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. The

[ jilckly dispersed by mounted police.
Heavy IJjtponncii of the SocIiilUt * .
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.

laidates. „

\succcss \ of the social democrats has caused a
Inrolouud sensation.

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. "

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.
An odd scqucnco of the run was noticed at
the driving park Wednesday afternoonwhere
fully live out of every six half dollars taken
in at the gate worn brand new coins that
had just been taken from some of iho banks ,
and were thus thrown into general circula
tion for the first time" by reason of this
sudden withdrawal ol Baited thousands.

Sixty-seven clerks In the general land

that on and after Juno ISO the government
would no longer require their services. This
wholesale dismissal was made necessary by
the failure of the last congress to appropri
ate sufficient money to pay thcso clerks. 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

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.

Tliero are some sixty places in the service to

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-

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.
Colonel Alnsworth submitted n letter to
ho coroner , In which ho says In part :

The colonel denies that his presence tended
o Intimidate witnessesand .states that false
evidence has bcon given which ho desires to
lave corrected , and concludes thus ;
I have no purpose of embarrassing In any
vay your Inquiry , or of having my counsel
conduct any examination not , htrlotly neoea-

mr.sue , I request your Instructions In the
ircmlses.
Would Not Grnnt AiiiMvorth'a Itciiurst.
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.

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.

hero this morning. In the afternoon the
senator ntiiirossed an open air meeting at the
court house grove ami was followed by Mr.
Dovlno. There wcro about 2oO people
present. 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. It , is true that each party pledged
Itself to bimetallism , but It was well understood -
stood by the people that both Harrison and , f
Cleveland \\ero pledged to the single gold
standard.

"Tho people's party , while taking strong
grounds on the question of national taxa
tion , asserted that the crowning evil of the
ago was the monopoly of mono.v and that
unless the system of contraction then and
now existing in this country was arrested
by the free and unlimited coinage of silver
universal bankruptcy and Industrial depres
sion would ensue. 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. During all
this time wo have abundant evidence that
the world suffered great Inconvenlenco and

tending over centuries on account of the
scarcity of moneybut thtro is no record any

"It is evident to any thoughtful man that

"The law of contraction and expansion is at

that contrails the destiny of Europe.
"I am in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of IS to

sensible und honest solution of the question ,
and I nm well satisfied that this will work
no injustice to any legitimate interest of t&o

Ho also declared In favor of government '
ownership and control of railroads , explaining -
ing that the government could obtain con
