Milwaukee, May 15.—For the first time in many years Milwaukee has experienced a run on. one of its banks. Before the doors of the Plankinton bank opened a crowd of 300 people gathered about the entrance and, from the moment the bank opened until it closed in the afternoon the tellers were kept busy paying out money. Saving depositors were refused their money under the rule requiring thirty days' notice before withdrawal of funds. At noon tne run was virtually over and confidence began to resume sway once more. The distrust of

lustice Field.
Following is a synopsis of Justice Gray’s remarks, in announcing the
judgment of the court:
The power of this notion to restrict or prohibit the tmmtg ration of any aliens into the country, or to require such aliens already in the country to remove herefrom, was a well-settled principle of International law and was confirmed by an unbroken line of decisions In this

The most conspicuous incident in connection with the run was the arrival of about SI00,01)0 in an express safe from
Chicago. The money was unloaded at latlons they should be required to leave tha

Sub-ide of a Jealous Aetor at LembergDead Before the Footlights, Vienna, May 11.—The theater at Lemberg, the capital of Austrian Galicia, was the scene Tuesday night of a most tragic occurrence.

In the company vy^as an actress of whom Dalezuk vTas deeply enamored, and it was generally supposed his love was reciprocated. During the progress of the play Dalezuk detected his sweetheart flirting with a man who occupied one of the stalls. He upbraided the girl, but she treated the matter lightly. He waHted close to the footlights and without a word lulled
himself.

Lexington, Mich., May 11 —Tuesday night a party of six young men were I spearing fish in the lake about a quar- I ter of a mile from shore.

MAY WRIGHT KEWALL. announced tho inauguration of the world's congresses, the large hall was completely filled. Behind the president sat the officers of the auxiliary and delegations of American and foreign visitors. When tiie notables had settled themselves into seats President Bonney rapped for order and called on Prof. Swing. He delivered a short invocation, and as he stood before the vast audience a hush fell on the hall. After the brief prayer President Bonney formally opened the series of congresses with uu address. After a brief but eloquent introduction Mr. Bonney sketched the history of the world's congress movement from the date of the organization of the auxiliary, October 30, 1S90, and said the scheme had been received with almost universal approval throughout the world. He paid tributes of respect to tlie memory of James G. Blaine, Cardinal Manning, Lord Tennyson, John Groenleaf Whittier, Prof, Emile de Lavelcye, of Belgium, George William Curtis, Bishop Phillips Brooks aud others, who, before their lamented deaths, had expressed deep interest in the world's congresses. The objects of tho world’s congress auxiliary recounted by Mr. Bonney are: To sum Hie progress of mankind in every de- 1 partment of enlightened achievement, to review the actual results of that progress, to note the lesson it teaches and the defects and difficulties that still remain; to state in clear, concise and yet comprehensive terms the important unBolved problems of our time; to put indefinite form Ihe living questions of the day which yet demand answers from living men; to suggest in brief but lucid terms the means by which obstacles may be overcome, difficulties removed, defects supplied and further progress made: to bring all tho departments of human progress Into harmonious relations in a great intellectual and moral expositioa In closing Mr. Bonney called to order the first congress. This was the congress of representative women. In introducing Sirs. Palmer, president of this congress, Mr. Bonney said it was fitting that women should inaugurate conferences of progress, for theirs had been the greatest progress during the nineteenth century. Woman's advancement was that of man. Her success denoted tho substitution of love for
force.
In icplying to the introduction Mrs. Palmer made a short speech. She said the brilliant women of the world had undertaken long journeys in order to focus in the present congress the best thought of the nineteenth century. The conference, she said, would result in benefit to all and would be a crowning achievement for the sex. In the name of Chicago and the world’s fair she bade the delegates welcome. Mrs. Palmer’s address was pleasant, and heartily received. She was followed by Mrs. Charles A. Henrotin, vice president of the congress, and Mrs. May Wright Sewall. The evening session was called to order at a few minutes past 8 o’clock. Mrs. Henrotin presided, and there were probably 2,000 spectators present. Mrs. Potter Palmer suceacded Mrs. Henrotin and introduced Mrs. Florence Fenwick Miller, of England, a distinguished mem 1st of the Woman’s Franchise association. Besides Mrs. Miller these ladies addressed the congress, tendering hearty cooperation: Mrs. June Cobden Unwin, England; Frau Prof. Elizabet Kaselowsky. Germany; Mme. Isabel Bogelot, France; Mrs. Margaret Windeyer, New South Wales; Mme. Mario Martin, France; Frau Augusta Foster, Germany; Baroness Thorborg Bappe, Sweden; Mine. Callirhoe, Greece; Josefa Ilumfalzeman, Bohemia; Fraulein Kuethe Schirmaeher, Germany; Kirstine Frederiksen, Denmark; Mrs. John Harvie, Canada; Mrs. Hulda Dundinand Mrs. Sigrid Storkenfeld, of Sweden; and Judge Foster, Mrs. F. H. Maitland Dougall, D. Augusta Stowe Gullen aud Mrs. Kelly, of Canada. MINE GAS EXPLOSION. A Disaster at Lincoln, III., in Which Onn Man Was Killed anil Throe Injured. Lincoln, 111., May 10.—About 11 o'clock Sunday night an explosion of mine gas occurred in the mine of tho Lincoln Coal company, and by it one man was killed and three injured. Michael Gleason, Mark Lyons and Henry Wilmoth entered the mine in charge of Joseph Pago, night boss, to close worked-out rooms. One of the men entered a room which had not been frequented for some time. His non-safety lamp here ignited tbe gas, producing a tremendous explosion.
Assistant Cashier Moody, who went to in substance that the act of 1892 was C hicago to secure the funds, was so unconstitutional and that if it were upwrought up by the importance of his imld there was no guaranty that similar
duty that when tlie money in his charge was safely in the bank he fell in a faint. From a statement made by the cashier to the directors Friday night the bank had in its vaults Saturday morning money belonging to it and other
treatment might not be accorded to other classes of our population than the
Chinese.
Justice Field, who delivered tha opinion of the supreme court in the first ca.-,e under the exclusion act, also
banks to the amount of $000,000. One read a dissenting opinion. He held. 1
hundred thousand dollars was received during the day from Chicago and at a meeting of the clearing house Saturday afternoon it was decided to take $200,000 of the bank’s paper guaranteed by the directors. This gives the bank $900,000 that is in its vaults. During the day less than $70,000 was paid out to depositors ami it was stated by the bank officials that this had been met by new deposits received during the day. The scene in the bank was very interesting. Depositors were crowded against the counters, all endeavoring to get in first, and prominent men in banking and business circles were delivering short speeches assuring them of the safety of the bank and their money. Among those who spoke ts the crowd were Gov. Peck, Frank Bigelow. cashier of the First national bank, and Frederick T. I >ay, president of the
Plankinton hank.
Duluth, Minn., May 15. — Gill & Wright, proprietors of the Duluth roller mills, have assigned to F. W. Paine, cashier of the Security bank. The failure may be attributed to the recent deal in May wheat at Chicago. The firm had spread out considerably .and was in no condition to stand the squeeze. The assets are variously estimated, according to the valuation placed upon the mill property, from $75,000 to $120,000. Liabilities, $07,000. Chicago, May 15.—President Zimri Dwiggins of the collapsed Columbia bank views without any great eon cern the reports from Washington that he may be indicted by the treasury department for peculiar methods of financiering. The report was to the effect that "irregularities” were discovered in the bank's method of doing business, and that these "irregularities” constituted ample grounds for an indictment against the president. The amount of money involved in these transactions is said to be as much as $100,000 or $500,000. Indianapolis, Ind., May 10.—The panicky feeling caused by the suspension of so many banks throughout the state is passingaway. It is possible that there are a few more of the country bunks that may have to close their doors, but the feeling is that the worst is over. The many suspensions have not caused more than a ripple of excitement among the old line bankers. Money lias tightened up a little, but the best financiers say there is no ground whatever for the indiscriminate talk of the danger of a panic. Indianapolis bankers express the belief that tlie suspension of this Dwiggins and Paris line of banks will result in good. The state authorities, they say, ought never to have permitted such banks to do business, and the belief is that in the future such banks will be watched
with more eare.
There have been in all ten failures of banks in the state as a result of the failure of the Columbia national of Chicago. First reports of sixteen failures were unfounded. It is announced by John W. Paris and J. Shannon Nane, of this city, that the four banks in which they are interested will reopen within a few days. The Orleans hank has been disposed •of to Orleans capitalists ami will, it is announced, resume business to-day. The syndicate announces that it has completed ar
that there was a wide difference between exclusion of immigrants and the deportation of alien residents, and he characterized the act in the strongest language as inhuman and brutal, and us violative of the constitution in every section. He regretted to say that tlia decision of the court was, to his mind, fraught with the gravest dangers to the priceless constitutional libertia's of the
people.
Chief Justice Fuller also dissented
from the opinion of the court.
After the court had concluded the announcement of opinions, Mr. J. Hubley Ashton, of counsel for the Chinese, moved for a rehearing of the case and un argument before a full bench at tlie
next term.
The court took a short recess to con* eider the motion of J. Hubley Ashtoc. for a rehearing of the cases before ( full bench at the next term of court. After the recess the court denied tha motion for a rehearing, so the opinion stands as announced. Washington, May 10.—Tho decision of the supreme court of the United States declaring the Geary anti-Chinese act constitutional has caused great excitement in official circles autl much consternation elsewhere. There was a hope that this law would receive the condemnation of the highest legal tribunal, but it appears that it must staud. The administration is now faced with an order from congress directing that unless all Chinese laborers be registered before May 5—one year from the approval of the act—they shall be deported from the United States unless such laborer can prove accident, sickness or other unavoidable cause. Congress appropriated $100,000 for carrying the Geary law into effect. Its preliminary work of arranging for the registration of Chinese, including an extra force of internal revenue officials to supervise the registration, has already cost in the neighborhood of $75,000. This leaves but $25,090 to deport those who fail, neglect or refuse to register. The president suspended the operation of the law pending au appeal to the supreme court, and this will add a few days’ grace, it is thought, to tho order for registration. It is perfectly apparent to the president and all the officers of the government that the Chinese cannot be sent out of the United States unless some provision is made to pay their passage back to China. There is no money available for such a purpose other than tho sum specifically set aside by congress, and this is to all intents and purposes exhausted. Should the Chinese combine and refuse to register now, which is probably what they will do under the advice of counsel, no steamship company will carry them away unless their passage is prepaid or a sufficient guarantee given by the United States gov-
ernment.
Outside of this confusion which is already bothering the administration stands in striking prominence the fact that it will require over $0,000,000 to deport the Chinese now in the United States should they refuse to obey the Geary law and that so far as all practical purposes are concerned there is scarcely a dollar to do it with. In view of all these
rangements for the reopening of the j circumstances it is probable that tlie
other batiks in its extensive string. It is also stated that some of the banks operated by Dwiggins and Starbuck of the Columbia national will be reopened
during the week.
