Relief Looked For
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.--Thc overshadow
ing feature of the financial situation has
come to be the scarcity Of money. From
all over the country there has been a
continual demand for bills of small de-
nomination, and New York has re-
spondcd so freely to the requests of out
of town banks that NOW the metropolis
itself is suffering from what very closely
approaches currency famine.
The banks of Chicago, Philadelphia
and Boston are blamed for the present
situation to the extent that they have
failed to take proper measures of relief,
and New York has been called upon to
supply the whole country. To do this,
the banks here have taken out clearing
house loan certificates to the amount of
$33, 100000.
The developments of the last few days
prove concluslvcly the wisdom of the
savings banks presidents i'll deciding to
enforce the time clause rule. Difficulty in
getting currency was what prompted
their action, and if the drain from that
source had not stopped promptly the
situation now would not be what it is.
Some relief is looked for when the gold
reaches here and more as soon as the
comptroller OF the currency is able to
begin delivering the new circulation or
dered by the national banks.

TOPEKA, Kas., Aug. 4,-The exodus of
Colorado miners continues through
Kansas, proving a heavy burden to Wes-
tern farmers and source of great an
noyance to the railroads. The tramp
trains on several roads carry from 200 to
400 each day going cast, and the regular
trains are still besieged by idle and des-
titute miners who are determined to get
out of the country.
The crowds are so great in
Denver that the first class pas
senger trains are frequently backed
away from the depot and then run
through the station at full speed in order
to prevent men from jumping on. Trains
that refuse to stop are peltcd with rocks
aud clubs. In some instances trains are
accompanied through Kansas by guards
OF soldiers to avoid any interference with
regular travel by these flying laborers.
Kansas farmers hire them along the
route whenever they are able to do so
and many of the men have accepted work

rope.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Dr. Talmadgc of
the quarantine board of health, boarded
and inspected the passengers. All on
board were well. The Kar amania ar
rived at quarantine yesterday after
long voyage from the cholera affected
port of Naples. During the voyage three
passengers died audwere buried at sea. AS
the ships surgeon did not specify the
disease from which the passengers died,
the vessel was held for fumigation and
disinfec ton. A suspicion prevailed that
the disc ase was asiatic cholera. but moth
ing definite could be learned last night.
After inspecting the passengers this
morning the health officers ordered the
transfer boats to take them to the Islands
until all doubts of the existence of chol-
era are removed.
DIR. Jenkins says that while he can find
no evidence that there has been cholera
on board he deems the cir cumstances suffi-
GENTLY suspicious to hold the vessel.
In appearance the Karamania is not a
very attractive vessel. She has the as
pcct of a tramp steamer, and is, in fact,
a Mediterranean fruiter during the season.
She is built of iron, is 314S tons gross
measurement and rigged as schooner.
She was built in 1882 and is little bet
ter than floating oven with lack of
both light and ventilation. In this YES
sci nearly 500 souls spent 21 days of
warm weather cramped for room and
air.
The first death on the steamer was
given as "congestion of lungs" The
other two cases had cramps, diarrhea
and vomiting.
DIR. jenkins says: MANY of the symp-
toms of the last two cases resemble
cholera. There is no need of alarm.
The ship and passengers will be detained
until we have absolute proof that there
is no danger in landing her passengers"
LONDON, Aug. 4.-According to the
Lancet cholera has been epidemic in
Marseilles for the last three months.
During the last four weeks there have

cholera in Naples more than 100000
residents have fled from the city. On
Sunday last there were SO new cases and
% deaths, and 40 new cases 27 deaths
on Monday. Several cases of cholera
