"I have reason to believe that Presi-dent Harrison is seriously considering the issuance of such a proclamation, and that if tho restriction which Ger-many places upon our meat products is not promptly removed, an order pro-hibiting the acceptance of German beet sugar at the ports of the United States will soon bo issued." tiik coal lNorsniv.

Timothy Healy, member of parliament, when leaving the court room yesterday at the con-clusion of a trial in which he was inter-ested, was soon surrounded by a how l-ing mob, who followed him along the street and made a number of attempts to assault him. The crowd finally be-came so violent that Healy, to escape his tormcutors, wa9 compelled to beat retreat and take refuge in the dining room of the Victoria hotel, but this proved only a temporary place of safety, for before Healy could recover from' the ctTect of tho mob's rough usage, u man suddenly rushed into the room, turned out the light, rind then struck Healy a powerful blow in the face, smashing his eyeglass into pieces. When assistance arrived and the room was lighted, Healy was. found to have been badly injured, us he hail received numerous' cuts from broken nieces of his eyeglass, and blond was pouring from his faeo in streams. He was re-moved to his room and a physician summoned. Three doctors have made an examination of the wounds in his eyes, and express fears that Healy's in-juries may result in a loss of his sight. Timothy Healy when interviewed upon the suhjert today said: "I was offering my band iu friendly greeting to Dalton when he rushed upon 1110 and hit me a terrilic blow in tho face, smashing my spectacles and forcing some broken glass into my faeo. The injury to my right eye causes intense pain. No, I shall not prosecute him. I freely forgive him, for he has done good work for his country. Besides, he is going to be tried by the govern-ment." The injury done Healy's eye by the blow ho received from last evening's light is of a more serious nature than at lirst supposed. Healy is confined to his bed and physicians say it is prob-able he will remain in bis room for a month, at least. The trial of Michael O'Brien, Dalton and others charged with rioting at the time of the trial at Tippeary of Dillon aud O'lirien opened hero today.

The clerks were all at their accus-tomed desks in the bank but no money was received or paid out. It was said at 10 o'clock that there was nothing new to make public at that hour. The bank is not a member of the clearing house association, but clears through the Gallatin National bank. Under a rule of the clearing bouse the banks clearing in this wav must submit their accounts to examination by the clearing house. Yosterday Bank Hepburn, representing the clearing house, appeared at tho Wash-ington bank to examine its affairs. He soon discovered that its capital was impaired. Two accounts have been discovered footing up $120,000 that are probably total losses. One is for $;0,000, secured by poor and worthless collateral and tho other a draft for $50,000 on John Silva which had been cashed by the president and "hung on tho hook." It is said Silva has promised to make his good. The bank has a capital of $300, 0U0 aud deposits of $i00,OJO. President Sherman feels keenly the closing of the bank aud says it was Ausvvering the accusation that he had given great latitude in loans and accepted undesirable sccurelios, he aid the lirst loan was made to cover an overdraft, because he wanted to save the bank from loss and the man from failure. That overdraft was be-tween $73,000 nnd $75,000. The second transaction was where a man opened nnd continued a;i account by deposit- - ing checks on out of town banks anil d'afts on his principals iu Bridgeport, Conn. One or two of the drafts were i " refused, but as the Bridgeport corre-spondent reported the linn was good ha (Sherman) continued to honor the fi, paper because ho feared the man might J bo embarrassed, nnd he believed he would eventually make everything y' good. Another transaction was the loan of Tl $7300, secured by first mortgage bonds of the Prescott & Arizona railroad to brl the amount of $10,000. These bonds, lie be said, were considered good. Presi-,,r- . dent Sherman said the depositors , vvuiild be all secured. There would be hoiu-- little loss, but that would come ' out of the stockholders.

The president further expressed tho hope that the offenders might bo promptly brought to justice.

Cleveland has written a letter to tl e Indiana Tariff Reform league, ex-pressing regret at his inability to bo present at their annual meeting, in which he say9: "The theories and practices which tariff reform antago-nizes are responsible for many, if not all, of tho evils which alllictour people. If there is a scarcity of circulating me-dium is not the experiment worth try-ing as a remedv, ol leaving the money iu the hands of the people, anil for their use, which is needlessly taken from them under pretext of necessary taxation? If the farmers' lot is a hard ono, are the prices of his products to bo improved by a policy which hampers trade in his best markets and invites competition of dangerous rivals' Whether other means of relief may appear necessary to relievo the present hardships, I be-lieve tho principle of' tariff reform promises a most important aid in their satisfaction.
