Madrid, June /. 5 p. m.-The atten-
ton of the public today is absorbed in
the condition of the Bank Of Spain,
which is considered more serious than
any reserve Of the war. inasrnuch as
the impossibility of the bank to help
the government means inpossibility
to continue the war.
There was a long procession at the
bank during the day. All classes OF peo-
pie were represented, and many
women were in line, waiting
their turn TO change notes in
to silver, fearing n notes
would 500 be subjected to a discount.
If the run continues there is danger
Of the banks stock of silver becoming
exhausted, which would compel the
government to resort to a forced cur
rency, issuing notes OF small denomi
nation. 1t is hoped, however, that the
panic will subside, leaving h bank
a margin of silver.
The financial outlook OF Spain is
rather dark. The government has en-
trusted the Bank OF Spain with the
negotiations for a loan OF 1000. 00(
pesetas at 4 per cent. which sum Is &c
be raised when required The bank will
endeavor to raise the loa at home AND
abroad.

Forfeiture of $500 Entered up Against
Each Of the Three Commissioners,
Foster, Dempsey and
Superior Court Appealed TO.

1t was decreed yesterday by Justice
Bunting that Commissioners Foster,
Dempsey and Nixon had Die the
laws of North Carolina by holding two
official positions at the same time; and,
therefore, must each pay a 5000 forfeit
m the instituter, Mr.. Nick Morris. The
right of such judgments were, how
ey n. questioned by the commissioners
counsel. Marsden Bellamy, Esq, n
an appeal taken to the superior court
The status of these suits are well
law under which the indictments were
instituted was published in yesterdays
issue of The Messenger.
It was a sort of me after you Cos
sip yesterday morning. At $3.50 o'clock
the suits instituted in Justice Bum
ting's court were called, and a trial en-
tered into.
After hearing argument by counsel,
Marsden Bellamy, Esq, for the de1en-
dants, and swift Empie, Esq, for the
plaintiff, Mr.. Nick Morris, in whose
name the suits were solely commenced,
Justice Bunting gave judgment for 5000
in each suit. The defendants, through
their attorney, appealed to the higher
court from this judgment.
At 10 o'clock suits embracing the
same alleged offense committed at the
same time, were called for trial in JUS
tice FoWler's court. Here, again ap-
peared Mr.. Bellamy for the defend
ants, while Colonel Thos. w. Strange
and Jno. D. Bellamy, Esq, represented
the plaintiff, Mr.. Jordan Branch
Right in the offset trouble commenced.
The suits being instituted on behalf of
Jordan Branch and the state of North
Carolina jointly, which was not deem
ed correct Colonel Strange moved to
amend by making Mr.. Branch the sole
i~nstituter. This Mr.. Bellamy objected
to on grounds that it would not be an
amendment; if it was necessary to
name Mr.. Branch as the sole plaintiff,
then it was necessary to begin anew.
Mr.. Bellamy also said his clients a
only a short time previously been tried
for the alleged Offense now about to
be investigated and judgment enter
ed up against them. ms on the
otherside commended hat if such was
the case it made no difference, as the
present suits had been instituted and
summons issued prior to the COM
mencement of any other similar ac-
ions.
Justice Fowler announced that he
would take the entire matter under
consideration and render his decision
tomorrow.
The suit against Commissioner
Dempsey was thrown out of the court,
as his initials were incorrect on the
summons, and a motion to amend
was OVer-ruled.

The Columbia.

New York Commercial Advertiser.)
There are several consultations about
the accident to the Columbia. One Is
that she will be of just as much service
against the enemy in the Brooklyn dry
dock as h would be cruising up and
down the north Atlantic coast, where
h authorities have shown their deter
mination to keep her. Another is that
the usefulness Of water-tight compart-
ments, with proper discipline, has been
INDICATED. Without them she would have
gone to the bottom like the Victoria,
which had compartments but sank be-
fore they could be closed. The Column
bias crew was disciplined and h COM
partments were closed. So the Columbia
stayed afioat and saved the crew OF the
vessel that rammed her.

The Republican congressional con
vention for the second district was
held in Pueblo Saturday afternoon
Thos. R. Ho6mire was chairman OF
the convention and Oscar /. Mcneil
secretary. Most of the delegates
were right from the Denver conven-
ton and the same resolutions adopted
in Denver were adopted at Pueblo.
After the organization was per
fected Mr.. Elwell arose and put IN
nomination for congressman B. Clark
Wheeler, Of Aspen In his remarks
he said: Two years ago l was un-
fortunate to think that the only way
that could serve silver was to leave
the Republican party and go in with
the national silver party. did not
think and never did think that it was
necessary to abandon the Republican
party in the state. 1t is a false pre-
tense that other parties are better
for silver than the Republican party.
| b We watched the acts of all and !
believe that Mr.. Wolcott has done
more for Colorado than all the other
representatives in Washington. Mr..
Bell, l believe, was elected to Congress
on account of personal esteem and not
for any political reason and he has
misrepresented the people of this
district on every vote. The sheep
growers, the cattle men and all others
in the district realize the good and
prosperity that has come to them
through the Republican party and
without saying more l wish to nomi-
nate B. Clark Wheeler, of Aspen"
The nomination was seconded by
many and was made by acclamation.
