THE CURRENCY DEMAND.
The Large Banks of the Country Re.
sponded Readily to Secretary
Bhaw'A Suggestion.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The large
banks OF the country have respond
ed readily to the secretary's sug-
gestion for the relief of any money
stringency that may result from the
movement of the crops, and have
agreed to take $15,OOOOOO additional
circulation. Four Chicago banks are
to take one-third Of that amount.
The banks Of New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Cincin-
natl will take the other two-thirds,
or $1o,OOO,OO0. Secretary Shaw does
not believe there is any real fnan.
cial stringency affecting credits.
With the enormous crops this year
the demand for currency In Septem-
Der will no doubt be greater than
usual. Secretary Shaw hopes to In
troduce an element Of elasticity into
the present system by this method.
He sees a wide difference between
q currency stringency and a neces-
sity for relief to the financial condi-
ton by Strengthening credit. He be-
heves that the increased demand for
currency in one or two months of the
year to meet an emergency can DO
met better by the banks than by the
treasury.

Washington, Aug. SO.-Acting
President Foulks, OF the civil serv-
ice commission has addressed COM
munication to all the executive de-
partments in regard to the part Of
ficeholders may take in politics.
Attention is called to an order is
sued by President Cleveland, July
IA, 1886, containing the following:
"The influence Of federal office.
holders should not be felt in the
manipulation of political primary
meetings and nominating conven-
tons. The use by these officials Of
their positions to compass their Sc
lection Of delegates to political
conventions is indecent and unfair,
and proper regard for the proprie-
ties and requirements of official
place will also prevent their assum-
ing the active conduct of political
campaigns
The communication states that
this order has never been repealed,
but has been declared by President
Roosevelt to be still In force.

WRECKED BY A TORNADO.
Three Persons Killed, Four Fatally In
iursd and Thirty. Four Hurt by Train
Being Blown Down an Embark ment

Owatonna, Mimi, Sept. 1.-The
wreck on the Chicago e. Northwest
ern road, five miles west of here Sat-
urday night, probably was the worst
that has happened in this section Of
the state. Three are dead, four are
fatally injured and "a others received
injuries, some of them Of a serious
character Investigation shows that
the storm which wrought such dam
age to the train was but 100 feet in
width. From all reports it is evident
that the engine escaped the fury
of the tornado by but few feet,
for 1t remained standing on the
track, while the six coaches in the
train were picked up as if they were
feathers and rolled over and down
the steep embankment. Four of the
coaches caught the full fury of the
storm and were carried much fur
Their than were the other two. In
these four coaches occurred all the
deaths and the majority of the in
juries.
The storm destroyed the grain
stacks of Thomas Rake, upon whose
farm the wreck occurred then
passed directly between his house
and barn, leaving them unframed.
1t then passed northwest through
Medford, town on the Milwaukee
road, where number Of barns were
demolished and several houses and
other buildings overturned.

Pump Houae Blown Up.
SIDED WITH STRIKERS.


Parkersburg, W. Va, Sept. IAN
unexpected situation has resulted
fyom the ordering out of the national
guard to preserve order in the coal
fields. The soldiers, whose sympathy
was all with the strikers from the
first, have used their influence with
the men who are at work and have
persuaded so many Of them to Join
in the strike that the detachment
stationed at Rush Run had to be re-
called and sent to another point to
keep 1t from emptying the mine.
Hundreds Of families were sleep.
ing last night under the skies. II Is
estimated that over 1000 families
have been evicted In the New River
valley and most of them had no
place to go. Some had friends and
secured shelter, but the majority are
homeless, without even so much as
a tent to shelter them, and there Is
talk of a subscription to buy tents
for them. Food is scarce with them
and the condition of the men Is pitt
able 1t the extreme. Some OF the
soldiers have even shs 4 .i,lr food
provided by the state with the fam
lilies of the men who are IN the strike
and hungry.
