That "bond has not yet been signed, and consequently Mr. fiherwood would not permit the bank to commence business again. Efforts will bo made to obtain such a bond with a view to reopening the bank. A New York dispatch of Saturday eays: Augustus Wiman, the advocate of commercial reciprocity with Can ada, the promoter of numerous pro jects of more or less financial success, and a prominent member of .the New York Chamber of Commerce, the New York board of trade and many other business organizations, has joined his wife in making an assignment for the benefit of his creditors.

He Meets a Royal Reception in the Windy City. The martial music of a military band welcomed President Cleveland o Chicago promptly at 12 o'clock Sat urday, and 3,000 people assembled at the depot and joined in the acclaim of welcome. As the president step ped off the rear of his car he-' was instantly recognized, aniVfco' the loud cheer that went up from the crowd he returned a slight bow. A minute later he grasped the hand of President Palmer, of the national commission, who was accompanied by Vice Presi dent Stevenson and other distinguished officials and citizens. At one side of the president marched Governor Alt- geld, of the state of Illinois, and on the other side, Mayor Harrison, of the city of Chicago.

In the rear came the governor's staff in resplendent uni form, led by Adjutant General Oren- dorf. During all this time, the band was playing and excited policemen were shouting stentorian commands to the crowd, which quite drowned the voices of greeting between the com mittee and the guests of the exposition. A few hurried introductions of a per sonal character took place and then the visitors were hurried to the depot above. A few hasty commands were given and the line was. formed with military precision, and the stately march to the Lexington hotel was commenced.

THE GROWING CROPS. Deport of Weather Bureau for Past Week. The weather and crop conditions of me various sections ox ine state a. given by the weather bureau for the past week is as follows : Cold and windy weather in thenorth- fa ut uie bioic uu reiuxneu &u vege t.i L. .i.i.i a. i i ...'.. I table growth of the past week. Corn has suffered for want of heat and rav ages of cut-worms, so that its condition is not as good as last week. - The more advanced was slightly damaged by frost during the latter half of the week. Corn planting is nearly finished, but some replanting will have to be done. With normal rainfall wheat, oaU and grass are doing finely. The larger part of the cotton crop is not yet up. No serious harm has been done to fruit ex cept where the high wind has in some cases broken the trees. The weather in thenorth section has been very unfavorable for all growing crops, on account of the cold. High winds have baked the lands and greatly retarded the irrowth of cotton and corn. Damage has been done to cot ton by the frequent light frosts, which also injured fruit and gardens. Stands of corn are good. Cotton planting is well under way but not yet finished. Little of the crop is up yet on account of the low temperature, Potatoes and beans have been killed by frost at many points. Grain and grass are promising. - - - . - -' Although the abnormally cold weather and frosts of the past week have probably slightly injured some crops and retarded the growth of all, the rain, which lias fallen at intervals, has doubtless acted as an offset, and crops in the northeastern counties are in fair condition. Cotton is coming up slowly and planting is not com pleted. In some localities farmers are replanting cotton which was injured by frost. Corn is planted and above ground.'" Working over is in progress and an excellent crop is probable. Some complaints are made of slight injury by cut worms, this, however is not general. The fruit crop is in fair condition but rather backward in growth and a slight shortage in yield is indicated. , In the west section the growth of all crops has been checked by coo! weath er during the past week. High winds have caused the soil to bake some, and an additional light rain would be "bene ficial. Cotton has been slightly dam aged by frost and its growth greatly retarded, while the condition is far below the average. In some localities it is dying on account of the cold, un favorable weather. Oats and wheat are heading out slightly and are in ex cellent condition, but some corres pondents report slight injury by bud- worms. J? ruit nas not been very ma terially injured by frost and cold weather and. the prospects are still, fa vorable for an excellent crop. A fine rain in central Georgia dur ing the early part of last week has been of untold benefit to crops in general in this part of the state. About two thirds of the cotton crop is up. Little cropping is 7eported as yet. Plowing of corn is in progress and the crop looks weU though some damage from bud worms is reported. Wheat and oats are coming along finely. Melons are not extra ; have been troubled Dy worms somewhat. Gardens are fair. The prospects for a large fruit crop continue good, though high winds have blown the peaches off consider ably. - The weather has been excellent in the eastern counties with the excep tion of high winds and want of heat. There has been abundant rainfall with out its being excessive. Cotton has been rapidly planted since the rain and the most of the crop is now in. . The chief complaint made is oi injury by cut-woiis which have attacked corn, cotton and gardens. Notwithstanding, the crops are in fine condition in this part of the state. Corn has been worked out and cotton is being work ed. Oats have improved since the rain. The reports 'of fruit are very encoura ging. Irish potatoes lodk well. Cane is growing well but the acreage is rather small. Farms at many places in the south-, west section were badly washed by ex cessive rains, which slighly injured the young and tender crops. The cold weather was somewhat injurious to cotton, corn, oats and the setting of peaches and pears. Cotton and corn are reported to be dying out at some places. . : In mostpf the south section the week has been favorable. Abundant rains on the 19th and 20th relieved the dan ger of drought and have brought up the cotton to good stands. In Brooks, Lowndes and Clinch counties, howev er, the storm was very violent, and the rainfall excessive amounting to over five inches. The downpour in some places washed away crops and soil, do ing great damage. Oats have benefited by the rain and the crop is in cxcex tiqnally good condition. The general appearance of orchards is promis ing. Truck farms are in a good thape, as a rule, although worms are doing some damage, as they are also to corn and cotton. Reports from the counties in the southeastern portions of the state make the fact clear that the weather of the past week has been excellent for all crops in that section. Good wet ting rains prevented the threatened damage from drought, and the weath er in every way has been suitable for all vegetable growth, except that it has been a httle cooL Work is going right ahead. Cotton is about all up, not very good stands yet. Corn plowing is the order of the day. Corn, l though troubled some by bud-worms, is generally in good condition. Wheat ; and oats look weU. Beans are bloom ing. Fruit trees are in good condi tion, and special mention is made of the promising outlook for a good yield of Le Conte and Keiffer pears. WASHIHGTOH GOSSIP.

Otto Dobederlein. of Illinois, to be consul of the United States at Leipsic : David G. Brown, to be collector of cus toms for the district of Montana and Idaho. , A New York special says : Great sat- isfaction was expressed in financial circles Friday morning at the result of I the conference held Thursday evening I between New York bankers and Mr. Carlisle, and Wall street? quickly showed that it appreciated the clear and explicit statement made to the bankers. Although no action was taken at the conference, it was established unmistakably in the minds of the bankers present, that the government was determined to maintain the parity between gold and silver ; that the sec retary thoroughly understood the situ tion and that the stories that there was friction between the secretary and bankers of New York were absolutely without foundation. I.ts f Money Needed. Postmaster General Bissell and his assistants are struggling with the usual problem how to tret through the fiscal year with the growing demands of the postal service on the meager appropria tions made by congress. The biggest appropriation outside of the salaries of postmasters, which are fixed by the law, is that for clerks' in postofhees, and the strain to meet the demand from the 65,000 postoflices of the country is something enormous. The increase in the appropriation this year over last was over $300,000, but appli cations for assistance aggregating $2, 000 000 were on file when the year began. Chicago alone asked for half the in creased appropriation and New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore were not far behind her. The increase for the next fiscal year in this appropriation appears on its face tole $500,000, but $50,000 is knocked out of this to pay for canceling machines, for which a separate appropriation was asked. The allowance for the third-class offices has also been increased $20,000, and now stands at $620,000. , These increases of about 3 per cent are only half the av erage increase of the postal business of the country, which of late years has been nearly double that of the popula tion. TILLMAN ON HIS METAL. He Expresses Himself Tery Forcibly Regarding the Railroad Tax Law. A Columbia, o. C, special says: It is "war to the knife" between the administration and the railroads con cerning the proposition of Receiver Chamberlain to arbitrate their differ ences. Governor Tillman made the following statement Monday which demonstrates his attitude in the mat ter very forcibly : I think the state of South Carolina has courts of law to settle all such questions. She will not arbitrate with anybody about taxes. This proposal is the quintessence of insolence coming from the source it does. We are neither defenseless nor without resources with which to con- tinue the fight We will certainly rontinne until the end is reached. If nsed will destrov the credit of the roads, they will have themselves to blame. The next move will be made very shortly." TILLMAN TURnId DOWN. The Supreme Court Decides the Sooth Carolina Tax Casev t A Washington special ! Monday says : The United States supreme court has denied the petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the South Carolina railroad tax cases. This decision leaves the matter in the hands of the South Carolina courts, and the sheriffs will have to stand the punishment ordered for contempt of court. . - Z -. 1 1 " BIVERS ON THE RAH PAGE. Unclt Damtre Canted by Overflow, A Disastrous Cloadtnnt. Another foot of rise in the river; more flooded villages on the east side; a collapsed warehouse which resulted in one death and a prospect for a rep etition of the scene of a year ago. - All these tell the story of the high water at St. Louis. The river at 6 o'clock Monday evening showed a rise of a fraction of an inch over a foot since 6 o'clock of the night before, with the water still creeping up on the gauge. Many persons who had been Imng in the second stories of their homes were forced, to move out altogether Monday, and several narrow escapes happened, some barely escaping before their res- laences collapsed or floated away. THE SITCATIOX AT AX.TOS. At Alton, HL, much damage has al ready been done. The Missouri Point farmers are applying for aid and are prepared to leave at a minute's notice. The greatest calamity lies in the probability of the " Burlington's em bankment across the Missouri Point being washed away. It cost thousands of dollars to build it and it is now ... . ....

It is five feet above the government danger line and Rat Row and Sausage Row are flooded. No damage has been done and none is apprehended. At Dayton, O., the Miami river reached the unprecedented height of 15.5 feet. , WATEKSPOUT aT TREM0XT CTTT. An noon Monday an immense water spout burst over Tremont City, a vill age near Springfield, Ohio. At about the same tme Mad river broke its banks, and within eighteen minutes the water had flooded the town, carry ing away outbuildings and stables and flooding the first story of residences. No person is' reported killed or drown ed, but there is a heavy loss of stock. At midnight one hundred acres in the northeastern part of the city, contain ing two hundred houses, were flooded and the water was rising a foot an hour. damage: axon a the Arkansas! A special of Monday from Little Rock, Ark., says: The Arkansas river is on a boom. It has risen in forty eight hours to within a little over three feet of the highest mark of the great May flood of 1892. Several houses have passed down the river, snowing that the flood had been encroaching upon civilization up the river, while the current waa filled with trees, logs and brush. BUSINESS REVIEW. Report of Trade for the Fast Week by Don & Co Messrs. R. G. Dun k Co.a review of trade for the past weekaays: Presi dent Cleveland's decision about the redemption of legal tenders all admit has arrested what threatened to be come a serious disturbance. Reports from all parts of the country indicate that the trade has been much retarded by bad weather and unsettled money markets, and complaints of poor col lections are general. Chicago reports a decreased wholesale trade and collec tions behind hand, retail trade .and construction work being retarded by the weather and building materials below last fall's prices. The demand for money is heavy and banks are con servative. At Sioux City no panic re sulted from heavy bank failures, and at Omaha trade is very active, but re tarded at St. Joseph by bad weather. Business is fair at Kansas City, with cattle stronger, but trade is quiet at Denver. At St. Louis, jobbing trade is good ; collections free. South ern orders are small, but cotton seed is in demand for replanting At points in Tennessee trade is generally slug gish and collections small. At Mont gomery and Atlanta some improvement is B2en, but at Charleston trade is dull. New Orleans reports a fair trade with especial activy in real estate and build ing materials, but there, and at most other southern points, collections are slow. The failure of the Pennsylvania Steel Company - causes much depres sion, and makes it harder for other concerns to obtain accommodations. Cotton is an eighth lower on sales of 8C0.000 bales in spite of reported inju ries, the pressure of heavy stocks be ing felt as money lightens. Corn has risen a cent and pork $1 per barrel and the speculations at Chicago seemed to have revived with the bad weather, which delays 'farming operation. Even wheat is a quarter of a cent higher than a week ago, with Kales of 500,000,000 bushels, though receipta at the west are still .heavy and ship ments by lake enormous. Enormous produce exports have improved a little but for the month all axjxrts from New York are still much behind last year's, while imports here show anjua crease of $9,000,000. This state cl foreign trade is still the cause of dan cer of the money market which no 1 election of the administration, however I wise, can entirely remove. I The business failures occuxing throughout the country during the last seven days number 233 as compar ed with total of 203 last week. For the corresponding week of Vast year the fizures were 211.
