CASTING THE LIBERTY BELL.
Thousands of Historical Relics Contained
in Its Composition.


Troy, N. Y, June 6.-[Special. Ito
morrow the metal for the great liberty
bell to be exhibited at the Worlds fair
will be run into the mould prepared for
its reception in the Meneely Bell foundry
here. The big mould will be placed in a
pit dug in the earth Immediately in front
of the furnace, with which it will be con-
nected by spout for the transfer of the
more than six tons of metal that will be
utilized in its makeup. The two iron
cases that will form the skeleton of the
mould as they now stand would fill good
sized room. This is the third great lib
erty bell cast in this country. The first
of the series, and the one to which the
greatest interest attaches, is the famous
bell that rang forth from the belfry of the
old state house in Philadelphia the news
of the signing of the declaration of indie
pendence, in July, 1776.
In the centennial year, 1876, a bell
weighing 13, 900 pounds was cast and hung
in the tower of the old state house in the
has cast on it, in circle about the iron,
the inscription: ''Proclaim liberty
throughout the land unto all the inhabi-
tants thereof" This bell is still in daily
use az an adjunct to the clock in the tower
of Independence Hall, as the old state
house is now called.
The third bell, that to be cast today,
will be an exact reproduction OF the sec
ond as to size, weight, etc., but with a
different inscription. The new bell will
be an object CT great interest, as it will
contain in its composition thousands of
historical relics. The Daughters of the
Revolution have been busy for months
collecting an endless assortment of his
toric bits of metal that will be melted
down with the bell metal.

SPOKANE BANKS SUSPEND.
Officials Say Depositors Will Be
Paid in Full.
RUN ON CHICAGO BANKS.
The Illinois Trust and Savings Bank
Continues to Pay.
Phil Armour Calls in One Hundred De-
positors and Then Assures Them
of the Banks Solidity-Other
Banks Closed.

SPOKANE, Wash. June 6.-The Wash
ington National bank and its adjunct the
Washington Savings bank closed its doors
this morning crippled by quick run
yesterday. Both shows strong assets in
excess of liabilities but could not get
money in time for the sudden whirl.
Other banks are being subjected to a
severe run.
At 2 O'Clock this l1ternoon the Citizens
National bank closed its doors. 1t is re-
ported here and apparently on reliable
authority, that the Palouse City bank of
Palouse has also suspended.
The three banks have assets largely in
excess of liabilities, and have been con-
Quoted with sound management. They
were caught in the sudden whirl and
furry, the public suddenly became
alarmed, and the distance from
money circles prevented a timely
fertilization. When banking hours ar
rived this morning the Washington Ma
tional and Washington Savings banks, al
lied institutions, failed to open their
doors. They had been subjected to a
heavy run the day before and although
they had made arrangements for money,
1t failed to arrive in time. This startled
the public and runs were started on all
the banks.
By O'Clock it had almost entirely sub
sided, but relief came too late for the Cit
izens' National, which closed its doors at
2 o. clock. Other banks stood the strain
with no visible signs of weakening, and
| since they have been strengthening them
selves, the worst of the furry is believed
| to be over. 1t is generally believed that
there will be no more suspensions.
The officers of the Citizens National
are e. B. Hyde, president; B. G. Van
Honten, vice president; A. A. Newberry,
cashier. Congressman John L. Wilson
! is a heavy stakeholder. Mr.. Hyde said
tonight that his bank would pay every
| depositor in full, and that enough would
remain to hold the stock at premium.
The deposits at the time of the suspen-
sion were slightly in excess of $500, 600,
while against this the bank has more
than S400, 900 in bills receivable.
The officers of the Washington Ma
tional are Henry L. Tolton, president;
A. M. Cannon, vice president; E. Good
all, cashier. Mr.. Goodall said they
would pay everything in full and that the
banks assets were largely In excess of its
liabilities

ALL Is QUIET IN HAWAII.
Annexationists Will Be Satisfied,
They Say, with a Protectorate.
sPRECKELS' ANTAGONIST.
He Is Making a Vigorous Campaign
Against Annexation.
Rumors Are Afloat That the RoyaIists
Intend 10 Restore the Queen to the
Throne by Force of Arms = The
Story Is Not Believed.

HONOLULU, May 3O.-Affairs political
have quieted considerably during the
past five days. The Nordhoff affair has
been dropped by the provisional govern
ment, and though the usual number of
alarming rumors have been in circula-
ton, the people failed to give them Gus
tomary credence. Dispatches from Wash
ington, stating that Minister BIount's
report was undoubtedly against annexa-
ton was believed by many people of both
parties. The annexationists now say they
will be satisfied with a protectorate in
Surfing a stable government. The royal
lists, on the contrary, say the claim they
have made all along, that there will be no
annexation, has been verified and the
queen is to be reinstated. They say that
Minister Blount will report that she was
removed from the throne by the power of
the United States through Minister
Stevens, and no other honorable course
remains but to use the same power to put
her back.
Claus Spreckels seems the most power
ful antagonist the provisional goverR-
ment has. He is making a vigorous cana
paign against annexation. 1t is gener-
ally admitted that the resignation OF Min
lister of Finance Porter is due to the in
fuence of Spreckeis. In the nope that
the government would be embarrassed
instead, however, Vice-President Damon,
one OF the strongest men of the islands,
stepped into the breach and took charge
of the department.
On Monday Spreckels notified the gov
eminent that he wanted the immediate
payment of $95, 900 worth of demand notes
held by him. Damon said the govern
ment would have no trouble in paying the
debt, although as taxes do not come in
until fall the government is embarrassed
to a certain extent.
| On May 20 Hon. J. s. Walker, for
many years prominent figure in Island
politics, died of aneurism. He came to
Honolulu thirty -eighJ years ago and was
minister to France Six years under King
Kalaiauna.
| Among the alarming rumors floating
about Honolulu is one to the effect that
the Royalists are secretly arming and that
on June IL, Kamehame's birthday,
which is celebrated here as a national
holiday, they will attempt a coup and re-
store the queen to the throne. Although
few tinid people profess to believe the
tale, most of the annexatlonists look upon
| it as a hoax.

Grant Locomotive works Assign

Chicago, June s.-The great Grant
Locomotive works, recently removed here
from Patterson, N. j., filed voluntary
assignment this afternoon. Liabilities,
$40 600; assets, 81, 10000, of which 1857,
900 is in Chicago.
The cause of t. 9 embarrassment is the
fact that the company invested all it's
capital stock in it's plant. 1t has been
working on a large order for locomotives
and tied up large amount of money in
them. AS they cannot be realized upon
until delivered, and as the company has
been delayed by a strike which has been
on the past three months and owing,
furthermore, to the stringency of the
money market, the stockholders today
decided that all parties interested would
be better protected by putting the pro-
perty into the hands of an assignee.

CHICAGO, June Elm spite of the fact
that the Illinois Trust and Saving bank
remained open until O'Clock this morn
ing to give anxious depositors a chance
to draw funds, new line began TO form
before O'Clock this morning, and at 10,
the hour for opening, between 200 and

with their savings books. The crowd was
several times larger than at any time
yesterday. The bank is considered aDso-
lutely sound; the assets are figured up at
over S2S,O00,000, and its stockholders are
estimated to be worth in the aggregate
fully $50,000000. At the other savings
banks the runs which began Yesterday
seem to have increased in size.
During the time when the run on the
Illinois Trust bank was the hottest this
afternoon, Philip D. Armour, the mill
lionaire packer, sent out some of his
clerks to bring into his office a hundred
or more of the most excited depositors,
mostly women. To these Mr.. Armour
made a brief speech, assuring them that
the bank was all right, and adding that
Armour & Co. will guarantee to each of
them the full amount of their deposit.
If any of them are not satisfied with this
let them speak up and he would give
them their money. Two women asked
for the amount and the deposits were i'm
mediately paid in gold, while the re-
mainder OF the people went away salts

any extent necessary, and not issue

the situation be apparent at the time OF

i've branch OF the government shall have
