war. SCATTER MONEY.

WASHINGTON, June 23.—Secretary Carlisle has directed Treasurer Morgan to anticipate th« pnyment of the July interest on the 4 per cent. United States bonds and on the Pacific railroad bonds. The total interest on both sets of bonds aggregates $7,534,000, of which tl,900,000 is for tlie Pacific railroad bonds and $5,034,000 for the 4 per cent, bonds. The action of Secretary Carlisle is taken to relieve the tightness in the money centers. lie has decided that payment may be made an fast as delivery of the checks can be effected, and the treasurer oHhe UnitedStates and the several assistant treasurers have been notified accordingly. Holders of 4 per cent, coupons due July 1 may therefore now present them for payment without rebate and owners of the checks for July Interest may have them cashcd as soon as received.

Money Sent to San Francisco. Extensive shipments of money by telegraph from New York to San Francisco were made Thursday by direction of United States Treasurer Morgan. The bank failures on the Pacific coast evidently spurred the banks to increase their supply of ready money to meet any emergency that may arise. This money is transferred in a simple manner. A bank in San Francisco telegraphs its New York correspondent to place in the subtreastiry at New York a given Bum of money to its credit to be sent the San Francisco bank. The subtreasurcr at New York telegraphs the subtrcasurer at San Francisco to credit the bank with the given amount of money. The San Francisco bank thus saves the express charges and the government, which receives gold for the money it transfers by telegraph, builds up its gold. It is a mutual arrangement by which both the banks and the government are benefited.

California* Dank Troubles.

Los ANGELES, Cal., June S3.—Everything was quiet and peaceful in banking circles Thursday. There was but a slight run on the Los Angeles national bank. The line of depositors was greater than that of withdrawers. It was quiet at all other banks. Confidence has been restored and a good many people who withdrew funds have redeposited. All the banks have received large sums of money and even the six closed banks received some. It is expected that all the banks will resume business eventually, except the City bank, which is now in the hands of a receiver.

SAX FRANCISCO, June 23.—The finan eial expression is responsible for the fact that the First national bank and the Commercial bank of Santa Anna, the Peoples' bank of Pomona, and the Citizen's bank of Ontario failed to open their doors on Thursday. At San Diego the Bank of Commerce closed its doors, leaving but one bank—the new Merchant's national—open in that city.

Tea aud Coffee Dealers Fall. NEW YOIIK. June 23.—Henry Sheldon & Co., coffee and tea commission merchants and dealers, failed Thursday afternoon. The law firm of Taylor & Parker has been put in charge of the house and will endeavor as soon as possible to settle with the many creditors. The firm was one of the best-known coffee houses on the street, and has done a large business. They are highly rated in the commercial agencies, and the resources are between $200,000 and $300,000. The failure is due' to the stringency in the money market. Like a good many other business houses, they felt the need of more ready cash than was available.

Socks Heavy Damages. ..

NEW YORK, June 23.—Mr. J. J. Frank, attorney in this city for the liank of Commerce of Chicago, says it is about to bring suit against the American Hanker of this city to recover $100,000 damages for alleged libel. The American Banker in its last issue, June 17, printed under the heading "Closed and Liquidated Banks," the name of the Bank of Commerce of Chicago. The bank telegraphed its attorney to bring the suit immediately, and he is preparing the papers. He will bring the action in the United States circuit court.

Ronton Contractor. 'Assign. BOSTON, June 23.—Creesy & Noyes, contractors and builders, and Benning C. Noyes & Co., furniture manufactur ers, have made an assignment. Mr Creesy is president of the Little Kanawha Lumber company, which lately went into the hands of a re ceiver, and the assignment of the two above mentioned firms is due to their being involved as indorsers on the paper of that company.

Failure of a Michigan Bank. GKEENVILI.E, Mich., June 23.—The City national bank suspended payment Thursday morning and George B. Caldwell, bank examiner, took possession. The failure is due to a run, $52,000 having been drawn within three weeks, and the inability of the bank officers to negotiate loans, although they had giltedged securities. An examination shows deposits of $210,000 and assets of $312, 000.

Ex-Secretary Foster's Affairs. FOSTORIA, O., June 33.—Creditors ex-Secretary Charles Foster are rapidly signing an agreement to settle at fifty cents on the dollar. The Fostoria Light & Power company, one of Mr. Foster' companies, is found to be in better con dition than at first reported, and it is altogether likely that its affairs will very soon be taken out of the hands of the assignee.

Cholera Increasing in Virulence at Mecca —One Hundred and Eighty deaths Reported in a Single Day—Reassuring Reports from Russia.

LONDON, June 28.—A dispatch from Alexandria says that there were ISO cholera deaths among the Mecca pil grims Wednesday. At Toulon there were three deaths Wednesday, making 100 since January. The authorities have appointed a commission to thoroughly examine the sanitation of the port, parts of which are notoriously unhealthy. A telegram from St. Petersburg confirms the previous reassuring news that the latest Russian official returns indicate that the disease is slowly declining in the provinces which were ravaged "last year. In Bessarabia there were only ten cases and three deaths in three days, at Podalia nineteen cases and four deaths, at Kursk five cases and one death, in the town of Orel nine cases and three deaths. There are no other ca worthy of mention.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 22.—Cholera is decreasing rapidly throughout Russia. In Bessarabia, Podolia, Kursk and Orel only an occasional death and a few fresh cases are now reported.

Distinction Paid to the Higher Rank Our Representative Now Enjoys. LONDON, June 23.—Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, the first American ambassador to Great Britain, proceeded at m. from London to Winsdor Castle, where he presented his credentials from the American government to the queen. In accordance with the nsual custom that exists in the case of ambassadors a state carriage was furnished by the British government to convey Mr. Bayard from his hotel in London to a railway station. Upon his arrival at the station lie was received by Gen. Sir Christopher Teesdale, master of ceremonies, by whom lie was conducted to a special salon carriage in waiting and in which he traveled to Windsor. A state carriage awaited his coming at the Windsor station, and Mr. Bayard, who was accompanied by his wife, entered it and was driven to tho castle where, after the usual formalities, he presented to her majesty the letters appointing him as the representative of the Unitod States at the court of Sk. James. Lord Rosebery, minister of foreign affairs, traveled on the train with Ambassador Bayard and introduced the latter to the queen. Mrs. Bayard wore a costume of light gray, and after Mr. Bayard had presented his credentials she was presented to her majesty.

Kugenla

lleuecly Starts tlie Flow of tlie MetaL

IT 18 CART.

TROT, N. Y., June23.—At 6:15 Thursday evening Miss fiugenia P. Meneely, daughter of Clinton II. Meneely, let loose a flood ot metal at her father's foundry which, when cool, will be the liberty bell of this century. And the molten mass that flowed at her command was composed of patriotic material, implements of warfare, material the most historic interest, swords that have been used in battle, metal identified with every progress in invention and science, remembrances and love gifts.

Mrs. Cleveland Couldn't Aot. The time for the casting was set for o'clock in the afternoon, bi)t owing to the damp atmosphere the furnace did not draw well and it was 8:25 when the boiling metal bubbled over the top of the mold. -It was originally intended that Mrs. Cleveland would touch a button at Gray Gables, whereby the electrical apparatus at the foundry would be set in motion releasing the metal from the furnace, but Mrs. Cleveland was in poor health and could not venture out in the stormy north and east gale which prevailed at Buzzard's Bay.

How It Was Done.

The mold of the bell was not visible prior to the casting, but was imbedded in the earth just in front of the furnace. Tlie core was placed in first, the outer case containing the inscription and dates being placed in after, and all the joints hermetically sealed. When the committee arrived at the foundry all they could see was the great furnace filled with 13,000 pounds of molten metal melted by the use of coal furnished freo by the state of Pennsylvania. Then there was a small hole in the earth just in front of the furnace, and into this the molten metal, sparkling and looking like a snake of fire, found entrance, until, when the mold was full, the fiery mass began to spread out over the ground. Then the flow was stopped and Mr. Meneely announced that tho bell was cast For three hours it will have to stay in the earth so as to allow it to cool off sufficiently to handle. When it is cool enough it will be polished and will then be ready for transportation. The cost of the bell delivered in Chicago will be $S,500. It will be rung for the first time in that city.

The Bell's Mission.

The bell is to be placed in the world's exhibition at Chicago. At the close of the exhibition it is intended that -it shall be sent throughout the world as a missionary of freedom. It is suggested that it may be sent to Jerusalem to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the birth of Christ and also to the next world's exhibition, which is expected to take place in Paris during the year 1000. It is proposed that the bell shall ring at each sunrise and sunset at 9 o'clock .in the morning on the anniversaries of days marking great events in the world's progress toward liberty at 12 o'clock on the birthdays of the "Creators of Liberty," and at 4 o'clock it will toll on the anniversaries of their deaths* H. Walter Webb, third vice president of the Central-Hudson railroad, has placed at the disposal of the committee in charge a special car for the transportation of the bell to Chicago. Exercises will be held by the

Daughters of the American Revolution at Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland and other plates along the line.

Its Patriotic Make Up.

[The idea of casting the Columbian liberty bell originated with M. O. McDowell, of Newark, N. J. A committee was organized with members from every state and territory and several foreign countries, Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution, and tho Lyceum League of Amcrlca. Be* skies fragments of old guns, revolutionary relics, silver coins, candlesticks, etc., there are 250,000 bronze pennies contributed by school children fused into the bell metal. Mr. Roger A. Pryor, of New York, sent two bullets which mot in midair during a battle of the Into rebellion. One eame from the rebel lines and the other .was from a "Yank's" rifle. The concussion caused the lead to assume to assume the shape of the let* ter U- There is also a bit of Washington's old surveying chain, a lock from Jefferson's musliet and nails taken from the flooring of the room In which «he wrote the text of tho deolaratlon of independence. Every? state contributed some cherished memorial. A former slave of Jefferson Davis sent the keys of his old master's mansion. There are also some old Romai coins In tho fusion. The total wclghi of the Columbian bell iB 18,000 pounds or about ten times the weight of the old llborty bell. The inscriptions upon it are: new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another "Proclaim liberty through' out all the land, unto all the inhabitants theieof/1 and 'Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good will to men."]

FAILED TO INDICT.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report

Grand Jurors Neglect Their Duty at Decatur, 111.

NO BILLS AGAINST BUSH'S LYNCHERS.

'Judge Vail, After Censuring Them, Orders Them to Remain at Their Fosta Until Some Action

I. Taken.

SURPRISE.

DECATUR, 111., June 23.—The grand jury in the Sam Bush lynching case made a report in the circuit court Thursday afternoon, failing to bring indictments against the leaders or anybody connected with the killing of the negro. Foreman Faris then said the jury had completed its work and expected to be discharged.

Censured the Jury.

To this Judge Vail took exception. With much earnestness he said: Gentlemen, when this court convened I went out of my way somewhat In tho Instructions as to what your duty was In regard to tho murder thai VUR committed In this county. That Is, 1 departed fropi my usual custom In defining your duty In that case. You have Ignored those Instructions. 1 will now read the oath which you took."

Turning to the statute he read the paragraph referring to the duties of grand jurors, who swear that they will carefully investigate all infractions of the law brought to their notice and return indictments. Then the judge said:

Now, gentlemen, you can return to your room and obey your oaths, and remember that the clroult court ot Macon county is not a plaything. Pass out to vour room."

The jury returned to the supervisors' room to reflect on what the court had said and determine what they would do.

His Action Commended.

The action of Judge Vail is generally commended. The jury had investigated thte case for a week, and it was stated that twenty-five or thirty persons would be indictcd. But when it came to arising vote on the question of finding a true bill against anybody only ten votes out- of twenty-three could be securcd. Once the vote was 16 to 8 against an indictment. It is not known how long the judge can keep the jury out, but they will probably not make any further headway in the case, and will meet from day to day and adjourn until the court is convinced that no bill can be found. The judge is reticent as to what action he will take when the present jury is discharged. He may order a new jury to look into the oase.

Tha Jury Threatened.

Evidence was given before the grand Jury that C. D. Britten, W. H. Vest and Thomas Atterberry were the leaders of the mob, and the coroner's jury recommended that they be held to await tlie action of the grand jury. It is stated that threats were made that if the grand jury or State's Attorney Mills or anybody else made trouble for the lynchers somebody would get hurt, and it was further threatened that If any man was arrested for hanging Bush and put in jail that man would be set free if the prison had to be torn down stone by stone.
