THE NEW YORK FAILURES.
Comment ON the SstuatioH-The
Grant 81 Ward Smash. /


NEW YORK, May S.-Cashier Vail, of the
Garfield bank, says the Marine bank owed
his bank 81 900, and that the Garfield bank
has no paper not sound
Long Island City is threatened with bank
ruptcy because the taxes for the year were
deposited in the Marine bank Gen. Grant
told Gen. Calls that he didn't know exactly
how he stood, but if he had gone to town
early in the day the failure of Grant Il
Ward would never have occurred 1t is
generally believed that the general
lost 100000 and his son what he
had, but the generals presented fund Of
$3.50, 900 remains intact
Mr.. Camp Of the clearing house, said he
believed the Marine bank would DO wound
up. The failure was mainly due to over
drafts of Grant & Ward; no other banks
were in trouble. Several have examined
about the standing of which there had been
adverse rumors.
From what is learned the collapse
of Grant & Ward is mainly owing
to drop in various fimsy, fancy
stocks during the past year, since which
there has been some rehypothecation of
securities, similar to the Bonner ease few
years ago 1t is charged that Brooklyn
concern, which recently put $500, 900 in
securities with Ward for loan, is unable to
get the money or collateral back Ward is
at the Office, and it is stated the firm has
settled outstanding loans to large amount
1t is stated that Gen. Grants New Yori
city property and Long Branch residence is
settled upon Mrs Grant, and the $500, 00t
fund is in trust, guaranteed by the ex-Gov
ernor Morgan estate.
1t is stated that the affairs of Grant
Ward are turning out better than was sup
posed. The firm expected to procure larg
loan which would carry them along. Th
loan was not obtained and Ward gave up
1t IS now thought the assets will go furthe
than was expected.
Comptroller Grant said that he had reasol
to believe the depositors in the Marine banl
would be paid in full as the city, which ha'
81, 0G0, 900 on deposit, would lose nothing.
DepositJrs say that no doubt the bank will
pay depusitors in full.

say that she is even Drawer than she
will admit. 1t is related that on one

and said

no means a rival of Maud S.

THE proposed connection of the
Bay of Biscay with the Mediterranean
by canal through Southern France
is the revival of an old scheme. 1t
might be hopeless save that the Gar
onne lends itself as a practicable
waterway along the greater part Of
the route, notably between Bordeaux
and Toulouse. The main question is
whether the tolls will be likely TO
justify the expense of the construc-
ton. The saving in distance by avoid
ing the voying around the Spanish
peninsula will be great, and the risks
of mishaps by sea will be proportion

500 meters in height, is rapidly de
creasing in altitude, and consider
able cavity is forming round its base.
The whole mass of the mountain is
evidently sinking. The neighbor
hood of Bona must, however, have
formerly been the scene Of a similar
phenomenon. Lake Fezzara, which
measures over 10000 hectares in ex-
tent had no existence in the time of
the Romans. Its depth at the confer is
only 3. 60 meters now. Investigations
made IN 1870 disclosed the remains Of
Roman town lying in the lake:
The inference is that the town had
sunk long ago, just as the mountain
is sinking at the present day.
