January, 1898, the surplus funds Of the
treasury received from loans or col
lections, to be placed with banks in
such sections of the country and in such
amounts as may be determined by the
secretary.
1t is not poverty, but distrust. that
afflicts the country. Our fabric OF
finance was conceived in error and
every step has increased it's departure
from the truth. The act of 1878 was
dishonorable to the government and
ruinous to the people. The act of 1890
was q mere device to substitute silver
for gold as the standard of value. Iron
or copper are rather more stable in value
today than silver.
We accepted the bad advice of the silver
infationists once, yea twice. The cup
is too bitter to continue tine drsught.
Give us a gold standard of value. Now
is the most acceptable time. We have
tried double standard and it is a most
frightful failure. Let America be freed
from the curse of bad legislation and
the people will attend to the rest. We
shall again be told there is not gold
enough TO furnish the worlds exchange.
If every mans experience did not detect
this fallacy, the sophistry might be
accepted ss an argument. II is univers-
ally admitted. as already stated, that
less than per cent of business transac-
tions require the use OF circulating
money. If more than this is needed, it
can be supplied by paper currency re-
deemable in gold. 1t will be charged
that single standard is sought by
capital as a means OF extorting higher
rates of interest. 1t is enough to say,
in every country having single stand
ard, the interest rates are scarcely half
the rates prevailing here.

GOING TO WASHINGTON.
SPEAKER CRISP SUMMONED TO
THE CAPITAL.
He Thinks the Sherman Act and the
Tax on State Banks VIII Be Re-
pealed - A Candidate for
Reelection.

ATLANTA, Ga, July 2.-Spsaker Crisp
left today at noon for Washington. Be-
ing asked about the reason for the trip,
the speaker said:
81 am on my way to Washington in
answer to q telegram from Carlisle, who
intends to go to Chicago Thursday, but
who desired to have a conference with
me before he left the city. 1 look
for great good to result from
the extra session. The nature of it's
treatment of the tariff depends largely,
of course, upon whether it will be q
continuous session. If it sdjourns be-
fore the regular session begins, the ways
and means committee will, l think, be
charged with the work of reforming the
tariff and will proceed with the duty
until some good tariff measure is FORM
ulated."

In reply to direct question whether
he will be candidate for the senator.
ship, Judge Crisp said:
81 am now a candidate, as you have
doubtless observed, for reelection as
speaker of the next house of representa-
tives. do not think will have oppo-
sition for the Office. In fact,
do not believe there was ever
any serious intention on the part of the
next congress to oppose me for the
place. l. of course, appreciate the

from him by his wife saying he would
remain in the city all night and com g
out in the morning. Since that time
Mr.. Dunham, the blonde beauty of Pas
adena. has been numbered among the
hissing.
1t was aecertained that the day be-
fore he left he had drawn out $40C
which be had on deposit in the First
National Bank of Pasadena, the result
of his savings from the liberal interest
Mr.. Ballard gave him few months be-
fore.
His wife had separate bank account
OF her own, and Mr.. Dunham tried to
wheedle her into putting it with his
account, making 1t all one; by the ad-
vice OF her mother she did not do this,
and her little fund did not fall into the
hands OF her husband.
MIR. Ballard was seen by HERALD re-
porter yesterday and said that he was
glad that the exposure had come as
soon as it did and freed his family from
such man as Dunhsm.
But" eaid he. with quiet determine
ton, "the next thing will be to find
him. desire you to cay that / offer a
reward of 800 for the arrest OF Dunham
| will find the evidence If any one will
find and arrest the man."
'Did you see Mrs. Dunham, No. l, at
San Bernardino, Mr.. BallardY'
"Yes. when we. ascertained that he
had wife there, / went to San Bernar-
dino. l think there must be q mistake
in the name as published. If the
maiden name was Miss Mary A. Floyd,
Durham has three wives. because the
lady saw was formerly Miss Lou Cor
bett."
1t thus appears that Dunham worked
his plans with much cunning, and had
it not been for the accidental fright
which he sustained. would probably
have stil been enjoying the good
things which his hypocrisy had secured
for him. Mr.. Ballard expresses the ut
most earnestness in his determination,
if possible, to find the young man and
turn him over to the authorities, if it
can be done, and his offer of reward is
made without any conditions OF convic-
ton after arrest.

Officer McKeag and booked at the city
Jail as drunk.
Clay had narrow escape from in

While in an intoxicated condition he
laid himself across the Southern Pacific
railroad track on the east side. The en-
gineer of the overland train noticed a
dark object on the track and stopped
his train within a few feet of Clay's
body. Clay was too drunk to appre-
ciate the narrowness of his escape last

full this morning.

RELICS OF THE BUCCANEERS.
Two Cannon Found by Fishermen and

Two Cannon Found by Fishermen and
Pulled Up Out of Galveston Bay.
GALVESTON, Tex. June 3.-Only a short
time ago Charles Cronea. who as a boy made
one trip with LATTE, the famous buccaneer
died at his home on Bolivar Peninsula at an
advanced age, aud now another memory Of the
Baratian chief is revived.
Recently some fishermen who were following
the fish about the shores of Galveston bay cast
their nets near Virginia Point. some seven miles
from the city. during an extremely low tide
and they became entanSled in something rest
ing on the bottom OF the bay.
Investigation disclosed the fact that the
obstruction consisted of two cannon deeply
imbedded in the mud. After much labor
they were fshed out and brought to the
city. The guns. which are Of copper
mixed with small quantities Of silver.
were considerably corroded by the action of
the salt water, but the application of chemicals
speedily cleaned tn EN- and they i1ow appear as
good as new. The two pieces are OF the same
make and weigh about $50 pounds each. aud
both bear the inscription Santa Fe De Bogota,
Juno ID, 17SS.'
One is stamped sci Cruel" and the other "El
Furte." There seems to be no doubt that these
guns once formed portion of the armament of
one OF La Elites vessels, for it wellknown fact
that in 1918, while that pirate chief held
possession Of Galveston island. terrible hurri-
cane swept over the place, driving four of his
schooners ashore on Virginia Point, where thew
were afterward burned by savages and the
greater portion OF their crews drowned.

Review OF the Market.

The following is from the advanced sheets Of
the Weekly Financial Review published by Henry
Ciews Il Co.:
''The tone OF business in Wall street retains
part at least Of the improvement noted in our
advices of last week, but the feeling is still
vaciiating. Confidence is. On the whole. gain
ing steadily but cautiously and slowly. In
some branches OF business there is a noticeable
improvement. especially in grocery and dry
goods, which is all indication o. returning vital
ity in the staple departments Of trade.
The returns of the railroads also show
very gratifying improvement. Under all
the circumstances there seems to be good
reason for expecting that the present disturbed
condition of credit will gradually subside into
settled conservative attitude. awaiting the re-
suits of the important legislation to be under
taken by the next session OF Congress. which is
perhaps all that can be expected under the
broad commercial and financial reconstruction
that must occupy the attention Of the country
for several months to come.

IT WAS A NARROW ESCAPE.
A St. Lawrence River Steamer Nearl
Wrecked in the Lachine Rapids.

St. Lawrence River Steamer Nearly
Wrecked in the Lachine Rapids.
MONTREAL, June 3.-The little passenger
steamer Bon Esprit, with about fifty people on
board, had a narrow escape from being dashed
to pieces In the Lachine rapids, just above the
city of Montreal, yesterday evening.
The steamer runs between Lachine and the
Indian village of Caushnawasa across the river,
both places being at the head of the Lachine
tremendous current there, and to reach the
other side the boat had to 60 up the river and
then drop down.
the boats machinery gave way and she COM
menced to drift heplessly toward the head of
the rapids. There was immediate panic on
board. women and children running about the
deck of the steamer screaming.
Capt. Gauthler and his mates in VAN at
tempted to restore order and getting out
sweeps tried to drive the steamer over toward
Caughnawaga shore. The steamer WAS tossing
about Just at the head of the rapids. when sew
eral canoes of Indians put out from Caughna-
waga to her help.
Ropes were thrown to the canoes, which at
tempted to tow the little craft toward the
shore.
They were only partially successful. The
steamer went at a terrific rate down the rapids
but fortunately grounded ON the Caughnawaga
side before the worst part OF the rapids had
been reached. The shock threw most OF the
passengers to the deck and stove in the bows
OF the boat.
The passengers were brought into Montreal
BIZ train.

SENSATIONAL FAILURE IN CHICAGO.

Schanrer & Co. Assign-Rumored Suicide of
the Head OF the House.
CHICAGO. May Sherman Schatfner & Co..
private bankers, made q complete assignment
today.
Schaffner Co. have been the largest private
concern in this city. in the orshwest, dealing
exclusively in commercial paper The firm was
also one of the Oldest of its kind in Chicago.
No statement OF the affairs of the bank was
filed in court on the application for a receiver.
The assignment Of the bank was made to the
American Trust and Savings Bank. Early
today tine cashier Of that institution visited tho
bank at the Title and Trust building only to
find large and demonstrative crowd assem-
bled and the doors closed.
To add to the excitement ID was reported that
Schaffner had committed suicide.
1t Is stated that the creditors of the bank will
lose nothing. Attorney Levy MAYER, repre-
senting the assignee. stated that, even in the
event of a forced liquidation, there will be
enough money 10 meet all liabilities The firm
was considered one of the most solid private
banks In the country. It did q small deposit
and brokerage business, and its greatest bust
ness was a commercial brokerage business with
ban ks all over the country.
In the regular course OF its business the bank
sold commercial paper without indorsing it and
also without any liability. Most of the paper
was bought on the strength Of mercantile
houses by which it was in dorsed.
DISAPPEARANCE OF scHAFPNER.
The assignment was undoubtedly caused by
the disappearance of Hermann Schaffner, the
senior member of the firm, Of which the other
member is A. T. Becker. Yesterday noon Schaf-
rer left bis coat in the office and stated to his
partner that he was going out on errand.
since then nothing has been seen or heard Of
hi n. He has pot been at his home at 32l7
Wabash avenue, and the police have
made vain efforts to discover his
whereabouts. This fact started a
rumor on the board of trade this morning that
he had committed suicide.
The worst is feared by his friends and bust
ness associates. Mr.. Schaffner's partner was
SO much moved over the Disappearance Of his
associate that last night he became i'll, and to-
day he is at home suffering from the depres-
sion and so i'll that he is confined to his bed.
The bank had been in trouble for several
days and the inf sending disaster appeared to
have most distressing effect upon MIR.
Schaffner. No statement o; the assets and
liabilities has been made or is possible until the
assignee goes over the books.
meeting of those interested in the bank
will be held Monday or Tuesday next to see
about resuming business.
