with generally a feeling of depression
growing out Of combination Of unfa-
vorable circumstances. Fresh failures
from various parts Of the country, and
the stringency Of money were good
foundation for the announcement of
the stoppage Of the India silver mints
A prominent banker who is one of the
heaviest silver dealers inb Wall street
said to reporter when the announce
ment came; ut is crushing blow to
silver. The effect will be paralyzIng
upon the whole silver market, and 1
think the settlement Of the silver ques-
ton in this country is now at hand
The mints have been opened for free
coinage, and such immense quantities
of silver have been presented by pri-
vate parties, and the circulation OF sill
yer has become so great, that the price
of the Indian rupee has been declining
steadily for months. This bought about
the suspension Of free coinage"

ANARCHISTS PARDoNED.

Springfield Ills, June 26.--Governor
Altgeld today pardoned Flelden, Niebe,
and Swab, anarchists, serving life sem
tences in Joliet penitentiary for COM
pncity In the Haymarset riot in Chi
cago on May 4, 1886, in which a large
number Of police were killed and
wounded, and for which Parsons, Spies
and others were hanged and over
whose graves monument was un-
yelled by Chicago anarchists yesterday
The governor takes the ground that
these men did not have a fair trial and
that the court was prejudiced.
After reviewing the history OF the
Haymarket riot the trial and convic-
ton of the men, the governor says the
people who urged executive clemency
based their appeal on the ground as
suming the prisoners guilty, but that
they had been punished enough. But
others assert that the jury which tried
the case was packed. and that accord
ing to law the jurors were not compe
tent and the trial is therefore not le
al. It Is further claimed that the de-
PENDANTS were not proved guilty of the
charges In the indictment, and that the
states attorney declares that there was
no case against Neebe; that the trial
judge was either so prejudiced or else
so determined to win the applause of
certain class that he did not grant
a new trial. After reviewing these
reasons the governor says:
IF the dependents had fair trial
there should be no executive interfer-
ence in this case" On the first propo-
sltion the government shows that the
jury was not selected in the usual
way, but that men We're summoned
who were known to be prejudiced
against the defendants. on the indlct-
ment question the governor says It
IS not known who threw the bomb.
He further shows that the actual
bomb-throwing was probably an act OF
vengeance by some one who had been
maltreated by Police Captain Bonfleld.
The governor also quotes a statement
made by the then chief Of police. Eber-
sold, from which 1t appers that the pol
cy Of a number Of police officials was
to stir up sentiment by largely exager-
ating the numebr and activity Of the
anarchists Ebersold is quoted as stat
ing:
II degin to think there was perhaps
not so much to the anarchy business as
they claimed"
The governor holds from this that
most Of the so called conspiraies were
really mere creations Of the police Of
ficers in search of glory and the reward
by subsequently discovering them. AS
to Neebe' innocense, the governor
quotes letter written by Mayor Har-
rison. in which It is shown there never
was any evidence against him.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
Disappointment at the Failure of the
Annexation Schemd

Disappointment at the Failure of the
Annexation Scheme
Honolulu, June 19.-As each success
i've steamer from San Francisco ar
rives at Honolulu bringing no news
that Hawaii's affairs will soon be set
tied by the United States, the disap-
polntment that permeates annexation
lists and royalists alike becomes keener.
Both parties are anxious to have the
vital question Of stable government
decided. The long strain Is beginning
to tell on both business and society.
Blount is much disappointed at not
receiving word by the last steamer
that his successor had been appointed.
The government claims to have au-
thentic information that Mr. Blount,
with the exception of few brief state
ments has not yet made a report to
the state department at washington
as to the result of his Investigations
here, and that his report will not be
sent ON for two weeks.

AN OBNOXIOUS LAW.

Chicago, June 26.-The following tele-

today signed by thirty-eight Of the
leading business houses of Chicago. It
Is understood that several others who

vate kilograms Of similar import to
favor the message sent to President
Cleveland: Believing that the Sher-
man silver law is one of the most Inn
portant factors contributing to the pres
eut depressed condition Of the national
finances, 1t is our earnest request that
the matter be discussed at the cabinet
meeting next convening. In our opin-
ion the immediate repeal Of this law
would do more to restore confidence
than any one thing, and believing 1t

ApPREHENsIoN IN pENvER.

Denver, Colo. June 26.-The unpre-
cedented decline in the price Of silver
today created apprehensions in Colo
rado. David II. Moffat, the largest
mine-owner In the state, said this even
ing to a representative Of the Associa-
ted Press: "1'he situation Is exceed
ingly grave, / wired all my managers
to come to Denver at once. Seventy
seven cents for silver mined by men
paid 50 day means loss to the mine
owner who has not fabulously rich
mine My idea is to propose to the men
in my employ that instead Of receiving
SO they should be satisfied with two
thirds OF the sum until silver shall re-
turn to a fairly reasonable price. II
they do not accept such a proposition
shall be compelled to shut down all
my properties"

The Collapse of a Kansas Hotel
Causes Several Fatalities.

The Collapse of a Kansas Hotel
Causes Several Fatalities.
Fort Scott, Kan, June 26.-The Ire
mont Hotel collapsed at half-past this
morning without warning. There were
100 occupants in 1t. 1t is believed five
or six were buried in the debris. The
house was a brick, four stories high.
The entire east wall fell, followed by
three floors and their load of occupants.
The danger Of other parts Of the build
ing falling prevents a thorough search
for the bodies in the ruins. Twenty
seven occupants have been taken from
the second story on the west side by
means of a ladder, and others escaped
through the regular exits. Ensie Col
well and Ida Morgan have been taken
from the wreck, badly hurt. but not
fatally. Mechanics are at work
strengthening the walls so that a
search can be made. 1t is believed the
accident was caused by the addition of
Mansard roof which was too heavy
for the foundation.

FAILURES OF A DAY.
Banks and Business Houses Suspend
and Others Resume Business.

Banks and Business Houses Suspend
and Others Resume Business.
Port Angeles, Wash, June 26.-The
First National Bank of this city sus-
pended shortly after opening its doors
this morning. The suspension was
caused by the sudden withdrawal of
deposits by several large depositors.
The officers of the bank saw that the
cash on hand would not hold out. so
they decided to suspend temporarily
until funds could be secured. The as
sets Of the bank are $142,000; liabilities,
SIS, 900; due depositors. $4,000. The
bsnk has been conducted on very con-
servative lines. and is in good condi-
tion. The suspension caused no ex-
citement, and confidence in an early
resumption is expressed by all parties.
The suspension will only cause tenn
porary embarrassment to a few.
Buffalo, June 26--The Queen City
Bank has failed.
The bank suffered a steady drain for
the past several weeks. After paying
out all its available cash, even to dimes,
nickels and pennies, the officers this
morning walked out and closed the
doors. It owes the depositors over
$4,000. The management claim the
depositors will be paid in full
San Francisco, June 26.-The firm of
s. &. G. Gump, extensive dealers in
art goods, made an assignment today.
The liabilities are placed at $4,000.
The assets of the firm are supposed to
exceed this amount. The cause of the
failure is attributed to the calling in
of loans.
/ Minneapolis, June 26.-The Bank of
New England has suspended payment
at least temporarily. A. j. Blethen
the president, says the depositors will
be paid in full.
New York, June 26.-A receiver has

THE PRICE OF SILVER,

Washington, June 26.-The market
price Of silver today reached the lowest
point in the history of that product.
On Saturday the London price. which
guides the director of the mint in
purchases for the government, was
81 IL pence. or about S1,S in this cvun-
try. This morning the price in London
was SO pence, or about 1873 in New
York. The cause of the depression is
assigned by Mr.. Preston, acting dlrec-
tor of the mint, as due to the rumor,
which is probably true, that India. one
of the largest silver consuming coun-
tries, is about to close it's mints to the
white metal.

DISCUSSING THE QUESTION.

Washington, June 16.-The president,
Secretary Carlisle, and the financial
officers Of the government generally re-
ceived the first authentic news of the
startling action of the government In
India in suspending silver coinage, from
the press dispatches. Carlisle immedi-
ately went to the White House, and
for nearly two hours discussed the
bearings of the action with the presi-
dent. The conference was renewed at
the presidents suburban retreat later
In the evening, and protracted far into
the night. The circumstances are re-
garded as far too serious to permit Of
any authentic expression of opinion
as to the policy of the United States
until all the facts are fully digested.
This much, however can be stated with
absolute confidence-that the action OF
the Indian government is regarded by
the United States as doing away with
the necessity for reconvening the in
ternational conference which was 70
meet again in Brussels this fall. 1t is
not believed the action was taken with
out express orders from the British
Government, which had the general su-
pervision and control over Indian af-
fairs.

fore it was clear, was the cause Of q COL
lision on the Pennsylvania railroad at

early this morning, in which four per-
sons were injured, one Of whom may
die.
The first section Of the fast line,
which leaves Harrisburg at 9;45 q, M,

dent TO the air brakes, While the en-
gineer was fixing the brakes the second
section came laundering along, and be.
fore it could be stopped the engine
crashed into sleeper on the rear end
OF the first train, in which there were
Henry W, Role, assistant professor Of
English literature at tho University Of
Pennsylvania; Arthur A, Stein, OF New
York; a young lady and an elderly man.
Prof. Nolfe was SO badly injured in
the spine that he will likely die.
Mr., Stein was pinned to the floor OF
the sleeper by his berth, with nothing
on his person but an undershirt He
pulled himself out OF HE perilous
position, and, breaking window near
him, reached tho ground. He was
severelyeut and bruised about the hip.
