Talk Gently of the Banks.

A run on the Amsterdam Savings
bank of Amsterdam, n. Y, was caused
by a Polish laborer, who, finding the
bank closed on election day, took it for
granted that it had failed. About $780,
600 was withdrawn. The bank has a
large surplus.
1t was in Maryville, I believe, in this
state, that run on bank occurred
from peculiar cause. Some improve
ments were being made on the bank
building. the effect being to raise the
entrance The end man Of a, strolling
minstrel show ventured the funnyiSm,

Another case in this state: An old
lady fell on the sidewalk in front of a
bank. A crowd gathered to help her
and some observer at a distance re-
marked in a loud voice, 'There seems
to be some trouble at the bank" This
was enough.

STEAMER LOUISE is SAFE.
rible Experience ON Lake Erie
with All on Board.

Sandusky, o., Sept. 9.-The fishing
tug Louise, which 1t was feared had gone
down with over 100 passengers in the big
storm on Lake Erie Monday, arrived here
safely early Tuesday from bennington,
Ont. The Louise started from here fo1
bennington early Monday morning, car
rying the Star baseball club of this city
and 100 excursionists. Rough weather
was encountered just outside the harbor,
but Capt. Hugh Declute decided not to
turn back. The boat plowed through
seas that had her decks awash half the
time, and everybody on board was sick.
bennington was finally reached at noon.
At six o'clock the party started on the
return trip In even rougher sea than
was encountered on the way over. After
a terrific struggle with the waves, the
Louise got into the lee of Pelee island,
where she lay several hours. Then she
started across the lake for Sandusky in
a more moderate wind, but still heavy
sea. She arrived here at four o'clock
Tuesday morning with everybody safe
but sick.
ut was the worst blow in my expert
ence," said Capt. Declute, land I have
been a rough-weather sailor for the past
20 years"
Scores of the friends and relatives OF
those on board the little vessel remained
on the docks all night in the greatest
anxiety.

OBJECT TO A CHANGE.
Fiscal Policy of Joseph Chamberlain
Denounced by British Trades
Unl0nists.

Leicester, England. Sept 9.-At Tues
days session Of the Trades Union con-
gress President Hornidge declared
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's sug-
gested changes in the British fiscal policy
we're likely to be most detrimental to the
best interests Of the nation.
'Dabbling with the principles Of free
trade" he asserted, could do no good to
the country at present. The land laws,
said the president, caused two-thirds Of
the national misery. He advocated gov
eminent old-age pensions.
The following resolution was carried
with only two dissenting votes:
THAT this congress strongly con-
dennis the suggested change by Mr..
Chamberlain in our present fiscal policy
as most mischievous and dangerous to
the best interest Of the people Of the
country and hereby pledges itself and
urges all other labor bodies to make
every effort to prevent such change
being brought about"
The announcement Of the vote was
greeted with loud cheers. The resolution
will be communicated to the colonial
secretary.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS
Weather Conditions for Past Week
Have Been Favorable.
Drought in the South Has Retarded
Growth-Early Corn Matur-
ing Rapidly.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop COM
ditions is as follows:
The weather conditions Of the week
ending September z were generally fa-
vorable in the lake region and from
the upper Mississippi and Missouri val
leys westward to the Rocky noun
tains, in New York and New England,
portions Of the middle Atlantic states
and In Florida, but in the Ohio and
lower Mississippi valleys and gener-
ally throughout the southern states
drought has prevailed, in some Sec
lions becoming serious, retarding
growth and maturity and causing con-
siderable injury to crops. Rain Is
needed in Oklahoma and the southern
plateau region.
Early corn is maturing rapidly, some
fields being safe from frost, and cutting
is progressing in southern and central
sections of the corn belt. Late corn
has advanced satisfactorily generally
in the great corn states, except Iowa,
and under favorable conditions the
bulk of the crop will be safe in two OF
three weeks. In Iowa 1t is maturing
slowly, and the crop needs rain in Kan
sas, Arkansas, southern Missouri and
the states of the upper Ohio valley.
Spring wheat harvest is nearly COM
pleted in the northern Rocky mountain
states and thrashing is general Rains
have again delayed stacking and
thrashing in North Dakota, and this
work has been somewhat retarded by
damp grain in shock in South Dakota,
and by cloudy and damp weather in
southern Minnesota, which has cadsed
damage to wheat in shock and stack.
Complaints of rust and shedding are
general throughout the cotton belt, and
as a result the condition of cotton has
deteriorated during the past week.
Prospects for an average crop Of app
pies are reported from portions of New
England, the middle Atlantic states,
Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma; a light
crop is promised in Missouri, and less
than the average in New York, al
though the fruit is of good quality in
the last named state.

Omcial ver.ion Of Anair.

Omcial Version of Affair.
Constantinople, Sept. GA consular
dispatch from Beirut, received at one Of
the embassies here, states that a fierce
brawl occurred there Monday between
parties Of Mussulmans and Christians.
It was due to shot fred by a Mussul-
man upon a Christian employed at the
American college, The Christian was
wounded.
The fight broke out while the vail was
on board the United States cruiser
Brooklyn returning Admiral Cotton's
visit. In diplomatic circles here, the af-
fair is regarded as being serious and a
renewal Of the disturbances is feared.
An official version of the Beirut affair
,telegraphed later to the Ottoman am
'bassador abroad for communication to
the powers says that Christians were the
assailants, they having fired upon four
Mussulmans. A fight ensued during
which Mussulmans and Christians came
to the assistance oftheir respective COM
patriots. This. says the report, COM
PEELED the troops to intervene and they
succeeded In restoring order. Three SOL
diers were wounded and one was killed,
while one Christian was killed and one
wounded.
These figures evidently are incorrect,
as the rioters must have lost more heav-
lily than the military.
The British consul at Beirut imme-
diately after the riot called upon the vail
and threatened to ask Rear Admiral Cot
ton to land marines from the American
squadron in the event Of the renewal Of
the disturbances.
In official circles here the disturbances
are attributed to the arrival of the Amer
lean squadron. and the belief is ex-
pressed that the Christians at Beirut are
endeavoring to bring about the landing
of marines from the warships.
