A Treasury Statement.
New , Yobk, Nov. 11. Secretary of
the Treasury: Fostpr, in response to an
invitation , addressed . " a ! letter to the
American ' Bankers' , association at New
Orleans on the operation of the financial
legislation of the last congress. The
secretary says the amount of silver bull
ion purchased with treasury notes ren
der the provisions of the new law from
August 13th, 1890 to November 1st, 1891,
has aggregated 66,598,540 fine ounces, at
a costs, of $1 .03 Per fine ounce. From
this silver $27,848,475 have been coined
and the remainder is stored in the shape
of fine bars in the vaults of the mints as
a reserve against treasurers notes out
standing. Under the operations of this
law silver advanced from 9b cents per
fine ounce to $1.21. That it has again
retrogated in price is owing in part to
the fact that was exercised by the treas
urv in the purchase of eil yer both as to
quantity and the large amount of foreign
silver attracted to this market. It is
claimed by those conversant With the
product and movement of silver that
when the' visible stock upon our market
ia disposed of, the monthly absorbtion
of 4,500,000 ounces of silver by this gov
ernment will have a tendency to effectu
ally and permanently steady" the price
of that metal. It seems to me the act
under consideration Is a decided im
provement upon, the provisions of the
act of 1878, which it repeals,' in that it
furnished sound currency to meet the
growing wants of our country, and has a
tendency .: to.' reduce' the ; difference .in
value between the two metals and thus
help restore equilibrium so much .de
sired. A Stable Fall of Stack H timed. .
St. Helens, Ore., . Nov. . 11. The
large barn of Con nell .Brothers, situated
on Deer Island was totally consumed by
fire this, morning. The barn . contained
one hundred and twenty-five tons of hay,

two- horses and one cow were saved.
The fire is thought to be incendiary.
The tofal loss is estimated at $7,500.
Insurance $2000.
Most of , the horses burned were valu
able roadsters sent here from Portland
to , be wintered.- ; Connell thinks
the fire was .set by parties whon he had
ordered off his hunting grounds. Later
estimate places the loss at' $10,000.

Another Sem Storm for England.
London, Nov. 11. Last night a heavy

Another vessel is reported ashore close

Colville, Nov. 10. Last Saturday
evenjng, Henry Marn, a halfbreed, who
lfves one mile south of Colville, returned
home in an intoxicated condition and
commenced abusing his wife ahd rela
tives.'some of whom were visiting her.
Then he dealt his mother-in-law a se
vere hlow, which felled her to the
floor. One of the women present up
braided him for 'his brutal conduct,
when he stepped into an adjoining room
and returning with-a loaded rifie.'began
shooting indiscriminately at the inmates
of the house, and succeeded in wound
ing his sister-in-law, Mrs. Vina Fair
ham, in the hand, and also shot one of
his own children, a baby ' one and a half
years old, through the ankle, . He was
disarmed, and fled but returned to the
house later in the evening. The officers
were notified, and next morning Sheriff
Hayden went to the house and de
manded his surrender. . He had fixed a '
trapgun for the officer, who would have
been shot if he attempted to open the
door. Marn finally came out and eave
himself up, and was brought to Colville
and lodged in jail. Physicians reached
the baby in time to prevent it from
bleeding to death, but the child will
probably lose her foot, ,Mre. "Fairham's
wound is slight.
THE MAVERICK BANK
A Statement of its Affairs Issued by
lte-
celrer Keale.
Boston, Nov. 10. Receiver Beale
today issued a lengthy statement of the
affairs of the Maverick National bank at
the close of business October 31, as
shown by its 'books. As compared with
September 25, the loans, bond accounts,
cash with the reserve agents', loans to
banks, and specie, had been greatly re- .
duced. The deposits at the dale of the
suspension, including certificates of de
posit and the deposits of banks, ag--gregated
$8,200,000, as against $9,910,000 -fi
ve weeks before, a loss of $1,650,000, of
which $734,000 was a falling off in in
dividual deposits and $500,000 on bank
deposits. Thus far everything is found ,
to be systematically conducted, and all
accounts balanced on the books. The
only difference thus far announced is in
adequate collateral behind the loans to
the directors. There was no blanket
endorsement on.flle, as has been stated
Today's statement is gralifving, in that -it
shows less than $3,000,000of individual
deposits, outside of the deposits of banks
and bankers at the time of the failure.
