Kansas Ci i v, April lb. At the
commercial congress to-day Hon.
A.J. Warner, of Ohio, addressed
the congress on the "Relation of
iii'nev to bank credits." There
should b; a limit to bank credits,
sincfc the state banks no longer
had the power to issue money, but
they created money by the issu-
am e ol hank ereiiits. mco they
arrogated to themselves the func
tion of state they should cumo
under state supervision. At pres
ent bank credits in proportion to
actual monev in banks is from k."
to $7 to 1. It was ut of this un
substantial structure of credit-
money created of nothing that
every panic that was known had
had its beginning. It should he
restricted to ?3 of credit to $1 of
ac'ual money. Panics wojld then
be iuiiossibie. Take t! ousands of
millions from the upper story of
o.ir top heavy sys'eni of bank
ci edits, and b -oadeii the founda
tion of our money system by add
ing a thousand million, or even
tiee hundred million, of real
money, either gold, silver or
paper, and a panic would be im
possible. Which should it be, a
basis of gold, that is constantly
narrowing and its produuli'vi -iir
minishing, coupled with th o..
expanding system of bank credit,
or currency, subject to expansion
and collapee as the interests and
cupidity of the banks may dictate,
or le-s credit ami more actual
money in which conlidence was
never wanting'.'

pleted its woik this alb-moon, and

to express his opinion to-day re

tl at the correspondence published
in the press was too brief from
which to form an i pinion.
In the chamber of deputies to
day Premier di Kinlini declined to
make a statement regarding Secre
tary Maine's note until he had a
full text. If it were proved im
possible to obtain a favorable solu
tiou of the problem, grave compli

would deem it a malt r of pro

c'raiiiatie incident occurred at the
Mansfield presbytery here (his af
ternoon. The Hev. John (iailey,
pastor of a church at Millersburg,

it being charged that while on a
visit to New I.islKin, O., where he
was paying at'ention to a young
lady, he got beastly drunk, and
upon the streets disgraced himself
and the church. The presbytery
found him guilty. When the sen
tence was pronounced Mr. (iailey
arose in the audience and said,
impressively: "You might as
well put a bullet in my brain, all
hope is lost. I see nothing but.

that a band of Cheyenne Kiver

opinion at the agency is there w i
be no renewal of trouble this

though Hall has left H irris' man
agement, and taken up with Mul-
doon, the Australian still says that
tne cnaiienger oi r ltzsiinmons is
the best man of his weight in the
world. Harris thinks that the
surest thing in the worid is that
Hall will defeat Fit.siiimions if
they ever mtet when both are fit
and well. The only doubt in
Harris' mind is w hether Hall can
light much longer in the middle

growing heavier.

follow ing statements in regard to
the methods under which the
ICaweah colony was conducted.
Haskell and Martin started a joint

ac-es ot timber laud and 2000
acres ol grazing land, and giving

workers were paid iu lime checks,
which entitled the holder to the

An Indian Outbreak.
Boisk Citv, Id tho. April lti.
The Statesman has the following
peciai from lilacktoot, Idaho:
Kverything is utiiet and no appre
hension is felt by citizens of im
mediate danger from Indians, al
though ranchere are thoroughly
armed and ready for an emergency
and they have returned to their
iiceustomed pursuits. The opinion
iere is that the parties who fired
on the Chains stage were whites
lisgtiiscd as Indians, as a man
named Houston was expected to
pass that day with a large sum of
money, but he took another route.
Indians itid squaws are to be seen
m the streets in large numbers to
day, which is not usually the case
when an outbreak is imminent.

The presidential party had a de
Iightful six hours' trip over the
Georgia Pacific from Atlanta to
this city. The president showed
great interest in the scenery and
evidences of enterprise to be seen
on every side. A feature of the
run was a prominent display of
Hags at al the stations, particular
ly at lallapooea, known here as
the Yankee city under Southern
sun, because so much New hng
land capital is invested there. A
local ostinaster ptesented hick
ory canes to the president and
postmaster-general.
Ihe presidents reception at
Birmingham was a genuine ovation
and the demonstration was the
noisiest that has been experienced
on tue trip thus far. Governor
Jones and stall" in full uniform and
a committee of citizens met the
party at Henry Ellyu and escorted
it to the city, where the president
was welcomed bv the niavor and
other municipal officers. Irawn
up in line at the station were the
grand army posts, confederate
veterans, local militia, public
school children, and an immense
crowd ot people. The citv was
elaborately decorated.
Addresses ot welcome were
made by Governor Jones and
Mayor Lane, and when the presi-
lent arose to respond he was
greeted with deafening cheers.
He tnanked them deeply for the
pleasant demonstrations and
spoke of the marvellous develop
ment of this region, which could
not be comprehended until seen
vve inougiii tne war a ereat
calamity, added the president, and
so it w as, and yet we can see now
that God let us through that red
sea to a development in material
prosperity and to a fraternity that
was not otherwise possible. Out
of all this freedom from the inc j-
bus of slavery, the South lias
found a new industrial birth.
Besides all else you have pro
duced three-fourths of the cotton
crop of tne world, and it has
brought you since the war eight
million dollars of money to enrich
your jieople, but as yet you are
spinning in the South only eight
per cent of it. W liy not, wnh the
help we w ill give you in the North
pin it all (Cheers.) I believe
hese southern ports that so fav
orably look out with invitations to
the states ci Central and South
America, shall yet see our fleets
carrying the American flag and
ttie products of Alabama to the
markets of South America. (Great
heermg.; It eeems to me that
whatever we may think of a uoliev
ot aiding steamships, since every
ner great, nation uocs it. we must
do it or stay out of business, for
we have pretty much gone out.
as the procession passed the
opera home the members of a
traveling opera company sang
America, and on one of the
principal streets, school children
were assembled en masse. Two
littld tots stepped forward ami
handed the president a beautifully
illuminated address from all the
school children in the city. The
president was greatly surprised.
and stopping the carriage he
alighted and kissed each of the
little ones who had made tbe pre
sentation. The crowd cheered
and the children sang "America";
as t-;e president drove on.
