Near York Business Men Take a Holiday
From Saturday to Wednesday.
New York, July 4. The Fourth of
July holiday evidently was begun by
many business men on Saturday and no
business was transacted down town
Monday except that which could not ba
avoided. Those brokers who were not
short of stock and had renewed their
loans on Friday over until Wednesday,
evidently remained away a day, content
to let the silver question and other mat
ters of that character, in which they
were interested, take care of themselves.
But although there was little done on
the stock exchange, and many business
offices wero closed, the banks were all
very busy, the 1st of July payments, in
addition to their regular Monday morn
ing's mail, making plenty of work for
them.
Among the banks the situation was
reported to be very easy, the demands
from the country were very light, and
many of the large centers, mainly Chi
cago, were beginning to pay back the
money they bprrpwed from New York.
A slight improvement was reported from
Philadelphia, and several heavy remit
tances wore received from that city. Tho
transfer 61 $1 ,'.500,000 to San Franciso is
explained as being due to the action of
savings banks there. They required the
60 days' notice from their depositors and
then sent on their securities to Kelly &
Co. for sale to be in readiness for the de
mand upon them if it should be made at
the expiration of 60 days. The transfer
is said to be made on account of some
of the securities.

Dilke on Try on.
London, July 4. Sir Charles Dilke,
ono sf England's most eminent author
ities on naval and military matters,
was interviewed concerning the reports
that Admiral Tryon was suffering from
temporary mental derangement when he
conducted the maneuvers off Tripoli.
Sir Charles said: "While the foreign
office has a good deal to say on this sub
ject, I must confess that Admiral Tryon
never gave me the idea that he had any
mental weakness whatever. One of tho
lords of the admirality said that a better
sailor than Tryon never trod a ship's
deck. The blunder simply passes com
prehension. Had Tryon lived, he must
have been adjudged guilty, according to
the present evidence, and unless the
crown used its prerogative, have been
shot.?

closing of American silver mines: "Pres
ident Cleveland has been forced to call
congress together to repeal laws passed
to benefit a few individuals at the ex
pense of many. In six months 175 banks
have failed and extreme measures alone
have kept the great money centers of the
eastern states from even more serious
trouble. In the face of such a combi
nation of evils it seems likely that the
Fourth will lack a little of its old time
spread eagleism."

A Tradition of tho Flood.
All the northern coast Indians have
ft trailition of a flood which destroyed all
mankind, except a pair from which the
earth was again, peopled. Each tribe
gives the story a local coloring, but the
plot of the legend is much the same. The
Bella Coola tradition is as follows:
The creator of the universe, Mes-mes-M-la-nik,
had great difficulty in the ar
rangement of the land and water. Tha
earth persisted in sinking out of sight.
At last he hit upon a plan which worked
very well. Taking a long lino of twisted
walrus hide he tied it around the dry
land and fastened the other end to the
corner of the moon. Everything -worked
well for along time, but at last the spirit
became very much offended at tho action
of mankind, and in a fit of anger one day
seized his great stone knife and with a
mighty hack severed the rope of twisted
skin. Immediately tho land began to
sink into the sea. The angry waves
rushed in torrents up the valleys, and in.
a short time nothing was visible except
the peak of a very high mountain.
All mankind perished in the whelming
waters with the exception of two, a man
and his wife, who were out fishing in a
big canoe. These two succeeded in
reaching the top of the mountain and
proceeded to make themselves at home.
Here they remained for some time unto,
the anger of Mes-mes-sa-la-nik cooled,
which resulted in his fishing up the sev
ered throng and again fastening it to the
moon. From this pair thus saved the
earth was again populated. Victoria (B.
