both England and the continent were lib
eral buyers Of wheat futures. Added to
these reports Were telegranS stating that
tile Northwest markets were stronger even
than those of Chicago and ST. Louis.
But at noon New York reported tre-
menduus appreciatiuniuJ Jne price of money,

POPULISTS' WORK ENDED.
Leaders Claim That Everything
Points to Bryan's Election.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-Charman Washburn
of the Western Populst headquarters was
in conference most Of the day with Senator
Butler, chairman of the ma ational com-
mittee. Mr.. Washburn saM there was
nothing done by them except to go over
the general situation before leaving their
ticket in the hands of the voters and to
attend to any details that had been over
looked.
The two chairmen said they had done
all that could be done now and the Oh
stacles in the way of complete fusion would
have to remain. The campaign work of
the Peoples Party national committee
is practically over, and Mr.. Washburn de-
clared the probabilities were all in the
direction of Bryan's election.
He knew of SIX combinations of electoral
votes in States that were not safely for
Bryan or Mckinley, which would work
out the salvation of the silver candidate,
to the one combination of the Republicans,
allowing them Illinois as the decisive
State.
He confidently declared that Mr.. Bryan
could not be beaten, with the gold Demo-
cratic vote offset by the silver Republican
vote, as admitted by the opposition, and
the addition of the 2 100000 Populist
votes.

CHOSEN BY PROVIDENCE.
Bryan's Selection Came ike Light.
ming From Clear Sky.

New York, Oct. 29.-As the close of the
political campaign approaches the harder
the Republican and Democratic managers
are working. Unprecedented efforts VIII
be made To bring every voter to the polls
MI st. John arrived early at Democratic
Headquarters today. He was in Iubilant
spirits and said that as election day ap-
proachcd his confidence i'll Bryan's triumph
increased.
This present moveme Mt is a unique one,
and there is no precedent on which TO base
predictions From the very start l saw
il was a providential muveme nj and that the
people were behind it, said Mr.. st. John
in emphatic tones.
You think the movcme mt S a providential
one?" asked the reporter.

Mr St John at this juncture became
reminiscent and started to tell an Ill
tercsting story.

Bryan made his speech before tue conNen

We were discussing matters, and Mt
BRYAN said he could not see how any ol
the men mentioned could be nominated.

care Of us and that the nomination would
come like lightning from clear sky
Mr.. st. John paused moment and ther
said sclemnIy: And Providence did TAKE
care of us. and the nomination did CONT
like lightning from clear sky, for Bryan
! was as good as nominated the next night
Mr.. st. John would not give the name OF
the Senator who was listening to this
historical incident. Mr.. st. John is of the
! opinion that Bryan will carry New Yorl
State and that he will be swept into the
| Presidential chair by landslide Of popu

Half the editorial writers on the New

PREDICT SILVER VICTORY
English Writers Says Western Farm
ers Are Working for Bryan.

London, Oct. 23.-The Times, in an arti-
Gle ON the Presidential campaign in the
United states, says:
IF Senator Jones, Mr.. Daniel J. Campau
respectively chairmen of the Democratic
national committee and the national cam
paign committee, and other Democratic
magnates, are correct in their figures, it
is conclusive That Mr.. Bryan will be elected.
Mr.. Campau estimates that 292 Bryan
electoral votes VIII be cast by thirty three
States, including Indiana, Michigan, Ill
nois, Iowa and Minnesota, all of which the
Republicans think are safe. If, therefore,
the State of New York persists in the
belief that Mckinley will be elected it is
not for the want of warning. If the East
is blind it is wilfully blind. \ shrewd OBJ
server in Chicago thinks that the pro-
valent Bryan demonstrations means Bryan
votes"
Mr.. Moreton Frewen. the English ccono-
mist and bimetallist, who is now in Ameri-
ca writes 10 the Times that he has seen
and heard all of the leading men on both
sides and finds that throughout Illinois,
Indiana and Michigan the Republican farm
ers are working heart and soul for Bryan.
Mr.. Frewcn says he is convinced that
Bryan will also carry all of the Southern
States. and all OF the far Western States
except Oregon and Wyoming.

Schucnnpa andre was locked up at the
Third precinct station house yesterday
afternoon, later examined and pronounced
insane by Drs Mayfieid and Carr, the po-
lice surgeons.
andre is quite as queer as his name Is
Strange. His arrest was brought about
by Il telephone message from the Austrian
legation requesting that an officer be sent
there to remove from the doorstep fel-
low obviously insane who had been there
for several hours, seemed dangerous and
was bent on seeing the Austrian minister
whether or no.
Iatroiman Smith was dispatched to the
legation, at the corner OF Connec ticut
avenue and n street northwest, where
Anuru was found sluaIting On the marDie
stoop looking as though lie might have
been part of it.
AT me station he was recognized as the
man who was arrested under the same
circumstances a0oGt-iour years ago, then
judged insane and sent to st Elizabeth S,

suffered.
When searched at the station, no bombs

This was done without any assistance

BANKS SHUT OFF ALL LOANS
Call Money Brings 100 Per
Cent in New York.
WAS A FAMINE OF CASH
Borrowers Compelled to PAY From
go to 100 Per Cent for Accom-
mediation Until Banks
Turned Down Everyone but De-
pOsttOrs.

New York, Oct. 29.-The restriction of
accomInU UdaIion by banks was the Chief
factor in the money market furry today.
Loans have been called in some InsIa noes
in preparation for possible demand for funds
over Sunday.
AT the opening 10 per cent was bid for
call money in the stock exchange, and
although IL few loans were made at that
figure, there were no offers ut any rate,
and borrowers became more urgent in theii
efforts to obtain accommodation, SO that
shortly after noon money loaned at 81
per cent.
In the afternoon banks that had agre I'd tC
loan money in the III ornlng cancelled their
contract, making the situation worse, and
no money appeared from any source until
the rate reached so per cent. Then was
supplied part OF the demand at that figure.
This had little effect, and the rate quickly
advanced to 100 per cent, that rate being
paid on Some loans to be carried over
until Wednesday. At the extreme rate
money for the first time appeared in large
quantiti eS.
Banks, however, loaned money freely
to regular customers at g per cent on the
basis OF the volume Of business done, but
were not disposed to furnish accommoda-
ton to outsiders.
NO EFFECT ON CHANGE.
The high rates for money had but small
effect on the prices for stocks and there
was no excitement on the Exchange.
a leading bank president, In spea king
of the advance in money rates, said that
the people most eager to have their money
in hand and have 1T in the best money
that exists are small savings bank de
po iIoTs. 'Ihes" irt pie he SAID, are
losing their interest on deposits while
securing their principal in gold.
Bryan tells them that they want
silver, but their actions say they want
gold. There is nothing like a run on
savings banks. hut ,heTe Is Drain
Another well-known banker Is quoted
as follows:
The high rates for call loans are caused
by the shifting Of loans by those who
wish to strengthen themselves, banks par
ticularly, and depositors, and by the usua
contraction incidental to preparation FOL
the November disbursements on interest
payments.
BANK PRESIDENTS VIEWS.
1T is only right that those who have
been SO Negligent as to leave the arrange
ment Of their loans to this late day should

they require.
lone reason for the condition Of tho
money market today is due to Tire Circum
stance that if n bank should have debit
balance in the clearing house statcmen

not call any loans on that day. If II caliet
leans on Monday it would not get the none.
