SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. q.
The affairs of the Pioneer Bank
prove more disastrous to deposilors
AS investigation progresses than nj
first supposed. In the opinion of the
receiver, p. j. White, it will not pay
five cents on the dollar Of its indebt-
edness. The only assets in sight of
any amount is a possible margin On
1850 lots in the Haley and O'Neil tract,
South San Francisco, mortgaged Tor
Sl3, 900, OF which Duncan contracted
to pay one and one half per cent. per
month interest. Real estate experts
are OF the opinion that there is a mar
gin OF SIS. 900 to $50, 900 on this prop
erty. The income from the rents OF
the entire m~ortgaged property does
not meet the monthly accruing inter
est by about $500. The only income
from the mortgaged property which
exceeds the interest Is the building on
the southwest corner OF Montgomery
and Clay streets. White IL in receipt
Of letters from depo>itors residing IN
all sections of this State, Oregon, Phil
adelpbia, Buffalo. several towns in
Ohio and other Western States, max
ing inquiries a. to the probabilities
of getting their money. IL Is evident
that Duncan flooded the country with
seductive circulars TO catch the m
wary with large interest. The liabili-
ties of the institution are not definitely
known. New debts are turning up
every day. amounting to thousands
of dollars. IL is evident that the Pio-
reel heads the long list Of rotten Cali
fornia banks which have gone under.

Gle is completed by General Gourko's
cavalry, which ran cut OF all supplies;
but the Russians are every day re
ceiving reinforcemeDts and there is
every appearance that they intend tn
surround Plevns by a series Of works,
as the Germans did Paris. The Rus
SLAMS will soon have troops enough to
complete the infantry investment.
The correspondent thinks there Is
every easo to believe that Plevna is
not victusled sufficiently to stand a
siege until spring, and that Osman
Pssha will attempt, probably sucess.
FULLY. to fight his way out. The CORE
-pondeDt concludes: 81 must say
that the question of a second campaign
is resoluIely faced, and the prospect

GRAHr AND THE FRENCH PRESS.

0RANT AND THE FRENCH PRESS.
There Is no denying that General
Grant has . very level head. No man
knows better when not to talk than he.
During oil OF the years OF his public
service OF home he seldom allowed q
word to escape him on any political
topic. but the moment he crossed the
Atlantic he was ready to express his
thoughts on all proper occasions.
Many OF his speeches, too, will COM
pare favorabiy with the most gifted
ststesmen Of the age. He has been So
jourDing In Paris for some days, and
the telegraph tells us he has been re-
peatedly urged by representatives Of
the Partisan press to give his views on
French politics. But the political sit
uation in France Is very critical just at
this time, and Grant knows we'll
enough that he could not take sides
without calling forth . torrent OF adj
verse criticism. Hence, with that rare
good judgment which has always char
scterized his course In this regard, he
prudsntly keeps mum. Say what
they may about Grant, he is literally
endowed with strong, lard sense,
which prevents him from gushing
when moi strictly In order.

Do you not hold secret counsel in your own

carry out their decision2 BY your works you
