PuRcHAsRs oE SILVER.
Secretary Carlisle Endorses Director
Preston's Policy.

Washington, July Secretary Car
Isle, after an interview with Acting
Mint Director Preston this morning, au-
thorized the Associated Press to state
that he fully approves the policy pursued
in his absence by Acting Mint Director
Preston in purchasing silver, and that the
same policy viii govern silver purchases
in the immediate future. This statement
will set at rest rumors that Secretary
Carlisle would on his return reverse the
policy of the treasury in purchasing sill
YER Director Preston was intrusted by
Secretary Carlisle with entire discretion
in purchasing silver when he left on his
vacation.
This morning, with the approval of
Secretary Carlisle, he refused to pur-
chase 100, 900 ounces of silver at 20 cents,
the London price being about 29l5 pence
per ounce. This lot was part of lot Of
fered yesterday at Y to 73 cents per
ounce, and was declined and a counter
offer made by Mr.. Preston of 711G cents
per ounce, which the holder refused to
accept This morning he offered as
stated 100000 ounces at 40 cents,
u cents below the price rendered,
but Mr. Preston informed the offerer
that he purchases silver only on silver
days, Mondays, Wednesdays. and Fri
days. The total silver purchased so far
this month is about l, 100000 ounces, be-
sides some 'local'' purchases, which may
bring the total up to 1900, 600 ounces. It
is not expected that the total of SOC, 900
ounces of silver will be purchased this
month, but this does not worry the treas
ury officials, as Secretary Carlisle holds
with Director Preston, that the law does
not require the treasury to purchase that
amount in case it is not offered within the
market price

SOME OF CENTRAL'S CASH
Ordered TO Be Paid to Creditors at
Macon.

Receiver Conner Wanted to Appeal
From Judge Speer's Decision-His
Answer TO a Rule to Show Cause Not
Liked - The Judge Sees No Disre-
spect to the Court, But Intends to Be
Obeyed.
Macon, Ga, July 22-This morning
there came on in the United States court
a rule against II. M. Conner, receiver Of
the Central, to show cause why he should
not pay Judgment rendered by Judge
Speer in favor of the Macon Foundry and
Machine Works. This Judgment was for
services rendered in repairing cars Of the
Central, and has been due ever since the
receiver was appointed.
The decision Of the court on their claim
was that as their account was contracted
n short time before the receiver went into
possession, and as he received the cara
which they had repaired and was now
using them-under a decision of the SUI
preme court-the expenses were incurred
TO keep the road a going road and he
taking L as going road was obliged to
pay them. In other words, the Central
got the benefit Of the work, no matter
whether it was contracted while under
the control of the Richmond and Danville
or not
Receiver Conner gave as reason why
he should not be required to pay tho
Judgment that he was not satisfied with
the Judgment, and proposed to take an
appeal to the circuit court Of appeals.
Another reason given was that the earn
ings Of the property for the past few
months had been extremely low, and that
he has to make payment of many de-
mands that are due, and that are of
higher dignity than the one of the Macon
Foundry and Machine Works. Still
another reason given was chat the
claim should be put on the basis of other
claims and paid when the receiver has
the money to pay them, by the sale of the
road or otherwise. In his decisions
Judge Speer said the reasons given were
tantamount TO saying that the ruling
of the court that the claim
should be paid at once is erroneous. In
concluding he said;
"The court has no idea that the receiver
intends any disrespect to the court and
has no idea that he has appreciated tho
tone and Significance Of this answer It
is, nevertheless, plainly ydisrespectful, and
the court therefore, with much regret
for the occasion, directs it TO be stricken
out for that reason, and that formal or
der be taken making this rule absolute,
and that the receiver instanter pay this
debit

A KNOXVILLE BANK CLOSED.
The State National Succumbs to Run
by It's Depositors.

Knoxville, Tenn, July 22.-The State
National Bank of this city closed its
doors this morning. The bank has long
been known to be the weakest in the city.
Yesterday when 100000 in deposits were
withdrawn it was more than it could
stand. A meeting of the directors was
held last night. An offer of
$4,000 to pay depositors should run
ocurr to-day was made by other banks,
but the offer was not accepted. When it
opened for business this morning a run
was precipitated, which only lasted few
minutes as the bank closed It's doors for
liquidation. A notice on the door says
it will pay depositOrs dollar
for dollar. Stockholders will also
receive S5 cents on the dollar
1t was feared that the closing of the
State National would cause a panic in
Knoxville financial circles, which have
heretofore been considered very strong.
A slight run was made on the City Ma
tional bank, which is just opposite the
State, but her depositors were paid in
full. The scare was soon over. There is
no more uneasiness felt here 1t is
thought that the other banks can stand
the storm.

Homestead, Pa, July ga run of con-

mand the bank prepared to pay all claims
and remained open for this
purpose until d late hour tonight. The

posits instead of Withdrawing their mon

BREAx1Ne OF THE BANKS.
Nearly 200 National Concerns Closed
Since January /.

Washington, July 22.-Since January
nearly 200 national banks have closed
their doors, against less than 80 during
the same period last year, OF the fail
ures this year five have been United
States repositories, as follows: First
National bank of Little Rock, Ark; Gate
City National bank of Atlanta, Ga; Peo-
pies National bank of Denver,
Col, German National bank of
Denver, Colo.; Kentucky Ma
tional bank of Louisville, Ky; This
latter bank, which closed its doors to-day,
had, by the last report, received her S33,-
$50 United States funds. The govern
ment, however, will not lose anything by
these failures, as each national bank that
is a government depository has to deposit
United States bonds to the amount of the
government money it is allowed to carry.
These bonds, in case of the failure of the
bank, are sold for the account Of the gov
ernment, and as United States bonds are
at a premium in the financial market,
there is never any difficulty in realizing.

dered bank examiners 10 take charge of
the failed banks as followsF-n Escott, at

BISMARCK STILL SORE.
He Makes a Comparison Of the New
and Old Regimes.

and Old Regimes.
Berlin, July 22.-More than /, 100 excur-
sionists from Brunswick arrived in Fried
ericksruhe yesterday afternoon and
marched to Prince Bismarck's house In
response to an address from their spokes-
man Prince Bismarck made long speech
His most notable remarks We're these:
"Such opposition as / experienced when
was minister president of Prussia has
not been attempted recently. During
the old regime, however, no serious doin g
was apprehended from the opposition
because the fullest confidence was felt
that neither the empire nor Prussia could
be endangered as long as the helm of the
state was in the hrm hands Of the old
emperor and his ministry. Cheers. !
To-day the same belief In the
solidity and stability of affairs
can hardly be said to exist You must
not care too much what foreign news
papers say about German Affairs although
the respect enjoyed by the empire in for
eign countries ought not to be under
valued As far as | can perceive German
interests have made progress recently in
only the one direction of our Polish COM
patriots What in old days could not have
happened ina hundred years has now come
TO pass The Poles have brought their votes
into the ministerial camp. What they
wish to obtain do not know, but they
remind me of the gift bearing Greeks.
cannot bring myself 10 believe that the
Polish nobility and clergy will remain
long in harmony with the ministry"
At the end Of his speech. Prince Bis
marck called on his visitors to Join him in
wishing long life to Prince Albert Of
Prussia, regent of Brunswick. "He has
always been gracious to me' said Prince
Bismarck, 'eyen since my retirement
from Office"

ADMIRAL TRYON DEFEATED.
A Spirit Of Mutual Assistance Lacking
In the Squadron.

Admiral Hornby Of the Opinion that
the Disaster Should Have Been
Avoided Despite the Fatal Signal--A
Lack of Confidence and Decision
Shown by the Officers of the Fleet.
London, July 22.-The English press is
revelling in desultary discussion of the
Victoria court martial at Malta. In or
binary trials the fear of punishment for
contempt of court in discussing cases un-
der judicial advisement keeps editors dis
creetly silent. No such punishment
threatens, however, in connection with
court martial proceedings, and therefore
the leader writer's are signing over the
folly of Admiral Tryon and the mistakes
which they attribute to his subordinates.
Admiral Hornby has varied this sort of
stuff by writing a manly letter to the
United Service Magazine in defense of
Admiral Tryon. ''Vacillation was the
last weakness" he says, "of which Ad-
miral Tryon could be accused. l believe
there was room TO avoid a collision if the
signal and general instructions had been
obeyed. There appears to have been an
absence of spirit of the mutual assist
ance which used to characterize the Medi-
terranean squadron"
SHOULD HAVE KEPT CLEAR.
Admirable Hornby adds in another par
agraph of his letter: "If as admiral, I
had had the misfortune as to make such a
mistake, / am confident that with hardly
an exception each captain would have
kept clear of the flagship, al
though several captains, with
good comrade Tryon at their head,
would have shaved the flagship IN order
to take a rise out of the chief. Why this
was not done on the present occasion is a
mystery Admiral Tryon's great object
was that the whole feet should move in
any direction as fast as the flagship.
There was no difficulty in this when
the officers acted in spirit
of cOmradeship and decision. The
disaster might have been avoided if the
officers of the feet had shown more con-
tidenCe and decision. The officers are eX-
pected to have their own opinions and to
act upon them in emergencies. 1t looks
to an old Mediterranean cruiser as if two
| things were wanting: First, quick ap-
probation Of facts; second, celebrity of in
dividual movement.
