THE BOARD OF FINANCE ANOTHER SESSION OF THE INTES-
 TIGATION LAST NIGHT.
Members of the Old Board Summoned i'm Ex-Mayor FarnswOrth and Others Questiomed-Busine Methods of the Old Board Hearings on Estimates Be- uin SOOn

The board of finance last night held
 its second meeting for the purpose of
 conducting the investigation into the
 matter of the deposit of city money.
 Last nights session was devoted to ! hearing testimony from the members of the board of finance in office in May, | 1898, the board which failed to comply with the charter requirement that a | depository for city money should be | designated. The meeting was open to the public and a number of citizens
 availed themselves of the opportunity to watch the actions of the f1nanciers.
 The first witness called was ex-May-
 or Farnsworth, who was effl-officio chairman of the board which, it is now
 alleged, was derelict to it's duty. MT. Farnsworth stated that he made no personal inquiry of banks to ascertain if they would pay interest on city de- posits and knew of no formal vote to send out request for interest bids un- til a letter was received from the Mer- chants bank offering to pay per cent. He said that the impression of the mem- bers was that no interest would be paid by any of the banks of the city.
 MT. Dewell called MT. Farnsworth's attention to letter which the latter wrote to the corporation counsel in 1898 asking if the designation of a bank of deposit could be legally deferred until after June 1, 1S99 MT. Dewell asked why MT. Farnsworth asked that ques- ton, and MT. Farnsworth replied that he did not know. He said that at that time the treasurer's salary was only S400 and that the treasurer paid out that amount for clerk hire. The only pay which the treasurer received was the honor of the position and the ben- eft which he derived from the handling of city money.
 MT. Dewell--"Was 1t because you knew that the treasurer's salary would not be raised until after June 1, 1899, that you asked that question of the corporation counsel?''
 MT. Farnsworth-"No, do not think 1t was"
 Ex-Controller Benjamin F. Brown was the next witness called. He said that he informed the board of finance that the banks would not pay interest on deposits. He had inquired of nearly all the banks of the city and ascertain ed that they would not pay interest | He said that he did not ask MT. Mer- sick, at that time treasurer, to write a letter to the board calling attention to section 80 of the charter and offering per cent, on deposits.
 Controller Rowe produced some books |, of record showing monthly balances | during the term of office of Treasurer | Mersick and asked MT. Brown to verify | the balances there shown.
 MT. Wheeler objected to these ques- tions being asked, unless they were in | reference to the matter of city de- pository.
 MT. Rowe said that the balances as | shown by the books showed that MT. 1 Mersick should have paid the city more than $6000 in interest money. He said that his object in questioning MT. Brown was to have the latter verify the balances which showed this. MT.

WILD WELCOME IN LONDON
IMPERIILS' RETURN ATTENDED
 BY OYER goo CASUALTIEs,
Three or Four Persons Were Killed Outright-4,OO0 Police and 2a,o0O Troops Unable to Restrain the Crowds Casualties Greater Than Those of the Whole Corps i'm It's TyeHty-six En- EaEements i'm Africa.

London, Oct. 29-The welcome to-day
 in honor of the City Imperial Volun-
 teers, just returned from South Africa, was one of the most enthusiastic and
 at the same time one of the widest demonstrations ever evoked for such a small body of returning soldiers.
 The list of casualties among the well coming multitude was longer than that of the whole corps in it's twenty-six en- agreements in South Africa Partial returns from the hospitals and police stations indicate that more than 200 were badly hurt. Three CT four persons were killed outright.
 There were 4000 police and 22,000 troops on duty along the line of march, but they were unable to manage the crowds. Women and girls tainted and were trampled under foot. Stands over- loaded with sightseers fell in. Twelve persons out of thirty who were riding on top of a mail wagon under which the wheels gave way had bones broken. Two children were killed A man who was leaning over the parapet of the roof of four-story building lost his balance and fell upon a group of women, killing one and hurting two others. The man, who fell afterwards walked away ap- parently uninjured.
 More than 1000 persons were treated by the ambulance corpS although in most cases the injuries were not seri- ous. There were, however, many cases of serious injuries and it is not un- likely that there will be other deaths. Two men fell from a scaffold on a building in F'insbury Circus and both were killed.
 Many of the soldiers in the line of march were hurt in combats with the crowd. Altogether London had a wild day, with much fun and unfortunately great grief in many households because of the accidents.
 After an eight hours march, broken by sermon at St. PauPs cathedral by the Bishop of Stepney and a speech by Lord Mayor Newton at the Guild hall, the volunteers sat down to a course din- her at the headquarters of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of London, where Lord Wolseley and many other notable persons received and addressed them.
 After the usual loyal toasts Lord Vol l seley, responding for the Imperial | Forces" read the following telegram 1 which he had received from Queen Vic ! tor.a:
 Please assure Lhe City of London i, Imperial Volunteers that l heartily | share in those feelings of joy and | which have been evinced ] In the enthusiastic welcome accorded l them to-day. Tell them with what pride l and satisfaction have received the un- 1 varying reports of their soldier-like con- | 1uct during the dangers and hardships | of a trying campaign.
 While joining in the happiness of the many relatives and friends who cele- 0rate the homecoming of their dear ones, I deeply sympathize with those who look in vain for them who alas! no onger stand in the ranks of their com 'ades. I, alas! myself, have to grieve over the loss of dear and gallant

Elmira, N. r., Oct. 29.-For the first | time in New York state and in the | home of the democratic candidate fol I governor Theodore Roosevelt was as 1 saulted tonight on the streets on ms | way to the places of meeting lie was 1 in a carriage of eX-Senator Fassett and | at several points along the route was 1 pelted with eggs and vegetables and l greeted with the vilest epithets. He sat in dignified silence while the police looked on quiescently. The campaign club from Corning was also assaulted personally and a bitter fight ensued. In the places of meeting the governor had no Interruptions. After it was over he said: Tt was nasty conduct, the conduct of hoodlums."
 Six men from Corning were badly hurt, being severely cut and bruised. "The fight at Victor" said Secretary Lord of the governors staff, was not half so bad as that here tonight. At Victor no blood was shed, but here blood flowed quite freely"
 Despite this disturbance the demon- stration was the greatest of the kind held in this city in years. Fully 10000 were present.
 At Uticn.
 At Ithaca the governors reception was of a most friendly nature and he paid a pretty compliment to one of the college men, a son of Richard Croker, by refusing to do as he has generally done at other stops, make a personal attack upon the Tammany leader. In his hours speech he did not mention the name of Mr. Croker. At Van Net ten he made a short address
 The governor began with phrase calculated to put all the students in good humor, either democrats or re- publcans He said: q am glad to be with you this afternoon and I want to say on the sixth of November next, I hope to see the republican party win by greater score than you whipped Dartmouth last Saturday, 22 to G."
 After saying this the speaker had to wait for fully five minutes before the tumult ceased and he started it again by saying: q still keep up a serious study of football'
 Answering a local democratic paper that had credited 8 remark about Bryan to him, he said: q never made it and never thought it. Now I hope my democratic friends will not think that is an evasive answer and the audience shouted with laughter. He then talked of the evasiveness of MT. Bryan on the silver question and rdi- culed his trust remedy of free trade as bad for everybody.

PROGRESSIVE PRESCOTT
A Meeting Resolves to Have a New
 High School.

Prescott, Ariz., Aug. 29.-(SpeciaD.- A mass meeting of citizens and tax payers was held at the court house to- night to consider means of raising money for building a new school. A motion that the board be instructed to call a special election to decide the is suance of $50, coo bonds for the immedi- ate construction was unanimously car ried and also a resolution giving the board authority to dispose of the pres ent school property, if thought advis- able. The new building is to be cap able of accommodating all the present and immediate future needs of the dis trict. Professor Billingshurst, late su- perintendent of the DanVille.

Washington, Aug. 29.-A special meeting of the cabine, lasting all GaE and broken only by a short recess for luncheon, marked the intense interest the administration feels in the Chinese problem. IL was the longest cabinet session of the present administration. The diplomatic and n0'c the military phase of the situation in China, was under consideration, and this accOun,- ed for the presence of Acting Secre- tary Adee. an unusual happening at the cabinet meeting.
 NIT. Adea is the medium through which the foreign governments com muEicate and ne has been in receipt of a god many statements recently. Last evening he and the French charge, NJ. Thil tdut. compared the French and American copies of the crg1Gn .ials of Ii Hung Chang. Today he had a long talk with Minister Wu and the Ger man charge, and the substance of the conversation he laid before the cab- met
 It is understood that the cabinet to- day completed the preparations of d plan for clearing away much of the uncertainty that now exists as tO the future in China, and outlined its views in writing. The fac, that the military situatil n is admitted to be of secondary importance confirms the view. though no cabinet officer woid vouchsafe in- formation on this point; what iz sought is an agreement among ',he powers for terminating the indefinite status of af~ fairs in China.
 It is believed a point has been reached whtre it is proper that there should be a clear expression of pur- pose on the part of the principal pow CTS in order that the United States government may know how far it may go consistently in the execution Of common programme. Most of tn ob jects had in view by the prssideat wheu he made answer to the Chinese govern ments appeal and began rhe campaign upon Pekin have been achieved.
 Two others remain to be secured, namely, the safeguarding of American interests for the future and some prop eI guarantee of mnification for expenses of the recent operations and losses of American citizens. Some plan by which the objeCs can be attained by the United States in common with similar objects by the other powers en- gagged in China is though, feasible.
 Incidental to this main purpose sav- cral phases of the problem are at tracting special attention. The suf- licilncy of Lis credentials a. a peace envoy. or. rather, of the ability of the emperor of China to accr5dit any one, is a matter of international considera- tion. The United States must nos only satisfy itself of Ufs competency, but it must convey a solid assurance on that point to convince some of the other powers, the purpose of which. perhaps, would not be best served by a speedy termination of hcstilities in China.

The Prospect Is Roseate-Our Trade Abroad Growing and the Election of Mckinley assured to All Except Capitalists.

New York, Aug. D. (SpeciaL) L)-The stock market is waiting; waiting for absentees to return; waiting for de- velopments in the presidential cam paign: waiting. in fact. for any event that is likely to infuse action or iu- fuence values. A fairly strong under tone prevails and in the absence of un- favOrable developments a more active market may be reasonably expected af- ter awhile. The large operators, how ever, seem disposed to hGlG the market in check until the outcome of ,.he el-c tion Is more of a certainty than now. A great many things can happen be- tween today and the first week in No

Elec- tions are always fruitful in surprises, and there IS no reason t1 expect the coming onr to te ary exception to the rule: and while one may have un- bounded faith in ,h= common sense of the American people in the long run. that does not alter the fact that stock exchange values are susceptible to sharp shocks from sudden outbreaks If public opinion which presidential campaign necessarily develops.
