BANKS ARE INTRENCHED OKI \ \ SEVERE CRISIS CAM BRING MONEY Ttl AM ACUTE STAGE Weekly Statement Show* the Clear ing House Concerns to Ile iv a Stronger Position Xow Than They Were a Week Aro <_olil Imports I Are v .Measure of Safety. NEW YORK, Macrh 12.— -The Finan- f ■;. i says: Su far as relative strength Is concerned, the New York clearing j house banks are in a stronger position j now than at the close of business one I week ago. The policy of retrenchment j k-.

Early in the week the liquidation in loans was a marked feature, as a mun- | ber of the banks were below their re s. rye requirements, and desired, natu rally, to Increase their cash holdings. Tlie unsettled stork exchange con ditions have also contributed towards the falling off shown In the averag-s. j The banks appear to have lost $4,465, --400 iii legal tenders, but the receipts of the tlrst g.>M imports swelled the i Bpecie Item 53.938.700, so that the actual loss in casta for the week ■ was only 1736,700.

Tii. re is now engaged or en route to America over $l_!.u<. 0,000 gold, and. as this will Rnd its way into New York banks, excepting, of course, the $503, --000 ordered for Chicago, the outlook must be regarded as reassuring. It will be seen that this center can stand a heavy drain without weaken- | ing the position of the local banks, j although why there should be a con tinued movement of funds to the in terior wltta bank reserves at nearly every principal center heavier than usual is a matter that cannot be ex plain. .1 i asily. Tin- local money rates during the week have reflected an easier feeling, falling off somewhat at the close. Many of the large banks seem to be out of the market on commercial pa per, but out of town institutions which are not affected by the with drawal of money have boen doing con siderable business at this point. It Is, of course, impossible, in view of foreign complications, to predict how mon< y will turn within the two weeks, "nut it will require a very severe crisis mdi . .1 to bring the market to an acute stage. A continuance of gold imports would operate against its existence for more than a brief period of time. Specie Movement. NEW YORK. March 12.— The imports at the port or New york during the week were: Gold, $3,586,479; s Iver. $3r.,108. The exports of specie were: Gold, $100,250: silver, $576,015. SIMPLICITY ITSELF. A SIMPLE, HARMLESS REMEDY, Yet It Cures the Worst Cases of Dys pepsia and Indigestion. Dr. .li unison, who has made a life study of stomach troubles, says: Ail form<_ of indigestion really amount to the same thing, that is, failure to coni pletely digest the food eaten; no mat ter whether the trouble is acid dyspep sia or sour stomach, belching of wind, nervous dyspepsia or loss of flesh and appetite; a person will not have any Of them if the stomach can be induced by any natural, harmless way to thor oughly digest what is eaten, and this can be done by a simple remedy which 1 have tt-stod in hundreds of aggravat ed cases with complete success. The remedy is a combination of fruit and vegetable essences, pure aseptic pepsin mid golden seal nut up in the form of j pleasant tasting tablets and sold by I druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two of these tablets should be taken after meals and allowed to dissolve In the mouth and mingling with the food in the stomach. dlgi sts it completely before it has time to ferment, decay and sour. On actual experiment one grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thousand grains of meat, eggs and similar wholesome foods. lt is sale to say if this wholesome rem. dy was better known by people generally, it would be a national bless ing, as we are a nation of dyspeptics and nine-tenths of all diseases owe I their origin to imperfect digestion and nutrition. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a | secret patent medicine, but a fifty-cent I package will do more real good for a I weak stomach than flfty dollars worth ' of patent medicines, and a person has the satisfaction of knowing just what he is putting into his stomach, which tae does not know, when widely aa vertised patent medicines are used.

SIXTH WARD IS A UNIT NO FACTIONS AMONG THE DEMO CRATS THERE Cmli Indorses tlie Demoerii t-Clt l_.eii_.' Movement Are Tired of Reform Snell iim Major Doran Has Given, aad Propose to Work Together for Victory This Sprtnff. The Sixth Ward Democratic club in dorsed the Democratic citizens' com mittee last night. The sentiment of the meeting was in favor of good clean government, and, when the motion was put to indorse the citizens' movement, the pent-up enthusiasm of the large num ber of voters present burst out unre strained. The Democrats of the ward fairly launched the campaign last night when, they made provision for a primary committee to look after every precinct in the ward, and decided to hold week ly meetings from this time on. The Eighth ward Democrats are for harmony, and will go to the conven tion with the avowed intention of hav ing a hand in the nomination of a man who will carry the day this spring. Judge Joseph Smith, the chairman of the club, urged all the voters in the ward to forget any personal grudges they might have against any members of the party, and work for the success of the. ticket. While he had nothing to say against Mayor Doran's personal character, he did think th Q administration had about exhausted the calendar of political blunders, at the expense of the people. It was not the Republicans who had caused their defeat at the last may oralty election, but they themselves. If they were united this spring, tbey could carry the election proudly. The citizens of St. Paul had elected two reform tickets, both of them Republi can movements, and they had in each case been a dismal failure, a farce. In closing. Judge Smith urged the necessity of forgetting the little short comings which any of the candidates might have, for, as he said, nothing brought out the little incongruities of a man like a canvass for office. A. L. Graves hoped that every voter i in the ward would cany out the sug gestions of Judge Smith, and not fail to come to the primaries. H. Cameron said he had lived In the ward six years, and the two reform administrations were too much for h'm. "Why not let these pass and give clean | city go\ernmcnt a chance?" sail he, in closing. R. J. Faue;tt said he hed nothing to | say in derision of the administration, but he hoped every one would study up and see for himself what had caused the present loose city government. Mr. Faucett voted for Bryan last fall, and, although he was on the lefsing side, said he was proud of it. He would always stand for the principles | of the Chicago platform. William Kelly asserted that lt was within the reach of the party to elect j a ticket this spring, if they would only vote as one man. Two years ago the Republicans had elected their ticket, which at the time savored very much of reform, but since then the reform had disappeared, leaving only the savor. William McAndrews said he hoped the meeting would not delay in ap pointment of precinct men to look after each district in the ward, thus enabling them to conduct their canvass syste matically. The Republicans had al ready precinct men ln the field, and Mayor Doran's men were endeavoring to win a few votes for him down by the brewery. Anthony Yoerg moved that the ap pointment of precinct men be left with the executive committee to be reported upon at the next meeting. The motion was carried. Future meetings of the club will be held Tuesday nights, in Paul Martin's hall. HAVE NAMED A TICKET. Voting Democrat* Su^uest Candi dates for City Ofllees. The executive committee of the Young Democracy met last evening at the old head quarters, 119 East Third street, and after de ciding to hold future meetings at the Metro politan hotel, discussed the various means best to be adopted to secure absolute harmony in the party. Candidates were mentioned for all the of fices, but no indorsement made for any, as the foremost object of the organization is a united party. No Indorsement will be made, but the following ticket was agreed unani mously to be a good one, and looked fair to all. as it ls claimed that the head of the ticket is by all rights due the Young Democ racy, but it is willing to conceed everything for party success, and the following ticket is only a suggestion and comment is invited by Democratic voters who may communicate with Secretary F. B. Messing, Third and Robert streets. For Mavor— E. G. Hinebaugh, Fourth ward. For Controller— Anthony Yoerg, Sixth wa d. For Treasurer— Richard S. McNamee, Ninth ward. For Judges— W. YV. Erwin, Third ward, and John Twohy Jr. For Assembly— Ed J. Schurmier, Patrick D. Scannell, Joseph Ehrmanntraut Jr., and Dan Bell, district east of Wabasha street; Robert N. Hare, for West side; Louis Nash, J. J. Parker, A. B. Ovitt. and Cul. W. W. Price, for district west of Wabasha street. Aldermen. First Ward — Jerry Sweeney. Second Ward— P. C. Helm. Third Ward— Henry W. McDonald. Fourth Ward— F. E. Messing. Fifth Ward— Charles Macdonald. Sixth Ward— Frank W. Baer. Seventh Ward— Daniel Hicky. Eighth Ward— Matt Bantz. Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh wards — Any good Democrats. The following resolution was passed to cor rect a false impression which seems to have gained some ground, that because the Young Democracy was opposed io third nominations, on general principals, they would not give loyal support to a candidate, who had received a third nomination. Resolved — That the Young Men's Central Democratic club will, without question. -give its heartiest support to all candidates agreed upon by a unittd DemDcracy, regardless of the number of terms they have heretofore served, as a united nomination ls equal to a demand for support from all loyal Demo ccrats. The petition is now in circulation for the nomination of E. G. Hinebaugh for mayor on the Non-Factional Democratic ticket, to be filed only in case a united party cannot be secured. When seen by a Glo b c reporter at the headquarters yesterday, Mr. Hinebaugh said: "There is nothing new; the petition is go ing the rcunds among the names on cur boons, with a notary public, and when finished with the required number of names, according to law, it will be filed later in the campaign. "Thee Globe, which publishes the news, gave me the space, and I said all I had to say in Thursday's issue, and only hope peace and a united party will result, as all factions have their friends. This must be admitted by all reasonable thinkers. "I am willing and anxious to get out and hustle until the close of the polls for a united party ticket, with no conditions attached to it for my work, and do not desire a place on the ticket, either. "I want party success, and am willing to do my share to get it. If I should ever be elect ed to any office, I should have but one great object in view. That my acts and deeds in behalf of my constituents would be worthy of the absolute confidence of all the people, re gardless of party, while a public servant. "My policy would always be for honesty ln politics and public offlce, economy in govern ment and absolute fairness and justice to all men alike. Never forgetting to be loyal to my friends." HE ISSCES A CARD. Col. Kiefer Announces His Cnndi daey for the Otlice of Mayor. Col. A. R. Kiefer issued the following yes terday: St. Paul. Minn., March 13, IS9B, To the Citizens of St. Faul:. ~ - Being urgently requested by large dele gations and many of our citizens, as they meet me daily on the streets, I have de cided to hereby publicly announce my can didacy for the coming mayoralty nomina tion. This step I have taken ln deference to many friends who Insist that a delegation present my name to the Republican con vention for nomination, believing, as they claim, my election comparatively easy. At flrat, when many of my friends ap- THE ST. PAUL GLOBE SUNDAY MARCH 13, 1898. proached me. I did not wish to seriously consider the matter, preferring not to enter politics this spring, but, after many and oft repeated requests, I consented to he pres ent at a public meeting; seeing the enthu siasm In my behalf and hearing thn warm expressions of kind words, I consented to accept, if tendered the nomination for mayor, and so stated to the meeting. 1 have resided in St. Paul more than forty years, and a tax payer for all that time. The people have honored nic often. I was chosen a member to our legislature; clerk of our district court, and a member of congress twice, for which honors I feel (Inly grateful. I can say with pardonable Pride that in each case mv friends overcame large majorities ln tho opponent's ranks Of my record In all these public positions, 1 beg to be permitted to harbor a certain feeling of satisfaction. All my savings In all these years 1 have in this city— all in St. Paul real esiate. It Will be my aim to so till the oflice of mayor that it will, in a measure at least, assist in the upbuilding of the city I love so much. I have not and will not make any pledges or promises to anyone whatever. If elected I will go Into the mayor's chair free and untrammelled, and shall serve my full term for which elected to the best of my ability and the best interests of our city; and I sincerely hope that at the ex piration of my term I will still retain the love, confidence and esteem of all our peo ple, as I havo thu right to believe I pos sess lt now. Again allow me to say I am a candidate for the nomination for mayor, and most respectfully ask the support of my fellow men at the primary meetings flrst, and on election day next. ERWIJI BY PETITION. Nominated an a Candidate for Mayor ou the Democratic Ticket. A petition bearing the names of over 600 persons was filed with the city clerk yesterday nominating W. W. Erwln for mayor. The work of securing these names was said to have been done Fri day, after it was deemed the wisest course to pursue by those in favor ot the "tall pine." The action caused comment, but not consternation. "I think Mr. Erwln will retire in my favor," said E. G. Hinebaugh, when he heard of the petition. "If he doesn't and there is another Democrat in the field, then there will be two more." The move of nominating Mr. Erwln is understood to be with a view of forcing, without seeming to do so. the labor people to come to his support. The friends of Mr. Erwin have tried at two executive meetings of the Work ingmen's league to secure an indorse ment for him, but have failed. As it stands now the impression is that only Richard S. McNamee can secure the combined support of organized labor. Mr. Nash cannot get it, neither, it seems, can Mr. Erwin. Speaking of his nomination, Mr. Er win said yesterday: "My friends are of the people of the city. We are opposed by the old leaders of the cliques and parties. We welcome this as the people can tell a man by the company he l.efrs. "I congratulate the people that a new friend has appealed whose deep fidelity and cool management Is a full match for all the men who dare openly betray principles and hopes of mankind for personal office. "That man is Richard W. Bell. I will stand by the verdict and choice of the regu lar Democratic convention. The common people are determined to have their voice heard tn that convention. They will not desert the reform principles which are now agitating the entire world. They will re found in this city a government of and by and for the perple." R. W. Bell said: "The people are with the Democratic party straight, without any side issues or any evasion of the platform of the Demo cratic party. The Democrat-C'tizens' tick et can have the support of the gold Demo crats. This action was simply to protect the Democratic party of St. Paul from be ing corrupted by the very men who spent $40,000 in the last national campaign in op position to and for ihe purpose of disrupt ing the Democratic party." NINTH WARD REPUBLICANS. Tliey Severely Criticise tlie Conduct of Mr. FVldltauHer. The Ninth Ward Xorth End Republican club held its regu'.ar meeting last night. The action of the Ninth Ward Republican Central league was taken up, and one would have thought a bomb had exploded. Every one wanted the floor at once. Mr. llandlan was recognized. He upheld the action of the league, and very severely criticised Mr. Feldhauser's efforts to line up the Democrats of the Ninth ward in his be half, and it was necessary for the president to call him to order. Mr. Goode took the floor and roundly de nounced Mr. Feldhauser as a second Mayor Doran, as catering to Democrats, and said unless Mr. Feldhauser cut loose from certain people he would not have a Ninth ward dele gate ln the convention. President Ahem called Mr. Lester to take the chair. Mr. Ahem said he was disappointed In Mr. Feldhauser, in the course he had taken s* far, inasmuch as the Ninth Ward North End Republican club was the first to boom his candidacy, but wanted the members to be lenient with him in regard to the action taken against him at the league meeting, claiming he would be tenfold better than Col. Klefer. WILL NAME THEM TUESDAY. People's Party Committee Will Com plete Its List of .Indues. The city committee of the People's party held an executive session ln the committee loom of Assembly hall last night, at which John F. Krieger presided, and Secretary M. J. Costello looked after the secretary's work. The session did not adjourn until a late hour, and then without completing the work they had been called together for, which was the naming of a list of judges and clerks for the coming election. The list was completed all but those from the First, Seventh, Ninth and Eleventh wards, which must be completed by Mon day, as the committee last night decided that all lists or names of judges and clerks must be in the hands of Secretary Costello by Tuesday morning at the latest. Some dis cussion was indulged in in reference to ap pointing a committee to confer with the vari ous reform factions with a view to harmoniz ing and uniting all of them in one body, bu: it was finally concluded that this would not be wise at tbe present time, so further ac tion on the subject was deferred, and the meeting adjourned to meet again next Satur day night. FINAL, ACTION DEFERRED. Democratic Citizen.!.' Committee Will Choose .Indies Next Satnrday. The Democratic Citizens' committee held Its regular weekly meeting at the hall of the Central Democratic association in the A. O. U. W. temple last night. The members of the executive committee of the central association were present by invita tion. Attorney Henry McLaughlin presided. The meeting was called for the purpose of allowing the different ward committeemen to submit their lists of judges and clerks of election, but owing to the fact that some of the committee were not ready io report final action was deferred until next Saturday night, when another meeting will be held "at the same place. Short addresses were made during the evening by J. B. Covington, Robert Hare and ex-Aid. Ed. L. Murphy.

Rnntoul, of the Aberdeen, llih'mi'l Like Thnt Reported a Indictment. The action of the grand jury in In dicting R.<R. Rantoul, proprietor of the Aberdeen, for selling liquor without a license, has not raised the grand jury in the estimation of Mr. Rantoul. He says some;one '.s persecuting him and he Intends |'to ascertain whether he has no rights. He has placed the matter in the hands of lawyers and has in structed them to fight the case to the end. "Some temperance crank has done this," said Mr. Rantoul, last evening, tc a reporter for The Globe. "This hotel is in the prohibition dis trict, I know, but no one can run a hotel in this city without a bar. I pay a government tax and conform to law as much as I can. I do not keep a common barroom. I only serve my guests and no one ever found fault with me until now. To make matters worse, I am as sociated with a dive keeper and the public gets an Impression that I run a 'blind pig.' It is wrong to make such trouble for me. I don't deserve It. "If I must close my liquor depart ment I may as well go out of the hotel business." TRUST ESTATE IS LIABLE. Judge Bunn Files Ills Decision in the Case of Cecilia Paget vs. Louise I-i. Baker. Judge Bunn filed an order yesterday j In the case of Cecilia Paget against j Louise K. Baker and the St. Paul Trust company as trustee, under the will of Norman Kittson, which decides an in teresting point pf law. In overruling the demurrer of the St. Paul Trust company to an action brought by the plaintiff to recover some $8,00& deficiency on a foreclosure sale, the cpurt .decided that the plain tiff has a legal' right to come at the trust estate of Louise K. Baker, to satisfy a judgment for such deficiency. By the will of Norman W. Kittson the s«m c_f $400,000 was bequeathed to the St. Paul Trust company, in trust for his daughters, ln United States government 4 per cent bonds. The trust estate of each daughter was $100, --000, and orie-fontth of the amount was held in trust fbr his daughter, Louise K. Baker, The trust company contended In Its demurrer that the plaintiff could not reach t___s*T_*fisf:7und\ The eoiift disagreed with the trust company. ' In overruling the demurrer, Judge Bunn says in his memorandum: The question is: Can the plaintiff, under the allegations of the complaint, reach in equity and have applied to the payment of her judgments, the whole or any part of the income received for and directed by the will to be paid to the defendant, Louise K. Baker. There is no doubt that the equitable estate of the beneficiary of a trust of either real or personal property is alienable by such beneflciarv and can therefore be reached by her creditors unless some re straint on its alienation, either voluntary or Involuntary is imposed by the creator of the trust or by law. Judge Bunn concludes, after citing several authorities, that no restraint was imposed by the will against aliena tion by the beneficiary, and that the statutes of the state do not impose any such restraint. THEY COMMEND HIS COURSE. Acker Post No. 21, G. A. R., Adopts Resolutions of Approval of Pres ident McKinley's Conduct. The members of Acker Post No. 21, G. A. R., are satisfied with the conduct of President McKinley in relation to the pending controversy with Spain. At an open meeting held last night, conducted by the Ladles of the G. A. R., resolutions were unanimously adopted commending the course pur sued by the president, a copy of which will be spread upon the records of the post and one forwarded to President McKinley. The resolution was presented by Comrade J. J. McCardy and read as follows: Resolved, by Acker Post No. 21, Depart ment of Minnesota, Grand Army of the Re public, at Its regular meeting held in St. Paul, March 12, 1898, That it desires to ex press its unqualified approval of the source pursued by Comrade William McKinley, our president, in dealing with the international questions now pressing upon the attention of our people. That lt hails with joy the prompt action of the congress of the United States in Its unanimous support of the president in voting the necessary funds with which he may maintain his position and protect the flag. Further, That lt views with especial pleasure and gratification, the elevation of Cushman K. Davis, a member of the post, to the high and responsible position in the United States senate, as chairman of the committee on foreign relations, and most heartily approves his course in the senate as being that of a wise and patriotic states man, ever watchful over the interest of his country. Among those who participated in the evening's programme were Mrs. Bord well, of Stillwater; Miss Webber, Com mander W. H. Burns, Comrade F. B. Doran and Miss Cole. ASKS FOR ITS PASSAGE. Iron Moulder*" Union Refer Con gressmen to a Bill. The Iron Moulders' Union No. 232 held a large and interesting meeting in hall No. 3 at Assembly hall last night. Two new applications were received and three new candidates initiated, making a total of 59 members now in good standing. A warrant was ordered drawn for the last quarterly dues to the State Federation of La bor, and sent to Secretary-Treasurer W. E. McEwen, at Duluth. The union adopted a letter and resolutions, copies of which the secretary was Instructed to forward to each of the Minnesota delegation at Washington, and also to the Hon. Thos. B. Reed. The letter and resolutions are as follows: You no doubt are aware of the inroads con vict labor has made in the past few years on free labor.
