Rank Examiner Griffiths was found inside the American National bank directing the work of making out a complete statement of its affairs. Ho said : "I believe this is an honest failure. To put It briefly the Amer ican National was forced to suspend in anticipation of a disastrous run as a result of the failure of the McCairuo Savings yesterday , People generally bo Hove there Is a connection between thcso two banks because the McCagucs are inter- c'slcd in both institutions , but J. L. McCaguo has Informed mo that the affairs of each bank are entirely separate and independent of each other , and that the Savings bank lias some reserve deposits in the National. "Tho olficials of the latter bank held a meeting just after the failure of the Savings bank and decided to request assistance from the clearing honso officials. The clearing liouso people called a special meeting and re fused to grant the request , and the olllcials of this bank concluded that suspension was inevitable and turned their business over to mo. "I liavo great confidence in Cashier Henry Wyman , and think the affairs of the bank are In fairly good condition. There Is over MO.OOO .

The following statement has been an- dress by the McCaguo Uros. to their friends and patrons : To Our Multitude of Friends and Many Patrons : HUdno that wo make a brief state ment. Thu calamities that have during the past twenty-four hours overtaken the Institu tion that have been under our inanaKenffnt U the natural result of the hunt continued Htrlnguiicy In the money market and the quiet withdrawal of the deposits for actual use by our many patrons. The shrinkage of deposits diirlmt the patt sixty days h IH been unusual and unexpected.

A crowd of depositors was at the doors of the Omaha Savings bank before the hour for opening arrived yesterday , and it was evi dent that a run was to bo made. The officers of the bank realized this fact , and were prepared for it. When the doors were thrown open there was a rush for the paying teller's window , and the room was quickly filled. It was an excited and unreasonable crowd , and they pushed and hauled and shoved ono another in their anx iety to bo the first to withdraw their de posit. The officers nnd directors of the bank were on baud and their presence and words of as surance went a long way toward quelling the fears of the panicky-stricken mortals on the outside. Senator Manderson , who is the president of the bank , was at his deslc. Ho assured the crowd that each depositor should receive his money as rapidly as the teller could hand It out. Ho said the bank was prepared to meet every obligation and had tlio money on hand to do it with. The directors arid stock holders were present and were ready to sign personal guarantees that the deposit of anyone ono would bo paid. Every dollar ho possessed in the world was behind the bank , as were the personal belongings of the other stockholders. The words of the senator were applauded and considerably allayed the fears of many. The moro heavy depositors contented themselves with accepting the personal guaranty of some stockholder , and per mitted their money to remain la the handset ot the bank. Senator Manderson signed many , as did Lewis M. Bennett , the vice president , an ! John 13. Wilbur , the cashien and Thomas L. Kimball , Henry Pundt and Truman Uuck. The deposits for the most part that were withdrawn were of the smaller amounts. Bound ni n Itook , Cashier Wilbur said that the bank was In condition to withstand the run and was as sound as a rock. livery stockholder was prepared to guarantee the payment of every deposit , and If that was not satisfactory the money was in the bank and would bo paid out on demand. Ho said ho had signed a number of guaranties und if ho did not know that the bank was sound ho would not have done so. The sixty-day proviso of the state banking law was not being taken advantage of , and tlio deposits would be paid as rapidly as there was a demand. Mr. Wilbur said that these withdrawing their money were the smaller depositors , who were unacquainted with buslncs.i ideas , and nothing but money would satisfy them in such a caso. The larger depositors had been reassured and were leaving their money. Yesterday the management of the Grant Smelting company gave notice to their hundreds of employes that any of thorn hav ing deposits in the Omaha Savings bank could send their deposit books to the office nnd that the company would guarantee the payment of the amount ot each ono. This evidence of confidence In the stability of the concern reassured the smelter employes and they remained at their work , and but a very small number visited the bank to withdraw their deposits. The people continued to stream Into the bank during the forenoon and the number remained about the same during tlio entire time. At the noon hour the crowd was greatly augmented by laboring men , many ol whom were undoubtedly attracted simply out of curiosity. When the crush was at its i ; height Senator Manderson pushed his way to the front door and after considerable dim- ds culty mounted a box. vVhcn ho began to dn speait the paying tellers ceased work and tlio crowd left the bank and cro\vdcd about n the senator , n number of ladles being lu s the front ranks , II llnw tliu Hank Duna Itnsine Senator Manderson reviewed briefly the history of the bank and told of tin run some years ago which il so sue t cc-ssfully withstood , the rush to redo 1posit being as gre.it as was the rush to draw n out. He said that In the bank's fourteen years It had novnr lost a dollar au almosi , - I unprecedented thing In the history of i o bank.

CHICAGO , Juno S. [ Special Telegram to TUB Hnu.j Great Interest is felt in army circles and particularly by officers stationed In the city , over the proposed restoration of the army divisions. The plan proposed looks to the separation of the country into two great divisions the headquarters of one being In Now York and these of the other In Chicago. The Mississippi would not ncccs sarlly bo the dividing line for it is argued that the ranklnggeneral whoso headquarters would probably bo as now , lu the cast would have too small a command. Nothing in army orders In late years cre ated moro talk than the abolition of the di visions two years ago. Chicago , from being the headquarters of four great departments , became the reporting place for posts of only ono geographical division the Department of Missouri. The change closely followed the Sioux campaign of 1SU1 , and army ofll- ccrs were not slow to say that two major generals had their commands curtailed on account of personal reasons. The opinion was held as largely in civilian circles as well. 13ut now comes the talk of"the restoration of the old order of things upon a scale that will increase the authority of the very generals whoso power was largely cut oft two years ago. General Kcliolleld's Dolro > . General Schodeld was charged with in- llucncing the authorities to abolish the divisions , though later the secretary relieved him from the burden and took upon himself the responsibility of the recommendations that Ion tothcehango. GeneralSchofleld will retire in 189.1 by the action of the compulsory retirement law. Generals Sher man and Sheridan who preceded him as heads of the army were made I icutcnant generals by special acts of congress , the rank ceasing with tholr deaths. General Schofleld is credited with wishing the rank restored so that ho may retire with the high honor that was given Sherman and Sheridan. Friends of General Schofleld said that the doing away with the army divisions could not have boon his work , for by their aboli tion the only logical reason outside of his good record for making him a lieutenant general were put away. When the divisions were abolished major generals were superior to brigadiers only in name- and pay , and the service becoming in reality only a lot of de partments commanded by brigadier generals , there could bo no reason for raising the rank of a man who commanded the whole above that of major general. With the restoration of the divisions and the making of difference in rank between major generals and brigadier general's moro marked. It will be urged that the head of all should bear the yet higher rank which Sher man and Sheridan graced. What thu Clinngo Means. If Chicago aeain becomes divisional head quarters , the departments of the Missouri , the Platte , Dakota , the Columbia , Arizona and California will all report directly to Chicago cage , instead of to headquarters at Wash ington , as at prc.sent. Tlio Department of Texas was not included in the above list be cause it may bo turned over to the Division of the East to more nearly balance the com mands. General O. O. Howard will retire in the fall of 18'Jl , one year before General Schollcld's time is up. Howard will there fore never command the army unless death , resignation or a court martial removes Gen eral Schollcld within fourteen months. Upon General Howard's retirement General Miles will probably go to Now York. The major general appointed to the va cancy made by General Howard's retire ment will doubtless bo General T. H. Rugor , now the ranking brigadier general of the army. Ho will take command fri Chicago , but will not hold his now honors long , for his retirement will bo forced soon by the ago limit and General Wesley Morritt will como to the city to succeed him. U is barely possible that congress may upset all Junior generals' plans by exempting General Swhollold from the action of the compulsory rotlromenUaw. General Slier- mau was thus exempted , but ho refused to take advantage of the provision aud retired when 04 years old. KISISTII > AituiT.

[ Special Telegram to THE Htic. ] Kulalla of Spain has discovered that there are two Palmer families in "our sot. " There Is trouble not only at the Palmer House , but at the Palmer homo as a result. It Is whispered that when the Spanish princess consented to accept the hospitali ties of the magnlHccnt mansion at 100 L.ako- shore drive , she did so under the Impression that It was Mrs. T. W. Palmer who waste to bo her hostess , and not until after the invitations had been put about did she discover that the house she was going to and the tavern which she was going from were both under the same management. It was the afternoon ' of the reception day when the horrible dis covery was made that a daughter of Charlo- mango and a Uourbon of Spain had been asked to drop around and visit people who kept an inn. The infanta declared flatly , rumor has It , that she would not go. Commander Davis went out of ono spasm Into another. The Infante Antonio took up a trco. The duke of Tomalcs wept. llnw Slio Hot Uven. Still the Infanta would not yield. She was prepared to do anything In reason , she said , but she drew the line at Innkeepers.

She got back her royal hand and carried It into the house herself , mail clean through. l''or the rest of the evening she coppered every play that Chicago society mado. She came late , and made up for it by going away early. She was there long enough , however , to tread on every corn in sight. She was not enthusiastic over the people she met , and she modillod their enthusiasm as far as it could bo done without the actual use of a club. litilalia swore a solemn Spanish "IIopc-I- may-dio" that Chicago society should never get its clamps on her ap'in. She said that enough was as good as a feast. She has kept her word , and Chicago knows the infanta no more. * But the little lady Is having a very good Spanish-American time of it nevertheless. Given 1111 American Itoust. The Tribune will tomorrow publish an editorial peed by to the infanta that is a severe castigation of Spanish royalty. The editorial is double-leaded , and is probably inspired moro by the Palmer episode than any other ono tnuig. It begins : After a brief but not altogether satisfactory visit to Chicago , I'rlnccis Kulalla and bur snlto will take leave of the city todur. It cannot bo atllrmcd thai Chicago ha : ; not done Its whole duty In entertaining thu Spanish Infanta , or that It bus not donu It graciously , lavishly and enthusiastically. Whether the game has been worth the candle , however. Is an open question. Tboso upon whom thn duty of entertaining SpanUh roy ally has devolved cannot lie blamed If they foci that they have wasted bothtlmo and olfort and that tlii'Ir endeavors to extend llttlng courtesy and extraordinary honor huvo been souils Hung away on barren ground. Hoyalty at bust Is a troublesome customer for re publicans to dual with , and royalty of the Spanish sort Is the most troublesome of all. The editorial , continuing at length , refers to the "insuperable chasm between the effete - fete monarchist ! ! of Spain and the fresher civilization of the now world , " aim says : Aillos , anil Good Inek to Von.

It was tholr custom to como late and leave early , leaving behind them the general regret that tliuy hud not come still later and K < "IU away Ktlll earlier , or , better still perhaps , that they had not como at all. The Infanta on one oc casion brouKlit a bad temper with lior , and vented It upon those who had been Invited to meet her. Nothing had transpired to provoke this dUplay of temper , nor was there anything of a nature to keep It alive. The editorial concludes : In saying goodby to I'rlnccss Kulalla , Chicago cage cherishes no resentment. It bids her ( Jodspecd , and bonds uood wishes after her and hern , and Is sorry.

The Farmers' Rovlow has received from correspondents In cloven states reports regarding the condition of winter wheat. The Review tomorrow , In a summary , will say : The condition of winter wheat has Ira- proved greatly in the last few days but will fall far short of n good crop. In Illinois the improvement is very noticeable , but so much of the area of wheat has boon de stroyed that some Hcctlons tvlll got Httlo bcnotlt from the improvement. Some cor respondents report that nine-tenths of the wheat acreage In their localities has been abandoned. The Improvement 1ms cotUm- ued In Indiana and Ohio. In the latter Htato the outlook is good.
