Ciot i ) , Nob. , Doc. 21. ( Special Tclo-
Brnm to fin : lit r J Although not entirely
unexpected , n notieo posted on the front door
of the Kc'il Cloud National brink , this morn
ing , announcing the closing of that Institu
tion , caused something of u Btir In the city ,
, A few days ngo when theicihiont directors
wore presented with a statement of the con
dition of the bank , and were nskod to sign It ,
they refused. Their reason for fto doing Is
tald to have been because of u refusal by the
other stockholders to carry out the condi
tions of u siilo entered Into about September
E , when L. P. Albright , then cashier , nnd
ono or two others sold their interests. This
refusal to sign tlio statement created
uncai.lncsn nmong the bank's. ' Omaha nnd
Kaunas City coi respondents , who soon had
representatives on thu ground looking into
the matter. The moro thvy tenuhe.il the
moro serious the trouble grow. The first In
timation the public had of the real extent of
the trouble was on Saturday , when it became
known that the drafts nmilc by the bank had
been protested , and on * their presentation nt
the counter they announced their Inability to
pay them , and closed the doois before the
regular hour. Your correspondent ttien
called upon the olllclals , who said they foil
Riiro of being able to open up this morning in
good condition. This they did not do. The
real cause of the fulluco , 11 is generally sup-
poHcd , dates back sovciul weeks , and is us
follows. About thoIstoT ScptomberL. P AI-
bright , cashier , was confronted with the fact
that the Itcd Cloud Milling company owed
the bank about f lsOOU. which amount they
\vcio unnblo to pay and unwilling to secure.
The oitlcors of the milling company then
cnmo forward with a proposition to buy Mr.
Albiight'H stock and part of his father-in-
law's ' , which they did , Mr Albright accept
ing in p.ut pavmcntflii.OOOof the bills rcceiv
able of the bank ; ptcsumably being paid for
the bulanco by checks on the milling com
pany. In order to appease the balance of the
stockholderswho clamored to be released and
to have their stock bought , u bond was on-
teicd Into by the now stockholders for
the puichnso of the stock of
Lovl Moore nnd ono or two
others , nil heavy holders. Wo are informed
that the sixty days In which Iho bond waste
to run was allowed lo puss nnd no transfer
was made , hence Iho would-be sellers thoughl
that , by refusing to sign the statement , thov
could form a compliance with the terms of
the sale. Besides the ; ? 18,000iibovomentioncd ,
It is supposed that the milling company ,
whoso representatives gained control of the
institution , have succeeded in getting still
deeper into the bank , The bank is now in
the hands of the National bank
examiner , T. M. Gnftltl ] , who
nrrivud this morning , nnd to whom much
credit is duo for his prompt and decisive ac
tion. Ho Is as yet unable to furnish a state
ment of the ussels or liabilities. Neither of
the other city banks will suffer nn\ incon
venience in consequence of Uii5 failure. The
cullie Iroublo is tiaccablo to inexperience ,
nnd , what may prove worse , u corrupt use of
the baa It's assets.

called to see Mrs. Hornier nnd found her
Buffering from poisoning , which her hus
band said she had taken despite Ins efforts
to pi event lior. Iho next day It was learned

back and ho beat her again. She died Sun
day. An Inquest will bo held. The deceased

WASHINGTON , D C. . Dec. 24. I
Some of the lending Get man-American
citizens in this city nro very indignant over
he utter disregard of the rights of Amcrl
cans In Samoa , which Is exhibited by the
present head of the state department. One
gentleman , who has carefully watched the
reports from that llttlo kingdom , expressoi
the opinion to-night that the United Stales
had played the braggart in the case of Haytl
whllo acting the coward in dealing with Ger
many in the Samoan affair. "This Is per
haps due , " said this gentleman , "to n dcslro
to plcnso the Gorman-American population
of this country , but it Is n wrong idoa. The
Gci man-Americans do not desire to see the
intorestsof the United States put in Jeopardy
in that iinpoitant point , nor do they desiie
to see German supremacy established thero.
The idea advanced , of a government by lor-
cign ministers for Samoa , Is absurd in the
extreme , but this country should tnko n hand
in the mutter and Immediately establish n
piotcctorato over Samoa , If this was done
there would bo no more fear of German
aggression , or of the trampling under footol
the rights of Americans. There me a greai
many Americans on the Island of German
birth , who owe allegiance to the stars and
stripes , and they do not caio lo sco the
standard of Germany Hooting over them
again. "
CIIIMSTMAS IN W4SII1NOTOJT.
Christmas will bo spent in Washington in
n very quiet manner , so far as social fcstivi
tics nro concerned In the higher circles of
society. The'Prusldcnt and Mrs. Cleveland
have decided to remain nt the white house
throughout the day , nnd ns they
alone they will have their Christmas dinner
without company. Thcro have teen no elabo
into preparations , but the usual amount of
holly and misletoo decorates the private
looms of the president and his wife , and Iho
gaudner in charge of the green houses
has been nil i sing some particular
( lowers industriously for some weeks in
order that Mrs. Cleveland's penchant for
lovely blossoms could bo gratified to the
highest degree possible. The Misses Bayard
are in the city , but have made no prepara
tions for social festivities until after New
Yeai's. Mrs. Fahchild , after enjoying her
Christmas dinner in Washington , will leave
for Now York on Wednesday and icturn on
the following Monday , in order to be present
at the Now Year's reception which is al
ways held at the white house. Mrs. Endl-
eott left with the secretary on Friday for
New England , nnd will spend Christmas in
her Massachusetts home. Mrs. Dickinson ,
wife of the postmaster general , has several
guests hero from Michigan , whu will en
liven her house to-morrow , tmt thcro are
to bo no festivities other than these
confined to the members of the
family nnd their guests. Mrs. Vilas
is still too ill to think of the
social affairs of the nation and Mrs. Whitney
is the only one of tno cabinet ladies who has
anv programme for Iho week. Mrs.Whilnoy
will give a german on Tuesday evening ,
which will , of course , bo a very enjoyable
cffair lo all lliose so fortunate as to receive
cards. The affair is to bo a childrens' parly
in honor of ono of Mrs. Whilney's lillle
nieces , who is a guest at the house nt pres
ent. On Saturday Miss Molty Vilas , the
president , and Miss Pauline Whitney , secre
tary , will bo in their clcmcnl as officials , as
Iho Children's Christmas club is to follow
tlio course adopted during Mr. Arthur's ad
ministration und will keep up the cuilom of
supplj Ing the poor children of the city with
a substantial dinner on Saturday.
Your correspondent , this afternoon , took
some pains to ascertain from the business
men of Washington what effect the ele'clion
had had upon the Christmas holiday trado.
Without exception the mci chunls on nil the
principal streets never before had such busi
ness , and the How of money into their coffers
was simply unprecedented. Nearly DO per
cent of the business houses of Washington
nro conducted by democrats , and they would
bo the last to admit that Iho piospccl of re
publican ascendency had been beneficial to
ihcm unless It was absolutely true. On all
sides Iho merchants admit that they could
account for the increased trade only
by the fact that it was an
Indication that everyone expects the next
fourycars to bo more prospeious thnn the
last four have been. Ono man , m particular ,
who has been u quite liberal conlnoulor to
dcmociatic campaigns in the past , If the re
ports to that cftcct can bo relied upon , said to
your coriospondent to-night : "If I had any
Idea how beneficial the election of Harrison
would have piovcd In my business this year ,
I certainly should not have taken the pains
that I did to secure his defeat. As H is , I
have recovered entirely from the feelings
which I had on Iho 7tli of November , and
financially 1 am bottcroffto day Ihan I should
have been If Mr. Cleveland had been elected.
I don't know why it Is , .but trade in Wash-
Inglon Is better than it has been before since
the war period. Everybody seems willing to
spend iiioucj , and wo are icupiiig the bene
fit.
Limit's COMIITION ,
Reports from Kutcka Spiings , Ark. , ns to

place to the olfcct that Mr. Laird's condition
was exceedingly serious ; tint he was threat
ened with brain fovcr , and thai these around
him wcro genet ally alarmed over his symp

hand , Mr. Lalul's man , here , told mo last
uight that ho had just icccivcd word to the
effect that Mr. Laird was in a very much
better condition than ho had been for some
time , und thai Iho prospects of his early ro-

CANADIAN ANM\ATIO.V. :
Inasmuch as thcro has boon a great deal
of talk lately nbput Canadian annexation and
the division of the Dominion into states of u
size lit to go into the union , It might bo of
interest lo know something of the vast coun
try to the north of Iho United States which ,
politically In no way related to us , is so In
timately tied up with the prosperity of the
United States.
Canada Is often looked upon us a bleak ,
bairon territory lit to produce little besides
lumber , " furs und skins. Yet within the
conllncs of the Dominion there are vast
areas or agricultural lands capable of pro
ducing corrals in bulllcicnt quantities to sup
plj the entlie woild if crops in all other
coui'ues bhould fail , And In minerals it
woi id scorn to bo even richer than the
United .Slr.lcs.
In this city this week have been two gen
tlemen connccicd with the royal commission
on thu icsourccs of Camilla , These penile-
men wcro John Chailion. M , P. , chairman of
the commission , and Archibald Blue , its sec
retary. They cnmo to Washington to inquire
Into the methods of the United States geological
logical survey and to gather all the Informa
tion obtainable relative to the mining statis
tics and the tinning lands of thu United
States and the variou , , states and territories ,
They were very well received here , and have
gone on lo Birmingham , Ala . lo witness the
tents of u now bjhtcm for i educing sulphur
ous and other rcfiuelory oics , which are now
of little value. Borne of tlioso ores were
shipped f.-om the mines at Coclull , Out. , to
iiirminffhum , and are thcio to bo tested , If
the uuv ; noccss prove * to bo anything near
ns valuable as Is claimed , it will revolutionize
the work of reducing refractory oreB , and
will enhance the value of millions of Jens of
Iron ore which nro now consldercdialmost
useless.
After their visit to Birmingham tbb gen
tlemen will proceed to Pittsburg to look into
the mining operations thcro , nnd will then
return to Canada and prepare their report to
bo submitted to the Canadian legislature.
Mr. Charlton , in conversutlon with jour
correspondent , said this commission was ap
pointed for the purpose of c : amlnlnK into
the mineral resources of the Province of On
tario nnd for making suggestions for the bet
tor development of the mines , "We have besides
sides the copper regions about Ludburp am
Vcrmllllon , coal regions between Vet million
nnd Lake. Huron , the mining regions along
the north shore of the Gorglnu bay , ns fa
west ns the Sioux ; the counlry north o
Luke Superior , the silver district west o
Port Arthur , and the gold region of the Lake
of the Woods , the Iron district on the Mln
ncsota border , and the iron und phosphate
mines of Eastern Ontario , nna the Goodrlcl
salt district , nnd the petroleum da
posits In the viclnltj o ( Pctrolia
Wo have taken the ovldcnco of minera :
prospectors and property holders , and have
compiled a vast amount of information as to
the resources of the province nnd various
mattcis connected vv'ith their 'development
The result of the Investigation shows thai Iho
Province of Onlario has vast , almost Inox-
haustablc , mineral resources In Iron , copper ,
nickel , gold , silver , galena , plumbago , salt ,
phosphate * and prolroleum , and , probably ,
the finest quarries In Iho world of marble
nnd frco stone. Several mines have been
established , nnd have already proved ex
tremely profitable in Iho vicinity of Port
Arthur. Ono old minor whom wo met bore ,
Captain Nichols , was connected with Iho
mines in Colorado forycars , nnd he informed
mo that if Iho same deposits exisled in the
Centennial State the country would bo wild
with excitement. I don't think there is any
doubt that Ontario in many respects Is the
best supplied In mineral products of liny
portion of America , and with some changes
In the Canadian mining laws , I havenodoubt
that Canadian mining operations will become
ns extensive ns these on this sldo of the
bolder line. "

McMi'ins , Tenn. , Deo. 21. There is noth-
ng of a startling ualuro to report concern-
ng the disaster of the Kale Adams beyond
what was mentioned in last night's dispatches.
William Donohuo , ono of its clerks , came up
, his forenoon from the wreck. IIo was in
tho.jawl with Clerk Corbctt when it cap
sized and Iho lust he saw of his colleague ho
was iloallng down the river clinging to a
small ladder. Donohuo managed to catch
on lo a bale of colloii nnd was swept out inlo
, ho current nnd rescued six miles below
Commerce by nogioos on tlio Arkansas hide
of the river. Ho wiys Corbett may possibly
iivo been rescued further down the river.
I'ho loss of lifo Is not yet definitely known
and the prospects are that the exact number
Irowncd will never ho accurately stated.
i'lilrty-fivo is the most conservative cstlmuto.
Dutof a paity of fifteen while laborers which
jourdcd tlio steamer only two are said to
iavo been saved. If this be true ,
inil there are no means of substantiating the
facls , Iho loss of lifo may be sixty , as many
ipgrocs who were on Iho lower deck lost
heir lives In attempting to swim ashore
'rora'tho boat. The steamer and her cargo
voro valued at 5145,000.

Emery LJ. Sellers , United States district
attorney , whoso resignation 1ms not yet

to-day. Ho snjs ho occupies rather a strange
position. The president has not accepted
his resignation , neither has ho been officially

less ho assumes that llalloy's nomination

attoiney of Indiana.

with the insldo history of Indianopolls , la out
in an interview giving a new reason for Sol
Icrs' resignation , which , ho says , ho has
from Sellers direct. Judge Sulie says : Mr.
Sellers talked unreservedly regarding the
Dudley letter , and said ho was satisfied , the
Sentinel had fallen into a trap set , for the
Indiana democrats by Dudley ; that tlio letter -
tor was written with n view of having it
reach as many democrats as possible ;
that no better medium of circulation
among democrats could bo obtained
than the Sentinel ; that only one
letter was written , and that ono sent where
it would certainly fall Into the hands of the
Sentinel ; that it was Dudley's Intention to
divert attention from New York by that
letter and cause the democrats to concen
trate all their funds , as well as their best
ctloits in Indiana , thereby enabling the re
publicans tin carry New York , which they
did ; and that the letter was no unimportant
factor in such n icoult ; that no such letter
was over sent to or icceived bj the icpubli-
cau commlttccmen ; tint ho expressed this
same opinion to the leaders of kis party , and
that the Sentinel is mad because of the
blunder it made. "
Judge Claypool. assistant United States
district attorney , HI an interview this even
ing , intimated that something of intcicst
might be said about the Dudley case if
the law did not impose silcneo icspcctinir

Acting District Attorney Bailey sajs the
government has made good progress and has
great amount of evidence , ami that it is not
