Boston, April 12.-Wm. A. Paine, Sec
rotary Of the committee of shareholders
of the Pacific Bank said this afternoon
that on Tuesday curious charges against
Comptroller Knox were forwarded to the
House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency in Washington, which is now in
~vestigating the affairs of the bank. These
charges are fourteen in number, and con-
tain entirely new evidence, duplicating
Comptroller Knox at q time previous to
the hearing before the House Committee
on Banking and Currency. 1--WE had
been too much hurried, owing to the death
of Ives and the change in our counsel, to
put these latter charges in proper form, 80
we have delayed their presentation until
now. in order to make them compile in
every detail, both as regards the allega-
tions and the evidence supporting them. l
am not at liberty to state what these
charges are, because Knox is to ap-
near before the House Committee on
Tuesday next, when these charges will be
formally presented. They are very dam
aging to Knox, and supported by in con-
testible proofs. The first OF the charges
refer to q prominent bank in Boston, with
Wn1Gn. AlSO, OOutAOlACA lAhOA was AoChb
fed. A prominent shareholder Of the
latter bank, who owned $500, 900 worth. of
stock in the Pacific Bank, has declared
that If the House Committee on Banking
and Currency does not proceed in the
matter as would seem just and proper,
from the serious nature Of the charges
presented, he will at once institute GRIM
inal proceedings against Controller Knox.
Knock-DOwn and Drag.Out for
Logan.
CHICAGO, April 49, The Republican
primaries were held to elect delegates to
nominate Congressman in the First,
Second and Fourth Districts; to elect dele
gates in all four of the districts to the Dis
trict Convention, and to elect delegates to
the National Convention. The issue in all
four districts is clearly defined as between
the adherents and opponents of Senator
Logan for the Presidential nomination.
The balloting was characterized by unusual
turbulence and struggle. In the Third
Congressman Davis') District it was par
ticularly exciting, and many personal
encounters and several free fights resulted,
but as the only weapons used were fists, no
serious consequences followed. The result
of it all was q divided victory. The First
District chose 80 delegates to the Con-
gressional Convention, 40 of whom are for
Logan and 40 against him. An exciting
time is expected when the convention
meets tomorrow to choose delegates to the
National Convention. In the Second Dis
trict, the Logan and the anti-Logan man
ayers agreed to disagree, and held two sets
of primaries, and will send two sets OF
delegates to the National Convection. In
the Third District, anti-Logan delegates
were chosen, and in the Fourth, those in
favor Of Logan.
