A GOOD EFFECT,

And the Financial Atmosphere Is
Partially Cleared-said That New
York Bankers Have offered the
Treasury $f5,ooo,OoO TO $40, ,OOo,-
600 Gold.
NEW YORK, April 25.-The explicit
statement of President Cleveland that
the government would continue to pay
out gold for treasury notes as well as
for greenbacks, and that it never had
any, other intention, has aScceeded in
partially clearing the financial atmos-
phere. That the balance of trade, how
ever, is still against this country was
shown by the fact that $3.50, 600 more gold
was taken from the subtreasury during
the morning for export. Half of it was
paid in for treasury notes.
1T is expected said one bank presi-
dent, that we shall continue to ship
about So, 1000, 900 of gold week until
the demand is over that is until the
balance of trade is reversed or until
some of our unmarketed products are

the Chase National bank; Brayton
Ives, president OF the Western National
bank; Charles ]. Canada, ex-assistant

They were in consultation with Mr..
Jordan for some hours. During that
time George II. Coe, president Of the
American Exchange National bank,
called and saw Mr.. Jordan twice. Mr..
Coe declined to be quoted in relation to
Mr.. Cleyeland's statement ON tho situa-
tion. Mr.. Jordan and the bank officials
mentioned were in conference until 2
o'clock. 1t is rumored that the New
York banks, as the result of the confer
ence, would turn S15, 0O0, 900 or $40, OOO,-
600 of gold into the treasury. The con-
ferees uniformly aseline, in most enl-
phatic manner, to anticipate any action

MiIler's Story.
Miller, the man who was rescued
from the crib by the life saving crew,
has recovered sufficiently to give the
story of the tragedy. He said the crib
house was 50 dangerous that all hands,
10 in number, went down into the air
lock. They were quite comfortable
until the house was blown away. They
knew it was gone when the air pump
stopped working. This was about
o'clock. When the pump stopped the
air kept growing worse until $3.50
o'clock when it became so bad that it
was proposed by some to leave the lock
and take chances outside The subject
was discussed for some time and finally
all agreed to it as it was found they
Could Not Live Much Longer
where they were. Accordingly the air
lock was opened and the water allowed
to come in. Mcbride, Dwyer, Gregg,
johnson, Leikowitz and Miller sue
ceeded in getting out of the lock and to
the surface. To do this they had to
climb up through 10 feet of water. The
other nine, Miller says, could not find
the ladder and were drowned in the
lock. When he got on the crib he
wound the wire cable, which runs from
drum toward the shore, around his
arm and was then able to hold on until
the lifeboat arrived. He SAYS that
Dwyer, Gregg, johnson and Leikowitz
held on about half hour and then one
by one were swept away Mcbride held
on until within 10 minutes of the ar
rival of the boat and he too succumbed
and was washed off before the arrival
of the boat
