9 Flnrry nt Detroit.
Detroit, June 13. The financial alarm
which for several weeks past has made
things lively for tho banks all over tho
country has at last reached Detroit. It
comes in the form of a lack of confidence
among the more ignorant depositors of
the savings banks. The excitement has
been gradually increasing. The People's
Savings bank among the very strongest
in the city was packed with a clamor
ing crowd all mornimr. It is said $63,000
were paid out to small depositors. - Tho
officials decided to take advantage of the
90-day notice provided by law, and dis
tributed circulars signed by 14 savings
banks of the city, announcing that in the
event of unusual demands upon them
and to insure equal protection to all de
positors, they would require the notice
provided for m theby-law3of the several
banks. The People's Savings bank has
a capital stock of $500,000. Its last re
port showed a surplus of $123,000, and
undivided profits of $73,258. It has
$G.2fl3i775.in savings deposits and $009,
034 of commercial deposits.
Run on a Kansas City Bank.
Kansas City, Juno 1.1. A run was
started on the Kansas City Safe Deposit
and Savings bank, the largest ravings
bank in Missouri. The bank promptly
met all claims, but as the crowd grew
large and it seemed evident a run was
on, the bank issued a notice to deposi
tors that it would enforce the rule re
quiring 30 days notice of withdrawal of
deposits. The bank is perfectly solvent
and has successfully withstood two runs
in the past. The run is considered
nothing more than a storm in a tea cup
by conservative men who say there is
no cause for alarm.

In a Collision.
London, Juno 13. The second of the
series of yacht races off Dover took place,
but the sport was practically spoiled by
an unfortunate mishap, which resulted
in the withdrawal of the Britannia and
the Vendetta from the contest and tho
practical extinction of the hope enter
tained by many persons that the Valky
rie would again show her superiority
over the other contestants. The yachts
which were prepared to take part in the
day's race were the Britannia, Valkyrie,
Calluna, Iverna, Vendetta, Anemone,
Lais, Varuna and Mable. A splendid
breeze was blowing 'and everything-
promised well for an excellent race. The
yachts had been drawn up in the posi
tions assigned them, and wore under

was pretty close to the line and her sail

Vendetta, Britannia and Valkyrie were
mixed up in a most confusing manner..
The shock of the collision was so violent
that many of the hands on the Britannia
and Vendetta were thrown overboard;
So far as known at present all were
saved. The damage done to the Britan
nia and Vendetta was quite serious. The
Valkyrie, though badly tangledup in
the mess, escaped with less damage than
the others. She was able to take part in
the raco, which, however, was greatly
delayed by the accident. The Britannia
and Vendetta were towed back to Dover
for repairs. When the Valkyrie finally
got started she was 20 minutes behind
the yachts which got away at"tho sound
of tho gun and was fully two miles
astern of the leaders. Notwithstanding
her disadvantageous start the Valkyrie
rapidly overhauled her opponents' and
made a good race of it, finishing second!

Kansas Crrr, June 13. President C.
B. Jewell, of the Jewell Rain company
of Goodland, Kan., which has been op
erating along the line of the Rock Island
railroad in Kansas, is in Kansas City
buying chemicals with which to con
tinue his experiments. Mr. Jewell is in
the employ of the Rock Island company
and travels with his associates in a spe
cial car, which the railway company has
fitted up for his purpose. "I am sur
prised," said Mr. Jewell to a reporter,
"at the. prejudice I have found against
our experiments in Kansas. The entire
expense is borne by the Rock Island and
not a penny is asked from those who are
most benefited. '
- "Professor Melburn attempted .to
throw mystery around his experiments,
but we do not. Of course wo do not tell
the chemicals we use, but our car is al
ways open' to the public for inspection
and the presence of any .number of
"spectators does not deter us from going
ahead with our operations. Our work
is done entirely by gases, which we
liberate through a sort of a smoke stack
and which ascends rapidly, how
far I not know. We have prog
ressed far enough to determine that
there is nothing in the concussion theory.
At Dodge City we sent up aballoor
filled with explosives, but we got no re
sults. Rainmaking is still in a crude
state, but I have great faith in it, and I
ultimately believe that man will be able
to control the heavens."

The wheat market opened dull and c
lower than it closed yesterday. There wns
no good reason for the accession of weakness
to be discovered by a perusal of the various
items of the early news. On the contrary,
there was a good deal to inspire a hope for
some improvement. The regular cablo quota
tions d id not strengthen the position of the
bulls but, on the other hand, they were not
distinctly weakening In their effect. The
foreign consuming markets are amply sup
plied with wneat at present, and although
they can see a prospective scarcity ah old.
they are short of money and have all they can

art has written the following letter:
VAsnrXGTOX, June 12.
SIR You ask me whether the Sherman
act will be repealed. I reply no. The
representatives of the people dare not do
it. Every obligation of the government,
and nearly, if not all, private obligations
entered into previous to 1800, except those
ou the Pacific coast, are payable In silver.
The repeal of the Sherman act would de
prive the debtor of the right to pay in the
money of the contract, and convert all the
indebtedness of the United States into
gold obligations, and not only impoverish
and ruin the present generation, but
would be a heritage of misery for genera
tions to come. No, the Sherman act will
not be repealed.
William H. Stewart.

ing all they can in the few weeks left to
them of official life and are clapping on
the fees in a manner which- is bringing
many complaints from shipowners to the
state department. Nearly all the fees
collected under the old laws were de
clared to be official and the proceeds
were covered into the treasury.
