON-
mand and myself. The way the United
States ministers and the officers of the
Boston discharged their responsible
ties at Honolulu in January last was
more than covered by Secretary Bay
ards instructions, approved by Presi-
dent Cleveland on July ., 1887. Secre-
tary Gresham has allowed his party
prejudices and animosities TO raise an
issue which congress, full sitting of
the acts, and intelligent public opinion
will determine justly"
