MORE TROUBLE FOR SPAIN.


Unmistzkafsle Signs Of an Uprising There
from the Carlist Party.
MADRID. Sept 1S.-There are unmis-
taxable signs in Carlist circles that
Spain may have soon to face serious in
ternal troubles IS well as the upris-
and possibly Porto Rico. The Carlist
month, took a determined stand
bill providing subsidies for the Spanish
railroads. They claim that the money
thus appropriated could be better en-
ployed in Cuba than elsewhere,
protested against the whole policy
political, and thereby placed them
being opposed to all the ills complained
of by the suffering masses of Spain.
1t is more than likely that a serious re-
would be followed by an outbreak of the
prepared than ever before to take the
field with hope of success. Don Car
los, through his marriage to the
Princess de Rohan in 1894, was enabled
to command a large fortune, and there
is no doubt that this money and other
funds for long time past have been
used to prepare for another attempt to
place King Charles VII on the throne
of Spain. If Spain loses Cuba, which
seems more than likely, the Carlists
claim that the downfall of the present
regency will follow Immediately, and
that Charles VII will be triumphantly
placed upon the throne with little or

ST., OOO OO0 OoO The feature of the session
was the address of the president, E.
II. Pullen, vice president of the Ma
tional Bank of the Republic of New
York. In the course of his address Mr.
Pul1en said:
coming from the north and the south, from
the east and the west, but we're not divided
geographically or by sectional differences.
We are proud, even in these troublous times.
to call ourselves american citizens The
American Bankers association, during its ~
years history, has stood for honesty-indi-
vidual honesty, official honesty, national
honesty. 1t has always stood for honest
dollar worth 100 cents, and accepted such
in all the markets of the world. We should &C.
cupy the same position to-day, and, far from
desiring to modify our past record, we should
confirm and reiterate with emphasis Dishon-
est money. because 1t is dishonest attracts the

ist- The issue to-day is not exclusively
honest money, but the very existence OF
government and the preservation of law, life
and liberty at stake. The banks especially
national banks, have been assailed by the vi
tuperation of ignorance and passion Through
the national bank system a market was opened
for United States bonds yielding the money
necessary for the prosecution of the war. for
the preservation of our union, and a currency
provided that has never been excelled for safe

ties, national banks and their circulation. and
substitute dishonest money as the vehicle of
trade, and financial chaos would speedily
suit Cotton and cereals could not be pro-
duced-if produced could not be marketed
trans portation would be paralyzed. the wheels
of industry would cease to reyolve, enterprise
and development be checked, and the whole
land plunged into ruin and misery.
Mr. Pullen called attention to the
abolition of days of grace in several
states and hoped that, with the CO.
operation of the bankers associations
during the year, it might be announced
at the next annual convention that
days of grace had been abolished in
every state in the union. He said also
that uniformity in all commercial laws
and usages in the different states was
desirab BILE. and cited examples of in
iquitous disparities-
The report of the secretary says that
the close of the year 1896 shows the
largest membership in the history of

1895, 646 mem bers have been added to

of the latter having either assigned or

ALsATRoss FLYING MACHINE.
The First Free Test MiIlers, Ind, Was
Very Gratifying.


CHICAGO, Sept I9.-The first free test
of Octave Chanute's a1batross soaring
machine, invented and constructed
by William Paul, was made at Millers.
Ind. last evening, under unfavora BILE
conditions. While the machine was
heavily loaded with ballast so as to
prevent it from flying any great dis
tance, and was anchored by four ropes,
each 200 feet long, the three points
which the trial was to decide-were de-
termined in manner gratifying to its
inventor and owner. The flight was less
than 100 feet, but the descent and final
alighting on the sand were graceful
and even as that of the bird from
which the machine was patterned. The
trial proved that the machine is per-
fectly safe, a proof which was the
more acceptable inasmuch as it had
been asserted that the machine was
dangerous and an attempt to fly it
would be sure to result in the death of
the operator.

GOLD IMPORTS.

Iney Are Caused by the balance OF Tr8d0
Being in Oar Favor.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 19.-"The present
inflow of gold to the United States is
the result of natural conditions The
balance of trade is now in our favor,
and the prospects are that it will re-
main SO until the cotton crop is moved,
if no longer" This was the statement
of Assistant Comptroller of the Treas
ury George NJ. Coffin yesterday, when
asked to account for the large ship
ments of the yellow metal to this coun-
tDy. He continued:
The August statement of the bureau of sta
tistics, covering the imports and exports of
merchandise. gives the best possible explana-
ton of the large imports of gold The increase
OF more than sl2oooooo in merchandise ex-
ports and the decrease of ssi 100000 in mer-
chandise imports as compared with August
last year, prove that the movement of gold to
this country is the result of natural condi-
tions. The trade balance IN favor OF this
Country in August amounted to more than 3d.

large amount of silver bullion, which must be
paid for in gold, and in the same time the sale
of American securities by foreign holders has
been trifiing, while the tide of American tour
lists is setting toward the United States. and
money abroad comes to an end 1t is not sur
prising. therefore that upwards of s.4,Ooo,o 600
gold has already been imported. and that more
than IS, 0O0.OJ0 more is now on the way here or
under engagement for Importation
The demand for money in New York now Is
very great, and one of the great needs of it is
to move the cotton crop of the south, which is,
at rough estimate, worth $500. 900. In
der to move this crop the traders in the in
terror towns must have ready money, and New
York banks have to import gold TO meet the
demand The reason why the premium put by
the Bank of England on gold does not stop the
expectation of the yellow metal from that
country is that money there is very cheap, be-
ing advertised at less than two per cent
year. while here six per cent is easily obtain
able and seven per cent is often secured The
problem of where the gold already imported
has gone is puzzling financierS 1t is thought
that part of the imported gold has gone into
the vaults of the trust companies and savings
banks. A conservative estimate of the gold
