New York Bankers Very

THERE IS SOME MOVEMENT.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

New YORK, May 12.-The fact that COM
mercial paper is beginning to move, al
though very slowly, is leading 10 the be-
lief that bankers think the crisis past, as
far as New York is concerned. The idea
is that the stringency has been sufficient
to uncover weak spots and bring rotten
ness TO light wherever it exists. This,
however, is little more than 'pious opin-
ion" on the rart of a few bankers. and as
far rs the largest and most conservative
banks are concerned there is no relaxation
to restrictions on commercial paper. Some
time loans have been made at per cent
on good mixed collateral, but only TO sub
stantal houses.
a report was current in Wall street to-
day that the Comptroller Ot the Currency
has ordered an immediate examination into
the condition of four city banks. An in

WASHINGTON. May 12.-Telegrams were
received at the Treasury Department to-
day from New York and other cities in
quiring as to the truth of the reports that
special examinations had been ordered of
particular national banks. Rumors to this
effect appear to have been started in
various commercial cities today. The
only foundation for them seems to be that
the Comptroller Of the Currency has is
sued a circular cf instruction to bank
directors generally enjoiniEg special dill
gence upon them at the present time, but
his instructions have no specific reference
to any particular bank or banks in any
one city. They are general in scope and
intended rs precautionary measure only.

OPEN ON SUNDAYS
Half a Victory for the
Workingmen.
THEY CAN Go INTO THE PARK
The Local Directory Can Do That
Much, Though 1t Cannot Open
the Buildings.
Special to THE MoRN1Ns CALL.

CHICAGO May 12-All nature smiled
this morning and extended q welcome TO
the visitors who passed through the turn
stiles at the fair grounds. The tempera-
ture was just right for moving around out
doors and in the buildings. The attend
ance was large.
The Worlds Fair gates will be opened
to the public on Sunday and the VeXed
question is settled. To-day at the regular
mon thy meeting of the local directors of
the Worlds Fairi it was decided to open the
gates of Jackson Park to the public for
half the price Of admittance to the fair
during week days. namely, % cents. This
action has nothing to do with opening the
buildings. The latter will remain closed,
as required under the laws passed by Con-
gress. and as agreed to when the sum of
81 800, 0G0 was accepted from the Fifty
second Congress. The action of the board
will go into effect on the 21st of this month
The vote by which the resolution was
passed was 27 to Z. Under the resolution
Midway Plaisauce will also be thrown
open.
Edwin Walker, attorney for the board,
submitted an opinion on the question, and
on the strength of this opinion the board
acted. Briefly. Walker decided that the
exposition was one thing and the eXposl-
ton grounds altogether distinct ana sep
arate thing, and unless the National Com
mission acts vigorously to prevent 1T jack
son Park will be open on Sundays, the ex=
position buildings remaining closed.
The entire session Of the National Com
mission to-day was spent in wrangling
over the report of the Theodore Thomas iu-
vestigating committee. hefrends OF the
musician have been maneuvering TO de-
feat the object of the committee. which
was the adoption of the report practically
ordering the director general to discharge
Thomas. and when the commission met
Chairman Lannan moved the adoption Of
his report. President Palmer called for
the ayes and noes, but st. Clair objected
10 the vole proceeding. stating it was
wrong, morally and legally. for the COM
mission 10 take such action. By the time
he had finished speaking the quorum had
disappeared, and Chairman Lannan. see
ing that it would be useless to attempt to
have the report adopted, moved that it be
laid on the table until q quorum was
secured. which was carried without dis
senting vote.

SOMEBODY MUST PAY.
Warner Miller Indignant at Guz-
mans Insinuations.

NEW YORK, May 12.-The officers of the
Nicaragua Canal Company and of the
Nicaragua Canal Construction Company
were very indignant to-day at the charge
made by SenOr Guzman, the NicaEaguan
Minister. that American capitalists had
supplied to the revolutiOnists necessary
materials with which to carry on the war.
The canal company is one of the principal
enterprises in Nicaragua in which Amer-
can capitalists are interested, and the Min
ister's accusation necessarily would tend
TO lead some people TO believe that 1t was
the canal company to which he referred.
Ex-senator Miller. president Of the Con-
struction Company, said to-day: ~ do
not know to whom Senior Guzman refers
He cannot refer to the canal company. He
must refer to some other interest, as con-
cessions have been granted for building
railroads in Nicaragua. The facts are
that the canal company has had nothing
whatever to do with the present trouble.
1T has not in the slightest degree had
any intimation in regard to II, either in
advance or otherwise, and has extended to
neither party to the differences either en-
couragement or help In any way, shape or
manner. The canal company has three
large iron steamboats, on Lake Nicaragua,
and on Wednesday the agent telegraphed
that they had been captured by the reVo-
lutlonists. When this trouble is over,
some one VIII have TO pay for these
STEAMERS"

HE LOST HIS TEMPER
Sir Charles Russell IS Rather an
lrascible Gentleman.
1t Begins to Look as Though Eng
land Wanted to Break Up
in Row.


PARIS. May 12.-Sir Charles Russell
continued his address in behalf OF the
British case before the Bering Sea tri-
bunal of arbitration to-day. He discussed
the rights of Russia in Berlng Sea under
the treaties between Russia and the United
States and between Russia and Great
Britain. and eontended that the treaties in
question recognized merely territorial
rights. He next referred to the forged
interpretations in the American case as
originally presented and argued. and said
that when the forgeries had been extracted
from the case nothing remained of the
rights claimed to have been derived from
Russia.
American Agent John W. Foster ex-
planned that the contents of the d0cu-
ments were unknown until after the
American case had been prepared. but as
soon as the forgery had been discovered
the documents were withdrawn.
Sir Charles replied that while the docu-
ments had been withdrawn the formal case,
depending on those documents had not
been materially changed.
Hon. Z. J. Phelps of American counsel
retorted that the American case had been
restated in the counter-case, and a discus
fact, the proceedings all through since Sir
Charles began have been characterized by
more heat and temper than at any time
since the opening of the tribunal.
Sir Charles Russell contended that the
American statutes were not intended
originally TO treat Bering Sea as mare
clausum, but that the American courts
had so interpreted them at the instance of
the American Government. In proof of
this assertion he cited copy of brief for
the United States in which the doctrine of
mare clausum was the only one relied on
by counsel.
1--WE dispute the authenticity of that
COPY" said Phelps.
II am prepared forthwith to submit
proof of its authen ticity," Russell re-
torted. 'If the correctness of the copy
was really questioned, why was not the
original produced long since?'
Continuing his argument, Sir Charles
said that the court which condemned YES
sells seized in Bering Sea sat as a munich
pal court. interpreting American law, not
as prize court administering interna-
tional law.
This was proved beyond dispute that
the seizures were made on the ground that
the whole of BerIng Sea was portion of
the United States territory and not on the
ground of those novel principles of inter-
national law enunciated by the United
States counsel at the opening of the arbi-
tration.
In conclusion Sir Charles demanded that
the tribunal pronounce Illegal the seizures
made by the United States in Bering Sea.
'II the seizures can be justified on other
principles than these advanced at the
hearing of the case" asked Senator Nor.
gan. 'is it not open to the United States
to raise them?"
''No; the United States seized the ships
on certain grounds" answered Mr.. Russell.
"The Judge punished the men in accord
ance Herewith. A great nation cannot
shift and change her position. Moreover.
the reasons now advanced. even if ad-
mitted. do not justify the fining and i'm
priSOning of sailors"
