ATLANTA, GA, April 13.-There is great
excitement here in the streets. The Citi-
zens' Bank, the State depository. has closed
its doors and made an assignment to L. j.
Hill, of the Gate City Bank, and W. s.
Thompson, a lawyer. 1t has been
shaky for some time, and is probably a
bad failure. 1t IS too early yet to get par
ticulars. w. H. Patterson, the Cashier, was
Chairman of the City Finance Committee
In 1879. and is a member of the Finance
Committee of the present Legislature. The
loss OF the State is not yet announced.
LATER.-The failure of the Citizens Bank
is serious. The State had on deposit $103,-
600. the city Of Atlanta SAG, 900, and the
Western aud Atlantic Railroad $4,000
Many citizens have heavy deposits, and
some poor people have lost all. The State,
If preferred creditor, is the safest for any
return.
No good cause has yet been assigned for
the failure, nor has any statement of the
condition of the bank been made public.
Treasurer Speer drew on the bank for
eight hundred dollars yesterday, but his
check was returned unpaid this morning,
and the bank closed its doors.
A still later account says the liabilities are
about 5000, 900 aud it is thought there are
assets enough to cover this amount.

THE PRESSURE RELIEVED.
Discreet Course of the Porte ON the
TunIs TrOuble-Pacific Views of a
Leading Italian JOurnaI-The Bey
Coming to HIS Senses.

LONDON, April 13.-A Constantinople dis
patch says /: F'The Porte has addressed q
circular to the powers expressing the hope
that the measures taken by France in Africa
will be limited to the defense of her own
frontiers, and declaring that the Bey will re
establish order and prevent renewal Of the
incursions of the tribes''
ROME, April 13-The Bpolo Romano. re-
plying to warlike article in the Paris
Li6erte says: "We believe we express the al
most unanimous feeling of the Italian peo-
pie in declaring that at no previous period
nor at the present time had or has Italy the
slightest intention of making war upon
France, with whom she has always desired,
and still desires, to maintain the most
cordial relations. We are convinced
that the present event in Tunis will not
trouble these good relations as, France and
Italy will doubtless find some solution to
the existing difficulties alike honorable to,
and worthy of, the two nations"
LONDON, April 13.-The Paris cores
pendent of the Manchester Guardian says:
"The latest dispatches from Tunis represent
that q great change has taken place
in the Bey's disposition towards France.
He seems now disposed to
co operate with the French against the
kronmlres. This is believed to be the result
of the withdrawal of Italian support. II
so, the expedition loses much Of its gravity"
PARIS, April 13-M. Roustan, the French
Consul General at Tunis, while reassuring
the Bey that it is not the intention OF France
to dethrone him and occupy the coun-
try, Insisted upon settlement of
pending difficulties, and invited
the BeY to give guarantees for the execution
OF the existing conventions between France
and Tunis, so that the interests OF neither
might lie at the mercy of ministerial ca
price or foreign influence.
CONsTANTINoPLE, April 13-The Porte,
replying to the appeal of the Bey of Tunis
for its protection, has advised him to re-
store order on the frontier and thereby re-
move any pretext for French action. Should
the necessity arise, the Porte would feel
bound to protect its rights as Suzerain OF

Mr.. Hill answered you fully. 1t will

Mr. Mahone-As the Senator fails here to

menacing tone) "You can solve that, sir,
If you choose; that is all that have to say
to you now"
Mr. Hill rose to reply, but Mr.. Malone,
continuing his remarks, said: "You can
solve that question for yourself whether you
intended to convey that meaning or not"
A great deal of applause in the galleries,
which the presiding officer, Mr.. Kellogg,
endeavored to repress.
Mr.. Hill (studiously emphasizing every
point and expression Mr.. President, l

take. This ended the discussion
for the day, which was followed with in
terest by the large audience in the galleries.
A motion made by Mr.. Farley to go into

RUSSIAN MATTERS.
The Tekke-Turcoman Subdued-
How the London "DaiIy News''
Views SkObelOh,s Eastward March

LONDON, April 13.-In connection with
the failure of Prefect Baranoff's measure
proposed to the Council Of twenty-five,
that passengers at railway stations be
examined, a dispatch from st. Petersburg
states that General Heintz, Prefect of
Odessa, will probably replace him.
An official telegram from Gen. Skobeloff
says: "The leader of the Tekkes, with a
number of Imperial Sirdars, arrived at Skabs
on the 9th inst. to make their submission.
The country is now quiet. Not shot has
been fred since January 24sh." Gen. sko-
beloff concludes by saying: "With the sub
mission of these chiefs the expedition
against the TekBe-Turcomans ends"
The Daily NeaoS, in its leader referring to
the 81. Petersburg dispatch announcing
that General Skobeloff has retraced his
steps eastward, adds: "It would be an
European misfortune, and little short of
calamity to England and Russia, If the old
suspicious and jealousies were renewed.
This unfortunate revival cannot be avoid
ed, unless some explanations be promptly
given Of General Skobeloff's recent move
ments. 1t is just possible that General
Skobelotf's journey eastward may be diplo-
matte rather than military"

Persecuted and was Compelled TO
Take the Course He Did.

Beaumont B. Buck, cadet at West Point

son, Buck and Thompson. The prosecution
proved the facts of the shooting as already
known. The defense claimed that Buck
had been subjected to all sorts OF indigni-
ties and insults from the moment of his
arrival at the school, Thompson being
the leading spirit. That Buck was gentle,
civil and inoffensive, and sought to avoid
trouble. That he had left the school and
gone to board at private house to get out
of the way of his tormentors, and that the
indignities were pushed TO such extent as to
become unbearable, and caused Buck to be
seriously apprehensive for his personal
safety.
The defense claimed, and Buck testified,
that Thompson was the sggressor on the
morning Of the shooting, and was actually
menacing Buck at the time Of the affray.
Counsel for the defense presented testimo-
malls OF good character in favor of Buck from
clergymen, teachers and other residents of
Dallas county, Texas. The case was summed
up for the defense this afternoon by Chas
ID. Winfield, of New York, and for the
prosecution this evening bv ex-Judge
Stephen w. Fullerton. of New York.

to the court room after being out an hour
and ten minutes, and returned a verdict of
acquittal. The announcement was received
with loud applause and cheers, and on the
adjournment of the court, Buck received
many congratulations, including those
of the jury and ladies. One of the
latter affectionately embraced the Texan.

The suez canal is changing the climate

The Suez canal is changing the climate
of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.
Alden, which is at the mouth of the sea,
enjoyed the other day regular rain
storm, the first that has occurred there in
thirty-two centuries. Showers fall in
Alden, on the average, once in three
years, but they are puny, sickly affairs.
The late storm flooded the country and
frightened the natives, who had never
seen genuine rain before, out of their
wits. Ever since the Suez canal has
been dug the climate of Western Arabia
has been modifying, and rains have be-
come more and more frequent, due to a
change of currents and winds.
