TXtm York Banks Paying Big Premiums to

Aug. n.The overshadowing
question this morning in ilnanclnl circles
was the scarcity of currency. At many
banks it was admitted that cash payments
for largo checks ever the counters had been
suipcndcd for some days , except In cases
whore It'WAS , known that the actual cash
was necessary. In other words , the banks
used discrimination , and wliero It was
thought the tjomand for actual cash ( cur
rency ) wasr/or the purpose of hoarding , the
bank insisted on a certified check being taken.
Uomcstlc Kxrhnngn.
lh the very general collapse of the machin
ery of domestic exchange the collection of
drafts on batiks In other towns and cities
has boon managed on an unusual scheme.
Usually when a Now York bank depositor
turns in a chock drawn to his order
on an out of town bank tlio Now York
bank remits to Its own correspondent
in the same place for collection , or else sends
direct to the bank drawn upon. In both
cases out of town banks have either delayed
remitting or have neglected exchange , and
thus charging up to the Now York bank the
cost of oxchango. The city banks have ,
therefore , resorted In nn unusually largo
measure of late to direct collection through
the express companies , which make n spe
cialty ( presenting drafts direct nt distant
points ! drawing out the money and shipping
It to Now York. The cost of this transac
tlon has for a long time been materially
below the rate charged for interior ex
change.
Many curious incidents are related by the
bankers ns to the working or such collection.
Some otitsido banks have taken paiua to pay
such drafts in inconvenient currency ,
notably standard silver dollars. Ono
case Is mentioned of a country
bank on which a draft for several thousand
dollars was collected returning tlio money
in gold , ? IO ( ) In standard silver dollars and
fGOO in subsidiary coin , almost entirely
dimes , with a liberal sprinkling of Canadian
piece * . It is qulto probable , unless the
draft actually exhausted the llttlo bunk's
resources , that the country banker got the
better of its city creditors , for the loss on exchange -
change coulu hardly have exceeded the vir
tual loss on non-legal tender.
Sln l 1'Jirt with Their Honda.
Whllo the majority of savings banks of.
flclnls pcislsted today In saying that they
will not bo'temptcd to part with their gov
ernment bonds , yet a well informed minority
of them declare that it is unavoidable. A
former savings bank piesidcnt , and now the
head of u trust company which has cxtcn
slvodoalltigs withsavings bankssaid that the
sale of bonds would not bo necessary. Ho
explained as follows : "Tho savings bank
nro well prepared for the scarcity , und It is
not entirely unexpected. They have guardci
their reserves fully by the application of the
notlco rule , and previous similar experiences
go to show that the notices given will not bo
availed of. "
Ho explained by relating that when Iu
was president of a savings bank in 1873 the
notices given him iu that time called for
$000,000. 'Iho notices were for sixty days.
At the end of that time only $ ! ! 00,000 were
taken , nnd adding : "I cannot now remem
ber tbo proportion , but I do recollect d Is-
k tinctly that returns were made daily. This
shown , of course , that hoarding is going on
to enormous amounts ; and as evidence of
this , I may repeat what a Louisville banker
toldmo , yesterday. Ho said that the .Louis-
villa oafo deposit had never done a good
business and was constantly advertising
space. But since this period ot currency
I'amtno the institutions have not a box to
sparo. Another amusing Incident is that
which took place at a local safe deposit. A
man who bad closed his account , SU2.00 , at a
savings bank , put it iu a safe deposit , paying
for his llttlo hole , $ T > :
htoppml Shipping Currency.
The banks hero have shut down on
the shipment of currency to the interior.
The scarcity is so pronounced that
agents are bidding n premium of $10
per $1,000 today. Institutions with largo
pay rolls have been compelled to resort
largely to the use of silver. Oni bank is
reported to have paid 1 pur cent for all the
currency received at a big retail establish
ment. Thobanki , request depositors to use
checks us much as possible , and whore cash
is required nro paying a large portion in
silver dollars. The supply of bills at the
subtrcasury Is growing limited and has
causodarofus.il on the part of the sub-
treasurer to receive cheeks from the banks
in payment for ; silver dollars nnd currency
for shipment and pay roll uso. The sub-
treasury has collected its checks through
ttio clearing house. An order of the sub-
treasurer today that the banks must deposit
cash against the withdrawal of currency and
silver is one of tlio results of the conference
yesterday between Carlisle and Assistant
Subtroasurcr Jordan.

Wlmt the Colorado IMItor Ha * o8ajr Upon
the Huljftct-
CmoAoo , Aug. 3. In nn Interview this
ovoulng Hon. Thorn * * M. Patterson , son of
Colorado , said : "Tonight's dlspatcho * glvo
the denial lo all charges made by the single
? old standard press to the affect that silver
Is an unpomilar money nnd that it lies hid
In the treasury at Washington without any
demand. United States Treasurer Morgan
has given out that no more silver certificates
will bo Issued by the Treasury department
nt present , as the limit prescribed by law
has been reached. What do moans Is that
there are .19,000,000 standard sliver dollars ,
and certificates representing them , in active
circulation doing the business of every sectli
tlon of the country. There is not a silver
dollar loft In tha treasury that can ho Issued -
sued , because there are silver certificates
already i&siioil and outstanding representing
every ono 0T Ihem. The Treasury depart
ment also says the reduction iu the number
of silver dollars in the treasury nas been
brought about by recent largo demands for
these dollars from the south to move Its
crops and pay oil its farm hands.
Ooinnncl for Silver Ccrtlllcutoi.
"Thoro is also , according to the same dis
patches , nu Immense demand in New York
for silver certificates of small denomina
tions , which tho-Trcasury department Is unable -
able to supply for the same reason that pre
vents it sending the silver dollars to the
south. These statements carry with them
two lessons , ono showing that people are Jn
nowisi ) nvcrso to silver money or its ropro-
sonsatlvc , the silver certificate , and that
owing to the process of withdrawal by timid
money owners there Is a dearth of currency
of small denominations , which might bo
readily removed if the Treasury department
would but coin into silver dollars some part
of the largo amouiit bf silver bullion now in
the treasury.
"Is It not a glaring shame that the south
should bo seeking In vain for silver dollars
to move .its crops , and the eastern cities
should ho suffering for small denominations
of silver certificates for their needed com
merce , which Is denied them , whllo there
are 1SU,000,000 of ounces of silver bullion in
the treasury which the department has a
perfect right to coin Into silver dollars and
put In circulation either in the form of cer
tificates or coin ? This extraordinary fact
should ho well considered by southern mem
bers of congress uoforu they succumb to the
demands of President Cleveland's reference
to anti-silver legislation.
"Tho same dispatches tell us that the
? 100,000,000 of the gold reserve has been
fully restored , with but llttlo danger of Its
being reduced below that amount in the
future ; also that 0,000,000 or
$8,000,000 of gold lately arrived hero
or Is on its vmy frum Europe
f It was the silver purchasing clause of the
Sherman net that drove gold from the south
n month ago , it must bo the operation of the
same law that brings it back. There is no
ground for cither claim. The gold goes and
comes under laws and through transactions
In which the Sherman law plays no appreci
able part.
If CnrlMlo Would Only I.lflton.
"If the Treasury department was not so
hostile to silver and determined that it
should bo given no chance until atter con
gress has acted upon the Sherman law ,
Secretary Carlisle would listen to the cry
that is coming up from the south for moro
silver dollars , and supply its wants by coinIng -
Ing the treasury bullion , which ho has a per
fect right to do. If ho would do this It is
confessed by the Treasury department it
would relieve the present demand for money
in the south , and which it is anxious to ob
tain. "

WIIKKLS AGAINST WIIICKI.S.
ttlrootori of the Ilonclitcr Club Take Smn-

The Ilrst fruits of the case of Two Wheels
against Four Wheels , that has been agitating
the members of the Gentlemen's Roadster
club , wore harvested at a meeting of the
directors last evening when William Snyder
was expelled from membership "for conduct
liable to endanger thu welfare of the club. "
A resolution preferring a number of charges
had boon presented at a previous mooting ,
but the sentiment of thb directors , after
hearing the ovidonc'o. was that thov were
not sustained , and thpt expulsion could only
tproperly bo effeotctljuudor section 20 of the
constitution , whicljr.ovlao3 ] for removal for
the cause outlined UtMVo.

SALVINI'S Ol'HELLO.
One I'vrformiinoo Unit Koached thn Croat
Antor'H Illfli Stnndtird.
It is very solilom that I liavo attained
batisfuction with inydolf in that role ,
writes ) Sulvini in the Century. I uriy
say that in the thousands of tiinoa that I
have played it I can count on tlio finjjors
of ono hand tho.se when I have said to
myself : "I can do no hotter ; " and ono of
these times was when I guvo it at the
Tcatro del Florontini in Naploy. It
faeoired that evening as if un electric
current connected the artist with tlio
public. Every sensation of mine was
transfused into the audience. It re
sponded inbtuntanoouwly to my senti
ment , and manifested its perception of
my meanings by n low murmuring' , by a
sustained tremor. There WIIB no o -
easion for reflection , nor did the people
seek to discuss mo ; nil were at once in
unirion and accord. Actor , Moor and
audience felt the sumo impulse , were
moved ns one soul.
I cannot describe Uio cries of en
thusiasm which isiie.l ( from the throats
of these thousands of parsons in oxhultut
tion , or the delirious ) doinontttrutioiiB
which accompanied these Hconoa of love ,
jealousy and fury , and when the shock
ing catastrophe came , when the Moor ,
recognizing that lie lias been deceived ,
cuts short his days , so as not to htirvivo
the anguish of having uluin thu guiltless
Desdemona , a chill ran through every
vein , and as if the amlienco had been
stricken dumb , ton bOuomlH went by in
absolute nilonce. Then came a tempest
of crie.s and plaudit * and counties biiin-
monsus before the curtain. When the
demonstration vms unded the uudicncn
passed out amid an indistinct murmur of
voices , and collected in groupu f Jlvo ,
eight , or twelve everywhere in the
neighborhood of the theater ; then ,
united ns if by nmgnotiu force , they
came back into the theater , donmmlud
the relighting of the footlights , and in
sisted that 1 should como on the stage
'
'again , though I was half undronsod , to
receive a now ovation. This unparalleled
and spontaneous demonstration it ) ainong
the most choribhod memories of my
career , for it ranks among nuc.li as an
artist rarely obtains.

CHICAOO , Aujr. n. [ Special Telegram to
nn HKB.J Some of Iho inily managers have
jeon down on Midway plalsanco. They told
their experience at the board mooting this
afternoon. They were not pleasant experi
ences. In fact , the women went so far as to
say several harsh things concerning certain
features of the street nations , ami as they
told them they wept. If some of tha moro
determined can bring It about the council of
administration Will before
aitl IOUR receive peti
tions , In the names of wives and mothers rep
resented on the board , requesting that the
objectionable theater bo shut down forthwith -
with nnd not reopened whllo the fair con-
Unties.
The matter of the pl.ilsancc was Intro
duced , In nn unusually tame session by a call
,
for tbo report of a committee appointed two
weeks ago to send out cards to tbo women
311 the Midway plalsanco for the purpose of
Inviting thorn to the Woman's building.
They were to bo shown Its beauties by mem
bers j , of the board.
The committco had made no report and
had taken no action. The women needed no
report to sot them talking. Isabella Boochor
Hooker was the first to speak. She re
viewed oi'lolly the character of the famous
street and said in conclusion : "I think wo
liad bolter invlto that quarter , not In bulk ,
as has boon suggested , but very much in
detail. "
"Do you mean to say , " cried ono of the
woman , jumping to her foot as Mrs. Hooker
sat down , "that any woman has fallen so
low that the board of lady managers will
not hold out a helping hand to her ! "
Shocked thn
This brought Mrs. Darker to the platform.
I will take second place to no ono In mis
sionary work. " she said. "I wont down to
the 1'litsanco yesterday. Impelled by

I shall most certainly oppose Inviting the
women who perform lit the theaters there

endure the thought that your sons and your
daughters should witness such spectacles 1
1 consider it our duty , r.ithor than to enter
tain those people , to enter a protest against
thorn and demand that the places wiiuro
they perform should bo closed.
"Appoint mo as a committee and I will go
and plead with those women at whatever
cost , but 1 strongly object to the members of
the board putting thimiselvi's on record ns
entertaining the women who so irrosilv vie

plaisiince. "
Then Mrs. Barker sat down and cried as if
her heart would break. Airs , Felton has
tened to lend her moral support. "I want to
say , " BhosalU , "that 1 went with Mrs. Dar
ker into these'places , impelled like her by a
high sense of duty. Kcg.irdlng our experi
ences I can only add that I had no idea wo

Mrs. Shoppard'a testimony was on the
other slilo of the question. "I don't know
where Mrs. Darker and Mrs. Felton wont , "
she said. "I have been on the plalsanco a
great deal , mid have never found anything
disgusting , but , on tlio contrary , much that
uns interesting and fascinating. "
Mrs. E.igle , too , stood up for the plaisanco.
"I tin.vo been most everywhere on the
plniswiiro , " she suid , "and I have not yet
been frightened away from anything. Perhaps -
haps I may be , bu so far as my observation
goes I do not coincide with the views ex
pressed by those \vhoio sense of duty took
them to the Oriental theaters. 1 should like
to ask whore they went. "
Mrs. Fi'lton hastened to Inform Mrs.
Eagle that the self-appolntcci committco of
investigation went to the Egyptian , Algerian ,
Persian and Turkish thoators. Mrs. Felton
coupled Uio infovmatlon with a resolution to
the effect that the council of administration
bo requested on the part of thu board , to in
vestigate the mutter.
Want Ilin I'lHoi'H Cloxml.
Mrs. Wise added an amendment requesting
the council of administration to
shut down the objectionable places.
As the discussion had bcim en
tirely formal , however , neither resolution
or amendment was recordoil , ami further
debate wna called off by a motion to
adjourn. Mrs. Charles Price was In the
chair , Mrs. Palmer luving left it shortly
alter the subject was introduced. The only
part she took in the discussion was to
laugh with the rest when Mrs. Darker al
luded to her "sense of duty. "
"I'm afraid wo'vo all oeen there , Mrs.
Darker , " sun saMd.
It is nol Improbable that a crusade will
now bo made by tlio director general on Mid
way plalsance , and if there aroanyoffenslvo
exhibitions there they will bo promptly
mopped. The council of administration has
authorized the director genur.il to Invcstl-
gate the common reports and take any nec
essary action ultliotit , furtlior notice.
There am one or two dances on thn Mid
way which have excited a good deal of com
ment. Thu dance in tlio U.iiro villagu Is per
mitted by contract , but the night features
have aroused the greatest objection.
