MIR. HERBERT PRESIDED,
Several Hundred Alumni and Friends of the University of Virginia Hold an En-
 thusiastic Meeting.

Washington, Nov. 2-Secretary Her bert presided at an enthusiastic meeting of several hundred alumni and friends of the University of Virginia, which was called to take action in regard to the con fagration of last Sunday, which de- stroyed the most important edifices of that famous institution. In calling the meeting to order the secretary declared that the university was the crownng work of Thomas Jeffersons career.
 President Thornton of the university wildly described the incidents of the fire and the heroic efforts of the students to save the valuables, especially the price less historical documents contained in the library, and announced that the ma tured plans of the faculty would be laid before the board of visitors next Mon- day for the immediate restoration of the central building and the construction of four distinct buildings for the depart ments of law, physics and engineering and the academical branches Postmas- ter-General Wilson in an impassioned ad- dress, which evoked vocferous applause, asserted that Jefferson, Madison and Monroe established the university as an essential feature of the United States, knowing that the nation could only sur vive with the support of such educational institutions. Gardiner S. Hubbard of Massachusetts showed that the universi- ty was the first that was worthy the name in America, and that even Harvard adopted it's example,
 Thomas Nelson Page presented resolu- tions regretting the calamity, advocating the restoration according to Jefferson's original plans and commenting the ac- tion of the students, which were adopted. Solicitor-General Conrad claimed that the whole nation was interested in the perpetuity of an institution which set the standard of personal honor so high among it's students and spread it's in- f1uence for truth and honesty over the entire country.
 Rev. Randolph McKim thanked God that Jefferson gave the university re- ligious freedom.
 A committee, consisting of Postmaster General Wilson, Secretary Herbert Su- preme Court Justice White, Thomas Nell son Page, Solcitor-G General Conrad, Gardiner G. Hubbard, Rev. Randolph McKim, l.. M. Blackford, Leigh Robin son, H. Wisegarnett E. l. Reinick, Prof W. D. Cabell, c. G. Lee. Joseph Willard, Jr., and Dr. L. w. Glazebrook, was ap- pointed to secure subscriptions to restore the university buildings.

THE FIGHTERS DISCHARGED
They Promise to Be Good Little Boys and Also Promise Not to Fight in Ar
 kansaS.

Little Rock, Nov 2.-At noon today Assistant Attarney-General Hemming- way appeared in the circuit court and stated that the state had received assur- ances thatsthe defendants, Fitzsimmons and Julian, would abstain from any un- lawful undertakings in the state. They had also agreed to leave the state Upon that assurance the state was willing to dismiss the peace warrant cases with tho understanding that if the defendants vii plated their pledge the case should be reinstated. MT. South, for the governor, stated that this was satisfactory. The court said that the defendants were &C., cording1y dismissed
 Neither FtZsimmons nor Julian were present. The attorney proceeded to Chancellor Martins court where simi- lar motion was made and granted as to Corbett and Brady. This leaves the pu- gilists free from legal restrictions, except as to the injunction issued yesterday, W hich still holds good and will be used should any attempt be made to pull off a fight.
 Corbett left for Hot Springs at o'clock. It is understood he will get his baggage together and leave for the east within short time. The Fitzsimmons party will stay in Little Rock and give a show on Monday night. There is still some talk of a fight at Fl Paso, but little stock is taken in it.

MOST EXTRAORDINARY.
The Make-Up of the French Cabinet Alarms the More Conservative Paris
 Journals.

Paris, Nov. 2-The Paris journals of conservative and moderate opinions re- gard the nomination of M. Berthelot to the office of minister of foreign affairs as most extraordinary.
 The Figaro says: with M. Cavignac directing the army, Lockroy the navy and Berthelot the diplomacy of France there is more than enough to larm those to whom the defense of the navy and our position in Europe are matters of concern"
 The Gaulofs expresses the belief that the Bourgeois cabinet will last longer than the moderates imagine.
 The new cabinet met today at the resi- dence of M. Bourgeois, the premier and formulated astatement which will be read in the senate and chamber of depu- ties on Monday. After the conference M. Bourgeois and his fellow ministers pro- ceedede to the palace of the Elysee, where the premier presented his colleagues to President Faure. Upon this occasion M. Bourgeois announced himself as custo- dian of the portfolio of the interior, to which ministry he later installed himself.

NETWORK BANK STATEMENT I
A Big Increase in the Reserve Is Shown-An Easy Money Market Is the
 Result.

New York, Nov. 2.-The New York Fi- nancier says this week:
 The statement of the associated banks of the city of New York for the week end ing November shows an increase in the reserve of $904, TOO, and reflects in meas ure the movement of money, or at least a counter balancing of it, which has been going on uninterruptedly for so many weeks. The amount of funds shipped to the interior has been decreas- ing rapidly since the first week of Octo- Der, and for the week just ended the re- ceipts of currency at New York exceeded the outgo.
 The banks gained $7O7,OOO in cash dur ing the week, the unusually heavy in- crease of $1,057, 100 in specie being offset by loss of $350 100 in legal tenders. This apparently indicates an easier tone for the local money market, since the eXpan- sion in the reserve will tend to increase the competition to place funds. There is said to be demand for more money, especially in the northwest, but it is too early to predict just how the market for funds will swing during the next four weeks.
 The contraction in loans continues, the decrease for the week being $1S01, ,000, which brings the total down to the $500,- 100000 mark again. The deposit item is also falling, and the decrease of $79O,S0 SiOWH III lle SldleIleIt, leaves lHe tOldl at s529 S62, 400, or about $48, ,0O0, 900 less than reported on August 10 last.
 The withdrawal of this money from the banks and the rapid expansion in the loan item, acting simultaneously explain better than anything else the change in money rates during the past season.
 It Is interesting to recall that the past week marks the second anniversary of the resumption of the issue of the de- tailed tables for clearing house banks, after lapse of nearly five months, dur ing which the clearing house committee Is understood to have cancelled $4I 800, 900 of clearing house certificates.
 Comparisons with the total for Novem- Der 4, 1893, are therefore of more than or dinary value. In the two years interven- ing the loans of the New York banks have increased over $9S, 900, 900; deposits have expanded $7200OO00 The banks are now carrying $19,000 900 more in legal ten ders than they held on November 4, 1893, but they have $33,000OO0 less in specie than they reported that week. The banks were then carrying an unusually heavy circulation, but last weeks volume just about equals it, the increase for the past six days being $402, 300, an unusually large amount.

The endorsement by the president of Secretary Herbert's ruling in connection with MT. Dickinsons brief IS as follows:
 After thoroughly considering the mat ter herein referred to, an appeal from the decision of the secretary of the navy, l am constrained to approve his action in rejecting the bid of the Detroit Dry Dock company for the construction of gunboats at Detroit on the great lakes.
 "The agreement made between the United States and Great Britain in 1SlI contains the stipulation that no such yes sels should be built on the great lakes. This agreement is too explicit to be ex- pIained away. While the passage of the exigency in which it originated and the change of conditions that have since occurred may furnish reasons for its an- nulment in the manner provided in the contract, they do not justify such plan disregarded of it as the carrying out ot the bid of the Dry Dock company would involve.
