come In waves. Between 1863 and 1872
, uvre were only A failures, and their liza
o'iitles were small. But in the next six
years-lS73 to 1878, inclusive--there were
zoo failures, with liabilities aggregating
ABOUT S70,0O0,000. That was the panic
period of 1879
between 1873 and 1898 there were a good
many failures, aggregatng 825 in number
oue, as rule, their liabilities were small

BANKS failed. In 1894 the number was 40.
~ 1870 IL was III, and In 1896, up to Oct.

Twill thus be seen that tho panic of 1878

Wheeling, w Va, July s.-United States
Marshal Devanney of Cincinnati. accom-
panied by a large force of deputies, passed
through Wheeling early this morning on
a special train for Dillonvale, up the river,
on the line Of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
road, where the railroad company Is to
make an effort to start the mines to-mor-

uties were sworn in to-day at Dillonvale.
Some OF the miners at Dillonvale who were
forced out by Long Run men on Wednes-

IL is necessary for them to be protected,
but General Manager Blickensderfer OF
the Wheeling and Lake Erie is confident
that he viii have all the men he wants

The notice that the mines will start up
tomorrow was given tonight by the
blowing Of the whistles at the works.
Notices were posted to-day by the coal
company announcing that the working
miners would receive protection from the
deputy marshals. Tonight Antonio Do
minicko was arrested at Dillonvale, at
the instgation of the United States au-
thorities, on the charge OF bringing In a

Senator Harris had not been especially

strikers Expected TO Attack Men At
tempting TO Work.


Dillonvale. o., July s.-This town is now
being patrolled by United States deputy
marshals. Twenty-six Of them were sworn
in by Commissioner Richards to-day, AT
p. m three whistles were blown from the
mine to notify the strikers that they could
return to work tomorrow. That some OF
the 800 strikers will attempt to go TO work
is certain, but it is doubtful il they will
be allowed to enter the mines, the strikers
being determined that no work shall be
done until the difficulty is settled.
Marshal Devanney, who spent the day in
visiting Long Run, Steubenvle and other
points, returned tonight with twenty-four
deputies to escort those who are willing
to work
Tomorrow will be an eventful day. The
men have been discussing the situation
and crowds have been congregating hour
ly. The Strikers have received word that
large bodies of men from Wheeling creek,
Bellaire and other neighboring points
nave started for this town to lend their
assistance in preventing men from return
ing to work tomorrow.
Anticipating trouble, Receivers Herrlck
and Blickensderfer of the Wheeling. Lake
Erie and Pittsburg Coal Company. and the
wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad Com
pany, nave issued the following notice;
All persons are hereby given notice that

dersigned as receivers of the United States
court. All persons in our employ will be

The receivers have issued an order to
all the agents along the road to refuse to

TARIFF CoNFEREEs TALK.
Democrats Withdraw to Let the Re-
nmhIicnns Confer

NouteE
Washington, july S-The first meeting of
the conferees of the Senate and House on
the tariff ball began this afternoon at 2.4O
o'clock in the room of the Senate com
mttee on finance. The meeting was at
tended by the republicans and democrats
constituting the conference committee
from both houses, and was formal one.
The democratic members of the confer
ence remained less than ten minutes. They
withdrew on the intimatlon of the repub-
Iicans that they desired an opportunity TO
reconcile their differences before consult
ing with the democrats. II was recalled
that this privilege had been conceded to
the party in power in 1890 and In 1894 and
the democrats did not demur to the propos-
ttlon. With the departure of the demo-
Gratis the republicans representing the
Senate and the House entered upon gem
eral exchange of views regarding the bill.
The republican members of the confer
ence remained together until after 6
O'Clock, devoting themselves assiduously
to an adjustment OF the differences be-
tween the two houses. Contrary to the
usual practices, which Is to regard the
first meeting as informal, and not intend
ed for serious business, they plunged into
the work and made excellent progress.
found to be excellently informed upon all
the changes made, and also to be so fami-
liar with the reasons for making them is
to render detailed explanation on the part
of the senators unnecessary. This happy
condition facilitated work TO a remarkable
degree and led to the conclusion that the
conference would be of comparatively
brief duration.
The members of the House were also
found to be, in the main willing to con-
cede much on account of the peculiar con-
dltions existing in the Senate, but while
generally apparently willing to accept
increases made TO insure the passage of
the bill through the Senate, they were not
so willing to concede the reductions.
The conference will convene at $3.50 to-
morrow. The members of the conference
refuse absolutely to give out the details of
the proceedings, having entered into a
general pledge to this end This under
standing was reached because OF the con-
Viction that any revelation of the rates
agreed upon would add immeasurably to
the work of the conferees by bringing
down upon them the remonstrances Of
those whose wishes were not met IN the
adjustment. Senator Jones OF Nevada
silver republican, sat with the
republicans after the democrats left. The
conferees will meet daily al 8 80 a. m and
continue in session until p. m, with an
hour for lunch. They Will reassembe
after dinner to continue IN session until
il clock. IL IL expected that this will
enable them 10 report the bill back by
Wednesday OF next week.
1t Is understood that agreements reach
ed as the conference progresses will be
considered as tentative, and then upon
the last day they will be punched and
agreed to. This will be done In order to
prevent the action OF the committee on
each amendment from becoming public,
and probably causing renewed pressure
from the interests affected.

SULTAN STILL STUBBORN.
No Change In the Status of Affairs a.
ConstantinOpIe.

London, July S.-Eastern affairs show
but little change during the last twenty
four hours A sensational newspaper in
Paris published a rumor to-day that NJ.
Hanotaux, minister of foreign affairs, had
informed the cabinet that matters in the
east were very serious and that Admiral
Besnard, the minister of marine, had in
structed the admiral In command of the
Mediterranean fleet to mobilize his forces
with a view of making a naval demon
stration in the Bosphorus, but this is re-
garded as unnecessarily alarmist.
More to the purpose is the fact that
Austria Hungary has presented a note to
the porte declaring that unless the Turk
ish government appoints a day for the
Turkish military commission to dis
cuss with the European attaches to STRAIT
getic frontiers proposed by Europe, the
ambassadors will request their respective
governments to adopt energetic measures.
An imperial order has been issued to
the commandant of the Dardanelles TO
prepare for the sailing of the Turkish
feet under sealed orders.

AN ATLANTA WOMAN MISSING.
Searching Parties and TeIegrams
Fail to Reveal Her WhereaboutsI

Atlanta, Ga. July S.-A sensation and
a very serious one has been created by the
mysterious disappearance of Miss Hat
tie Echols, daughter of the lady who has
served many years as the principal of
Calhoun street public school.
Mrs. Echols is the sister of the man
whom Porter Stocks murdered and also
of Judge Hillyer's son-in-laW, Harry
Echols, who has recently had so much
trouble in the courts
Miss Hattie was last seen at Lithia
Springs on Wednesday last She was
known to have boarded the train at Aus
tell and 1t was presumed she was coming
TO Atlanta. Where she has spent her
time since then is mystery her friends
cannot account for. Grave fears are en-
tertained for ner safety, and the woods
in the vicinity of Austell have been dill
gently searched. The result was a water
haul.
1t was reported at one time that she
was in this city with j. F. Lester with
whom 1t was reasonable to suppose that
she might have some business, as he is her
guardian. But he says he has seen moth
ing of her.
AT 10 o'clock tonight no news had been
heard of the young girl and the detectives
were called into consultation.
1t was hoped that the young woman had
sought the house of her ant, Mrs. Jones
of Asheville, but no evidence appears to
substantiate the theory that she attempt
ed to go there. 1t was also said that she
might have gone to Savannah, but tele-
grams from that point give as little light
as those from others. Ex-Gov. Northen
was telegraphed, but seems to have no in
formation on the subject.
