But the reaction was as sharp as
the decline had been. This was due

BUSINESS DISASTERS.
SAN FRANCISCO COMMISSION
HOUSE GOES TO SMASH.
Brown & Co. Fail, With
Liabilities OF Several Hundred
Thousand Dollars-Other Failures.

San Francisco. May 1.-THE we'll es-
tablished firm of Williams, Brown &
Co., wholesale shipping and commits
sion merchants, is in financial difficult
ties. It's liabilities are said to be about
$600,000, but its assets are believed to
be sufficient to meet most of its obli-
cations. If tire creditors viii grant an
extension of time, the firm hopes to re
sumo business. For the past eight years
the firm has been recognized as one OF
the most active houses in the Aus
tralian import trade In the salmon
canning business, Williams. Brown &
Co. were the hackers of enterprises Of
immense proportions. In handling the
Alaska fish output they conducted
operations that annually represented
from 40, 600 TO 200 000 cases of salmon,
and in their export grain trade to Aus
tralia their shipments in a season often
amounted to from 80 to 40 cargoes.
Since December the concern has loaded
seven vessels for the antipodes. whose
joint cargoes are valued at 100000
The direct cause Of the failure Of the
firm is said to have been the failure of
Australian cCnsignees TO meet bills
drawn against them for heavy ship
ments oe grain.
From statement prepared by one
of the creditors the following is de-
duced: Assets, $3.50, 105: liabilities, $751;
050 1t is said that this statement is
not correct and that matters are in a
much worse state than the above fig
ureS show.

Washington, May 1.-ConSideratio ton
of the senate amendments TO the sun
dry civil appropriation bill was finished
by the house today. and the bill sent to
a conference. President Cleveland $
forest reservation order was the sub
ject of much debate and the house
voted TO concur in the senate amend
ment to annul the order, with the I'M
Outstanding that the conferees should
arrange an amendment which would
have the same effect.
The debate on this subject followed
closely the lines of that of yesterday.
1t was participated in almost exclu-
sively by western members, who point
ed out the injury to present settlers
that would result if Cleveland order
should become operative. Several
amendments were offered but with
drawn. Short speeches criticising Pres
ident CleVeland's order were made by
Messrs. Underwood (Dem., Ala.), Ellis
(Rep., Orr, Knowles (Pop., S. ID, La
cey (Rep., la, Brucker (Dem., Mich,
Devries Dem.. CALI, Bailey (Dem,
Tex and Mr.. Hartman IS R., NOM.
Mr.. Lacey remarked that Mr.. Hart
man assumed that President Mckinley
would repeal the mistakes of President
Cleveland.
L don't think there is any man on
the face of the earth who is such a
blunderhead that Re could make thou
sandth part of the mistakes made by
President Cleveland" retorted Mr.
Hartman.
Il did not support President McKin-
ley, but thank God, he is an American
president, the first we have had in four
years"
Mr.. Lacey withdrew the amendment
proposed by him yesterday. Other
pending amendments were withdrawn
and the house voted, 100 to 80, ,. nom
concur in the senate amendment, with
the understanding that instructions be
made TO the conferees later.
CIVIL SERVICE SQUABBLE.
The senate amendment providing that
the mineral land commissioners be ap-
pointed by the president, with the "ad-
vice and consent of the senate" was
opposed by Mr.. Dockery CDem. MOI.
who asserted that its only effect was
to take officials out of the classified ser
vice. He used this as text to taunt
the Republicans on their civil service
record.
1t was contended by Mr.. Lacey that
the y commissioners were Democrats
appointed by Mr.. Cleveland, who en-
deavored by his order TO continue them
in office. Mr.. McRae (Dem.. Ark) re-
piled that one member of each of the
four boards was a Republican The
house coneurred in the amendment
Mr.. Cannon Offered an an endment II

fiscal year 1S97-1S9S. of which $500. 900
should be deducted from the appropri-
alton for 189S-1S99 The effect of the
amendment was to expend half a mill
lion a year before it would otherwise
be available, and it was agreed TO.

effect grew out of the suspension OF

be received in the future, and also,
owing to the rumor that paper money
would be black listed, thus causing
