New Yobk, July 19. Many note
brokers whose business it is to raise
money on commercial paper and notes,
and who have the best opportunity of
judging the condition of the money
market, claim that money has been
growing more plentiful than it was a
month ago and they fail to see any
reason why the improvement should
not continue.

paratively easy, call loans being
quoted at from five to six and the time

Denver, CoL, July 19. The failure
of three savings banks yesterday had
excited the masses, and when the
other banks of the city opened to-day
the streets were crowded with anxious
depositors. The eleven clearing
house bunks located within four
blocks of each other were crowded
and the streets were blocked until the
police w ere called out to clear the way
for traftic
At 10 o'clock the Union National,
with a capital of f 1,000,000, posted a
notice that it would not open it doors.
Following quickly the Commercial
National bank posted a similar notice,
and then the National Hank of Com

ITS DOORS CLOSED SUDDENLY
The Old First National of Fort Scott
Unable to Stand a Drain.
Fobt Scott, Kan., July 19. The
First National bank of this city failed
to open its doors for business this
morning at the usual time and the
first intimation any one had of the
financial condition of the bank was
when the following notice was - put
upon the front door at 9 o'clock:
Owlnsr to steady withdrawals of deposits and
oar inability to tolled assets, we deem it to
the best interest of all concerned that this
bank be temporarily closed. Assets are more
than three times liabilities, and depositors
will lose nothing. By order of director.
The bank officials all claim that all
depositors will be paid in fulL The
failure was a great surprise to every
one as it was thought ail of the banks
In the city were on a solid financial
basis.
The First National bank was estab
lished in 1871 and was the oldest and
largest national bank in Southeast
ern Kansas. It had a capital stock of
1300,000, fully paid up and had always
stood all runs.
A run on the People's Savings bank
was started, but a notice requiring a
thirty, sixty and ninety day notice
was posted, thus preventing a heavy
run.
The failure of the First National
bank has had so effect on the other
banks, as they are in no way con
nected, and the merchants and busi
ness men have perfect confidence in
their stability.

Toprka, Kan,, July 20. Steps were
taken yesterday by the various labor
organizations in this city to act upon
the suggestion of T. V. Powderly,
general master workman of the
Knights of Labor to plunge headlong

Shawnee is the banner Republican
county in the state and the Populists
have never gained much foothold.
The shopmen and other laborers are
divided on old party lines, and despite
the efforts of the Populist leaders to
make converts among them, but little
headway has been made. The plan
of the labor organizations is indorsed
by the Populist leaders, who think
that the Democrats may be induced to
vote a labor ticket, although they
would under no circumstances, vote
for straight Populist nominees.

He sharply intimated that the officers

, Methods and Lauds the Eastern
Financial Institutions Dined
by Sw York 11a ok ers and
Moneyed Men People Ursd
to Stand by the Hank.
'New York, July 20. Comptroller
of the Currency James A. Eckels was
a guest of his predecessor, ex-Comptroller
A. D. Hepburn, at dinner at
the Union League club last evening.
The affair was stated by the dis
tinguished diners to be pur: social
given as a compliment to ..ie new
comptroller and for the purple of en
abling him to meet the New York
bankers.
1 The gathering of so many of the
ieading financiers of the country at
this particular timeand tne presence
in this city of the comptroller of the
currency attracted much attention,
and the meeting between Mr. Eckels
and the bankers was regarded more
as a conference on the monetary sit
uation and the prospectuj measures
for its relief than for a r urely social
meeting. Comptroller Eckels, in re-,
sponse to a few words of welcome
from his hostex-Comptroller Hepburn,
saidt . -.-,,'' .'
"When I accepted the invitation to
be present this evening it was that I
might indulge myself in the personal
pleasure of meeting some of the repre
sentatives of the great financial insti
tutions of your city. I did not then,
nor do I now, intend to make a formal
address, but there are one or two
things that may not be inappropriate
to the time or occasion.
"The condition which confronts the
American people is one that deserves
the thoughtful attention of every
citizen who has at heart the interest
of the country. It is not a time of
fianic, because we have passed a period
n our history when a panic is a pos
sibility; but it is one of a slow liquida
tion, the result of undue speculation'
and unwise financial legislation. Noth
ing is to be gained by taking on a
fright that is unwarranted by either
the immediate past or the immediate
future. What the American people
ought to do in the midst of the fail
ures that have occurred is not to give
way to uncalled for alarm, but to
study the character of the institutions
which have failed, the causes which
have produced them and the localities
in which they have occurred. After
such a study, let them view the solv
ent institutions everywhere also about
them and the conclusion that must
irresistibly follow is that the
legitimate life of the country is not
threatened, but Instead will come out
of the present turmoil the stronger
for having passed through it In con
aervative business centers the failures
have been few, either in banking or
other Hues. Bad banking at any such
times is dangerous aud must Inevit
ably bring disaster upon those who
engage in it The present stringency
has simply hastened the Closing of
some banks because they were
inherently weak. Others have
closed as the resultant effect of having
kept alive the operations of specula
tors in the extreme West and in
portions of the Sout-i. The art has
not been discovered of making some
thing out of nothing and the financier
who stakes his all upon an unbuilt
city reaching out into the waste
places of the earth must bring about
the ruin of hi own aud kindred in
stitution which have trusted to him
and pinned their faith to assets yet
unborn.
'iUaastrni have fallen upon the
speculative institution in boom cities
of tiie state of Washington, California,
Colorado, KaiiM aud Missouri, which
have in turn Injured solvent one, but
the state of New England and the
Kat and the middle statea and thoae
of the Northwest, not lea than of the
houth, have thus far eatapml and
why? lievausw the foundation
upon which they are built are
rock and not sand. Mueh a review aa
that 1 have Indicated cannot but have
the effect of quieting the fear of the
timid and encouraging those who have
thu far maintained an unswerving
faith la the speedy coming of better
time. It ought to ehet l thoea who

stroy the interest which otherwise
would be protected and those who in
dulge in them causa to come about
the thing which they say they wish to

"In conclusion permit me to say that
I indulge neither in extravsgance of
speech nor undue flattery when I aay
that the course followed by the banks
of this great city through the past
strew has been such as to commend
them to the good wUhes of the citizens

- women at Kansas.
Cmo'io, July 19. In the assemblf
room of the Women's building yester
day Mra Eugene Ware of Fort Scott,
Kan., gave an address on what the
women of Kansas were doing to-day.
She opened by comparing ber
sisters with the Israelite of
old, inasmuch as they were a
peculiar people. She gave the history
of Kansas from its birth as a state and
dwelt upon its Sufferings from storms,
grasshoppers, strange politicians and
cranks. In words well chosen she
told of tho battles fought by early
Kansas women against poverty and
concluded with a tribute to the Kan
sas woman of to-day and her daughter,
whom she soorfe of as a girl in whose
"bair is imprisoned Kansas sunshine,
and whose eyes reflect the blue of
Kansas skies."
Trouble la store for China.

Conference at Topeka.
Denver, CoL, July SO- The old
German National, with a reputatio
for stability of twenty years' standing,
the equally reputable State National
and the People's National were added
to the list of suspended institution
this morning.
All night long depositors stood la
line in front of the German and by
0 o'clock there was a sea of faees
stretching down the street At th
opposite corner, where the State had
long done -business, there was also
quite a crowd of anxious depositors
waiting the opening of the doors.
Here the people were relieved of
worry a few minute after V o'elocX
when a notice was posted on the door
that the bank would not open, owicr '
to a lack of ready cash, and the erowa
moved away,
At the Germn there was evidently
a determination to go ahead jritla
business up to almost the last momeat,
when a slip of paper waa pasted aa
the window, stating that the door
would remain closed temporarily.'
Then men and women down, the lias)
broke into tears.
A fierce run on every bank in the
city followed, but it was given out by
reliable people that there would be no
more suspensions.
The People's coal company assigned
to-day. Assets and liabilities not

Frank Adams, bank examiner, baa
taken charge of the Union National
Commercial National, National Bank
of Commerce, State National, German
National and People's National banks.
A report of their condition will not bo
made for several days.
The run at the Denver National
ended at noon with an enormous
amount of money still in sight The
same is true at the City and all tho
other banks and business men are be
ginning to breathe freely.
Yesterday afternoon the North Den
ver Savings bank and the Capital bank
were added to the other failures. Tho
constant strain on the banks by scared
depositors has brought about tho
crisis. It is stated hv depositors thai
no less than 88,000,000 has been drawn
from the banks during the last ail
months. -
Senator Teller in an Interview saidt
"There is no one thing to which this
trouble can be assigned. It is partly
to silver, but more to the general de
pression that effects the entire coun
try. The failnres yesterday were un
warranted, and directly chargeable to
the people who became frightened
and panic striken at a ahadow.
No bank can pay its depositors
if all rush in at ouoo auddemaud thai
money and had our institutions been
given time to realize on securities tbey
could have paid in full, for no houses
in the United States are in better con
ditton than those in this city. Of
course we suffer hara from the de
pression of silver, but not entirely
from this. The Sherman law is nol
repealed yet and it does seem to mo
that we are crossing a bridge before wo
come to it There is nothing so un
fair aa to blame all our ills on silver,
ltetter blame some of our trouble to
silver speeches. Such unbridled lan
guage that the press brought while I
waa Kat can have nothing but tho
