THE WALL STREET FURRY.
Views of Henry Clews Regarding the
Financial Depression.


Financial Depression
NEW YORK, May 4.-Henry Clews
voiced the feeling OF the more conserva-
tive Wall street men when he said today:
''There are times when big mems souls,
as well as their pockets, are tried. If the
latter is well filed, however, together
with clear head, opportu mites are al
forded for quick movements in the mat
ket- 1t would be good policy to buy good
stocks hereafter on pronounced breaks
for fair profits which succeeding rallies
will bring 1t must be remembered that
prices are now fully as low on an average
as those in the beginning of the panic
OF 1890, that was worlds panic while
this is but local one, at any rate 1t is
confined within the boundaries of our
own country.
II am quite OF opinion that today will
eradicate the weak spots and make
stronger bottom for good stocks than
they have had for some time past.
Squalls come periodically, and after we
get over this one we viii be exempt from
another for several years to come. This
is the experience of the past, and the
present upheaval will not be unlike former
ones IN that respect -
William Shearer. manager of the Clear
ing House association, regarded the cause
Of the present depression in the market as
an effect of the so-called Sherman bill,
with the accompanying idea that the
United States treasury cannot pay out
gold below the hundred million reserve
1.-THE situation as / see it, - he continued,
lis liquidation as a result of the idea of
scarce gold and trimming down where
trimming can best be done.''

A NEW PLAN.
One Attributed to Secretary Carlisle to
Protect the Gold Reserve.

One Attributed to Secretary Carlisle to
Protect the Gold Reserve
New YORK, May 4.-From a member
OF one OF the leading banking firms in
this city a synopsis of a plan attributed
to Secretary Carlisle to protect the gold
reserve was obtained today. The banker
from whom the information was obtained,
said: "The plan would be for the banks
to pay out to customers and in part set
Element of their balances that article
for which they now hoard gold which
does not involve the boarding of green
backs by the treasurer, and thus put in
active movement a larger part of their
present reserve.
''Would it not be well for the banks, -
said the banker, ''to meet and take these
suggestions into serious consideration?
and thus put the boards of gold at the
service of the community. They would
save losses caused by the continual strin-
genCy to the mercantile community and
relieve the pressure of continual sales at
the stock exchange which latter help,
however, is wholly subordinate to the
help thus afforded TO the merchants of the
whole country by adopting this plan.

DAsrARDLY OUTRAGE.
An Attempt to Wreck an Erie Express
Train in Illinois.

Train in Illinois.
LIMA, o., May Am attempt was
made last night to wreck the we5tbOund
express on the Lake Erie and Western
road. A heavy shipment of money was
on the train and that was what the
wreckers were after. At the foot OF a
grade, about three quarters OF mile west
of Paxton, ILL.,, near curve, an obstruc-
ton of ties were spiked together and
placed across the track. The robbers lay
in ambush. But the express train was
behind time and right of way was given
to a second class passenger train. This
train came against the obstruction and
the engine and two coaches were ditched.
No one was injured but great excitement
prevailed.
A heavy freight train was following the
accommodation closely. A hagman
started back when he was suddenly con-
fronted by hIghwaymen with revolvers
and compelled to return to the wreck.
The brakeman notified the train crew
who started in body and were not mo-
Tested. After stopping the freight an
alarm was sent over the wire to both
Paxton and Peoria.
Great excitement prevailed at both
places and posse was promptly organ
lied for the purpose of securing the sur
rounding country in search for the fu-
gitives, but without result

THE BURsr REsERyolR.
Damage Caused viii Aggregate More
Than 100000.

LEWISTON, o., May 4.-The Great
Miami river has its source in Lewiston
reservoir, which broke yesterday. The
first break took away 100 feet of waste
way, and the great rush of water carried
away the long covered bridge Just below.
Soon another fifty feet OF wasteway broke
and in short time the entire country
for three miles south was inundated for
distance OF three miles in width. Colonel
Perkins, chief engineer, is on the scene
doing everything that can be done to re-
pair the damage Estimates on the res
ervoir loss is $160, 900, the loss in Logan
county in displaced bridge and washed
out roads is S120. 900. and farmers along
the river lose fences and crops. The
water is still spreading over the country
around Lewiston, and as level Is reached
the river will rise rapidly. People be-
tween Degraf and Sidney are watching
anxiously for the result as the high water
mark of the past will be more than
reached, the low ground being ir great
danger. The warning has been ample,
however, and no loss OF life is anticipated.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, May IA young
woman, who within the past few days
has pawned between $500 and $500 worth
of diamond iewelry in this city, was ar
rested tonight in a Grand street pawn
shop. When taken to the police head
quarters she said her name was Jennie
Dale and she lived at 80 Berry street.
The police went to her home and on the
third floor found Frenchman, who gave
his name az Eugene Loceux, and said thai
he was the Woman's husband. The
apartment was searched and more than
1000 diamond rings and forty bracelets
were found.
A jeweller was called to appraise the
find and said the lot, which was of first
quality and in his opinion of foreign
manufacture, was worth about $50, COO.
1t is thought the goods were Struggled
into the country, and the man and wo-
man agents for some persons extensively
engaged in smuggling. Both Loceu1 and
the woman were locked up. The police
are still prosecuting the investigation and
expect to soon make further arrests.

Santiago De Cuba Declared to Be in

WASHINGTON, May 4--secretary
Gresham has received letter from the
United States consul-general at Havana,
dated April 20, forwarding a copy OF the
proclamation issued April Is, by the
Governor General of Cuba, declaring the
province of Santiago de Cuba in state of
siege. The CONSUL general says, accord
ing to newspapers, the reVolutionists
number about a hundred persons, while
rumor gives the number all the way from
500 to 900 men.
Secretary Gresham said this morning
that no kilograms had come to him today
and he was not advised of the reported
surrender of the insurgent bands. No re-
port of any contemplated filibustering ex-
pedition was received from the commander
of the revenue cutter Etclane now sta
toned off the Florida coast, and it is
therefore inferred by revenue marine off,
Gals that no filibustering movement has
ever been in serious contemplation. Dis

TREATED coNTEMPTUoUsLY.

The Offer of Syndicate to Help the
Northern Pacific Withdrawn.
NEW YORK, May 4.-The Tribune says;
A letter has been sent to officers OF the
Northern Pacific railway by Brayton
Ives, president of the Western National
bank, formally withdrawing the offer
made him on behalf of a powerful syndi-
cate to undertake the funding of the
floating debt of the Northern Pacific at
per cent for five years. Ives says he
wrote this letter simply because his pre-
vious communication brought no an
swer from the officers of the company.
His action, however, has revived in Wall
street criticisms that have been levelled
against the company's management.
Some stockholders express their views in
vigorous language. The proposition of
the syndicate was made most conrteously
and has been treated with contemptuous
silence.

Allen s. Co., of New York, Assign-Lia-

NEW York, May 4.-Allen q Co. have
made an assignment. Late today Mr..
Norton, of She firm, said they hoped to
be able to resume bust ness in day or
two. He thought the firm had resources
that would put it upon its feet soon, and
every account on the books had q trust
worthy customer behind it. The extent
of the failure is yariously estimated at
from $500, 900 to 81 SOC, 600, but as the
statement of account is not completed,
these estimates are not altogether trust
worthy.
The general opinion among brokers is
that the failure of Smith & company
viii not be an extensive one, and they
Will be able TO resume again.
Schuyler Walden said his failure was
due to the drop in Cordage and failure OF
his customers to respond to calls for
margins.
