At 2 o'clock this morn- Jg returns from seventy districts Indlcato 'at thirty-six have been carried by parties posed to the army hill , fifteen have been 'rrled for the parties favoring the bill ana 'notccn nro In doubt , between the govern- cnt and the opposition parties , with the I' ' tanccs In the majority of them strongly In .Yoroftho government. The government It irtlcs have lost three of their former seats , l/lvo / to the Hlohtcrlsts , ono to the social Democrats , ono the second ballot shall dc- 1Jo , and ono to n south German democrat. ho government has won one seat from iho imposition. 'The social democrats have won two scats , eslilcs having secured many chances for "iow victories on the second ballot. A 'kirlous ' feature of their two accomplished ictorlcs in new fields Is that they won at ho expense of the Hlohtor radicals , also nemles of the army bill , and not , as w.ts expected , nt the expense of the national lib- , vrals , the friends of the bill. Although the ' oclal democrats' gains are undoubtedly [ t aormous , they will not prove so largo prob- bly as the reports have so far indicated , ho reports from the cities como in first and is in the cities that the social democratic indldatca always run best , j The police of this city closed up the social- | ? ) t mass nicotines at the Gcrmania hall , the , l , the Concordia , the Elysotim and the Bedding hall , owing to overcrowding.

I .During the day the socialists distributed 'lit n million handbills hero. They spent ,000 marks in the Fifth division alone the rgcst sum ever expended by a single party a Berlin constituency. The conservatives id anti-Semites also worked hard. The socialist vote In Berlin foots 20,000 ' ; er the vote of 1890. The socialists have jon equally successful in Hamburg and Uona. Altogether the vote promises n I. 'cialist victory. The women rendered great islstanco in the canvass. Many university students canvassed for mscrvatlvo candidates. In spite of tre- icndous exertions , the unltea conservatives J nd anti-Semites have lost .1,000 votes as f/omparcd / with the figures of 1SOO , and the l.'adicals have lost nearly 20,000 votes. It is litatcd that the socialists are likely to win Jlhrco out of four of the roballots against the f-adlcals. I In Berlin not n single candidate pledged to f support the army bill has gained even the i'baro honor of a reballot. The prospects of a government majority appear to bo vanish- ling. Houghly speaking the socialist vote ( shows a great increase everywhere. The I radical vote has diminished greatly , chicfi.V. [ It would spom.bccauso the better class of the i radical party voted for the anti-Semitic can- laidates. „ I ooks Itnd for the Army 1IIII. Not 10 per cent of the votes cast In Berlin I wcro given in favor of the army bill. Seldom | has the city spoken In such emphatic tones. I The provincial returns appear to bo equally Ijemubatic in tlio same direction. The great \succcss \ of the social democrats has caused a Inrolouud sensation. SoclulUU In UlRli Feather. As the day were away the social democrats [ ccelvcd great encouragement from the ro- [ urns. At the headquarters of the execu tive committee telegram after telegram I rought news of social-democratic gams. Ivn enormous vote evidently was being | oiled for socialist candidates in the Khino I rovincrs , Saxony , Hamburg. Frankfort-on- I he-Main and other industrial centers. Paul rlnger.sociallst In the Fourth Berlin district , ind Herr Schmidt , socialist candidate In the Ilxth district , were reported as sure of King returned by heavy majorities. The Itclallsts wcro also confident that they iould capture the Third Berlin district on 1 o first poll , as at the last election they [ eked only a few votes of electing their ndldato. In this district Hcrr Vogt ran the socialist interest ; Fischer , socialist , the Second dltlct , and iLicbknceht , so- hlistintho Fifth district , wcro regarded [ likely to be elected on a roballot. | ( n Hamburg tlio balloting promised the re- I rn of three socialists , I'toenlgsburg city will bo doubtful , but the Littlists thcro think probably Herr Schultz , reir candidate , will be elected on a roballot.

WILL ASSIST THE BANKS Scbomo to Tide Over the Present linancial Depression. ACTION OF NEW YORK'S ' CLEARING HOUSE l.onn Cortlllcntcs Will IIo Insuetl to Initl- tutlon * In Need of Help Vlowi of a 1'roinlncnt Hunker on the Situation. NEW YonK , Juno 15. In view of the seri ous drain upon the banks here , caused by de mands from the Interior , the clearing nouso decided at a meeting held today to issue 0 per cent loan cortillcatcs to tide those banks which need help over the present financial troubles. The moot ing was n general ono and began nt noon. President Williams of the clear ing house committee said : "Tho action of the committee , as far as taken , has been largely with a view to giving tone to the country. It is likely to bo followed by other centers. The citadel is all right , but wo want to strengthen the outuosts. " The proposal of the committee , to which President Williams referred , Is that every clearing house center In the country issue clearing house certificates , which would make available for use between the banks a vast amount of per fectly good assets which are now uncurrent. In the opinion of sagacious and conscrvatlvo bank oftlccrs of this city , it would bo a long step toward the restoration of confidence. The last time clearing house loan certificates wcro taken out was during the Baring trouble , when the oxamnlo of the New York banks was followed by Boston und Philadel phia. This course would virtually make each clearing house group a single bank of discount and would distribute the burden of accommodations moro equally than nt pres ent , enabling institutions short of cash to obtain it from their neighbors without at tracting attention or creating distrust. Views oT n Hank President. Speaking of the money stringency and the shipment of largo amounts of currency , par ticularly to the western and northwest , the president of a largo national bank said to a reporter today that the demand from the country banks for rediscount was larger at present than at any time in his long experi ence , and particularly from banks in the northwest and west. The demand was general , however , and ex tended from the Pacific to the Atlantic. 11 set in. ho said , nearly four months ago. and has gradually increased until it has assumed its present largo proportion. As , however , the banks which wci-o asking for redis counts , this week were sending in their shortest time paper , paper maturing in a month or six weeks , that was regarded as an indication that the country bankers did not expect the demand to last much longer , and it was therefore hoped that it had reached its height. The demands from the south , it was said , were only such as were expected at this time of the year and wcro not unusually large. There had been fewer failures in the south than in any other part of the country and some of the lai-go southern cities were not asking for accommodation. The south , said the bank president , was believed to bo in pretty good condition. Shipments of Currency West. "There is no oxaggeratiou in these reports of shipments of currency , " continued the speaker. "Wo shipped 6100,000 yesterday ourselves , and I know of two other banks that shipped more than . )0,000 , and that business has bcon polng on for some days. Most of that money will undoubtedly return hero throuch the natural channels of trade. Some of it will , no doubt , bo sent back hereby by the banks when they find that it is no longer needed , but a large part , like some of the ponsinn money being paid out , will re main in the pockets of the people until the present distrust is removed. When will that bo ? When the cause fcr it is removed. I mean when the people arc assured that the Sherman silver purchase law will bo re pealed. Until that is done confidence will not bo restored. " This bank president's view of the situa tion in the south was confirmed by the presi dent of ono of the largest banks in Georgia , now in this city , and with whom a reporter talked today. Besides being president of a large national bank , he is also a member of a largo private banking house , and a prominent - nont member of the State Banking associa tion. Notlllnc to Fell' In the South. ' 'Tho banks of Georgia and of the south , " he said "aro all in generally , , good shape and the same may bo said of the country. Wo had our trouble in the south , you know , about two or three years ago , and have got over it now. Our cotton crop looks fine and the prospects for it are very gaod. Money is close , of course , m the south now , as else where In the country at large , but wo do not regard tlio situation down there as at all alarming. Thcro is not much of last year's cotton to como forward. What is held of last year's crop is mainly held by rich men.1 LOCAI , OPINIONS. Ouinlm Flnnncleri Kxprcsi Themselves Fully on the Subject , Several Omaha financiers were Inter viewed last evening upon the subject of this great scheme for the relief of embarrassed banks. The substance of the Interviews clearly In dicates that the moneyed men of this city regard the Idea in an unfavorable light , so far as Omaha is concerned. However , they commend the merit of the suggestion , when confined to Now York und largo financial centers of the east. ' Mr. Kountzo Gives Ills VJow . Mr. Herman Kountzo of the First National , speaking of tlio action of the Now York clearing house In deciding to issue clearing house certificates , said : ' The scheme is by no means n now ono , having ticca first used , if I remember rightly , in the stressful days of 1873. De signed to restore confidence and tone up the financial world , it has the merit of making one immense bank of all the banks in Now York City. It has the advantage - vantage of keeping currency in In dividual banks which otherwise would bo paid into the clearing house to settle bal ances. These clearing house certificates , ol course , nro taken by all banks , public as well as private , and until the stringency passes away the securities put up In lieu of currency remain In possession of the ClearIng - Ing House committed , U doss not necessarily mean that weak banks take advantage of these certificates. Any bank may feel that it would rather have Its own currency for a day or so , and , in consequence , put in sccur. I tics to cover the amount. It is ; iu excellent idea , but quite unnecessary that the Omaha Clearing House should issue certificates , sa v for 50,000 , In view of the fact that the llurri has qulto died out and confidence again rules. "All the banks feel that the worst Is ovei and naturally would not adopt the method ! of the Now York Clearing House unlosa thought absolutely necessary. In Now Yort I think it has Leon done purely as a precautionary tionary measure , not that they need thi money , but simply to aid the demands frou western centers. " II. W. Viiten on the Subject. Mr. Henry W. Yatcs , president of the No bruska National , said ; "I have no Inform tlou regarding the needs of the New Yorl banks , but imagine that It Is for tlo ( pur pose , not so much of restoring conllde'nco , o which thcro has been no lock In Mow Yot-k but for the purpose of meeting current dc mauds of the commercial publio. It wa done iu Boston at the time of the Barini trouble ana was found aa excellent schcrn [ it that tlm . In a large city like New containing so many hanks , thcro may bo a number of banks pos 6Mitig excellent assets , upon whom the burrton of the western de mand for currency jnny fall In unreasonable proportions , while tbdro may bo other banks entirely unaffected by such demand and who may have an excess of .surplus. "Thcro could bo no safer Investment than clearing house certificates Issued by the associated b.mlis in Now York , and the banks possessing thl surplus would esteem it n privilege to obtai thcso certificates for their spare funds , Nothing of the kind Is needed here , and I d ubt If the plan could bo utilized to any advantage. " Joseph ir , Mlllnrd Talks. Joseph II. Mlllard , president of the Omaha National , said : "It Is n most excellent idea , and if it could be done in every clearing house center in the west it would glvo us a great deal of comfort. It won't bo done , however , because - cause I question if times are so stringent as to require that all the banks should avail themselves of clearing house certillcatcs. When money becomes scarce it is the ono thing to do. "Boston , Philadelphia and Now York are the only cities that have Issued certificates of this kind , but no doubt other cities will now follow Now York's load. There is no need for clearing house certificates In Omaha , us the little excitement of Monday and Tuesday is subsiding , and in a few days everything will bo scrono again. The pres sure from the west has undoubtedly largely prompted the Now York banks to take this step , which cannot fail of the Intention to tone up the finances of the country. " AI'TKU A niiCKlVlSlt. Directors of the American Nntlonnt Hold n Mcetlnc Aftur thu Hull. The run on the Omahn banks is entirely over , the Omaha Savings , whlcli caught It hardest , having passed through the two days' slope apparently without incon venience , and ycstcday there was no indi cation at any of the bauus of the strain of the past forty-eight hours. Tlio only noticeable feature Is the large number of de positors who , now tliat.tho craze has had Its run and quietness and , 'n feeling of security Is restored , are seemingly in as much of a hurry to get their money back Into the banks as they were on Tuesday to get It out. Tno deposits of the day will exceed these of any day in many months. The directors of the American National bank hold a meeting at the bank building yesterday to discuss the situation and consider applications for the receivership. The directors do not have the appointing power , but it is understood that Inasmuch as there is no suspicion of crooked work in connection with the failure of the bank the wishes of the directors will bo accorded duo deference and no ono will bo appointed who is not altogether friendly to iho institu tion. tion.The The other banks arc'very naturally inter ested in the appointmcntof the receiver , and us the interests of the Individual banks con flict there will undoubtedly bo quite a con test for supremacy and the iusido track in the matter.

The expert estimates the net proflts each month , based on April figures , at $75,000 for both companies. President Bent proposes if the stock holders assent to retire the floating Indebt edness of the companies by milking a consol idated mortgage upon all the real estate and franchises to the Girard Life Insurance , Annuity and Trust company of Phlladtlphta as trustee to secure the joint bonds of the companies to the amount of $9,000,000 , pay able in thirty years and bearing interest ut C per cent. * Will l'ay the Depositors. iNDiANAi-oua , Juno 15.

Sec retary Smith granted thcso clerks a fifteen days leave with pay in order that they might have an opiwrtunlty to look about for other employment before their pay was cut oft altogether. By this wholesale reduction In the laud office force the government , looking the matter from a Holmaii-Dockcr.v economic standpoint , saves annually $1)0.000. ) So far as known no Ncbrasknns wcro among these discharged. Four lowans wcro on the list as follows : J. P. Driver , Soooml district ; C. H. Babbitt. Ninth district ; W. G. Webster , Third district , and E. Kil- patrick , First district. Crete's WiMither Station tn Ilo Komovoil. Secretary Morton has decided to remove the weather station now located nt Crete , Neb. , to Omaha. A number of protests have been received against such action. The transfer is ordered upon the recommendation of the chief of the weather bureau. These protesting refer to the great expense of the transfer. As to the cxncnse , tlio secretary says that It will bo small , and great advan tages will ultimately accrue. While the ex pense of the removal will bo considerable , the result of having the station at Omaha will vastly outweigh the Incidental expenses of removal. The weather chief cites the fact that , Omaha being centrally located , greater telegraphic facilities may bo ob- tuinod and the service greatly imuroved. Army Oflloors for Indlnn Acei'i'lcs. The president has notified the Interior de partment that he intends to appoint to In dian agencies only regular army officers. Tliero are some sixty places in the service to bo tilled and a large number of patriots have signified their willingness to servo the gov ernment in the capacity of Indian agents. Mr. Cleveland under a recent law may iu his discretion assign army officers to act as In dian agents. Ho proposes that ns far as practicable , only regular- officers shall be designated to serve upon the various Indian reservations and should the list of officers fall short then he will consider the applica tions of civilians. The commissioner of In dian affairs has recommended some fifteen civilians and today Mr. Cleveland sent back these papers with the request that , if cossl- blo , regular army officers bo rocoinmendfcd.

UusUlllful Work Responsible for the 1'ord Theater Disaster. WASHINGTON , Juno 15. The now inquest has started. Four days of woric have been wasted , and now the work of finding , so far ns a coroner's jury can find , who is respon sible for the disaster at the Ford building has been commenced once more. All the testimony which had so far been given was of no moro value , from a legal standpoint , than If It had been delivered to the winds , Instead of to six attentive jurors. Through out this case , however , the district has learned something , and this morning the In quest was started in a formal \vny , Colonel Ainsworth's attorney was In the hall a few minutes before the inquest began , but ho withdrew before Coroner Patterson rapped the jury to order. The old jury was sum moned , and the coroner and the Jury went to Glonwood cemetery and viewed the body of Frederick P. Loftus , ono or the victims , which lies in a receiving vault there. Testimony uf a Contractor , The first witness was James L. Parsons , a contractor and builder , who testified that ho had examined tlio old theater last month with n view to submitting u bid for making the proposed alterations. Ho submitted a bid for the contemplated work , but failed to get tlio contract. In a subsequent examina tion of the work ho noticed that nosoiveiing had been dono. IIo would have shored the iloora from the cellar piorb up while the work was being done , if ho hud gotten the contract. When tlio witness examined the building In May ho found no evidence of any unsafe conditions. "I would consider the building at that time as absolutely safe. " In reply to Mr. Thomas' ' questions , he sail ] the structure was ample lor the accommoda tion of DOO clerks. Witness created something of a sonsatlon when ho stated that not a brick could have been moved with safety to the building un less all the floors had bcon shored up. The work could have been completed in safety hud the shoring been done. The specifications for the work did not col for the shoring of the floors , whlln It was going on. It was provided that thn eon tractor should take every precaution. From nn examination of tbo work after the catas trophe , Mr , Parsons said ho did hot consider thit it had been done properly. ' Juror Ilanvey asked bltu if he would have done It that Way hltftsolf , "Most assuredly ijot1 ' was the reply , Attorney Thomas thereupon read nlpud the specifications for tbiq worU of excavation aud underpinning , TBere was ft tafjrwu whoa , the clamo Yfft r.ictor shall bo liable for nil damage that uay bo done to the building. " Mr. Parsons did not know under whoso uporvlslon or superintendence * the work md been done. Witness had never known vork of that character to bo douo under pacifications , or upon the solo responsibility f the contractor. I'rotcftt ( ronuCaloiipl Alnwortli.

Coronqr Patterson declined to accede to , ho request , and the inquiry pioceeded. Mr. Edward ( Jlark , the architect of the : apitol , made an examination of the theater milding in 18(53 ( and again In 18S5 , and bought It safo. He would not have under taken to do the recent work without shoring. Thomas-B. Entwistlc , inspector of build ups for the district , said ho was called upon ibout live years ago to po over the building and glvo his opinion as to its safety. Ho "ound the floors and walls perfectly safo. Ho was asked if the work iu progress at ho building when it collapsed could have been done safely without shoring , and ho rc- ) licd emphatically : "No , sir ; and in my opinion that was the cause of the disaster. " Francis Sasse , the engineer of the old theater building , said lie made tlio spccillca- ions for the electric light plant. Ho was a nechanlcal steam engineer. Ho had built on archway and a seven-room dwelling , but lad no other experience in buildings. Colouel Mnsworth visited tlio building nearly every lay. So far as ho knew there was no super- ntcndcnt of the work. The witness saw no signs of shoring. At this point a recess was taken. After recess C. W. Perkins , u builder ; David Cissel. a bricklayer , and Columbus Thomas , a builder , were examined. They all agreed that the collapse was caused by the unskillful character of the work. Mr , Cissel Sftid It was aljgut the worst ho over saw. Captain Thorp of tho' "War department testified that ho had nothing to do with the preparation of tlio specifications , which were supervised by Colonel Ainsworth alono. Adjourned until tomorrow. IN A DIPLOMATIC TANGLE. Vffalrs In Samoa Causing the State Depart ment Much Trouble. WASHIXOTON , June 15. Secretary Gresham las got another diplomatic tangle on his lands. This time it is the Samoan islands. He has received advices that war is Immi nent , and that a rebellion has broken out against the existing government of King Uahotoa. Comparative quiet prevailed on , ho Islands so long as the dethroned monarch Vlatuafa was kept out of the kingdom. It appears , however , that ho has returned to Samoa for the purpose of regaining his throne. All his adherents nnu many new recruits have rallied under his standard and lave begun operations against the lowers that bo. That his following s strong and menacing is evidenced by Llio fact that thu reigning king , Malictoa , lias appealed to the representatives of the triuartito alliance to piotcct him in nccord- anco with the treaty concluded between the United States , Great Britain and Germany and assist him in driving the usurper , Mataafa , from his territory. The situation has reached n critical ctago and the president and Secretary Grcsliam nro in frequent conference ns to the policy of the government in the matter. The United States is pledged to assist In main taining the autonomy of the island , but at present is hardly in a position to do very much iu that direction. Germany is the only member of the alli ance represented at the islands by a war ship , but with the co-oporation of the repre sentatives and cltb.cns of the other govern ments , that vessel will bo sufficient to afiord ample protection to foreign Interests on the island , ovcnlf it Is not capable of entirely suppressing the rebellion. ) FKO.U TIU : LIST. Sixty-Seven Clerks Ulnohnreort from the aenernl l.nuil Olllco. WASHINGTON , Juno 15 , Today the names of sixty-seven clerks were dropped from the mils of the general land offico. In making this reduction , which was made obligatory by the legislative appropriation bill , Secre tary Smith has been guided by a desire to ralso the standard of the serviceand to that end politics have not been permitted to enter Jnto the question os to who should bo dis missed and who rotalnod. It Is known that clerks without any political aupuort what ever have been retained , while others , owing to their personal friendship and inllunnco of prominent democratic sonatots n d members of the house and others high in official Ufa have been dismissed , . The strict rule of efficiency , shaded now and then by n desire i.ot to Inlllct too great a hardship , has bcon the controlling force in making all removals. Appointed to Olllco.

Among other things the sena tor said : "In the campaign last year wo wcro told that the great question to bo sot- tied by iho people of this country was that of the tariff , and that when this was prop erly determined prosperity would bo brought ) to every homo. In Its plan the republican party took strong ground i In favor of pro tection , declaring that protection against cheap goods Imported from Europe was In tlio interest of the farmer and laborer , and In fact all classes of our people. The dome cratlc party assorted with equal emphasis that a low tariff was thu only source of pros , pority.

We then predicted that in less than twelve months the poonlo would have ample evidence of thu necessity of a speedy return to the time honored doctrine ) of bimetallism. "For centuries before the Christian era sil ver equally with gold was tlio money of all nations and continued so with slight varia tions in tlio ratio until 1873.
