DowNED BY PORK.

Chicago, August 1.-The big deal IN
ponk, which has held the prices of that
commodity at inordinately high prices
for months, collapsed this morning, ac-
companied by the announcement of the
failure of three leading houses con
cerned in it--J. G. Stever. e. w. Bal
ley and A. G. Helmholt
Chicage, August /, p. m.-Just as
matters had settled down on the board
series of thunderclaps fairly shook
the buildings. The failures Of the Am
erican Packing and Provision Co, and
of Jack Cudahy. daring operator in
products, and Of Wright & Haunchey,
heavy receivers and dealers In grain,
were announced, and created the ut
most CONSERVATION, and prices began to
tumble all oven the floor Of the ex-
change.
1t is impossible yet to say how much
is involved, but Cudahy was a very
large dealer with a quarter Of mill
lion capital. 1t is probable the failure
will be a heavy one.

Chicago, August 1.-The national con
vention of the American Bimetallic
League met at 10 o'clock this morning
in the First Methodist church audi
torium. 1t was the largest assembly
of like character in the history of
financial agitation. Mayor Carter H.
Harrison welcomed the delegates to
the city.
In his address Mayor Harrison said:
ut is said that you are silver lunatics.
am rather glad to welcome such lu-
natics. 1t is crazy men that march
the world forward and make progress
a possibility If the action of 1873 were
blotted from the annals Of American
political action, believe that silver
would be worth 12S cents an ounce"
Hon. Thos. Patterson, Chairman of
the Colorado delegation, responded to
the mayor. Chairman Warner of the
Bimetallic League, then delivered his
opening address.
Warner said that to attribute the
present widespread fear and distress to
the silver purchasing law is absurd.
The real object lesson of the situation
is very different from that which the
gold conspirators contend 1t enables
us to see the beginning Of shrinkage
in prices that must take place. in order
to go to purely gold basis. The trou
BILE is in the change in the money
standard The establishment of sin
gle gold standard is equivalent to put
ting the value of two dollars into one"
He characterized the silver act Of
1873 as a crime, and said he was willing
to let both the Sherman laws go to-
gether and place the country back
upon the constitution and the law as
1t stood before 1873.
After the transaction of routine busi-
ness the permanent chairman, Mr..
Thurman, was escorted to his seat
amid great applause, and delivered an
address. He said in part:
SHOULD the Sherman law be repealed
without any substitute in lieu thereof,
1t means the final destruction of sill
yer as a measure of value. The is
sue resolves itself down to a question
whether the paper money of the coun
try is to be issued by banking corpo
rations upon the debts of the people or
other kinds of corporate Securities, or
whether II is to rest upon the
broad and safe basis upon which the
amount Of circulating medium required
by the people of this country can safe
ly rest.

The Low Price Of ofGovernment Ronds sag-

ASoOCluleu IIcoos
New York, August LA new and
unexpected element of relief has
been injected into the financial sltu-
alton. United States bonds have reached
such a low figure that national banks
see their way clear to make profit by
issuing circulation against them. Ar
rangements have therefore been made
by several Of the more prominent banks
to increase their circulation from the
minimum limits at which II now stands
to such an amount as win materially
relieve the present tention. 1t Is
estimated eight or ten millions of doll
lars will be SO added to New Yorks
supply within a very short time Or
ders have already been placed with the
comptroller Of the currency for some
Of the new bills, and some banks have
bought bonds preparatory to deposit
ing them in washington.
Harvey Fish & Sons, who made
speciality Of government bonds, today
sent circular to nationa Dahk OF
ficers urging the Importance OF en-
larging circulation. They said: there
is room for over s4O,OOo,OOO, provided
bonds can be secured for deposit. The
banks can perform service by In
creasing circulation, and win receive
reward in the shape Of lsrge profits
Bank currency is the best which the
country can have, because It expands
when needed and contracts when not
needed, instead Of. in the latter case
remaining in circulation to induce fool
ish speculations, which hastens and in
tenslhes panics such as we are now
passing through"

WILL NOT OBEY ORDERS.

Minneapolis, August 1.-The Journal
prints an article this afternoon in
which it asserts that as result of
Archbishop Corrigan's repeated refusal
to obey the orders of the papal able
gate, Satolli, the latter will go to
Rome and lay the matter before the
Pope with recommendations that a
coadjutor be appointed to assist the
archbishop Of New York. This would
mean the virtual removal of Corrigan
from the active management of the
affairs of his archdiocese and the
Journal hints that If such action is
taken by the. Holy See, Archbishop
ireland may be the coadjutor.

A ction Of the Claims Committee
Warmly Defended.
County Commissioner Lavallee sends
to the GLOBE, anent the cutting of
county grocery bills, the following:
To the Editor of the DAILY GLOBE
Dear Sir: notice in your issue of this
date that one of the grocerS who charges
81 per buShel for potatoes to the board
of control, which the committee on
claims of the board of county commits
sioners cut down to 60 cents, takes OBJ
lection to the reduction OF his bill, claim
ing contract with the baord of control.
l defy Mr.. Furlong or other grocers, or
any one connected with the board of
control, to produce such a contract.
l do not desire to cast reflections Oh
any grocer or member OF the board Of
control. but will say that the cOmmmit-
tee OH claims Is held responsible tor the
disbursement of funds. and certainly
ought to know at what prices, i'll what
form, and the way goods are purchased.
Unless the members are on the alert
and look into things very close they are
liable to be hauled before the grand
jury for neglect of duty. The commit
tee on claims, before acting, satisfied
tucluSSlfcSs HItHOut UOuUt. THAI lnttG
does not now, never has existed, nor
now exists any contract.
Why Is it that some grocers advertise
and charge customers but 60 cents per
bushel on the same day and date thar
the board OF control Is charged 81?
Will any one tell me, supposiDg "a con-
tract to exist at given price for Ger
tain article for a certain time, and the
price OF the article should fall to half
what he had a contract for, that he
would refund the difference III gold or
merchandise? This looks very thin, to
my mind, as l have been in the grocery
business thirteen years and know some
thing about selling goods and what the
custom is in such matters.
| must plead guilty that the county
commissioners are holding fat Offices
and receiving princely compensation.
They receive for their services 50 cents
per day. Respectfully yours,

noon. Over one hundred new inqulrers
with a view of attending the school
have been received. OF these inquirers
forty-six have made personal applica-
ton for admission. Forty-eighU students
of last winter have written, signifying
their intention to return this fall. This
makes ninety-four to begin with, which
does not include those who have made
application to enter the factorymen's
course in dairying, which is depart
ment Of the school, and begins in Janu-
airy, to continue one month. There were
registered at this time last year for the
school of agriculture but fifty Alto
gether; this years gain is forty-four.
Prof. Hays has returned from the
North Dakota school of agriculture and
moved into the experiment farm house.
Prof. Shaw, of the agricultural college,
Guelph, Ont, arrived yesterday. The
new building, for which an appropria-
ton of $4,000 was made by the legisla-
ture last winter, is completed and the

In his opinion it was not sufficient TO
