Bank of Commerce of Kansas City. Mo,

$4,000 and $50, 900, respectively, against the

the ability of his COUNSEL is tonight free

practice of law. 1t required all of the fore

which he made his famous play in the county
jail, firing twenty -four shots. Taggart was
not charged in the information with being a

such object lessons before us, there will be
no fear Of reactionary measures. II any re-
strlctions should have been observed they
would rapidly disappear in the light of the
advantages which would accrue and the en-
lightened public sentiment upon the subject.
Every new change would broaden and
widen the system, until there would be
nothing left to remind us of the folly of the
past, except the musty records of past con-
crosses and parliaments.

"Such an arrangement as l have outlined
does not involve any interference on the
part of either country with the tariff laws
or political constitution of other countries.
Each will be left free to form and to regulate
its economic and governmental policies as
the people of each country may determine in
reference to other countries and as TO them
selves. Each country would be permitted to
make treaties, commercial or otherwise,
with all other countries so long as they did
not interfere with the commercial treaties
and regulations between these countries
The people of Canada should be left perfectly
free from any Interference on our part with
them in determining or maintaining the
policy which may exist between them and
the mother country. Whatever that policy
may be, it will not prevent perfect
freedom of commerce between this country
and that. We may assume that the
nearer the Dominion win approach absolute
free trade with the United States the more
satisfactory will that condition be to Great
Britain. Grert Britain has already set an
example to the world of free and unrestricted
trade, and under that system England has
developed a power and brought to her people
n wealth which could not have been done
| under any restriction to trade or interfer-
ence with the natural course of business,
England, therefore, will bid her subjects in
America godspeed in their efforts to eman-
cipate themselves from trade restrictions
with the United States.~And this freedom
of trade and absence of commercial restrc-
tions between Canada and the United States
would remove in the future any cause of
jealousy between Great Britain and our
own country and hasten the time which all
should welcome, of freer and less restricted
peoples of the world.''

THE LADY MANAGERS.
Considerable Time Consumed in
Wrangling,

CHICAGO, July 15.-The board of lady
managers consumed much time today
wrangling over the prOpriety of accept
ing certain invitations to go 10 attrac-
tions and functions. The women ac-
cepted the offer of Mrs. French Sheldon
to give a stereOptieon exhibit in the as
Sembly hall of their building, the pro-
ceeds to go to the cold storage fire fund.
Miss Worley, of Indiana, who has been
appointed as judge in the depart
ment of agriculture, complained that
she had been notified by Chairman
Thatcher, of the commissions commit
tee on awards that, she would not be
allowed to serve because she was a
member of the state board. She offered
her resignation, but the board would not
listen to it, and some uncomplimentary
remarks were made about Mr.. Thatcher.
The following judges were confirmed:
Fine Arts-Mary Solan, Tennessee;
Mary Hallock Foote. Idaho; Miss Emily
Sartin, Pennsylvania. Fs
The following names, presented by
the imperial Russian commission to act
as judges, were approved:

no confidence in,the national banks,
which it created and which it super
vises. and its example is followed by
timid people in withdrawing their
money from national and other banks,
and in placing it in safety deposit
vaults, thereby adding to the intensity
of the present panic. The secretary Of
the treasury should be authorized upon
the repeal of this act to direct his COL
lectors to deposit the revenue of the
country in the national banks selected
by him at the points where these reve-
nues are collected. This wonld do away

gest that the ratio be changed so as 10

Views of Treasury OmciaIs.

WASHINGTON. July 15.-There is gen.
eral concurrence among officials of the
treasury department that the financial
situation has improved and continues to
improve. So firm is this belief that
notification received by the comptroller
of the currency this morning that three
more national banks had failed did not
cause any serious misgivings of return
to the critical stage of the past several
weeks. The banks to whom misfortune
has come are the National Bank OF
Kansas City. Mo-, the failure of which
was chronicled in the newspapers this
morning; the First National Bank of
Starkvi!ie, Miss, and the First National
Bank of Cherryvale. Kan. The Stark
Vile and Cherryvale concerns were

the lowest amount allowable for ma
tional bank. Comptroller Eckels di-
rected Bank Examiner Galbraith to

the news that revolt has broken out
again IN Nicaragua, and that the presi-

MINES ATTACHED.
The Northwestern Road Ties Up
Property OF the Schlessinger
Syndicate.

Property OF the SchIessinger
Syndicate.
MILWAUKEE, July Is. - Ferdinand
Schlessinger was seen at his home
early this morning and shown the dis
patch announcing the fact that some of
his iron property on the Menomnee
and Marquette ranges had been at
tached by the Northwestern road. He
said he could not understand what it
meant.
The Schlessinger syndicate," he
said, lis debtor to the northwestern
railroad to the extent of perhaps $40, 200.
That company has moved our ore, and
of course in this way freight bills have
been run up, Preparations have been
made TO meet portion of them. while
time was to be granted on the remain
der. and L cannot see what has induced
the company to take this action. 1t is
complete surprise to me, as 1 had sup
posed that everything was all right.
''This matter will be settled immedi-.
ately, and will not Inconvenience our
syndicate In the least. Your dispatch
is the first that l had heard of the mat
ter, but shall take steps in the morning
to see just how the matter lies"
The attachment proceedings are. &C
COiuiIIS W MI. OcllleSSlnP0T, against
what is known as the Buffalo mine,
which is located near Negaunee, which
is the property of the syndicate. The
Schlessingers not only own and control
the Buffalo, but are Interested in large
amount of property i'll Northern Michi-
gan, which Is valued in the aggregate at
many millions of dollars.
1t is thought and believed by business
men who are directly interested in the
Buffalo Mining cOmpany's financial
troubles that II reasonable show is
given Fred Schlessnger and his associ-
ates they will come out in good shape.
When seen at the Office this morning
Mr.. SchlesSinger said:
Like numerous business enterprises
just now, we are pushed for funds, al
though we can make everything all right
If reasonable amount of time be given.
1t is fact that we were greatly sur
prISed at this move made by Mr.. Hughitt,
OF the Northwestern. We had had rea-
son to believe that we had every assur-
ance that Mr.. HughitE would wait on
the freight bills. We have not seen him
yet, bnt think that when the matter is
talked up with him he will withdraw
his proceedings. [ am OF the opinion
that he went to the extraordinary and
somewhat unbusineSslike method to
bring matters to settlement
at the banks but little is to be learned
regarding the situation in the Schles-
singer matters. 1t is said that very
large amount of the syndicate's paper
Is held here, and the amount is placed
as high as 100000 or over. 1t is all,
however, secured by the best of collat-
eral, and the banks do not seem to fear
any trouble. That the syndicate will
pull through seems to be generally be-
lieved. and TO this end plenty of assist
ance would be extended if necessary.
The syndicate has been punched. as have
other extensive enterprises, for funds
with which to conduct its large bust
ness. Ore sales have been light and
payments poor, so that the syndicate
has been pushed for ready funds

ANOTHER BIG ROW.
The Re 1per and Harvester People
Inaugurate a Fight.

Inaugurate a Fight.
CHICAGO, July Is. - There Is war
among the reaper and harvester exhib-
itors at the worlds fair, and it appears
likely to result in condition as serious
as that which arose from the Paderew-
ski piano imbroglio. All the mower
and harvester exhibitors of the United
States, with one single exception, have
risen in revolt against the plans of John
Boyd Thatcher. and united in an
ultimatum Withdrawing their exhibits
from competition unless a radical
change be made in the programme.
Trouble has been brewing for several
days over the sudden announcement
that the harvesting exhibitors must be
prepared for a field trial on July II, and
the matter has finally culmi mated in the
following communication:
Hon. John Boyd Thatcher. Chairman
of the Committee on Awards. Worlds
Columbian Exposition - Dear Sir:
The exhibitors of mowers and har-
veSIing machines at the Worlds
Columbian exposition were advised by
telegraph on Saturday, July s, that it
was proposed to hold field trials of these
machines on the farm of NJ. w. Dun
ham, Esq, at Wayne, ILL.,. beginning on
| Monday, July II, but have not vet
learned the rules that are to govern nor
the details of the trial. Most of these
manufacturers are opposed to field
| trials, believing that the benefits to be
/ derived from such trials are slight, while
| the expenses ordinarily are very great.
! Few, If any, of them anticipated that
! field trials were to be held, and the no.
tIce given by the bureau of awards is
too short for proper preparation, so that
we. the undersigned. have reluctantly
decided that it will not be possible for

A FOUNDRY FAILS.
The Schieisinger Trouble Involves
the Boston Company,

CHICAGO. July Is. - The Boston
Foundry company, which failed today. is
connection of the Schleisinger syndi-
cate~e The Schleisingers went into it
about the first of the year, but it has
been Sliaky for some time, and its in
ability to draw upon the bankers for
as sistance sent it to the wall.
The first serious trouble, it is said here,
came from the failure of Corrigan, Ives
& Co., of Cleveland, a few weeks ago.
This house acted as agent for all the
SrhleiSinger mines except the Chaplin.
Corrigan. Ives & Co., being unable to
collect on ore sold to the furnaces, were
obliged to give way. At the time of
their failure their paper to the amount
Of S1,000,000 was held by the various
companies controlled by the Schleisiug-
ers, and of course it was of no i'm
mediate value.
The Schlelsingers own great chain
of mines in Northern Michigan, includ-
ing the Chaplin mine, the richest in the
world. These mines include also the
Buffalo, Prince of Wales, Dunn, Armen-
ian, York Iron Company, Queen, Ara
gon, Claire and Sunday lode. The esti-
mated value of the mines owned or
controlled by them is about $4,000, 600.
In addition to their mines they own
many furnaces and are interested In
foundries in various large cities. One
of them is the Boston foundry here,
which failed today. The term ''syndi-
cate" as applied to them, is makeshift
name. There is actually no consollda-
ton. The mines controlled by them
are organized as separate cor.
porations, with one or the
other of the Schleisingers as
president. For this reason, while an
attachment against the Buffalo mine
makes public the difficulties of the So
called syndicate, it does not necessarily
indicate collapse. A complete over
throw of the Schleisingers. it is said,
would be disaster to the financial in
stltutions of America, and even to some
of those in Europe. The liabilities of
the Boston company consist of notes
becoming due in a few days, and notes
already due. to the extent of SI50,OOO.
with accounts against the company for
$4,000. The attorneys for the assignee
state that the failure was precipitated
by an inability of the company to make
payments on notes held by various
banks which did not desire to have the
paper renewed on account of the uneer-
tain condition or the money market.
