ENGLISH FINANCES.

To help along the demonstration
of silver in the United States and
Germany, the Indian council in Lon
don ordered the closing of the minis
in India, to which the people had
been wont, in time of stress, to carry
their boarded silver and silver orna-
ments and have them coined into ru-
PEGS. A famine followed and hun
dreds Of thousands of the people died
of starvation because they could no
longer convert their silver into ru-
PEGS to buy food.
But of late years India has been
producing vast amounts of cotton and
wheat which has been sent TO Eng
land. to pay for which England has
been forced to ship back immense
sums of gold.
For three years past Mr. Moreton
Frewen has been pointing out the
danger OF this and the remedy. but

VALLEY BANK. DOORS CLOSE.
 .INDEF FINITELY.
Anticipated Manner of Business And Archaic Methods Are Causes On Which Closing Is Blamed-Many Securities
Midnight Discussions Reached No Decision on Manner In Which Bank May Reopen - -S500,000 Place on Feet.

PHOENIX. Nov. lO.-Conferences between the officials of the Valley Bank and local fnanciers who have beer requested to come to the aid of the institution were still being held at midnight. Those credited with being closely in touch with the sit uation are not optimistic. however pumors that the doors of the bank would not open this morning had been current for the preceding twen- ty-four hours SO the surprise and con sternation which otherwise would have been expressed did not develop.
 A typewriter notice posted in the window of the institution was the on ly notification to depositors that business has been suspended indefn- itely. The liabilities of the bank are placed at nearly $2,OOO.OOO divided substantially into the following terms: commercial accounts, S70O,OOO; say ing deposits. S4OO,O00; time deposits, S4OO,OOO and the balance of s5OO,OOO is riade up of various banking liabili- ties
 It is said here tonight by men best informed concerning the situation that S50O,000 in cash would be re- ouired 70 enable the institution to re- sume business on 8 conservatice 1 working basis.
 Efforts being made tonight center on the attitude of the directors to- ward a proposal that they shall guar antee with adequate security the as- sets of the bank at their face value There Is littlehope. however of the directors acceding to this proposition and in fact. the early resumption of | business is not expected.
 The report is current that banking | interests in Prescott, Bisbee. Douglas. ] Tucson and other localities are less inclined to extend assistance than would be the case if the officers and directors of the Valley Bank showed a disposition 10 make such sacrifices as the situation warrants.
 Governor Hunt was called into the conference which was held until an early hour this morning before final decision was made to close the bank He failed utterly to throw any light on the solution and withdrew after a consultation with Auditor Callaghan who was another of the conferres.
 Loans on securities which are not readily negotiable and archaic bank ling methods are held responsible fol the present plight of the institution It can be stated emphaucally that nc other banking institution in Phoeni' will take over the affairs of the Val ley Bank with a view to liQuidatinl
 the assets and providing for a resumI ton of business. It is believed tha
 the closing of the bank will have noticeable effect on the commercial ? situation in Phoenix.

WASHINGTON Nov Secretary Daniels has ordered the division of operations of the navy department to get into communication as quickly as possibly with the cruisers North Car olina and Tennessee to learn if one of them has met with mishap as ru- mored during the day Rumors were current that the North Carolina was blown up by a mine at Beirut, but so far as was discovered all reports originated in the United States.
 Secretary Daniels and other navy officials said they do not feel the slightest apprehension for the safety of either vessel, but thought it ad yisable to allay any alarm by getting definite advices The officials pointed out while communication with Fur key is slow they are in touch with Constautinople and Beirut from which points any accidents would have been promptly reported Similarly, British ships near Turkey would report Co the British admiralty

INDIAN FORCES DO GOOD WAR SERVICE.

LONDON, Nov. 1O.-Indian forces in France made good but achieved none of tle extraordinary feats attributed them, according to a statement of the official Press bureau written by "an ob.erver with the Indian corps.
 The account emphasizes the diff entities under which Indians are fight inc because of their ignorance of French, English and German The Germans repeatedly played tricks on them. Germans are full of resources and it is one of their favorite plans to ertice the allied troops into at- tacking them by various devices. An irtention to surrender is often indi- cnted and when the allies advance to receive the surrender concealed ma chine gun1re is often turned on them.

YAQUIS FIRE
 BIB GUNS ON
 HILL TROOPS
Three Real Exchanges of Shots In Yeesterday's Program, But Stage of Battling Not Reached Artillery Much Better.
Heavy Explosions When Mines Are Set 0ff-BattIe Expected This Morning - Maytorena Will Notify U. s. Troops.

On several occasions yesterday there was firing from the Hill trench es and from the attacking Maytorena forces at Naco. But at no time dur ing the day did the firing or the off ensive or defensive assume the alti- tude Of importance of battle Snip ing, with vigorous replies. seemed the chief occupation of the facing MeXicans and Indians.
 Al S:O5 there was an active fusilade The Hin men on the western defense of the city seemed to do most of the shooting. though there were replies from the Maytorena men. whom it is believed had snaked in close to the city to try their rifles on the search light with which Hill is constantly covering the ground outside his de- lenses. There were few bullets crossed the line to the American side and none of them caused any damage
 The first time the Maytorena artill- cry had been used also came yester day Toward evening, some of the Hin men, according to a report from Maytorena's camp, started a reconnoi- tering journey from their trenches. They were seen some distance from the city and twelve shots from the field artillery were fired in their di- rtctiou. The shots did no harm, but they showed that the Maytorena gun ners know how to use their new piec- es. and will do deadly work when they start using them in earnest Two or the shells fired yesterday struck in the city. The others burst in the air near their target.
 At S:45 o'clock there was a small amount of firing, which was immedi ately followed by the explosion of several mines Three Of the mines were of the ten case variety, loaded with ten cases of dynamite and the shocks were terrific. There was nc known damage resulting from the eX Ulosions.
 That there will be no attack on the city before late this morning is prac tcallv assured. General Maytoren' has notified the commander of th' American border patrol that befor' any eneral attack is started by him self he will send word across the boI der. Up to a late hour this morning no word was received from the Yaqu leader. and 1t is thought he will liy up 10 the message which offered th the sign of good faith to the Amer cans.
 However. there also obtains a be lief in Naco that the start of the al tulery attack on Naco Sonora, vii be heralded this morning, when tn guns which are placed in direct line ou tbo two sides of the city, will b opened against the trenches, the wa CT lower. and the chief buildings tbe city. This belief is attached the few shots SO far fired from th field pieces. and the good range whic inc pieces showed last evening.
 The statement of the Hil agen that the mine discharged at the fi' lnlometer camp Monday had kille nfy-odd men and three officers WI N disproved yesterday. Maytorena sel word to the American side that had exploded the mine by driyiI oxen onto it. and that none were iured He further asked how H
