THE FINANCIAL CRASH.
News butchers have
been handing itaround
and sending it abroad
that ( "hirlotte was in
financial distress. This
is false and mislead
ing. Our city never
was in a more pros
perous condition than
at present ft is true
there is little money in
the treasury, but the
same may be said of
the U. S. Treasury.
But our resources are
by no means exhaust
ed and we are still
in the van. , The crash
is not in the city's fi
nances but in our
prices. We sell so far
below our competitors
that they are out of
sight.

Cnwdi.
London, July 10. -Th Inhabitant or
London and vicinity turned out In
force In order to witness the progress
in State of the Emperor William from
JBucKingnam raiaoe to Uuild Hail and
back to the Palace after partaking of
the hospitality, of the Lord Mayor of
London. From the earliest hours of
the morning crowds of people had been
literally pouring towards Buckingham
Palace, St. James Park, Strand, Fleet
street, Ludgate Hill, and the city gen
erally in order to take up some position
where they could get as good a sight
01 tne imperial urooeaslon as it was
possible for them to get by grim deter
mination and good elbow work.
From the earliest hours also in addi
tion to crowds of pedestrians flocking
city wara mora were large borne or
regular troops and volunteers to be
marching toward position they had
been assigned to occupy along the
route, and besides soldiers, there were
fully 8.000 polioemen in motion with
the sam object in viw. Thus the
crowded busy bustling state of street
nours Before the prooteilon started
may be easy imagined.
as :8u a. m. an trarno aione tne
route and through the streets bordering
it had not only stopped but still mors
effectively brought to a standstill by
the will of the people who packed every
foot of space available and who were
not to be moved nnder much less pres
sure than that of a police charge. As
the hour for starting the procession
midday drew near, the crowds, press
ed upon the soldiers and polios In most
good natured though so forcible a man
ner that it required th utmost eifort
of the red coats and blue ooats to keep
them from breaking: through the
red and blue lines formed from
the palace to Guild Hall. While this
early crowding was in progress the
Emperor, as usual had commenced bis
days work at ao early hour. At about
seven o'clock the Emperor had left
Buckingham Palace on horseback for
H-tten Row. Hyde Park, where he en
j))ed an invigorating ride. At 8 o'clock
no reviewed the Qjeen Westminster
Volunteers on the lawn of Bnokinsham
Palace. For tliat occasion
tho Emperor worn a liit, blue
Prussian uniform. After this review
tbe(l(rmn rule, enjoyed a lijiht break
fast aud then visaed tho naval exhibi
tion where he waa much interested tn
models of new war ships and big guns.
Leaving the naval exhibition the Em
peror returned to Buckingham palace
and retired to transact a mass of public
business connected with the German
Empire before preparing for his progress
to the historic Guildhall.
Juat before starting; on his journey
the Emperor received a brief telegraph
ic and courier report brouicht by
mounted polioemen and calvarymen to
the palace upon the position of affairs,
from various points along the line the
procession was to follow. All the re
ports concurred in the promise that an
orderly and magnificent reception
would be accorded to the Emperor by
the loyal subject of the Queen of En
gland. Precisely at noon the royal state cai-
riage left the palace all sparkling with
gold ornamentation and drawn by eight
superb postillions ridden horses flanked
by mounted life guardsmen and mount
ed polios and conducted by white be-
wigged footmen and coachmen of Im
mense size. The royal carriages, upon
leaving the palact pased towards Marl
biruug gate, through linea of Grenadier
iruards and police backed up by huge
swaying, cheering crowds of people
An 1 be procession left the pilar- from
try quarter withta and without the
city boundaries peals of twits rang out
from onurcn steeples and announced
joyfully to the expectant masses that
the Imperial procerslon bad commenc
ed.
Cp the Strand the deoorations were
superb not through unity of design at
men there was no attempt, but
through sheer plenitude of display.
Every inch of the wsy from ths Strand
to Guild hall abounded la color. Front
of buildings everywhere draped with
nowers; innumerable lane buns: ia re
toons or arching the streets. Flsg of
course were also everywhere to be seen
and bunting of almost every nationality
was displayed, dooipiouout among-all
of them were hundreds of American
flags. Clubland, in the west end where
the most oostly display of decoration
might have been expected was unusu
ally bare, only the Carletonand Junior
Carleton olnbs rising to anything like
rural deoorations or the former great
state functions Strange to add no
great number of onlookers ap
peared at the club windows nor
was ther any great popular effuaive-
apparent until th Imperial party
apppraaehrd Trafalgar vquare. There
1 mighty rnar of acclamations filled the
air aa the K nprror's carriage drew near
and bis march was an Incessant ova
tion. The reception of the Prince of Wale
was of a mix d chiracwr. At point
ha was received with unstinted cordial
ity aad occasionally a perfect hurricane
cheer and at others loud hoot inn
quit dominated ths cheers, though, on
the whole, hi teoeptton was favora
ble.
At 19.05, the Imperial party reached
Guildhall the approaches to which, bor

Mayor received his guest at th B
trance aad a precession was formed

It ia not probable that Gov. Holt will
Indulge sin anything like extended
recreation during the summer. Th
large amount of work thrown upon th
department by th last leaislatur la
the matter of the direct taxes, will re
quire almost hi constant attention.
Outside of a short visit to the enoamp
oient, it oan be well doubted if he will
absent himself from the eapitol for any
considerable time.
The improvement In the condition of
0. M. Busbee during last night and this
morning has been more manifest than
at any time during his sickness. This
Is especially so aa to mental recupera

dulged that he will soon recover.
The Soldiers' Home on the ground of

treasurer, is hi dally receipt of small
contribution, but nothing oommenaur
ate with the need. Thar are now
about thirty Inmates, most of whom
were taken from the poor houses of the
different counties.
Although the authorities who re
quested th arrest of Clarence BuBbea,
had been officially notified ao officer
has up to this writing, arrived to take
him in charge. The chief of polio iui
that nnless he hear something definite
