AN AGREEABLE SURPRISE.
The Statement of the Clearing House Banks
of New York Show No Decrease
in Reserve. -

New York, Aug 22.-The New York
Financier says this week:
The statement of the clearing house
banks of New York for the week ending
August % came as an agreeable surprise
after the gloomy forecasts which had
been made as to the decrease of the re-
serve. The banks lost in cash $3,401, 300,
or So 1868 less than the contraction of
the week previous, but the loss in loans
was 1924 700. as against So, 119,400 for
the week ending August Is. The actual
decrease in the reserve for the week was
only $127, 525, the total now outstanding
at $9,272, $50.
The heaviest change was in deposits,
which shrank SO, 095, 100. This was the log
ical effect of the contraction in loans and
the withdrawal of funds to the west and
south, the movement towards these two
points continuing in gundiminished vol
ume. The continued demand for money
from these centers of course makes it nec-
essary for the banks to call in .outstand
ing loans, and the statement shows that
this was what prevented much heavier
loss in the reserve. In fact the position
of the banks is as strong as it was one
week ago, as they have taken full meas
ures to protect themselves; but as money
is badly needed, the issue of clearing
house certificates, If decided upon at
meeting to be called Monday, will come
as a relief to the mercantile world.
AS the banks hold on an average their
full Is per cent reserve, they are in po-
sitioin perhaps to postpone this move.
but on the other hand, an expansion of
credit at this time might prevent unfor-
tunats liquidation. The import of nearly
So, 900 of gold, if followed by additional
shipments, would have the same effect.
The bank note expansion now going on
cannot be made heavy enough to answer
the ful1 DIrDOSe. In view of the plain
purpose Of certificates at this time con-
servatfve bank presidents do not think
that their issue would be followed by
cash Withdrawals or hoardings.
The extent of the shrinkage which has
been going on this season can be under
stood better when it is stated that the
loans of the New York banks are now
nearly $55, 900, 900 less than for the CORE
spending week last year, and deposits
are S113 236 900 lower.

NOT AN IRREPAPABLE Loss.

Ex-State Senator Gordon of Maryland
'sJumps" the Democratic Ticket IN,
Baltimore, Nd, Aug. 22.-Hon. Basil B.
Gordon, ex-state senator and ex-chair-
man of the state democratic committee
of Virginia, is out in a letter giving his
reasons for repudiating Mr.. Bryan, and
announcing that he will vote for Nc
kinney, because he represents the mon
ey standard of every fully civilized ma
ton in the world, as against a dwindling
handful of Monaghan and mongrel ma
tions, who still cling to the cheaper
metal Mr.. Gordon says Mr.. .Bryan's
speech in New York was free from false
rhetoric and dignifed in tone, but when
it reached the critical point he had moth
ing better to offer than naked assump-
ton"
Concluding, Mr.. Gordon says: when
an untrisd experiment is submitted to
me, Offering doubtful advantages in case
of success and admitted loss and dis
honor in case of failure, I cannot long
hesitate as to how my vote shall be
cast"

The Immense Plant at Dayton Was Threat
misunderstanding Losses.
Cleveland, o., Aug. pa special from
Lima, o., says a fire broke out at o'clock
this morning in the coach department of
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
shops, and the building was destroyed;
also the freight car department building,
together with several freight cars, one
baggage car, one coach and one sleeper.
1t looked as if the whole plant would be
destroyed, and a second alarm was turn
ed in and twelve lines of hose played on
the burning buildings.
Seventy-five men employed in these
shops lost all of their tools. 1t is partic-
ularly distressing to them, as the force
and working time has just been reduced,
and they will be out of work until the
shops are rebuilt.
The loss will reach $50, 900 on which the
company carries a blanket insurance,
but it will not cover the loss.

THE EPISCOPAL CONGRESS.
Discussions Germane to the Church Con
time Morning and Afternoon.

Norfolk, Va. Nov 20.--Bishop Ran
lolph called the Episcopal congress to or
der at 1890 q. m. to-day and the devo-
tional exercises were conducted by Bish-
op Newton.
The hymn Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord
God Almighty" was sung by the audi
ence standing. Several announcements
were then made The topic of discussion
for the day was announced by Bishop
Randolph to be What is the organic law
of the church" First writer on the sub
ject was Rev. John I'll. Elliott, ID. d., of
Washington, ID. G. He said in part:
1.-THE condition of this church has fall
en- on evil days. While the constitution
Of the country is honored, the constitu-
ton Of the church is antiquated and needs
forming 1t is conceded that the ritual
law is no part of the organic law. As
a part of the church Catholic, our church,
Protestant Episcopal church in the Uni
ted States shares in the divine law. As
a national church she has a law for her
own government and subject to the di-
vine law"
The next writer was Rev. George s.
Mallory, d. d., Ii. D., of New York.
The hy nm, II love thy kingdom Lord, :"
was then sung. The first speaker on the
subject was Mr. Joseph Bryan, editor
of the Richmond Times. The next speak
or was Mr. Joseph Packard, of Balti-
more lie said that no one questions,
the statement that the church is n
divine institution, but we find in every
thing relating to society, that the divine
fat does not work out details. Churches
may err and when they do, people can
leave them, as our forefathers did. The
holy scripture is the touchstone. We can
find by that il the church is living accord
ing to the divine will.
There were three voluntary speakers,
first Rev Mr.. Tiffany, OF New York;
Rev W. T. Roberts, OF Virginia, and
Rev. Thos. Alex. Johnston, Of Laurel,
Md. They all made most excellent ad-
dresses.
The congress adjourned at o'clock to
meet again at 2:30 p. m.
At the afternoon session the topic was
''The pastoral Office as affected by the

THE CASE OF ARBUcKLE.
THREE MORE MEN HAVE BEEN
ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.
They Are Said TO Have Been With Him
the Night Before His
Death

New York, Nov. 20.-The Central of
fee police have made three additional ar
rests in connection with the death of
Frank II. Arkbuckle, Of Denver. The
prisoners are: George Stevens, a sa-
loon-keeper; Joseph Davidson, a steno-
grapher; and Fred. Menger, bartender
The men are said to have been with
Arbuckle on the night before his death.
The Investigations OF the detectives dis
closed the fact that on Wednesday even
ing Arbuckle was in Luchow's saloon, at
14th street and Irving Place, in company
with the three men named.
Stevens was the first to be taken. lie
at first denied having been in Luchlow's
saloon with Arbuckle. AS he was talking
to Captain O'Brien, Il detective walked III
with Davidson. Davidson at once rccog-
Dized Stevens and said to him: Hello,
ere you in this case too. Stevens|
When Davidson WAS searched one OF
Arhuckle's cards was found on his per-
SON Davidson admitted having met
ArbuckIe Wednesday night, and SAID
. they had arranged meeting for to-day.
This is why Mr.. Arbuckle had given him
his card, he said.
After this story was told, another de
tective walked in with the prisoner
Menger. All three admitted seeing
Arbuckle in his company. They denied,
however, having gone up town with him.
Menger said Stevens tried to get Ar
buckle to go to Harlem with him to g.
against n brace game. He did not know
whether Stevens had succeeded in get
ting Arbuckle away. The three prison
ers were held for further examination.
Butler, the negro arrested last night
was released to-day, there being no eyi
dence to connect him with the alleged
murder.
