Suspended national and savings banks each show nn excess - cess of assets over debts. Exports of wheat arc unusually heavy this vveok , the total for seven days being fi,0'J2- 000 bushels , ngalnst percent less In the week a year ngo. Stocks of wheat In the United States , Canada nnd afloat for Euro pean ports equaled 1M , 000,000 bushels , against from 53,000.000 to 83,000.000 bushels or moro on like periods In preceding yoars. Wheat prices reacted nfter the now "lowest on record" made this week , but cereals , hog products , live stock , wool , cotton , coffco and almost nil staples are weak with it down ward tendency. Jobbers have to contend with n desire by country merchants to can cel orders , and at n number of western cen- ' te'rs the volume of general trndo Is about one-half that of n year ago , while total wages paid in Industtlal lines til like points are similarly reduced In volume. Chicago believes liquidation In grain and provisions is over nnd that freer exports of the latter will result. Chicago Backers nnd grain shippers having- been unable to sell their Now York exchange arc ordering tholr currency to pay for stuff shipped direct by express , thus doing uwny with banks. At Now York credit of Doth banks and commercial Interests Is unimpaired , but actual money is scnrco nnd commands a pre mium. Thu arrlvnl of gold In transit Is ex- pooled to clear the atmo phcro and relieve pressure. Demands for actual currency from nil quarters on Now York nro pressing. The scarcity of small bills and of silver dollars lars Is a feature. Banks are generally rc- ' fustns or complying only partially with requests for largo sums. Out side savings banks and manufacturers ruqulilng currency nro obtaining some amounts through dealers in bullion , pre miums of onc-oighth of 1 to 3 per cent being paid for notes and gold. The Now York subtreasury is obtaining gold certificates largely In exchange for notos. thereby re leasing gold hold against certificates , so that the free gold In the treasury is now $100- 000,000 , the legal tender reserve fund being thus restored. The decline In exchange rates , duo to foreign buying on the recent break in wheat and securities , , was aggra vated by the collnpso In provisions , and re sulted in h.avy engagements of gold in Eu rope. The total amount of gold now in transit is about 513,500,000 , mainly In Ameri can coin. Of this , $1,500,000 was taken for Chicago account and { SOO.OOO for Boston. Actual receipts of gold at Now York this week were # 1.000,000 , principally from the " "West Indies. _ SKNATOU ALLISON'S VIKWS. n * Fnrors the Ilopenl of n Portion of the . Sherman I.ntv.

It is In the solution of the question of the nation's welfare that iho people are Interested now and they demand to know how every public man tauds on this ques tion and what the tendencies of parties are concerning it. " "Docs the declination of Governor Boles mean defeat for the democracy of lown ? " "Ho was their strongest man , but no demo crat can carry lown this year.

As soon after con gress moots as it becomes practicable , Mr. IJland , the IcSder of the silver forces in tbo house , will introduce a bill embodying the views of the silver men. It will provide for the repeal of the Sherman purchasing act and substitute therefor the free coinage of silver at the present ratio of 10 to 1. "That , " said Mr. Dland , "wilt bo the ground upon which wo will make the light , although there has been no dollnltoplanagrccdupon. " Ho recognized thnt men could honestly differ as to the ratio , but that was a matter that should bo settled in the party itself. Uy the use of both gold and sllv.orns inonoy at n parity the dtmocratlo partyt 9duld not differ. If a compromise measure increasing the rntlo was reached , he said , ho saw no reason why the present dollar should not uo kept In circulation as it was now. Ho pro posed , however , with all his power to resist any Increase in the ratio. . , Arbitrary and Unwilled For.11- ' The attitude of the troaVliry department In refusing to buy silver wasarbltrarjr&nd uncalled for , Mr. IJland s.ild , ibut there was no ground for the talk that the secre tary could bo Impeached. The law gave him the discretion and ho was exorcising it , and that warono of the mistakes of the law. as ho looked it , which vuii full pf Mistakes. Ho warned friends of silver oh this very point when the bill came up for considera tion in the hoiiso. The Bland- Allison act was superior In that rcsucct , in that it did not giyo the Rocrotary the power , but requlied him to pnruhiUq a specific amount. If the United States , Mexico ice and South American countries , together with tno countries of Asia on our west , were to agree upon a common ratio , Mr. Uland thought , wo would have all the trade wo wanted and would thereby force Europe to como to the use of silver as a money. Mr. Bland said that ho had not. scon the speaker , and when it was suggested to 'htm that some of his friends ih the Cast would bo glad to see him off the committee on coln- aire ho only smiled and said they could not ; , at any rate , run him oft the floor of congress. The chttioplon of silver declared that there would be a bitter tight against' any attempt to change the rules so that a cloture provision might be incorporated. Air. Henderson' * IMiiu. Representative Henderson of North Carolina lina has a plan for the readjustment of the silver question that ho holds out to bo satis factory to the persons who wish to see the democratic platform declarations carried Into effect without creating divisions in the party. As the platform calls for the equal treat ment. of gold and silver , and as some demo crats do not deem it safe to provide for the frco coinage of silver , ho would withdraw that privilege from gold and provide for the coinage of both metals en account of the gov ernment exclusively. This might bo accom plished , he thinks , by passing a bill requir ing the absolute purchase of a certain pro portion of each metal each month and the coinage of all purchased. Congress might , from lime to time , change this proportion as the needs of the country seemed to require , nnd thus adjust the circulation to the de mands. Representative Outhwalto ot Ohio is ono of the few western men who declares him self in favor of an immediate and uncondi tional repeal of the silver purchase section of the Sherman law , but after that Is done ho says ho would Immediately turn his at tention to some legislation intended to secure the more extended use of silver as a money metal. Ono point upon which Mr. Outh walto takes strong ground is that the silver bullion now In the treasury should bo coined at once and put Into circulation and thus re lieve the money stringency. Ho says that , ns the secretary of the treasury has taken the position that coin notes issued in pay ment fur silver bullion purchased are re deemable in gold alone , it does not appear there is anv reason to retain this bullion in the treasury for rQdpmptiotjipurposcs , for Ollluo. < * The canvass for the nomination of the t yo contested places in the house organization was resumed this afternoon with" renewed vigor by the candidates , the incoming of per sonal friends putting moro life into the' light than lus yet appeared.

A in os Cumimugs is doing some energetic work apaiust Mr. Turner of his stuto. The friends of Turner say that Mr. Cummings' opposition is duo to personal reasons and that it will not affect his canvass. In the contest for sorgeant-at-arms , Mr. Outhwaiteand throe other Ohio members , It was said this afternoon , would oppose Mr. Voder's nomination , if the state sawfltto endorse him , and light him in the general caucus.

Treasury ofllclals state that the treasurer is prepared to supply all the small currency wanted and the lack of such currency In certain sections of the country is accounted for by the sup position cither , that all inonoy Is scarce , or that the banks have failed to procure of the treasury the small notes needed for homo consumption. At no time in recent years has so much small money been 'sent to New York and the lack of small notes there can not bo accounted for here except on the theory that much of it is being hoarded by these who receive it , thus withdrawing it from active circulation.

About ft 'ctalock Mr. Bowman had completed his day's business affairs and after closing his store started for his homo it 2KiS Dodge street. Ho started west on Dodge from. Sixteenth on the north side of the street. When within n few feet of the . ornor ot , KIghteonth and almost under the bright rays of aiaro | ( light , ho came face to face with two young men who had their hats imlled do\vn.overthelr eyes and their hands In their side coat pockets. Ho started to stop to ono side , when ono of them said : * 'Put tip your hands , G d you , and give us'your money. " IJotli Itnbberi Hlint nt Him. Although taken by surprise and at a great disadvantage " , Mr. Uowmnn plucklly struck the gun"noarcst to his face to ono side and Jumncd over a'low iron fence on the msldo of the walk. Bang I Bang I went two loud reports al most simultaneously , Mr. Bowman ynllod for help and , Jumping the fence , ran across the-street. At the tlmo of the shooting ihoro were fully 100 people , most of them ladies , enjoying the even ing breezes from their front porches and lawns on Dodge street. The bullets from the highwaymen's revolvers wont whistling through tholr midst. Fortunately none of thorn were struck by the bullets. Several of thu ladica screamed and the mur derous highwaymen" started doxvn Dodge street at a rapid speed. CluiReit the Highwaymen , By this time Mr. Bowman had recovered from : his surpriso'and ho give chase after the lleelng hold-ups and called for others to" help him capture them. In a short time 150 men and boys were following the thugs. Mr. Bowman , who is quite a surinter. kept close to the would-be murderers and the chase led down to Sixteenth , up Sixteenth to the alley between Dodge and Douglas and down the alloy toward Fifteenth street. When near the Tuxedo saloon , back of the postofilco the robbers disappeared into a dark alley nnd the crowd begun to search for them. Caught Ono of Them. Knowing the men were armed and des perate the citizens had some hesitancy in rushing in on them. Sergeant Whnlen , who happened to bo in thnt vicinity , was soon on the trail and , with Theodore Wiseman , Jr. , and Itogor B. Tanoy , located ono of the fugitives under a pair of stops directly in the rear of Frank "Cross1 , gun store. They grabbed the fellow before ho could use his gun , and slipped n pair of handcuffs on him. A Inrgo- sirea six-shooter of the bulldog pattern was taken fiom the highwayman's right coat pocket. It was n double-acting gun , and was at full cock , ready to shoot. The pris oner struggled desperately and , although of rather slerdor buld. ( ho made a hard light. Willitig-citirons held him while Sergeant Whnlen detailed throe ofllcers who had ar rived on the scene to uuSrd all avenues of escape nnd search for the other robber. Ho then took the captured crook to a patrol box at Fifteenth and Dodge streets and called for the wagon. Kxcltou L'ooplo Wanted to IVyncli Him. By this tlmo fully 300 people had boon attracted to the spot and when they heard of the desperate character of the prisoner many of them were In favor of dealing out summary punishment and adorning a con venient telegraph polo with the thug's body. Some several shouts of "Hang him ! " were heard , but the prisoner maintained a cool silence. But the majority was in favor of 1i letting 1 the law deal with the follow and no demonstration 1i was made. While the prisoner was nt the box waiting for i the arrival of the patrol wagon ho was positively I Identified by Mr. Bowman and J. H. McCabe , who lives at Seventeenth and Dodge and who was an eyewitness of the shooting. Came from the Const. At the station the robber said that his name was George Price and. that ho had arrived in Omaha from San Francisco throe ? days nto. ; He claimed that ho did not know his partner's name. On the way to the station Price told Sergeant Whalcn thnt ho ! j had just come from Denver. Ho said ho was broke and , took tnis method to raUo money The prisoner la about 1M' years of ago. lie is smooth faced and much tanned from ex posure to the sun. Ho were a dark suit , black stiff hat , and summer flannel shirt with a black tie. Ho also had the rem nants of a cigarette between his teeth. Ho was saturated with perspiration , but was cool and collected. Ho would not talk much ( , but maintained n stoical reticence. He had nothlmr on hlni which would disclose his identity. The captured revolver was turned over to Captain Cormlck. With the < yccop- tioii of ' one chamber It was wickedly loaded. The p'owder marks show that a shot had just been fired tram the weapon. The prisoner was locked up in the strongest cell jn tbo jail , for the ofllcors regard him us . a desperate cijuilnul , even though he has .sa beardless face and meek appearance. Sergeants Whalun and Ormsby nnd several olllccrs searched the buildings and ilK ilk places for several hours In hopes of finding Price's partner , but at n late hour had nut located him.-and it is thought that the l fellow ran In the now brick building In course of construction on Seventeenth and Douglas streets and escaped while the excited - cited crowd .wore after Prico. ch Mr.-Bowirian . got a good look at both men , described the escaped robber as being about five feet nlno Inches in height.

McCabo. who llvc about 200 yards from where the robbers stopped Mr. Bowman , saw the whole affair. Ho happened to be looking up the street and saw the guns glistening under the electric light. Just then ho saw Mr. Bowman make a quick move and aaw bolh of the fellows shoot at him. 'J.he men ran toward him , He was within twenty feet of them as they passed , but being unarmed ho could only fol low them , lie was In lus shirt sleeves and had np hat , but he gnvo the robbers a lively chns'o and was of much assistance in the capture of Price. I'rloe Attempt * llrlberjr. Tlioodoro Wiseman , Jr. , saw the man running , and being a good runner , was close on them when they disappeared in the alloy. Ho says the men jumped the high board fence In the rear of Bills' millinery store and ran around to tbo stops in the roar of Cross' gun store on Douglas street just west of Fifteenth. While searching for them ho found Price crouching under the stops , gun lu hand , Price imploringly said : "Hero , I'll give you a dollar If you won't give ino away. " Wiseman was unarmed and didn't care to tackle the highwayman , so ho ran to tlnd an ofllcor.

An unknown man was found Ivlug on the platform of the Northwestern douot last night in a hclulcss and speechless condition. The police ambulance convoyed him to the Piosbyterlan hospital and Dr. Somers was summoned. The man scorned to bo conscious , hut could neither hear nor speak , so that noth ing 1t 1 could bo learned ns to how ho came to bo in his condition. Dr. Somors found that his pulse was 140 and his temperature 100. This is a very dangerous state nnd it is believed that ho had been overcome by heat. It was learned later that the man had boon found in some weeds not far from the depot and had evidently been lying exposed to the blaring sun for severnl hours. Ho tiad had n hard falll or else had been struck on the head , as ho had a largo bump on the back part of his bend. There were no papers on the man by which ho could bo identified ex cept in a notebook was "William McKonzlo. " The people at the hospital reported at a late hour last night that the man wan still unable to talk and might die nt any tlmo , although they were doing their utmost to save him. There seems to bo some mystery about the affair which cannot bo explained , unless the man recovers his speech. HOItOUS IX A KIOT. Gist ot Humor IlrouKht In from the South llml ol the City. It was rumored Into last night that n largo number of tramps who had congregated at the southern city limits had engaged in a riot and a number of the belligerents had been severely injured. Ifo report of the affair had been made at the police station at 1 o'clock and the ofllcers disci-edit the rumor. There was a largo number of tramps acen In the woods about the foot of Twenty-sixth street In the evening , and they wore drink ing and quarreling among themselves. Thla may have led to the rumor of riot. The story circulated , but unconfirmed , Is that there were two gangs of hoboes and after imbibing ( considerable diluted alcohol they started n free-for-all light in which stones , clubs nnd knives wore used as weapons. Several of the men wcro alleged to have boon severely cut. nnd beaten , but all escaped from that vicinity fearing arrest. CDT WITH A. ICAZOK. Will Hicks Hns a How With Jim AVclcIi uuil Carves Him.

DANGERS OF DEER DRINKING Tow Pncts Abont Schooners Without Sails thnt Oross the Bur. LUPULINE IS USED BY MANY BREWERS It If Adnltoraleri with Tiuinlnc , Hnml nnd the I.llio Corn lining lined nnil n Now rinlil Opened fur Iho 1'roducU Very few of the loglmis of people consum ing the amber colored bovcrngo called beer have any idea ns to tlio IngrodtenU con- tallied in iho brow , which li drawn in such copious draughts out of Ice-cold mugs these mldsutnmoi * dnys. Close renders of TUB UKK might have In- fin-red from un article In thU paper some tlmo ago , when Mr. Mattes was appointed n special conunhslonor by the Department of Agriculture to go to Kuropo and en deavor to open now markets for American corn , coupled with the sug- gostlon that breweries there might bo In duced to use it In the mamifacturo of the thirst-quenching Hutd , thnt this yellow grain composed ono part of the prepared drink In this country. Tholr faint recollec tion of having hoard thnt hops , malt and unadulterated aqua pnra ronstitutod tlio populnr beverage might thereby have ro- colvod a severe shock , followed by nn avowal to drink Ice water Instead If thu former could not bo obtained in a pure stnto accord ing to their notions. As a matter of fact , com , after undergoing processes In eight or mow different forms , tins been used In malting beer for .years , per haps moro extensively in some breweries than In others , hut used nevertheless lu some form , cither as glucose or anv of the other preparations. It Is contended by exper ienced brewers , who ought to bo Judges , as they consume n lot of the stuff themselves , thnt corn so used Is not injurious to health. It contains properties that are essential in making a good quality of the beverage. l.urk Thoro. In American beers It will bo observed that thby are clear , almost free from all settlings , while the Imported stint has n murky ap pearance as seen through the glass. This Is pronounced dangerous , containing b.icturin in Quantity which may work mischief in a healthy stomach , Of course hops nnd malt are tndiaponslhlo in the manufuctmo of beer , us they contain properties undiscovered in any substitute for them. "Brewers as n rule , " said ono of them the other day , "nro loth to admit that anything but hops and malt la used in their establish ments. but I don't believe that there is ono of them that does not use corn in some form in brewing , ami I don't sno why they should bo afraid to lot the people know that they do as long ns corn don't contain any injur ious properties. " Another prevailing- Idea Is that boor can ho used now in a short time after its manu facture. As n rule it remains in the hi ? tanks in tlio collnr.s for about throe months before it is filled into kegs and sold to thu saloons , but without detracting any of the substances it can remain in the cold and oven temperature where tliu big tames are kept for a year and perhaps two. Seldom , however , does the consumption permit it to remain there for moro than six months. "Do you use any lupnlino in your boor , " was the query with which a reporter ap parently surprised the foreman of one of Omaha's largest breweries. The man of muscle and supervisor of tlio brew laughed and replied : "N o , wo use hops Instead. You can taste that by partaking of a stelu fnsch vein Fuss. " The reporter indulged and stood ready to * ay that hops , malt , rice and Missouri river water constituted the contents of the stein. DiuignrH of Sand. "Wo use very little liipiilino , " said an other browor. "ns it givoa the beer the taste , hut a person has to bo very carufnl in its purchase. I always put it under the microscope because you cannot lull u bother it is lupulinc or tanninu you are buying. An other thing is that sand is sometimes added and unless vnu nut it umlrn * a strong ilass to magnify it 7.10 times you cannot toll the dif ference. Lupnlino is the meal or dust from the pollen In the hops. It comes cheaper because it is not so bulky , costing from $ : i to $5 a .pound. The tarlfl on Imported hops and on this Is the same per pound , so you sue there is a saving. It l also manufac tured in this country now , but 1 do not buy any of this , preferring the hops raised here. Very often , too , our lupulino is in.ulii up of the sweeping In ballnir the hops. When It Is brought under the microscope you can also distinguish the difference from tannino , sometimes .sold for the former , tin ] latter being square In shape and very in jurious , being manufactured from the iiisuin part of the hark of an oak tree so largely used for tanning purjioses.
