BANK CLEARINGS.
DEATH BLOW DEALT.
England VIII Do Nothing to Ad-
vance BimetaIlism.

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-The United States
monetary commissioners have received
no official information regarding the
action taken by the British cabinet on
Saturday last Private advices, how
ever, convince them that the cabinet
has dealt the death blow to their mis-
sion. 1t is expected the commissioners
will shortly be informed that her maj
esty's government regrets being unable
to accede to their proposals. but is will
ing to listen to any other plan they
may suggest. Both parties to the con-
ference know that no other practical
scheme can be advanced. In the event
of the expected reply being received
the United States commissioners will
return to the United States.
1t is learned that the only thing the
cabinet officially discussed in connec-
ton with the currency question on
Saturday was Sir James Westland's re-
port Sir James is head of the finan-
cial department of India and his vol
luminous report took the strongest
grounds against re-opening the minis.
The commissioners believe their failure
means that no further effort in behalf
of bimetallism will be made for many
years to come. They attribute thelr
failure to the opposition of the bankers
and of the London Times.
The afternoon papers today echo the
opinions of the morning newspapers
in congratulating the government upon
finally disposing of the bi-metallic
scare" and expressing regret that it
should lever even have seemed to re-
ceive support in high quarters Hugh
c.. Smith, governor of the Bank of Eng
land, said today to a representative of
the Associated Press: The bank is
private company without any govern
ment control and is not responsible to
the government, except in the terms of
its charter. The government cannot
issue any orders relative to the banks
reserves At the same time, the gov
eminent is the banks best customer,
and, the court of governors being COM
posed of law-abiding citizens, whenever
the government makes a request, we do
our best to comply. The government
must be presumed to know what is
best for the country. The press has
ben filled with misstatements. The
government were asking If the banK
were willing to renew its offer made at
the Paris monetary conference, in 1881,
regarding it's reserve. I replied in the
same tenor as the memorandum which
the banks told the conference though
more guardedly. That is all that hap
pened. The statement that the bank
has been coquetting with the American
commissioners is pure rubbish. Except
ing what / have read in the papers ]
have never heard of these gentlemen.

Glass Umbrellas.

1t is rumored that before long glass umbrel-
las will be in general use-that s, umbrellas
covered with the new spun-glass 9th. These,
of course, will afford no protection from the
rays of the sun, but they will possess one
obvious advantage-namely that they can be
he'd in front of the face when meeting the
wind and rain, and at the same time the user
will be able to see that he does not run
into unoffending indiv .duals of lamp-posts.
But WIT say the loyers-the seaside holiday
loyers-who are to be seen on every beach
round the coast, with their backs to the cleft
or a handy boat, an injured. old-style IN
brella in front of them, leaving nothing to
the gaze of the inquisitive save the so,eS Of

CASHIER CONVICTED.
Found Guilty of Wrecking bank
ing Concern in Kansas.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Oct. 1S.-Cash-
Ter George A. Taylor, of the Argentine
bank. which failed last year, owing
thousands of dollars to depositors, was
convicted in the criminal court in Ar
gentine, Kan, today of wrecklng the
e. rcern. The trial has been proceeding
for week. Taylor held considerable
paper of friends who at the critical
moment were unable to come to his
rescue. Considerable excitement and
strong talk followed the close Of the
bank whose depositors were mostly
poor people, and Taylor disappeared.
\ reward for his arrest was offered,
but he finally surrendered. Sentence
has not yet been passed. The liabili-
ties of the bank when it failed We're
found to be s198,000, and the assets
about $4,000 less. 1t was shown that
false statements of the banks condi-
ton were sworn to by Taylor and that
his bank held $4,000 worth of worth
less paper Cashier Taylor comes from
one of the best families in Wyandotte
county. His attorney will probably
ask for another trial.
