MONEY BY WIRE.
Casting a Sheet Anchor
to WindWard.
BANKERS WILL BE READY.
Arrangements Made to Send Coin by
Telegraph From New York
to San Francisco.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Extensive ship
ments of money by telegraph from New
York to San Francisco were made TODAY
by direction of United States Treasurer
Morgan. The bank failures yesterday on
the Pacific Coast evidently spurred the
banks TO increase the supply of ready
money to meet any emergency that may
arise. This money is transferred in a
simple manner. The bank in San Fran
cisco telegraphs its New York CORE
sponGent TO place in the sub-treasury at
New York a given sum of money to its
credit to be sent to the San Francisco
bank. The Sub-Treasurer at New York
telegraphs the Sub Treasurer at San Fran
cisco TO credit the bank with a given
amount of money. ana the San Francisco
bank thus saves express charges and the
Government, which receives gold for the
money it transfers by telegraph. builds up
its gold supply. 1t is a mutual arrange
nent by which the banks and the Govern
ment are both benefited.
Secretary Carlisle has modified the no.
tice announcing that the prepayment of
interest would begin on Monday next
BE has now decided that the payment
may be made as fast as the delivery of
checks can be effected. and the Treas
urer of the United States and the several
Assistant Treasurers have been notified
accordingly.
New YORK. June 22.-The condition of
the banks IN California caused a good deal
of interest in Wall street to-day, and a
good deal Of bear" talk was INDUCED in
because some were reported to have
closed their doors. Many bank presidents
spoken to on the subject said in agreeing
to suspend the banks of Los Angeles and
San Diego had done the wisest thing they
could under the circumstances. Some
doubt was expressed as to whether the
treasury would really gain gold by trans
fer to San Francisco. currency not being
usually current in that part of the coun-
try. At the sub-treasury. however, it was
stated that while no doubt some of the
money SO transferred would lave to be
paid out in gold at San Francisco, large
part OF ii would be paid out in legal ten
ders.
The president of a large na,ioDal bank,
speaking to-day of the monetary strn-
gency ia California, said. Now this de-
mon Of distrust has reached the Pacific
Coast I hope it will disappear in the Pacific
Ocean, never 10 rise again, at least this
generation"
The sub Treasury transfers to San Fran
cisco ordered to-day amounted to S1,115,-
coo, and in addition about S5o0,uO0 in
money was sent to the Pacific Slope bv
express. Late on Wednesday S2C0, coo
was forwarded by express, and orders are
already in for the direct shipment of
100000 more to California. The money
going to the Pacific Slope mainly repre-
sents the balances to the credit of Cali
fornia banks. so that the withdrawal re-
suits in loss Of deposits to the New York
banks.

shares stock (6S. 1872 short).
An official OF the company said after the
meeting that foreclosure is now regarded
as inevitable. President Harris this after
noon issued statement to security holders,
which is in part as follows: "The board
of managers regret to announce the plan
of readjustment of May 27 failed to re-
ceive the assent of the holders of the
requisite number of shares and obligations
of the company. By the terms of the plan
it was provided that if the assent of a
requisite number Qncluding over 90 per
cent of the general mortgage bonds and go
per cent of shares) should be secured by
the 21st of June, the subscribers to the
proposed issue of collateral trust bonds
and general mortgage cOupon trust certlfl-
Gates will be released Subscriptions were
made upon this condition, and as it is not
possible at the present time to have snch
subscriptions renewed or extended, the
plan must now be abandoned and the SUBJ
scriptons released.
1T is possible many friends of the COM
pany in this city and New York, who have
united in asking that holders of Outstand-
ing shares and securities be given till after
the 1st of July, when the general mortgage
interest will mature. may be correct In
thinking the requisite number of assents
would thereby be secured. but new
subscription to the proposed issues of col
lateral trust and coupon trust certificates
would also be required. and this cannot be
made up"
The managers adopted a resolution re-
leasing subscribers to the proposed issue Of
collateral trust bonds and general mort
gage coupon trust certificates, also dis
charging from all liability the general
mortgage bondholders and shareholders
who have assented TO the plan.

was 81, $4,000 which brings the total up to
S4,9000O0. So far the banks have re-
mained in good condition and the Clearing

uneasiness still prevails in banking circles
on account of the Western and Pacific
Coast bank troubles. All day the banks

ceiving bad news from California, par
tieuarlY from Los Angeles, together with
demands for currency.
The bankers do not, as rule. place

way here is regarded as a mere drop in the
bucket.

Wind and RAIN.
The State Visited by Another Severe
Storm.
Wind Bowling Along a Fifty-Mile
Gait. and a Warm Rain FALL
Ing Generally.

The gloomy fog has at last been dis
! PEELED, but it is doubtful whether the
/ weather that succeeded it has given better
general satisfaction. Yesterday morning
a fierce windstorm set in from the south
east, accompanied by rain, and now it
looks as if the farmers are going to be
thrown behind several weeks more in
their plowing.
The W Gather Bureau reports show the
barometer to have been falling steadily
for the forty-eight hours up to 2. N.
yesterday, the readings at 5 A. NJ. and )
2. N. being respectively 29.74 and 29.42
inches, fall Of 80 of an inch in twelve
/ hours, and it was still falling. At $50
P. NJ. it had receded TO 29.3S inches, which
is the lowest ever recorded, save once.
and that was on the 22d Of February, 1891,
when it fell to the extremely low point Of
29.l0 inches.
The records show that on the Dist, 22d
and I'D OF that month the wind just sim
ply howled through the streets Of Sacra-
mento at a velocity of from 40 to 90 miles
per hour. and the three days gave over
five inches of rain
& This storm seems to be one whose CEN
ter struck the coast somewhere north Of
Cape Mendocino.
During the storm yesterday and up to
p. NJ, there was .S6 of an inch OF rain
measured, making 1881 inches for the
season, as against 5.74 inches to a CORE
spending date last year.
This IS certainly a bad time for any ex-
tensive or continued rainstorm. Neces-
sarily it must all run of into the already
swollen streams.
The wires were either down OF working
so badly during the day that no reports
from the Weather Bureau stations We're
received, consequently it is not known
how low the barometer is nor how last
| the wind has Travelled at other points,
The wind yesterday travelled from thirty
TO 1orty miles per hour in Sacramento,
reaching a maximum velocity of from
forty-eIght to tiIty-siX miles per hour.
Inc only reports received up to P. NJ.
SAID Director Barwick last night, were
from Red Bluff, Eureka and San Fran
cisco. The barometer read at 5 =. NJ.
800 inches at Red Bluff, a at Eureka,
29 40 at san Francisco, and 2g.42 at Sac
ramento. The lowest barometer is,
| therefore, at Eureka and San Francisco.
The storms center must be passing
over this State eastward from Eureka.
The rainfall for the storm up to P. NJ.
was l.72 inches for Red BIutf, Sc of an
inch for san Francisco, and 40 of an
inch for Eureka.
The heavy rains in the Upper Sacra-
mento and at the headwaters of the
American give promise Of high water in
the Sacramento in the next few days.
In this city no damage was reported
from the storm except that caused by
some rain going through leaky roofs. J.
| w. Hughes, the lawyer, was a sufferer
from this cause He doubtless thinks
that water is TOO thin" by the way it
crept in through the roof of his Office yes
terday, damaging his books and docu-
ments and badly discoloring the frescoing
and carpets.
Rain was falling in the mountains last
night as far up as Cisco, but at the sum
init 1t was showing. The storm was not
heavy one, the rain falling lightly and
in occasional showers.
