For congress to be called together and
do nothing with the tariff, upon which
the people have repeatedly spoken with
no uncertain sound, would leave an ex

promises made in its platform.

Disbarment CascH Dismiiwctl.
Washington, July 22. Commissioner
Seymour of the patent office today ren
dered a decision in the disbarment pro
ceedings of Church & Church against
Foster & Freeman, attorneys for the
Poll Telephone company, and William
E. Simonds, late commissioner of pat
ents. Mr. Seymour finds that Foster &
Freeman are not guilty of any wrong
doing, as charged, and as to ex-Commissioner
Simonds, lie finds that what
he ditl was within his discretion as
commissioner and that the taking of
tlie copies of the Drawbaugh applica

of Secretary Noble to do so, was not,
under the rules of the office, a matter
of which he could be cognizant The

Some Sensible' Words from Comptroller
Eckels The Condition which Confronts
the American People Requires Thought
ful Attention Be Considerate with the
Banks Findings of tho Coroner's Jury
In Chicago's Great Calamity Four 3Ien
Held to the Grand Jury Death of Ex
GoTernor Stone of IOwjt A Tribute to
Kansas Women by Mrs. Eugene Ware.
Comptroller Kckels Views.
New Yokk, July 20. Comptroller of
Currency James II. Eckels was a guest
of his predecessor,' fix-Comptroller A. D.
Hepburn, at dinner at the Union Letigdc"
club last evening. The affair was stated
bj- the distinguished diners to be a
purely social one, given as a compli
ment to the now comptroller and for
j the purpose of enabling him to meet
the Jew York bankers,
Tlie gathering of so many of the'
leading financiers of the country, and
the presence in this city of the comp
troller of the currency, attracted fflueh
attention, and the meeting between
Mr. Eckels and the bankers was re
garded more as a conference on the
monctej- situation and the prospective
measures for its relief than as a purely
social meeting.
As Mr. Hepburn is not a member of
the Union League club, the dinner. was
given in the name of Henry W. Cari-
non, president of the Chase National
bank, aud Fred I). Tappen of tlie Gal
latin National bank. President George
B. Williams df the Chemical National
and president of the Clearing" House, as
sociation, presided.
Comptroller Eckels, in response to a
few words of welcome from his host,
Comptroller Hepburn, said:
" hen I accepted the invitation to
be nresent this evehisi'r it. was that I
I might indulge myself in the personal
pleasure of meeting some of the repre
sentatives of the great financial institu
tions of 3our cit y. I did not then, nor
I do I now, intend to make a formal atl
I dress, but there nfe one or two things
that may not be inappropriate to the
time or occasion.
"The condition which1 confronts the
American neonle rcouires thoughtful
I attention of every citi.cn who has at
heart the interest of the country. It is
! not a time of panic, because we have
I passed the period in our history when
j a panic is a possibility; but it is oneof
slow liquidation, the result of undue
speculation and unwise financial lcgis-
I lation. Nothing is to be gained by
taking dn a fright that is unwarranted
I by the inimbd'ate past or the immediate
future. What the American people
ought to do in the midst of the failures
I that have occurred is not to give way
! to uncalled-for alarm but to study the
chara-tcr of the institutions that hare
failed; the causes which have pro.luted
them and the localities in which the
have occurred. After such a stud3 let
them view the solvent institutions
everywhere about them and the conclu
sion that must irrcsistably follow is
that the legitimate life of the country
is not threatened, but instead, it will
j come out of the present turmoil the
stronger for having passetl through it.
I "In conservative business circles the
j failures have been few either in bank
j ing or other lines. Bad banking at
such times is dangerous and must in-
evitably 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 a result
of having kept alive the operations of
speculators in the extreme west and in
portions of the south. The art has not
been discovered of making something
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
his own kindred institutions which
have trusted in him and pinned their
faith to assets yet unborn.
"Disasters have fallen upon the spec
ulative institutions of boom . cities of
the states of Washington, California,
Colorado, Kansas and Missouri, which
have in turn injured solvent ones, but
the states of New England and the east
and the middle states, and thoje of the
northwest not less than of the south,
have thus far escaped; and, why? Be
cause the foundations upon which they
arc built is rock, and not sand. Such
a review as that I have indicated can
not but result in quieting the fears of
the timid and encouraging those who
have thus far maintained an unswerv
ing faith in the speedy coming of bet
ter times. It ought to check those who
invite disaster by withdrawing from
solvent institutions the money which
depositors cannot possibby use.
"The people are hoping and asking
much from the banks of the country.
In turn the banks have the right of
considerate treatment from the people.
Let those whb have long transacted
business with the banking institutions
havcsutlicicnt confidence in them to
know and feel that if in years past the
have proved safe, that they arc likely
to do so in the present emergency.
Kuns upon banks" but destroy the in
terest, which otherwise would be pro
tected, and those who indulge in them
cause to come about the thing which
they say they wish to avert
"In conclusion, permit me to say that
I indulge neither in extravagance of
speech or suggest a course to be fol
lowed by the banks, but the steps
through the past stress have been such
as to commend them to the good wishes
of the public The3 have displayed a
courage that has met every emergency
and the financial condition of affairs on
the part of the banks has been a con
stant source of inspiration to all the
country."
Death of an Ex-Governor of Iowa.
Des Moines, la., July 21. Governor
Boies has issued the following procla
mation in graceful recognition of the
death of one of his predecessors: "I
regret to announce to the people of
Iowa the death of their former gov
ernor, William Stone, who died at his
home at Oklahoma City, OkL, on the
18th inst, and whose remains will be
interred with appropriate funeral cere
monies at his old home in Knoxville,
la., on the 21st of this month. Gov
ernor Stone was first elected to the
office of chief magistrate of Iowa in the
fall of 1803, and held the same from
18G4 to 1808, inclusive, discharging its
various duties to the credit of himself
and the honor of his state. As an ap
propriate mark of respect to his mem
ory it is recommended that all flags on
public buildings of this state be dis
played at half mast on the day thereof,
to-wit, the 21st of July, 1893. This
office will be closed."
Chlcaco's Great Calamity.
Chicago, July 19. The coroner's ju
investigating the World's fair cold
age calamity reached a verdict yester
day. The jury held to the grand jury
the following people: D. H. Burnham,
director of the works at the World's
fair; Fire Marshal Edward Murphy of !
the World's fair fire department; J. B.
Skinner, president of the Hercules Iron
company. The verdict is as follows:
We, the jury, find that the deceased
came to his death from injuries and
burns received at the fire of the Cold
Storage building at the World's fair
grounds July 10, nd we, the jury, find
from the evidence that Charles A. Mc
Donald, John B. Skinner, IX A. Uurn
ham and Edward W. Murphy be held to
the grand jury for criminal negligence,
and there lieiu until discharged by due
course of law.
Fire Marshal Murphy was apparently
much' affected by the result of the in
vestigation. "I think it unjust and uncalled for,"
he said. "I was neither negligent nor
was I guilty 'Of misconduct at the fire."
President Skinner said the verdict
was aJSbiguons. The tire department
and ourselves can riot both be guilty in
this case. It must be one or the other.
There was no order of arrest made
following the verdict All four men
will bs a?ked to furnish bonds tomor
row, however"!
The evidence on which Director of
Works Burnham was held to thd grand
jury is that he was aware of the faulty
construction of the building and still
permitted it to be occupied within the
exposition grounds. Skinner and Mc
Donald nfe held bceausc they built the
building, and MUrpliy because evidence
was given that he ditl not f Hi ty investi
gate the fire before sending the men
into" the fatal tower. Murphy himself
swore that tlie men were already in the
tower when he arrived, having been led
up there by Captain Fitzgerald
Tribute to Kansas Women.
CHICAGO, July 21. In the assembly
room of the Women's building yester
day Mrs. Eugene Ware of Fort Scott,
Kan., garS art address on what the
women of Kansasare doing today. The
women of her state could not have
chosen a better or more earnest advo
cate than Mrs. WaTe. who closed her
address by comparing her sisters with
the Israelites of old, inasmuch as they
are a peculiar people. She revicwetl
the history of Kansas from its birth as
a state, and dwelt upon her sufferings
from storms, grasshoppers, strange pol
itician and cranks. In words well
chosen she' told nf the battles fought
by early Kansas wOftten against pov
erty, and concluded with U tribute to
the Kansas woman of today and Iter
daughter, whom she spoke of as a girl
in whose hair is imprisoned Kansas
sunshine and whose eyes reflect the
blue of Kansas skies.
Complaints Front rostmnsters.
Washing rox, July 20. The atten
tion of Acting Post master (Jcncral
Jones vJuf this morning called to a
number of complaiilto of postmasters
which have appeared in the newspa
pers, reflecting upon the Pcstofliee tie
p.irtment because of noncompliance
with their requests in tiie matter of
allowances fGr letter carriers, etc. Mr.
Jones said a large nUmber of offices
throughout the country were actually
in great need of atlditional carriers and
other" faci'itie.s for canying on the
work of the dflice, and while it would
afford the department pleasure to com
pVy with these requests, yet, as a mat
ter of fact, it was powerless to tlo so,
owing to the insufficient appropriations.
Lat year the appropriation, which
should haVc been increased in propor
tion to the increasing volume of postal
business, was increased only 5500.030,
which was $130,000 less than the in
crease allowed for the previous fiscal
year. The department, while thus
hampered b- short appropriations, will
try to do the best possible with those
in hand without favor or discrimina
tion. A Dark llfty for Den or.
Denver, Colo., July 20. Xcver in
the history of its commercial life did
the Rockj- Mountains have sueh a state
of Gnanccs as now prevails in Denver
and throughout Colorado. Yesterday
morning it was hoped that the banks
could weather the financial storm and
be in a position to cope with all de
mands made upon them today by their
depositors. This hope, unfortunately,
was dissipated by the announcement in
quick succession of the failure of the
National 15ank of Commerce, the Union
National bank and the Commercial Na
tional bank. In the attending excite
ment it is almost impossible to secure a
statement of the assets antl liabilities
of each bank, and thisinfonnation may
not be given out until later in the da3'.
The depositors in the different banks
have become almost completely panic
stricken anti long lines of people are
pushing and crowding each other to get
access to the paying teller's windows
of the dozen remaining banks that they
may secure their money on deposit. To
add to the excitement the failure of the
MeXamara Dry Uoods company, with
liabilities of S2ii0,()0(), was announced.
The amount of assets were not stated, I
but is believed to more than equal the
liabilities. The failure was precipita-
ted by the filing of an attachment for I
S71,780 in favor of the Union National j
bank. This attachment was served at j
1 oiclock this morning, antl shortly an-
other attachment for 520,817.71 in favor '
of the Colorado National bank was t
served upon the company antl the doojpat
were closed. The dry goods company '
had a large amount of money outstanuV
ing on credit, antl on account of the
stringency of the money market were
unable to collect from country custom
ers and thereby make their credit good
at the different banks.
WILL VOTE FOR REPEAL.
Congressman McDonald of Illinois Is of !
Pronounced Opinions.
Washington, July 20. Congressman '
McDonald of the Twelfth Illinois dis- .
trict is in the city on law
business. lie defines his p
sition on the financial question as
follows: "There are a great many
men," he said, "who attribute our
financial trouble solely to the effect i
of th Sherman 'aw. I shall vote for
its unconditional repeal. Some of my
constituents want free silver coinage,
but in some of the strongest counties
in my district the sentiment for silver
is far more moderate. I anticipate a
long battle when congress meeta, par
ticularly In the senate."
