ALL DEMANDS PROMPTLY MET Some of the Ifousea K'pt Open Till Late Hour-Brokers Circulated DIS- turblng Bunion. Associated Press. Chicago. June 5. The- failure of Her man Schaftner lb Company's bank, which occurred last week, bore fruits today in well defined runs which were precipitated on almost, if not every one of the savings banks of Chicago. The first to feel the effect of the ex- Leitement was the Bank of Commerce, wher a great many Jewish citizens and the poorer class kept their accounts. The Schaftner failure had alarmed them and they bor down on the Bank of Commerce at the opening hour. The tellers were doubled up and paid the check agfast as presented through out the day, the! officials of the"btrk expressing nq alalrm whktever, and saying they were able to meet any de mands. The Illinois Trust & Pavings Bank, which' has a larger line of this class of depositors than any other bank In the city, amounting at times to aajoj uijxa tru uo ind '000'000'ZIt -ao of tellers and paid every" one as rapidly as possibla They posted a notice on the front door that the bank would re main open until 10 o'clock, and so long as the present excitement continues, 'The Hibernian bank, which was the depository for a large number of Irish- Americans of small means, was crowd ed all day, but found no difficulty in meeting the demands. The Dime Sav ings Bank took advantage of the rule requiring, if neceesary, sixty days' no tice of withdrawal, and paid only n percentage on the deposits today.i The Globe Savings Bank applied th-j thirty day rule. ' - .. The Milwaukee Avenue Savings Bnk sustained a moderate: run throughout the day, and they, too, kept open house until 9 o'clock tonight. An equally spirited was noted up An ojqually spirited checking was noted on the Prairie State National and the Prairie State Savings Bank, as well as upon the Union Trust Com pany's and Avenue Savings Bank, but In no case was any alarm felt by well informed people. In fact at many of these Institution the larger depositors caand lm during the afternoon and nmdo heavy deposits. -Today's situa tion was greatly aggravated by a num ber of board of trade brokers, who for reasons of their own, devoted themselves to the circulation of sensa tional rumors In which they Involved at one time or another nearly every bank in the city, and a large number of leading stockyard operators. Notwith standing these malicious efforts, no fear is felt as to the safety of any of the leading banking Institution of the city. The failure of Meadowcroft Bros, a minor Institution with deposits of perhaps $200,000, aroused little or no Interest. At 1:30 a. m. the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank was still open, the force of paying tellers at the seven windows having been rellevedd by fresh men, and enough people still waiting for their money to keep the bank open two hours more. The bank officials are rater pleased than otherwise to saving to the Institution in Interest So far the net profit is about $35,000, It is announced that the bank would not close as long as a single depositor cared to draw out a dollar. President Mitchell said: "We will stay right here -for three months, and not close our doors night or day If such proceedings should be come necessary. We are good for any run, no- matter how long it keeps up. run, no matter how long it keeps up." EAST AND ELSEWHERE. Banks and Banking Houses Closed Yesterday. Chicago, June 5.

OH WM QUESTION EYidcncB of Wtiolcsalc Fraud Pi liy tnc DcparEmeut. THE ACTING tEUKSlAEY SAlS Beston's Oill.ctor Nolltled to !lseit tlnue the Prautfco of Certifying to AffldavltsofAutheiitleatli.il. Associated Press. Washington, June 6. The treasury deportment for some time has believed that Chlnere were using affidavits of authentication for illegitimate pur poses, some taken out here were sent abroad and sold to Chinamen; in other cases Chinamen would dispose of them after reaching Chinnl and In, b,ath casew llio law was violated. Under the law Chinese merchants who desire to leave this country to visit China here tofore have been furnished with pa pers which, hhen endorsed by tjie United States consul at the port of em barkation, entitled them to again en. ter I he United States. Acting Secre tary Hamlin thinks the abuse should be stopped, and has addressed the col lector ar Boston the following letter on the subject: "Under date of April 19, lust, the United States consul at Hongkong transmitted to the department affida vits submitted to him for authentica tion, and which appeared to have been ibsued at your port on September 5th, 1892, and February 4th, 1893, over the signature of Deputy Collector J. L. Swift, to Ye Sing and Yee Mot Rip, respectively, alleged to be Chinese per sons residing In Boston who left the United States with the Intention of re turning thereto. The consul declined to endovsa said documents for the rea son that It was evident the person? presenting the same had never been In the United States, as shown by their Inability to answer any questions rela tive to this country. Notwithstanding thlr fact the affidavits stated that they, had resided here a unmber of years. It is evident the persons presenting the affidavits are not those to whopi they were lsrued at Boston. In view of the mlssuse of pipers thus prepared in the United States, the department is of the opinion that It is not' advisa ble for collectors of customs or their deputies to certify to the same, and you are requested to give the n.scs csary Instructions to discontinue the pmetiee t your port. The state department will probably not inlerfwij in the cases of tht? Dan ube, rt Portlend. OrcTin. where th" captain t,ii..-iiil I i the ilriU.ih lega tion for relief from the ord'V f "' court which rciiulivd him to brlntr n'l Chinese passengers before the court to answer writs of habeas corpuj. Tin captain was willing the Chinese should aanswer, but feared to assume the heavy responsibility of preventing the escape of Chinese, when once ashore. Sir Julian Pauneefote, the British am bassador, was at thei state department today, probably to present the case to Secretary Greshnm. It Is believed at the department that there will be no difficulty In complying technically with the order of the court, while avoiding the possibility of escape of the Chinese. This could be done If the marshal served his writes on board the vessel and left a deputy aboard In charge of the Chinese until the court pas-ted up on the cases. A BLOW AT THE TRUSTS. Chicago, June 5, Trei national con Vendlon called by GovernT Nelson, of Minnesota, lo take action toward put ting a stop to the formation of trusts and combinations in this country, met here today.

I . AMERICAN INVENTIONS. Several Reasons Why the United States Lead All Other Nations. Of all the countries In the world none Is so prolific in inventions as America. Several reasons, for this araf assigned by London Englicerln- Tha ease of obtaining patents and thejf cheapness holds out to every man tha chance of creating for himself a pleea of property by the exercise of hia brains. The high rate of wages insures the Inventor of a labor-saving appll ance a patient hearing frctn capitalists', while the Independence of thought and feeling which pervades all classes leads to original views, and to bold attacks on difficult subjects. Hence everyone Is a potential Inventor, especially If he has an acquaintance with science or manufacture. Whatever a man's occu pation, he must! dally find hlmseaj called upon to do so or to suffer many things which he would gladly emanci pate himself. The proverb says: "Therfl Is a remedy for every 111 but death, and Beeing how many ills there are the opportunities for devUinjr remedies are not only numberless, but they ara present too all. The unenterprising bent with patience the Inconveniences that surround them, but those with aotlva mind busy themselves with expedients to lighten the burden of life, and looK for their revard under the provlMoiia of the patent law. The Inventor Is tha greatest benefactor of the human race, and especially that part of It that ts indigent; he Is the real friend of tha poor man, and, Indeed, almost his only, friend. It Is when we compare the condition of the poor today with tint of thft previous ages thn.t we see how much the Inventor has dime for lnuiunlty. To know how hard life must have beelt before the advent of machinery, wet '.i'v i v.'.y to i.;. s!uj ti f tnlly sot duvMi on a small Inland and called ui . a to provide all their fond nnd clotl lug without the aid of rnoiVr frit mechanjeal appliances to thrash, Winnow and grind; to Hilt a cattle, kill and dresB them; to Bhear, card, spin and weave their wool; tot make and mend their clothes; to pr vide soap, candles, tools, cutlery, earth enware, paper, pencils, nails, medicine leather, boots, ropes and the thousanl and one things that are needed In a home. .Evidently It could not bo done, even if labor were continued front dawn to eve, and then extended fop into tha night. And this under thf favorable conditions of a yeoman's family without rent to pay. Homh much worse must it have been under the exactions of a feudal landlord. Two-thirds of whut we considered noc esnnrles must have been omitted front the list of that day and to sore toll ' muHt have been added scanty fare anil Insufficient clothing. During the ternl of his patent the member, or his as Bigrice, may make money out of it, bufl when It expires It practically become a gift to the masses. The producing power of the world hns been incrcnseil manifold, without any corresponding Increase In the consuming power of th'l upper classes. The wealthy do not ea(i more bread and meat today than the; did years ago. Yet the output of thos.j commodities has been vastly atigmcn ted and they are consumed In largl quantities by a section of the popular Hon which once seldom got flesh food, nnd often went short of bread. Ami ho of nearly every other Industry; tlvj working classes take the bulk of v.huS Is produced, for the very good reso: that they are able, by the aid of ma chliic-ry, to turn out several times al much work In a day as could their fore- fathers. At the same time that theli production ha: increased, their actual labor has diminished. A man with nl heavy Job tn a foot lathe not onlj vorked slowly, but painfully, when! the long day was donel every faculty wan exhausted and he tramped hom1 to rest, expanded both In body an t mind. Now he bwiks on while the lathit docs the work. Ills hours, too, anj shorter than they were, while the ap I reclatlon of gold which bus takerd place has enormously JncrivtKed M- wagep by augmenting their imrchn?-, Insr powr.
