THE FLURRY AT KANSAS CITY.
KANSAS CRY, May 15.-The slight
ternoon. A large number of deposits were
dravn out this morning, but nearly all were
small amounts, the larger depositors appearing
confident that the scare WAS artificial,
and the concerted action Of the banks
coupled with encouraging Eastern ad-
vices, brought about an early reaction
and the excitement gradually subsided. The
sas City was involved seems to have originated
in an impression that the bank had large &C
count with Donnell, Lawson & Simpson. Their
books show that they had but $34, 600. with the
New York firm, ! comparatively small amount.
The feeling is now that occasion for apprehen-
sion Of serious trouble is over. "

THE COMPTROLLER SPEAKS.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Comptroller
Cannon now says nothing more will be
given out by him concerning the affairs
of the Marine National Bank of New
York. All information hereafter must
come from the receiver. He has not re-
ceived Bank Examiner Schriba's report,
and does not expect any. At any rate
he has nothing more to say about the
bank and it will be useless to expect
from him statement of the condition
of the defunct institution.
STREET GOSSIP.
WALL STREET, May 15.-The Com
mercial says the general subject of dis
cussion was the remarkable position as
sumed by President Seney and the
directors Of the Mettopo politan Bank, who
announced early in the morning that
the bank had suspended not because it
had to but because it chose to.
George Scott, the banker said: t'There
is no excuse for Seney's pinch. He had
ample notice. The coming crash could
have been tided over just as we'll as not.
I can't see any excuse for his bank clos
ing its doors and do not think its capital
impaired. The increase in the value of
it's: real estate holdings will cover it's
losses 9 Do you know any

action in the pool Of East Tennessee

It is said on the street by several prom
.inent operators that the real members Of
the pool were Washington 3. Oonnor.

imagined Brice and Thomas' action
otherwise than in good faith and be
