Business Failures.

NICKSBURG, Nov. 21.-A notice ('|Ban1
closed; in hands Of assignee was posted
on the door of the Mississippi Valley Bank
this morning. The announcement fell like
a thunderclap from a clear sky on the
citizens generally, and caused deep feel
ing OF regret. The assignment was caused
by the failure of a. Il. Bonham & Co.. of
st: Louis, who have been dealing largely
in grain futures. Mr.. Klein, President of
the bank, had offers of large sums of
money from friends, but would not
accept them. He has large interests
in several steamboats,, the Vicksburg Gas
Company, j. j. Powers Oil Company,
and mercantile houses, besides being a
heavy land owner in this and other States.
He is also largely interested Al mining
stocks. He has made an assignment of
his entire property to George S. Irving.
Mr.. Klein says that depositors will be
fully protected and will lose nothing. The
assets and liabilities of the bank are not
definitely known.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.-NIichels,
Friedlander d Co., wholesale furnishing
goods dealers, of San Francisco and New
York, made an assignment to-day in favor
OF their creditors. The failure Is due to
heavy Endorsements for the firms of Hen
lein II Co. and 5. Lautenbach, of New
York, both of which recently failed. Their
liabilities are 100000, of which one-half
is New York Indebtedness. The firm saw
that their assets are $500, 900, and that
everyone will be paid in full. The firm

THE PRoTEUs INQUIRY.
Further Testimony in Regard to the
Disaster to the Expedition.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-In the Pro-
teus court Of inquiry to-day, Commander
Wildes being present 10 listen to a review
of his testimony, called attention to the
statement made by him day before yester-
day in substance that he did not know,
except by newspapers, in what direction
the Yantic was to sail until the receipt of
his orders, three days before his depart
ure. He asked leave to amend the state
ment. He SAID that he did not know that
his vessel was to go north of Uppernavk
until three days before sailing. The
amendment was made.
Lieut.. Commander Bowman II. Mccall
lah was called to the witness stand. He
testified to having made an inspection of
the Proteus ON the oath, 25th and 10Th of
May, the first and last visits being made
in company with Gen. HaZen. The wit
ness inspected all parts of the ship and
found them in excellent condition. He
conversed with Capt. Pike and with the
Chief Engineer of the vessel and found
them competent so far as he was able to
judge. He examined the cOmpasses and
boats and pronounced them good. He
so officially reported to Gen. Hazen. In
reply to inquiry he explained the details
of his inspection at considerable length,
and in conclusion said that if he
had had the selection he hould
have selected both the ship and
her Captain and Chief Engineer. He did
not know, however, that the Chief En-
gineer whom he saw was the one who ac-
cOmpanied the vessel.
Gen. Hazen was permitted to place on
record Lieutenant Greely's letter, written
on his northward journey in 1881. Com
manding Captain Pike of the Proteus, re-
ferring to Lieutenant COlwell's testimony
of yesterday regarding Captain Pixies in
experience in the arctic ice, Gen. Hazen
said that it might be inferred that these
sailing Captains were in the habit of
going into such ice. AS a matter of fact
it was only upon the most extraordinary
occasions that vessels Ventured in there
Captain Pike having been up there with
Lieutenant Greedy, had an advantage in
that respect over the great majority, who
had never been IN at all,

Woman at a Horse Sale.


burlington (Ttl Free Press.
''The women, bless their little hearts,"
said Mr.. Drew, Of the Van Ness House,
"the women can be just as sharp at
trade as the men. One winter / went up
to RichfOrd to buy a horse. | found it all
right, but all the time | was making a
trade with the man who owned it his wife
kept raising an awful fuss about selling
it at the figure | offered. If the horse was
sold, she said, how would the poor
children get to school, she would
like to know; they wouldn't have
the horse to carry them, and it
was too far to walk. Finally, however, we
made a trade, and hitched the horse into
a sleigh to drive home. | jumped into the
sleigh, but the horse wouldn't start. l
touched him with the whip, but he merely
turned around, and fixed a sad, inquiring
gaze upon me. | touched him again, with
the same result. Then hit him little
harder, and what do you think he did2
He jumped several feet in the air. l
thought | was going up in balloon.
And when he struck the ground he started
off at regular Maud 5. gait. The fact
was, you see, that horse had never been
hitched single before in his life. And
there was that woman taking on so about
selling him because the children would
have to walk to school! Oh, she was a

The Cobden CIub's Methods.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Thomas H.
DuOtey, the American Consul at Liver
pool during the war, delivered lecture
here this evening on the sys EN- of
American protection. In the course of
his remarks he said that the great agency
that England was now employing to ruin
the American protective system was the
Golden Club, one of the weathiest and
most influential organizations in the
world. This club disseminated free trade
literature in this country, and attempted
to interfere directly in elections. 1t has
awarded medals for free trade essays in
Harvard, Yale and Vassar colleges, and
the professors of political economy in
Yale and Williams colleges were both
members of the Golden Club. The lee
turer said that they were Prof. Sumner,
of \ ale, and Prof. Perry, of Williams. He
did not know that these professors were
paid by the Golden Club, but as lawyer
he did not himself feel disposed to work
for nothing, and supposed that they did
not.

How Gabe Bouck Was Tanned.
Washington Post.

NAofttftJtcft
Bouck underwent a queer transf0rma-
tion when he came to Washington to serve
in Congress. He had never worn a white
shirt or waistcOat before coming here.
His shirt was black flannel, with heavy
gold chain twisted down it's front. His
coat was a blue frOck, adorned with huge
brass buttons. His face was heavy and
swarthy. His nose turned up decided
pug, while his eyes were black and vi
ciously crossed. over n low forehead
hung mass Of uncombed, coarse black
hair. This eccentric lawyer a
man of ability, a sworn bach
elor and bowling hater
of women-came to the Ebbitt House,
and was seated at the table where sat
Congressman Mckinley and his wife.
Her bright, sunny, lady-lke ways sub
dued at once the man who had never
mentioned for fifty years woman's name
without an oath. Gradually Bouck be-
came transformed. He bought a white
shirt and waistcoat. He had his hair cut
and cOmbed. Finally he added the crown
ing stroke by having his boots blacked.
= He was while here the chiyalrous and de-
voted slave of the charming Mrs. McKin-
ley, who used to be called by her lady
friends 'Fthe bear tanner"

A story comes from England, via Chi
cago paper, that Miss Chamberlain, the
American beauty, has consented to marry
a son OF the Queens late flunkey, John
Brown, and that the old lady, Victoria l.,
is much delighted. Mr.. Browns full name
is Peter AlgernOn, age "a, and, when he is
safely married. he is to be knighted and
promoted. What Victoria will do to start
the young couple at housekeeping does
not yet appear. The yarn may be true,
but at this distance, remembering all that
has been said about Miss Chamberlain, it
would seem that only TO marry the son Of
a fiunkey instead of the son of an Earl, a
Duke, or that of Prime Minister, is not
quite up to expectation. However, it may
be happier marriage, after all, than if
she had become Countess, but we doubt
if my lords and gentlemea will look upon
it in that light.
