Pout Townsend, Wash., July 18.— The revenue cutter Richard Hush seized the steamers Alexandria and St. Paul near the Okormok islands, fifty miles south of the Kottiaki islands, July 1. The Alexandria had sixteen seals and the St. Paul six. A lieutenant of the Rush boarded the St. Paul after bavins; been on the Alexandria, and the captain of the former vessel, thinking lie was under seizure, complained about the officer not seizing the Alexandria. lie maae a statement which showed the modus Vivendi was being violated, and the lieutenant accordingly seized both vessels. They were sent to Sitka with a prize crew. The Ship Mohican. San Francisco, July 18. -The news of the disabling of the war ship Mohican by a sealer in the Belirin*-; sea is ques tioned by the sealing men here. Donald Ross, of the firm of Ross & Hewlett^ the firm that fitted out the Alexandria, saia that if the Mohican was fired into it was by some other vessel than the Alex andria. On June 1 the Alexandria was in llokodate. Japan, while the bat tle with the Mohican is said to have oc curred on May 25, and the Alexandria sailed from here in April and had no cannon on board. From here she went to Honolulu, and thence to Japan, it Is said, where she has been ever since. Ross says it is probable that the Mohican mistook the Russian gunboat for a poacher, and when she fired across her bows she got a shot in return. TRADE WENT WILD. THE CHICAGO BEARS TAKE POSSES SION OF THE PIT. WHOLE PIAKKIiIT TIMLBJLES. Wheat Declines 2 1-2 Cents in an Hour — Culmination of Bad News Broke the Market— No Support Given the Greezy Pro vision Market. : " Chicago, July 18.— It was like the Johnstown flood for a while today in the wheat trade. The speculators took fright at the alarming financial report from both East and West, and let go their holdings in a way approaching the panicky. Altogether, it was a day that left scars, A decline of 2>-5c per bushel in about an hour wouid be a heavy fall ing off if the price had been SI instead of only That was the limit of the decline, and it closed with a loss since yesterday of l%c. Corn sympathized slightly, and is marked down ' 4 c. Pro visions were in a slumpy condition. Lard is off 30c and ribs 47, ; 2 'c. The de cline in pork was 10c. Wjmw fl Wheat was on new ground and broke the record for cheapness. September has not sold before below GS^c, but to day touched 6633 c. The opening was about He lower than yesterday's clos ing, and prices further declined 2' 4 'c for September and l%c for December, then rallied lc, eased off and the closing was %@%c from the bottom. One small failure occurred, that of C. S. Lee, who has been bullish on wheat. There were two distinct spurts in the selling, and on each the trade went wild. Yesterday's close was at 69c seller September. The first drop this morning was to Q7j*c for September. After a little rally thy selling broke out again, and in one minute the Septem ber went from 67% cto OO.'j'c. lt was long wheat thrown on the market by scared holders. On the early break the selling was largely through commission houses. On thu second break every body sold or tried to sail on a badly de moralized market. On each break there was good buying of wheat by shorts who were ready to Grab at Quick Profits. While the excitement was on every one was trying to learn the cause. - No one piece of news broke the market. It was the culmination of gathering heaviness. The financial news yester day was very bad, yet the market held up fairly well. This morning New I'ork stocks were very weak on London selling. The cable news hinted at some bad failure as very probable. The trade had scarcely begun when Denver reported the failure of the greatest mer cantile house there. Fort Scott, Kan., reported a 1305,000 bank failure. There were reports of three other Denver banks closing up. It was at the same time reported that a grain house had failed here. Aside from bad financial news the influences were bearish. The cables were either indifferent or lower. The better temperature and showers over the West were more favorable for growing crops and harvesting. Chicago had 42 cars of new wheat aud 11 cars graded No. 2. The contract wheat in public houses again Increased 64,000 bu to a total of nearly 17,000.000 bu. During the last hour the trade recov ered from the panicky feeling, some what. New York raised export sales from 45 to 00 boat loads. Cash wheat worked here amounted to about 150,000 bu No. 3 red, and 75,000 bu No. 3 spring. There was no further adverse finan cial news. The corn trade had a much narrower market than in wheat, yet transactions were important. The receipts were close up to the very big estimate at 917 cars, and about 500 cars of contract corn for the day. The movement for Mon day appeared on the blackboard at 507, --000 bu receipts, 160,000 shipments. The showers over the corn belt helped crop prospects. Withdrawals for the day were but 105,000 on. With Weak Stocks And weak wheat and selling against privileges when the price was passed, the market got a break of %c, but the estimate for Wednesday was much lighter at 320 cars. New York cleared 180,000 bu. Contract corn in store was reduced 254, --000 bu for the week to a total of 954,000 bn. The close was at a recovery of . 4 c from t'.io bottom figures. Oats were fairly active and weaker early in sympathy with the two leading grain markets, but the close was finally made at only a fraction under yester day's latest figures. The total stocks in store at present are only about one eighth as large as those of last year. For an hour there was a great market in provisions. The trade settled down to the belief that the Wright line of ribs had been liquidated at a loss. The sell ing of ribs this morning was begun by the packers. There was no support in the market. In lard there was a firmer opening with several commission houses buying. Then the September price broke to $10, and was pegged again for a time as on Monday. Later the price got past the §10 point and the very clique brokers who had supported it be fore turned sellers. A sharp break fol lowed. On the break Wagner bought several thousand tierces of lard, prob ably for Hately. Ribs got a rally of 20c. from the low point. • After this action the trade became very quiet. Freights were in good demand and rates firmer at i x : z p\ : '^c for wheat and 1./-i(o-;-8C for corn to Buffalo. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 44 cars; corn, 320 cars; oats, 135 cars; hogs, 22,000. lowa Crop Jlulletin. DE6 Moines, 10., July IS.— lowa crop bulletin issued today says: Corn has made rapid advancement, and at this season of the year there has never been a brighter prospect of a larger crop. Fall wheat and rye are in shock or stack in prime order. In many localities oats and spring wheat are somewhat affected by rust.in consequence of the high tem perature and humidity.

A special term of the district court was held yesterday. Judge Crosby pre siding. Testimony was taken in the matter of compelling the St. Paul Trust company to disclose certain prop erty alleged to have been placed in its vaults by R. J. Wheeler, who made an assignment for the benefit of creditors in February last. Harvey Officer, as sistant secretary of the company, testi fied that Mr. Wheeler had rented a box in the vault, but that none of the officers knew what had been placed in it, if any. The attorneys representing the creditors attempted to show that J. C. Nethaway, of this city, was in posses- ' sion of one of the keys to the vault, but Mr. Nethaway testified that he had never had one. Mr. Wheeler had ap pointed his daughter, Viola B. Girvin, his deputy, and she and Mr. Wheeler were the only persons having access to the box. The attorneys stated that it would be necessary to take the testi mony of one of the other employes of the Trust company, and court adjourned at noon to meet iv St. Paul at 3 o'clock. Judge Crosby, together with officers of the court and the attorneys in the case appeared at the office of the Trust company in St. Paul and took the de positions of Gen. Bishop, president of the Trust company, and of Robert (J. Rhodes, custodian of the satety vaults. The court had explained to it how the safety vault is managed. The master key to the outside door to the private apartment is in custody of the Trust company anu two keys to the inner box are given to the person leasing the box. The Trust company lias no means of access to the inner box except by break ing into it, while the duplicate keys are held by Mr. Wheeler and his daughter, Mrs. Viola B. ' Girvin, who is deputized by Mr. Wheeler, as shown by the books in the safety vault, to use the key other than the one held by him. Mr. Wheeler and his daughter are in California, whither they went more than a month auo. The court was told that, unless Mr. Wheeler would surrender his key the trust com pany could not get into the box unless the court should order it bioken into and the contents delivered over to the receiver. None of the officers of the trust company know what Mr. Wheeler has in the box, and could not answer as to whether there was, among other things, as claimed, the 520.000 in cer terhcates of deposit on the Lumbermen's Bank ot Stillwater. J. F. Daubenberger, McGregor, lo.', has purchased two rafts of logs from Jacob Bean and one raft from Bronson & Folsom. A number of down-river lumbermen are in the city looking over the market, among them Joseph Zim merman, ot Guttenberg, and M. 11. McCarthy, of Dubuque, and indications are that a large nuinoer ot sales will be made during the week, lt is reported that business is increasing on the lower river, and prospects are much brighter than they were a week or ten days ago The Ravenna left yesterday with a. ratio! logs consigned to the Standard and L,esure Lumber companies, Du buque. The Abner Gile also took out a rait. The city council last evening awarded the official printing to the Gazette and the job printing to Nelson & Neumeir. The report of the board of equalization shows the tax levy was raised $245,555. The board of county commissioners held an adjourned meeting at the court house yesterday. Stillwater Was Warned. To the Editor of the Globe. My attention has just been called to a little sarcasm in your editorial column in regard to the weather bureau predict ing the cyclone which struck our city yesterday. Allow me to inform you, in justice to the weather bureau, that we were notified forty-eight hours ahead, and had the cyclone flag up for that length of time before the storm. Re spectfully, A. G. SCHUTTINGKR, Observer for Stillwater Station. ASSOCIATION MEETING. Result of the '1 rans-Missouri Committee Gathering. Kansas City, July 18.— The trans- Missouri committee of the Western Passenger association began a session here this morning in the trans-Missouri headquarters. Ml B. 1). Caldwell, chairman of the West ern Passenger association, was present, because the business before this meet ing is of great importance. J. S. Mc- Cullough, the new secretary of the trans-Missouri, was present, tins being the first meeting held since his election. Before adjournment at noon, the association agreed upon a rate of one fare for the round trip for the Kansas City fair and the priests of Pallas, tickets to be sold on certain days from points within a radius of 200 miles from Kansas City and on other days only within a radius of 150 miles. The im portant question of the transcontinental rate disturbance will be taken up to morrow. This trouble has been caused by the rate wars in the North started by tne Great Northern railway and joined by the Northern Pacific, Canadian Pacific and more recently by the Union Pacific. The rate of $30 either wav, Missouri river points to Portland, is so remarkably low" that it cannot be main tained forever, and the association will see what can be done about it. NOT CONCERNED. Canadian Pacific Officials Do Not Worry Over the Tacoma Grand Jury Fiat. Montreal, July 18.— Referring to the recent alleged infraction of inter slate commerce law by a Canadian Pa cific ticket agent at Tacoma, General Traffic Manager Olds, of the Canadian Pacific railroad, said today: "The agent in question is forthe time being a citizen of the United States, and is well aware of the responsibility he would incur in violating the interstate com merce law, as has been alleged, and if he has sold the ticket in question he is personally responsible. Allowing that the agent has been guilty of any such violation, which we do not admit, no one can show that he was prompted to do so by any of the company's officials. Consequently neither the president nor general traffic manager nave themselves much concern over the recent fiat of the Tacoma grand jury. Receiver Appointed. Baltimore, July IS.— Judge Goff, presiding here in chambers as for the United States district court of Eastern Virginia, and upon application of the Central Trust company, of New York, has appointed Samuel Spencer. ex-Sen ator F. I. lluydcooper and Frederick Foster as receivers for the Richmond & Danville and leased line. Samuel Spencer is the representative of the Drexel & Morgan interests and the ap pointment is in the interest of reorgan ization. Each of the receivers was" re quired to give bond with approved se curity for*loo,ooo. Judge Goff passed the necessary order and appointed the three trustees named. Messrs. Foster and Huyd cooper were appointed receivers by Judge Born). In making the appoint ment the court ratifies and confirms all the acts of Messrs. lluydcooper and Foster, the old receivers, the order be ing specially guarded in that respect. The next step that will be taken will be the foreclosure under the general con solidated mortgage and sale of the property. Cut-Kate Tickets. New York, July 18.— President Sloan, of the Lackawanna, says there is no truth whatever in the charge that the Lackawanna company has placed cut rate tickets on sale. Tickets have undoubtedly been purchesed by scalp ers in large amounts and they are plac ing them on sale. Nothing is being done by the Lackawanna that is not legitimate in every respect. REMARKABLE GROWTH FROM 10,000 TO 1,000,000 IN TEN ■-J YEARS. Substantial Evidence of Public Appreciation — Rapid Exten sion of a Business Founded on Merit— When Newspaper Ad vertising Is Valuable. The mark of public appreciation which best Indicates the meritorious character of an artice for public use is the evidence shown by the necessity of enlargement of business facilities con nected with the production of this arti cle. The Kickapoo Indian Medicine Company, located at New Haven, Conn., owning and manufacturing from the original formulas of the Kickapoo In dians the famous medicines of that cel ebrated tribe, has found it necessary to make a substantial enlargement of its factory by the purchase of a six-story brick building, containing about 30.000 square feet of floor space, for conducting the enormous and still increasing business of supplying their remedies to the public. This growth has all been within the pas ten years; and this is the third time tbeEickapoo lndian Medicine Company have outgrown their quarters since the first Introduc tion of the Kickapoo Remedies among the white people. Their business has grown in a ratio of one to a hundred; or in other words, they are now doing annually one hundred times the amount ot business they did the first year. Merit a Necessary Basis. This success resulted mainly from the intrinsic merit of the Kickapoo rem edies; since their introduction was largely attained with comparatively little or no advertising, and that prin cipally consisting ot patties of Indians with their interpreters traveling from town to town erecting their camps and showing the people just what the Kick apoo remedies were, and their use. lt was only within the past two years that the Kickapoo remedies have beeu advertised in the newspapers, and then only at first in certain sections after I their sale had been established, so as to keep the merits of the Kickapoo rem edies before the people. Tins news paper advertising, however, has been ot much benefit to the sale of these famous medicines, and has been largely instrumental in effecting the need of additional facilities. Many people who were not reached before are now using the Kickapoo Indian remedies, and some really astonishing cures have been wrought by these simple comp ;unds of roots, barks and herb's. When Newspaper Advertising Pays. Healy & Bigelow, the agents for the Kickapoo Indian Medicine Company, appreciate and indorse most heartily the value ot the newspaper advertising tor a meritorious article, and say: "We find that newspaper readers are very discriminating, and inclined to be skep tical at first, but alter you Have estab lished confidence in your goods and the people find that your statements are re liable, then your business is bound to increase and extend/ The Kiekapoo Remedies consist of only five articles, ail of which are purely the products if roots, barks, gums, leaves and flowers. They are absolutely free from mineral or other del. erious substances, as attested to after a chem ical analysis by R. 11. Crittenden, pro fessor ot physiological chemistry at Yale college. Kickapoo Indian Sagwa is a blood, liver anil stomach remedy. Kickaooo Indian Oil is a quick cure for all pains, silliness, soreness, rheumatism aim lire like. Kickapoo Indian Cough Cure, as the name implies, is lor throat and lung difficulties. Kickapoo Indian Salve is an excellent remedy for cuts, wounds, sores, eczema, etc.. and Kicka poo Indian Worm Killer is a harmless and absolutely certain remedy for those troubles so frequently met with among children, viz: beat, pin and stomach worms. The Sagwa retails for one dollar a bottle; the Cough Cure fifty cents; and the other remedies at twenty-live cents a bottle or package. There is probably not a drug store in the United Slates today where the Kickapoo remedies are not obtainable, and we are pi eased to say that Messrs. Healey & Bigelow have published in this paper, aud will continue doing so, some really marvelous cures effected by the Kickapoo Indian remedies, and also unimpeachable evidence of the absolute vegetaole purity of these simple, yet effectual compounds, that, as some one has said, bring "Long Life and Good Health." DENVBR EXCITED. Eleven Banks in That City Have Trouble — Yesterday's Calami ties. Denver, Col., July 18.— Union National bank, of which R. W. Wood bury is president, failed to open its doors this morning. The capital is $1, --000,000. No statement can be had. A run is now being made on City Na tional, German National, First Na tional, Colorado National and all the eleven clearing house banks. The McNamara dry goods house, one of the largest institutions of the kind, failed this morning. The liabilties are placed .at $260,000. The assets at this time are not known. The failure was brought on by an attachment served on the iiouse at 10 o'clock this morning by the Union National bank, which failed to open its doors this morning, for $71, --780, and the Colorado National ' bank for .-$20,847.74. The president of the lat ter bank had a private claim of $25,000, and D. Sheedy, an officer in the Denver National bank, one for $40,000. The , failure was not unexpected, but it had been hoped that money would be easier and that the firm would be able to pull through. The stringency in the money market and inability to place securities or secure an extension from the banks, aided by the closing of three savings banks yesterday, was the direct cause. Had the banks which closed yesterday been able to secure cash with which to carry it over the "hard spots" the fail ure would not have occurred. Nearly the entire amount falls on Denver banks and commercial houses. Hyman & Co , proprietors of the Bee Hive store; McWhirter <& Dipps, dealers in mantels and tiles, and Engle & Har ris, dry goods, have just assigned today. No statements available, but amounts probably not large. The Mercantile bank, with a capital of §100,000, has as signed to XV. F. Robinson. The Mercantile bank, a private insti tution, with a capital stock of $100,000, closed its doors at noon. The failure was caused by the failure of the Union National bank, through which it cleared. C. C. Mird, the city auditor, is the presi dent. W. A. Robinson, formerly treas urer of the Republican Publishing com pany, one of the oldest and most promi nent men in the state, has been named as assignee. Denver, July IS.— Commercial National bank has closed its doors. A notice says : "This bank has gone into liquidation by order of the board of directors." DENVER Col., July is.— The National Bank of Commerce has closed its doors. Ex-Gov. John F. Cooper is president of this bank. Denver, July IS.— The excitement and demand upon the banks for money continued unabated till about2o'clock when it had almost entirely subsided at all the banks except the State National and the German National, where the line of depositors seemed to increase in stead of diminish. This bank is under stood to have a special train on the way from Kansas City bearing $490,000, and that it will reach here early tomorrow morning. The First National bank received $170,000 at a little after l o'clock today, and $-250,000 more at the closing hour. This came from New York. It was money due President Moffatt for bullion he had sold. Just before the close the failure of the Mercantile Savings bank, with a capital of $100,000, was announced. Its assets are sufficient to pay all liabilities in time. At 'it o'clock, the closing hour, there wore hardly half a dozen people in any of the institutions except the above. D. U. Moffatt. president of the First National, stated that the deposits at his house during the day had greatly ex ceeded tho withdrawals. This bank has always been most conservatively man aged, and is almost exclusively owned by Mr. Moffatt. ":- -The general opinion among the bank ers aud business men is that the panic is over, and that no more banks will be .obliged to close, although the run in a mild way may continue against two or three banks for a day or two. ( J It is believed by financiers that to day's run will result in the poople hav ing more confidence in the strong banks, and that the money withdrawn today will at once be redeposited and a better feeling be established in financial circles, which will make money easier. " The suspended banks expect to re sume business in a short time. /Hie constant drain on the banks by scared depositors has brought about the crisis. It is stated by hankers that no less than $5,000,000 has been drawn from the banks in the last three months, Of this $3,000,000 has gone to the East in regular lines of business, but there is $5,000,0000 hoarded in the city. The safety deposit vaults are full, and there is reason to suppose that the homes of workinirmen contain secret places in which their savings are hidden. If one fifth of that amount were let into circu lation, the stringency in Denver would cease. Foist Scott, Kan., July 18.— The First National hank of this c.ty. the old est financial institution in Southeastern Kansas, suspended payment. The First National was established herein 1871, and was the oldest and largest national bank in Southeastern Kansas. It had a capital stock of $300,000, fully paid in, and has always stood ail runs. Some of theheaviest depositors of the bank say that they are confident they will not lose a dollar, and that the bank will resume business at an early date. A run on the People's Savings "bank was started, but the thirty-day law was taken advantage of, and the bank thus saved from being swamped. The fail uieof the First National has no effect on the other banks. Kansas City, July is. —The Star's Topeka (Kan.) special says: State Bunk Examiner Briedenthal this morning re ceived notice of the failures of the Cit izens' Bank of Kansas City, Kan.; of the Bank of Richmond, and of the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank of Ossa wjitainie. The concerns all did a smal business. Statements are unobtainable. Xi.c.aim:*:. Mich., July 18.'— Supt. Cole returned from -Milwaukee, where he conferred with Ferdinand Scliles singer, president of the Buffalo Mining company and heati of the Schlessinirer syndicate, lt is expected that nionev for the payment of all claims on which attachments were based will be forth coming in a few days. Other creditors manifest no uneasiness, and general opinion is that the embarrassment will be speedily overcome. Dispatches from Iron Mountain say mat the employes of the Chapin mine at iron Mountain, operated by the syndicate, will be paid a month s wages by Wednesday, which is a favorable indication of the syndi c-tie's ability to weatner tne storm." Ada, 0., July 18 —The Citizens' bank closed its door.*, tins morning. Cashier P. Ahlefeld made an assignment to his brother, N. Ahlefeld. of Kenton: U.. Monday night. It was a private bank and furnished the only banking lacii ties in the town. The anion of assets and liabilities could not he learned, but it-was the general impression that it would pay in full, 'lite streets were tilled with depositors awaiting a state mint as to the condition of affairs, j Ahlefeld is a contractor on the §30,000 j school building, runs a planing mill j plant and a large bricK yard, fie has j been, considered a very conservative I business man. .

Pittsbuisg, Kan., July 18.— At Litch field tnis morning it was noticed that three men went back to work in a strip pit near there. A committee of six or seven miners pleaded with them to stop work, but it did no good, The commit tee returned and reported that the men persisted in working, and a number of women went to the men and asked them to stop. This was refused, and the* , women began throwing coal and other missiles at them. This was too much for the men, and they picked up their tools and dinner pails and bent a hasty retreat. -699 President Walters returned from Weir City this morning, where he went last night to attend a meeting of miners. this morning, as a result of the meetings, two men stopped work at Kansas & Texas Shaft No. 18. This is the shaft that had been giving the strikers more or less trouble from the first Secretary Lacey, who accompan ied, Walters, remained at Weir, and will goto Scam this evening. Walters left "at noon today for Rich llill to, if possible, induce the men there to stop work. Sheriff Deets increased his force of deputies this morning so as to be pre pared for any emergency. Develop ments of a serious nature are expected in the vicinity of Litchfield at any time. I information reached here this morn ing that a stockade Is being built around the. Keith & Perry works in Scammon preparatory to putting men to work, and it is thought that hostilities will begin in earnest at that point in a few days. __ £ Chicago Rates Reduced.

THE DEPRESSION IN LONDON. The Decline All Along the Lino Was From One to Eight Points ■-—Outpouring of Long Stock on a Rumor of Bank Failures — The Close Slightly Firmer. New York, July IS.— Speculation at the stock exchange was characterized by great depression. A sharp decline iv American securities at London, coupled with rumors of financial em barrassment of an important house there and heavy sales for foreign ac count, started liquidations here on an extensive scale, and prices declined rapidly. Urged on by their success, the bears circulated stories affecting the credit of some of the most promi nent houses in London, Berlin and Amsterdam. On this side the leading factor in creating anxiety as to the stock market was the panic reported in Denver, where a general run was made upon the banks. The bears simply car ried everything before them, and a very uneasy feeling, prevailed in stock cir cles, although it is to be said that the local money market remained easy, and, despite the great shrinkage in values, not a single failure occurred at the Stock Exchange. The decline was equal to I@9 points as com pared with the final quotations of yes terday and toward the close stocks were sold almost regardless ot price.

September opened weak and %c lower than yesterday's close, and before noon had declined l%c. Cash wheat stronger than September, owing to the milling demand. .Buyers and sellers were far apart in spot wheat, the former main -1 taining that the same drop in price should take place in cash wheat as in September. But the sellers did not give away to the demand for a drop, but maintained prices. The weakness here was not so pronounced as in Chicago and Eastern markets.

(.'liimilter of Commerce Prices of wheat futures broke badly early in the day. The feeling was weak. The weakness was more pronounced, however, in the winter wheat than in the spring wheat markets. Receipts of new wheat at St. Louis were large. Stocks were lower, which had a bad effect on wheat. Some failures were re ported in the West, and this caused some selling in Eastern markets on the fear of further financial troubles. Con siderable long wheat came out on the break and this helped to make it easier for the bears to force prices off still lower. The day's sales for export were reported large at Atlantic seaboard j points. September sold down to 01}£c, j 2c lower than Monday.
