BUSINESS OF THE BANKS.
Funds for Moving Crops In Demand
A Review Of Finance for the
Past Week.

New York, Aug. 5.-The New York
Financier says: A decrease of $1,077, 400
in the excess reserve carried by the as
sociated banks of this city is a favorable
feature of the bank statement made for
the week ending August 3. The changes
in cash holdings we're unimportant. Had
it not been for the expansion in loans
the reserve would have swelled something
like million dollars. A large part of
this gain undoubtedly came from the in
terror movement, which is maintained in
larger volume than has been anticipated,
but money rates, in view of the long pre-
dicted advance, are very tempting and
shrewd borrowers are taking advantage
of the opportunity which may not occur
again. The demand for discounts from
the west and south is also increasing and
some large sums have been placed within
the past few days.
The treasury is preparing for the busi-
ness which it will be called to do in the
way of transferring funds by telegraph
as they are called for.
The rates for funds have shown no
material change, although the gold ex-
ports have complicated the situation to
some extent.
Exports of specie from the port of
New York for the week amounted to ST.
1854 in gold and $752,845 in silver.
The imports we're: Gold $141, 500; silver,
$15,446; dry goods, $3,150,72 general
merchandise, 5000, 1O8.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 5. - Senator

ceived from representatives of about

GRANT LANDS.
Secretary smith Makes an Important
Ruling-A Turn Down for the
Railroads.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Sec. Hoke Smith
has rejected indemnity list No. "a of the
Southern Pacific Railway company for
4,444 acres of land in the Stockton, In
dependence, Visalia, San Francisco and
Los Angeles districts in California. The
list is rejected because the lands so
chosen were covered by expired but un-
cancelled pre-emption filings at the date
of the attachment of the rights of the
railroad.
The case is an extremely important one.
Heretofore the practice has been that if a
pre-emption filing within the limits of an
indemnity grant had expired the land be-
came subject to the grant, although the
entries were uncancelled. The new ruling
is based on the decision of the supreme
court at its last term in the case of Whit
ney VS.. Taylor, and the effect will be to
restore large amount of land to the
public domain.

MISSOURI SILVER WINGS.
Democratic White Metal Convention
O-mOrrOw-AenntOr COckPell aNd
'Silver Dick" Bland Oh the
Ground.

Kansas City, Aug. 5.-A special to the
Star from Pertle Springs, Mo-, says:
"Silver Dick" Bland arrived here this
morning to lead the forces and frame the
resolutions which will be adopted by the
Democratic silver convention tomorrow.
Barring Senator Cockrell, who lives here,
Bland is the only star attraction on the
ground. Bland had not been here an hour
before he was out in an emphatic declara-
tlon to his trusted friends that the time
had arrived when silver men should as
sumo control of the party machinery.
The state central committee will meet
in the morning to decide upon tempor-
ary organization of the convention,
which will be convened at noon. The
committee will probably name Bland for
temporary chairman. Gov. Stone, it is
believed, can have the permanent chair
manship if he wants it. A scheme was
developed to-day, whereby the silver men
intend to secure the state machinery and
majority of the state committee. The
plan is to let the present committee re-
main and to elect one new member from
each congressional district and three
from the state at large, making com
mittee of thirty-four members instead of
sixteen, as at present constituted.

PUMPING GOLD.
Success in Colorado Enterprises that
Could he w WOrked In New
Mexico.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, August s.
The North American Gold company has
granted number of new licences for the
erection of plants for the operation of
the Pearce filters. Among them are J. C.
Meyers, for the Pacific coast below San
Francisco, and one for plant between
Kansas City and Florence, in the Arkan-
sas valley. The Carbon Gold Precipi-
tating company has granted franchise
license to well known business firm at
Oceanside, San Diego, California, to con-
struct large plant on the Pacific ocean
beach. Another plant will also be erected
at Yuma, Ariz., which will operate on the
Colorado river.
The Phillip B. mine, in West Colorado
Springs, is now producing 1880 gallons
per day, or 312 tons, which run 10 cents
per ton in gold. With the present plant,
the Pearce process is saving $3l 20 every
"a hours from this amount of water.

AN IRRIGATION LAW.
One to BE Drawn and Laid Before the
National Meeting Mt albuquerque.

Los Angeles, CAL, Aug. 5.-Secretary s.
Allies, of the national committee of the ir-
rigation congress, says that a bill similar
to the Wright act, which was recently
declared unconstitutional, will be pre-
sented for approval at the congress TO
be held in September at Albuquerque.
Since the recent decision of Judge Ross
on the validity of the matter in question,
there mas been great deal of cor
respondence between people of the coun-
try interested in irrigation.
1t is expected that at the coming con-
gress an act will be prepared with q
view to having it adopted in as many of
the states of the arid west as may be. 1t
will be drawn in some respects like the
present Wright irrigation law, but will
have eliminated from it such features as
would probably cause the courts to de-
eide against its validity.

BOARDING WHITE METAL.
Silver Men Lay Much Stress Upon
Significant Action of Bank
of France.
Belief That Consumption Of Silver Ex-
ceeds the Supply and That the De-
mand Will Soon Be Urgent

Denver, Aug. 5.-A special to the
Times from New York says: The silver
men are laying good deal of stress on
the fact that the Bank of France in its
weekly statements shows a steady decrease
in its gold hold. 3 and steady increase
in it's silver holdings. II s noted that as
the Bank of France began to accumulate
gold, it let its silver holdings decline.
Now the reverse process is going on. 1t
is also noted that the Bank of Frances
movements in the past have generally
been in advance of other nations. The
fact that silver is being used by S00,000,-
600 people, while gold has been steadily
boarded, give the silver men a strong be-
lief that the consumption of silver is be-
yond the present production and that the
demand for the metal must soon be ur-
gent. ....

NATIONAL CAPITAL BUDGET.
State Department Not Excited Over
Reported Hawaiian Filibusterers
in California.
Naval Officials Relieved that No Amer
leans Were Massacred in China
All Quiet in jackson Hole
Country.

Washington, Aug. 5.--The report of the
organization of large filibustering ex
petition at San Francisco, to attack the
Hawaiian government and re-enthrone
the queen, has given no concern at the
state department for the reason that
several similar publications. recently
have, it is said, been shown after careful
investigation to have been groundless.
1t is not doubted that some person or
persons in San Francisco have been en-
couraging the idea that they were en-
gagged in organizing such expeditions, but
their motives are believed to be desire
to achieve notoriety for some ulterior
reason. That the last motive may be the
correct one in this last case is suspected
at the department. from the fact that the
organizer has ingeniously asked each ap-
plicant for enlistment to put up $16,
ostensibly for clothing and arms.
QUIET AMONG THE INDIANS.
A telegram, received to-day from Gen.
Coppinger's headquarters, says that three
scouts from the Black Rock creek coun-
try report all quiet among the Indians.
Private advlces at the department say
that there is more danger from the white
men attacking the Indians than from the
Indians taking the offensive.

A DRIVER BOYS FATE
Found Dead in q West Shenandoah
COlliery Gangway
WAS LYING IN THE DITCH
and 1t Is Believed the Mule
Found standing Near
Kicked Him.
WAS LYING IN THE DITCH

A strange fatal accident occurred in a
gangway of the West Shenandoah col
liery yesterday. The victim was Alex.
Robusky, aged II years, and residing on
South Jardin street. He was employed as
a driver in the mine.
When Thomas Mccormick, a contractor,
was walking out through the gangway he
found a mine car and mule standing in
darkness. Upon passing to the side of the
car the rays from the mining lamp on his
hat fell upon the PROSTATE form of Ro-
husky, which was lying in the ditch.
The body was stretched out with face up
turned and was warm. At first McCor-
mick thought the boy had tainted, but a
second glace at the face told of the pres
ence of death. The boys cap and lamp
were on his head, but the light was ex-
tinguished. There was no place from
which the victim could have fallen and no
indications that anything had fallen upon
him, or that he had been crushed between
the car and the timbers of the gangway, or
under the car. Mccormick summoned
other men in the mine and the body was
removed to the outlet in the car.
In handling the body after removal from
the mine it was discovered that the neck
was broken and the only mark of violence
observable on the body was a discolora-
ton on the neck. The conclusion arrived
at is that Robusky was kicked in the neck
by the mule he was driving, which was the
one Mccormick found standing near the
body. The boy is supposed to have been
kicked about fifteen minutes before the
body was found and death must have been
instantaneous
