NO MORE FAILURES EXPECTED.
Financial Atmosphere at Pittsburg
Has Cleared UP.

PITTSBURG, Pa. October 23.-The finan-
cial atmosphere of Pittsburg seems to have
been cleared and no further bank troubles
are looked for
The official announcement made yester-
day by the clearing house association that
81, 500, 600 had been raised; that the fund
would be increased to 100000 to meet
whatever emergencies may arise, and that
SO far as the association could ascertain
none of the banks in the vicinity of Pitts
burg would require assistance. has had the
effect of allaying all uneasiness. In addi-
ton to this emergency fund, SS0O.OOO has
been received by James w. Patterson, pres
ident of the Pittsburg, Carnegie and West
ern railroad. for immediate deposit in an
ticipation of the improvements under con-
struction here for the Wabash railroad. 1t
will be some time before the money will be
needed by the various contractors. but the
bulk of 1t will eventually be paid out in
this district for wages.
The government experts at work upon the
books of the two banks which have suspen-
ded while declining to be quoted specifi-
caly, declare that they have so far found
nothing bad and have heard of no news that
is not reasSuring.

START BACK TO ZION
MANY OF DOWIE'S "ARMY" OEF
TO CHICAGO.
In Service at the Garden He Tells of
the House toulouse
Visits.

NEW YORK, October 23.-At least 40
members of Dowie's army" left today on
special train of five coaches over the
West Shore road for Zion CITY, ILL.,, in
charge of Deacons w. Crane and daueh-
ter, White, Lauder, Ely, Pettinger, Peter
son, Ropp, Stevenson and Funger
According to Deacon Newcombe the
Zonists were bound for Zion because 9TH
ers wished to come to New York
"As many as leave will be replaced by
new recruits" said the deacon.
Many of the party were suffering from
colds brought on by exposure in the work
of house-to-house visitation and the many
changes from the heated atmosphere of
the garden to the piercing air.
While his lieutenants were looking after
the excursonists at Weehawken Dowie
was left almost alone to conduct the early
morning service at the garden.
During his address he said that he had
received about fifty letters during his stay
here, all of which either threatened him
with murder kidnapping Some of them
were signed Committee" He said he was
not afraid. He announced that he expect
ed go more of his followers to arrive here
on Monday, with fresh supply of pro-
visions.
In talking of the visitation work done
here by the host he said that 1900
houses were visited yesterday. Estim;it-
ing that each house contained about eight
persons, he said that 100000 persons had
received the divine message" since his ar
rival.
1t was said that the departing members
of the host had returned 10 Zion city
because so many of the Il ads of depart
ments had left their places there vacant
that the management of th~ city was suf-
fering. Nothing said about feeling
of discoura cement among tsfpse going away
being responsible for them leaving.
Many members of the hest received a
severe shock today when they were in
formed by the railroad companies that
their tickets would have to be used
during the early part of next week. 1t
had been understood, it is said. that all
the tickets were good for two weeks, but
now it is said that most CT them will have
to return several days sooner or lose their
transportation.

TO REMAIN ON THE PACIFIC.
Navy Department Plans Regarding tho
New York Changed,

The Navy Department has changed its
plans regarding the armored cruiser New
York, and instead of coming around to New
York at once that vessel will remain on the
Pacific station for at least a year longer
The New York has been the flagship of the
Pacific squadron ever since her return from
the Philippines, and is now undergoing re-
pairs at the navy yard, Bremerton, Wash.
The original plan was to send her to New
York on the completion Of the repairs now in
progress and attach her to the North At
lantic fleet. but that plan has now been
abandoned in favor of her retention on the
Pacific station for the present
The Pacific squadron, consisting of the
temporary flagship Marblehead and the
Boston. Concord and Wyoming have just
left San Francisco for a cruise along the
Pacific coast as far south as Acapulco 1t
is expected that the repairs to the New
York will be completed by the time the
squadron returns to San Francisco, in which
event that vessel will resume her service as
the flagship of Rear Admiral Glass, the
commander-in-chief The entire squadron
will then make an extended cruise, going to
the Hawaiian Islands and thence back to
the coast of South America as far south as
Valparaiso. Then If all goes well the New
York will be detached from the squadron
and proceed to New York. That action,
however, is contingent upon the availability
of the cruiser Chicago at that time for SerV-
ice as flagship Of the Pacific squadron. The
Chicago is now on the Atlantic station, and
is off the coast of New England where she
assisted In the trials of the battle ship Mis-
souri, and the cruiser Denver She will be
sent to the navy yard. New York, and thor
oughly inspected, and IL her condition justi-
fieS it she will be overhauled and put in
shape for the long cruise around the coast
of South America for service as fla gship of
the Pacific squadron.

STATEMENT BY HANNA
REASONS WHY He SHOULD BE
REELECTED.
He Declares That He Stands for the
Principles Which Bring
Prosperity.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. October Ex-senator
NJ A. Hanna is cut in published state
nent this afternoon setting forth the rea-
sons why he should be returned to the
United States Senate.
He says: 1T is immaterial whether l
personally am returned to the Senate, but
it is matter of the most vital importance
that Ohio be represented in the upper house
by a man who stands for the principles that
have brought this country to it's present de-
velopment and prosperity. They have stood
the test of time and resisted all attacks
threatening their destruction.
= 1t is reasonable to suppose that the peo-
pie of my state desire to have the present
conditions continue. 1t is also reasonable
to suppose that the voters of Ohio have in
tclligence enough to decide their own
interests which conditions are better, those
of 95 to '9I those from IS until the
present time.
Confidence in the future is the founda-
ton of prosperity regards the financial,
commercial and industrial interests. n rad
zeal change, either in principles or PERSONAL
ity at this time, in my opinion, from the
standpoint of a business man, would be
unfortunate. The people care more for
their own material interests than for the
ambition of any man seeking his own po-
Gticdl ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
MY connection with public life has not
been along those lines. Therefore, should
| be the choice of the legislat ture of my
state to represent it in the Senate of the
United States / would feel that it was a
call Of duty and a demand upon me for the
exercise of my beSt.eneTgies and judgement
not only for the interests of the people of
the state of Ohio. but for the whole coun-
try l recognize these responsibilities and
simply await the verdict"
