REFUSE SILVER DEPOSITS.
Some San Francisco Banks Will Not
Take it in Large Amounts.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE agita-
ton of the financial question which has
resulted in sending gold up a fraction
of 1 per cent above par in New York is
causing local banks much trouble with
people who wish to deposit silver and
check out gold. Some of the banks re-
fuse to take any considerable amount Of
silver on deposit.
During the past two months the sup
ply of gold coin in the sub treasury has
decreased from about SIS, 900, 900 to less
than 100000. The decrease includes a
shipment of So, O0O 900 in gold made last
month by Assistant United States
Treasurer Berry to the sub treasury in
New York city.
This enormous shrinkage was one of
the prime causes which led to the issu-
ance by Assistant Treasurer Berry of
the now famous order which stopped
the redemption of silver certificates in
gold coin, a practice which was follow
ed by his predecessors for many years.

In17 Hours Plus.
The Only Woman Who Has
Beaten This, Was Paced.
AFTER THE RECORD.
Her Rides Are Strictly Regis

Other Sporting News of a Gen
eral Nature.

Denver, Aug. 1.-TWO hundred and
four miles in IL hours and IS minutes
is a record for days riding that will
be equalled by few male bicyclists and
probably by no other lady rider in the
country.
This is the latest accomplishment of
Mrs. A z. Rinehart of this city, who
has already gained worldwide fame
by riding ten centuries in ten cOnsecu-
tive days and later by riding a double
and under very unfavOrable conditions,
such as muddy roads and during heavy
rains.
Mrs. Rinehart felt confident that she
could lower her record for 200 miles,
and accordingly started out yesterday
morning at % minutes past 3, riding to
WOlhurst and return, thence to Platt-
yer covering the distance of 102 miles
in seven hours and SO minutes.
After a luncheon and a rest occupy
ing but 80 minutes Mrs. Rinehart start
ed on her second run at IL As a. m, this
time reversing her course of the morn
ing run and going first to Platteville
and thence to Wolhurst, returning from
m, the time for this century was 9
hours and As minutes, the entire dis
lance of 204 miles being covered in II
hours and 35 minutes, with but 80 min
utes' rest between the completion of
the first and commencement of the sec
Ond century.
Il understand" remarked Mrs. Rine-
les for lady riders is 16 hours and a
fraction and that the rider was paced.

BUILT 0. s. CAPITOL DOME.
Geo. n. Miller, Architect of the Big
Dome at Washington is Dead.

Washington Aug. 1.-THE builder of
the capitol dome is dead. He has left
behind one of the most conspicuous
monuments of this continent and an
example of architectural skill famous
the world over. This man notwith-
standing his achievements was little
known. His name was George H. Mil
Ter. He entered the office of the archi-
tect of the capitol in 1852 and continued
there until his death yesterday.
He was a native of Baltimore. AS
first assistant to the architect of the
Capitol Mr.. Miller had charge
sible work. He built the great white
dome that surmounts and completes
the vast building and so took a deep
personal interest and continuous risk
in the work. He superintendent placing
the colossal bronze figure Liberty on
the dome and was the last man down
retreating step by step as each board
of the scaffo1ding was removed.
Another work which he performed of
distinct Importance INTELLECTUALLY to
the capitol, was the construction of the
beautiful marble terrace on the north
west and south fronts, an undertaking
which practically reyerseS the frontage
of the great building and dove-tailed
it into practical connection with the
city of Washington, which had grown
the building, as its original designer
expected would be the case
Mr.. Miller was an expert in all lines
of architectural engineering. At the
time of his death he was 70 years of
age. His death is undoubtedly due to
the excessive torridity of the last few
daVS

WON'T GEORGE THE SULTAN
Report That Russia and EnglandHave

London, Aug. 12.-It is semi-officially
stated that there is no truth in the re-
port published by the Daily Chronicle
of this city that Great Britain and
Russia are on the point of reaching an
agreement ito save both Armenia and
Crete from Turkish oppression without
disturbing the peace of Europe" which
agreement it was added, would involve
the presence of a Russian army in
Armenia and of a British fleet at Crete
Ito guarantee Turkish compliance with
the terms of the agreement"
1t is stated on the other hand that
there is great discord among the pow
ers as to the measure which should be
adopted in regard to Crete and Russia,
it is further asserted, is showing mark
ed Discrimination to allow great pres
sure to be brought to bear upon the
sultan.

New York. Aug. IA dispatch re-
ceived yesterday by the Associated
Press from Vadsoe announced that
news had been received there from Spitz-
bergen that Prof. Andrea had discover
ed four rents in his balloon After re-
naming in Pixies House in the northern
half of western Spitzbergen from June
% he succeeded on July q in initiating
his balloon and waited for a favorable
sOutherly wind to embark. Later re-
ports stated he was discouraged at the
lack of conditions and was about pre-
pared to give up the attempt for this
year as the season of midnight closes
about August Is Then came yester-
days dispatch which will make it sur
prising if he has set sail for that place.
The news was presumably about a week
in arriving from Spitzbergen showing
that up to August 3 the aeronaut had
not yet set sail and the prospects were
poor for his doing So

ATT. w. HARRISON'S.
Fire Breaks Out in an Upper Room,
But Quickly Extinguished.

Ex-Mayor T w. Harrison's resi-
dence at the corner of HuntoOn street
and Western avenue, was accidentally
set on fire this afternoon about one
o'clock Miss Harrison was develop
ing some photograph plates in a dark
room which was on the second floor
off the front room.
She stepped out of the room, leaving
a candle burning in it. When she re-
turned the smoke was pouring out of
the dark room, and an alarm of fire
was turned in from box 50. The fire
companies from stations Nos. 2, 8 and
4 responded quickly. They found a
threatening fire in the upper story of
the handsome residence and they act
ed promptly. The fire had just broken
through the ceiling when the fremen
arrived The chemical and two by
drant streams were turned on to it, and
the fire quickly exinguished.
In the dark room, which was a clos
et there was considerable bed cloth
ing and pillows. These made a hot
fire and hard to extinguish. The dam
age will not probably exceed S25, but
Chief Wilmarth says that if it had
been let alone for three minutes longer
1t would have been a hard fight to
have saved the house. The loss is full
Iy covered by insurance.

WANT INVESTIGATION.
Railroad Men Being Exposed Demand
That Grain Men be Investigated.

Chicago, August 12.-Antf-elevator
men and railroad men who were affect
ed by the evidence produced before the
interstate commerce commission last
week are demanding the return of that
body in order to Investigate the eleva-
tor mems connection with cut rates in
grain.
Chairman Midgley of the western
freight associa ton said today that the
work of the commission would be bene-
fetal in readjusting the grain rates
from Missouri and Mississippi points to
Chicago. Midgley says the western
freight association has nothing to do
with the so-called pool, called the
Union League club agreement. He says
the Great Western was never a party
to the latter compact.

COULDN'T BE ANDREE.
Prof Baldwin Doesn't Believe That
His Air Ship was Seen.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Evelyn B. Bald
win, when asked this morning concern
ing the appearance of Andree's balloon
in British America, latitude 55.15, lon
gttude 1910, said: Il do not believe
the report, as welcome as the accom-
pHshment of the achievement would
be to me. AS late as August 2 or 8,
Andree had not yet left Spitzbergen
and he therefore could not have been
three thousand miles beyond that point
on the evening of the third as related
by the British American Indians. The
bright lights seen by them may have
been auroraI displays. Again, Andree
expected to land in latitude 20,
longitude 100 the northern portion of
British America
Although Andree's air ship is a won
derful piece of mechanism and under
favorable conditions would undoubted-
ly accomplish the voyage, I regard the
sled and ship as the only practical
means of accomplishing the conquest
of the north. Still Andree's efforts
must be regarded in the nature of a
scientific experiment. Should he lose,
he alone will suffer most; should he
win, the world will be the gamer there

MURRAY HILL FAILURE.
The Assets of the Bank are Not First
Glass.

New York, Aug. 12.-Examiner Kill
day afternoon that the cash assets of
the Murray Hill bank which closed its
doors were $18O,O00 and $34 900 due from
the clearing house. OF this amount
$45 900 at least may be deducted in ex-
change for Mondays business. 1t also
has $50, 400 unavailable assets in the
shape of bonds of a brewing company
to which the bank loaned large amounts
but which are said not to be worth ten
cents on the dollar. The bank also
holds $122, 900 in second mortgage bonds
and sos, 900 of this amount is hypOthe-
Gated with a loan of $S4 900. The depos-
it's of the bank have fallen off $3.50, 900
in the last few months $500, 900 of the
sets is hypothetical to secure the
clearing house and another loan on the
outside of $50 600.
There are l. 700 depositors affected by
the closing of the bank.
Mr. Kilburn also said:
Il closed the Murray Hill bank be-
cause it was in an unfit condition after
consulting with the clearing house
committee and the board of directors
of the bank. The trouble is so far as I
am able to ascertain that they have not
sufficient money to do business and no
way of raising it without sacrifice. It
is my opinion that the depositors will
be paid in full.
Il had a meeting with the directors
this morning and proposed that if they
could raise 100000 and put it in the
assets I would allow them to continue
I found this impossible and believing
that a further continuance of business
would develop into a worse state of
affairs, I deemed it advisable to close
the bank at once

DISCOUNT ON U. s. MONEY.
Canada is Doing Only What We Do
Regarding Her Silver.

Washington, Aug. 12.-There was some
gossip at the treasury department
about the action of Canadian banks
charging discount of 10 per cent on
our money. In the past a considerable
amount of United States bills have cir
culated beyond the border concurrently
with Canadian money They have been
receivable for taxes and have been in
Interchangeable without discrimination.
The present action of the banks of
Canada, it is presumed, is the result of
a fear that the country would be forced
on a silver basis. Greenbacks and
treasury notes are redeemabIe in gold
and against such bills the Canadian
banks make no discrimination. Our
banks do not accept Canadian or any
other foreign silver coin at par. Euro
pean countries do the same thing. The
French or the German mark when it
crosses the border is received at a dis
count. They circulate at par only in
their own country. Some of the Cana
dian street railway companies have also
given out that they will not accept our
silver after January 1.
Canadian coins are not accepted now
bv the United States street railroads
except along the immediate border
where they can find their way back in
to the dominion at once.

to Governor Morrill, for his efforts in

manager of the home, says:
To bestow gifts is the natural i'm
pulse of grateful hearts, and we know
of nothing that could De mere appro-
priately presented by US, or more high
~ valued by yourself, than the glorious
flag you served so faithfully in the days
of it's peril and which we fought to pre-
serve The nag was dear to our hearts
in those days as the emblem of political
freedom, but, thanks to you, sir, we
love it still more since our emancipation
from alcoholic slavery has quickened
our minds and warmed our hearts to a
higher conception of what true freedom
means.
1--WE ask you, sir, to accept this flag
from the Veterans Kelley league as a
testimonial of gratitude. We cannot
NAM Of every man and woman and
child who has ben blessed by the Kee-
ley cure through your efforts, but we
assure you that your name is inscribed
upon their grateful hearts.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of
the 1878 Kelley rescued veterans of the
republic, and the wives and children
who have shared with them the bless
ings conferred by the noble efforts of
the soldiers true friend, Hon. E. N.
Morrill,
When the flag was presented and the
address read the governor thanked the
veterans in a few remarks and invited
them to take dinner with him at the
Copeland.
