1t ID good deal Of money to put in house,
and in this respect Mr.. Heinrich probably now
stands at the head Of the list The contract
price for Mr.. Letters large house on Dupont
circle was $3.50 but it will probably cost
more before it is finished. He paid over
S100. 900 for the ground. The home Of Mr.. b.
H. Warder probably cost him $50, 600 while il il
told as . fact that the late Senator Hearst paid
over 4200, 900 for the interior finishing, deco
ration and furnishing Of his house. II he spent
any such amount on these details the property
would represent total expenditure Of about
$500. 900. But this latter is unusual figure.
There are very few private residences In this
city that have cost more than 500 900. One
half that amount will build a large house,
handsomely finished and decorated There are
few houses in the city that are better finished
more richly decorated than ex-senator Saw
yers residence, on Connections avenue, yet the
lease be recently gave to Senator Stockbridge
carried the privilege of purchase at the stipu-
lated price OF sl25.000. This figure, no doubt.
represents the total cost of the property, house
and ground, with fair margin of profit.

Native reports from Kalgan give narrowing
details OF the ravages caused by the famine in

Chen. The famine was caused by severe
drouth extending over period OF six months.
About three-fifths Of the people endeavored to
travel southwark in hope Of obtaining relief. but
. large number OF them succumbed to the bit
ter cold and hunger. Some grain dealers from
Shansi made enormous profits by meeting the

OFFICIAL STATE PAPER.

States allows England forever to dictate
her financial policy, as she has done
since the war, then we must take the
consequences. But il the American peo-
pie have any independence Of character
left, they win not do so.
"The international conference is gone
with the stoppage Of the mints Of India.
What is there left to do but for the
western continent, under the lead Of the
United States, to unite and act indie
pendently and establish q financial sys-
tenn founded upon equity and calculated
to ESecure stability in value, and one
which will keep an even balance between
debtor and creditor, not one calculated
to rob with impunity, the debtor for the
benefit Of the creditor"
An important feature Of the matter is
that some OF the largest silver mines
have shut down and others are prepar-
ing to do 30 very soon. Thousands Of
miners will be thrown out Of employ
ment.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-05
Restricting State Banks.

To guard against such bank failures
as some Of those which have recently
occurred in the state, Commissioners
Breidenthsl has issued the following
circular:
To the State Banks of Kansas:
TOPEKA, KAs., June 30-Plesse take
notice that hereafter you will not be
permitted to make loans to your stock
holders who are unable TO give security
other than their stock in the bank. In
making loans TO stockholders you will
require the same security that is re-
quired form other borrowers. All loans
secured alone by the stock Of your bank,
will after August l, 1893, be considered
as worthless and must be charged of.
The item "Other stocks and bonds at
their present cash market value" in the
official statement required to be made
by the provisions Of SecSion 1S of the
banking law, the commissioner holds
should contain only such stocks and
bonds as have current market value,
and such as can be readily converted
into cash. The purchase of large blocks
Of the stock Of local milling, msnufac-
turing and other companies, including
tOwnsite, loan and investment companies,
will not be permitted All such invest
ments will be considered as loans and
will be subject to the provisions of Sec
ton IA Of the banking law, and where
the loan or purchase OF stock is excessive
the provisions Of section II will apply.

MUST SILVER co?
Another Pierce Fight Over the Question
Will Soon Occur.
TIE PRESIDENT ISSUES A GALL.
He Ignores the Wishes Of the People and
Pleads For the Gold Gamblers.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The fight against
silver and in favor Of tho gold standard
iS again on and with more eSrneStneaS
than it has ever been before. Through
o concerted arrangement between the
Wall street and English "finanCiSrs" the
council Of India, on June 26, passed an
act closing the mints OF the country
against the free coinage Of silver. The
Earl Of Kimberly, lord president Of the
council, stated publicly that the intsn-
tioR Of the government wSs to make gold
the sole legal tender.
The effect OF this might have been e1-
peCted. The price Of silver bullion fell
in three days to 68 cents an ounce, which
was less than 63 cents on the dollar.
The pressure that had been brought to
bear on members Of cOngresssfor months
was increased, and tho president was be-
sieged, as he probably wanted to be, by
the gold gamblers Of New York, who
now had q new argument to prove that
the repeal Of the Sherman law was the
only thing that would save the country
from the bow-wows. Below 10 q sample
Of tho thousands Of circulars that were
sent out during the week:
A GREAT FINANCIAL CRISIS.

not be to save ths.Sherman law, but to
substitute free coinage bill in its stead.
The American Bi-metsllic League will
have meeting in Chicago July 25. Gen.
Warner, president Of the league, says:
81 consider the present movement with
regard to silver the most important eco
nomic revolution in oil history. It Ia
the life and death struggle, not only for
bi-metallism, but for metallic money. II
bi-metsllism goes, mono-metallism will
also 60, and the principle Of automatic
regulation Of money, that is, regulation
through the production Of mines, will
come to an end"
In previous interview Gen. Warner
said:
"The stOppage Of the coinage Of silver
In India ia an Inauguration Of o new
monetary revolution, or rather an exten-
sion to the far east of the revolution
which began in lS72-73 in the western
world. It ia the second act In the same
great conspiracy. It's movements are
deep-sested and will be fsr.reaching in
it's consequences. look upon this sci
Of India, by which the gatewsys Of the
east are closed TO silver, together with
the determined purpose OF the mono
metallists of this country to repeal the
Sherman act, are events fraught with
greater danger to men than anything
that has before transpired within the
century.
"Whst becomes now Of the claim that
the United States must stop the pur-
chase Of silver in order to force England
to join in an international agreement
England has determined, il possible, to
force the repeal Of the silver purchase
act in the United States. The closing
of the India mints is part of a gigantic
conspiracy to seize upon the present Op-
portunity to establish finally and for
ever q single gold standard and to sx-
tend it over the world.
"Thls is a critical juncture. The turn
ing point is now. If free coinage were
restored in the United States it would
be the end Of the single gold standard.
On the other hand, IL an absolute repeal
Of the present silver law in the United
States can be forced, the work ls done.
1t, therefore, is deemed safer to stop tie
coinage in India first.
'SThe immediate consequences will be
that silver will fall, and gold will in
crease faster in value than ever. The
prices will soon begin to fall in India.
The whole world in time will feel the
effect of the contamination Of this last
act Of the gold conspirators. Prices will
continue to fall everywhere as gold
rises. The end no one can see. Every
advantage will inure to the creditors
and the creditor nations. England has
set out to subdue the world, not with
arms, but with gold, by turning every
thing to gold.

AN EXTRA SESSION.
On June %, just before starting for a
summer outing at BuzzardS bay, the
president took time to issue the follow
ing proclamation:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WARRINGTON, d. G., June 30, 1893.
Whereas, the distrust and spprehen-
SION concerning the financial situs-
tion which perVade oil business circles
have already caused great loss and dam
age to our people, and threaten to Grip
pie our merchants, stop the wheels Of
manufacturing, bring distress and priva-
tion to our farmers, and Withhold from
our working men the wage Of labor; and
Whereas, the perilous condition is
largely the result Of financial policy
which the executive branch Of the gov
eminent finds embodied in unwise laws
which must be executed until repealed
by congress;
Now, therefore, ], Grover Cleveland,
president OF the United States, in per.
Torrance Of . constitutional duty, do by
this proclamation, declare that an ex-
trRordinary occasion requires the con-
Yening Of both houses Of the congress of
the United States at the capitol In this
city Of Washington, on the 7th 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 to act Rs members
Of the Fifty-third congress are required
to take notice Of this proclamation and
attend at the time and place above
stated.
Given under my hand and the seal OF
the United States, at the city Of Wash
ington, on the 3Oth day Of June, in the
year Of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and ninty-three, and Of the in
dependence Of the United States, the
one hundred and seventeenth.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
So We are to have an extra session. and
the gold bugs are chuckling and shaking
hands with each other in their confidence
that congress win hand over to Wall
street the whole management Of the
country's finances. This, however, will
not be accomplished without q fierce
fight The effort Of the silver men will
