Cikcixnati, Nov. 17. A local paper
unnU a story to the effect that bat for
the vigilance of the United States
secrot service officers, President Har
rison would undoubtedly have been
shot by a 'crank" last May.
- The "orank" was first heard of in
March, when'iSenator Hoar received
a very savage letter, which demanded
that he push his resolution to investi-gate-the
Southern courts to tho bitter
eniL-w He declared that unless somo
abuses were rectified he would kill the
president.
Tile matter was placed in the hands
of Chief Bell, of the seoret service,
and two seoret service men finally
succeeded in locating the -writer. He
was a small storekeeper in Peters
burg, Va.
The fellow went to Washington on
May 23rd, being shadowed all the
way and in Washington by detectives.
Tho "crank" stationed himself on
Pennsylvania avenue and when the
president passed for his morning
drivethe fellow, when the executive
carriage was within twenty feet of
Jiim, attempted to draw a revolver.
The two detectives were upon him
in an instant and he was hustled to
police headquarters where a 38-calibre
revolver was found in his pocket. He
boldly confessed that he intended to
kill the president. Later, he was
quietly adjudged insane and he is now
confined in on insane asylum near

SELF CONFESSED.
A California Minister Creates a
Big" Sensation.
Special to The Astoriajt.1
Stockton, Cal., Nov. 17.- Themosfc
profound sensation ever created in
church circles in this city, "was the
result or some of the most startling
remarks made yesterday morning by
Bev. Sj. Munroe from the pulpit of the
Presbyterian church, the largest and
most fashionable in the city.
Unexpectedly Mr. Monroe started
to make a confession of his sin to the
fashionable congregation before him.
He said that, God had commanded
him to do so. Ten years ago, he said,
before his marriage, he had had im
proper relations with women upon
promises of marriage, which he had
never intended to mull, amce
his marriage he said he had
been pure in action, but not in
thought. He then proceeded to tell of
female members of his flock toward
whom he had improper thoughts.
The list embraced married and sin
gle ladies and he mentioned their
names publicly before the congrega
tion. Most of his improper thoughts
came when ho was walking home
from prayer meetings with the sisters.

FROITI ABROAD.
TVliat European firms Say
of
tlic Great laiiic.
Special to The AsxonrAN
New York, Nov. 17. Tho following
private dispatch from a London firm
was received here to-day:
"We do not think the liquidation of
Baring Brother & Co. will seriously
affect any ono in America or here."
The following dispatch has been
received from a Berlin firm in answer
to an enquiry whether there was any
trouble then.
''There are not the slightest diffi
culties; not even rumors."
London, Nov. 17. Foreign secur
ities are now depressed but consols
aro steady. American securities are
weak and the rate of discount m tho
open market is nominally same as the
Bank of England rates.
The Post says: "A private cable
gram from a prominent conservative
banking house in London this morn
ing reports the condition of affairs
thero as having greatly improved.
Special inquiry in regard to any other
house than that of Baring Bros. & Co.
being in trouble, brings the reply that
no other house is even being talked
about. Early London prices for
American stocks were higher and the
revival in confidence was marked.
In Berlin the whole financial situa
tion, all the past week, has been easy
and quiet compared with the Loudon
shrinkage of capital. In the cases of
brokerage firms, speculations in
stocks during the past week have
placed many of the smaller firms in
such a position that they cannot go on.
Two of these suspensions were an
nounced on tho stock exchango this
morning. Possibly tho total liabil
ities of both may not exceed 200,000.
IN WALL STREET.
The market Opens Unsteadily
A Number of Failures.
Special to The Astoria n.1
New York, Nov. 17. The situation
in "Wall street tins morning was very
much straitened and a very nervous
feeling pervaded the street. The
opening of tho stock market was
awaitedwith much anxiety. The at
tendance on tho Exchange when the
callers gavel announced tho opening
of the day's business was greater than
ut any time since the present financial
disturbance began.
The market opened steady, however,
except for Lackawana, which was
weak. In the first few minutes he
whole market sold off little, and as
was expected "Mills, Bobeson & Smith
made an assignment and was followed
by another which was announced
shortly after tho opening of the Ex
change. About 1030 o'clock the firm
of Kandall & "Weinura, brokers doing
business at No. 50 Exchange Place,
notified tho Exchange, through the
chairman, of its inability to meets its
obligations. This caused some con
sternation, but the market is by no
means panicky. Gregory, Ballon &
Co., brokers at No. 1 New street, also
announced a suspension.

"Washington, Nov. 17. Dr. Otis T.
Presbrey, editor of Public Opinion,
has just returned hero from a five
month's trip to tho Pacific coast
including Alaska. Speaking of the
future of that section of tho country,
ho said:
"Of course the principal industry
is found in tho canning of salmon,
there being forty-seven establishments
for that purpose. It is estimated thai
their prodnct will make 1,000,000
cases of canned salmon, each case
containing forty-eight cans. There
are fish enongh to sufilec for centuries
if properly protected by the law.
"The immediate wants of that
country to-day are land laws, and pro
tection to tho fish industry. If the
present method of slaughtering
"jsalmori is kept up, in two or three
years this great industry will be de
stroyed and the loss will be deeply
felt by the country. Congress should
act at once for the better protection of
the fish.
"As to the future of Alaska, the
country is not fitted to becomo densely
populated, but gold and other min
erals, fish product, timber and other
sources of wealth are to eventually
become immensely valnable to this
country. It is in the wonderful land
of America aud the magnet for all
tourists. The natives are docile and
tractable and are begiuning to be
civilized.
