ADMINISTRATION'S POLICY IT IS TO GIVE BANKS ALL THE HELP POSSIBLE. A Word of Encouragement For The Sorely Beset Denver Instilulions-More Bank Failures in Colorado. WASHINGTON, July 20.-Mr. James H. Eckels, comptroller of the currency, immediately on his return from New York this morning, addressed to the National Bank Examiner at Denver a despatch definining the policy of the administration with reference to the insolvency of national banking institutions generally, as follows: "I wish you would announce to the officers of banks which have failed in Denver that it is my intention to lend them every aid possible, looking towards a speedy resumption on their part, and that I shall grant to them sufficient time to enable them to not only collect such amounts as are speedidly collectable, but to get together such amounts of money as will enable them to open upon a small basis. It seems to me that citizens who have by a foolish course of conduct in withdrawing deposits from banks which have so long enjoyed their complete confidence, brought about this condition ought, in view of the damage they have done their city, as quickly as possible repair it by standing ready to deposit with them. I fully appreciate all the circumstances of thesituation and that no unnecessary loss may be entailed you are authorized to employ as assistants to protect your paper and collect in moneys, the most competent and truthworthy employes in such institutions. I have also ordered Examiner McHugh of Iowa to report at once to to assist you. "I desire that this telegram be given to the press at Denver, evidencing as it does that the comptroller has faith in the ability of the banks of Denver to resume, and of his desire to lend them every assistance consistent with his official S duty." DENVER. July 20.-The Flanders dry goods company has been attached for e $35,000 and in consequence was compelled to make an assignment this morning. The assets are estimated at $200,000; liabilities $125,000. The failure e was caused by the suspension of the Peo11 ples' National bank. a The First National banks at Cannon city and Grand Junction, this State, e failed to open their doors this morning. e

TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The First National Banks at Canon City Grand Junction, Col., failed to open their doors to-day. Two five-year-old children who were crossing a street in Pittsburg, Pa., today, were run down by an electric car and killed.

There is no truth in the report from Washington, Ga., about a threatened conflict between democrats and populists, when Hon. T. E. Watson speaks to-day. A special to the Chronicle says that Watson was met at the depot by a large crowd, principally of negroes Miss Winnie, daughter of Mrs. Jefferson Davis, is ill at Narragansett Pier. Miss Davis is only slightly ill and no apprehension is felt either by her mother or by the physicians. Last night she was comfortable and the doctor said she would be all right in a few days. Last evening Mrs. Tim Laughny, of Etna, Pa., tried to start her kitchen fire, using oil as kindling. A terrific explosion followed. The roof of the kitchen was blown off and Mrs. Laughny was covered with the burning oil. Her husband succeeded in extinguishing the fire but not until his wife had been frightfully burned. After a few hours of great agony she died. Two sons, the only children of Andrew Peterman, of Braddock, Pa., lost their lives while bathing in a dangerous place in the Mongahela river last evening. John, aged 9, dived from the bank and struck his head against a piece of cinder. His skull was fractured and he sank to the bottom. His brother, Stanislaus, aged 12, jumped to the rescue and he was drowned. Intense excitement exists in the hamlet of Waterville, Ohio, over a phenomenal oil find. Two wells are flowing 600 barrels a day and several others are running 200 to 400. Oil men from all over the country are flocking in on every train. Owen McCabe, of Washington, D. C., was one of the patrons of Bradley's bathing house at Asbury Park, N. J., yesterday. He foolishly left $400 in his clothes which was missing when he returned from the bath. The Flanders Dry Goods Company of Denver, Col., has been attached for $25,000, and in consequence was compelled to make an assignment this morning. Liabilities $125,000. A disastrous fire occurred at Susanville Cal., Tuesday night resulting in the destruc tion of sixty buildings and causing a loss of about $250,000. Runs were started on every bank in Guthrie, O.T., to-day, but all depositors are being paid in full and things are quieting down. Senator Edward B.

First National bank, of which G. A. Rice is president and G. A. McFarland cashier, failed to open its doors this morning. A notice was posted on the doors stating the liabilities to be $50,000 and assets $109,000, leaving a balance of $59,000 in favor of the bank. The depositors were further informed that no one would lose a penny, and that the bank would reopen as soon as it could realize upon its securities.

The runs were very light, and it is thought it may weather the storm without any trouble. CANON CITY, Col., July 20.-When the hours for opening the banks arrived this morning passers-by were confronted with a notice on the First National bank announcing that owing to failure of Denver banks it would have to suspend for a short time. This announcement caused no excitement, and no run is being made on the Fremont County bank, which is perfectly solid, and no fears are entertained in regard to it. The assets of the First National are largely in excess of liabilities, but ready funds could not be realized on securities, so suspension was necessary.
