Large Shipment OF Currency Received in
Helena Yesterday.
That the great strinQency in the money
market felt in Helena for She past three
weeks is relieved, WAS proven pretty con-
clusively yesterday by a visit to the Ameri-
oan National bank. An INDEPENDENT re-
porter who called there in the afternoon
found Assistant Cashier Cope busily en-
gagged in counting and putting into bundes
piles of Rreenbacks ranging in denomina-
tion from $5 to $1,000. In addition there
were trays full of the yellow boys" and
other trays of the dollar OF our daddies ~
the aggregate going away up into the
thousands. In reply to the query that
there did not seem to be any particular
lack OF rrency in the American. Mr.. Core
said that institution had received in the
past two days considerable shipments of
currency. and that others would be received
to-day and tomorrow.
After the strlngency of the past week or
two the sight at the American yester day
was one good for sore eves, indicating. as ii
did, that there was a financial institution
in the CITY that had ample assets on which.
when the time came, it could realizA that
most desirable thing in these days-casii.
Dusinc the past two weeks the American
has had a steady increase in new customers
and it now numbers among its patrons
some of the most prominent houses in the

WARRINGTON. Aug. 9.-Nearly every dem

caucus this mo ming TO decide, If possible,
on plans o: the ra,ty for action relative to
the silver discussion. The meeting devol-
opsd as wide divergence OF views as that
between tho wings of the rsrty on free sill

senate to assemble arrived nothing was ac-
complished and An adjournment was taken
till after the senate adjourned for the day =.
The free silver democrats at once hold con-
ferences with the free silver republicans
and the result was soon evident, for tho
latter voted with the democrats for the ad
journment of the senate without transact
ing any business. Tho caucus Immediately
reassembled.
After two hours session the caucus
adjourned without reaching a conclusion
IA 10 the line OF policy. There was a strong
diffei snoe Of opinion on the silver question.
and ,he caucus diourned to meet again in

Meanwhile the subject of silver repeal
will not figure in the senate, for the pur-
nose Is to adjourn from tomorrow till
