PERSEVERANCE AGROUND.
British Ship Ran Ashore During the
Blow Last Night.

About 10 o'clock last night several
signal guns were heard and later rock

stranding of the British ship Persever-
ance $50 far as can be learned) on the
sands opposite Elmore's cannery.
The weather was very severe and
the vessel snapped her anchor chain,
the gale driving her far out into the
river. She struck before another an
chor hold could be secured. She is not
in dangerous position, but may sus-
itan injury by straining. The only pos
sibility of her position becoming dan
gerous lies in her being driven further
onto the sands.

NEW YORK BANK kSTATEMENT
The Reserve Increased S7,403.425- Last Week on Account of the Coming
 Bond Loan.

NeW 1Ork, Jan. ll.-Ine New ' ofk FL nancier says this week.
 The statement of the New York clear ing house banks for the week ending Jan uary Il is a logical reflection of the pres ent trend of events for a popular loan, although as an exhibit of the weeks bus ness it is not satisfactory. The princi- pal feature is an increase of $7, ,403, ,425 in the reserve, which makes the total sum held by the New York banks above their legal requirements S27 1S3, 100 In view of the fact that the New York banks maybe drawn upon heavily with in the next thirty days by interior in stitutions. the increase becomes a mat ter of importance. It will be brought about apparently by the flow of money to New York, the banks having gained large sums during the week. The in- crease in legal tenders despite the with drawal of large sums incident to gold shipments was in round numbers s5,000,- 900. The specie holdings, which have been increasing regularly with but one interruption since October last, showed an expansion of $2,391, ,500 for the week, and the total specie holdings for the first time since last June are in excess of $7O,- coo, 900. h fact they are higher now than since February 2 last This does not in dicate much of itself, however, since the cash now in New York bank vaults Is $150000, 900, as against $1S0, ,642, 900 one year ago.
 The liquidations in loans continue, and the decrease for the week was $7 1872 3O0 The loss in this item since last September has been fully $66 6000,0 GOO. Deposits also are falling off, and the week closed with the smallest total known for over a year. The loss for the week was small, as the weeks operations counterbalance almost exactly.
 It is plain to be seen why large bids for the new bonds have not been reported already by New York banks. If interior banks draw down their balances the av- craze New York institution will have no money to buy bonds until 1t calls in its loans, and that is an arrangement that would not be profitable. For that rea- son the banks cannot now definitely for some time, tell how they will stand in this respect There is little probability that individual bids for bonds will be made by New York banks before Febru- ary 4th or 5th Of course portion of the new bonds will find their way into banks here, but whether through a syndicate or by direct bid cannot be foretold

According to Gen eral Doe, good gun is a desideratum to militia men, and the government should see that they are all properly equipped in that respect. Tn view of the main pur- pose of the bill, it is believed that 1t will be amended so as to meet the point raised by the military authorities.

LONDON BIMETALLIC LEAGUE.
Address by Professor Francis A..
Walk, on the HOney Question.

LONDON, July 13-At a meeting of
the Bimetallic League held here to-day
an address was delivered by Professor
Francis A. Walker, the American polit-
ical economist and superintendent of
the Census of the United States in 1870
and 1880 Professor Walker was cheered
as he rose, and was frequently inter
rupted by bursts of applause.
He declared that no gold monometal-
list party existed in the United States,
and said he would stake his honor that
if a bimetallist convention was proposed
TO the United States ty the principal
nations of Europe the Americans would
tumble head over heels in welcoming the
proposal Senator Gray, Professor
" ali1er said, would find very few men
to join him in opposition to a proposal
for a common ratio between gold and
silver. What the silverites really de-
sired, he continued, was silver imitation.
Widely separated from these men were
the real bimetallists of the United
States.
Nothing, Professor Walker declared,
could be more unfounded than to say
that the Republican National Conven-

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
The Headquarters Likely to be Flowed
From New York to Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 13.-An informal
meeting Of the members of the Demo-
cratic National Committee remaining
in the city was held this evening, and
the question of headquarters was dis
cussed
Senator Jones, the Chairman, said:
There will be another meeting Of the
National Committee during the next
three weeks, when the question of
changing the location of the headquar-
ters will be more fully discussed and de-
cided. The campaign will probably be
directed actively from Chicago. This
city has all the facilities claimed for
New York and others to favor its selec-
ton. I am in favor of the change from
New York. We intend to make cam
paign which viii be national in scope
and the organized Democracy of the
East will soon come out in support of
the party ticket. / confidently expect
to see Tammany Hall and Hill working
for us. The Middle States will be the
scene of our greatest victories, and that
is another good reason why the head
quarters should be removed to Chicago"
The members who are opposed to the
proposition Of removal argue that such
are fighting the ticket some ground upon
which to claim sectional prejudice of the
West against the East, and as much
campaign work is needed in the East as
in the silver States of the West.
Charles A. Walsh of Iowa, the mana
ger of Boies' convention campaign, will
be the Permanent Secretary of the
Democratic National Committee If his
temporary services are satisfactory to
the committee. Mr.. Walsh had a con-
ference this morning with Senator Jones
with reference to his appointment, and
afterwards Walsh called on ex-Secre-
tary Sheerin to get Information as to
the details Of his new position, which
Mr.. Sheerin gladly afforded his young
successor

delighted over the selection of their col

said to a reporter for the United Press
just prior to his departure home:
I'VE are mighty glad of Mr.. Walsh's
appointment. We deserve it as State,
and he deserves it as a man. He was
born in Van Buren, County, Ia thirty
years ago, and is a lawyer in Ottumwa,
besides being part owner of the "Sun"

called The Bishop" because of his
clerical appearance. He is very dis
Greet, a man of system and detail, and
will faithfully carry out the plans of the
committee in all its details. In my ca
pacity as Chairman of the Iowa BIZ

The Crusade Against Corsets.

Those who have so long waged war
against death dealing STAYS" will feel
thrill of JOY in their hearts at the
crusade the French doctors are making
against the modern corset. for when
Paris takes up this hue and cry of
dress reform there is some hope that
the fashion autocrats will espouse the
cause of comfort and common sense
Iteis not likely that women will entire
ly abandon corsets, for they seem all
most necessary support to the BODY
but they will have their corsets proper
ly fitted and made to suit the shane of
their figure-and not the figure soueez-
ed to fit the shape of the corset. The
so-called health waist" has manv ad
herents, but many more corsets are worn
than all the kinds of waists put To-
gether. The athletic woman may choose
to wear waist which is not boned
but there is corset especially made for
the outdoor woman. 1t is much like
the ordinary kind, except below tba
waist it is made with only elastic bands
across the hips, which gives the free
use of the muscles used on the wheel
The corset of to-day, no matter how
tight -boned it may be, is a decided i'm
provement on the iron corset of the
middle ages, or the buckram with steel

REDRESS DEMANDED
FOR INJUSTICE TO AMERICANS
In CUBA.
Spain rIust Give Satisfaction for the
Indignity Inflicted on Sow.
ers and Ansley.

WASHINGTON Cd. c., July IA
The State Department has made public
long series of letters encompassing in
full detail the action of the Government
in its negotiations with Spain concern
ing the now settled Mora claim and a
thorough amplification of all the cir
cumstances up to October 9th last, in
Guiding the Alliance case, regarding the
assaults by Spanish officers in Cuba upon
American citizens, nearly all of which
have substantially appeared from time
to time in the United Press dispatches,
both under Havana and Washington
dates.
Included in the correspondence is
letter from Secretary Olney to Mr.. Du
py de LONE, referring to the expulsion
of john A Sewers, Joseph A. Ansley
Aurelio A. Ansley and Maria Luis Ans
ley, all citizens of the United States,
from Cuba, a proceeding, says Mr. Oh
rley in his letter, which is of date Sep
ten1ber 9th last, that lis harsh in this
regard, that two of the deported per-
sons, Joseph A. Ansley and John Sow
ers, are said to have been men of fam
lily, and being in impoverished circum

their wives and children behind them
without resources"
In this case Mr.. Olney said further:
"The right of Spain, as of every other
sovereign State, to eXpel aliens need not
be discussed. If the right be conceded
to the fullest extent, the mode Of its ex
ercise may be so harsh, unrea sonable
and oppressive as to give just ground of
complaint and was so beyond all doubt
in the cases now under consideration"
The proceedings at every stage and
in every particular seem to have been
characterized by willful disregard, not
merely of the rights of American citi-
zens, but of the dictates of common
humanity. This Government cannot be
expected to look upon such proceedings
except with indignation, nor to pass
them over without remonstrance. 1t
takes this occasion, therefore, to make
known its sentiments in the matter and
give notice to both that 1t will demand
adequate redress for the indignity and
injustice inflicted on Sewers and Ans
ley, and that 1t will expect such precau-
tiOnary measures to be taken by the
Spanish Government for the future as
will prevent any like treatment Of other
American citizens.
The record-union., 1896-07-15
SACRAMENTO WEDNESDAY, 15 1885,

ton held at ST. Louis had pronounced
iii favor of gold monometallism. Nc
Kinley, he said, had never been gold
monometallist; he could not be one if
he tried. He had always been uniformly
a bimetalliSt.
The maintenance of a gold standard
in the United States was not rendered
whit less secure by reason of anything
that was done at the convention held in
Chicago, but despite much friendly ad-
vice from this side of the ocean the
United States was not going to pull
other peoples chestnuts out of the fire,
and would remain devoted to the reha-
Eilitation of silver as a money metal
and always ready to make sacrifices to
that end. The bonds of the United
States, he added, would continue to be
paid in gold or it's equivalent, and the
credit of the United States would con-
tinue to be as high as it ever had been
since she had triumphantly vindicated
her nationality in the war of secession.
Professor Walker was loudly cheered
at the conclusion of his address.
The annual report of the league was
read by the Secretary. 1t was quite
optimistic in tone, declaring that inter
national bimetallsm had made note
worthy progression in all the countries
where the question had been discussed.
After referring to the resolutions in
favor of bimetallsm adopted by the
popular Chambers of Prussia, France
and Belgium, the report went on to say
that in the United States all the politi-
cal parties and all classes of business
men would welcome the establishment
of International bimetallism. A large
number of the people of that country
were, however, so thoroughly convinced
of the necessity for the reconciliation
of silver that they were not willing to
wait for an international agreement
In conclusion, the report declared:
'The responsibility for the present and
growing dangers to the industrial life
of the nation rests upon those who OPP
pose that monetary system under which
our prosperity advanced by leaps and
bounds"
