has been somewhat reduced , being slightly
below 1100.000.000. The not treasury bni-
anco is $11,750,000. Receipts cmitlnmi light

KANSAS CITT , Aug. 21. Henry Woolraan
attorney for Special Bank Examiner W. L.
Latlmcr , acting as agent of the First Na-
tlonul bunk of Marion , Kan. , commenced
garnishment proceedings today against
GeorpoGalbralth , special bank examiner in
charge of the National Bank of K.msus City ,
the National Bank of Commerce aud
the American National bank to obtain
securities deposited with these banks by 13.
M. Donaldson , president of the First Na
tional bank of Marlon , Kan. It Is charged
that Donaldson secured loans from the bank
of which ho was president for his personal
use without giving adequate security. Ho
has slnco disappeared , und the bank is shor
$23,013.
Last Tuesday Examiner Latimersuspect-
Ing the condition of the First National b.ink ,
made iv trip to Marlon to Investlgats
matters. Hearing of Mr. Latlmcr's arrival ,
Donaldson departed and has hot been seen
since. The examiner closed the bank nnd
has now filed the attachment hero In the
hope of protecting it.
It is not known what bus become of
Domildson.'but Mr. Latimer has good rea
sons to believe he Is in Mexico. Last Do-
ember Donaldson opened an ofllco hero pur-
orting to represent the Union Trust coin-
any of Sioux City. Ho did not appear to do
luch business however , und closed his ofllco
u June.
Was ii 'Wholesalo Swindler.
James Doughty of Sioux City arrived in
ho city today , and after n conference with
Vttornoy Woolman nnd Bank Examiner
Balmier ho swore out a warrant for Donald *
on's arrest , alleging embezzlement , misap-
iroprintion and forgery. The facts told by
Mr. Doughty make Donaldson's embezzle
ment from the Marlon bank appear simply
is a drop In tha bucket compared with the
ix-bankcr's transactions in Iowa.
Donaldson , in 1830 , besides owning a ran-
ority of the stock of the First National
lank of Marion , Kan. , controlled two state
Kinks. His transactions through them wcro
not successful , and in 18SO-67. when the Kan-
, as real estate boom dropped , he closed out
jho two small bunks und , securing consider
able money from his Marion bunk , started tbo
Jnlon Trust company at Sioux City , In. As
Icedcrs for the Union Trust company , ho
established a chain of banks lu lowu , cloven
n number. His ventures , however , did not
levclop according to his expectations aud
'roui subsequent events It became apparent
that ho determined to realize whut cash ho
could and leave the country. Accordingly ,
ast winter ho opened a branch olll < 'o hero of
the Union Trust company of Sioux City ,
taking charge of it himself , and disposed of
a large amount of securities and assets of
" : iis Iowa concerns.
Ciirrlcil Down All It * llranchei.
The Union Trust compuny wus among the
first financial institutions to go under when
the financial dillicultics began last spring.
With it went down the eleven Iowa banks
is follows : First National bank , Ida Grove ;
First National bank , Holstciu ; Sloan State
Dank , Sloan ; .Danbury State bunk , Danbury ;
First Ute State bank , Ute ; WoocJyiuo Sav-
.ngs bank ; WoodbineCushingSavingsbank ; ,
Jushinp ; Custaua Savings bank , Custuna ;
Sehutlor Savings bunk , Schutlor ; Aurclia
Savings bank , Aurclia ; Bunk of Module ,
Module.
The crash of thcso institutions sen Don
aldson Inlo retirement at Marion , where ho
scl-ins to have continued his tactics of rais
ing all the ready cash possible upon his as
sets. Then came the failure of the Marion
bank. Immediately the bunk oxumincr
made his appearance In Marion , Donaldson
disappeared and with him S'J3,000 of the
bank's money.
Mr. Doughty of Sioux City , who was intor-
eslod in the Union Trust company , says the
examination of that company's affairs und of
thu affairs of the cloven lowu banks shows u
deficit of at least SGOO.OOO. Donaldson is
charged with having got away with the
money. During the disposal of securities
hero Donaldson sold paper to nearly all the
city bunks , but thu bulk of bis transactions
wcro with Nuw England bunkers.

TxniANAi'OMS , Aug. 21. This afternoon
Theodora P. Haughoy , president of the
Indianapolis National bunk , was arrested nt
his homo near this city on a warrant sworn
out by Receiver Hawkins , charging him
with embezzlement and mlsnppllcatfon of
funds and credits of the banK from January
1 , 16U2 , to July 2-1 , 1S03. Simultaneously
with his arrest thu fodcr.il oDlcors arrested
his sun , Schuylcr C. Hamrhoy , president of
the Indianapolis Curled-Hair works and the
Indianapolis Glue works : A. Coflln , presi
dent of the Indianapolis Cabinet company ;
Pcrclvul Coflln , vlco president of the com
pany , und Albert T. Reed , treasurer of the
sumo concern. Young Haughoy , thu Collln's
und Rued are churgcd with having allied
and abetted the elder Huughoy lu embezzle
ment.
The arrests wcra made at the Instance of
United States District Attorney Frank
Burke , who returned this morning from
Washington , where ho wus In consultation
with the attorney general und Comptroller
Eckels. The arrested men were talton be
fore United States Commissioner Van
Burun , Theodore P. Haughoy was hold In
bonds of $10,000 , and the others In bonds of
{ 5,000 each. All furnished bond and were
released , They will bu given preliminary
examination a week hence.
The Indianapolis National b.ink closed its
doors on July 25 and gave us Its reasons , for
what It claimed to bu u temporary suspen
sion , the stringency in tha money market. It
soon became evident to the bank examiner
placed in uhargu that thu bank him ueon
looted nnd a receiver was appointed. It
developed the bank hud loaned its money In
a reckless und criminal manner , $100,000
having been loaned to Purclval and Francis
Cutlln of tnu Cabinet company and almost as
much to Schuylcr Haughoy. These enor
mous amounts wore loaned In sums of ? 30- ,
000 and notes were given for them by vari
ous , and. In some instances , unknown
individuals. Thu Collins secured their loans
by forming branches of their Indianapolis
establishment and for each branch a loan of
430,000 wus obtained. Each of the Collins
borrowed a Ilka amount in his own
name. Young Huughey secured $30,000
in tha name of the Indianapolis
Curled Hair works and thoilndianapolis Glue
works respectively , und llko sums each in
his own iiamu and tha name of hla foreman
and servant ! , and in one Instance the note
was signed by an unknown Chicago llrm.
One o ( thu notes bore simply the surname of
the muKur aud was unsecured. Thu bunk's
capital wus $300,000. Reed Is supposed to
have been used merely us a stool pigeon and
la not morally iruilty.

"Mr. Van Lcuven has for years done a

i result of a preliminary investigation into
he methods of this nmur ho was suspended

lot bo Judicious to enterinto details at this
time as to the facts .brought to light in tha
irulitninurv investigation , I will say that I
was shown for years that ho supported the
claims which ho.lias prosecuted by a highly
lavclopcd and successful system of dls-
'loncst practices. ' At .tho lime of his sus

plain that ' every 'claim filed and prosecuted
oy him bc'cumo an object of suspicion. Ac
cordingly , all his cases which could bo at
once identified in the flics of the bureau
were drawn and , examined. Nearly 500 of
these have been sent to Special Examiner
Wuito ut Minneapolis for investigation. In
such as seemed to rest wholly upon evidence
prepared by Van Louven somewhat more
than 200 in all suspension of payment was I
ordered pending the necessary inquiry.
"This wus in accordance with the uniform
practice ot the bureau for many years , and
is singular in this instance only by reason of
the fact that the majority of the suspended
pensions were drawn lu a few adjacent
counties. '
Special Examiner Waite has been for
so\ oral weeks engaged upon these cases. In
some instances it bus been found practicable
to rescind the order of suspension in advance
of the investigation. In such cases there
bus been but a brief withholding of the pen
sion. Doubtless there uro some cases in
which the temporary loss of the pension
works hardships to worthy men. but no
pains will bo spared to ascertain such cases
and make thu period of suspension us briuf
as possible. It is not charged or believed j
that In each suspended case the pensioner
himself has boon guilty of misconduct. It
was Van Lcuvon's practice to take the pros
ecution of his cases qutto often out of the
bunds of the applicant , and thus it often
happened honest claims lu his charge were
secured by dishonest means.
Four Speqlul I2i'.iintnorii at Work.
"Four special examiners are now engaged
on thu Van Lou ven cases In lowu nnd Min
nesota nnd the work will bo curried with
the greatest dispatch. The oxpttrto evidence
upon which each case is allowed will bo
fairly tested nnd if found Honest payment
will at once bo resumed.
Special Exuinlncr Waite has been de

way ho Is said to have obtained evidence

has been In Jail hero several days , charged
with the Pollack diamond robbery in this
county last November , made his appearance
before G. W. Wilson , justice of the peace ,
for preliminary examination nt 2 o'clock this

importance is evidenced by the character
and number of noted men in attendance
Interested therein , conspicuous among whom
are : William A. Plnkerton , chief of the
dotccttvo bureau ; Allan Plnkerton of Brook
lyn , N. Y. , nnd Mr. Frazcr , resident opera

The prosecuting witness , W. G. Pollack ,
from whom the diamonds were stolen , and
Conductor Ash moro , upon whoso train the
robbery/ occurred , are also conspicuous among
the witnesses.
I'ollnclc on thn Stand.
Mr. Pollack was the Ilrst witness placed
upon the stand , and Idcntillcd the prisoner
beyond the possibility of a doubt as thu man
by whom ho Was assaulted and robbed. Ho
was also Idcntillcd positively by Conductor
Ashmoro and J. II. Shaw of Omaha aMbohig
on the train on which thu robbery took
place , so that the matter of identification is
established beyond a doubt.
The defense waived further examination ,
and the prisoner was hold in bonds of $0.000
and returned to Jail to await the term of
court which convenes hero pn the 33th inst.
for trial. The court house was crowded

William A. Pinkcrlon of Chicago and 'ills
cphow , Allan Plnkerton of Brooklyn , rcgis-
, crcd at the Paxton last evening. They
vcro on their return from Logan , la. , where
"Kid" McCoy was given a preliminary hear-
ng for assault ana robbery of W. G. Pollack ,
.ho . Nuw York diamond broker , last fall.
Mr. Pollack was with the gentlemen.
Mr. William Piukerton granted an intor-
dew and told of the capture of the daring
hicf. Ho was much pleased with thu sue-
: css in so completely establishing the
: dentity of the criminal and says that con
viction is certain. In speaking of the case
'no said :
"Tho fellow is a desperate criminal and is
jest known by the name of James Burke.
He has served several terms in the peniten
tiaries and bud been released less than three
months when ho assaulted and robbed I'ol-
ack. His identity WLJ established at the
reliminary hearing today. PollaclrpoEi-
tivcly Identified him as the fellow who was
resent when ho displayed his stock of
diamonds to a customer and in the evening
saw him at the depot andsaw ; him .board
the train. He was also positive that ho was
the one \yho so "viciously assaulted him and
comiiiHteu The tobber.v. Conductor 'Ash-
more identified him as did ono or two others
who wcra on the train. Burke introduced
no testimony and ho was bound over to the
district court.
Burke claims to bo but 23 years of age ,
and yet I am curtain that ho is 2S. Ho is
ono of those who do not show ago and easily
deceive a poison by their looks. From in
vestigation wo found that ho served a term
n Colorado , and I am told that no also did
time at Jollct. This I will look up and will
fully establish bis record. "
Mr. Pinkerton was asked if ho know of n
party named Hooker , and whether ho had
"icard that Hooker had been in Omaha for
two or three days seeking to secure wit
nesses to prove an alibi for Burko. Ho said :
How MaCoy Was Located.
"Yes , I am aware that Hooker was here ,
nnd that was his object. Ho was over to
Logan today and on the return trip left the
train at Missouri Valley. Ho has been well
t-ilicd and his movements while here uro
known. Ho is a friend of Burkc's and it
was through him that Burke was captured.
Hooker is inclined to bo a blowhard and is
known as "Windy" Hooker. Previous to
ono of my trips weit I received a letter
from an ex-dctcctivo named Bruce
Johnson of Salt Lake , who inquired
what would be paid for disclosures
that would lead to'the arrest of the person
who robbed Pollack. I replied that the offer
mmlo through the Omaha press was still
good. An answer came telling that
Hooker had offered to furnish the desired
information. I replied that I would bo in
Salt Luke on n certain date nnd that ( looker
could disclose the facts to mo. When I ur
rived In Salt Lake I found that a very par
ticular friend of Hooker's was confined In
the pen In the territory. Hooker had con
lidcd this to the dotoctiva and said that the
man who committed the deed hud recently
called upon this convict. Ho also told the
detective that the follow was a Canadian
crook. J know that Hooker was not telling the
truth und felt that ho was simply tryinu to
got us on a false scent. I visited the peni
tentiary nnd found the convict was there
and that he was a friend of Hooker's
Further Investigation und the records
showed that the convict had been visited by
ono James Burke , nnd that the two were
friends. This furnished the clew and it was
followed up and with success , A search for
Burke was instituted and ho was located in
Denver at Hooker's house. Ho then wont
up to the place where he was arrested fo
the purpose of committing the robbery.
'Wo have not yet recovered any of tin
Pollack diamonds , but huvo great hoped. "
Mr. Plnkorton will remain in the city i
couple of days. Ho did not suy v/'nat would
keep him here , but It is evidently importan
business ,

There Is no political excitement in any part
of the country.
The diplomatic world of Europe Is anxious
over the aspect which the relations between
Franco and Italy have assumed by reason of
the Algues-Mortes incident. The truth
about the trouble which occurred the other
day In the llttlo town of southern Franco
between French mid Italian workmen Is that
the latter wcro working for lower wages
than the French. On Wednesday last a
riot broke out and the Italians killed
four French workmen. On the fol
lowing day a second light took nlaco In
which the French workmen killed eight
Italians. The result of tbeso events was
that there was a great deal of excitement In
Italy and last evening a manifestation was
made against the French by mobs In Koino
and other Italian cities. In Homo the win-
( lows of the French embassy were broken.
In Genoa a French Hag was pulled down.
The entire Italian press is furiously angry
with Franco and the German press Is re
peating the ory. So far tlio governments of
Franco and Italy hnvo kept silent , but It is
easy to ioresco that on the questions which
will arise when a demand for apologies for tlio
insult offered to Franco is matte , some very
serious complications will arise.

LONDON , Aug. 21. Mr. Gladstone moved
the adoption of the resolution , notice of
which was given Friday , to apply the closure
rule to the homo rule bill on Friday next.
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain , the unionist leader ,
then submitted his ntnundmcutdcclaring the
government proposal was calculated to de-
grudo tlio house Into a voting machine , de
priving the British majority of Its constitu
tional rights and ou. ht to bo withdrawn.
In speaking to his amendment Mr. Cham
berlain suld ho could not recognize the neces
sity of passing the home rule bill at one ses
sion. The real necessity for pushing the
bill through was that the government did
not dare to stand on ono measure ,
the only chance of the adoption ol
which , if any such chance existed , had
boon destroyed by the government's alterna
tion of the llfth clause of the financial ar
rangements. If the govern merit went to
tho'country tomorrow , Mr. Chamberlain
added , it would meet with crushing defeat.
Knowing this from Its own agents it wanted
the bill hustled out of I he way in order to
patch Its reputation with other measures.

the managers of the strike suddenly dis
covered an article In the agreement which

Art , 3. Any employe feeling nitftrlcved In

ter In a manner satisfactory to tlio employe It
may bo rofurred to tlio superintendent , "If

The managers of the striico claim that
they understood the Santa Fo's proposition
was to the olTcot that a pit committee waste
to bo appointed lo which such matters
should bo referred. Another clause unsat
isfactory to the miners is that providing fern
n monthly pay day , whereas they demanded
a weekly pay day. Nevertheless some NX )
miners signed the agreement and wont to
work.
