TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD.
An Atlanta Paper Sends Brigade to Clear
 the Capitol. s-.-sssss. -ss.-s-.sa=.-

Atlanta, May 18.-Last Tuesdays Daily Commercial of this city printed an arti- cle stating that the Georgia state cap itol was in a frightful condition. Gov ernor Atkinson was absent from the city. at the time. He returned yesterday and a representative of the Commercial was sent to interview him regarding the ar ticle and the condition of the capitol. The governor was asked if he intended to take any steps towards having the building put in proper condition. Gov ernor Atkinson was angry and replied that he did not. He added that as the Commercial had made the condition of the building it's business the Commercial might clean it out. This was reported to the management of the paper, who de- termined to accept the governors propo- sition. This morning a brigade of men armed with scrubbing brushes and buck cts and headed by a representative of the paper, proceeded to the capitol Ev- cry door of the building was locked At the main entrance the brigade was informed that they could not enter by an attache, who had been stationed as guard at the door. The brigade retired in good order. It is understood that the work of cleaning the building will be taken up by the state next week

SHOWS HEAVY CHANGES.
The Weekly Bank Statement-The Syndicate Repaid Its Debt in Paper Currency E
 Expansion in Loans

New York. May 1S.-The weekly state ment of the associated banks shows the following changes:
 Reserve, increase, $6,5l7 800.
 Loans, increase, $6374, 500.
 Specie decrease, $64390
 Legal tender, increase, $11, ,14S,000
 Deposits, increase, $15.945600
 Circulation, increase, $29,0 ,000.
 The banks now hold $37, ,5S7, 300 in excess of the requirements of the 25 per cent rule.
 The Financier says the foregoing statement shows some of the heaviest changes reported in months An analy- sis however, is an easy matter, as the enormous increases are due to causes fully outlined in this article last week. For one thing, the repayment of $12,OOQ,- 900 to the banks, which advanced the spe- cie for the last gold loan, accounts for the expansion of $15,945,000 in deposits, and also for the increase of $11 14S 100 in the legal tender item. With reference to the latter it is evident that the sXndi- cate repaid it's debt in paper currency. Fifteen or sixteen millions in legal ten- ders were withdrawn from the banks some weeks since, and the sudden reap pearancc of this money confirms what the Financier said at the tiIne--that the fund was held under the control of the syndicate.
 The one bright feature of the statement is the expansion of S6,374 600 in loans. but from banking standpoint this is over shadowed by the. increase of $6.517, 500 in the excess reserve. The banks gained not less than $5.000,000 from the interior movement and treasury disbursements during the week. although the statement does nbt show the total increase in cash. The loss of $643.9o0 in specie is due to the fact that some of the banks are depositing more gold with the treas ury in compliance with the famous double liability contract with the Mor- gan Belmont syndicate. In view of these changes there is no reason to predict anything like a harder money market. The demand from the interior has so far failed to come up to expectations.

The Northern Assembly.

Pittsburg Pa, May 1S.-The third days session of the Presbyterian General as- sembly opened this morning with re- sumption of the debate on the question of seminary control Both parties were compact and determined on this, the most important issue which has been before the church since the reunion in 1870
 The liberals have gathered strength from the peace loving conservatives and from the timid friends of the seminaries who fear dreadful results to their beloved institutions will follow assembly control trol of the seminaries stand only the ex- treme conservatives and they find in the assembly men and forces arrayed against them whom they have always counted in their following. The same men who would have voted against Briggs and Smith are against the anti Briggs leaders on this issue. So 1t hap

The committee, before it can ask the assembly to accept its dictum in regard to what the answers of the several boards should be. must show that the Judgments of the boards are wrong. Is not that large contract? He held that the assembly could not inn pose the same conditions upon semina- ries with different charters, founded un- der different conditions. He asked that under these conditions the assembly drop here any further pushing of this question.
 Elder McDougal followed. He ex- plained in detail the legal questions in- Volved in the proposed changes of sem mary charters.

ENDED IN DEFEAT.
The Miners Strike, According to Special
 to the Pittsburg Telegraph.


 to the Pittsburg Telegraph.
 Philadelphia, May 1S.-A special to the Evening Telegraph from Pittsburg says: The miners strike has ended in defeat all over the district. The refusal of the con vention to accept the 50 cent rate or meet Dearmits' price with the abolition of the company's store brought about the re- suit. The convention called for 69 cents or nothing and the miners got the latter. Ten mines went to work today under an iron-clad agreement at 60 cents, and sev- en mines resumed at 46 cents for thick vein coal. The iron-clad agreement in- cludes a deposit of 10 per cent of the earnings as a guarantee, the deposit be- ing forfeitable if the men join labor or ganization, attend labor meetings or strike. The resumption of work today is general, and the lowest estimate is that 5000 men are now at work under contract, leaving 1000 unemployed
