New York Financial Market.

New York. Aug. S.-The New York
FinanCier says: 4 decrease Of $10T7, 400 in
the excess reserve carried by the asso-
ciated banks OF this city is a favorable
feature for the bank statement made for
the week ending August s. The changes
in cash holdings were unmportant Had
il not been for the expansion in loans the
reserve would have swelled something
like 81 .o10.oo \ large part Of this gain
undoubtedly came from the interior move
ment. which Is maintained in volume
larger than had been anticipated. but
money rates. in view of the long predict
81 advance, are very tempting, and
shrcwd borrowers are taking advantage
OF an opportunity which may not occur
aEain. The demand for rediscounts from
the West and South Is also increasing.
ard some large sums have been placed
within the past few DAYS. The treasury
Is preparing for the business which il viii
hc called upon 20 do IN the way of trans
ferrinC funds BY telegraph as ne are
called for. The rates for funds have
shown no material change. although the
gold exports have complicated the sjtUa-
alton TO some extent. The last withdraw
ais OF funds with which to secure gold
from the treasury are not reflected in the
statement for the current week.

attIe@" may be gathered from the answer
to the first question propounded by the
committee.
The fifth question. If the city shall va
cate any boulevards, streets or alleys, as
laid out either BY said tide land apprais-
ers, or as were laid out before said ap-
praisers acted in plating and appraIsing
said tide lands. will the city be liable TO
AUDITING property owners for damages &C.
cagioned thereby" is answered I'm the
negative, unless the court should hold
that the amendatory act is valid.
The sixth question, 'fWill the city be Te-
sp0nslbIe for damages oecasioned to abut-
provemenLs on the tide lands If the bouie-
wards. streets and alleys as laid out by
said tide land appraisers are adopted by
the city, or If they are now valid ?" is, for
the same reasons heretofore stated in the
opinion, answered In the negative.
Abutting Owners Pay for Streets.
The seventh question, Whether or no
the city can legally be required to bear
the expense of filling in the bouievards,
streets and alleys of the tide lands: when
such work shall be done?" Is also answer
ed in the negative, for the reason that the
act of March 8. 1893. authorizing the exca-
waiting OF waterways by private contract
provides that the cost of filling In ard
raising above high tide of all streets. al
Af3S anu EldIcS
be apportioned 10 the lands benefited
thereby.
In concluding his opinion, Mr.. Scott
says:
Il deem 1t proper TO state that some Of
the questions arising out of the plating
OF these lands are worthy of great de-
liberation. because OF their perplexing
character; yet whatever course the city
council shall take should be taken at as
early date as possible. that the improy-
ers and others may not be delayed in
making such investments and improve
ments as may be for the public good

TIE BINGHAM BONDS AGAIN
Hearing Before the Governor as
 Debt Commissioner.
THEIR HISTORY REVIEWED
A Question for the State Board of Assess mentsS State Military Matters-Gov-
 ernor Offers Reward.

Montgomery, July 29.-(Speclal)-The old Bingham bond matter. which has been bothering the governor since 1893, was up before Governor Oates today in his capacity of ex-ofIicio debt commissioner.
 Of these bonds three are known as sterling bonds for 225 pounds each, issued under act of February 1T, 1870, and due 1st of June 1890. Ten bonds for 5000 each, issued under act of February 19, 1870, and due May l. 1892; and thtrty-fonr are bonds for 5000 each, issued under act of February p, 1873, and due 1st of March. 1893.
 The history of Arthur Bingham, state treasurer under the republican regime, is part of the history of the state and we'll known to every one. Nobody knew of his possessing the bonds until, as the story was told by his son today, they were found in an old trunk in the attic of his residence in 1893, few weeks be- fore Judge Bngham's death and pre- sentcd to Governor Jones for exchange under the refundng act. He laid the matter before the legislature and the, house passed q resolution favorng the exchange of the bonds. but the senate
  not q matter of legislation. but for the governor, in his capacity of debt com missioner to decide.
 AttolneyGeneral Fitts represented the state today and Gen. c. NJ. Shelley and Messrs. Cecil Brown and John Tillman the Bingham heirs.
 The bonds. with interest. if exchanged, will amount to about $60,000.
 Governor Jones in his message to the legislature on the matter said:
 AS to five of the bonds presented have not the slightest doubt and will exchange them. Mir. Bingham bought them from the late Virgil s. Murphy, whose receipt is produced. and the rec ords show that Murphy had bonds Of the state. As to the other forty-two bonds I would have no hesitation but for the unfavorable presumption created by the facts above recited, which l think have been fully overthroWn."
 The affair went on in the form of trial today before the governor, and the lawyers for the Bingham heirs did not close their speeches until after & o'clock tonight. The governor will not take action in the matter for some days yet, or at least that is the supposition

THE VAULT IS FOUND.

The Tip of the Machinist Was Straight,
 After All.
 Chicago. July 29.-The huge brick vault underneath Holmes charne house was unearthed by the police today, who are still delving in the earth in and about the cellar. The existence of this vault has been theoretical until toda. Many ru- mors of such a receptacle have been cir culated but it was not until the police discovered Machinist Chappell that they succeeded in gaining any idea of the To- cGtion of the vault. When Chappell ac- companied the officers through the Holmes house yesterday he indicated the location of the vault in the southeast corner of the cellar. and early this morn- ing half dozen men were put to work digging at the place indicated At 4:30 o'clock the officers in charge of the work telephoned police headquarters that they had reached and uncovered a long strip of roof of the vault. Superintendent Badenoch at once gave orders to get the ground in such shape that the ground could be easily opened tomorrow. and discontinued the work for the day.

THAT CAT WOULD COME BACK.
Spans Threat to Stop the Exportation of To-
 bacco Would React.

Jacksonville, Fla, July 29.-When it was announced by the papers throughout the country the other day that Spain had threatened to stop the exportation of leaf tobacco to this country few people stopped to think that if such course was carried out many cigarmakers in this city would be thrown out of employment and thousands in the state of Florida. That of course would be the object of the order for Spain knows the sinews of war are furnished by Cubans in this country, 90 per cent of whom are cigar makers.
 Tt is only threat" said G. H. Cato, manager of the Fl Modelo Cigar factory, which employs over 300 men, IT no country interfered it would be disastrous to Spain, for were the 100000 Cubans live ing in the United States engaged in the manufacture of cigars to be thrown out of work tomorrow 50 per cent Of them would find way back to Cuba to buckle on the sword for the cause of liberty. Many of these men are in this country only because they can do as effectual work as they could in the actual field Of battle
 "But Spain will not do so foolish thing as to stop the exportation Of lear tobacco, for if it was to it would at once, incur the hostility of the nations, es- pecialIy of the United States Of course, in my opinion, it would be a violation of the treaty of commerce. and every man whose business is affected by this be- comes a lever for Spain's undertaking,
 Let Spain throw 100000 men in this country out of employment and tre- mendous sentiment would be created for those men and against Spain in every community where they were represented, and add this sentiment to the bitter feel ing due to the loss of business attendant on retaliatory orders, and soon you will T country in the way of recognition of the belligerents than has yet been done. Once you get recognition and Cuba s new government will be able to sell bonds and carry on the war until the bannerkpf freedom floats in every city of the op- pressed island"
 "Would such an order have any ief- feet upon you here?"

President Williams said to- night that the company had $1,165, 900 subscribed. of which $S00.000 will be called in at once for the immediate cash pur- poses of the company, while the remain der will be used for the, purpose of com pleting the road from Lyons to Savannah. He said the company would first make an effort to buy the fifty-eight miles of the Savannah and Western between Lyons and Medrim. and if that could be done on favorable terms he said this. road would not be paralleled. Otherwise the con struction of the line to Savannah would be begun shortly. The new company will build anyhow from Meldrim to Savannah. a distance of seventeen miles, and expect to have the preliminary survey begin at once This is the longest independent line in this section and President Will liums says it's motto will be peace and friendship with all and entanglng alli-z anceS with none rf.tif
