San Francisco Bapker Crazy on an
Overland Train.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-John D. Tollant.
the president of the Tollant Banking
company, of San Francisco, is confined
in the East Chicago station, a raving
maniac. Locked in compartment of
the overland limited train, which ar
rived at the Northwestern depot at
$50 o'clock this nothing, the demented
banker paced to and fro in the greatest
excitement occasionally throwing him
self against the walls sof the car and
crying out in mental agony, until the
train slowed up on the depot tracks.
when he was removed to a waiting pa
troll wagon and taken TO the station
During his compulsory ride through
the North side streets the bank presi-
dent was held struggling on the floor
of the wagon, the strong arms Of two
police officers being required to pre-
vent him from escaping. Constantly
endeavoring&to tear himself loose from
the grasp. of the officers, he was car
ried to a cell in the station house.
where, exhausted from his efforts, he
lay on the floor, mumbling incoherently
about the efforts he imagined were be-
ing made to advertise him as notori-
Gus criminal.
Saturday evening the California
banker left for a vacation in Europe
He was to meet his wife in Paris, and
the two expected to spend the autumn
months in a tour of the continent. On
Sunday morning, after the train had
progressed far on it's journey across
the mountains, Tollant began to act
queerly Yesterday, soon after the linn
tied train pulled out of Council Bluffs,
To-, the passengers in the coach where
Tollant was seated were alarmed by
the fact that he was muttering loudly,
Suddenly, without warning, he drew
a $40 gold piece from his pocket and

est neighbor. This was followed by
volley of gold coin, which was hurled
at the fleeing passengers. Tollant
pulled a revolver out of his pocket and
flourished it when he was approached
by the train hands. Waving his weg =
on, the man started running down the
aisle of the car. He suddenly drew his
watch from his pocket and threw it
at the persons who were crowding each
other to gain exit through the coach
door, Closer he approached the few
who were still in the car, and who
were expecting momentarily that the
maniac would pull the trigger of the
pistol, which was leveled in their d.
rection. However, the, man did not
fire his revolver He would stop and
pick up his watch and throw it again
and again against the now closed door,
which prevented him from following
the men and women whom he had
chased from the car. Suddenly, while
he was bending to again pick up his
timepiece, his arms were seized from
behind, and he was thrown struggling
to the floor. Conductor F. H. Clark had
silently stepped down the aisle from
the other end of the coach and leaped
on the maniac. The conductor was
followed by brakeman and two pas
sengers, and the four succeeded in dis
arming the unfortunate man and con-
fining him in an apartment.

FULL OF PROMISE.
Are the Figures Showing the Con-
dition of National Banks.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-George NJ.
Coffin, assistant comptroller of the cur
rency, in speaking of the compilation of
the reports of the national banks on
July %, 1897, made public yesterday
said today: "The figures showing total
resources and liabilities for all the ma
tional banks on July %, 1897, just COM
piled, are full of strength and promise
They show total resources amounting
tc 1888, 40S,0 53, the greatest amount
ever reached in the history of the sys-
tenn, the nearest approach being a total
or $3.50 1877 on Sept. 80, 1892 The
Item largely contributing to the grand
aggregate of their liabilities is that of
individual deposits, which, on July 23,
1897, stood at $1,770, 4SO, 563, the highest
point ever touched by this item, the
next highest having been 81, 765, 422. 9S3
on Sept. 80, 1892.
This showing is all the more strik-
ing because it is made after the severe
liquidation of the past four wears
which has reduced the number of ma
ticnal banks from 1880. high water
mark, on May 4, 1898, to $3.50, on July
%. 1897. In the item of loans and dis
counts, the highest point ever touched
was 81, 161, 401 $685. and May 4, 1893. lust
preceding the panic of that year.
Against this, loans and discounts on
May %, 1897, were s., 977, $50, 10, but &C
tual cash in bank on July %, 1897, was
$413, 1882 against but 1922, 863, 304 on
May 4, 1893, when loans were most
greatly extended. AS the loans of the
national banks expanded about $43, 00O,-
900 between May IA and July %, 1897, it
is nearly certain that this movement
has continued during the past month.
1.-THE meaning of the figures is that
the national banks, as a whole, We're
never stronger and better prepared in
cash resources to furnish all facilities
for moving the great wheat and cotton
crops that are now coming to the mar
kets of the world. The only speck of
danger in the future is that amidst
all the present evidences of business re-
vlval the bitter experience Of the past
four years may be forgotten and that
the ball of speculation may be again
set rolling into future of business
disaster"

REPORTS FROM LEE.
Comment Upon a Variety of Events
in Cuba.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Consul
General Lee has scent several reports
to the state department concerning the
condition of affairs in Cuba. He re-
ports that Dominguez, who was arrest
ed Aug. TO- and for whom he claimed
all the rights to which he was entitled
as an American citizen, under the
treaty and protocol, had given up his
formally acquired rights as an Ameri-
can citizen. An unofficial effort to save
the mans life brings the statement
from Capt. Gen. Weyler that the pro-
ceedings have been sent to the prose-
cutting officer to determine if the cogni-
zance of the case pertains to the ordi-
nary jurisdiction in accordance with
the protocol of Jan. IL, 1887
The state department is also informed
that through the influence of Miss LUZ
Gay, the proprietress of a small illus
trated paper in Havana, the alleged
American citizen, Romero who was ar
rested and placed in prison incommu-
nicado early in August, has been de-
ported to the Isle of Pines. Romero re-
sided in New Orleans for a number of
years, and Miss Gay, who is engaged
to marry him, reported to- Gen. Lee
that she thought her affianced had be-
come naturalized citizen of the United
States. But Romero, though able to
do so, never communicated with the
consul general at all.
Gen. Weyler has given Gen. Lee his
reasons for expelling George Eugene
Brison, a correspondent of the New
York Journal. Weyler says that the
correspondent was found to have on
his person several documents contain
ing false and injurious news and that
the conduct observed by him is system
atically hostile to the cause of Spain.
The governor of the region and Gen.
Lee are to fix the day on which the
correspondent should leave.

NEGROES MAY BECOME CADETS.
Two COIOred Boys to- Take the Ex-
animation at Annapolis

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Two COL
cred boys will appear at the naval
academy at Annapolis on Wednesday
of next week for examination for ad-
mission as cadets in that institution
The boys are John w. Smith, of Chi
cago, appointed by Congressman Geo.
E. White, of that city, and Richard c.
Bundy,of Cincinnati, appointed by Con-
gresham William G. Shattuc, of Gin
cinnati.
They will not be examined alone
Between 80 and 100 white boys will un-
dergo examination next week, and
Smith and Bundy will be examined
with them. They are thus guaranteed
fair and impartial examination. Ma
val officers, however, are betting 10 to
1 that the boys will not graduate, not
because of any possibility Of hazing
or of discrimination, but because a
negro has not yet been found possessed
of a sufficiently strong mentality to
stand the strain of a course such as
that to which naval cadets are sub
jected
Smith, Congressman Whites protege,
was nominated for the naval academy
last year, but failed in the eXamina-
ton, and was renominated. Mr.. White
has stated that if Smith is again re-
jected he will continue to renominate
him so long as he remains member
of congress.

Ids hall. with about fifty delegates
present from nine states and one ter
ritory. The call had been extended to
all loyal American non-partisan

platform Incorporating the principles
of the true American form of govern
n.ent." The states represented were.
New York, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois,
Missouri. Iowa, Kansas. Colorado,
Louisiana and Indian Territory. 1t is
said that a number of other states

organization was effected with Ellison
Stocker, of Colorado, as chairman, and
j. S. Hasselbache, of Detroit, as sec
rotary After the appointment of COM
mittees on resolutions and representa-
tions, adjournment was taken until 8
o'clock tomorrow. when reports of
these two committees will be heard.
Col. e. r. Sellers, a prominent law
yer of Detroit, who is at the head of
the movement. called the convention
to order at 10 a. m. He read the call
and emphatically denied the state
ment in a dispatch from Washington,
that this was movement to form the

A lengthy address was delivered by
Col Sellers, in which he said that the
two principal parties are false to the
doctrine and principles of unity, and
are standing menace to popular gov
eminent. He gave at length his views
of needed reforms. Among other
things he favored the system of the
initiative and the referendum in the
formation of laws; equal suffrage; the
adjustment of the primary system
and changes in registration and bal
loting systems; separation of church
and state; recognition of labor as the
source of wealth; protection of wage

SUGAR WILL GO UP.
Sugar King Havemeyer Gives the
Public the Hint.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-There is more
trouble in store for the housekeeper
Sugar is on the UP grade and the next
lew days is likely to witness a sharp
increase in the price. The heavy fruit
packing season is said to be responsible
for the big demand for sugar products
L look for an advance" said Will
lam A. Havemeyer, Western agent of
the sugar company. while the notii-
cation of an advance has not vet ar
rived, I am inclined to believe that We
are right on the verge of fractional
, increase in the price of sugar. IT 10
said that the packing of plums, grapes
and crabapples, with other fruits, will
be enormous this season. The Eastern
JobberS have been carrying very low
stocks. When this big demand begins
to make itself felt, it is bound to drive
prices up.
81 will be mistaken if this is not TO
be one of the largest and most pros
porous years in the sugar business
Still the increase may not be said TO
be special this year, as there is al
ways a heavy demand in the fall and
generally small increase in the price
The price Of sugar is now five cents
per pound. l look for first advance
Of thirty-siX one-hundredths, and this
may be further increased to five and
three-quarters. This VIII make total

per pound to the consumer. The mar
ket is In very strong position. We look
for the biggest September and October
we have had in years."

PORT PERCENTAGES.
Figures for New York Show a ReIa-
tive Decrease.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The forth
coming annual report of the bureau of
statistics will show the percentages Of
the aggregate exports of the United
States for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1897, at seventy of the principal GUS
tom ports. It@is shown that the eX--
ports from the port OF New York have
fallen off from 1922 per cent of the
whole in 1895 to 1927 in 1897. Boston's
exports were al per cent of the whole
in 1895; 1926 per cent in 1896, and $50
in 1897. New Orleans has made gain
from 8.47 per cent in 1895 to $3.50 in
1897. Baltimore also increased here ex-
ports from 7.52 per cent in 1896 to 815
last year. This increase is said to be
due to the large increase in the ship
ments of corn. The exports from Phil
adelphia increased from 7.52 in 1896 to
S.15 last year. This increase is said
to be due to the recent exceptionally
large shipments of wheat There was
also an increase at San Francisco from
z per cent to SIS in 1892. Galveston
increased from Alp per cent in 1896 to
8.54 last year, and Newport News, Va,
from 1.66 in 1896 to 2.10 last year. Puget
Sound, Washington, increased from .7S
per cent in 1896 to 1.13 in 1897 Norfolk
