Than $2,000,000 in Gold
in Three Days.
New York, June 14.— The shipment
ef currency to the West and South by
New York banks was continued today,
and excited much comment in financial
circles. The amount sent out yester
day was estimated at more than $1,000,
--000, and another trillion was ordered to
day. When asked as to the cause of
this lorge shipment of currency, which
is mainly to the West (the amount sent
out within the past ten days is believed
to exceed .?14,OOJ,000), bankers agreed in
saying that the demand was largely due
to the distrust prevailing everywhere
in this country, especially in the West,
where there have been a great many
failures, both of banks and of commer
cial 'louses.
Tho stringency of the money market
is being experienced at both ends of the
line now. The savings banks, as well
as other banks out West, are all fortify
ing themselves as much as possiole, and
that, especially in the case of the coun
try savings banks, is causing a hoarding
oi money in those places, aud
A Consequent Drain
upon the banks of New York city. As
a result ot this many New "York banks
are being compelled to call in loans in
order to maintain their lawful reserve.
Their lines of discount and time loans
are practically fixed so that they cannot
be disturbed, and so they have no alter
native but to ask for the payment of
their call loans in case then maturities
do not meet their daily needs. The
tending forward of wheat.it is believed,
will only account for a very small part
of the demand for currency- from the.
West. Last week the United States
treasury took (1,000,000 from the banks
as the result of the week's operations,
but this week it is expected that the
banks will pain at least 1,000,000 from
the treasury, and very probably more
next week, as the payment of pensions
has begun and will reach its height
text week.
r As an indication of how this mone
tary stringency is affecting trade in all
its ramifications, it was reported in Wall
street today that three lame mercantile
houses In Chicago were endeavoring to
get extensions in this city from whole
sale houses of which they had bought
goods. Another indication of the strin
gency is the fact that a large mercantile
house in this city, of first-class credit
and
Abundant Assets
liad to pay 12 per cent for extension
to tide it over a tight place. The lack
ot buying is also reported to be one ot
the unfavorable conditions noticed by
large wholesale houses in this city, and
it is generally attributed to the curtail
ments of credits, the bad state of affairs
in the West, and generally to the money
stringency and lack of confidence.
"If merchants here or elsewhere can
not meet their currentobligations," said
one bank officer, "they cannot very well
buy more goods, except on credit, and
tin's is precisely the condition existing
all over the country today. The liquida
tion must perforce continue, and, when
confidence is restored, business will look
up again."'
Dealers say the transactions in gov
ernment bonds lately have been a little
in excess of the usual amount. They
amount to about $1,500,000 in the last
fortnight. The supply has come chiefly
from the West, and no doubt represents
sales by savings banks and other insti
tutions. There has been very little sup
ply from near-by institutions. The total
amount sold by Eastern institutions will
probably not amount to more than
8300,000 or $400,000 in the period. There
lias been a decline of about 1 per cent
in the price.
TREASURY CONDITIONS.
Net Gold Increasing at a Satis-
Washington, June 14.— The treasury
fold is being built up by the deposit in
New York of gold certificate's in ex
change lor currency orders in the West.
The demand for money in the West
still continues, and through this ex
change the treasury is receiving gold at
the same time it is accommodating the
New York banks In placing currency at
"Western points. The net gold in the
treasury at the close of business was
Ji»2,138.815, an increase of neatly f 1,000,
--000 over the day before, and anincrease
of more than ?2,000.000 during the week.
Secretary Morion has an explanation
for the improvement in the financial
situation.
"1 was in Chicago," he said, "during
the run that was made on the banks
there. 1 stood in the window of one of
the largest commission houses and
watched the crowds anxious to draw out
their savings. One of the oSicers of
the institution called a clerk and author
ized him to sell at once 300,000 bushels
of wheat at what price he could. The
sale was quickly made for shipment to
Liverpool at about 77;^ cents. It would
seem that we have reached the price at
which foreign markets will purchase
our wheat, and it is now going abroad.
Instead, therefore, of gold shipments,
there will be exchanges for cereals, aud
the financial problem will be easier."
•'1 have no doubt that we shall be able
to repeal the Sherman la\y,''said Repre
sentative Wilson, of West Virginia,
this evening, "but the question is as to
what condition or compromise will have
to be acceded to first. lam rather ex
pecting that we shall have to also re
pea! the 10 per cent tax on state bank
circulation. The Southern members, 1
believe, are very anxious to have
this matter adjusted. They are
free silver men for the reason
that they believe it would
provide an increased volume of cur
rency. If they can produce the same
result by another means they will be
equally satisfied. Ido not believe that
it would be a dangerous experiment to
again start state banks. They would
not be like the wildcat institutions be
fore the war. Their notes would not
be legal tender, and no one would be
compelled to accept them unless they so
leaned. The volume of circulating
medium throughout the country would,
however, be largely increased."

CALL'S REMEDY.
He Would Make National Banks
Issue More Notes.
New Yohk, June 14.— According to a
Washington dispatch Senator Call, of
Florida, is quoted as remarking to a
friend who asked him what means he
would take to relieve the depression in
business circles:
"I would require the national banks
to issue more notes. The purpose for
which they were given the right to issue
a circulating medium was to keep the
people supplied with the money they
need. If the people need more money
now, the banks ought to furnish it, and.
it they won't do it otherwise,there must
be some way of reaching them by legis
lation."
Declnree a Dividend.
Ni:w York, June 14.— At the meeting
of the Western Union directors today

declared, payable July 15.
THE ADA POSTOFFICE.
A Good Story in Regard to the
Factions.
Special to tno Globe.
Washington, June 14.— Behind the
appointment of H. M. Hunting as post
master at Ada, the lively capital of
Norman county, there is a little story
that goes to show that President Cleve
land has no time for Democrats who
fail to support the congressional nomi
nees of the party. Joseph M. Ilerringer
was all along the most prominent candi
date for the appointment, having the
indorsement of Hon. James E. O'Brien,
of Crookston, member of the state cen
tral committee from the fourteenth judi
cial district, and other influential Demo
cratic leaders. Hon. W. F. Kelso, can
didate for congress in the Seventh dis
trict last fall, very vigorously protested
against Herringers appointment on the
ground that be had not given his sup
port to him in the last campaign, but,
on the contrary, he had cut his (Kel
so's) throat, working openly for another
candidate, Feig, Republican. Kelso
recommended Louis M. White. In the
meantime Mr. Hunting prepared an ap
plication and secured tho signatures of
a large number of the patrons of the
ottice to a petition which he sent to the
postoftice department, along with a let
ter from Congressman Baldwin, stating
that Hunting was a good man and a
staunch Democrat, whose appointment
would give satisfaction all around. All
these papers reached the president,
who promptly turned down the candi
dates of what appeared to be two fac
tions, and appointed Mr. Hunting.

HIS LASHREE RIDE,
Fatal Accident on the Ice

the Track.
One of the Occupants Killed
and Six Others Fear

Collapse of a Three-Story
Brick Building: at Keo
kuk, 10.
Chicago, June 14.— The first serious
accident since the opening of the fair
occurred on Midway Plaisance at G:3O
this evening. One man maugled and
dead and live men and -women terrfbly
injured tell the tale of the last trip of a
coasting train on the ice railway. The
Victims of the catastrophe are:
Dead— N. D. Richmond, Dunlap, 111..
face terribly torn, three ribs broken and
injured internally; died one hour after
being removed to the Columbian hos
pital.
Seriously Injured— Miss May Ayres.
Chicago, both arms broken, jaw crushed
in and internal injuries; Carl Friek,
member of the German cavalry band in
the German village on the Plaisance,
right arm broken, nose broken and back
and legs hurt; John Jacobs, Algerian
village, jaw broken and crushed about
the head; Henry Jame.«, Algerian vil
lage, left leg cut and bruised, internal
injuries 1 ; D. S. .Slater. Chicago, right leg
cut and bruised; Henry Mel,eouth,
Austin, 111., leg cut. finger broken and
back hurt.
The ice railway was completed this
afternoon, and was not opened for bus
iness at the time of the accident. The
ice railway resembles a roller coaster
track, except that the track is
Covered With Artiticfal Ice.
The construction was tested by the
builders this afternoon, and many trial
trips were successfully made with
the workmen as passengers. The public
became interested in the experiment,
and, as nobody prevented, people took
advantage of the opportunity to
get a free ride. The train which
met with disaster was made of three
sleds coupled together. As it was round
ing a curve at a terrifiu rate of speed
the chain connecting the first and sec
ond sleds broke. The second and third
sleds jumped the track.crashed through
the frail railing and threw their helpless
occupants through the air to the ground
below with tremendous force.
A Cry of horror went up from the
spectators. Guards rushed to the scene,
and in an incredioly short space of
times were removed in ambulance to the
Columbian hospital nearby, where
everything was done to relieve their
sufferings. Richmond never regained
consciousness after the accident,
and the physiciaus saw at once there
was no hope of saving his life. The
other victims were mane as comfortable
as possible, and afterwards some were
removed in ambulances to the city hos
pital and others to their homes. Miss
Ayres and John Jacobs sustained the
most serious injuries and their recovery
is doubtful. The others, while seriously
hurt, are expected to survive. The ac
cident is expected to put a serious check
on the ice railway and similar enter
prises for the time being, at least.
Those in charge of the railway are se
verely blamed for permitting people
to risk their lives before the contrivance
had been more thoroughly tested.
BUILDING COLLAPSED.
Four Children and a Man May
Be Bnricd in the Wreck.
Kkokuk, la., June 14.— With but a

EULALIA DEPARTS.
The Spanish Infanta Leaves. the
World's Fair City for Ni

Her Special Train Runs From
Chicago to Detroit Without
Making Any Stops. ■
Chicago. June 14.— Her Royal High
ness Princess Eulalia bowed good bye
to Chicago this morning from the rear
platform of her special train as it pulled
out for Niagara Falls. ' Her departure
from her hotel for the train was wit
nessed by a mass of people thicker than
on any day since the : infanta arrived.
The corridor leading from the en
trance to the elevator had a line of
people on either side.. From the ele
vator, through the doorway to the curb,
extended a dark red-carpet, which had
been strewji with flowers. . Facing the
hotel Companies B and X, of the Sev
enth regiment, ; United States cavalry,
were drawn up in single file dress
parade. * The companies came twenty
four miles to act as escort
for the princess. Up stairs, in
the hotel a larger crowd than
usual had assembled to catch a farewell
glimpse of the infanta. Potter Palmer's
fine coach and four handsome bays
awaited the princess. Eulalia, clad in
a light cloth traveling suit and sailor
hat, stepped lightly into the carriage,
followed by Prince Antoine, the
Duke of'Taihames and Mayor Harri
son. Commander Davis and the royal
suite entered the remaining carriages, i
The cavalry wheeled to '.he front, and
amid cheers from the multitude, the
procession started and the party was
soon at the depot. The cavalry drew up
at "present swords" on the left curb,
and a cordon of police was drawn up,
with clubs presented, on the right. Sta
tioned near was the Saragossa band,
which played the Spanish national hymn
as her royal highness passed. The
princess, on the arm of Mayor Har
rison, ascended the " stairway, passed
through the waiting room, and immedi
ately descended to her private car,
which was in waiting below. - She
mounted the rear platform at once and
remaiued there until the train left, fol
lowed by a ringing good-bye cheer from
the crowd. ' •
Detroit, Mich., June 14.— The Span
ish infanta honored Detroit with her
presence today, although her stay here
was but a few minutes in duration.
The special train bearing the princess
and her suite reached here at 3:10
p. /in., having made the ' run from
Chicago in a little over six hours.
Although the run was in very fast
time, it was in safety and without dis
comfort to those on board. No stops
were made en route. When the train
pulled into the union depot there was a
large crowd assembled to see the prin
cess, made up largely of railroad em
ployes and a few others who were aware
that the royal party would stop here."
The crowd suriounded the car and tried .
to get .'a glimpse of the infanta.
They were enabled to get a good look at .
her when she alighted a few minutes
later with her husband, Prince Antoine,.
Commander Davis and several members
of her suite. Under the escort of Presi
dent U. B. Ledvard, of the Michigan
Central railroad, they walked over, to
the dock, several hundred feet away,
and got'- on • board the railroad
magnate's steam yacht Wayward, which
had been dressed up with Spanish and
American 1 colors.. As the trim little •
craft left the dock to steam across: to
Windsor, Out., where the party should
await the train, which was ferried
over, three cheers : were given' for the
princess. She acknowledged the com
pliment with a pleased smile and bow.
The remainder of the party stayed on - !

Specials to the Globe.
Pauk Rapids, Minn., June 14.— The
intense excitement which has prevailed
here the past three days has in no wise
abated. The people feel inclined to go
out and wipe out the redskins, but they
are too few in number to cope with the
savages, and must await the arrival
of the United States regulars. The
mail arrived from Leech Lake today,
bringing the information that Ihe In
dian shot by Dr. Walker is not dead.
The Indians at that point are said to
have grown comparatively quiet during
the past twenty-four hours, although
thirty or forty of them still surround
the house where Dr. Walker is located
He is virtually their prisoner, and what
they intend to do with him in the event
that he attempts to escape is an open
question. He still has provisions, and
if an inkling could be got to him that
the troops are under wny he would
koubtless remain under cover another
day. The mail brings here a very com
plete story of how the trouble which re
sulted so seriously originated. A young
buck brought halt' a dozen bottles of
whisky into the cam d in a sack, and
when Dr. Walker heard about it, he
hunted the young inebriate up and took
the booze away from him by main force.
The young redskin followed the physi
cian and begged him to return one bot
tle of the fire water. This Dr. Walker
refused to do, and, turning suddenly,
drew his revolver. In wheeling he
caught his foot in some vines and fell,
the pistol being discharged, the ball
entering the Indian's face inside the
nose. Dr. Cutler was called from Park
Knuids to dress the wound, but has not
yet returned. There is a general feel
ing of uneasiness lest the Indians learn
t bat -United States .troops are on the
way. kill Dr. Walker and settlers round
about the agency and flee to the north
ward.
BiiAiXEKD.Minn.. June 14.— Company
D, Third infantry. United States regu
lars, with Lieut. McCoy in command,
moved northward at 7:80 this morning.
The weather is extremely sultry, 94 in
the shade, and the march will be s
slow that it will be impossible for the
command to reach Leech lake until
some time tomorrow. News by courier
from the reservation is to the effect that
the Indians have thrown out a double
line of pickets in the direction of Park
Rapids, and are preparing to defend
themselves frWi attack. The whole
number of Indians in the recalci
trant tribe is 400, and the fear
is expressed that a single com
pany of regulars, without artillery, will
hardly be able to cope with the whole
Indian camp. The soldiers were ac
companied from this point by Agent
Ruffee. of the White Earth agency. No
news whatever has been received of the
fate of Dr. Walker. Mrs. Walker and
her daughter were in Minneapolis on
their way to Chicago when the news of
Dr. Walker's capture by the savages
reached them. They are now hasten
ing back to the reservation, and are ex
pected to reach Park Rapids tomorrow.
A courier from the north at 6 o'clock this
evening said the troops had already
gone to within seventeen miles of the
hostile camp, but"" that they would
bivouac for the night and push forward
at daybreak tomorrow.

RATES CUT IN HALF.
The Great Northern Sets the
Passenger War in
Motion
By Reducing- the Fare From
St. Paul to the Coast
and Between.
Fare From Seattle, First
Class, Knocked From $60
Down to $35.
Other Roads Invited to Con
fer If There's Any
thing in It.
The expected has happened in the
threatened war in passenger rates be
tween St. Paul and the Pacific coast.
'ihe Great Northern railroad last night
took the bit in its teeth and promulgated
a rate sheet for passenger service that
will take competing lines by surprise.
When the several conferences on the
subject adjourned without action or
agreement, it was thought possible the
Great Northern would hold otT its band
at least until another elTort at confer
ence was had. Its failure to do so is ex
plained in the circular issued last night.
The cut in the passenger rates is very
radical. In first class the cut Is an
average of 41 per cent and in second
class nearly S3. The following shows
the new rates quoted and tho card as at
present:
Pacific Coast Points— Old. first class,
foo; new. 835; second class, old, ?3;i;
new, 82Sb
Spokane— Old. first class. 156.50; new,
$30: second class, old. $33; new. <"jo.
Helena and Butte— OlJ, first class,
?40; new. ?25; secoud class old, 925;
new, 118.
The action of the Great Northern, as
woll as the inducing causes, will be
found in the following circular, promul
gated last night:
On the Mil inst. the lines competing
for North Pacific t-oast passenger traffic
were notffted of our dissatisfaction with
the conditions under which such traflie
was being handled, for the reason that
from 75 to 80 per cent of the business,
in both directions, was being carried
upon a second-clr.ss basis, indicating
that a large percentage of this second
class business was only so in name and
the direct result of unnatural concli
tions.--
A conference was requested. Several
interested parties failed to attend. This
was also the result ot a further confer
ence called for a later day— ln both in
stances the only line represented being
the Northern Pacific railroad. On the
18th inst, our representative met some
of the interested parlies. This confer
ence was not productive of any satis
factory result.
li is not to be expected, therefore,
that inaugurating our through service
we shall provide a higher basis of rates
for first-class travel than has prevailed
by the lines of its competitors, and we,
therefore, announce that our basis of
first class rates will be the rate at which
travel is carried in tourist cars. It fur
ther belu-ves that for the essentially
second-class travel a rate should be
made, west-bound, contemplating rea
sonable accommodations therefor.
Therefore, effective the isth inst., the
followine rates will be made:
From our Easteiu Terminals to—
Clnss. Class.
Northern Pacific coast points.*;!") iiO $'.'5 00
Spokane. Wash HO 00 20 03
Helena and Butte -'5 00 IS DO
The lirst class rates named above will
apply in both directions; the second
class rates west-bound only. Tickets
sold at these rates will be limited to
continuous passage.
It should be understood that we are
willing to meet our competitors with
the view of adjusting the conditions
which bring about these results, at any
time and place that may suit their con
venience.
The equipment on our trains will be
new, consisting of first and second
class coaches, free colonist cars, bullet
library and parlor car, dining cars and
first-class sleepers.

Mr. Thomas, the attorney for the dis
trict, to assist Coroner Patterson in
coducting it. In view of Dr. Patterson's

seriously of appointing a new coroner,
