Artillerymen.on Bicycles.

PITTsBURG, Pa, August 1.-THE
novelty of artillerymen on bicycles
sounds like a romance, and will
doubtless spread a smile over the
faces of veterans who fought in the
clouds at Lookout Mountain, but
today will witness practical Illus
tration of cannOnaders on pneu-
matte tires. In accordance with
the laws governing the Pennsylva-
mia National Guard, Hampton
Battery, otherwise designated as
Battery b." will start out for
their annual encampment drill
and inspection this evening. Cap
tain f. A. Hunt has been planning
for the outing, and with his supe-
rior officers has mapped out a
scheme of march and drill that is
quite new, and so like actual army
procedure that veterans are sniff
ing the atmosphere and wanting
to get on horseback. Sixty artil-
lerymen, on bicycles, precede the
battery and arrange for all the de-
tails of the two nights march.

CRISP DENIES
The Reports About tn, Appoint
ments of Committees, Etc.

The Reports About thu Appoint
ments of Committees, Etc.
New YORK, Aug. 4.-The World 9
Washington special says:
speaker Crisp authorizes the
statement that there is no basis
whatever, for any one of the
many reports which have
been circulated regarding the APP
pOintment of the chairmen of the
committees. He has not yet de-
cided upon a single appointment
and will not do so for several days,
certainly not before the arrival of
the president and Secretary Car
Isle, and probably not until a
caucus shall have officially
designated him as its candidate
for speaker. He does not expect to
announce the committees until
eight or ten days after organization
on Monday. He may make an
exception of the committee on
coinage, but he has reached no
such determination as yet. The
speakers sole aim is to do only
that which will be of the greatest
service to the party. To accomplish
that purpose, he feels the need of
earnest cooperation with the adj
ministration, and 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 had a good opportunity
to consult with them, as we'll
as with the leading members
of the House, upon whom he must
depend for support on the floor.
The truth is, that it all depends
upon the tone of the message. If
Mr.. Cleveland shall confine his re-
concentrations strictly to repeal
with no hint of the subsequent
legislation in the direction of BIZ
metalism, it might be considered
wise to "put" Cochran against
redoubtable Bland. in which
event, Cochran would leave the
ways and means committee, to be-
come chairman of the coinage
committee. If, on the other hand,
the president should deem 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
the opposition of the majority of
his committee. AS the composition
of the ways and means committee
will be effected by that coinage
committee, especially with refer
ence to Cochran, it is easy to see
reason for the statement made
above, but that depends upon the
Presidents policy, as outlined in
his message.

MONEY QUESTION DISCUSSED.
James P. Newcomb Gives His Ideas
In an Interview.

LII Ill 4uISINlS"'
A LIGHT reporter met Mr.. James
p. Newcomb this morning, and
during a conversation which fol-
lowed, the money question came
up, and Mr.. NewcOmb was asked
to give his views. He said:
/ have never studied the money
question sufficiently to have any
opinion about it that would be
valuable. AS a republican | have
followed the position taken by my
party upon national finances. The
Republican party came into power
when the nation was bankrupted
and plunged into civil war, it
brought the nation through its
troubles and placed it upon a
sound financial basis. believe
the people must turn to that grand
old party again for sound policy
in the administration of our ma
tional affairs.
am aware of the fact that the
Republican party is somewhat di-
vided on the free coinage question
The complaint is that there is not
enough money in circulation to do
the business of the country, and
that the government should fur
nish more money. 1t has always
bothered me how the government
could put money in circulation
otherwise than by paying it out
for services performed for the gov
eminent or supplies furnished The
government might coin money I'M
til the treasury building would
not hold it and yet it could only
circulate the amount it took to
meet its expenses. The army OF
pensioners are a great me
dunn for circulating the
money, and yet the Democrat.
want to cut down the pension list
Free coinage would be a grand
scheme to put millions in circula-
ton as every one having silver
bullion could have it coined and
then it would be circulated with
out the necessity of the govern
ment paying it out. | am inclined
to free coinage, as | believe it
would make flush times.
The paper currency could be re-
stricted to large bills, at least
nothing under $40, this would
force a great deal Of silver into
circulation in the minor transac-
tiOns of the people.

Chicago Markets.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Wheat went
off lie today on the failure of the
German American bank at st. Paul
but fully recovered the loss. Pard-
ridge was a considerable seller ear
ly and scalpers were inclined to sell
till after the market had bumped
against colo for Sept. several times
and reacted, apparently having
solid support at that point. There
was some outside buying, in a
small way, and the indications
pointed to large exports. Septem-
Der opened 4@5e down, at 6O!, de-
clined to 60! and recovered to GIG.
Corn was strong, owing to the con

need. Average of advances to
tenants amounts to $1,000 on each
100000 anabas of cane to be de-
vered The prices for crop will not be
fixed until the markets open next

The Texas National Bank In Hands
of the Examiner.

of the Examiner.
AT 1920 o'clock this morning
the bank inspector stepped into
the Texas National bank and took
charge, stating he was authorized
to do so. The doors were closed
and the work of inspecting the
books, ETC., began. The closing
created no excitement in the city,
the depositors all feeling positive
that they would receive their
monies.
A LIGHT reporter called on Mr..
J. S. Alexander, the president Of
the bank this morning, after the
closing, and Mr.. Alexander made
the following remarks:
"The temporary closing of the
bank was as much of a surprise to
the officers as it was to the public.
The officers have no statement to
make, other than the deposits of
the bank being less than the per-
sonal liabilities of the stockholders,
under the National bank act, all
depositors will be paid in full, and
as it is in the power Of the comp
trOller of the currency to immedi-
ately assess the stockholders for
this purpose, the depositors will be
subjected to as little delay as pos
Sible."
