OF PROMINENT POPULISTS rnrroil Into tlin llniuli of He- colrrm lijr tlin 1'rnvnlllnc Cmnmerelnl DUttom tn It Appropriated for tlio 1'ulillc. CHICAOO , Aug. 0. Slnco the close of the illvor convention Mr. Gcorgo IA Wnshburn of Uoston , chairman of thu eastern division of the national committee of the people's party , and Colonel A. S. Klslt of Denver , Colo. , president of the Pan-American 111- metallic association , together with other prominent populists of the west , have been In ilnlly consultation with the loading gov ernment ofllclali , hankers , capitalists and railroad men of the west devising a gigantic railroad scheme of government ownership which they think will afford financial relief to the country and make at once an Usuo of two of the principal planks of their platform. Mr. J. 11. Davis of Texas , who was the populist candidate for attorney general a .vciir abound who , during his campaign pro posed u similar plan , is the k-gal counso.l of the populists. It Is alleged ttiut the money stringency has affected itransportatlon so greatly that the receipts on many west ern roads have fallen oft" fully one-third and that receiverships for some of ttiem have nl- ruddy been asked for , which would also moan the ruin of commercial and Industrial inter ests In every western mid southern state. Srntlmont Much UliniiRnil. Mr. Washburn , who Is a prominent busi ness man In Uoston and Nuw York , states that most of the stock of those roads is hold In Now England , being Uoston enterprises , and that the loss of dividends- and threat ened ruin is rapidly changing sentiment in that section in favor of government owner ship of railroads as well ns for bimetallism. The plan proposed is , that the national government shall issue bonds fop all legal and just Indebtedness , being governed by the same tenure and contract which now exists. The amount is estimated to bo about two- thirds of the vaiuo of the railroads , and an Issuance of legal tender treasuiy notes , or silver certificates for theromainlngono-third. Objection was raised to the populist's plan to pay one-third in treasury notes , which would greatly increase the price of products in the country , but it was claimed Unit oven though the full amount of ouo third should bo issued , (15,000,000 ( people could better absorb $2,1)00,000,000 ) of treasury notes now than 25- , 000,000 people did In 1SIJT , and that this issuance of treasury notes would afford 1m- medlato financial relief and inaugurate a period of prosperity unparalleled in the his tory of the world. Hut the populists do not propose that the government shall buy all thu railroads at once , hut so gradually that no shock would bo felt in the mo.no.y market. Beginning with thu western roads , they would ho taken in tlio order of thuir applica tion , some being ready HOW. Cuulil llcttuco Kxpcnsoi. The populists say that while their party Is opposed to any now issuance ) of national bonds , no objection could bo offered to the oven exchange of bonds which already exist , and that the bonds could ho gradually paid , and In a few years the government would own thu railroads. It is claimed that the plan would not antagonize existing railroad Interests and that , if the government owned all the railroads west of the Mississippi river instead of being competitive to the eastern roads , they would bo distributive and could bo used by the government to move the crops to the markets at cost and in this way de velop the resources of this great western country and thereby stimu late trade ; also that uninhabited sections could bo colonized , tlio low fares be ing an inducement to immigration , and in tills way relieve the cities from their present congested state and provide an additional market' for'tho manufactured products foi the people who remain , and that inasmuch ax a commission only would bo needed in each state , the saving in high salaries would bo enormous. All Interest * I'lcnsoil. It is claimed that the bondholders llko the idea , because they would receive national bonds In oven exchange for fluctuating rail road bonds of uncertain value. The banker ! take kindly to tlio scheme , because it solve : the problem of how to got more bonds. The employes would advocate the plan because cause they would then have tenure ani Btabllit.yof employment and through eloctior and i-lvil service laws bo able to pratec1 themselves against Injustice by suporioi oniccrs as well as against removal. > It is further alleged that merchants" shippers favor thu plan because there wouli be no discrimination in transportation rule : In favor of trusts and syndicates and it wouu reduce the aggregate of fixed charges full ; one-third. The farmers favor It because they wouU Ret freight rates which would not bo all tin "trafllc would bear" and thereby absorb al of their pro Ills. Mr. AVashburn will Icavo for Washingtoi tomorrow to have the matter prcsontcd t congress , and to secure the support of west cm urn ! southern congressmen. v.s 01 * How Prominent CltlzoiiR Wmim Miuingi the Country's Klminc-cH.

Patterson of the Kooky Mountain News has returned from the Chicago silver convention , and when asked by an Associated Press man what ho thought of the New York bank statement Issued yesterday and the Increase of their Clearing Houeo certificates to nearly 15,000.000 , ho replied : "A startling condl- tion truly do the Now /ork banks present to the country , and the value of and the Im possibility of petting along without silver legal tender money is also made very clear by the eastern dispatches. ' The big INow Yotk banks may be able to pull through , but if they wcro In the west and Comptroller Kcklcs should treat them as ho did the western banks a majority of them would have boon compelled to close their doors a week ago. "For moro than a month now cash trans actions between thcso banks have ceased. Balances , that in the west must bo dally settled in cash , are settled in the New York clearing house by loan certificates a now species of currency , altogether unknown to the law. Moro than 54,000,000 of this wlnu money has benn Issued , and It is upon this that the Now York banks are running. Alt on n 1'ar. "Every ono of these banks have suspended payment. The Denver , Milwaukee , Indian apolis and Louisville banks that closed their doors are not a whit worse than the bloviat ing , bullying , inflated Now York banks. If the western banks had elected to pay only checks for small amounts and refused to pay those for large sums as the Now York banks have done and are now doing all the western banks would bo running today. Only Thursday the Chicago Trust Savings bank sent its check for $ . ' . "i,000 on the Western National bank of New York for collection. The check was drawn atrains t money on de posit in the Now York bank , but its presi dent , Uraytou Ives , refused cash on the check and tendered thcso clearing house certificates Instead. "Tho First National , the Fourth National , the Chase National and the City National banks , all of New York , wired the First National bank of Chicago a few days ago , that it too must receive clearing house cer tificates from them for its money deposit in Now York. Under pretense of a famine in small currency and to prevent depositors taking it out to sell at .a premium , the dis patches announced that 'the banks are re fusing to cash checks unless they arc well satisfied there is necessity for the use ol eur-ency.1 ' Thitiks" It Very Strange. "What is all this about suspension ? Whj are'not these banks dosed ? What under standing is there between them and tin bank authoritlcs-iu Washington that per mits them to suspend payment at will anil yet keep open doors ? It is a curiou ; phenomenon national banks investigating when a depositor's check is presented foi payment , whether the check holder intend : to speculate on his own money or not and i ! they conclude ho does , refusing to honor the draft. ' Since th.o last showing of thcso bank ; their reserve has decreased nearly $11,500,000 their specie has decreased $0.70:3,000 : am their legal tender currency , $ Ti.WJ,000. ; Thoii reserve Is over $14,000,000 below the lega requirements. This showing from a crou ; of banks with a capital of but $03,000,000 tin banking authorities should not overlook Lly these extraordinary makeshifts tin banks may pull through , but if they don' what then ? The government will bo field and should bo held to strict accountabillt ; by the thousands of individuals and associa tions that will bo the sufferers. "If it wore not for the much abused am eastern-despised silver dollar the OOo della the Now York banks would break int smithereens anyway , and there would b llnancial chaos much worse than there uov is in Gotham. Dunmncl for Silver Dollars. "Tho demand for silver dollars both In th east and south discloses the remarkable fae that every silver dollar in the country is no\ doing auty in moving the country's business There are USO.000,000 of them , and they ar all out , either in specie or tholr represent : lives silver certificates.

[ Special Tele gram to TUB HUB. ] It has commenced to dawh on the citizens of Indianapolis that tholr Idol monetary institution , the Indian apolis National bank , now In the hands of a receiver , did not collapse on account of the stringency of the times altogether. The fact that Its president , Theodora H. Haughoy , was ono of the most conservative bankers In t ho state , that ho had n social ami religious s landing In the community enjoyed by few , t hat ho never "plunged" or speculated , that his stockholders wcro suoh mou as JMW Wallace nnd that among his debitors was ex-President Harrison , made his Institution a financial Gibraltar. When it closed Its doors and Batik Kx- nimncr Young went into the vaults and Uccclver Hawkins was appointed at the sug gestion of Congressman llynam , the sympa thetic chords of the community played a tcndor air for the venerable president and the newspapers , believing that the bank would weather the storm , spoke kindly of the old man and hopefully of the outcome. Thcro is still a respectful fooling for Presi dent Haughoy , who. by the way , has been out of his homo only once since the sus pension. There is probably not a citizen In Indianapolis who would not assist him per sonally ; but facts nro cropping out In splto of an attempt to suppress them , which will show , unless a hindrance enjoins them , that the old man has been victimized. That is a merciless sort of a way of putting it. but It is not half ns bad as some citizens hero put It. r.ootod the Itnnlc. They say the hank has been virtually looted , nnd that there are some transactions In the affair which will call for explanation from Haughey's own family , nud from his confidential advisor and brother in the sanctuary , Francis A. Coflln. Since the Fletcher & Sharp failure hero in 18812 , who collapsed for a couple of millions , there has been a feeling that nothing more serious could ever occur to shako the 'faith ' of the capital In Its financial affairs. But here is this old concern of thirty years growth , whoso president Is a member of the Metho dist , church , whoso friends are the social leaders and whoso depositors include men of national repute , closing its doors , with un convertible paper , the face of which ought to represent nearly 81,000,000. The suspension was announced July 20. Mr. Haughoy , with feeble step , feeble nnd falterlnc voice , declared that up to the Sun day night previous ho never dreamed that the bank was In any way embarrassed. Then ho was taken homo and took to his bed , and there ho has remained , ruminating on the llnklcucss of monetary affairs. Spe cial Bunk Examiner Young has nut yet im- r.ivolod the tangle , but as far as ho has gone he has found some curious transactions , Francis A. Coflln , who came hero from Richmond , Ind. , about ton years ago and who llmired in a bank failure in that town of trhlch his father Is president , is the Fidus Achater of President Haughoy and his brother in the church. Coflln is in-csldont of the Indianapolis Cabinet company , a concern which has taken precedence in a financial way. His brother Percival is secretary and treasurer. Mnnr Uniccurcil T.onm. The examiner finds that the Coflln brothers secured loans of $30,000 each from the bank on Individual unsecured notes. Then the cabinet company Itself secureda similar loan in the same way. The cabinet co'm'pany was so extensive that it had nine branches and each of them , or the manager thereof , secured loans from the bank to the amount of $270,000 moro on unsecured notes , al though since thu suspension of the bank it appears that the company has executed to Theodore Haughey , as trustee , a mortgage for f'J.'iO.OOO.'hero are people hero .who pro fess that they do nbt understand why the mortgage was not oxociflcQ at the timptho money was'negotiated. while o'tnors 'declare ' 'tho'y do not understand ho'w a bank , acting under the national banking- law , could loan virtually $800.000 to a concern when the law says the bunk shall not lend more than $30,000 or 10 per cent of Its capital stock to any ono person or con cern. They forgot that the Maverick bank of Boston and the National Marino of New York did similar business , although the Mitverick managers are today behind the bars of a state prison for their transactions. Then there are the Indianapolis Glue com pany and the Indianapolis Curled Hair works , opu-ated principally by the Haughey family , which used the funds of thp bank for the advancement of their business , and it doc ; not appear that the two concc'rils were re quired to give any security for tholr loans , which is required of outsiders. Other ( jucstioimlilo MnthoiU. Some of the other loans similarly negoti ated are by men who are either unknown 01 who are merely employes of the companies , ono an engineer ana another a traveling salesman. All of. these notes wcro unsc cured , but tomorrow mortgages will bo ox ccutcd which , it is supposed , will help tin bank out to some extent. Ono of these morl gages will bo by the Glue Works for flO.OOO one by the Curled Hair Works for $ -27,000 ani another for $10,000 , making security of $87 , 000 for loans to the amount of $ yoo,000 , am the security is furnished after the spocia examiner has the bank under his thuml screw. The Glue Works Is capitalized foi $50,000 , but conservaiivo estimates make it ! value luss. While expressions of sympathy were fro qucnt and warm on the eve of the suspon sinn of the bank a clearing house commlttei consisting of other bankers took it upot themselves to influence the press of the cit ; by representing that any undue agitation o affairs might injure the credit of the town They backed this up by offering Mr Haughoy whatever amount was necessar ; to tide him over , $50,000 in all. "Worked by 111 * Friend. . The ox-president was touched by this tender dor , and replied that $30,000 would bridg him over. The committee told him ho hai hotter take $50,000 , and thuir eloquence wa so persuasive that ho consented. No soono was the money In the vaults of the Imlianai oils National than some ono who knew th situation went straight nnd notified severn large depositors that the old bank had'fund : and those friends drew out the money an 3 placed It in other banks of the city. An Incident occurcd In the closing up o the bank between Special Kxamluer YQUII and President Coflln of the Cabinet work : Coflln had proclaimed that the cabinet coi corn had enough loose ohango in Its vault to reimburse the bank and put It on Us feel The bank examiner called on Mr. Cofll and told him that If such wa tlio case , considering the close roll tions existing between his concern an the bank , ho had hotter make his boast good by paying to the bank the loose chang referred to. Mr , CoRln resented this , an said he did not propose to bo Insulted by United States olllelal. The bunk cxamfm then recalled Mr , Cofmi's connection wit the Richmond bank failure , In which Coflln "poor father" had been unfortunate.

The presence of so many people notwith standing the warm weather was substantial evidence of the popularity of Brownie Wal lace , the assistant manager , and Alfred E , Blaufuss , the musical director of Wonder land. The program contained sixteen numbers and formed a pyramid of merit. All the numbers were well received. The best feat ure of the evening was the marvelous acrobatic batic performance of the La Koso brothers. Jules Lumbard was in good voice and when the last notes of "I Fear No Foo" loft his lips , ho was accorded an enthusiastic oncoro. Miss Bertha Stolnhausor WHS accorded an ovation , both in. applause and floral tributes. The Harlo sisters , Grace and Mnttio , dis pliyod remarkable ability for children in singing and dancing.

Homo At nl liliif ; Incident ) ) Connected with Itucunt Knullnli ( iiinu'n. English cricketers have ha l a very lively time recently nnd the latest returns nro brimful of incidents. The weather is re ported to have been almost entirely In favor of run making and batting averages have as sumed startling proportions. The Yorkshire and Somerset match ended at Sheffield July 7 in a remarkable win for the Yorkshire eleven. The Somerset men went in twice to make 2S7 , while their rivals scored : U)0 ) runs In one inning. Of this total A. Sellers contributed 103 , thus making his second century for the season. II. Trott , the great Australian , was the hero of the match between his team and Leicestershire at Ayclstonc , July 7. Ho scored UK ) runs in one innings with the bat , and bowled so effectively that in the Eng lishmen's two Innings ho took eleven wickets for olcnty.-soven runs. The bowling of his side partner. G. GifTon , was also remarkable. Ho took eight wickets at a cost of eighty- two runs. The Australians won by fifty-one runs , with nn innings to spare. One of thn most brilliant exhibitions of batting ever seen this season was given by the Australians at Derby on July 4 , against the Derbyshire cloven. The local cracks ware disposed of for 101) ) , while the foreigners reached the great total ofUl / for nine wickets. Of tills II. Gr.iham made 210 , the highest score of thtj tour. A. Baiinenuan was also conspicuous with the flue , contribu tion ot 105 runs. The great feature of the match at Lord's on July 7 , in which Sussex beat Middlesex by ! MO to 'J45 ! on the first Innines , was the bat ting of G. Brann for the winners. Ho scored lf > 'J ' runs. The great annual struggle between the i-pprescntatlves of Oxford nnd Cambridge , at Lord's , ended disastrously for the dark blues. The Oxford mm went to pieces in the second innings , while the light blues im proved , The scores were : Cambridge , IS'J and 254 ; Oxford , 10(5 ( and 01. Several spec tators narrowly escaped lockjaw trying to pronounce the name of one of the Cam bridge men , 1C. S. Uanjitsinjhl. The uncon scious cause of the trouble is nn Indian prince and a great favorite nmong his intimates. Several of his ancestors are de scribed as racy'to a degree. When playing at Bridlington , ono of the opposite side in quired if ho could speak English. Seeing a prospect of some fun , his comrades replied that ho was able to spcaic Just a few words , such as "Yes" and "No" and "How's thatt" Hanjitsinjhi made onuof his biguosl scores , and every nov and then somebody said : 'Here , It's time this bupgar wus out. " When ho was hit on the face with the ball , the fielders hoped that "ho would have some of the steam knocked out of him now. " When the Indian was heard speaking English to his friends at the subse quent luncheon the Bridlington players wore not a little astonished. Oxford cricketers wcro amazed at the manner in which C. W. Wright of Cam bridge hammered J. B. Wood's usually dan gcrous "lobs. " Wright scored llvp fours oil ono over and twenty-eight runs oil eight consecutive secutivo balls. _ I'onttiU urn OliiiinpuiiiH. The third game of ball between the Postal and W.
