THE QUINLANs CONFESS,
But Their Revelations Amount to Little
 Except Surmise.

6ACSpt ouIluiSS
 Chicago. Aug. 3-A morning paper gives the following particulars of the confession made by the Quinans yester- day to Chief Badenoch, which was taken down by stenographer. They related that in their opinions Miss Cigrand, Mrs. Julia Connor and her daughter, Pearl, and Minnie and Mamie Williams are all dead, and that Holmes murdered them. Peitzel they said, quarrelled frequently with Holmes, because the latter would not act squarely with his associates in the dealings, and they believed that Holmes killed Pietze1 so as to prevent any telling of his crimes, which they be- lieved Pietzel was aware of to some ex- tent As to whether Peitzel participated in any of the murders they do not know. They belive that Holmes after killing Peitzel felt it necessary to dispose of the dead mans children, and that Alice, Nellie and Howard Peitzel were killed by him.
 As to Miss Van Tassel they know nothing, and never saw her Miss Cl- grand Mrs. Connor, Miss Pearl Connor, Minnie and Mamie Williams, they thought, came to their death in the Holmes building.
 Mrs. Quinlan related that one day when her husband was away she saw Holmes poking into the stove in his office, which was red hot, something which looked like portions of human body, and that horrible odor came from the room. Quinlan said that after Holmes had gone away he found a bottle of chlor- oform in the steel vault. They both said that they saw the Williams girl about Juy 5, 1S93 for the last time, and that they must have been put out of the way at that time.

A HoARY CHESTNUT,
Says MT. McAd~ of That Union Irost
 Go iy Suit.

Saws MT. McAd~ of That Union Trust
 Go D .iy Suit.
 Knoxville, Teni., Aug. S-Referring 10 the bill filed by George w. Henderson receiver of the Knoxville Electric Ra1i- way company, against the Union Irust company in Philadelphia to recover from the trust company $20O,O because of the alleged diversion of said sum from cor porate purposes, MT w. G. McAdoo, former president of the railway company, said this afternoon to the correspondent of the Southern Associated Press:
 "A very erroneous impression is creat- ed by the published reports of the nature of this suit. There is no charge that $2O0.000 was diverted to my private use The sole claim in the case and the only legal ground upon which liability is as- serted against the Union Trust company is that the agreement between the trust company and myself that out of the $350, GOO of bonds placed on the street railway property $200000 should be employed in the purchase of the old street railways of Knoxville, was improper and illegal. There is no charge nor ground for any charge or insinuation that any of the bonds were applied to my personal use. The $200 900 in question was used in pay ing the owners of the old horse car lines in Knoxville for their stock, from which l not only fecelVed no profit but u which I added more than $20,000 to pay the purchase price of $220000 The re- mainng $150,000 of bonds were used to improve the property as provided in the mortgage. The recovery sought from the trust company is based upon purely tech nical grounds, which every lawyer under stands, and there is absolutely nothing in the whole transaction which in any way is discreditable to me.
 This whole question has been thor oughly sifted in the United States circuit court of Knoxville in a similar action aganst the Union Trust company. The decision of the court was against the claim and in favor of the trust company. The matter is a hoary chestnut, and I would not notice it but for my desire that no false impression may be created con- corning me ndiNidna llv ,,

WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT
Presents sevor7 'atures Which Are Noted by
 the " York Financer.
TIE DEcRs',E IN EXCESS. OF RESERVE
Is Fa11 ble Sign-Expansion in Loans. Th1SS-, mand for Rediscounts From /cS the West and South Is
 Increasing.

New York. Aug. 3.--'The weekly bank statement of the associated banks shows the following changes:
 Reserve-Decrease, $1, 1,079, 400.
 Loans-Inerease, $3,151 ,000.
 Specie-Increase, SIT, 400.
 Legal tenders-Decrease, $416, ,400,
 Deposts-Increase, $3,361 0O9
 Circulation-Increase, $24, 600
 The banks now hold $40,917,175 in ex- cess of the legal requirements.
 The New York Financier says this week:
 A decrease of $1 ,075, 400 in the excess reserve carried by the associated banks of this city is a favorable feature of the bank statement made for the week end- ing August 3. The changes in cash hold ings were unimportant, the gain of $177,- 400 in specie being more than counter balanced by a decrease of $416, 400 in legal tenders, making the net loss for the week $233, 900. Had it not been for the expan- sion in loans the reserve would have swelled something like $1 GOO, 900, as the net increase in deposits for the week was $3,361, 600. large part of this gain un- doubtedly came from the interior move ment, which is maintained in volume larger than has been anticipated. Larger remittances have also been received from the eastern banks during the week.
 The increase In loans coming imme- diately after the decrease of the week previous Is not to be explained easily, but money rates, in view of the long pre- dicted advance, are very tempting, and shrewd borrowers are quick to take ad- vantage of an opportunity which may not occur again. The demand for rediseounts to the west and south is also increasing. and some large sums have been placed within the past few days. A number of banks having large sums in circulation of this kind report a revival in the de- mand which extended over two weeks.
 The treasury, it may be remarked, is preparing for the business which 1t will be called upon to do In the way of trans ferring 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.

Shanghai, Aug. 3.-The Shanghai Ex- press prints telegram from Foochow, under date of August 3,reporting fright full massacre of Christians in Kucheng, in the province of Kansu-Sin-K -Kiang. Among those murdered were five foreign ladies. No confirmation of the report is received.

 The dispatch from MT. Jurnigan gave the name of the American lady who was seriously wounded as Miss Harlow, and said that five English ladies were killed.

Uncle Sam Believes That Those Nuns

 Washington, Aug. 3.-The American nuns who were compelled to leave Ecua- dor by the evolutionists, and who arrived in New York this week, have not made any complaint to the state department supplemental to the statement recently made in their behalf and of the other in- mates of the convent by Congressman Timothy J. Campbell of New York The state department, however, has indorsed the action of it's consul at Guayaquil in protesting against the treatment of the nuns, and in securing from further in- suit and attack. This was done in the ab- sence of direct evidence that the nuns were Americans, but the department holds, and has so informed MT. Campbell that even if the harrassed women are not Americans the course taken by our con- sul t Guayaquil should be fully indorsed on the broad ground of humanity.
 No question has arisen as to the nation- ality of. the nuns, but it is believed at the department that there will be no dffi- culty in showing that some of them if not all. are entitled to the protection of the American government
