| CHICAGO, June 24.-The announce

discussed filled the hall of the art pal
ace, where the bankers held their con.

financial problem was keen one. and
was closely followed by the bankers
present Both silver and anti-silver
men were present and spoke for their
beliefs. The first speaker was James
IL. Platt. of Colorado Mr.. Platt is a
firm believer in silver and stated his
views boldly. He said:
The remedy for the evils under
which we are now suffering is the
restoration of silver to its place as a
money, which it held successfully for
seventy-six years, until it was demon
etized. The safest way to Judge of the
future is by the past. For eleven years
the United States carried the double
standard alone among the nations
During that time we were the most
prosperous nation in the world. At
the very time when in that confused
night session the insidious amendment
was introduced which took the minting
privilege from silver we were paid sl32
for an ounce of silver. After maintain
ing for eleven years the standard of
silver alone among the nations of the
world, the white metal was at n pre-

| The Financial Situation Much Easier. ane
New York Banks More Confident.
NEW YORK. June 24.-BanlIs reported
an easier feeling in the west and said
that the demands for accommodation
for currency were much less. The at
tion of bankers to-day was mostly con-
centrated on the situation on the Pa
citic coast. At the sub-treasurv it was
said that S500,01J in currency was ex-
changed to-day for transfer to San
Francisco. Besides gold thus trans
ferred shipments of currency were
made direct to-day to the city by ex-
press, which made the aggregate
amount of money forwarded to-day
about 10000 and more will BE- sent
Tomorrow in the same way. 1t is be-
lieved that the help sent to San Fran
cisco from this city has relieved tn,
stringency there so that beyond the
failure of the Pacific bank no further
trouble is expected
DIR. X. II. Mcdonald, president of the
Pacific bank, who is stopping at the
AstOr house, was shocked when he
heard that the bank was closed. He
said: Though president of the bank,
have not been active in its manage
ment for some time. | am sufficiently
familiar with the affairs of the institu-
ton. however. to feel confidence that
there is no chance for any of the de-
positOrs to lose anything. | think it
will liquidate for almost the amount of
its capital and surplus 81, OOO, 900 and
sS0O,0OO respectively"
The sub-treasury began the pay ment
of interest on United States coupon
bonds due July 1. The number of cou-
pons presented for payment. however,
was not large. Holders of registered
bonds will probably get their checks
to-day. They will be paid as soon as
presented. The total amount of inter
est to be paid out by the government
in this city is about $1,000. 600. The
of this sum IS expected tc

market. Us it win. to some extent. re-
