Attorney Jackson opened the proceed
ings in the criminal libel case against
w e. Haskell, manager Of the Times,
yesterday by reading from the minutes
of the executive committee, to show
what had come up before the commit
tee in reference to the West Pullman
bonds. These minutes showed that the
committee was informed that there was
plan to make the second mortgage
bonds, he'd by the trust company, in
effect first mortgage bonds. This was
imperative because the first mortgage
was overdue, and the parties were
threatening to foreclose. The meeting
then resolved to take steps to protect
the interests of the second mortgage
bonds.
Mr.. Jackson wanted to read from the
minutes matters regarding the sale of
the Northwestern Guaranty Loan
building, when Judge Belden objected,
not because he was not willing that
everything should be known, but that
1t would open up line that would take
the rest of the term of court in trying
it Mr.. Jackson promised the court
that he would connect the sale di. ectly
within the sale of the bonds and upon
that promise the court allowed the
matter read, which only showed the
appointment of a committee to confer
with the creditors committee for the
purpose of making a sale of the build
ing.
Mr.. Jackson discovered a green ink
mark on one of the pages, and accused
some one Of having torn out portion
of the book. 1t was very soon Shown
that the marks were an offset from the
other page, and the attorney made the
amend honorable, by striking out the
accusation from the records.
At this point Mr.. Jackson began the
offer of the dispositions taken in the
case. One was offered from Gov.
Hamilton" so designated by Mr.. jack
son.
Lets see He was governor for
about twenty-four hours, wasn't he?"
said Judge Belden.
deposition of L. A Walton, of Chi
cago, was not objected to, but some
were reserved for the time when it was
read. Three from John c. Coombs,
Theophilus King and Edarwd A. Smith,
of Boston. were admitted without OBJ
lection. There were several other affi-
davits which neither side had eXamin-
ed, and court adjourned at IL o'clock
until Monday, Jan. 8, 1898.

BUXTON PARDoNED.
His Friends Secure CIemency for
Him From the President.

Among the pardons issued yesterday by
President Mckinley ON the eve of Christ
mas, was one for Junot d. Buxton, former
cashier of the Minneapolis pos.office, who
was sentenced to Saltwater for three years
and six months, fer embezzlement.
1t was learned in Minneapolis that Buxton's
pardon was entirely due to- the representa-
lions of his friends. The Fidelity & Casualty
company Of New York, in which Buxton was
bonded had no hand in the matter. Neither
did it oppose the granting OF the pardon.
Mr.. Frost, of the law firm of Van Fossen &
Frost, which looks after the company's legal
business in the Northwest, said this after
noon that the company was glad to see Bux-
ton out, though they had taken no part in
the work of getting him out. According to
Mr.. Frost Mr.. Buxton would never have
gone to prison so far the company was
concerned. 1t had been compelled to make
up the deficit of $500, but would not have
prosecuted him criminaly, because his friends
stood ready to reimburse the company on
condition that he was not so prosecuted. But
in crimes against it tine United States gov
eminent knows no such things as a compro
mise and Notwithstanding the company's
Willingness to refrain from prosecuting and
of BuxtOns friends to restore the amount of
his embezzlement. he had to GO to prison.
The Casualty & Fidelity company secured
Judgment against Buxton for $500. 1t has
not been assured that his friends will clear
it UP at this late day, but Buxton himself
has promised to make it good as soon as
he can.

WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT
Seemingly Contradictory, but Log
zeal in Its Changes.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-The Fnan Ter
says this week: The settlement Of the
New York clearing house banks for the
five days ending Dec. "a is seemingly
contradictory in its results, although
an examination of the reports of the
individual banks proves that the opera
tions which brought about the Changes
were entirely logical, so far as the
totals are concerned. The increase of
$3,927 90 in loans, with decrease OF
$75S, 800 in deposits, instead Of the in
crease which usually attends a loan eX-
paLsion, was confusing factor, but.
on the other hand, there was decrease
of $4,529 600 in cash. The inference Is
that the money loaned has gone out of
banks and this is borne out by the re-
port of the National City bank, which
has made the largest fluctuations in it's
averages. 1t has expanded its loans no
less than $4,000 eco. or an amount near
w as large as the total increase for all
the banks, and it has decreased It's re-
serve in the same amount, while ltA
deposits show scarcely any variation
from the previous week. This bank Is
so prominently identified with the
Union Pacific reorganization settle
ments that the statement thus be-
comes almost self-eXplanatory.
The result of the weeks business has
been to reduce the eX5kSS reserve or the
banks $4,202, 500, leaEng but $1l,523, 450
more than required by the % per cent
requirement This is the smallest re-
serve reported since October, 1896, when
call money was quoted at from to
per cent. But the present outlook does
not indicate any such stringency. Inc
reduction is due entirely to payments
into the subtreasury on Union Pacific
account and as the government is now
beginning to disburse larger amounts
to meet the principal of maturing
bonds. the effect will be to Offset any
stringency that otherwise might occur.
Many of these checks will be available
for bank use Monday. and in ADDITION
about one-half Of the sS,OOO,OOO to be
raid by the Union Pacific committee
on account, will be deposited by the
treasury in banks. Money will be firm
over the close OF the year, but any
stringency after that time is bound to
still further depress the price of ex-
change, and this, despite the high rates
for money abroad, would bring specie
imports.
