COUNTING UP THE VOTE.
The Army Bill, So Far, Has 101
Votes ana the Opposition 113.
Second Ballots Necessary in 181 Dis
tricts—The Government Counting
on Securing a Majority for the Bill
By Means of a Conservative, Free
Conservative and National Liberal
Cartel.
Berlin, June 18.—The election returns
were virtually complete at 3 o'clock this
afternoon. The rejiort one dis
trict was then lacking. The revision of
the returns may necessitate a few alter
ations, but they will be trivial. The can
didates elected number 314. Of these
101 will vote for the next army bill and
113 against it.
In the following list by parties the anti-
Semite Conservatives are included with
the conservatives and the independents
are treated as members of the parties
with which they affiliate in the Reich
stag:
Liberal clericals 68
Social democrats 29
Conservatives and agrarians 44
National liberals 18
Radical unionists who favor the bill 4
Poles 12
Froe conservatives 10
Clericils favorable to the bill 11
Alsatians 7
South German democrats 4
Anti-Semites! two of them favoring the bill; 3
Bavarian agrarians 2
Guelphs 1
Danes 1
Bavarian separatists 1
SECOND BALLOf CANDIDATES.
Among the candidates in 181 new bal
lots tliere will be 10 Poles, 53 conserva
tives, 9 agrarians, 7 free conservatives, 73
national liberals. 30 clericals, 77 social
democrats, 11 radical unionists, 85 RL. -
terists, 16 anti-Semite and 8 Guelphs.
As was expected, the latest returns
have increased steadily the list of mem
bers upon whom the government can rely
for support.
While the victories of the social demo
crats have been regarded with alarm,
their immediate effect upon the fate of
the army bill will be more than offset by
the losses by the Richter radicals.
After four hours in conference yester
day afternoon the ministers, who had met
the chancellor to discuss the results of
the election, decided, that in view of the
recent returns, it would be superfluous
and inexpedient to issue an appeal to the
country before the second ballots next
Friday. Several ministers are confident
that by means of a conservative, free con
servative and national liberal cartel they
can secure a large number of seats at the
second ballots from the Richterists and
clericals. If these expectations bo real
ized, not only will the government open
the Reichstag with almost half the mem
bers on its side, but also will be enabled
at the final poll to keep the social demo
crats down to a total of forty or forty-live
scats.
ACTION or Tire CLERICALS.
That the ministerial expectations of a
general combination against the socialists
are not entirely ungrounded is shown
by the action of the clerical leaders. Im
mediately after the election they sent out
a circular letter to the constituencies to
admonish Catholic voters that under no
circumstances should they vote for the
army bill candidates in the bye-elections.
Since then the socialists’ scare has be
come so general that the leaders have re
voked their first letter and hove sent out
another calculated to solidify the Cath
olic vote against the democratic candi
dates in cases where such a course will
lead to the election of a conservative or
national liberal.
The Germania, the organ of the North
German clericals, and several other Cath
olic dailies are now urging Catholics in
constituencies contested by the social
democrats to ignore the army bill issue
and vote solidly for the conservatives,
froe conservatives or national liberals.
Where socialistic successes are in ques
tion, says the Germania, the Catholic
voter must subordinate all other duties to
the duty of doing his best to prevent
them. Danger of more social democratic
triumphs must be obviated at any cost.
Speculators on the bourse took a san
guine view of the government’s prospects
in the second ballots. Imperial and Prus
sian stocks, which weakened on Friday,
were strong yesterday upon reports that
the government would have a small ma
jority at the opening of the Reichstag.
Semi-official information that the chan
cellor would abandon his latest proposals
for taxes on bourse operations and spirit
uous liquors, helped strengthen prioes.
FATE OF CONSPICUOUS CANDIDATES.
Official returns from many constituen
cies have been received, and will be pub
lished to-morrow. They contain much in
teresting information as to the votes
polled by conspicuous candidates.
Count Herbert Bismarck, who was
elected by the agrarians in the Jorichow
district, received 11,669 votes to 0,848 cast
for Ferdinand Woellmer (radical), who
was the last member for the district.
Gloeke, the social democratic candidate,
received 4,341 votes. Count Herbert's
majority over all, therefore, was 480. He
polled the full strength of the conserva
tive vote, which, on the first ballot in 1890
was 11,182. The radical vote in 1890 was
9,564, and the socialist vote 3,487.
THE BILL WILL BE PASSED.
London, June 19, 2 a. m.—The Berlin
correspondent of the Daily News says:
“There cannot be the slightest doubt that
the army bill will be passed with a good
majority.” The Standard’s Berlin cor
respondent expresses the same opinion,
somewhat less emphatically.
SUICIDE FOLLOWS SHORTAGE.
An Employe of Detroit’s Water
Works Office Shoots Himself.
Detroit, Mich., June 18.—This morning
H. T. James, an employe of the water of
fice, whose accounts are short $1,500 shot
himself through the head, dying in
stantly. Yesterday afternoon it was dis
covered by experts who were looking over
the books of the water commis
sion that almost $7,000 had been
taken by A. T. McLogan, H. T. James, M.
F. Cruener, A. W. Goodsell and August
Ken sal, collectors. McLogan, whose
stealings amounted to over &4..000. is out
of the city, and no one knows where. It
is said that the stealing has been going
on for several years. The water com
missioner has not yet decided whether to
prosecute the detainers or not.
Solvent, Though Closed.
Cleveland, 0., June 18.—The Lake
County Bank at Painesville, 0., which
was forced to suspend last week because
of a run, was solvent. The statement
shows that the assets were $450,090 and
the liabilities $350,000.

PEACE HAS BEEN PROCLAIMED.
Fredericksburg Anxious to Entertain
the Army of the Potomac.
Washington, June 18.—Maj. Witliam
Howard Mills of this city has received a
letter from Mayor A. P. Rowe of Fred
ericksburg, Va., extending an invitation
to the Society of the Army of the Poto
mac to hold their annual reunion for 1894
in that city. The meeting this year will
be held in Boston on June 27 and 28.
The city council of Fredericks
burg unanimously passed a resolution
promising the society of the Potomac a
fraternal welcome and asking them to
come “and once again pitch their tents on
the old camp grounds and in imagina
tion live over the war times.”
This invitation is said to be the result
of a speech delivered by Maj. Mills on
Juno 3 in the Fredericksburg cemetery on
confederate memorial day. Maj. Mills
believes that the invitation will be ac
cepted, and that such a large numbor of
ex-soldiers representing both sides in the
conflict will be present that it will be nec
essary to ask congress to pass a resolu
tion authorizing the quartermaster gen
eral to loan the society of the Potomac
the 400 wall tents recently used by the
Grand Army of the Republic, thus
enabling many of the blue and gray to re
pose side by Bide under the same blank
ets. as they did immediately after Appo
mattox.
TWO LEVEES GIVE WAY.
One Above and One Below New Or
leans-Great Damage a Certainty.
New Orleans, Juno 18. —About 7 o’clock
to-night two breaks occurred on tlie east
bank of the Mississippi river—one above
and the other below the city. . The former,
from present indications, will prove as
disastrous as the famous Nita crevasse.
Tt is about forty-seven miles above New
Orleans, directly in front of the St. Pe
tersburg settlement. About six feet of
the levee gave, way to the pressure of the
waters at the first instance. An alarm
was sounded, but there being no material
in the vicinity, nothing could be done to
ward closing it. The water will flood a vast
area of land under cultivation principally
as sugar plantations, but the damage will
be incalcuble. The Perique tobacco in
dustry will meet with setback.
The break is widening very rapidly and
water is pouring through it in a great
volume. The people in the settlement
have begun to remove to places of safety.
The break on the lower coast is on the
Hoopel and Davis Harlem’s harvest plan
tations, and at last accounts was thirty
feet wide. This place i6 about forty
miles below the city.
LEAPED FROM THE BRIDGE.
A Man Tries to Jump Into the River,
but Lands on a Shed.
New York, June 18.—An unknown man,
apparently about 26 years old, jumped
from the north roadway of the Brooklyn
bridge at 7:80 o’clock to-night and landed
upon the roof of the shed that covers
pier 29, East river. He was instantly
kiilod. His body was taken in charge by
the bridge police and placed in a small
room on the bridge at the New York end
to await the arrival of the coroner. It
is supposed that the man misjudged
the place from which he jumped, as it was
evidently his intention to fall into the
water. If he had calculated rightly and
jumped twenty feet farther out toward
the middle of the bridge, he would have
accomplished his purpose. From articles
found on his body his name is supposed
to be Mulbrenan.
A MAFIA DAMAGE SUIT.
A Case Thrown Out of Court On a
Point of Citizenship.
New Orleans, June 18.—A case involv
ing a claim for SIOO,OOO damages growing
out of the lynching of the alleged Mafia
assassins in this city several years ago,
has just been decided by Judge E. C. Bil
lings in the United States court. The
case is that of Annie Comitis vs. W. S.
Parkerson and others. The plaintiff Is the
widow of one of the Italians who were
lynched. The defendants are citizens of
Louisiana. Tho plaintiff claimed that she
is an alien citizen of Italy. Her alien
quality was denied, and it was on that
contention alone that tho court decided.
It was in the testimony that the woman
was a native of Louisiana, and that she
was married to Comitis, an Italian who
had left his country and repaired to
Louisiana. The court decided that the
woman could not bring suit as an alien.
STREET CAR HANDS STRIKE.
The Mayor Took a Hand and an Ob
jectionable Contract Withdrawn.
Minneapolis, Minn., June 18.—For ten
hours to-day the street railway systems
of Minneapolis and St. Paul were tied up.
A few days ago the company issued an
order requiring employes to sign
a contract or else quit its employ.
This was objected to by tho men
and they were given the alternative of
signing or quitting. Not one of
the 1.600 men employed in the
Minneapolis signed the document.
At a meeting lasting until 4 o’clock
this morning the men decided to
quit, and accordingly no attempt
was made to run cars. Mayor
Eustis took a hand in the matter, and
after considerable parlyingwith the man
agement of the company obtained the
withdrawal of the obnoxious contract,
and at 3 o’clock travel was resumed.
There was no violence.
A BALL PLAYER KILLED.
He Was Hit in the Temple by a
Pitched Ball While at the Bat.
Altoona, Pa., June 18. —Max Meindel,
who- was accidentally struck by a pitched
ball while at the bat yesterday afternoon
on the Juniata base ball grounds, died
this morning. The ball hit him on the
left side of the head, near the temple,
causing a fracture of the skull and
rupture of a blood vessel in the brain.
Meindel was manager of the Defiance
base ball team and highly esteemed by all
who knew him. .
A Hot Day at Orlando.
Orlando, Fla., June 18.—This has been
the hottest day so far this season. The
thermometer rose in places to 100° and
102° in the shade. It is acceptable to
vineyard men, who have been complain
ing about the excessive rains of the past
two weeks and its probable effect on the
immense crop with which the vines are
freighted. The crop promises to be one
of the best and most profitable ever
raised in this county.
France’s Cholera Returns.
Paris, June IS—The following cholera
returns were received to-day: Avignon,
one death; Privas, two deaths; Mont
retier, three deaths; Cette, two deaths.
SAVANNAH, GA., MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1893.
HAWAII'S FLAG FLUNG OUT
The New National Emblem Floating
Over the Palace.
The Attorney General Given Discre
tionary Power In Admitting to Bail
for Murder, Treason or Seditious
Offenses—A Trumped Up Story of a
Plot to Deport the Ex-Q,ueen.
Honolulu, June 10.—For the first time
in the history of the Hawaiian islands the
Hawaiian national flag was floated over
the palace on June 2. The formal occu
pation of the palace by the provisional
government and the raising of the na
tional emblem over it are regarded as a
final blow to the monarchy. The build
ing was formally dedicated to its new
uses on June 6 with a little ceremony, in
which the troops, government band and
officials participated. The provisional
government on June 3 paid to
Clause Spreckles $95,000 owed
to him, and there is a feeling of
relief among the officials that the govern
ment is no longer under obligations to
him. Mr. Spreckels denies that he was
actuated by a desire to embarrass the
government by demanding the return of
his money. Although the government
officials claim to be making progress in
the investigation of the alleged dynamite
outrage, an impression is current that no
harm to the government was intended.
The provisional government has passed
a law giving the attorney general discre
tionary power in admitting to bail [Ar
sons charged with murder, treason or se
ditious offenses. Heretofore all offenses
had been bailable, and this new law is
considered to be a further precaution to
prevent conspiracies and cut off the royal
ist native newspaper from too severely
criticising the provisional government.
C. A. Wildor, son of Vice President
Wilder, has been appointed consul gen
eral at San Francisco to succeed F. S.
Pratt, removed.
STORY OF AN ALLEOEP PLOT.
On June 6 Minister and Mrs. Blount left
for a short visit to Maiou, and though
they will only be, gone until June 11,
rumors of impending trouble began to
arise before the stoamei; bearing tho
“peacemaker,” as Mr. Blount is called
here, had barely gotten outside of Hono
lulu harbor. The royalists claimed to
have reliable information that the pro
visional government had decided
to deport the ex-queen on the
steamer City of Pekin due from
China June 5. They prepared to resist
any such attempt and men were placed on
guard at the queen’s residence to give the
deporters a warm reception. It is stated
that Sam Parker requested the British
minister to remove his legation to the ex
iu een's residence and thus place ex-Queen
iHioukaiani under tho protection of the
British flag, but the minister rofußed.
Maj. Wodehou.se, however, says there is
not a word of truth in the story.
The provisional government played its
trufaip card on June 9 by publishing the
text of a power of attorney given by ex-
Queen Lilioukalani to Paul Neumann
when he went to the United States to
work against annexation. The annex
ationists claim that the execution of this
power of attorney destroys the chief argu
ment of the queen that she had
yielded to the superior force of the United
States in that she acknowledged that she
made an unconditional surrender to the
provisional government. They further
call attention to the fact that she had no
thought of her people, but thought only
of her financial welfare, and it was a
plain offer of sale on her part.
W. G. Smith, editor of the Hawaiian
Star, has been arrested on a charge of
criminal libel at the instance of Claus
Spreckels, The Star had intimated that
Spreckels ought to be deported and his
possessions seized.
TRIAL OF THE ARMENIANS.
Seventeen of the Prisoners to Be Exe
cuted and Twenty-Four Imprisoned.
Constantinople, June 18.*—'The trial of
the Armenians accused of being con
cerned in the rioting at Caesarea and
Marsofan last spring has just
been concluded at. Angora. Seven
teen of the prisoners, including Prof.
Thoumaian and Prof. Kayayan were con
demned to death; six, including the Pro
testant pastoral Gimeric, were sentenced
to fifteen years inprisonment; eighteen
were sentenced to imprisonment for terms
ranging from seven to ten years and fif
teen were acquitted.
SURE TO BE EXECUTED.
London, June 19, 2 a. m.—The Daily
News, commenting on the result of the
Angora trial, says: “There will be ilttlo
fear but that the death sentence will be
carried out. Armenians may yet look
back to the trial with satisfaction since
the outrages have at last attracted world
wide attention to sufferings long endured
without redress.’’
FATAL RAIDS BY THE POLICE.
Attempts to Disperse Meetings of
Workingmen Lead to Bloodshed, e
Vienna, June 18.—Five thousand work
ingmen, in defiance of the police prohibi
tion, held a meeting in favor of universal
suffrage at Weisenburg, outside
of Bruenn, to-day. When the
police attempted to disperse the
meeting they were received with a volley
from revolvers and a shower of stones.
The commissary of police was killed and
four policemen were injured. On tho
other side twenty-six workingmen were
wounded.
A universal suffrago meeting at
Prague led to a similar encounter in
which thirteen policemen and fourteen
workingmen were wounded and one work
man was killed.
KICK OF THE IRISH MEMBERS.
Parnollites May Withdraw if Further
Concessions Are Made.
London, June 18.—Several of the anti-
Pamellite members of the House of Com
mons have received complaints from
their constituents for not opposing tho
government concessions to unionists in
the debate on the home rule bill. The
Parnellites have intimated to the min
istry that they will withdraw from the
house in the event of further concessions
being made. Mr. Sexton's supporters
are disposed to take similar action. The
followers of Mr. Healy are in favor of
adhering to the government.
A Dry Goods Dealer Assigns.
Waycross. Ga., June 18.—J. V. Norton,
one of tho largest dry goods merchants of
this place, made an assignment last night

Born In a Forest.
Ashland, Wis., June 18.—Iron River, a
thriving town of 2,000 population, twenty
miles from Ashland, is in ruins and is
likely to bo wiped out. Fire caught in
the outskirts of the village from forest

o'clock the entire residence portion of the
City was in Hames. Help was asked from
Ashland. ancLa special train was sent out
with a detachment of the fire department
from here. At Moquah the special
Jumped the track, causing several
hours’ delay, but no one
was injured. Forest fires * have
been raging all through Northern Wis
consin to-day, causing hot air to sweep
this section like hot winds in a desert.
Washburn had a close shave and the
fire made a heavy sweep in and about
W’hite River. It is likely to sweep on
south and bum millions of feet, of stand
ing pine.
It was only a year ago that Iron River
was entirely destroyed by fire. The
town had Just completed a system of
water works. Several people were
brought to Ashland to-night who had
been badly injured, narrowly escaping
with their lives.
The latest advices from Iron River state
the town is gone. Tho wires on the North

Duluth, June IS, —The result of a year
of enterprise on the Mesaba range has
been wiped out in a single day.
Advices received to-day indicate
that the towns of Virginia
and Mountain Iron have been destroyed
und that Biwabik is partially, if not en
tirely wiped out. It is impossible to esti
mate the loss, but it will approximate
$1,000,000 and several thousand people are
homeless.
In Duluth the news was followed by
immediate preparations to care for the
homeless people, A special train was
ordered by President Greabinger of the
Duluth and Iron Range railroad and car
loads of provisions were ordered. It will

COLUMBUS’ SHUT DOWN.
A Probability That the Mills Will Re
sume Full Time Before Long.
Columbus, Ga., June 18.—As stated in
the Morning News to-day, beginning to
morrow, the Eagle and Phenix mills will
run on half time. The woolen mill, how
ever, will run on full time. It is under
stood that the Chattahoochee knitting
mills will also run on half time. Tlio pur
pose of this action is to get an oppor
tunity to fix a flume und
also because business is not
as profitable as it was before the strin
gency in the money market began. It is
thought, however, that the half-time ar
rangement will not last more than six
weeks, and the mills may resume full
time in three weeks. Much depends upon
business conditions that may exist in the
next few weeks. The half-time arrange
ment will bear pretty hard on some of the
operatives. *

A Cuban Kills Himself Alter Trying
to Kill the Girl He Loved.
He Hid in the Fireplace of Her Room
From 9 O’clock to Midnight—She
Slept in Another Room for the Night
While Her Sisters Oocupied Her
Own.
St. Augustine, Fla., Juno 18. —Aurelio
Delgardo, a Cuban cigar maker 35 years
old. imagined himself in love with Movie
Louise, a pretty 15-year-old native girl,
living with her parents, Felix Pacetti and
wife, on Charlotto street. Delgardo se
creted himself in the fireplace iu Msrie’s
room from 9 o’clock till midnight, got out
and undressed himself, with the exception
of his trousers, and approached the bod,
in which Anna and Elizabeth were sleep
ing. The children awoke and screamed.
Anna Jumped out of bod, and while slie
was opening tho door he shot at her. Her
face is badly powder-burned. Tlie ball
went through the wall into tho room
where Marie Louise was sleoping, she
liaviug changed rooms with Anna.
PUT A BULLET INTO HIS HEAD.
.Thinking his supposed love, Marie
Txiuise, dead, Delgardo shot himself
through the temple, dying almost in
stantly. The fhildren had no idea of
Delgaruo's intentions. Letters were
found on tho body directed in Spanish to
ills brother. Jaun Delgardo, at 310 East
Forty-first street, New York, to Jauu
Eseota, at Havana, and to Manuel Romos,
a friend here, expressing his intentions to
kill Marie Louise and himself, because
nor parents objected to his marrying her,
amlsaying: "If I cannot have her for a
wife in this world 1 will In the next
world.” He wanted to occupy the same
grave with her. He was burled at Now
Augustine to-day.
SHOT THROUGH THE NEOK.
A Cuban Oigarmaker Murdered With
out Provocation.
Thomasville, Ga.,Juno 18.—Lost night
at the Virginia house, in this city. An
tonio Chachon, a Cuban oigarmaker. was
shot through the neck by Ramon Coreaz
Y. Valdez, another cigurmakcr, with a
38-caliber pistol. The shooting occurred
at 1L o’clock and the wounded man died
at 2 o’clock this morning. The evidence
at the coroner's inquest showed that
Coreaz was drinking, flourishing a pistol
and using violent language.
The Virginia hotel is used as a Cuban
boardinghouse, and Chachon was in his
room sitting on tho bed, with three other
Cubans present. A knock was heard at
tho door and Chachon opened it,only to bo
fired upon with tho above result. The
Cubans aided the sheriff diligently and
tlie murderer was arrested an hour later
in Richard Green’s saloon, apparently ob
livious to what ho had done, anil also
apparently sober.
The murdered man was a general favor
ite with tho Cubuns hero, while Coreaz
was considered a shiftless, quarrelsome,
drinking fellow. Coreaz, who is now iu
jail, says he has a brother in Tampa
named Frank and another in Havana
named Soraftn; also, a son in Havana
named Sisto Coreaz G. Martinez. No
motive for tlie crime is given. The men
wero good friends. The coroner’s jury
gave a verdict of murder. Court will be
in session this week, and the accused will
havo a speedy trial.
Four carloads of pears were shipped

S. Arnold, head bookkeeper for Benton
Bros., grain commission merchants, to
day shot and mortally wounded his wife
and then blew ids brains out. The

the weapon Arnold fired two shots into
his wife's body and then blew his brains
out with tho same weapon. Mrs. Arnold
is .mortally wounded and made an ante

has always been highly regarded in the
community and no one believes that her
husband had grounds for believing she
was unfaithful to him. Two girls aged 5
years, twins, will be left alone in tho

ORDAINED A DEACON.
An Impressive Ceremony at Which
Bishop Gray Officiated.
Orlando, Fla., Juno 18.—At the morn
ing services at St. Luke's church in the
presence of a large congregation the lit.
Rev. Bishop Gray ordained F. C. Baylis
to the deaconate. The right reverend
gentleman preached an eloquent and
masterly sermon from the text, “Let a
man so account of us as the minister of
Christ,” his theme being the apostolical
succession as held by the church. Tho
Rev. John J. Andrew, rectorof St. Luke’s,
assisted in the service. This was Bishop
Gray’s first ordination. Mr. Baylis is a
scholarly gentleman, a studentof Sowa
neeUniversity and has passed an excellent
examination. He will be appointed as
sistant to Archdeacon Brown in the In
dian river mission. To-night the bishop
held a confirmation service in tlie church,
two candidates being added to the mem
bership.
Died While Making a Call.
Wheeling, W. V., June 18.—Gen. A.
Bolton Caldwell, first attorney general of
West Virginia, and one of tlie founders of
tlie new state, died suddenly here to-night
while making a call. Heart disease was
the cause.
BANKER CLEWS’ VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.
New York. June 17.—Affairs in Wail
street are in an oscillating condition. Al
though the improvement in tone and con
fidence that set in last week is still main
tained, yot a series of small disturbances
have one after another come to the sur
face, which have prevented the realiza
tion of any fixed and important advance
in the vuiueof securities. Eveu tlie most
favorable events seem to have a dark side,
which counteracts their influence. Tlie
active forwarding of western produce
for export, whilst it lias stopped
the' export of gold, lias also
had the effect of drawing very
large amounts of currency to the Interior,
and the local money market has conse
quently become unsettled. This demand
for currency, however, seems to have
passed its climax, and to-day’s bank state
ment is likely to show a decline from last
week in the net loss of currency. Tho
western bauks appear to have now money
enough to handle tbe grain movement;
and as two months must elapse before tho
movement from this city to the west sets
in, it is within probability that, in tlie
course of a week or two, wo may witness
some return of the currency sent to tho
interior within the last two weeks; the
more so as the west will be enabled to re
mit on account of postponements of pay
ments to the east that have
occurred under the late ex
treme stringency of credits. The
city banks have found some compensation
for their shipments of currency westward
in liberal receipts of money from the
south and in a gain of cash in settlement
witli the sub-treasury. The flurry in the
money market is therefore likely to soon
abate, and may possibly be followed by
some months of comparative ease. Even
should it turn out th„ the west wants
still further amounts of cash from this
center, the inference should be anything
but discouraging. For such withdrawals
mean the marketing of a vast sum of
products, which will ease the loan mar
kets, diminish tho tension in credits,
quicken tlie movements of trade and re
lieve the foreign exchanges by the trans
fer of said products to foreign countries.
The chief trouble hi the situation Is the
continued extreme stringency in commer
cial discounts. This trouble hag become
very seriously urgent, and the natural
tendency of tho deruugement is toward
its own aggravation. Each denial of a
discount creates an application for a dis
count elsewhere; lack of discounts in oue
section aggravates the necessity for ac
commodation in other sections; and thus
the disease spreads with fatal rapidity
throughout tho whole country. Such a
state of things cannot be allowed to run
long without inviting widespread disas
ter. Most fortunate, therefore, is it
that the clearing house lias
decided to attack this malud.v
at its chief conter. In authorizing the is
sue of olearing house certificates, the
bunks have not aimed so much at pr -
tecting their own interests or reserves—
exoept so far as those might tie threat
ened through tho suffering of others—as
at making common cause for tho purpose
of extending accommodation to the com
mercial interests. The trade discounting
banks are but a portion of the whole, and
yet they are called upon to bear
nearly the whole pressure of this
urgent demand for commercial ac
commodation. In a similar way, the
banks acting largely as correspondents
for interior banks aro subject to an ex
traordinary demand for rediscounts
ami for currency from their country cus
tomers, which greatly intensifies the de
rangement of credit in all sections.
The issuo of certificates makes all classes
of bunks mutuul supporters of each other
and brings in tho help of tho powerful
Class whose necounts are with the largo
financial institutions and with the private
i bankers and the stock exchange houses.
Tlie action of the clearing house thus
places the disordered credit situation un
der immediate control. The Philadelphia
banks have taken a like course: and,
should the clearing houses of the seconda
ry centers follow tlie precedent, the dan
gers attendant upon the present strained
condition of commercial credit can hardly
fail to speedily disappear, leaving behind
no doubt a general caution and some con
traction of business, but no longer any
real danger.
The past week scores two very im
portant gains toward a common recovery
of confidence. To one—the action of tlie
clearing house—wo have already made
reference. Tho other is, in a broad sense,
still more vitally important. The canvass,
made in different directions, as to the dis
position of members of congress toward
the silver question leaves scarcely a doubt
as to a bill being passed ut tlie comiug
special session repealing tho silver pur
chasing clause in the Sherman act. How
much further congress may be disposed
to go in the way of amending our tenoral
currency system, so as to make it more
elastic in the way of automatic expansion
and contraction, remains to be seen; but,
so far as respects this most dangerous
feature of tho silver element of our
money, there is hardly room for
a doubt about its being
promptly eliminated. A larger benefit
to the country at large could hardly be
conceived. It is the doubt as to tho
quality of our future money that has had
an important inHuence in causing tho re
turn of our securities from abroad during
the past year, thereby deranging the
course of the foreign exchanges and pro
ducing the large loss of gold that has de
pleted the reserves of both the treasury
and tho banks. This doubt being re
moved, there would bo nothing to pre
vent a general recovery of confidence in
our securities in Europe, witli the prob
able consequence of a return of much of
the gold we have lost, and a resulting
restoration of the monetary strength of
the banks and a general ease in credits.
In view of these facts, wo anticipate,
from this time forward, a steady recov
ery of confidence, which will gain in
strength with tho course of events and
tho nearer approach of the assembling of
congress. This prospect may not produce
any immediate extravagant recovery in
prices of securities, but it will very legiti
mately strengthen the feeling of holders
and should hold the pessimist operators
iu chock.
A Farm Hand Slain.
Atlanta, Ga., June 18.—L. B. Deaton, a
farmer living on the Tugaloo river, which
forms tho boundary lino between Georgia
and South Carolina, yesterday killed a
farm haiid named Johnson by shooting
him with a shotgun. Johnson had as
saulted Mrs. Deaton and, when ordered
to stop work by Deaton, made a motion as
if to draw a pistol. Johnson was carried
over to the South Carolina shore and died
there. Deaton surrendered to the au
thorities at Toccoa.

GRAPES CANAAN.
Talmas Takes a Sermon From the
Trudf’C of the Israelites.
The Preacher Brings His Congrega
tion a Cluster From the Heavenly
Esohol—One Taste of It Enough to
Arouse an Appetite for the Heav
enly Canaan-Consolation for Those
Who Mourn.
Brooklyn, Juno 18.—Rev. Dr. Talmage,
in selecting a theme for to-day's sermon
in tlie Brooklyn Tabernacle, chose one
peculiarly suitable to the season of fruits,
the title being “Grapes from Canaan”
and tho text Numbers xiii, 23, “And' they
came unto tlie brook of Eschol, and cut
down from thence a branch with one
cluster of grapes, and they bare it be
tween two uiion a staff.”
The long trudge of the Israelites across
the wilderness was almost ended.
They had come to tlie borders of the
promised land. Of the six hundred
thousand adults who started from Egypt
for Canaan, bow many do you suppose
got there? Five hundred thousand? O,
no. Not two hundred thousand; not one
hundred thousand, nor fifty, nor twenty,
nor ten; but only two men. O, it was a
ruinous march that God’s people made;
but their children were living and they
wore on tho march, and now that they
had come up to tlie borders of the
promised land, they were very
curious to know what kind of a
place It was, and whether it would be
safe to go over. So a scouting party is
sent, out to reconnoitre, and they examine
the laud, and they come back bringing
specimens of Us growths. Just as you
came back from California, bringing to
your family a basket of pears, or plums,
or apples, to show what inoustttfu* fruit
they have there, so this scouting party
out off tho biggest bunch of grapes they
could find. It was so largo that ono mau
could not carry it, and they thrust a pole
through the cluster, and there was one
man at either end of tlie i>ole, arid so tlie
buncli of grapes was transported. 1 was,
some time ago, in a luxuriant vineyard.
Tho vine-dresser had done his work. The
vino had clambered up and spread its
wealth all over the arbor. The sun and
shower had mixed a cup which the vine
drank until with flushed cheek it lay
slumbering in the light, cluster agalust
tho eheolt of cluster. 'Flic rinds of tlie
grapes seemed almost bursting with tho
Juice in tho warm lips of the autumnal
day, and it seemed as if ail you had to do
was to lift a chalice toward the cluster
and its life blood would begin to drip
away. But, my friends, in these rigorous
dimes wo know nothing about largo
grapes. Strabo states that in Bible times
and in Bible lands there were grape
vines so largo that it took two men with
outstretched arms to reach round them,
and lie says there were dusters two
cubits in length, or twice the length from
tho elbow to tlio tip of tho long finger.
And Achaicus, dwelling in those lands,
tolls us that during the time ho was smit
ten with fever ono grupo would slake hla
thirst for tho whole day. No wonder,
then, in these Bible times two men
thought it worth their while to put their
strength together to carry down one
cluster of grapes from tlie promised land.
But tli is morning I bring you a larger
duster from tho heavenly Eschol—a dus
ter of hopes, a cluster of prospects, a dus
ter of Christian consolations; and I am
expecting that one taste of it will rouso
up your appetite for the hoavenl v (ianaan.
During the past winter some of this con
gregation have gone away never to re
turn. Tho aged havo put down their
staff and taken up the scepter. Mon iu
mid-life came homo from office or shop,
and did not go back again, and nover will
go back again. And tho dear children,
some of them, havo been gathered in
Christ's arms. He found tills world too
rough a place for them, and so ho has
gathered them hi. Ana oh, how many
wounded souls there are—wounds for
which this world offers no medicament,
and unless from the gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ there shall come a consola
tion, there will be no consolution at all.
O, that the God of all comfort would help
me while I preach, and that the God of
all com tort would help you while yott
hear.
First, I console you with tho divinely
sanctioned idea that your departed,
friends aro as muoh yours now as they
ever wero. I know you sometimes get
the idea in your mind, when you have
this kind of trouble, that your friends aro
cut off from you, and they are no longer
yours; but the desire to have all our
loved ones in the same lot in tho oerno
tory is a natural desire, a universal de
sire, and, therefore, a God-implanted de
sire, and is mightily suggestivo of th
fact that death has no power to break up
the family relations. If our loved ones
go away from our possession, why put tt
fence around our lot in the cemetery!
Why the gathering of four or five names
on one family monument? Why tha
planting of one cypress vine so that it
covers all tho cluster of graves? Why
put the husband beside the wife, and tha
children at their foot? Why the bolt oa
tho gate of our lot, and the charge to tha
keeiiers of the ground to seo that the grass
is cut, and the vine attended to, and tha
flowers planted ? Why not put our dip
parted friends in ono common field or
grave ? O, it is because they are ours.
That child, O, stricken mother 1 is as
much yours this morning as in the solemn
hour when God put, it against your heart
and said as of old: “Tako this child and
nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy
wages.” It is no mere whim. It is a
divinely-planted principle in the soul, and
God certainly would not plant a
lie, and he would not culture a
lio! Abraham would not allow Sarah to
lie buried in a stranger’s grounds, al
though some very beautiful ground was
offered him a free gift; but he pays four
hundred shekels for Machjteluh, the cave,
and tlie trees overshadowing it. Tho
grave has been well kept, and to-day the
Christian traveler stands in thoughtful
and admiring mood, gazing upon Maeh
pelah, where Abraham and Sarah
are taking their long sleep of
four thousand years. Your father
may lie slumbering under the tinkling of
the bell of the Scotch kirk. Your brother
may have gono. down in the ship that
foundered off Cape Ilatteras. Your little
child may be sleeping on the verge of the
flowering western prairie; yet God will
gather them all up, however widely the
dust may be scattered. Nevertheless, it
is pleasant to think that we will be buried
together. When my father died, and we
took him out and buried him iu the grave
yard of Somorvllle, it did not seem so sad
to leave him there, because right
beside him was my dear, good, old. beau
tiful, Christian, mother, and it seemed as
if she said : “1 was tired, and I came to
bed a little early. I am glad you have? 1
come: it seems as of old.” O, it is,/
consolation to feel that when men cob!’
and with solemn tread carry you oiy
your resting place, they will ope/
