MIR. Bell and His Pension.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. At has
just leaked out from the archives of the
pension bureau that Deputy Commits
sioner Bell. who has made numerous
public statements severely condemning
the disability pension of Judge Long and
others, was himself in the same boat
with the pensioners, who are now hauled
up for his scrutiny. Up to the 3lst of
May last he drew a disability pension
of $12 month for loss of teeth, indi-
gestion and heart disease" alleged to be
the result of his military service. The
decision by Assistant Secretary Rey-
nolds, which placed the able-bodied vet
Grams beyond the pale Of the pension
able, was rendered on the 9th of May.
Four days later, on the 31st, Mr.. Bell
addressed a letter to the commissioner
in which he resigned his pension. de-
claring that he had considered himself
entitled to it under the former decision,
but thought under the Reynolds ruling
he was no longer entitled to draw that
amount Deputy Commissioner Bell be-
ing asked if the statement about his
having drawn a disability pension for
himself was true, replied: Il supposed
that thing would come out sooner or
later. Yes, it's true"

George GouId,s Statement.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-George Gould
was a passenger on the American liner
New York, which arrived at her dock
this morning. Asked regarding the
financial situation. he said:
THE situation. OF course, is very much
demoralized. The main cause is the
unsettlement of conditions due to the
silver question. There is another cause.
however. that the public is not so wei
aware of, and that is the hostile atti-
tude assumed by the legislatures of the
country toward the great railroad cor
porations. Instead of trying to build
them up, the policy of the state and
general governments is to pull them
down and make them worthless The
people forget that the country cannot
be prosperous unless the great trans
portation corporations also prosper"
What is the cause of the reduction
in the force of travelling agents and
clerks on the Missouri Pacific and Rock
Island systems p
There is no necessity for keeping a
large force of men on a salary list when
there is nothing for them to do. We
discharged these men because we could
not continue employing them at an
advantage. Business has never been
more stagnant in the Southwest than at
the present time, and l look for no
change unless there Is something done at
washington. The repeal of the Sher-
man law will bring us all back to pros
perity, but we may hope for nothing
until congress acts, and in just that
way"

DEMAND FOR SMALL BILLS.
Money Brokers Report an Increased
business Mt New York.


NEW YORK, Aug 5.-The demand for
small bills and coin was not lessened to-
day, although it had been hoped that
the needs of corporations and business
houses for money for their pay-rolls had
been supplied. In fact the money brokers
reported a larger business than ever.
They continued to buy gold and silver
and currency at premiums of half to
three-quarters of one cent and sent the
money so obtained to banks all over the
country, but principally to Chicago, Phil
adelphia and Boston. They also reported
that many Of the New York banks were
among their customers, being forced into
the market by the demands of their de-
positOrs. 1t was reported on good au-
thority. although Wall-st. was skeptical
as to the truth of the story, that such
Of the gold now afloat for this country
as had not been secured by the savings
banks, had been sold to out of town
banks at a premium of IL per cent.
The larger importing houses denied that
they had sold their gold, although they
admit that offers for it had been made
to them.
The sub-treasury paid its balance of
s1s.O5S at the clearing house in currency.
There was paid out over the counter on
checks $5S5, 600, mostly in gold. with a
sprinkling of treasury notes. OF silver
dollars $4,000 were paid out.
Few events in the history of waIl-st
have been more astonishing and sensa-
tional than this weeks rapid advance
of stock market prices. in the face of
a money situation critical in the extreme
Some time ago, in commenting on the
violent declines of that time reference
was made to the well known Characters
tics of protracted speculative movements
by which the advance or decline reflect
ing at the outset real conditions, is GER
tain to carry prices beyond the bounds
Of reason. That this was done by the
recent manipulators for the decline has
long been evident. So dark and hopeless
did the outlook seem that the leading
bear spectators were tempted to in
crease their contracts on the short side
to an unprecedented volume. They were
followed, as apparently successful leaders
in Wall-st. always are, by a great and
indiscriminate rabble Of small specula-
tors. The result was that, when an up
ward turn in the market actually came
the demand for stocks to take profits on
the speculative sales was enormously
greater than the supply offered at mar
ket prices. In particular the violent col
lapse on Wednesday Of last week. when
a panic seemed imminent, had led this
calss of operators to believe that every
one was ready TO sell. But the event
proved, what no one then realized, that
the forced liquidation of that gloomy
day came chiefly from the Chicago pro-
due spectators, then already on the
verge of ruin. New Yorks investors are
known now to have held very generally
to their shares.

the Bland act $50. 9S6,374 standard dol

No Available Funds.

louisville, Pa, Aug. 5.-The re-
fusal Of the New York banks by similar
action from the Philadelphia institutions
to pay out any large amounts of cur
rency has precipitated a crisis that is
felt now for the first time in any special
degree here in the coal region. The
Philadelphia & Reading coal and iron
company did not make their duly
announced and customary payment to
over 500 shop hands and other employees
here in Pottsville for work in July. The
company still owes $4,000 to colliery and
other employees of the mining depart
ment for the first half of July, and which
payment should have been completed a
week or more ago had money been
plentiful. The pay checks for the last
half of the month of July have already
been placed I'm the hands OF the pay

for this payment, which amounts to

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.
Speaker Crisp Has Not Yet Decided
the Chairmanships.

WASHINGTO On. d. c., Aug. 4.-The
New York Worlds Washington cores
pendent writes: Speaker Crisp author
ICES the statement that there is no basis
whatever for any one of the many re-
ports which have been circulated regard
ing the appointment of chairmen of
committees. He has not yet decided
upon a single appointment, and will not
do so for several days. certainly not
before the arrival of the president and
Secretary Carlisle, and probably not until
the caucus shall have officially desig-
mated him as it's candidate for speaker.
He does not expect to announce the COM
mittees until eight or ten days after the
organization on Monday. He may make
an exception of the committee on coin
age, but has reached no such determine
ton as yet. The speakers sole aim is
to do only that which will be of the
greatest service to the party. To &C
complish that purpose he feels the
necessity of earnest cooperation with
the administration, and, as he has not
seen either the president or the secre-
tary of the treasury for several weeks,
he will not attempt to reach conclusions
until he shall have an opportunity to
consult with them, as well as with lead
ing members of the house upon whom
he must depend for support on the floor.
The truth is that all depends upon the
tone of the message If Mr.. Cleveland
shall confine his recommendation strictly
to repeal, with no hint of subsequent
legislation in the direction of BIZ
metallism, it might be considered wise
TO pit Cochran against the redoubtable
Bland in which Cochran would leave
the ways and means to become chair
man of the coinage committee. If, on
the other hand. the president should
deem a more pacific policy advisable, it
might be considered wise TO permit Mr..
Bland to retain his position, if he should
care to do So despite an opposing
majority in his committee. AS the COM
position of the ways and means commit
tee will be affected by the coinage COM
mittee, especially with reference to Cock
ran, It is easy TO see the reason for the
statement made above. viz: that all de-
ponds upon the presidents policy as out
lined in his message

THOUSANDS OF IDLE sPINDLEs.
One Third OF the Fall River Mills to
Shut Down Temporarily.


FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 5.-About
100000 spindles stopped here tonight for
an indefinite period. is the sentence at
tached by brokers to their weekly state
ment of the condition of the cloth mar
ket, and the Mule spinners' association
led off their monthly circular with the
words: Husband your resources"
The two expressions picture the mill
situation here today about as clearly as
it can be painted in words. The follow
ing mills will close tonight for one week,
but the greater portion for four and
PROBABLY six: American linen, 81 900
spindles; Anawan, 10000; Fall River
mandatory, $4,000; Flint, ~ 900; Granite,
$1,000. which has new mill in process
of erection: King Philip. los, 900; Laurel
Lake, $4,000; Metacomet. 2S, 900; Richard
Borden, $4,000; Robson, 25,OOO Sea-
comet. $4,000: Shove, 10000; Stafford. 65,-
tamoe, $4,000. These corporations
represent one-third of all the
mills in the city. Seven thousand oper-
atives will be idle and $66, 900 will be
taken from circulation by the close in
wages. Other mills will follow their ex-
ample and some that are nominally run
ming having idle looms. The shortage in
currency is the immediate cause.
The weekly cloth statement issued to-
day shows that goods are still accurnu-
lating here despite the curtailment of
production from 10000 to. 175,0OO pieces.
The sales were only 41,O0O pieces, hardly
the production of eight good mills, and
most Of them were made on a ruinously
low basis. There is no call for regular
goods to speak of, there being but / 900
pieces sold, or just enough to make a
quotation.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-The register
officer of the treasury has for the past
week been in receipt of numerous con-
signments of per cent. u. S. bonds for
exchange into smaller denomination, the
amount thus exchanged during the past
three days aggregating more than ST.,
100000. The orders come in from all
portions of the country but mostly
from Boston, New York and Philadel-
phia. One order came in today from
Indiana. There were three $4,000 per
cent. bonds which at the request of the
holders were turned into bonds of the
denomination of $50 and 500. This
same state of affairs as to bonds it is
recalled at the treasury took place
shortly after the war when large de-
nominations of the 7-3O per cent. bonds
were exchanged into smaller denomina-
tions anu passed current as money in
general business.
Acting Secretary Curtiss has ordered
the force of the bureau of engraving
and printing to work an extra hour each
day until further orders, beginning
Monday next, in printing national bank
notes for which the demand just now is
very great. This demand is occasioned
by the fact that national banks are ex-
panding their circulation.
The treasury department is doing all
in its power to meet the demand for
small notes in and around New York
city. Last night Sl,00O,OOO was sent TO
New York, and this morning an addi-
tional 100000 was sent there.
Inquiry at the treasury department
elicits the information that the govern
ment has now on hand about l30,O0O,O 900
ounces of fine silver, costing $11S,O0O, 900.
The coinage value of the bullion on hand
is about SI67 600, 900. If this were coined
the government will realize a profit
of about $4S, 000, 900, against which silver
certificates could be issued 1t would
take however, it is stated, with the
present coinage capacities of the United
States about five years to convert this
bullion into silver dollars. Silver GER
tificates. therefore, could only be issued
on profits as coined.

FATAL PRIZE FIGHT.
Unconscious After Fighting Twenty
Two Rounds and Dies.

DENVER, Aug. 4.-As the result OF a
prize fight at the rooms of the Ramblers'
cycling club last night Bobby Taylor, The

lasted twenty-five rounds, at the end of
which il was declared a draw. The sailor
Kids" opponent was kid" Robinson,
negro whom Taylor had defeated in pre-
vious fight. The men fought at 121 pounds.
and when the fight was over both were
badly used up and disfigured, although six
ounce gloves were used. When Taylor be-
gan dressing after the fight he suddenly
tainted and remained unconscious all night,
and today he died. Bat Masterson, who
refereed the fight. and Dick Carberry, the
manager. together with the negro Robin
son, are under arrest. Masterson claims
that Taylor's death was caused by
falling and striking his head a chair
just after the fight. The Sailor Kid was

M'KINLEY MAKES A SPEECH
In Which He Charges the Situation TO
Fear of Tariff Changes.


Fear of Tariff Changes.
SANDUSKY, o., Aug. 5.-Governor
Mckinley addressed an audience of 10000
people this afternoon at an annual harvest
picnic of Erie. county agricultural society
at Linwood park, Vermillion, this after
noon. His speech dealt largely with the
present financial and business condition.
He pointed out that the business of the
country rested upon credit, faith in one
another, faith in the industries of the
country, faith in the destinies of the
republic, and when every man lost faith
then paralysis followed. What we
wanted now was level headedness. But
unfortunately as our situation was to-
day, it would have been worse if instead
Of having national bank money we had
state bank money Continuing he said:
1T is not important that we find some
body to blame for our present financial
distrust, but it is of paramount import
ance that we find some way out. Uncer
tainty and distrust lie at the foundation
of the serious financial and industrial
condition that confronts us. There is
nothing so sensitive in the world as CAPT.
tai and trade and commerce and business
men everywhere are sure to discount their
fears of the future. Whatever influence
the Sherman law, so called, may have
upon the present condition, it is by no
means the chief cause of our truble
The great cause is elsewhere found, and
those who can not discover it are blinded
by partisanship. Manufacturers are not
going to produce for the future when
their prducts made under present condi-
lions may have to compete with like
products made under other and different
conditions. Manufacturers are not going
to produce iron and steel. cotton or wooden
goods under the present rates of duty
on the raw material and the finished pro-
duct, which in six or twelve months may
have to meet in the same market iron
and steel and cotton and wooden goods
made with raw material free and the
finished product with a diminished
duty. Manufacturers are not going TO
produce for the future and pay protec-
tive tariff wages, when their products
may have to compete with like products
under free trade wages. Let me tell
what would be the cure:
IAN authoritative declaration Of con-
gress when it meets next Monday ap-
proved by the president that the threat
ened changes will not take place, that
they did not mean it. or if they meant
il they have discovered they were wrong.
If they will do that next Monday the
fears of the business world will be
quoted and business will resume it's
normal condition"

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The over
shadowing question this morning in
financial circles was the scarcity of cur
rency. At many banks it was admitted
that cash payments for large checks over
the counter had been suspended for
some days, except in cases where it was
known the actual cash was necessary.
In other words, it was said the banks
used discrimination. and where it was
thought the demand for actual cash
Currency was made for the purpose of
boarding. the banks insisted on a certi-
fed check being taken.
In the very general collapse Of the
machinery of domestic exchange the col
lection of drafts on banks in other towns
and cities has been managed on an
unusual system. Ordinarily when a New
York banks depositor turns in a check
drawn to his order on an out of town
bank the New York bank RENTS to it's
own correspondent in the same place
for collection, or else sends direct to the
bank drawn upon. In both cases. out
of town banks have either delayed in
renting or else have RENTED in New
York exchange at the current heavy
ulSCOuul, charging up 10 the New 1OIh
bank the cost of exchange. The city
banks have, therefore, resorted in an
unusually large measure Of late to direct
collection through the express companies,
which make a speciality of presenting
drafts direct at distant points, drawing
out the money and shipping it to New
York. The cost of this transaction has
for a long time been materially below
the rate charged for interior exchange.
Many curious incidents are related by
bankers as TO the working of such col
lectiOns. Some outside banks have taken
pains to pay such drafts in inconvenient
currency, notably standard silver dollars.
One case is mentioned of a country bank
on which a draft of several thousand
dollars was collected py express. Among
the money returned was several hundred
dollars in gold. $500 in standard silver
dollars and 5000 in subsidiary coin. al
most entirely dimes, with a liberal
sprinkling Of Canadian pieces. In this
case it is quite probable. unless the
draft actually exhausted the little bank s
resources, that the country bankers got
the better of their city creditors: for the
loss on exchange could hardly have ex-
ceeded the virtual loss on non-legal
tender coin.
