Chicago. August s.--The great Du-

into history and Bert claridge. Of Bal.

Out Of lIs nominations only fiye kill

accomplish this feat II was O'Clock
when Referee Watson called the five
men to the "A" set Of traps. Kirkeyer
stood at "a yards; Claridge. Miller and
Gotlleb at 20 yards. and Bell at 20
yards. Claridge was the first man to
go to the score. All the contestants
except Bell were pulsating with ex-
citement. claridge killed clean: the
Texan followed suit; GotleIb shot un-
der his bird with both barrels and fell
back. and Bell knocked over a swift
right quarterer with his first barrel.
The tension in the four remaining men
was tremendous.
on the second round Claridge killed
nicely. but used his second for safety
Miller killed with his first. and Kirk
ever grassed his bird beautifully. Bell
hit his bird with both barrels. 1t was
a hard driver. and fell dead out OF the
bounds.
In the third round Miller and Kirk
ever missed. They could stand the
strain no longer. Claridge had TO kill
his next two birds, which he did. but
was so nervous when he went TO the
trap for the last time that he sent a
load Of shot into the ground in front

NEW YORK BANKS.
Loans Steadily Contracting Under TX
istlng Conditions.

New York. August S.-The Financiar
says this week:
The statement OF the clearing house
banks OF New York city for the week
ended August Sth shows continued
decrease in the principalsitems. A con-
traction in loans was TO have been
expected in view Of the influences that
prevailed during the week. but the
amount Of contraction was gratifyingly
small, when circumstances are taken
into consideration.
The principal loss was in deposits.
and at first sight this appears out of
proportion to other changes, but a
great deal OF cash has gone out OF
the New York banks to the West dur
ing the week. greater amount. in
fact, than would have been the case
under more normal conditions. Chica-
go called for large balances, and the
demand from Southern and other
Western points was heavy.
The loans Of the New York banks are
down to $46S,OS7. 800, loss of $S,OOO.OO
since July 8, The total, however is
nearly s4s,OOO,OOO less than at this time
last year and it is worthy Of mention
that while loans were expanding last
year at the rate of about $2,OOOO0O a
week, they are now contracting stead
ala.

TROUBLE AT a CANNERY.

Something of disturbance occurred
yesterday afternoon at Seaborg's Col
umbla cannery in Uppertown. Shcrif
Hare was telephoned for, but as he
was out of the city, Deputy Prael re-
sponded to the call 1t was reported
that $50 fishermen were on the cannery
dock, and that they had used force
to prevent the landing of fish from the
Ilwaco traps. The reason for their ac-
ton was that since they had left the
day before for the fishing grounds, and
during their absence, a notice had been
posted at the cannery that only three
cents would be paid for fish. This the
men refused TO accept under the cir
cumstances, and rather than submit
threw their own fish overheard. Dep
uty Prael, feeling unable to handle the
situation, called on the police depart
ment, and Captain Hallock went 20 his
assistance, No acts of violence were
committed, and no arrests were made.

who irresponsible for this food Of
economic insanity? II ia no answer 10
say THE convention was captured by
the Populists" How came the Popu-
lists TO capture the convention? There
was no fusion Of parties; everything
was done within and through the rda-
chncry Of the Democratic party. The
primaries and state conventions
throughout the country. which elected
the delegates 20 attend the Chicago
convention were Democrats. and were
controlled entirely by the machinery
Of the regular Democratic national or
ganlEStlon. II the Populists captured
the convention they must have captur-
ed the Democrats themselves, by con-
yerting them 20 PopulistIc doctrines.
Indeed all the facts OF the case show
that this Is really what occurred.
The Democratic convention was not
captured by Populists hitherto outside
Of the party. but the Democratic vot-
crs who in the South and West, and
To- no small extent In the East, have
become converted TO the Popullst doc
trincs. Who. then. II responsible for
this change in the convictions and
conduct OF the great mass Of the Dem
ocratic voters? Where did they get
their education in these soclalistic
theories?
Who have been the leaders Of the
Democratic party during the last ten
years. while this movement has been

II Is true that they are now boilers
