DISCOUNT DOLLAR BILLS
The Canadian Banks Will Only
Take American Notes at
Ninety Cents.
United States Silver Not to Be Accepted
for the Payment of City
Taxes.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Aug. 10.-A COM
bined effort is about to be made by city
banks to decrease the circulation of Ameri-
can bills in this city. at present the city
is flooded with American silver certifi-
Gates. The following notice is posted in
the Standard Bank to-day:
On and after Saturday, August 15, American
81 bills will be received only for 80 cents.
Ii is understood that other banks will
follow the example OF the Standard Bank
This action win probably result in a much
decreased circulation of American bills in
this city. In regard to American silver
most of the city banks are not accepting
it at all. Some viii accept American silver
only from customers, but only in small
amounts. The railway companies refuse
10 handle it, and departmental stores are
discussing the advisabllity OF refusing il
as money.
HAMILTON, ONT, Aug. 10-Follow ing
the example of the Toronto banks the
merchants and local banks here have de-
cided TO refuse to accept American silver
and silver certificates. For years Ameri-
can bills and currency have been accepted
by the merchants. United States silver
or silver certificates will not be accepted
in payment of city taxes. This action is
not due entirely to the silver agitation in
the United States, but to the fact that at
present there is too much American silver
in circulation in Canada.

TACOMA, WASH, Aug. 10.-A disap-
pointed crowd of whale-hunters and ex-
cursionists returned to the city tonight.
They had chased q whale up and down
Henderson Bay all to-day, had shot at
him, prodded him with their oars, and yet
the cetecean came off victorious. He did
not seek revenge, being content to bury
himself in the green waters when his pur-
suers came too close or startled him with
cannon shots.
The hunters claim to.have Clipped of
piece of the whales dorsal fin with the
first cannon ball, but they did not bring it
home to exhibit
Soon after o'clock this morning the
tug Laurel steamed away to Henderson
Bay, followed at 9:30 by the steamer Sc
home with 200 spectators aboard. The
Laurel carried over twenty men. Soon
after 10 o'clock whale was sighted, when
the rowboats were left behind and the
tugs speed increased. Nearly two hours
were spent beating about. Then, as the
whale rose slowly to the surface few rods
away, the cannon blazed and the whale
dived. The new rope did not unwind
readily, so that the shot only grazed his
back and knocked off a piece OF fin. A
half hour later another shot was secured,
but the aim was again incorrect and the
ball entered water instead.
Operations then ceased for dinner, after
which men in rowboats spent several hours
in unsuccessful attempts to harpoon the
monster. The harpoonists and rowers
alike seemed scared, for invariably they
let the whale start to dive before throwing
their weapons. They were alongside the
whale several time. At other times they
rowed rapidly until nearly to him, when
ali seemingly experienced that tired feel
ing and their efforts were relaxed until
the big fellow had gone under.
The leviathan came up near the Sc
home, and now it was the excursionists'
turn to be scared. Some wanted to return
home at once. The Laurel approached
and the cannon was aimed, but it did not
work to suit Gunner Bradshaw. This at
tempt proved aborrive, and after follow
ing the spouter about half hour longer
the hunt was given up for to-day.

PRESIDENTIAL NEGLECT.
The Gray Cables Vacation Causes Lncon-
Venience and Loss to Many Army
and Navy Officers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 10.-Presi-
dent Cleveland's failure to act on promo
ton and retirement cases is not only
causing inconvenience to a great many
officers, but is keeping them out of good
many dollars. Since his departure for
Gray Gables there have accumulated at
the White House as many as twenty eight
OF these cases, twenty-seven of which will
undoubtedly be approved. So far as can
be learned these cases are still at the
executive mansion, and will probably re-
main there for some little time before
being forwarded to Gray Gables: in fact,
1t may be that they will be held until the
President returns.
The officers whose promotions are before
the President are: Commodore Charles
Z. Clark, now on duty in command of the
receiving ship Independence at Mare
Island Lieutenant-Co Commanders Gill.
Pathick and Richards, ,Lieutenants Purcell,
Harper, Poundstone. Bemadin and Acker-
man, Ensigns Coontz, Ebebly, Fenton,
Tarbox and Mccormick, Paymaster Cowle,
Passed Assistant Engineers Parks, Willis
and Denig, and Assistant Engineer Beach,
Assistant Naval Constructors Bankson
and Tawresey. The remaining cases are
those of Lieutenants Richard Mitchell and
Bradbury, Paymaster Machette, and Gun
ner Henderson, who were recommended
for retirement by the board that met at
Mare Island.

NO HOPE FOE THE ST. PAUL.

| Captain Minor GoodaU Docs Not Thfnk
the Vessel Can BE Saved.
The following telephone message was re-
! ceived from Captain G. Minor GoodalI,
who is at the wreck of the steamer ST.
Paul, by the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany yesterday: "The ship is lying easy,
hemmed in by the rocks. Doubtful if she
can be got off. She is entirely exposed to
the swell, which is striking her endwise at
the stern.
LANDED all hands on board for the
night, as the swell was increasing. The
steamer Santa Cruz will be unable to get
very close to the wreck. Will try and get
pumps on board when the Santa Cruz ar
| rives Monday. l think the leak is aft and
| will try and get diver down to locate it."
Later in the day Captain Goodall tele
phoned again, saying that he was about
to start for the wreck With three boatloads
of men to see what could be done to save
the vessel and CARGO In talking about
the vessel and her loss Edwin Goodall said
that she was valued at ABOUT $4,000 and
was only partly insured. A great deal of
the cargo is a total loss, but the greater
portion of it is insured. The company has
owned the st. Paul for little over three
years, having purchased her from the
Alaska Commercial Company. For years
the steamer ran to Alaska and when
General Grant was making tour of the
world the st. Paul was chosen to carry the
party to the glaciers of the far north.
Later she was chartered to the North
American Navigation Company and ran
in opposition to the Pacific Mail on the
Panama route.
The steamer Coos Bay was to have gone
to Alaska yesterday, but the company took
her off and sent the Yaquina in her place.
The Coos Bay will now take up the run
ming of the st. Paul on the San Diego
route.
ED" Cashen was at Point Pinos
when the St. Paul went ashore. He
reached San Francisco yesterday. He
states positively that the station light was
burning brightly at the time. Half an
hour after the vessel struck he was aboard
and remained by her until z o'clock on
Sunday morning. SAT that hour" said
he, "there was not drop of water in her
hold, and it was only when the captain
ordered the engines full speed astern that
holes began to show in her bottom. The
st. Paul went on broad shelving rock
