CINCINNATI Banks Exercised

CINCINNATI, June 21.-The banks
and capitalists on the board of trade
are exercised over circular letter
from D. N. Morgan, United States
treasurer, directing the sub-treasurer
to secure all gold possible here, and
asking the banks and others to ex-
change gold in sums of 800, 900 in null
tiples for new paper currency. The
Ohio Valley bank had promised the
sub-treasury $50, 600 of gold yesterday,
but the prospect of a premium on gold
renders it doubtful whether any coin
will be released here.

A Triple Alliance Probable.

CHICAGO, June 21.-President Debs,
of the American Railway union, said
to-day that steps would soon be taken
to form a triple alliance between the
Knights of Labor, the American Rail-
way union and the Farmers Alliance.
The alliance thus formed would con-
troll, he said, about 100000 men. A
convention under the auspices of the
Illinois State Federation of Labor
would be held at Springfield, July 2, 8
and 4, and then the proposed union
would probably be effected without
opposition

NEW SILVER BILL
Senator squire Has One That He Bellows

Senator Squire Has One That He Believe
VIII Receive Favorable Consideration.
WASHINGTON, June 20. = Senator
Squire and many of the republican BIZ
metallists believe that the bill which
the Washington senator recently in
trodu ced, regulating free coinage OF
silver, will be a compromise upon
which the republicans can unite in the
next campaign
In an interview last night he stated
the finance committee would probably
take this bill up for consideration as
soon as the tariff was disposed of. The
Bland bill of 1878 he contends was
wrong in principle, because it provided
that the government should buy silver
instead of coming it for whoever
brought it to the mint. With proper
safeguards free coinage is claimed to
be the safe policy with the parity main
tanned between all classes of money.
Regarding the operation of his meas
ure Senator Squire said:
Ny bill provides that the difference between
the commercial value and the coin value OF 9
silver dollar shall go into the treasury of the
United States as a reserve to maintain parity
of value, and it limits the coinage OF silver &C
100000 per month, which would absorb q very
large proportion of the highest production Of
silver of this country, and more than the pres
ent production; and it also limits the coinage
so as to prevent an increase in the tota!
amount of lawful money OF all kinds
beyond $40 per capita, which is but little more
than the per capita now in circulation in
France, which is about SS7 per capita, but as
the present amount in circulation In the
United States is only small fraction over ST
per capita, that limit would provide an i'm
mense addition to our currency, amounting
with present population, to more thar
$500 100000, a sum large enough to provide fol
all possible requirements, but fixing a limit
which would prevent any fear of unreasonable
or too rapid imitation and consequent deprecia-
ton our currencv

The Epidemic Now Raging In Hong Kong
China.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 20.-The steamer
Be1gic arrived yesterday with details
of the black plague now raging al
Hong Kong. Despite the operations
of the sanitary staff and the police, as
sisted by the army medical staff corps
and soldiers from the Sharp Shire regi-
ment, about 500 new cases had been re-
ported within a week and there had
been 400 deaths up to May "a.
News from Canton, where the plague
started, states that the death rate now
averages 200 day. During March and
April they averaged 500 daily. Al
though the fact that the "black death
was raging in Canton became known
only about a month ago, it appears
that the disease started as long ago as
last February
