THE FINANCIAL IFLURHY.

Tho Government Will Do AH lu Tin 1'nwar

Kiihtern and Western Einnnclors A
Sjicclnl ntcftMigo From tho President.
New Yonic, Dec. 13. Secretary Windom,
who nrriveil in New York this morning, held a
three-hours' conference with a uumber of
bankers on the financial situation. A full ex
pression of tho views of tho financiers on the
financial situation, the effect of additional
silver legislation, and other matters was ob
tained, and then the conference ended. Tho
statement that the Secretary would mako was
that ho was gratified at news in tho movement
of gold from Europe to this country, and the
Government would do all in its power to give
relief to the financial and mercantile communi
ties. Ho refused absolutely to bo interviewed,
but parties close to him state that ho will not take
any immediate action as the result of the
conference. Ho will probably remain in New
York over night, but will be in Washington on
Monday. The following gentlemen attended
the conference: J. O. Stuart, president of tho
United States Trust Company; President Knox,
of the Bank of the Republic; Maker, of tho First
.National Bank; Williams,of the Chemical Bank;
Coe, of the American Exchange; Ives, of the
Western National; 1'erkins, of tho Importers'
and Traders'; Cannon, of the Chase National;
Tappen, of tho Gallatin; King, of the Bank of
Commerce, and J. PierepontMorgau, Jesse Selig
man, and James B. Colgate.
Tho Tribune will say: "It is unherstood that
-Mr. Windoni intimated that a frco coinage of
silver bill was likely to be bo passed at tho
present session af Congress, unless forestalled
by some action. The suggestion of Treasurer
Huston that the fractional silver coin should
bo transferred to the bullion account, and that
the Secretary should be authorized to issue
silver certificates for it, was discussed. Tho
treasurer also wished to include the trade
dollar bullion which, with tho fractional silver
would make a fresh issue of about 25,000,000,
curreucy. Another proposal was that tho
Treasury should buy each month, in addition to
the legal requirement of 4,500,000 ounces of
silver, enough more to counteract the retire
ment of national bank notes. The withdrawals
of natioal bank currency amount to
about $1,250,000 a month, or $15,000,000
a year, and it was proposed that
the Secretary should buy enough silver to mako
good this contraction. Tho proposition that
was received with most favor was tuat the
Treasury should bo authorized to buy at once
all tho silver in sight of American production.
Tho amount cannot bo ascertained. The
official report of tho Mercantile Safe
Deposit Company, mado to-day to
tho Stock Exchange, showed 0,200,S79
ounces of silver bullion on hand,
and in some quarters it was estimated that at
least as much more would bo brought out by
this legislation. It seemed to be tho general
opinion at tho mooting and it was encouraged
by Secretary Windom that even if the amount
was above $13,000,000 this course would bo
preferable to a free coinage bill.
Secretary Windom and the persons who con
sulted with him were agreed on ono point, that
no definite action can been taken as a result of
the conference. Tho Secretary authorized tho
statement that ho had done nothing for tho im
mediate relief of the money market.
WHAT Tim l'KESIllENT WILT, 1)0.
Tho President and his Cabinet considered tho
financial condition of tho country at a meeting
yesterday, and as a result the President, it is
understood, will send a message to Cougress
early next week suggesting, as a measure of
relief, the enactment of 'legislation for the ad
ditional currency based on increased purchases
of 6ilver.
Secretary AVindom, who Is in Now York City
conferring with bankers as to the best method
of affording prompt relief, is 6aid to favor tho
purchasing of tho present stock of silver,
amounting to about 13,000,000 ounces, and tho
purchase also of au additional amount equal to
tho annual retirement of national bank notes,
estimated at $20,000,000, thereby adding about
$30,000,000 to tho circulation.
lUH'UW.ICAN SENATOltS 1'NAltM: TO AQUEE.
All of tho members of tho Republican Sena
torial Caucus Committee to doviso a scheme of
financial relief were present at tho prolonged
meetings yesterday. Tho discussion had tho
effect to "indicate that a majority of tho
committee would favor tho plan of
purchasing tho thirteen million dollars surplus
silver, and also tho Sherman proposition to re
deem tho amount of United States bonds re
quired to bo hold by national banks. Further
than this there was no sign of common ground
upon which tho diverse elements represented
on tho committee could find standing-room.
Mr. Tappen, president of tho Gallatin Na
tional Bank, said tills afternoon that tho cur
rent talk about gold being hoarded up in sav
ings banks aud trust companies boyond their
average balances was all nonsense; ho did not
believe, and ho spoko advisedly, that tue6o in
stitutions had any mora specie on hand now
than they had this time last year. He regarded
tho bank statement issued to-day as favoiablo,
aud thought tho financial situation was decid
edly improved. Tho only cause for uneasiness
now was tho failure of commercial houses all
over tho country. That, no doubt, however,
was inevitable to 6omo extent with people who
had been trading on moro borrowed capital
than thoir business and credit warranted.
A member of tho firm of Fred Buttcrflold it
Co. said this morning: "I seo it is stated in tho
financial columns of tho newspapers that call
loans are mado at 3J per cent. I think that
statement is misleading. Purely financial firms
may bo ablo to get call loans at such rates, but
the commercial houses aro unablo to obtain
loans from tho banks for less than 10 and 12
per cent."
Chicago, Dec. 13. It is tho opinion of a
number of the loading bankers of Chicago that
tho financial Hurry is ovldently over. Tho
situation, thoy acknowledge, was 6erious, but
much magnified by financiers who acted with
Imprudence.
John J. Mitchell, president of tho Illinois
Trust und Savings Bank, said: "Every
thing seems to have quieted down. Tho
situation is normal. Sterling exchange has
returned to currout rates, Now York Ex
change tho samo. Banks aro loanlug moro
liberally. It is simply a question of confidence,
becausouo ono has been cramped. Banks are
runniug strong, Collections were never better,
and I can seo no reason why business affairs
should not atonco bo as they wcro before this
calamity threatened."
Chauncoy J. Blair, president of tho Mer
chants' National Bank, said: "The panic is
over. I do not think thcro Ir any uneasiness
hero in Chicago. Generally tho banks aro in r.
very strong condition, and am able to take care
of their customers. So far as wo now can see
thcro will bo no further disturbance."
D. B. Dewey, of tho American Exchango Na
tional Bank, said : "Tho trouble is over if
people will only keep cool and lovcl-heaucd.
Boyond controversy tho West is prosperous,
and values aro on a sound basis.
Banks have all the money neces
sary to protect legitimate industries
and bankers aro disposed properly to uro thoir
resources for this purpose. Chicago has no oc
casion to appeal to tho United States Treasurer
for 'aid nor to resort to clcaring-houso certi
ficates as an expedient. Other failures
will occur in tho liquidating process now
goincron, but tho parties embarrassed will bo
speculators or manufacturers and merchants
too extended to be safe at any time and will
mean nothing but tho logical result of impru
dent and unwise conduct of their affairs. All
solvent interests will bo protected and the final
effect will be heathful to general business."
THK NKAVARK'S TRTAli TRTP.
She Was Doing JUiicnUlconll.v When Her
Machinery lirnlco.
Philadelphia, Dec. 13. The cruiser New
ark, which wentout to sea yesterday on hernial
trip, passed Newcastle, Del., on her way up to
this city at 10:15 o'clock this morning. Tho
cruiser was brought back to the shipyard for
repairs. The trial will probably be mado some
time next week.
The break in machine', which occuired
during tho first trial on Wednesday, was re
paired, and on Thursday night audonFiiday
morning tho Newark was headed out to i-ea
again. The wiud was blowing a galo from tho
northwest, and the Newark was running noith
northeast, with the wind two points forward the
fort beam. The official trial had been
n progress for three hours, when the
two bolts in the radial gear of the low
pressure cjdindcr of the starboard engine,
which had broken on Wednesday, and had
been replaced, broke again, and for the second
time the trial came to a close. Tho disappoint
ment on board at this second accident was
kecu, as the cruiser was doing magnificently
and bid fair to surpass expectations.
Owing to the accident no official returns of
the trip will bo made to the Navy Department,
but from a Navy officer who was aboard, and
who carefully watched tho workings of the ves
sel, it was learned that during the three hours
of the trial she logged an average speed of 19.7
knots, or about twenty-three miles an
hour. Although tue indicator curds
were not worked out, it is thought that
about 9,500 horso power, one hundred more
than the specifications called for, was developed.
If this proves true the Newark builders will
make a handsome bonus, a premium of $100
for every horse power called for beinc guaran
teed. Up to the time of the break in the
machinery the average revolutions had about
been ono hundred and twenty-eight and the
steam pressure about ono hundred aud sixty.
The samo officer said that, although every
sea tossed up by the cruiser's bow
was carried in spray over the vessel
by the wind, not a single sea was shipped. He
also said that she was one of the steadiest
ships ho had ever been on. Despite tho heavy
sea that was running and the vibiatlous of tho
machinery her guns could have been fought as
easily as If she had been on land. After tho ac
cident took placo tho Newark was headed
about, and, with one engine working, returned
to tho Delaware Bay aud anchored over night.
The naval trial board of officers all expressed
tho greatest enthusiasm over the showing made
by the Nowurk, and predict that she will prove
ono of the highest powered cruisers of her class
in tho world. Another trial will be made as
soon as tho vessel is coaled and provisioned.

shocking accident occurred at tho Mill-street
railroad crossing this afternoon by which four

crossing tho track on foot, was albo struck by
the engine and instantly killed. Two other per

Two CowbojH Slnin Governor Mellette
Snys it is Time for tho Army to "Gotn
JIovo on Itself, und Do Something to
Protect Settlors."
Piekue, S. D., Dec, ,13. Governor Mellette
has been in recidpt of numerous telegrams to
day nt Buffalo Gap, Hcrinosa, and other points
in tho hills, telling of a battle yesterday on
French Creek between tho Indians and tho set
tlers, in which threo of the former Were killed,
and appealing for moie lilies aud ammunition
to arm tho settlers. The Governor thinks the
fight will probably result In bringing matters
to a focus, and cause tho Army to get a move
on itself aud do something to protect settlers
and maintain the authority of the Government.
Den-veii, Col., Dec. 12. A news courier
from French Rock, Dak., says that the most
authentic reports from Capt. Wells aro that
a largo party of Indians attacked eighteen men,
four miles below the creek, this afternoon.
Several of tho men wero wounded, aud it is
thought that four Indians were killed. It is
expected that au engagement will take place
in the morning with the hostlles near Butte
Creek.
O.maha, Ned., Dec. 13. A Jice special from
tho camp ou Spring Creek by courier to
Rapid City, S. D., says that an encounter took
place yesterday between a band of cowboys
aud a number of Indians at Daly's ranch,
about the mouth of Battle Creek, west of the
Cheyeuuo River. The cowboys killed threo
Indians. One of the cowboys was seriously
wounded.
Tomiistone, Amz., Dee. 13. Information
was received hero to-day that two white men,
Jack Bridges aud Burk Robinson, were killed
by Apaches in the Guadalupe mountains yester
day. Chicago, Dec. 13. Gen. Miles says he does
not place any credence in the report that
there has been a battle between the troops and
the Indians in the Northwest. He had a tele
gram from Gen. Brooke yesterday, to the effect
that a rumor that tho Indiaus wero fighting
themselves had reached the agency. No further
report had been lecelvcd from him, and thcro
was no reason to believe that there had been a
conflict with the soldiers.
A despatch received from Omaha, Neb., says
that no battle has occurred between the United
States troops and Indians near Pine Ridge
agency as reported.
Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 13. Journal's
(Rushvllle, Neb.) special says that tho fight yes
terday was between two bands of Indians
growing out of a dispute as to whether they
should go to Pino Ridge Agency and give up
their arms. Several are reported killed. The
despatch says nothing about a fight between
tho whites aud tho Indians.
Pine Ridge Aoenci, S. D Dec. 13. Re
ports of the fight between the Indians in tho
Bad Lauds are confirmed. Two Strike and his
party weio victorious, and left the Bad Lands
for Pine Ridge Agency, camping ou White
Earth River. The chief sent in to Gen. Brooke,
asking for help to capture Short Bull aud his
warriors. Tho General called in American
Horse, Big Road, aud other chiefs, and set
them at work recruiting fighters. About threo
hundred warriors aro now ou the way to bring
in all who remain in the Bad Lands. Many
fear it will end simply in tho llight of Short
Bull, who will return to his stronghold as soou
as this band returns.

after tho body was discovered, and cutting
it down removed it to Lyneh's home. Tho
officer found that Lynch was regarded by his
neighbors as of unsound mind, and since the
death of his wife has been living in extreme
poverty at his home. Ho was employed as a
laborer in Oak Hill Cemetery, and at ono timo
was a perfect Hercules iu strength, but whisky
and old ago had reduced him to a mere shadow
of his old self. Tho coroner viewed tho body
and thought an inquest unnecessary. It is
believed that Lynch hung himself late .Friday
night. When discovered the body was cold
and stiff.

Tho deciding gamo for tho District foot-ball
championship was played yesterday at Capitol
Park between tho Columbia Athletics and the
team from Kendall Institute. The Columbias
won on their merits, and their claim for the
championship now remains secure for the year.
Tho game was practically a walk-over for them,
as their opponents wero too light to stand up
against the rushes of Messrs. Ranier, Vea6ey,
Wells, Wado, and Harbau. Still tho Kendalls
played a stubborn game, tackling well and in
the scrimmages making a pretty fair showing.
The work of Little Ryan, their half-back, was
the featuro of tho gamo. Once, when near the
centre of the field, ho managed to get through
the line, and, dodging tho halves and quarter
back, made a splendid run, and, eluding But
terworth, too, scored a touch-down." But
terworth, as usual, did brilliant work.
There was quite a crowd present.
Right here it might be well to state that out
siders who do not understand tho gamo ought
to behave themselves. At ono point of the
game yesterday tho crowd became very abusive.
At 3:30 tho two teams lined up for prelimi
naries, tho umpire, Mr. Charles H. Boynton,
and the referee, Mr. Luther Harrison, calling
them up. Tho two teams were as follows:
Colttmbta&. Positions. Kendalls.
Taylor Right end Rounds
Wells Right tackle Hubbard
Lewis Right guard Dought
Wade Centre Brown
Ranier Left cuard Cusack
Byrnes Left tackle Taylor
Lcc Left cud Rives
Burroughs Quarter-back Beddell
Veazey Half-back Stewart
Harlan Half-back Ryan
Buttcrworth Full-back Odom
Ou tho lino up tho Columbias had the ball,
and, forming tho V, made several yards, which!
by good rushing of Veasey and Burroughs,
they increased to within ten yards of the goal
line. Tho Kendalls secured "the ball on the
third down, but could not make much head
way. On tho kick out of Odom down to deep
centre-field Butterworth made a good catch,
and, running well, secured a touch-down. He
then failed to kick goal, and iu the first seven
minutes the score was 4 to 0, in favor of the C.
A. C. On the line up tho Kendalls had the
ball, but they could make no game. Odom
made another attempt to kick, but the Colum
bias secured the ball and gradually worked it
down field. When near the line "Butterworth
kicked, but Odom quickly lotumed it to the
field. Right here tho Columbias mado a series
of clever rushes and soon worked the spheriod
over the line for another touch-down and But
terworth kicked goal. Score, 10 to 0. On line
up the Kendalls lost tho ball on a fumblo of
Ryan and tho rushes of the C. A. C. Ranier,
Lewis, and Wells got in somo clever work, as
sisted by runs of Veasey, and Harban and
Burrougbs's skillful passing, and worked the
ball down to the line, and Butterworth was
rushed over for another touch-down. The ball
was punted out, Veasey made a good
catch, and then Butterworth kicked goal.
Score, 10 to 0, in twenty-two minutes
On the lino up the Kendalls forced the ball for
the first time over tho centre of the field,
and by some clover work of Beadell aud Ryan
and Taylor, gained twenty-fivo yards. Tho
Kendalls kept gaining and then Odom gave the
ball a kick to within ton yards of tho line. But
terworth mado return, the Kendalls again
mado return, and tho ball was iu tho advantage
of tho Kendalls when tho first half of the game
was called. Score, 16 to 0.
On tho second half the crowd interfered with
the playing considerably, aud it was with diffi
culty that tho gamo could bo followed. The
Kendalls worked up for twenty yards, but lost
tho ball ou a foul. Butterworth made good
gains, as also did Ranier and Byrne, lu a
scramble tho Kendalls secured tho ball and
Ryan mado two beautiful runs. Tho Columbias
again got tho ball and carried it over tho Hue
