no abatement of the custom and in
the towns and cities there is a covert

LOOKING BETTER.
The Financial Situation Much Easier, and
New York Banks More Confident.

The Financial Situation Much Easier, and
New York Banks More Confident.
New YORK. June 24.-Banks reported
an easier feeling in the west and said
that the demands for accommodation
for currency were much less. The at
ton of bankers to-day was mostly con-
centrated on the situation on the Pa
cific coast. At the sub-treasury it was
said that $500, 900 in currency was eX-
changed to-day for transfer to San
Francisco. Besides gold thus trans
ferred shipments of currency were
made direct to-day to the city by ex-
press which made the aggregate
amount of money forwarded to-day
about 81, 900. 900, and more will be sent
tomorrow in the same way. 1t is be-
lieved that the help sent to San Fran
cisco from this city has relieved tn,
stringency there SO that beyond tn e
failure of the Pacific bank no further
trouble is expected.
DIR. r. II. Mcdonald, president of the
Pacific bank, who is stopping at the
Astor house. was shocked when he
heard that the bank was closed. He
said: Though president of the bank,
/ have not been active in its manage
ment for some time l am sufficiently
familiar with the affairs Of the institu-
ton, however, to feel confidence that
there is no chance for any of the de-
positors to lose anything. / think it
will liquidate for almost the amount OF
its capital and surplus-S1, 900, coo and
$500, 600 respectively"
The sub-treasury began the pay ment
of interest on United States coupon
bonds due July 1. The number of cou
pons presented for payment, however.
was not large. Holders of registered
bonds will probably get their checks
presented The total amount of inter
est to be paid out by the government
in this city is about IS, 600, 900. The
disbursement of this sum is expected tc
figure largely in the relief of the money
market, as it VIII. to some extent, re-
1ieve the pressure for money to pay
railway and other dividends July L.
The presidents of some of the lending
national banks were asked what they
they thought of the financial situation.
They agreed in the statement that, not
withstanding the number of banks
which were being compelled to close
their doors in San Francisco and else
where. the situation was decidedly i'm
proved compared to what 1T was this
day week.
1.-THE situation is much easier" said

erty to discount for my dealers much
more freely to-day than did this day

SUNDAY At THE WORLDS FAIR.

DR.. Thomas breaches the Sermon and the
Apollo Club Furnishes the Music.
CHICAGO, June 26.-ssWe all believe
in an American Sabbath as a day OF
rest, a day of pure social enjoyment and
a day of worship The worlds fair Is
in itself a great church and needs no
religious service to make it right to
open the gates on Sunday The
services in this place to-day will be
carried on in the same spirit as they
would be in regularly ordained house
OF God. excepting that no collection
will be taken up.
Prefacing the first sermon within the
gates of the exposition on Sunday
with these words. Rev. DIR. Thomas,
facing the audience of 5, 200 persons in
Festival hall in the afternoon. called the
attention of his hearers to the text
taken from John xvii 81: THAT they
all may be one: us Thou Father art in
me and 1 in Thee: that they may be
one in us: shat the world may believe
that Thou has sent me"
The day was warm yet the visitors to
the fair came in great numbers to listen
to the word of God. As the Apollo
club of Chicago. about 500 strong. were
singing the famous old hymn. ''Olivet,"
the crowds poured in at every door.
and as the singing was concluded the
attendance numbered about 5000.
Every body remained until the services
were over and remarkably close atten-
ton was given the speaker. After in
voking divine blessing upon the people
assembled together, the president and
officials of the great fair, DIR. Thomas
proceeded wi tn his sermon
Mans world is divided. he said, but
there should be a great oneness here
betw cen human beings as they are
all SO near alike physically. There
may be vast difference in mental pow
ers; one man may be at the bottom and
the other at the top OF the ladder But
man is man and all are equal Man
stands alone in himself. He is self-con-
scious of his being: this being now car
ried up the present self-consciousnesS
is now dealing with all kinds of truth
The standard Of truth is esta blished
by different races as their intel
! hgence dictated. Conscience is the
! same everywhere. Conscience tells us
to do what we think is right and what
is not right. The prayer of Christ was
| that all these people be one and they
eventually will
DR. Thomas then reviewed the legis-
ldtlVe era OF the 1alr ana told now the
present beautiful city OF white palaces
had been erected on what was three
years ago a marshy waste He said:
Man is the helper OF man"
The hymn Bethany" and 4 benedic-
ton dismissed the audience If later

upon, as there was 10 instrumental
music except from piano, upon which
Prof. Tomlins performed and directed

been selected to preach next Sunday,
but a number of local ministers Will be

RANGooN, June 26.-For several days
the Moslems had been preparing to Gel
citrate religious festival Yesterday
morning they were forbidden by Mr..
Fleming, the British magistrate, to
sacrifice COW near the Hindoo temple.
Mr. Fleming had threatened to issue
this order and the Mohammedans
were greatly excited just before
the hour of sacrifice, when police
appeared near the temple with
the announcements. the Mohammed-
ans began stoning them. The police
charged without firing, but the Mo-
hammedans held their ground stub
bornly and fought back with sticks
and stones. Mr.. Fleming. who had
gone to the spot as special policeman,
was wounded. The policemen with
drew. got reinforcements and charged
again without effect. Mr.. Fleming
then ordered them 10 fire. A volley was
delivered at close quarters Twenty
Mohamnedans fell dead and many
more were wounded severely.
AS the Mohamruedans still refused to
disperse, the military were called out.
Four companies charged on the double
quick with fixed bayonets- Moha mme-
dams dispersed slowly and still fighting
although many mad been wounded in
the charge of the troops. They gath
cred again, however. in a street
a short distance from the tenn
pie. They were hardly dispersed
before they reassembled in anoth-
er street. A desultory fight between
them and the troops was in prog
ress all the afternoon All the military
were occupied in clearing the streets
Many Mohammedans and Hindoos have
been killed. Scores have been wounded.
Nevertheless they showed no signs o.
yielding. but as fast as they were driven
from one district they gathered again in
another. The regulars are regarded
as unequal to the work OF sUbduine
them and volunteers have been called

was necessary Garrison let the horse
loose and he moved forward as If the

This is what Fred TaraI has to say:

Speeches sIade at the Worlds Fair Bank

Speeches Hfade at the Worlds Fair Bank
ers' Congress
CHICAGO, June 24-The announce
ment that the silver question was to be
discussed filled the hall OF the art pal
ace, where the bankers held their con-
gress- The discussion of the great
financial problem was keen one, and
was closely followed by the bankers
present. Both silver and anti-silver
men were present and spoke for their
beliefs The first speaker was James
III. Plat, of Colorado. Mr.. Platt is a
firm believer in silver and stated his
views boldly. He said:
The remedy for the evils under
which we are now suffering is the
restoration of silver to its place as a
money, which it held successfully for
seventy-siX years, until it was demon
cited. The safest way to judge of the
future is by the past. For eleven years
the United States carried the double
standard alone among the nations
During that time we were the most
prosperous nation in the world At
the very time when in that confused
night session the insidious amendment
was introduced which took the minting
privilege from silver we were paid 81. So
for an ounce of silver. After maintain
ing for eleven years the standard of
silver alone among the nations of the
world, the white metal was at a pre-
MUM of per cent. over gold.
Let our coinage laws be fixed &c
suit ourselves Under that collection
of misera BILE makeshifts and blunders
known as the Sherman law 4, 900, 900
silver dollars had been coined. That
Ubiquitous law was passed in a confused
session. was member of that con-
gress and 1 state positively that when
the question on the passage of the bill
was put there were not more than six
votes aye and not a no. I wish to
say that I know that If the mem berS OF
that house were aware of the provisions
of the bill it would have been defeated
by two-thirds vote
Mr.. P1att said that $500, 600 had been
raised in England and was sent over
here by confidential agent for the
purpose of securing the decentralization
of silver. This amount the agent re-
ported that he spent in the accomplish
ment of his object and while the speak
er disbelieveS that the money was used
to corrupt members of congress the
same object was attained. He re-
ferred to the Bland bill as a compro-
mise measure and prevented the evils
that it was said would follow IN It's
course.
James Rockwell. of New Y orl1, spoke
on Universal Bimetallism- He de-
clared that gold and silver were com
modities, such as wheat. whisky or
corner lots and that their value was
regulated by the law of supply and de-
mand. He explained at length the
relative values of gold and silver and
argued in favor of free coinage.
