Lack of Confidence Greater Than at
Amy Time Since the Panic ot18D3
Leagoja Money Markets.

BERLIN, Jun 30. The German Bourses
were wholly dominated last week by the
failure ot thejLfelpzIger Bank, the Influ
ence of r whlcn was stronger than any
other incident for years. The Frankfurter
Zeltung says the lack of confidence is
now greater, perhaps, than at any other
time since Ihe panic of 1693, toeing rein
forced by the continually unfavorable
report regarding: general business. All
the weekly reviews point out that the
feeling among capitalists is very pessimis
tic .While a more confident tone began
to develop towards the end of the week,
apprehension is still felt lest the evil ef
fects will be Jongtdrawn out
Heretofore Berlin has suffered compa
ratively little from the Lelpslc Incident,
the great banks Having long steered
clear of the Lelpziger Bank, owing to the
latter's relations with the Cassel Throk
nung Company, whose business methods
for several years have been the subject of
sharp 'controversy. The. -Lelpalc failure
"has., caused only two insignificant sus
pensions here." "While? all Berlin bank
stocks fell sharply and sympathetically,
the utmoft confidence Is expressed that
the banks are all perfectly sound. The
fact is emphasized that the Lelpziger
Bank-was ruined by heavy advances to
one Industrial company, which is contrary
totne general policy of German banks.
Therefore, the failure is nbt regarded as
symptomatic of bad conditions.
Th6 spot where confidence Is more weak
ened Js "provincial bank shares, which
-nave been offered In enormous quantities
since the Lelpslc failure. All Industrials
;ere al$o heavily ,sold, particularly in
Saxony, where the feeling seems to pre
vail that nothing is now safe but gov
ernment funds.
The effect of the failure on the money
market has been no diminution of the
money supply: but lenders have grown
extremely cautious, demanding the -most
complete proofs of solvency from all bor
rowers. Hence, the monthly settlement
-Is likely to prove the most dllilcult known
for many months, although engagements
were very light The private rate'.of dis
count advanced only onc-ughth to 34
per cent, in consequence of the Lelpslc
( incident, at which figure it remained
throughout the week. Nr tuneless, vthf
banks are trying to accumulate mortgage
cash balances.
All the papers admit that the prompt
establishment of a branch of the Deutsche
Bank at Lelpslc went far toward reliev
ing the situation there.
The dividend estimates of the Industrial
companies for the 12 months en-ling to
day show immense reductions, many com
panies -which in the Corresponding period,
of 1S93-190Q declared dividends ranging all
the way Irom half the former dividends
down to nothing.
THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Effect pn the Market of Failures
Abroad.
LONDON, June 30. The promised Im
provement in the London Stock Exchange,
for whose delay financial writers have
found one excuse or another for more
than a month past, has this week a most
tangible reason for its non-ippearance
namely, the bank failures In Germany
and the United States. These have been
amply sufficient to shake confidence out
of a heslte'tlng market, and business all
around has been extremely slack. The
American section has been least affected
by the prevailing dullness, and It Is the
only section showing a week-end rally.
Nothing seems able to shake the convlc.
' tion here that the Unite 1 States is due
for a long period of proiper'tv, although
even while buying these attractive Arvr
'ican securities the critics arc unable to
disguise their covert resentment at .he
seemingly universal run of luck In the
United States.
While home rails have been down from
one to. two and a half for the past week,
,hnd nore disquieting rumors of reduced
dividends are afloat, conservative writer?
"point out that the tteprCMaon, after all,
may be somewhat overdone, and are of
the opinion that thi worst possible has
already been fully discounted and that
there Is how a fair chance for good In
vestment buying. Iadtistrials generally
appeared to be In 'md shape. The re
peated fiascos of stock companies have
decreased dividends, and the conviction
', of -widespread overcapitalization has tak
,en all -the snap out of the market. Ap
. prehension does not dlmlnlsh and it is
" featedworse will follow ,
wJuring the past week funds were all
dowjaffrpm 14 tol point. There was a
Slight squeeze in -money this week, co
Incident with the bank failures In Ger
many and the United Sates. The Bank
of England kindly accentuate! this tight
ness by raising the tate on money to 4
'-per cent The trouble In the money mar
ket is rather due to the fact that mil
lions of pounds still remain unpaid on
' the recently sold consols than to the
American and German troubles. It is
tiot thought these later failures will se
riously worry London. Nevertheless,
there is no likelihood of the near re
turn; of jeerffmflhoap money. The prospect
'of- heavy crop moving and the demands
of the United States tend to induce Lon
'don to keep Its financial resources well in
hand.
DISORDERS AT LYONS.
Clash Betrrecn Nationalists and So
cialists. LYONfi,. June 30. M. Godfrey Cavaig
sac, ex-Mlnlster of -War, presided this af
ternoon at a meeting of the League of
Patriots in Lyons. TkL Sebastian Faure,
the anarchist, organized an opposition
meeting of revolutionary Socialists, at
which he violently denounced nationalism.
Subsequently the Socialists marched in
procession through the streets shouting
"Down with Cavalgnac," "Down with the
priests." They became riotous, and sev
eral were arrested. .In the meantime the
sucoorters of M. Cavalgnac escorted him
to his hotel, where the hostile bodies met
and fought, the police ana mountea
guards finding considerable difficulty In
dispersing them. Even after they were
scattered various groups paraded the
quarter and indulged In riotous scuf
- flee. Many persons were injured.
AS A CHURCH ATTRACTION.
Mrs. Brown Potter Drew a Great
Crowd at Yarmouth.
LONDON, June &. At the invitation of
the vicar, the Rev. Forbes Philips, Mrs.
Brown Potter, gowned In white and wear
ing a picture hat, recited from the chancel
of the Gerleston Church, near Yarmouth,
after evensong today, Pope's "Vital
Spark of Heavenly Flame" and another
poem. "The Queen's Last Ride," deliv
ering both to organ and choral accompa
niment, the congregation listening rev
erently. The vicar's idea was to enhance
-'the attractions of the service, and for an
hour before It began a crbwd besieged
the doors, as if the occasion was a the
atrical -first night. Hundreds were un
able to get in. It is rumored that the
bishop will forbid a repetition of the In
cident. Mr. Philips, wh6 writes plays un

, Russian Finance Minister's Opinion
of Secretary Gage's Order.
jT ST, PETERSBURG, June 30. Contlrm-
. lng statements already telegraphed to the
Associated Press, the Journal of Coxn-
merce and Industry, reporting the Min
istry of Finance, explains Russians atti
tude toward the American duty 'against
British parafflne made from TtUsslan
naphtha. The article says that Secretary
Gage's measure was manifestly designed
as a reprisal, adding that this supposi
tion is strengthened by the fact that ar
ticle 626 had never previously been so
construed. It asserts also that Mr. Gage
dl not mention Roumanian naphtha, which
is likewise Imported Into Great Britain.
The contention, therefore, is that Russia's
answer In raising the duties on bicycles
and resin is justifiable.
American Capital In Canada.
LONDON, July L-J. Henri BOuraesI,

Canada.
"American capital," he said, "Is break
ing down the barrier between Canada
and the United States, The Americans

annexation movement, now dead, will re
vive." Weather In Enrope.

Don't Amend Bankruptcy Law.
St. Paul Pioneer Press.
As it was largely through the efforts
of Minnesota's senior Senator that the
National bankruptcy law was passed in
Its present form making It what the
Constitution Intended it should be, an in
strument mainly for the relief of honest
but unfortunate debtors, not a club to be
used In the collection of debts readers
hereabouts will learn with pleasure that
a report Just made to the department of
justice Upholds the law as giving general
satisfaction. The "creditor class" finds
itself vastly better protected than before
against unfair preferences and assign
ments, and buyers of repute find It easier
to obtain credits, while the beneficial op
erations 6f the law have enabled multi
tudes of those fof whose relief it was
mainly intended to "get on their -feet
again" and td participate In the buiiatrig
up of their respective communities. The
report alluded to covers the period of six
months ending with March 3ist last. With
in that time 9.516 petitions were filed,
with a total of $84,955,097 In liabilities,
and $3,587,447 in assets for distribution.
Of course most of these cases are of
firms and individuals whose troubles date
back to a period long anterior to the pas
sage of the law. There are, as was to
be expected, some influential mercantile
houses maialy such as were exceptional
ly adroit In securing special security or
preferences for their claims Under the
varied conditions prevailing before the
passage of the bankrupt law which are
anxious for its repeal, and "Will make an
effort in that direction When Congress
again assembles. But the facts gathered
by the department of justice make their
success altogether improbable. As to
amendments, there is so little agreement
among those who ask for them as to the
sections to be amended that Congress will
probably leave the law practically un
changed. BUSINESS ITEMS.

Liquor Dlasensarlea and Agents
Can Be Taxed.
WASHINGTON, June 30 The gtftte of
South Carolina, acting through the Gov
emor and Attorney-General, has insti
tuted proceedings before the Commission
er of Internal Revenue to test the ques
tion whether the state can be legally re
quired to take out Bperial tax stamps as
a wholesale and retail liqudr dealer under
the state dispensary laws, and has made
a demand upon the Commissioner for a
refund of all such taxes hitherto paid,
amounting to ?4916.

The final returns on the wheat output of Oregon, "Washington and North
ern Idaho, show the crop tV have amounted to nearly 37,000,000 bushels,
which is a very good showing, considering the shortage In the Willamette
Valley, which Is usually depended on for 3,000,000 or 4,000,000 bushels. Had
the Valley turned out an average crop, the yield in the Northwest would
have been in excess of 40,000,000 bushels. As It is, the crop has been beatpn
but onCe, and the shipments are the largest that have ever been made
from the NorChwest in a single seaso'n. This has cut down the carry-over
to quite small proportions, nearly one-third of the entire surplus In the
three states being on spot in thi3 city. The year's returns, Including those
for San Francisco, show Portland still at the head of the Coast ports, al
though conditions in the territory trlbutaryto this port were less favor

The one question Involved Is whether the
Internal revenue laws of the United States
apply to the dispensary system of South
Carolina, so as to entitle the Collector to
ueniunu ine jjuyiueui ui mrac ma, a..c
entire dispensary system of South Caro
lina Is managed by a board of commls
sioncrs, consisting of three persons se2
lected by the State Legislature, with Co
lumbia as Its headquarters. This state
dispensary distributes supplies to the
country dispensaries, and these in turn
are managed by county dispensaries or
agents, all being under the board of state
commissioners. Under the law, no llqUor
can be sold at night, nor drank on the
premises of the dispensary. The liquors
are sold as the property of the state, and
the profits accrue to the state. The sal
aries of all the officers of the dispensaries
are fixed by law and do not depend upon
the amount of their MileB.
In the brief filed wltn the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue on behalf of the
state It Is contended that there Is noth
ing In the laws of the United States au
thorizing the collection of internal reve
nue taxes, which even impliedly authorise
the Imposition of a tax against a state
or its Instrumentalities of government,
and that such an act containing any
provision taxing the instrumentalities, of
the state government wouia De to inai
extent unconstitutional. It is contended
further that the property of a state and
the means and instrumentalities employed
by it to carry its laws 'hto operation can
not be taxed by the Federal Govern
ment, and an opinion Of the late Judge
COoley 6n this question Is quoted. If the
Internal revenue laws cf the United States
require the agents of the state and coun
ty dispensaries of Sduth Carolina to pay
a tax to the Unltcu dtates before being
permitted to accept the duties of their
office, it is contended that the" law Is un
constitutional and void irt this particu
lar because the tax it imposes is purely
and slmrtty a tax upon the Instrumentali
ties by which the stale, through its laws,
seeks to minimize the evils of the liquor
traffic within Us bofders. The Federal
Government, it Is held, cannot constltu
tionally Interfere with the administration
of these laws by requiring a special tax
stamp to be paia by ltd officials as a
condition precedent to the exercise of their
duties. , .
Commissioner Yerkes has the claim for
refunding of taxes by the State of South
Carolina under consideration, but has re
turned no opinion yet. While It is true
that the dispensary system may be desig
nated a state agency and Its maintenance
...k.u o., nn-netifiitinnnl under the bollce,
power resident in all sovereignties, yet the
Commissioner is Inclined to the opinion
thkt it is not such a necessary state
agfenc on such, a needful function of the
state government as will exempt it from
taxation.

No Relief for New Yorkers.
NEW YORK, Jun 30. The relief from
the killing heat of the last week, which
was promised today, did not materialize.
Indeed, the temperature increased, there
was less bree2e than the day before, and

WANTED, AN IDEAL WIFE.
Vagrnrles of the Author of "Snnford
and Merton."
In Cornhlll "Urbanus Sylvan" writes en
tertainingly of the literary associations
of Lichfield. Dr. Johnson and Erasmus
Darwin are naturally the staple of the
essay, but Thomas Day, the author of
"Sanford and Merton," appears In a very
amusing light. Being whole-hearted In
his adoption of Rousseau's system, he
endeavored to return to nature and pro
vide himself with an Ideal mother of her
children.
His matrimonial experiences are de
scribed by Miss Seward in tho "Life of
Darwin" with Immense gusto, and, as the
book is not now In every library, an ex
tract may be appreciated; but the reader
must onto again remember that the bio
grapher was a poet. Day obtained leave
to choose a falr-halred girl from an or
phanage at Shrewsbury, and a brunette
from the Foundling Hospital In London,
In order to educate them In his principles,
with a view to marrying whichever proved
the mord satisfactory, and in the event
of his marrying neither, he promised to
provide a portion for tho one who had
been educated, and an apprenticeship for
the other. While he was traveling with
them and making up his mind upon their
merits, the yoUng ladles spent their time
in quarreling and having smallpox. In
the end, Lucretla, the brunette, was ap
prenticed, and Sabrll came to Litchfield
to be trained. This was the process as
Miss Seward describes it:
"It has been sold before that the fame
of Dr. Darw'in'S talents allured Mr. D.
to Lichfield. Thither he led. in the Spring
of the" yedf 1770, the beauteous Sabrll,
then 13 years old and, taking a 12
months' possession of the pleasant man
sion In Stowe Valley, resumed his prep
aration for implanting in her young mind
the characteristic virtues Qf Arrla, Por
tia add Cornelia. His experiments hud
not the success he wished arid expected.
Her fiplrlt could not be armed against
the dread of pain and the appearance of
danger. When he dropped .melted sealing,
wax upon her arms she did not endufe It
heroically, nor when He flred pistols at
her petticoats, which .she believed to be
charged with balls, could she "help start
ing aside or suppress her ecreams."
The roman6e of Day's courtship and
marriage should be read In Mips Seward's
pages. Finding It impossible to train Sll
brlna in Spartan habits, he offered his
hand in succession to the two sisters
SneJ-d, who (lh successlbn) subsequent
married his friend Edgew'orth. The form
er declined the offer, the latter tern
porlzed, and there was an undertaking
that the philosopher should go to Paris
for a year and commit himself to dancing
and fenolng masters. "He did so; stood
dally an hour or two In frames to screw
back his shoulders and point his feet; He
practiced the- irillltary gait the fashion
able bows, mlnUets, and cotillions, but It
was tbo late." When he relumed, the
lady ungratefully told him she preferred
him in the state of nature. Happily, he
soon found a wife who 'was thoroughly
devoted to him and they lived together
a life of nature and philanthropy until a
horse which he was endeavoring to
break In by kindness, threw him and
broke his skull.

SiouVeHlr Book of Croker Cartoons
New York Hjerald.
That Richard Croker possesses a keen
sense of humor will be a revelation to the
general public, and even to the mass of
Tammany Voters. Yet such Is the fact,
and Mr, Croker's first publishing under
taking, a book of cartoons, in each of
which he Is the central or conspicuous
figure, gives abundant evidence of this
trait in his nature.
Upon his return to New York In August
Mr. Croker is to give a dinner to 250 of
hi3 friends. To each guest will be pre
sented as a favor a handsomely bound
copy of the cartoon book. This edition de
luxe 'Will' be limited, but it is Mr. Croker's
intention to publish a sufficient number
of paper-bound copies to supply the de
mand of the Tammany workers.
"The collected cartoons date from 1692,"
said Dr. W. J. O'Sulllvan, who was let
into the secret by Mr. Croker during his
recent visit to Wantage. "It was about
that time, during the Cleveland cam
paign, that the cartoonists chose Mr. Cro
ker as a desirable target at which to Are
their shafts of wit. The collection is
representative of the work of leading car
toonists throughout the United States, and
will be the first Intimation that the leader
of Tammany Hall possesses the saving
grace of humor. The public and the press
have regarded him as a silent, serious
man, and this Impression has been Justi
fied by his public attitude."

' BILLIARD EXPERT DEAD.
William Harrison, of Green Cloth
Fame, Passes Away.
CHICAGO, June 30. William Harrison,
the well known billiard player died to
night, after a long illness from liver
trouble. Harrison came here about nine
years ago from Portland, Or.
Was Born In Oregon City.
William Harrison was born about 30
years ago at Oregon City, and he Is rec
ognized as one of the greatest billiard
and pool experts In this country. His
boyhood was a stormy one. In the '60s
his father was a traveling salesman and
musician, and in the course of hla bu
lness the elder Harrison had occasion to
visit Prinevllle, Crook County, when one
Louis Lansrdon shot and killed two
men who were cutting his timber. Public
opinion was very high at the time, and
the citizens were scouring the neighbor
hood for the murderer, as It was not
then known that Langdon had a hand in
th deed. The elder Harrison talked
about the tragedy, .and -was heard to
remark, more in the light of a jest, that
he knew about the shooting before It
took place, and the bystanders raised the
hue and cry. Instantly.
Explanations at the moment were use
less, and a vigilance committee was
hastily organized, and the, elder Harrison
was dragged about 300 yards with a rope
around his neck, to a tree and hanged.
He protested his innocence to the last.
Suspicion was afterward directed toward
Langdon, and in the search that
followed one of the pursuers named
Luckey, secured Langdon and took him
to a hotel In Prinevllle, and tied his
hands and placed a sack over his face.
Then the mob came and shot the helpless
man to death.
William Harrison shortly afterward re
moved to Portland, where he secured
employment as a messenger boy. His
bright face and sharpness of wit gained
him many friends, among whom were
George Chamberlain and Jesse Daniel
son. Chamberlain became a sort of pro
tector to the fatherless lad. and when
Harrison showed a marked turn for bil
liards, encouraged him In every posslbla
way. He called William his "boy" and
watched over him as If he were a son.
Young aHrrlson played billiards In the
palmy days when Grattan, Webber and
Fuhr ran their well-known resort at
First and Alder 6treetst and he also
worked for King & Webb, on Alder
street. His fame as a player
then became known among the
sporting fraternity over the Pacific Coast
and Ives, the billiard expert, heard of
him. A meeting was arranged, and so
well did Harrison handle his cues, that
nothing would satisfy Ives but that Har
rison would accompany his new patron
to Chicago and enter Ives establishment
there. This was about 1892, and HarrI
ut 1033, ana xiarri -
son's admirers gave him a rousing ban-
quet when he left for- Chicago. Since
then, his. sporting career has been
watched with Interest, and when most
i-ortiana sports visuea unicago tney in-
variably looked up "Billy" Harrison.
HJs foster father, Chamberlain, died sev
eral years ago In the Good Samaritan
Hospital, from the effects of an Injury
to one of his legs, caused by his having
fallen over a log. In a fishing expedition.
So far as his friends here know, Harri
son was unmarried. He is spoken of as
a genial, good-hearted man who made
friends wherever he went.
Inspired by the Power of God.
Spectator.
Many people who are not accounted
"spiritually minded" are, nevertheless, led
by the Spirit. A "spiritual mind" too
often means a keen Interest In religious
controversy. The captain of a sinking
ship who, some years ago, gave up the
last place in the last boat to a little-
stowaway, whose very existence he had
been unaware of tw'o minutes before,
showed "the same mind which wis In
Christ." whether he had been accustomed
to say unto Him, "Lord. Lord," or not.
And the stewardess on board the Stella,
who gave up her lifebelt to a lady passen
ger on whom It had been her duty to at
tend, obeyed an impulse which we can
only consider to have been divine, and
which controlled In an Instant the In
born Instinct of human nature, the In
stinct of self-preservation. Thehe peoplo
were not actuated by the "wisdom of
God." Probably both gave up their lives
for the sake of their moral inferiors
for the sake of two persons who would bo
less use In the world than they. But It
is by such unreasonable actions, by such
divine folly as these people committed
that a nation is made great, and the
equally unreasoning admiration which
they awake In the hearts of men Is a
greater testimony to the truth of Chris-

OFFICERS FOR ARMY.
Full Quota Under Reorganisation
Act May Not Be Choien by
End of Year.
WASHINGTON, June 25. There Is little
probability that the full quota of officers
to be appointed under the Army reorgan
ization act of the last session of Con
gress will have been chosen by January 1.
In fact. It Is stated at the War Depart
ment that the last appointments may not
be made before the end of February. 1902.
To fill the list, between 475 and 500 Lieu
tenants are to be commissioned, and this
estimate does not Include the appoint
ments that Will be made necessary to fill
vacancies caused by the failure of the
original appointees to qualify. It Is pos
sible that a few of these men will be
taken from the ranks, and from among
the non-commlssloned oOlcers of the Reg
ular Army, where these men have shown
a pirtlcular aptitude and ability, or have
displayed unusual gallantry on some oc
casion. But for the most part the of
ficers will be chosen from among those
who held commissions In the Volunteers
during the Spanish War.
