EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, June
30. ls9a-Whereas, The distrust and apprehen-
sion concerning the financial situation which
pervade all business circles have already
caused great loss and damage TO our people
and threaten to cripple our merchants, stop
the wheels of manufacture bring distress ana
pfivation 10 our farmers ana withhold from our
workfngmen the wage OF labor; and'
Whereas, The present perilous CONDITION Is
largely the result OF a financial policy which
the executive branch of the government hnds
embodied in unwise laws which must be exc
cuted until repealed by congress:
Now therefore. L Grover Cleveland. presi-
dent of the United States, in performance OF a
constitutional duty, do, by this proclamation
declare that an extraordinary occasion requires
the convening of both houses of the congress of
the United States at the capitol in the city OF
Washington, on the eth day of August next, at
IL o'clock noon. to the end that the people may
be relieved, through legislation, from present
and impending danger and distress
All those entitled act members Of the
Fifty third congress are required to take notice

place above stated.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
United States, at the city of Washington, on
Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety

GROVER CLEVELAND.
The president left here at 4:2O over
the Pennsylvania railroad for Buz-
yards Bay, Mass. He will be absent
from the capital three weeks or more,
his stay depending on circumstances.
Secretary Lamont accompanied the
president as far as New York. The pres
ident'S determination to leave the city
was only reached in the morning and
his departure SO suddenly leaves num-
Der of important appointments agreed
upon unsigned, and many sena tors and
congressman, who have recently ar
rived, in the lurch. 1t is understood
that the president will transact only
the most urgent business while at Buzz
Yards Bay and what official announce
ments are to be made will be given out
at the executive mansion in Washing
ton.
Most of the cabinet have followed
the presidents example and left the
city, or are leaving the city, for brief
vacations. Those who remain say the
presidents proclamation speaks for it
self and decline to discuss the situation
further

The Conditios of Trade the Past Week
business Failures.


NEW YORK, July L-R. G. DUN &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
The closing of Indian mints against silver,
the fall Of silver bullion to 81 cents in New
York, S2h pence at London. on Thursday, the
fall In wheat TO 621z cents at Chicago and 70
cents at New York, the suspension of opera
tions by miners and smelters of Colorado and
some other silver-producing states have made
the week one Of unusual interest Up to the
present time domestic trade has not materially
changed since last week, though increasingly
restricted by monetary uncertainties
Throughout the country, while collections are
slow and failures numerous, the condition OF
legitimate bustDc55 is regarded as healthy, and
kor~es are entertained that the worst Is passed
The hopes are mainly based on the belief that
the silver law Will be repealed, and that the
certainty Of its repeal will encourage foreign
Investments here. Lower prices Of products
also tend to increase merchandise exports.
Wheat has reached prices regarded as out Of
question month ago, and yet the supply In
sight is very large and returns from the north
west as to the coming harvest are more favor
able. Corn Is lower, with very good crop pros
poets. and oats about cents lower. Hog prod
ucts have declined IS cents for pork per barrel
and Is cents for lard per 100 pounds with in
creasing receipts of hogs
The state of foreign exchange indicates will
fngness 10 send money hither for loans or in
vestments, but the Bank of England. by chang
ing the rate for gold shows determination to
resist imports to this country. Merchandise
imports continue heavy, while exports thus far
in June fall about a. ,030 behind the same
month last year. The volume of domestic
trade shrinks considerably, especially at the
west Clearings in June are about 10 per cent
smaller than last year, the decrease at the
west being nearly 20 per cent Business in iron
and steel products is remarkably depressed
and experienced observers pronounce the
situation and outlook the most I'M
favorable ever known The volume OF
business is quite large, but at the lowest price
on record
The business failures for the last seven days
number 23t For the quarter ending June 81
the failures in the United States number 8 1872
as against 2, l19 for the second quarter of 1892
For the six months of 1898 the failures number

1892 showing an increase of S38 The total liza
biliteS of ala the failures occurring in the first
six months OF 1893 are @i68 0JO,O01 while for the

written letter to Director-General

was arrested by Columbian guard sew

The Books of the Fiscal Year Balance with
surplus of S2,OOO.O0O.
WASHINGTON, July .1.-Treasury off
Gals are deep in the mystery of figures,
closing up the vast money accounts of
the government for the fiscal year of
1S92-93 The figures will show in
round numbers that the total receipts
for the year have aggregated $685., OOO,-
600, while the expenditures will
foot up 1888, 600, 900, leaving a
surplus of receipts above .ex-
penditures of 1000, 900. This
was the estimate submitted by Secre-
tary Foster to congress as the proba BILE
surplus of the fiscal year closed yester-
day, and results prove it to have been
prophetically accurate. In this esti-
mate, however, Mr.. Foster did not take
into account the payment of the Chero-
kee Indian claim OF s3,OOO.OOO. Had
this not been paid the receipts would
have been 1000, 900 in excess of the ex-
penditureS

Won by Yale.

New LONDON. July 1.-Yafe's mighty
Oarsmen beat Harvard's brawny eight
yesterday by four lengths in the
grandest and hardest race ever pulled.
Up to the last quarter mile of the
four mile course the crimson wearers
seemed to be sure of the victory Then
the young giants in blue responded to
the word for a squirt and TIE Harvards
Were first overhauled and then passed
almost as though they were standing
still Then the Yales kept it up, and
when the finish was reached they were
four lengths ahead.
Up TO the last half mile Harvard had
the lead, but the pace was too fast. The
crimson boat shivered, shUddered and
finally collapsed after resigning the lead
when the race was three-quarters over.
The blue oars, on the other hand. grew
steadier with every stroke. and at the
close were sending the boat along at
one of the strongest, most uniform and
steadieSt rates ever traversed by q Yale
shell.

TOPEKA. Kan, June 29.-Dr. Hap
good, the head of the Topeka Humane
society, was arrested last winter for
assaulting farmer. The assault was
made in the line of his official duties
He was fined So and costs, the costs
amounting to 1854. He paid the fine,
but has refused to settle the bill for
costs.
Having found themselves unable to
persuade the doctor to meet the pen
atty, the officers of the law again ar
rested him, and he has voluntarily gone
to work on the rock pile. He says that
he would rather work out the costs
than submit to the imposition of hav-
ing to pay what he considers most
unjust and unlawful levy

VIII Forget the Past.

CHICAGO. June 29.-At least one of
the pardoned anarchists, Samuel Field
en-, has no resentment against any one
connected with his trial and imprison-
ment.

to let the dead past bury its dead and
begin life all over again" said he as he
sat in the parlor of Gen. NJ. NJ. Trum-
bull, chairman of the amnesty commits

Those Ieft-Over Souvenir Coins.

CHICAGO, July 1.-The worlds fair
officials authorize the statement that
there is no truth in the report that the
government has determined tolpay out
the $3.50, 900 reserve belonging to the
exposition from the United States APP
preparation. a facsimile of the treasury
bSilding will be erected in the admin
istration building and the souvenir
coins placed on sale. How the report
got out that the government intended
to issue this money, ,s57O, 600, in souvenir
coins, thus practically throwing them
on the market, the fair officials 90 not
seem to know, and the statement is not
only authoritatively denied by the
treasurer of the exposition. but such
action would. in the opinion OF able
lawyers, be entirely illegal.

The Squeeze at Boston.

Boston. June 30.-The strain on the
financial situation has been severer
than ever. Stocks were demoralized
at the start, and it looked for some
time as if the much dreaded panic was
about to break. The liquidation was
extremely heavy, and under the press
ure prices tumbled badly. In sew
eral instances. notably Santa Fe and
Union Pacific, the lowest prices on rec
ord were scored. The former was down
to 1919 and the latter touched 2314.
The banks were calling loans on all
sides, and some of the best houses on
the street had to pay abnormally high
rates to get carried through.
