SOLID STAND OF BANKS.
Action of the New York Clearing
House Association.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. 23.-The
Clearinghouse Association held largely
attended meeting at noon to-day, all the
prominent banks of the city being repre-
sented. The session was very short, last
ing only seven minutes. After going into
session the following resolution was i'm
plediately adopted:
ReSolued That committee of five be ap-
pointed by the chair, with the president, to
receive from bank members of the association
bills receivable and other securities, to be ap-
proved by said committee, who shall be author
lied TO issue to such depositing banks loan GER
tifcates bearing interest at per cent and a
sixteenth on the face therefor, and such loan
certificates shall not be in excess of the market
value OF the securities of bills receivable SO
deposited, and such certificates shall be paid
in settlement of balances at the clearing
house, and all the rules and regulations here
tofore adopted in the issue OF such certificates
shall be in force in the present issue.
The following was the committee ap-
pointed: F. D. Tappan, president of the
Gallatin National Bank (chairman); j.
! Edward Simmons of the Fourth National
Bank, Henry W. Cannon of the Chase
National Bank, George G. Williams of the
Chemical National Bank, E. H. Perkins
Jr. OF the Importers and Traders and w.
a. Nash of the Corn Exchange.
This is the same committee which acted
during the panic of 1898.
1t was announced that no banks applied
for any certificates.
After the conclusion of to-day's clearing
house meeting President Tappan said:
"Our action to-day was taken purely as a
preventive measure. We want to show
the, business men of this country that
there is a strong power behind them"
On the occasion of a similar action of
the clearinghouse in the panic of 1898,
. over $42, 100000 of certificates were issued
by the loan committee. The commission
of 1-16 per cent on clearinghouse certif-
Gates goes to the clearinghouse to cover
the work of issuing the certificates. No
commission was charged in 1898, but on all
issues previous to that a commission Of u
OF 1 per cent was charged.
1t is believed that the action of the
banks will tend to prevent or at least di-
minish the gold shipments.

MAXIMUM FREIGHT RATES.
The Case Uatched With Interest by Ne
br0Skans.

br0SEans.
LINCOLN, NEBR., Dec. 23.-The action
of the United States Supreme Court at
Washington in naming an early day for
consideration of the maximum freight rate
appeal was received with much satisfac-
ton by Attorney General Churchill, who
has the case in charge. The Maximum
Freight bill was passed by the Legislature
in 1892, after one of the most bitter prelim-
mary struggles in the history OF Nebraska
legislation. 1t was passed by very mar
row majority, and much pressure was
brought ON Governor Crounz to veto it, as
had Governor Boyd similar bill two
years before. Governor Crounz approved
it, however, and then the railroads af-
fected combined and carried it to the Fed
eral Court. where Judge Dundy declared ii
unconstitutional on the ground that the
reduction of rates was excessive. From
Judge Dundy it went to the Federal Court
of Appeals at st. Paul, Mimi, which, with
out passing on its merits, referred it in
turn to the court of last resort. The out
come of the noted case will be watched
with much interest by the people of Ne
braska.

men guarding them cut and bruised by
bricks and other missiles.
The various squads of policemen stationed
at central points were kept busy hurrylng
to and fro to disperse the mobs. The most
serious disturbance of the day occurred at
Seventeenth street and Girard avenue.
Here big crowd attacked car guarded
by two policemen. The assault by the
mob upon the car was vigorous and deter
mined and it seemed as if the motorman
and policemen would be killed. Finally,
when Policeman Usherback had had his
wrist broken and his head cut open with
brick, he drew his revolver and fired into
the crowd. William II. Matthews, strik-
ing motorman, was shot in the head ana
Samuel G. Crossley was shot in the knee.
AS soon as the policeman opened fire the
crowd scattered and trampled each other
under foot in their effort to get out OF range
of the bullets. Matthews and Crossley
were taken to the hospital. The former
has only scalp wound. but the latter was
shot in the knee and is IN a precarious con-
dition. The doctors cannot probe for the
ball, and even if he lives he will lose his
leg.
Through their attorneys the strikers this
afternoon filed an application in the Court
of Common Pleas for the appointment OF
board of arbitration under a former COM
pulsory arbitration act.
-Four men accused of rioting in the
streets were severely dealt with to-day In
the Criminal Court. They were among
the rioters arrested on Tuesday for smash

The performance opened with the 49,
pound class, and the first pair to appear
were Billy Smith of Philadelphia and

put on. Leon was declared the winner
after five rounds had been fought.

Woods of San Francisco opened the 1856

throughout. Young had big advantage
in weight and got the decision at the end
of four rounds.
Sam Tonkins of Astoria, l.. l., made
short work of Tom Manly of st. Louis,
described as 1.-THE champion of Missouri" !"
Tonkins had the champion" at his mercy
and knocked him about at will. Manly
was so clearly outclassed that the referee
stopped the bout and gave the decision to
onkins after two minutes and forty Sec
nds of the first round.
The final bout of the 135-pound class
and of the evening was between Bobby
Dobbs of Minneapolis and Billy Hill of
Boston, better known as the "Pickaninny''
both colored After six rounds had been
fought, the referee decided that as they
were so evenly matched they should both
go into the finals.

A SUBSTANTIAL ADVANCE.
Philadelphia Securities Take an Up.
ward Turn.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 23.-There
was substantial advance to-day in the
prices of all securities actively dealt in on
the Stock Exchange, and a decidedly bet
ter feeling was manifested in brokers'
offices and in bank parlors. The local
money market, while firm, has not been
disturbed by any extraordinary demands !;
in fact, feature of the market to-day was
the voluntary repayment of call loans by
number of stock brokerage firms. Time
money was quoted at to 6 per cent and
call loans at TO per cent.
The subject of issuing clearing house
certificates, an extreme measure to which
the New York banks have just resorted,
has not been even Informally considered
IN this city, neither the condition of the
local banks nor the state of the money
market affording any occasion for such a
radical stem

Peuple says that ]. ]. Bousquet, ex-cashieI
of that bank, left this city on Friday for

There was no action either criminal or
civil pending against Bousquet, though
there had been considerable talk of bring
ing one against him and others for con-
