BANKS ARE SOUND.

Comptroller Eckels Furnishes Some Interesting Figures.

FEW NATIONAL BANKS IIAVE FAILED.

The Lack of Failures in Many Groat Commercial Centers, He Thinks, la Proof That the Hanks Are aa

Stable aa Ever*

AN OFFICIAL 8TATKMKNT,

WASHINGTON, July 29.—Comptroller of the Currency Eclcels has. given out an ofilcial statement to show that recent bank failures have not been so numerous or so serious when compared with th% vast banking interests of the country. He shows that the great bulk of the banking institutions are as stable as ever, and that many of the large cities of the country have not had a single bank failure. The statement is as follows:

Itanka In Trouble Number 105. "Keoent dispatches having appeared In the newspapers to the effeot that since January 1, 1893, 200 national banks have failed, the follow* lug statement has been propared that the publio may be properly informed. Instead of 200 having olosod their doora but 105 have gone into the tymds of the comptroller of the eurrency. Pour* teen of this number have already resumed business under favorable condition* and possessed of the confluence of the communities where located, and during the ensuing week It is expected several others will have oomplied with the requirements of the comptroller and reopened, while prior to September 1 an equal number will resume. "Out of the total of 10G closed but thirty-seven have gone into the hands of receivers, the bat* anee either having reopened or are still in the handa ef examiners, with strong prospeots of reopening. Fiveof the 105are capitalized in the ampunt of II,000,000 each, one at (000,000, six at -FCOO.OJO, thirty-it* at 910,000 and the remainder at 1300,000. ftjoO.OOO, 9100,000 2nd less, but more than 160,000, the greater number, however, being from 9100,000 to (150,000. "By geographical sections the failures are distributed as follows: New England states, two •astern states, iwoi middle states ana Missis* slppl valley states, fifteen: northwostern states, six: western states, fifty southern states, twentv-flve. Totat. 105.

Where There Were No Failures* "It Is to be observed that In twenty-one states and territoriea there have been no failures of national bauks, viz: In Aluska, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Idaho, Indian territory, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massaotiusctts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. "It Is further worthy of note that no national hanks ha^e failed 1n Beston, Brooklyn, Phlla* delphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati, St Louis, New Orleans, San Francisco, Minneapolis, St Paul and numbers of other great commercial centera, and that but one has been closed In New York, two in Chicago and ene in Milwaukee. The cause of the failures in New York and Chioago were due largely to mismanagement, as were numbers ef others. Local scares have caused many of late to suspend. Nine of the ban^s named were robbed by ofllcers who are now under arrest

Authorized to Resume.

"Tho following national banks have been au. thorlsed by the comptroller of the currenoy to resume business: Gate City national hank, Atlanta.

Washington national bank, Spokane Falls, Wash National hank of commerce, Provo City, U. T. First national bank, Cisco, Tex. Missouri national bank, Kansas City, Mo.

A Resume.

••Many more will reopen, as the majority of those recently fulled are absolutely solventnnd only closed through an unwarranted lack of confidence In them, causing disastrous runs. From the foregoing the comptroller makesTHe following resume, showiug that when the full extent of banking in this country is considered the failures are proportionately small: Number now In operation 3,786 Number failed since January 1, I8fl3 105 Number reopenod 14 Number in hands of receivers 33 Number in hands of bank examiners, with application to comptroller for resumption 58

Stocks Go Abroad.

NEW VOHIC, July 29.—It was said Friday that the higher prices for American stocks in London confirmod the news published that New York capitalists had combined with other interests to buy stocks here and carry them abroad It is said that a conservative estimate of the stocks to be shipped to Europe to-day is between 50,000 and 60.000 shares. A broker said: "Everybody admits stocks to be cheap here, while iu London there is a plethora of money. It is therefore simple enough to buy stocks here and carry them abroad. The market has turned. London is ready to carry all the stocks that we want to send over there. With stocks going out and gold coming in there is very little doubt as to the main movement of prices."

Importations of Gold.

Interest in Wall street Friday was largely centered on the reports of gold importations. The clearing house committee met Friday and after the session it was learned that an additional issue of $2,150,000 loan certificates had been authorized. It was authoritatively stated that the issue of certificates was directly connected with importations of gold.

Praying When the Trap Fell. DALLAS, Tex., July 29.—Ilunry Milled (colored) waa hanged here Friday for the murder of Policeman Drewer. On the gallows he said: "I bid you all good-by, hoping we will meet in Heaven. If anybody has anything against me please say to and I will drop on my knees and beg bis pardon." As the trap waa sprung Miller was praying. Hiv neok was broken and he died without a struggle.

ITS STRENGTH SHOWN.

A Crucial Weak Rereala the Soundness of tha llualnesa World—Review of the Commercial Situation—Imports of Gold Commence.

NEW YORK, July 89.—R. O. Dun & Co.'s review of trade says: "Tha hardest week yet has left the business world still able to rejoice in the soundness and strength dlsolosed. No banks here or at other eastern cities and no eastern firms of lurgc importance have gone down, but several banka failed at the west But through all luo strain the banks of Now York have passed without trouble, and Imports of gold have commenced. "From 91,000,000 to 18,000,000 in money hu? been sent west every day and a large decrease In bank reserves is expected, as the treasury has not been disbursing heavily. Chicago has drawn heavily on New York, but in that and other oities bank statements Indicate creditable soundness. "Grain rose briskly on Monday, but all speculative markets yielded a little when tight money came and the slaughter of stocks. Wheat closed a^ut 1 cent lower, though western receipts were moderate. Corn is a fraction lower, as are some hog products. Cotton has deollned an eighth, though receipts are a little larger an]} «*porte smaller than last year, but holders show great stubbornness in view of the large stocks la sight and the closing of many mills. In othftr products no special change Is reported, though prices tend lower. "Many wollen factories are closing for a month or more or indefinitely, because orders are slaok, for while Jobbers'orders are about as usual olothlers still hold off. Fall trade is sala to he nqt more than a third of the usual, and many dealers expect to do no more than half the usual sprlnf business. Orders for boots and shoes are restricted. Shipments from the east are 12 per cent less than for the same week last year. "In Chicago wheat is at the lowest price ever known, jobbing trade is fair.and retail very satisfactory. At Milwaukee trade is contracting. Jobbers at St Paul are conservative, but average crops are expected. Omaha reports quiet trade, and Sioux City good crop prospects. Jobbing trade is quiet at Kansas City. "Failures during the last week number 380 in the United States, against 171 last year and 23 in Canada, against 98 last year. It In note, worthy that only three failures were of capital above (800,000 each and enly ninety-nine of capital over 95,000. Over fifty banks stopped during the week."

DEATH IN tHE FLAMES.

Two Llv.. Lost and Several Persons Injured During a Fire at Pittsburgh. PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 29.—Two persons are dead and several others seriously injured as the result of a fire on the south side at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. Tho deafl are Maggie Mitchell, aged 18 years, and Joseph Hussell, aged 25years. Injured: Charles McDonald, probably fatally burned: unknown peddler, very dangerously burned. The fire was caused by an explosion of stove polish, which the peddler was using on the stove. The liquid exploded and scattered tho contents all over the room.

ANOTHER OPEN SUNDAY.

Pending the Settlement of the Cllngman Cue the Council of Administration of the Worlds'* Fair Prefer, to Be Safe from the Courts' Interference.

CHICAGO, July 29.—The council of administration has ordered that the gates of the world's fair be opened on Sunday. The action was taken at Friday afternoon's meeting of the executive body »t the exposition. The question of the advisability of keeping the gates closed in spite of Judge Stein's order was thoroughly discussed, and it was finally decided that it would be better to open the gates until the case had been disposed of in the courts. The case in Judge Stein's court, where the officials have been cited to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt in disobe3'ing the injunction restraining them from closing the fair Sundays came up Friday. Counsel for Mr. Clingraan not being ready a further hearing was set for Monday. Commissioner Massey said in regard to the latest Sunday order: "The members of the council of administration do nol want to go to jail for contempt of court. Neither do thoy want to make a bitter flght mors Mtter. The postponement ot tha oase left ua with but two things to do. We could obey the directory order and keep the fair closed or obey the court's order and open It. As the disobedience of the erder of tho court would be followed by a punishment the council thought discretion th. better part of valor and obeyed the order.'

RELIEF FOR UNEMPLOYED/

Denver Feeding the Idle Workmen—Hundreds Leave the City. DENVER, Col., July 29.—Camp Relief at River Front park is in perfect working order and over 1,000 of the unemployed were fed on Friday. Tents were erected capable of sheltering 800 or more persons, and they ar. being used to lodge part of the indigent. During the day about 600 men were taken out of the city by the different traius. At one time the scenes at the union yards in East Denver and in the vicinity of Fortieth street were quite exciting. Here was gathered an immense crowd waiting for the outgoing trains, and when one of them came along a scramble would be made to get aboard. The train officials, knowing how hard it would be to keep them off, gracefully submitted and in this way about 000 persons left town. Before leaving the crowd entered many of the neighboring bakeries and stores and asked for food. No threats were made, but they got nearly all thev wanted. Passing milk wagons also contributed to the needy, but no serious trouble ensued.

Cabinet Ministers I^vlrieutly in Karnest Consultation—Slam Continues to Make l*v«»ry KflTort Toward Preserving the Peace.

KNOLAND TO BK UEADV.

LONDON, July 29.—It may be lumping it conclusions to say that England has begun preparations for war with France, but a series of events on Friday points strongly in that direction. Here is the outline of what has transpired: News came late last night from Bangkok that France had begun a blockade of the whole Siamese coast without giving Great Britain official notice. The terms of the blockade included cutting off all commercial trade by ships of every nationality. "8tr«\rs Show," Ktc.

Lord Rosebery, on receipt of the news, sent a high officer of tho foreign office to Paris with dispatches which he was instructed to place personally in Lord Dufferin's hands. The secretary of the Chinese legation was summoned to the foreign office and a long conferencc followed with Lord Roberts. The minister of war was in Glasgow, where the freedom of the city was to be presented to him with much ceremony. He was summoned to London, arriving on a special train Friday night Mr. Gladstone canceled an accepted invitation to spend three days in the country and held a consultation wilh his colleagues of tho cabinet. Lord Kimborly, of the cabinet, and others of the privy council were sent on a special train to Osborne for consultation with her majesty. The duke of Cambridge, the veteran commander in chief of the army, whose duties are so nominal as to require only an occasional call to headquarters, was hard at work at his office in tho horse guards headquarters. Lord Rosebe^- was under an engagement to deliver an important address in the city during the afternoon. He sent word that it would be impossible for him to leave the foreign office building. There was the greatest activity both in the war and admiralty departments till long after the usual hour of closing.

Diplomatic Itelatlous Strained* Rumors were rife among members of parliament that Lord Dufferin would within a few hours demand his passports from the French government It is no longer doubted at Westminster that diplomatic relations between the two countries are at great tension and that the gravest events portend.

A Paris correspondent telegraphs that there is really little hope that the government will yield any essential point to English intervention and public feeling is still so strong that such a course would mean the political ruin of anyone supporting jt. There is not, however, entire harmony in the cabinet President Carnot will have groat difficulty in executing any policy.

China Also fmll(?nauL.

China, it is now definitely known, has notified France that she claims the territory between the tweniy-flrst and twenty-third degrees of latitude, which is part of what is demanded of Siam.

Thluks Peace Can B. Preserved. BANGKOK, July 29.— The Siamese government continues making every effort to maintain peace with France, and is encouraged by the events of the last two days to believe that an understanding will be reached shortly. The French flag has been hoisted at Koh-Si-Chang. The anxiety as to the outoome of the trouble continues. French gunboats crossed the bar outward from the Meuam river Thursday night They will rendezvous with the other vessels of the Indo-China squadron under Admiral llumann off the island of Koh Chang, near the head of the Gulf of Siam. Trade is at a standstill. There arc no merchant vessels in the river. lluSHla to Kemain Neutral.

PARIS, July 29.—Admiral llumann has made no report to tho government yet on the blockade. The cabii.ct will meet again on Tuesday to decide on what fresh measures may be necessary. The press and the public are beginning to realize that it is useless to expect Russia to assist France in grabbing Siam. The Soir, which formerly threatened England with a Russian alliance, now admits that France can only hope for the czar's neutrality.

WINE CONSUMED BY FIRE.

A Loss of 9800,000 Caused by Flames In a Parla Suburb. PARIS, July 29.—A fire broke out at 4 o'clock Friday morning in Bercy, a suburb to the southeast of Paris on the right bank of the River Seine. Despite the efforts of the firemen the flames spread, and in a comparatively short time thirty houses were burning. The fire was near the wine docks. The wind was blowing in a direction that carried the flames and large masses of burning material across the intervening space and soon the wine docks were ablaze. An immense quantity of wine was stored on the docks and every effort was made to save as much of it as possible. Many casks were rolled boyond the reach of the fire, while others were thrown into the river. The fire burned so fiercely, however, that the firemen and salvers were soon driven from the lower ends of the docks, and their efforts were theu directed to staying the further progress of the conflagration. Ten thousand casks and 500 hogsheads of wine wore consumed. The IOSB is placed at $S00,000.

SILVER MEN CONFER.

Laying Plans for the Big Convention at Chicago.

DELEGATES OUTLINE A POLICY.

Free Coinage Will Be Insisted Upon— They Hope That an Acceptable Substitute for the Sherman Law

Will Be Enacted.

F0RMUI.ATK DEMANDS.

CHICAGO, July 29.—Silver men from the west held a conference Friday evening with the local advocates of free silver at the headquarters in the Grand Pacific hotel. The leaders of the delegation are: Willis Sweet and J. 11. Farney, of Idaho W. M. Chambers, of Washington, and C. W. Sweet, of Cheyenne, Wyo. They declined to say what they will ask at the hands of the convention, explaining that It is a massmeeting without distinctive representation until formally organized, and that any indication of contemplated action would be premature and unauthorized.

Western State United-

It is understood, however, that tho men from Colorado, Montana. Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and the Dakotas, with possibly those from Nebraska, will unite upon a distinct line of policy to be urged for action by the special session of congress. They will offer resolutions declaring that the demonetization of silver in 1673 was a crime against a producing element of the nation and Its product that while the Sherman law was not satisfactory to the silver people, and was not supported by their representatives, it was aocepted as the best legislation attainable at the time that its unconditional repeal would b. a blow at tho mining IndustrUs of tho west, which could be excused on no other ground than a desire to encourage the robberies of Wall street and the money lenders generally.

Will Ask for Free Coinage. They will ask that In addition to restoring silver to a monetary basis free coinage shall be declared, and there shall be a distinct enactment establish' Ing the bimctallic standard of gold and silver.

Tho silver men are not sanguine of getting all they will ask for, but they are serenely confident in asserting that the Sherman law will not bo repealed without the enactment of a substitute for it which will leave acceptable silver legislation on the statute books.

Expected to Have Weight,

The delegates do not desire to express personal views as to what action the convention should take, but it is known that they are in communication with a large number of senators and representatives, and the belief is expressed that the attitude of the convention will have weight in determining results in con gross.

Each day brings letters from promi•nent western men stating their intentions to attend the convention. Those who are already on the ground are working hard to make it a suocess, and are sending all the information they can secure to their friends in the stiver Btatea.
