The suspension of the Marino nation
bank was announced a little after 11 th

failure waa the banks inability to nip
its debts , about § 500,000 , at the cloarii

But to him it seemed inevitable that th

Mr. Blackburn spoke in favor of tl

Mr. Morrison closed in the debate f
the bill with A rapid review of the o'

rapid und brief answers to these objc

the enacting clause bo aufeod to , it wou

party would appeal to congrc < 8 and

He then turned to Randall and sai
"You claim to have the power to atril

you have that power , you have the paw
to amend this bill and make it what

ocratio side. ]
After a few moro cursory remarks i
the general subject of tariff reform , Me
rain's time expired.
A murmor of expectancy ran throui
the ranks of both aides aa the chairmj
directed the clerk to road tko bill.
The audience which throughout ti
day crowded the galleries almost to m
fpcation hushed their hum of convcra
tion and watched with intense intercut.
As the clerk began Mr. Converse Ii
his seat in the last row of ecuts n
walked down to the bar of the lieu !

This was the signal for a volley of h

nnd rounds of Applause from the ropub-
