CIRCULATION WAS GOOD.
Money Went the Rounds nj
Lively Gait.


New York, Aug. 24.-The cash returns
OF the New York associated hanks last
week were largely affected by what NAV
| characterized as extraordinary move
ments, not only through subtreasury
| operations, but through the interior
| transfers OF money. Early in the week
the subtreasury paid $1,5OO.OOO and
later $45O,OOO for assay office checks
representing Australian and Yukon gold
which had been deposited at Pacific
coast assay Offices Disbursements for
pensions were large, amounting To
$2,O9l, 900, and bond payments were
$IS,5Ol. These various items made n
total of 81 ,119,501. The extraordinary
receipts by the subtreasury we're 81, 100
OOO, which amount was deposited by
the banks for transfer to the interior
S3OO,OOO to New Orleans and $500, 600
to Chicago. Deducting these receipts
from the Disbursements above leaves
S3,O94, ,5O1. 1t should be noted. how
ever, that the payments for Australian
gold probably counted in the bank aver
ages for only four days, while the re-
celpts from the banks for the interior
counties counted for but two DAYS of the
week.
The interior movement of money so
lar as was traceable resulted in a gain
to the banks of 81 PAS, ia, and, deduct
Ing the loss to the treasury of $162 900
as above, there was an apparent gain i'm
the weeks movement of 81 ,O83, 900.
Toward the end of the week however.
there was an urgent demand for Phila-
delphia funds, which caused the ship
ment to that city of various amounts
OF currency, various estimates being
from $1,50O,00O to $3,OOO,OOO il
either OF these sums OF money was sent
to Philadelphia, it follows that the ap-
parent weeks gain on the weeks move
ment was wiped out. 1t should be OBJ
served, however, that the cash sent to
Philadelphia will doubtless be promptly
returned when payments shall have been
made for the bonds for which the money
was required.
1t appears quite probable that the
movement OF cash to Philadelphia was
really below the minimum amount esti-
mated. The loans of the banks we're in
creased by $3,O27 100 which sum may
be regarded as fair, considering the dis
position OF bank managers generally to
curtail discounts as much as possible
owing to the need for money for the
crop movement. The deposits were aug
mented $3,520, 400, which very closely
cOrrespOnded with the total of the gain
IN loans and in cash, hence the statement
was harmonious in this respect. The
surplus reserve was reduced by the COM
Daratively small amount of $273, 800 to
SIS, 14S, 100. Borrowers would not need,
it would seem, to be under apprehension
regarding the supply Of money for all
legitimate objects, though doubtless
tenders will seek to convey the impress
sion that because the inquiry for crop
purposes has apparently actively begun,
rates for IOanable funds should rule
higher.
On Monday OF the current week the
treasury will receive $1,OOO.O0O 4 per
cent bonds, the delivery OF which has
been contracted for, and there will prob
ably be considerable sums OF money
paid during the week on assay office
checks representing Yukon gold depos-
tied at San Francisco.

FRANCE AND TURKEY,
French Minister Leaves the Turk
ish Capital.

Paris, Aug. PA semiofficial note
has been issued announcing that the
porte, having not carried out his under
taklngs with regard to the disputed
questions between the French and Otto
man governments, NJ. COnstans, the
French ambassador, acting under in
structlons from the foreign minister
OF France, left ConstantinOple August
26, the date named in his last communi-
cation to the porte on the subject. An
arrangement had been effected August
IL, and it's terms drafted by the Otto
man foreign minister, with the approval
OF the sultan, who had promised NJ
COnstans that the text should be handed
to him August IS.
M. Constans telegraphed to Paris
August 10 that none of the promisez
had been fulfilled, and NJ. Del Casse,
minister of foreign affairs, August 2i
telegraphed M. COnstans that in view of
so hagrant disregard of the under
taklngs the negotiations could no longer
be continued, and requested NJ. Constans
TO inform the porte that he had received
orders to leave COnstantinople. On
August 23 Nj. COnstans communicated
with the porte, fixing August 26 as the
date for his departure, and as the en-
gagements were still unkept NJ. Constans
lett ConstantinOple August 26.
With the departure of NJ. Constans the
relations between France and Turkey
may be regarded as broken off. Munir
Bey, the Turkish minister to France,
who is in Switzerland, has been tele-
graphed not to return to Paris.
The current affairs of the two embas-
sizes can be carried on by the charge
d,affaires, but all negotiations of a poll
tlcal nature will be entirely suspended
until the sultan yields to the French de-
mands.

New Mills Contracted For.
SAY STEEL MEN ARE GAINING.
Issue a Def to the AmaIgamated
Association.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 27.-Practically
the only significant event in the strike
today was the positive stand taken by
the American Tin Plate company in ref
erence to its course in the future An
official statement from this company to-
day denies that there is any negotiations
on foot looking to a settlement of the
strike and authorized the statement
that mills put into operation during the
strike would be continued nonunion and
all men going to work will be retained
in their positions. This statement will
have it's effect because of the fact that
the tin plate trade has always been con-
sidered as among the strongholds OF the
Amalgamated association, and the def
appears to have been brought about by
the association declaring strike against
the tin plate company after the scale
for the year had been signed. Notwith-
standing the fact that the Amalgamated

But Both Sides Still Claim the
Victory,

Victory.
Pittsbur2 Pa, Aug 26.-The reported
peace negotiations for the settlement of
the strike through the mediation of dis
interested parties-officials and members
OF the National Civic federation-received
jolt when President Shaffer of the
Anal gamated association tonight de-
clared absolutely that he had no official
knowledge OF such proceedings and that
If such a move had been started it did
not have the official sanction of the
organization.
Nevertheless, the subject will not down
and tonight it is said the cOnciliatOry
committee OF the civic federation, already
prominent IN the matter, is fully pre-
pared to carry on negotiations and will,
II necessary, endeavOr to secure the good
offices OF Archbishop Ireland, Bishop
Potter, Daniel Hanna and Seth Low,
cOmembers OF their organization, to give
such prominence to the committee that
the proposal will be received by the steel
corporation.
In the meantime both sides to the con-
troversy make claims of victorg. The
steel people point to the gains they have
made along the line of securing men and
starting plants, while the Amalgamated
officials say that, instead of losing
ground, the association is gaining
every day, and that while the combine
has succeeded in starting a few plants
they are not turning out merchantable
material and are losing money and
breaking valuable machinery and in the
end will have to ask their old men to
come to the rescue.
The steel people ridicule the claims OF
the association and point to the failure
to induce the South Chicago and Du-
quesne men to go on strike as evidence
that the strength OF the Amalgamated
association has departed.
The surprise of the day was the Painter
plant, which has six mills running. Not
striker could be found anywhere near
the mill.

Charleston. July 29.-At the meet
ing of the board of directors of the
exposition company tonight Mr.. D. a.
Tomplins, the we'll known cotton mill
builder and expert of Charlotte, n.
c.. was elected superintendent ard
manager of the textile exhibit at the
South Carolina Interstate and West
Indian exposition at Charleston.
Mr. Tompkins came to this city a
week or two ago at the invitation OF
the exposition management and made
a thorough examination of the condi-
tions here. He was impressed with
the great Importance of the undertak-
ing to the commercial and industrial
interests of the south, and after con-
sidering the subject concluded to ac-
cept the service which the board has
asked him to perform. By his agree
ment, Mr. Tompkins will undertake
to procure and cause to be installed
the exhi bits for the cotton place. and in
order to accomplish this work be will
be compelled to use good part of his
engineering and commercial force and
some outside help and there is &c
doubt that the textile exhibit at
Charleston Will be the largest. the

hensive that has ever been made in

Monticello, Fla, July 2s.-Simon
Williams, condemned to death for the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Hawkins
and sentenced to hang August s, made
a dash for liberty at l 80 o'clock
this afternoon. Deputy Sheriff R. H
Fitzpatrick with trusty had gone to
the death cell to give Williams dinner.
Williams having secretly removed the
shackles from his ankles with cold
chisel furnished by unknown means,
dashed out upon the officer: siezed
his pistol and ordered him to get in
the cage. The officer sprang on the
murderer and tussle ensued in which
the Office was shot. Both fell down
the stairway and rolled into the yard
when the deputy wrenched the pistol
away. Williams ran to the gate of the
stockade but could not get over. He
then turned like demon upon the
deputy who shot him in the chest.
Williams ran to another gate which
was opened and dasted into the street.
The deputy followed, shooting. Al
ter chase of one hundred yards Will
liams fell dead Officer Fitzpatrick re-
ceived wound in the groin, the ball
passing between the bone and the
femora artery. He is yet alive.

RAINS IN TIRE WEST.

Kansas City. July 27.-General
rains which have fallen over the great
part of western Missouri and Kansas
in the rast "a hours have given this
portion of the southwest temporary
relief from the drought. Reports re-
ceived at the railroad headquarters in
dicate that the rains fell in the west
ern half of Missouri and in nearly
all parts of Kansas with the exception
of a few northwestern counties. The
fall was heaviest between Kansas City
and Maple Hill, Kas. In some places
in eastern Kansas, the fall measured
2 1-2 inches. Good rains are also re-
ported along the Memphis railroad,
as far south as Arkansas and as far
east as the Mississippi river. Rain
fell at different points all day today
and is still coming down tonight.
Frederick Wellhouse, the largest ap-
pie grower in Kansas is authority for
the statement that apples in that State
will make almost a full crop. Peaches
and grapes and late varieties OF fruit
will make an average crop, it is be-
lieved, if conditions continue favor
able. Oats and potatoes in Kansas at
least were beyond help TWO weeks be-
