WILL FIGHT VOORHEES, BILL.
Enemies of National Banks Preparing
for United Attack.


for United Attack.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ls.-The bill of
the finance committee of the senate to
allow national banks to issue currency
to the par value of the bonds deposited
by them in the treasury will be fairly
launched on its voyage in the senate
to-day but is sure TO experience very
stormy weather.
There are already two obstacles in
sight and it will take good manage
ment to get round them without dam
aging. One of these is the amend
ment offered yesterday by Mr.. Cock
rell dem, Mo-. dire .ting the secre-
tary Of the treasury to redeem such Of
The outstanding per cent bonds as
may be offered and to pay for them at
par and accrued interest by new
issue of greenbacks. 1t is understood
that he has also in reserve several
propositions that will not be very
pleasing to the national banks or
their friends in the senate.
The new democratic senator from
Nebraska, Mr., Allen, is also prepared
to attack the bill with an amendment
for the suspension of interest on the
bonds deposited by the national banks
as a basis for increased circulation
There are therefore lively times ahead
of the bill and Mr.. Voorhees, will have
to put forth all his resources to pre-
vent its being swamped in the senate.

Makes n Memorable Speech.
LONDON, Aug. le.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the London Times quotes
a passage from the speech of Baron DE
Courcel. in closing the session OF the
Behring sea tribunal, as worthy OF
preservation. Baron de Courcel SAID:
1--WE have sought to MAINTAIN intact
the fundamental principle OF TINS au-
gust right OF people which extends
like the vault of the sky about all ma
tons and borrows from the laws Oh
nature itself to protect one people OF
the earth against another-and incul,
cate in them principles OF mutual good
will. In the regulations we were IN
trusted 10 elaborate we had to decide
between divergent rights and interests
which IL was difficult to conclliate.
The governments of the United States
and Great Britain promised with good
grace to accept and carry out our de-
cision. Our desire is that this volun-
tary engagement should leave no re-
grets on the part of either one OF them,
although we have asked OF both
what they will, perhaps, regard as
serious sacrifices. This part OF our
work consecrat great innovation
Hitherto the nations had agreed TO
leave outside of all special legislation
the vast domain of the seas; yet the
sea, after the land has become small
for men who, like the hero Alex
ander and no less ardent in
work than he in glory, dis
play their energies in world
too narrow. Our work is the first
attempt to share the products hitherto
underlined, of the ocean by ruling to
be applied to goods which have es--
capped every other law except that of
first conner If this attempt sue
ceeds it will undoubtedly be followed
by numerous limitations, until the en-
tire planet, on the waters as on the
continents, shall have become the OBJ
ject of Jealous division. Then per-
haps the conception of property will
change among men"

| liabilities scheduled include s250,0OO
| for livestock premiums and stables,
appropriated but uneXpended.
One feature OF interest TO stock
holders is the item of receipts from

July was over 5000, 000-a total of
| 81 90, 900 more than the returns from
the same source during May and June
fAnother change is noted in that the
pay roll expense is brought down 70
tie date of statement by including
three half-monthly pay rolls in the
statement. where it has been custo-
mary to count but two scmi-monthly
installments down to the 18th OF the
preceding month.
The assets figured do not include
| either salvage or estimated receipts,
which would come n under any ca.cu-
laticn of future payments of bonds
and floating debt As near as can be
judged from the tabulatiop, the re-
ceipts from all solrees, including adj
mission, is about $50, 03o day. The
operating expenses are in the neigh
borhood of $1,000, and decreasing
constantly. This leaves "a net revenue
of about 500, 0C0 day, or somewhere
near Si,O)0,00o for the remaining
period of the Fair, calculated Oh the
present basis and emitting salvage.
The attendance. however, is increas-
ing so steadily that the directors OK
pect to realize considerably more than
the estimate, and clear up al! bonded
and floating Indebtedness, with q
margin for stock dividends besides.
The first complete schedule of opcr
ating expenses tor May is submitted.
1t shows an average daily cost of n
little more than so, 1873 day, against
average receipts of only Sl9,s7G. The
detailed payroll for july showed $50?

ing guards and janitors, with an aver

PLEAsANToy, Kan, Aug. 15.-Fur-
Their developments in the case of the
flight of ex-Iiankcr, Merchant and
Merchant Robert Kincaid of this
county on July 20 show that he has
bankrupted one-third of the people of
the county, besides getting away with
the county and school funds When
Hood n kincaid's bank of this city
was closed only $3.50 in cash was found
in the vaults The liabilities are $780,
900. The night the bank failed $40, 900
in notes were taken from the vaults,
presumably by Kincaid.
In recent years his bank paid 6, s
and 10 per cent interest on time de-
posts, enough to break any bank.
Having the utmost confidence in him,
practically all the widows, orphans
and POOR people in the county put
their affairs and savings into his
hands. all of which are swept away.
Soon after Hood & Kincaid's bank
failed his general store here made an
assignment with liabilities of $4,000,
all of which except one item, was in
the form of notes, due to widows,
school teachers and farmers. The one
exception is SELF, Schwab a. Co. of

WANTS TO SUCCEED BLOUNT.
Mr.. Job of Chicago a Candidate for
Minister to Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l7.-Mr. Freder-
lex w. Job, a young lawyer OF Chi
eago, is here to look after his candi.
dacy for the unusually important
diplomatic position of minister to
Hawaii to succeed Minister Blount
Mr.. Job comes here with strong letters
to high administration officers. 1t is
understood also that he will have the
support Of Senator Palmer in his can
didacy for the Hawaiin mission. There
is considerable doubt expressed, how
ever, by those familiar with the deli
cate and important questions now
pending between this country and
Hawaii as to the likelihood Of Mr..
Cleveland selecting young and mex
perienced man as minister. The posi-
tion is Of the third class, paying $500
annually.
The revolution in Hawaii and the
subsequent negotiations for anneNa-
tion with tins country have given
Minister Stevens and Blount more diff
ficult work than that falling to the lot
OF most tirst-class ministers. On the
return of Mr.. Blount the Hawaiian
question is likely TO be brought bsfore
congress for immediate settlement. In
any event, the minister to sue ICED Mr.
Blount will be intrusted with unusual
duties and responsibilities These cir
cumstances are looked upon as making
Mr. Jobs candidacy very doubtful.

Canadian Pacific's Government Dividend
Fund Is Now, Exhausted.

New YORK, Aug. 1S.-The fund in
the hands of the Canadian government
for the payment of dividends upon the
stock of the Canadian Pacific railway
company will be exhausted to-day and
thereafter that corporation must
pay dividends out of it's earn
ings, its subsidies and the
proceeds of its land sales. Tea
years ago the company made an ar
rangement with the Canadian govern
ment by which dividends at the rate of
per cent per annum We're guaranteed
until the 18th of August 1893, payable
half yearly. The money necessary to
secure this guaranty was loaned to the
company by the dominion govern
ment, being borrowed from England.
subsequently the company obtained {.
clear receipt OF the loan by trans
fcrring portion of its land subsidy to
the government and paying some cash.
The amount required to guarantee the
dividends was S22, 800, 900. An effort
was MADE lately by the company to
procure an extension of the guaranty.
but without success, and at the last
session of the Canadian parliament
authority was given to the corporation
to issue preferential stock to the
amount of S3z. 500, 600, which authority
the directorate has exercised to the
extent of IS, 900, 900.

CHICAGO, Aug IT, Dr. y. +. Coh,s
of 1jS Englewood avenue was bound

house and his money and valuables
appropriated and carried off b1for,
his very eyes The work was
done sharply, neatly, gently and
with consummate boldness 10y
three masked men who knew their
trade to perfection and who did the
Job with expedition. DR.. Cohrs has no
idea what the scoundrels look like and
has been able to give a very imperfect
description of them. While the
amount and value of the plumber car
red off by the burglars is compare
lively small-being $40 in cash and
two watches, one gold and the
other silver - the burglary Itself
is one OF the boldest known
even in these times of bold burglaries.
The doctor lay bound and gagged and
watched the marauders coolly search
his premises. When they found all
that was available they walked away
without giving DR.. Cohrs even as much
as n glimpse of their features They
were also careful to leave no trace
after them by which they could be
identified.

NO MONEY TO MOVE WHEAT.
Proposal to pay the Farmers In Clear
Ing Honse Certificates.

Ing HOUSE tertlucates.
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 1.-THE
question of moving the 100, 900, 600
bushels of wheat which is now being
harvested by the farmers of Minnesota
and the Dakotas is one of paramount
importance, and yesterday the leading
bankers of ST. Paul and Minneapolis
held conference TO discuss ways and
means of meeting the emergency A
proposition was discussed that the
banks of st. Paul and Minneapolis
should create a local currency by
issuing, on the lines of the plan of New
York banks. clearing house certificates
in denominations of s., $40, SO and
$50 which could be loaned to buyers
TO be used in payment Of wheat to
farmers and of freights and charges to
railways, and thus carry the wheat to
market when the proceeds would be
returned TO the banks, thus putting
them in funds with which to redeem
the local currency. The question
whether this plan can be worked seems
to depend largely upon the co-opera-
ton of the bankers, the farmers and
the railroads. The banks are favor
able to the scheme, and the farmers
and railroads will be asked TO adopt it
in the next three or four DAYS.

two hours so far occupied in the dis
