Dn.NVEit , July 10. The panic Is on In this
city tills morning with renewed vigor. As a
result the old German National bank , with
n reputation for stability of twenty years
standing , the equally reputable Stnto
National , and the extremely strong Peoples'
National failed this morning.
All night dcjwsitors stood In line In front
of the C ! on ii a n National , and by 0 o'clock
thcro was ono long sea of faces
stretching down the strcut. At Uio opposite
corner , r/hcro the State National hat * so
long done business , there was also a crowd
of anxious depositors. Hero the people
wcro relieved of tholr doubts when at 0
o'clock notlco was posted on the door that
the hank would not open , bccauso of a lack
of ready cash.
1'iiuaud n nutromlne Scone.
At the German National , just before open
ing time , a notlco was posted saving the
doors wore closed temporarily. This notlco
caused a distressing scene. Men and women
down the long line broke out in tears and
wailing. The rim on all the remain
ing banks in the city was renewed.
licllablo people , however , say thcro will bo
no more suspensions. 1'rcsldcnt McNeil of
the State bank says his bank has paid out
over SWO.IXN ) in the last thirty days. Ho de
clares that the assets are twice us largo as
the liabilities.
The cashier of the German National says
Inability to place securities and failure to
call In loans caused tlio suspension of his
bank. Thcro has been n constant drain on
the ban its for lxty days. Over ? t , 000,000
lias been paid depositors. The bank
expected ! 00,000 from thn cast
this morning , but it failed to
come. Tin ; bamc's capital and surplus Is
if > 00,000. It is expected to resume. The
assets exceed greatly the liabilities.
The Peoples National closed at 11 o'clock.
The notice on the door said tlio stringency
in the money market wan so severe that it
was impossible longer to withstand the
storm. The statement published tno l-tli
showed less than fM.OOO In cash , with de
posits subject to check of fJlU.OOO. The
capital of the bank was ? GOO,000.
Bank Examiner , Adams this morning took
charge ol the Union National , Commercial
National , National Dank of Commerce , State
National and German National.
A number of minor commercial concerns
went under this morning. .
Ylrluitn , UnhrhlltMl
Senator Teller , in an interview upon the
financial situation m this city , Kays :
There is no ono reason to which the
trouble can bo charged. It is partly silver ,
but mbro to the general depression affecting
the entire country. The bank failures yes
terday were unwarranted and directly
chargeable to people who became fright
ened , panio stricken at a shadow.
No banks In the United Sates are in bet
ter condition than tnoso of this city.
There's nothing less fair than to blame all
our ills to silver. It is much bettor to blame
some silver speeches. Such unbridled
language and excited talk us the press dis
patches brought while I was east can have
nothing but the most injurious action on our
cases. "
Teller expressed the belief that the Sher
man law would bo repealed , but" not
without a substitute of greater benefit to
silver. Ho referred to Acting Director of
the Mint Preston as a "young sprig" and
"oflicious clerk , " because of his attempt to
drawdown the price of silver , ana declared
that for n great government like this to "go
pottering about for a Job lot of silver is con
temptible and inexcusable. "

The Rank panic has ceased. The run on
the national banks had entirely subsided by
noon and at the closing hour , a o'clock , there
wore not halt a dozen people in or around any
of thcsu Institutions and the streets had the

yesterday. The weak banks have all bee
closed and there can be but little doubt of
the soundness of the llvu that have with
stood the terrible storm of yesterday and
today.
J. A. Thatcher , president of the Denver
National and also of the clearing house , tills
evening stated to the Associated press that
ho anticipated no more bank failures. "Those
that hail kept open passed through the
clearing house In good snap ? and showed
that they wcro in excellent condition for the
future. A hasty examination of the affairs
of the closed banks had been made , and. to
the credit of their oftlrers , it can bo said that
in no Instance had there been found the
slightest dishonesty or crooked work. I
am contldcnt that If the financial condition
of the country brightens a little they
will all resume and that every depositor will
bo paid dollar for dollar. "

of yesterday rulcd-for the llrnt thirty min
utes on thu Stock exchange today. In that
tlmu prices swung entirely around the cir
cle opening at a sharp advance over
last night's closing , then camu a
slump that rattled values down 2 to fi
points , then another r.illy that carried thorn
up about as iffuch. The usual forces governIng -
Ing prices seemed out of kilter , and instead
of orderly fluctuations the quotations wcro
wildly erratic. The utterly demoralized
market at the close yesterday of course in-
llUunccd prices today. Hut the fact that no
failures occurred on account of the quiet
panic yesterday made a inoro confident feel
ing , and London quotations for American
stocks were 1 to 'J points above closing prices
hero. Again the tremendous liquidation
of yesterday , It was feared , would result in
the announcement of some over night em
barrassment , but the bad news In the morn
ing papers was tlio same as that known yes
terday. London ailvieus were that the mar
ket there was boomlngaud bears scrambling
to buy back short stocks. A good dcaU of
inquiry has been going on around
the street as to the heavy sell
ing of American stocks in London , and it
1ms developed that in many cases the stocks
sold there wcro on ordersi cabled from Now
York by a bear syndicate In order to create
the Impression that there wits a panic in
American securities thero.
Worked l > y n Young Operntor.
After 12 n better feeling prevailed. The
dash against the market in the morning was
engineered by u young operator who
has como to the front very rapidly
of late and who Is credited with
making large money on the short sldo.
When It was discovered that the selling was
principally for professional account and not
a continuation of yesterday's liquidations , an
easier feeling prevailed Kuassurlng ad
vices from London and Denver also lutd a
good effect. London bought some round
amounts of stock hero , and commission
houses report inquiry from out of town
clients for some hotter class stocks.and money
was-easy ut 5@0 on call. The tlmo money
and prime mercantile paper markets con
tinued dull. The subtreasury will send $250-
000 In currency , In lives , tens and twenties ,
to several banks in the west toduy , and also
pay the clearing house 100,000 in gold in
settlement of its balance Among the banks
the feeling was generally that nothing worse
will happen hero. The St. Paul & Omalia
company today is paying dividends of ! %
per cent on preferred stock duo July 20.
Stocks opened better , and advances of
Ji'OIH immediately took place , but later the
improvement was partially lost. The market
continued weak for some time. Manhattan

The reduction in sterling exchange to

The bears jumped on the market again
after 1 o'clock , running from group to group ,
offering stocks below the market price.

A Now Vork banking house received a
practical Illustration this week of the dis
trust in Europe of American securities and
the fear that this country may go on a
silver basis. In its foreign mall it received
$ .M,000 ) of United States 4 per cent bonds ,
the European owners of which did not euro
to hold them so lomr as there was danger
that payment of interest and principal
might have to bo accepted in silver. It wa
said there had been other cases of this sort ,
and that it had enabled national banks to se
cure United States 4 per cent bonds recently
at a phenomenally low point.
A well known active broker today , discuss
ing the situation , said ho had noticed one
unusual circumstance recently. Tha was
the large amount of actual currency that had
been received In his office for margins and
the purchase of stocks from occasional cus
tomers and In some cases from strangers.
Usually such payments are made by checks
or drafts of some kind , but In numerous
cases this week thn actual cash was put up.
In nearly every case In which inquiry was
made It was ascertained that the money had
been drawn out of bank some weeks ago and
hold until the opportunity to Invest In stocks
or bonds arose. The currency was mostly in
$100 and $500 bills.
Situation In riillndnlpliln.
Tlio situation in Philadelphia remains
practically unchanged. Now York exchange
is only obtainable hero at from &l to i per
* ll > 00 , Some of the Now York banks which
have large balances to their credit in the
Philadelphia banks , are charging these
bunks I ) per cent for the usa of the money.
If the Philadelphia banks object to paying the
Interest and say they cannot remit tonight ,
the Now York banics lend out the money In
Philadelphia. They do this without causing
the Philadelphia banks to encroach on tholr
surplus of capital , as clearing house loan
certificates are In use thoro.

correspondent in Montevideo telegraphs that
the Brazilian insurgent vessel Italia arrived
there tonitrht in charge of tlio Uruguayan
gunboat General It evicra , which captured
her near Maldonada , Uruguay. Colonel
Pmtos and twenty other revolutionists
landed in Molcndo before the Itiilla was cap
tured. Particulars of the operations aroused
Hlo Grande do Sul before the ilight nntl sub
sequent capture of the insurgent squadron
wcro told , by the captain of the General
Hovlora.
Ho says that on July 8 , just as ho was
about to leave Hlo Grnndo do Sul with his
gunboat to carry arms to the government
forces In Porto Alegro , ho saw Colonel Pluto
and a body of armed men board the Jupiter ,
which was commanded by Admiral Wandcl-
kollc and used as thu llagship of the Insur

doubtedly recruits for the Juplter'and the
insurgent gunboat Camocino. A shell was
Urea at tlio Jupiter from the fort

shell struck a beam and killed three men.
The captain said that on July III the Jupiter
was outside the bar below Hlo Grande do
Sul end was being hotly pursued by the
Brazilian gunboat Camcna , At that time
the Camona was flying the revolutionary

Hour Atlmlrnl Mnrklitm'i ToUlnony In
llio Vlctorln Court M.trtlHl.
VAI.ETTA , July < )9. ) ru ? . r Admiral Markham -
ham of the Camuonlown was the first wit
ness today before the court martial Investi
gating the Vletorlii-Campcrdown disaster.
His official dispatches to the Admiralty
court , rcjiortln the fact , and details of the
disaster were read and ho had nothing to
ndd to them. When tlio signal Vice Admiral
Tryon hoisted on tlio Victoria , ordering six
cabla lengths distance , was read , Admiral
Markham said to hM Hag lieutenant : "That
Is impossible , since it is an impracticable
cable maneuver. "
Roar Admiral Markham further said that
ho had conferred with his Hag lieutenant
and captain and that both concurred In his
assumption that the A'letorlii was to pass
round on the outside of the Cnmpordown.
Had this assumption been founded on fact ,
the maneuver would hiivo been attended by
no danger. Ho discovered that his assump
tion was wrong.and ho watched tlio Victoria's
helm signals with the closest attention.
The rear ml mini 1 stated that ho was
cognizant of Vice Admiral Tryoii's memo
randum In regard to discretionary obedience
of orders when strict obedience would entail
disaster.
In reply to further questions naked him
Hear Admiral Markham stated that when ho
saw that the Victoria's helm signals were
not lowered ho ordered Captain Jolinstono to
revcrso the Caniucrdown's starboard screw
and to close the watertight doors in the col
lision bulkheads. Ho communicated by Cap
tain Jolinstono to tho.proper odlcers and the
orders wcro promptly obeyed. Soon after
ward Hear Admiral Markham saw that a
collision was Inevitable and the order to go
astern with both engines was signaled to
< hc engine room. When the signal Hying on
the Victoria was hauled down , the Camper-
down was powerless to avoid a collision.
Rear Admiral Markham also said ho had
never seen the maneuver signaled from the
A'lctorla performed before. ' 'If Vice Ad
miral Tryon had circled around mo1 ho said ,
"it would have preserved tlio order of the
fleet , and this , I thought , might possibly
bo his intention. I nm sure that 1 could have
done nothing to prevent the collision after
the Victoria and Campprdown had turned
the points with their bows on each other.
If I had gone astern with both screws the
Edinburgh would have rammed mo. It is
diftlcult to say whether or not
the signal not to send the boats
to the Victoria caused a groatcr
fatality. Vice Admiral1 Tryon wanted to
steer toward land and tlo | boats would have
hampered him. BesldOd , the boats were got
in readiness notwithstanding the signal. "
The rear admiral fi/rther / said ho had
often performed ovolutibns without perceiv
ing their object. Ho had never been caused
to doubt their safety , as'ho ' had Implicit con
fidence in Vice Admiral ft'ryon.
Flag Lieutenant Bradshaw of the Camper-
down corroborated the ; testimony of Hear
Admiral Maricham.
Captain Jolinstono of the Campcrdown
also gave testimony similar to that of the
rcur admiral. Ho thought it cxtromelv
dangerous to act contrary to u commander's
orders for a maneuver which had been
carefully considered fand worked out
mathematically. Hear Admiral Markham's
interpretation of Tryonte'-ordcr seemed the
only reasonable one. 11,0- ' believed that the
leader of the ilrst division had the power to
prevent the accident'by reversing her helm
in time.

published statement that Franco has tele

mcnt , to bo complied with within twenty-
four hours.
PAUIS , July 19. Figaro says that the
terms of the French ultimatum to Slam demand -
mand that Slam evacuate the loft bank of
the Mcklong river ; give guarantees for the
faithful performance of treaty obligations ,
and pay indemnity for .outrages on the
French. As Franco h already in possession
of the lower Moklotig , she will control nearly
the entire river. Siam concedes the de
mands. This is a decided extension of
French claims toward the west , as the
mountain range heretofore the boundary
of the French claims llcs far east of the
Moklong river. Tlio present claim taKes in
the western bank of the river , giving Franco
both banks and the entire control of it
for most of its length , practically coming to
the bonier of British territory.
Besides inn Icing thn Mekong the limit of
the French possessions , France claims all
the islands on the Mekong. Indemnities
will be claimed on accountof the Grusgurm ,
Champonos , the French land syndicate of
Upper Paos , and Baraton , a distiller of
Bangkok ; also an Indemnity of 40,000 for
the sinking of the J. B. Say.

The French government will demand as

Trouble is expected by the pcoplo at any
moment. A miner said on the street this

company's strip pit No. 47. They were
stopped by Undor-sheriff Bout Doug

ing. At the works was n largo and well
armed posse. The strikers lined up at the
edge ot the promises and Superintendent
Cockertll consented to allow a committee of
reasonable size to go up to the works and try
to persuade Ills men to quit. The committee
used every argument possible , but the men
reluscd to stop.
From 47 the strikers marched to
the J. H. DurkooCoal company's slope , north
east of towu , where a similar scene was
enacted.
The men next went to the Granat strip
pit , on the Cherokee Xlne company's laud In

strikers against trespassing. Those men
also refused to go out , as did Granat's men
nt another pit cast of town , which was next

From there the miners marched to
Clemens' strip pit on the Keith & Perry
Coal company's ground , southeast of town.
Clemens' men gave no satisfaction , further
than a prouiiso to confer with the other
strippers and act as they might do.
The strikers then took up the line of
march to Scammon. They wore orderly and
quiet throughout.
Arriving at Scammon , the strikers were
refused admission to thu owners property ,
but were allowed to send a committee to
talk with the men. The men at work re

Torr.rcA , July 19. Attorney General Llttlo
has under consideration the question of the
right of railroad companies under their
charters to mine coal or own stock in coal
mining companies. The question was sug
gestcd to him a few days ago by friends of
the strikers of the Cherokee district. As
the state administration is pledged to befriend
friend the strikers so far as the law will per
mil , ho Intimates that if lie comes to the
conclusion after an examination of the law
and the decision of the courts on the subject
that the railroads have no right to mine coal
or own stock in coal mining companies , ho
will proceed against them. Tno strikers
claim that the railroads are behind the mine
owners in the light and if tholr influence
could be destroyed or removed the miners
could easily win. They and tticir friends nv <
urging the attorney general to proceed in
the courts on this line If ho can possibly dose
so , and it Is not improbable that ho will take
the stop to satisfy tholr demands , oven if ho
bo not satisfied that the case will bo
sustained.
The papers on file In the office of the secretary -
rotary of state show that the mining compa
nies wliich are controlled by railroads are cor
porations entirely distinct from the railway
corporations.

and hoatjil debate a resolution was adopted
declaring that the conference was opposed
to the reduction. No decision was reached
today on the question of a strike if the mine
owners persist in their Intention to miiko

American crop Is 11)0,000,000 ) bushels short , as

KANSAS CITV , July ID. Kansas City , Kan. ,
the llttlo city across the state line from

ono of Its most prominent attorneys by ono
of Its most prominent bankers.

tional bank of Medicine Lodge , Kan. , shot
and killed Benjamin H. Johnson , ono of the
most prominent ot the rlshu yoi.n ; tiir-
noys of Kansas ,
i
The shooting took place about 1' ' o'clock
this evening. Llttlo , In company with
United States Commissioner Hanks , was
walking down Minnesota avenue , the prin
cipal street of town. When thoyappronchcd
Connoloy's drug store , Mr. Llttlo wai seen
to walk In advance of Mr. Hanks , Mr.
Johnson was sitting bench In
on a front of i
the drug store with a number of frlomK
Mr. Little hastened up to him and with an !
oath exclaimed : "You shan't hound mo any |
more. " Then he
deliberately drew a re
volver from a pocket , and , pointing it at
Johnson , Ilred , The bullet struck Johnson
on the left side and caused instant death. I
llo fell to the sidewalk and Llttlo fcro
clously Jumped upon the prostrate man and
beat him repeatedly over the head with the
butt of his weapon. Thou ho coolly arose
and , explaining Ills last action , said to the
crowd which had gathered , "I was afraid I
had not killed the scoundrel. "
Little gave litmsolf up to tin ) police and Is
now in Jail. The eauso of the tragedy Is not
known dollnitely. Johnson's friends say it
was duo to a financial dlnlctilty between the
two men and Little's friends say there was a
woman In the case , the facts of which fully
Justify the shooting. Mr. Little himself will
say nothing.
Little and Johnson wcro intcrostcd in n
new coal company that was recently organ
ized nt Huntsvillc , Mo. Its affairs became
tangled up , and It is said that Johnson was
responsible for Little losing considerable
money in the venture , and that Llttlo took
his revenge In the shooting.
Johnson leaves a young wife and baby. He
was prominent In the society of Kansas City ,
Kan. , and was a prominent Knight of Pyth
ias. Tlio murder has caused great excite
ment , and thcro is some talk of lynching by
Uio hotheads. It is not believed , however ,
that violence will bo attempted. Neverthe
less the jsil in Kansas City , Kan. , in which
Llttlo is confined , Is being strongly guarded
tonight.

morning called to a number of complaints of
postmasters which have appeared In the
newspapers , reflecting upon the Postonico de
partment because of noncouiplianco with
their requests In the mutter of allowances
for letter carriers , etc. Mr. Jones said a ,
large number of offices throughout the
country were actually In great need of addi
tional carriers and other facilities for carry
ing on the work of the oll'.co , and while it
would afford the department pleasure to
comply with these requests , yet , us a matter
of fact , It was powerless to do so. owing to
tlio insufficient appropriations. Last year
the appropriation , which should have been
increased in proportion to the increasing
volume of postal business , was increased
only $ , -)00.000 ) , which was $ l.r > 0,000 less than
the increase allowed for the previous fiscal
year. The department , while thus hampered
by short aupropriations , will try to do the
best possible with these in hand without
favor or discrimination.

Judge No. 1 refuses to surrender his cominls-
sion and Is now holding court , while Judge
No. 2 Is there and tries the same cases , both

they will stand by the man they olcctod ,
and that If Governor Jones sends his militia
there as soon as they are gone ho will hold
court again.
Cedar county is n Locke county and has all

The decision reached yesterday by the
presidents and general managers of No-
hraska roads relative to the maximum rat
bill was not unexpected by the representa
tives of the roads In interest , although the
Hurllngton , Missouri Pacific and Hock Island
had hoped to reconcile differences botwoou
the systems and light the bill from the bo-
ginning. Thu pressure , however , was too
strong and so the other roads caino to the
opinion of the Klkhorn and Union Pacific
that the penalty clauses wore too severe to
bo lightly put aside , and the bill In conso-
nucnco will bo put In effect August 1 ,
Tuesday the ofllclals of the Union Pa
cific , Uurlington and Klkhorn received telegram -
gram from Chicago to cancel alt Nebraskiv
tariffs , now in effect and snlmtuto thorofor

on the 1st proximo , cororboratlng the tale-
gram published by Tnu UIK that the roiuli
had agreed to publish a new tariff In con
formity with the bill.
Mr. A. II. Merchant , assistant freight
agent of the Klklinrn , In speaking ot tlio do-
cislon , said that It was not unexpected by
any moans , It having been the dcsiro of the
Kllchorn ' Valley system to put In the now
tariff's from the beginning. " The bill , how
ever , " said Mr. Moivh.uit , "is full ot tech
nical errors , as thu public will soon find out
when the now tariffs are published.
Under the bill we are compelled
to haul packages that will roach
the fraction of a cent in charges , hardly
compensating for the way bill. Of eotirso
this will play some havoc with express com
panies , as heretofo'-o thu mit.imutii rate has
been 23 cents no matter.how small the ship
ment.
Mnr Kvtnhllidi nil Arbitrary.
"What action the companies will toke
as to long and short
distance I cannot nay.
although 1 Imagine an arbitrary will bo sat
up equalizing rates so that the roads having
the lumr haul will bo able to still compete
for business. Under the Iowa law , however ,
this is impossible , and the road having ths
longest mileages to terminal points goes out
of business at those points , wliich , of eonrso.
gives a monopoly to the road having the short
haul. It will lake several months before the
tarlll's are complete , the Intention of the guu >
eral managers no doubt being to put in tin )
rates and then line up later. "
Charles J. Lane , division freight agent of
thu Union Pacilic , in speaking'of the blllj
said that hereafter the railroads would have

effect that the bill is to be put In force , t
do not know yet whether Lincoln or Omaha
is to be made the basing rate , a vital ques
tion that is still loft for settlement by the
presidents and general managers. Tha
figures , however , in this office have been
prepared on the Dnsis that Omaha takoi tha
differential , in which case , third , fourth nnj
fifth class freight will bo raised considerably
from Lincoln. It is too early , however , to
