Some Of the Methods Of the Madl'
son Square Bank.
ITS CLEARING HOUSE AGEN'
Left S15O,OOO in the Hole-How the
State and East River Bridge Company
Were Saved from Lo.s-More Arrests
Probable.

New YORK, Oct. 27.-The collapse OF
the Madison Square bank left the St Mich
olas bank, its clearing agent, creditor TO
the extent of $780, 600. The Madison
Square bank was supposed to keep with
the ST. Nicholas deposit in cash or It's
equivalent, large enough to meet all de-
mands. Ordinarily a sufficient deposit re-
mained there, but when, the Madison
Square bank being on the verge OF failure,
State Treasurer Danforth ran through the
clearing house check for the states
money. $3.50, 900, and Frederick Uhlmann
succeeded in withdrawing $4,000 for the
East River bridge company, the regular
fund at the St. Nicholas gave out
That was the time when the clearing
house committee, on the complaint OF the
ST. Nicholas bank, went TO the Madison
Square bank and took from the vault Sc
curities TO the amount of 1915, 900. These
securities had been seized solely with the
view Of protecting the st. Nicholas bank
and upon the theory that it was entirely
proper for the clearing house committee to
take such action. When the temporary
receivers took possession OF the Madison
Square bank they were unwilling to recog'
nize the right OF the clearing house COM
mittee TO these securities and filed pro-
test against their retention in the clearing
house.
The matter was we'll fought out at vari-
Gus conferences between receivers and
the clearing house, and the clearing house
having been led to believe that the seizure
had not been made strictly within the law
returned the securities TO the Madison
Square bank.
There is no doubt that the bank will
collect this debt, because il it cannot be
paid out Of assets the stockholders of the
Madison Square will be liable to assess
ment for 1t.
More Arrests Probable.
District Attorney Nicoll held consult"
ton with Attorney Samuel Untermeyer,
counsel for Receivers Mites 0Brien and
]. NJ. Cannon, OF the Madison Square
bank, this morning. and it is rumored
that, as result of his consultation, other
arrests will follow.
The rumor is to the effect that not only
were the officers of the bank reckless with
the money of that institution but that
several outsiders, who were on the ground
floor, were dishonest i'm their dealings with
the bank.
Assistant District Attorney Davis, who
has charge of the case, says that as yet he
has hardly had time to investigate the
new charges, but he will not deny the
rumors.

BERLIN. April 2S.-Herr Harden. q
journalist OF this city, had an interview
at Frledrichsruhe with Prince Bismarck
on the subject OF anti.Semitism, which
is at present playing an important part
in the political afIaira OF the empire.
Prince Bismarck expressed himself free
ly, and loft little doubt as to his posi-
lion on the question, The interview
was quite lengthy.
In substance Prince Bismarck said;
~ was never friend Of the Jews,
owing to my education, Twas in ls47
the adversary Of Jewish emancipation,
which subsequently favored in 1860,
because the late Baron Bleichroeder ap-
preciated my national projects. The
reappearance OF anti.Semitism after
an epoch OF speculation Is natural, be-
cause the deceived people confound
capitalism with judaism. In 1880, the
anti,capitalist movement could have
been moderated by the safety valve OF
anti-Jewism. The Ahlwardt era will
result in politics with no important OF
lasting consequences"
Prince Bismarck added that the
ADOPTION OF legal means against tho
Jews would be useless, and expressed
the opinion that the crosa breeding OF
the Hebrew and Gentle races would
gradually bring about settlement OF
the Vexatious question.

Have Come to an Understanding With the
Secretary OF the Treasury.
New YoRK, April 2S.-Great satisfac
ton was expressed in financial circle
this morning at the result OF the con-
ference yesterday morning between
New York bankers and Mr.. Carlisle,
secretary OF tho treasury, and Wall
street quickly showed that it appreci'
ated the clear and explicit statement
made to the bankers.
Although no action was taken at the
conference, it established unmistakably
in the minds OF the bankers present,
all admitted this morning, that the gov
ernment was determined to maintain
the parity between gold and silver
that the secretary thoroughly under
stood the situation, and the stories that
there was friction between the seCreta'
ry and the bankers OF New York were
absolutely without foundation, q It was
learned on good authority that Secreta-
ry Carlisle has been assured by the New
York bank presidents OF their willing.
ness to come to the assistance OF the
government whenever in his opinion
more gold was needed by the treasury.
Speaking Of the conference this morn
ing Brayton Ives, president OF the
Western National bank said to-day;
THE result OF the conference was
eminently satisfactory 80 far as IL went
to prove, as it did prove, the existence
OF an entirely harmonious feeling
between the secretary of the treas
ury and New York bankers. / AM
in position to know that there has
been no friction between the New York
bankers and the secretary OF tho treas.
ury; but an impression has got abroad
that some friction existed, and there
fore such an interview as took place
yesterday is OF great importance as es-
tablishing Conclusively the existence OF
harmonious relations.

the emphatic declaration OF Mr.. Car
Isle that tho silver Jaw is the chief
cause OF our present trouble, and that
every effort must be made to secure its
repeal. was also very favorabiy i'm
pressed by the clearness OF Mr.. Car
isles expressions and his evidently
thorough understanding of the situa-
tion.
"Doubtless many will feel as do
that it would have been an advantage II
we'll defined plan could have been
agreed upon, by which tho banks could
cooperate with tho government
in case OF an emergency, but as
the feeling seemed to be general
that such plan could and would
be forthcoming should an emergency
demand one, perhaps it was as we'll to
do nothing, as such position shows
the confidence Of the government and
the banks in their ability to meet any
emergency which may arise"

who constituted committee to escort
the President to the reviewing stand,
arrived, and fifteen minute later the
President was ready to depart. Car
riages awaited tho party ut the Fifth
avenue entrance to the hotel. An i'm
mense crowd was gathered there, and
the police had no small difficulty in
keeping passage way TO the carriages.
When the President came out he was
greeted with cheers. He was the first
TO enter the carriage. After ho took
his seat he put his hand to the right OF
his forehead above the eur and when he
withdrew it, the hand was covered with
blood. Mr.. Cleveland in entering the
carriage had removed his hat but not
bending low enough had bumped his
head against corner OF the top OF the
carriage, the back having been let
down. The President on seeing the
blood Immediately left the carriage and
returned to the hotel He was followed
by the cabinet and the members OF the
escort committee, not little dismayed
at the mishap.
The victoria which was to carry the
President was shabby affair and was
driven by shabby ordinary hack
coachman. In the hotel the President
was Immediately surrounded by tho
secretaries and several OF the ladies.
The confusion on his head bled pro-
fusely. ArniCa was Immediately ap-
piled and doctor sent for. In short
time DR.. Stephen Burt arrived, exam.
ined the wound aud pronounced it not
serious. Plaster was applied and the
blood washed away. The President
then announced himself ready to go in
the carriage again. The front OF the
top OF the vehicle had meanwhile been
lot down as the back had been. When
the President again came out he was
greeted with cheers long continued. He
lifted his hat TO show that the wound
he had received was trihing. The pres
idential party reached the city hall re-
viewing stand at II o'clock, but were
obliged to leave the stand just as the
head OF the column was coming into
sight, in order to catch the train at
Jersey City for Chicago.
