BIG CRASH IN KANSAS CITY , The American National Bank is Forpod to Oloso lia Doors , SENSATION IN BUSINESS CIRCLES , President ritlmson Ittnincs tlio Clear ing House Climax of a Week's Hun Secretary ISlnlno n Stockholder. KANSAS Cur. Mo. , , lan. 13. [ Special Tele- jratn to Tun Bur.l The American .National bank , capital J UftO.OOO , ono of the largest In stitutions In the city , closed Its doors this nornlnp. A run Is being made on the Kan sas City savings bank , a poor man's lustltu- .lou , nnd great excitement prevails. No statement of thn lublllties or nssots can bo obtained , During the carlv part of last week It became known to the members of the Kansas Ult'y clearing house association that , ho bank was iu need of assistance. A nicct- np of the association was called and a roso- utloii adopted assuring the American that upon n proper showing assistance would bo rendered to the amount of $1,000,000. A committee was appointed to examine the col- latciuls , anil Saturday they reported the paper offered not such as the banks of the association would accept. This decision made the failure of the bank inevitable , and the hank examiner assumed charge of the concern. Asa result of the failure a great deal of uneasiness has been created. The deposits of the bank nra about $1,2CO- OOO.havIngfallen to timt amount from f I.OOJ- 000 sinto the ilrst of last October. It is as- cortaincd that the bank owes over $300,000 boirowcd money. Gentlemen iu n .condition to know the condition of the other national banks of th'is city suld this morning they nro in un unusually good condition nnd would not bo materially affected by the failure. A big run was made on the Kansas City safe deposit company on account of the American national bnnk failure , and the institution was forced to suspend. It Is the .arrest , concern of the Kind la the state nnd Is situated directly under the American na tional. The failure has created intense excitement iicro today. Although It has been known In financial circli-s for several days that the American was in bad shape the average citi zen hail no idea of the crash , Thoio was a run all day long on the Kansas City safe deposit and savings bank In the same building with the American , but It will likely tide over the trouble. Thcro wcro runs on other banks , but the American has bcon the only ono to go under so far. The Birmingham car works failed this morning , thus adding to the general excite ment. Of the stock of the broken bank Sccretaiy of State James G. niaino held ? 50,000 worth and many other prominent easterners were Interested. I'lesldent II. P. Stimson was closeted nil day , but in the afternoon ho made a state ment in which ho practically accused the clearing house with being responsible for the failure. Ho savs that the clearing house met and offcieJ the bank aid before It hod asked for it , thus creating a strong feeling of Hstrust. In less than a week nearly ' . .000,000 of thu $5,000,000 deposits were withdrawn and , Siturdav thcro was another strong demand without any of 'the excite ment of a run. If the other banks of the city get over the present trouble thcio will bo goodcauso for thanks Tor the situation is at least alarming. The feeling of umcst Is widespread hero and Hdoesuot require much x > put affairs on edge. While the Kansas City bank failure occa sioned some comment In this city , it did not cause any urpriso In banking circles. The American National bank of Kansas City has never bcon regarded in n very favorable light by the Omaha banks , 'and ' from recent developments they were rather anticipating its suspension , The bank -ivns organized about four years ago , and from the vcrv Ilrst began to antuiioniia all t e old. mill Avcll CST tnbllshed institutions. They , however , met with phcnominal success and run tholr de posits up Into the millions , but by the aid of methods not generally considered consistent with sound banking principles. The de posits were laigoly made up of bankers' ac counts from such wpbt cm cities as Denver , Salt Lake. Portland , Tacomo , Helena , Spokane - kane and Seattle. The recent money strin gency caused western bankers to draw out their fundnnd this cut down the deposits at an alarming rate. At the time of the last bank statement- December 111 the deposits had dropped down to $3,1THD-U fiO. Slnco then they have fallen off rapidly , and it is De ported that nt the time of closing they had only about two millions. The fnlluro docs not lu the slightest manner affect anv of the Omaha banks , as they wore all fully aware of the true condition of the Kansas Ulty institution nnd were rather expecting its downfall Omaha bankers also express an opinion that other Kansas City banks have escaped unharmed , and that none of them will be in any way compromised by the fnlluro. The I'ronidoiit's Statement. KANSAS Cirr , Mo. , Jan. 19. President Stillson in n public statement says : "Tho cause of Iho'failure seems to have been the lack of conildcnco which has pervaded the business world for the past few months. A rumor gained currency three months ago that thq bank was not in the best condition. Withdrawal of deposits followed immedi ately , and with the growth of unfavorable reports Increased to an alarming oxtont. On October ! the hank's statement showed deposits - posits ofJ,200,000. . December 10 they fell off to $ . ' ,500,003 , nnd Saturday night when the clearing bouso committee made an investigation they aggro- gaoed only $1,400,000. The cash available at that tlmo was 100,000. The increase began with the stringency hi eastern monov mar kets nnd when the bank found itself obliged to negotiate n loan of $300,000 la the east it was compelled to give as collateral gilt-edged scent ittoa. When these drains upon the bunk's resources became generally known confldonco was impaired. The members of the clearing bouso tould not ncreo ' on any plan of assistance nnd the bank examiner was no tified by mo. The clearing , house mooting was tlrst called without our knowledge and other banks voluntarily offered assistance if needed. Unfortunately the mooting became public , causing increased rumors , which re sulted In n run Friday and Saturday , and wo applied to tbo clearing house for old , but they failed to ngrco on n plan of assistance nnd wo were obliccd to close , although In my opinion this ought never to have occurredas the bank has alw ays been solvent. Depositors will bo paid In full and if the assets uro properly handled the htockhnldcrs should got back a largo part of the original Investment.

In the sonnto today Mr. Gorman argued against the correctness of a ruling made by the vlco president Fri day to the effect that aa nimcal from his de cision was not debatable because the question Itself on which the decision was , made ( a mo tion to lay on the table ) was no a debatable one. one.Mr. Mr. Edmunds hold that the decision was absolutely right. The discussion \vsa kept up for some time , w hen Mr. Gorimn with drew the motion , It Is thought to bo some thing lu the nnturo of n Hunk movement against the closure matter. , The elections bill was taken up nnd Mr. Gcorgo spoleo.

Mr. Dolph said that the constitution was framed when Oregon was democratic nnd under the lend of Uenoral Joe Lano. It had not slnco been amended.

The intentions of , ho democrats In the house to resort to ob struction tactics until the termination of the senate on the elections bill wore manifested this morning when Mr. 151 ami demanded the readme of Saturday's proceedings hi full nstcad of in abbreviated form. Then Mr. Mills moved an amendment to , hu Journal relative to the refusal of the chair to reconsider the vote by which Friday's ' ournal was approved. Mr. Cannon Inquired whether It was in or der to move the previous question on the np- [ ) rou > l of the Journal. The speaker , after an examination of Mr. Mills' motion , recognized Mr. Cannon. Then came a chorus of democratic demands for the reading of the amendment , which was : "Which saia ruling of the speaker is disapproved by thohouso. " The speaker , regarding the amendment ns not proper , recognized Mr. Cannon's ' demand. Dn a standing vote the demand was rejected , but the republicans gathered strength and seconded the demand yeas , 13 ; niijs. 103. Thereupon Mr. Springer took the floor and ' for some tirno the h'ouso was entertained by n discussion which went on between himself and Speaker Heed. Mr. Springer said that lover before the Ilrst session of this congress tiad a motion to reconsider a privileged mo tion been denied by the presiding ofliccr. Ho referred to the remarks of the speaker in iddrcsscs mndo in Now York state during the last campaign about overturning the precedents of the last lOOyears. The \crdict of the American people had condemned the rulings of the speaker. Speaker Hce'd had road several decisions mndo by Speaker Handall , showing that the lulter refuses to entertain similar nppcals. Mr. McKlnloy took the lloor and said tunt nobodv could deny that the motion made by Mr. Mills was purely flilatory , and It was the duty of the chair to rcfuso to entertain the appeal. It was manifest to the country that for the last six weeks the whole effort of the democratic side had been to obstruct public business. The whole purpose of filibuster ing was tbat it should bo impossible if the scnuto should pass the elections bill to pass that bill through the bouio. Mr. Flower of New York retorted"Wo accept that issue nnd stand , upon it. " [ Dem ocratic applause ] . Alter further discussion the Journal was approved. The senate bill for the relief of Sarah E.
