WALKERTON INDEPENDENT “ *—~ ~~~ • = — WU.KKBTON, . . . INDIANA EVERYTHING SERENE, PRESIDENT AND HIS CABINET AGREE UPON FINANCE. Treasury Notes Will Be Redeemed in Gold —Bonds for 850,000,000 Hay Be Issued— Many Crushed to Heath in a Neapolitan Church. Will Stick to Gold. In an interview concerning the financial situation, President Cleveland said: “The inclination on the part of the public to accept newspaper reports concerning the intention of those charged with the management of our national finan es seems to justify my emphatic contradiction of the statement that the redemption < f any kind of Treasury notes except in gold has at any time been determined upon or contemplated by the Sec etary of the Treasury or any other member of the present administration.

Ihe President and his cabinet are absolutely harmonious in the detorminati< n to exercise every power conferred upon them to maintain the public credit, to keep up the public faith, and to preserve the parity between gold and silver, ami between all financial obligations of the government. Whin-”’-law of ISIW forotaw ”>■■ e Os a nx. d /imount <>f stiver every month provides that the Secretory of' the Treas|ury, in his discretion, may redeem in •either gold or silver the treasury notes given in payment of silver purchases, yet the declaration of the policy of the government to maintain the parity between the two metals seems so clearly to regulate this discretion as to dicate their redemption in gold. Os coutse, perplexities and difficulties have grown out of an unfortuna'-e financial policy which -we found in vogue, 'and ■embarrassments have arisen from illadvised financial legislation confronting us at every turn, but with cheerful confidence among the people, and a patriotic disposition to co-operate, threatened danger w.ll be averted, pending a legislative return to a better and sounder financial plan. The strong credit dt the country, still unimpaired, and the good sense of our people, which has never toiled in time of need, are at hand to save us from disaster.” Deal h ill a Panic. A Fatal panic occurred at the Church of Torre Annunziata, in Naples. During the services, which were attended by a very large number of persons, part of the draperies about the altar was blown against a lighted candle. The flames spread with great rapidity, and the congregation made a rush for the doors. Eight women and five children were crushed to death, while hundreds of others were more or less injured. The fire was quickly extinguished. The Hawaiian Situation. Reports from Hawaii say that matters are approaching a dangerous condition. The royalists are declared to be growing bolder because of the weakness of the provisional government, and a conflict is expected in the near future. Nearly a hundred of the provisional government’s soldiers were poisoned recently, and the royalists are charged with attempting to put them out of the way in order to execute a coup. NEWS NUGGETS,

It' looked at one time as if the entire town would be wiped out and help was asked of Detroit. The engines from Detroit did not reach there in time to be of service. The losses aggregate between $50,000 and $60,000. The origin of the fire is believed to have been incendiary. At Lansing, Mich., Bank Commissioner Sherwood says the Central Michigan Savings Bank is entirely solvent and that there is no possibility of the depositors losing a dollar. The public confidence in Cashier Bradley is so great that a movement is well under way to increase the bank's capital from $6-5,000 to $200,000 and either reorganize the present bank or organize a m w one, continuing him as cashier. There is but little doubt that this scheme will carry. If not at this time it is at least practically assured that the present bank will resume business. Guests of the Great Northern Hotel at ( hicago witnessed a remarkable feat unintentionally a ’complished by a fellow guest Friday. The name of the guest was Edward G. Siemens, of New Orleans, and the feat accomplished con- • sisted of walking through a quarterinch thick plate glass door. The guest was hastily proceeding to a cigar stand adjoining the lobby of the hotel, preparatory to starting for one of the railroad depots. The plate glass WHS brilliantly elear, and. Mr. Siemens passed through without a thought of danger.

Hayes, with the peak of its foresail set, sailed down Lake Michigan towards the : Straits of Mackinac ail Friday.

The steamer was rounded to and came alongside the schooner, when the crew was taken off one by one by i means of lines. The woman cook did not dare trust herself to crawling over a line, and so she was directed to tie a ; rope around her body. One end of the ; rope was held by strong hands on the steamer.

Wheat has fallen 2% cents, with sales of 40,000,000 bushels, corn 2^ cents, oil 2^ cents, and coffee 1% cents. Wheat re- • ceipts have been 2,290,000 at Western ports in four days, and Atlantic exports not 600,000 bushels. Pork products are somewhat lower, though declining less than corn. In the cotton market liquidation Ihas continued, and, with sales of 1,200,000 bales here, the price has drdpped five-sixteenths. The week’s receipts from plantations are fully i up to last year’s, and Southern advices generally indicate some Increase this year in acreage. Reports from other cities show { extensive embarrassment from severe stc ms and the backward spring, with some signs of shrinkage in trade from other causes. The tardy spring makes clothing quiet and the advance in shoes retards buying. The building trade Is active and the demand for lumber large, but sales of wool are moderate. Iron is some vhat weakcr.but the glasstrade Is active. Money i is active and close everywhere. Chains His Daughter to the Floor.

The house Ic w< s bui.. o ''•'•^'cfnfioiiarv enened with non bands, yet swept into Ihe roaring waters like an eggsheb and washed ashoie. For a mile or two the shore of the lake was strewn with timte.s, boards, tools and artic.es of clothing worn by the men in the ill-fated crib. At daybreak the men at the pumping station noticed that the house on the crib ha 1 disa; peared, and the tug Welcome took a life r oat with a crew of five in tow and headed for the tunnel. The progress of the Welcome was watched by thousands of people. When Capt. Petersen succeeded in reaching the crib he was met by a horrible sight. One n an, James Miller, was still alive and clinging to a post. About him were the bodies of two or three of his comrades. Miller was safely brought ashore, and told a story of peril and.suffering which has rarely been equaled on the lakes. Fifteen men were on the crib. Tho lal e had been very rough, tbe men on land had not I eon able to get out to them, the provisions gave out, and the doomed men ate tneir last meal thinking that certainly before nightfall the ; boat would be able to reach them. In the evening the storm increased and the men became alarmed. They had confiden e in the strength of their house, however, a.d confined their work. It was not until about 8 o’clock that the men fully appreciated their po- , sition. Work was stopped a d the men, i one and all, determined to seek safety !in the air shaft. The big cast-iron I cover was raised and the fifteen men descenued into the tub, clinging as best they could to the ladder. There out in the lake in the midst of , she furious gale they listened to the storm outside and h ard the waves beat against their refuge and literally tear their shelter apart. Bu' they knew they were safe. The water could not get Into toe shaft, and under the eircumstances they could live there for many hours. The steady click of the automatic pump soring air and life into their subteranean prison cheered them to further efforts to save their lives. So the hours sped on. All through that fearful night the men hung to the j ladder and heard 11 ■. wav es which every second were smashing and pounding and tearing at the little house on top. Piece by piece and part by part the cribhouse was washed away, and at six o’clock the air pump, the mainstay ot the imprisoned men, was washed away. They did not hear it co, but its loss was plainly made known to them by the 1 slo^r but steady rise of the water in the tube and the increasing foulness of , the atmosphere.
