Nevada RankRe Reorganized.

SAN Francisco, April ga plan
has been made public for the reorgan-
ization of the Nevada Bank. A cir
cular has been issued by N. X. Mas
ten, formerly cashier of the bank, and
]. T. Houghton, manager Of the Home
Mutual Insurance Company, in which
they propose the following plan: The
present stockholders will eliminate
and take to their own account all the
bad and doubtful assets, and assume
and pay all liabilities except the
amounts due depositors, and will turn
over to the new management sufficient
good assets to be approved by COM
mittee of the new Board Of Directors,
to pay all the depositors and cover the
full capital stock at par, $4,000, 900,
in twenty-five thousand shares
of 500 each, to be taken by
parties outside of the present
stockholders, payable at par on de-
mand, upon which the present officers
and directors will resign, and a new
board be elected by the new stock
holders. Subscription books will be
opened by April 30th.
An examination shows the condi-
ton OF the bank to be about as fol-
lows. Assets-Bills receivable and
accounts after eliminating, 81, ,214 900 ;
bonds, 81 ,257 900; cash, $2,8S4 100.
Total, $6.356,0OO. Liabilities = De-
posits, 1886, 900; capital stock, $3,.
000,0OO.
Manager John F. Bigelow, rof the
Nevada Bank, being interviewed,
stated, "The reason for this change
is Mr.. Flood is in very poor health
and is desirous Of going to Europe
just now. Mr.. Fair has too many out
side interests to be attended to, and
cannot give as much of his time to
the bank as would be necessary. 1t is
about the same with Mr.. Mackay, and
besides he intends very soon to leave
here. These gentlemen control, and
in fact own, about all the banks stock
which they propose placing in this
way among the merchants of this
city," F. K. Master corroborated the
statement of manager Bigelow, stat.
ing further that the matter Of reorgan.
ization has been thoroughly canvassed
by him among the merchants and
business men in general, who look
upon the affair in most favorable
light. "Messrs. Flood, Fair and
Mackay will still retain stock in the
company and will give the bank their
friendly support"

STUCK ON THE ROCKS.
A Cargo of Sugar Damaged by
Salt Water.

Salt Water.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-The brig
J. D. Spreckles came near finding q
berth at the bottom of the bay to-day,
and it was only by fortunate set of
circumstances that she was saved.
She was coming in fourteen and one
half days from Kahualai, Hawaii,
running ten miles an hour, be-
fore fresh breeze. When
inside Of Mile Rock the wind
died out, and the vessel
drifted on the rock, with
a strong ebb tide. Her keel was
knocked off and she began to leak
badly. The steamer Queen Of the Pa
cific came along and towed the brig
eff with five feet of water in her hold.
The first strike tore away six feet Of
her keel, the second made a large
dent in her side, and then she rose
and fell with the tide. The loss is con-
siderable. The hull Of the brig is
damaged, but to what extent cannot
yet be said. At any rate, it is triAing
to the loss on the cargo of sugar. She
had on board 5000 bags of raw sugar
and other merchandise. All of the
sugar in the lower hold is ruined. 1t
is estimated that one-third of the
cargo is worthless, which will entail a
l0ss OF $4,000, which is covered by
insurance. 1t is believed that SIS 1000
will cover all damages.

A SOLE SURVIVOR.
The Wreck of the Hawaiian
Bark Ledt.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-Thos. R.
Bridge, sailor and only survivor of
the Hawaiin bark Ledi. which was
wrecked on the Island Of Hawaii six
weeks ago, arrived at San Francisco
on the brig J. D. Spreckels from
Kahului to-day. He gave graphic
description of the circumstances of
the wrecking, and attributes the loss of
the vessel to an electric storm, which
caused an enormous sea. Bridge said
that the Ledi's timbers were badly
strained by the first terrible shock.
She received a leak in the bottom
which could not be stopped. AS the
crew was hurlying about below, an
other huge wave struck and broke her
clean in two. Twas on deck just at
this time, and having hold Of a pile
of timber, was swept overheard. The
next thing I knew was being cared
for by some of the natives on Hawaii
Island, near Lava Point, where was
washed ashore. l believe l am the
only survivor. as none others have
been heard of since.

pose of hearing about dozen persons
representing manufacturing interests
and labor organizations. The state
ments of these persons in brief were
to the effect that they desired to take
exception to the remarks on the floor
OF the House, by friends of the Mills
bill, that laborers and manufacturers
derive no benefit from the present
tariff law. They also made an ener-
getic protest against the action of the
Ways and Means Committee in re-
fusing to hear from representatives
Of the interests which would be af-
iected by the passage of the pending

Bill to Reform the House OF

Bill to Reform the House OF
Lords-The Commons.
LONDON, April 26.-A long discus
sion took place in the House of Lords
this evening on Earl Dunraven's bill
to reform that body. The main fea-
lures Of the bill are as follows: Peers
OF creation shall be entitled to seats
in the House OF Lords by election;
and they may resign seats to become
eligible to the Commons. Provision
is also made for the admission
of Colonial, Catholic, Dissenting
and Scientific representatives. Lord
Salisbury objected to the bill as an
abandonment of the firm rock of ex-
perience for plunge into the un-
known. The Government were willing
to consider the admission Of life Peers
and other needful reforms, for which
they would introduce a separate bill.
Lord Dunraven thereupon withdrew
his bill. In the Commons tonight
Ferguson, Under Foreign Secretary,
announced that the French ambassa-
dor had protested against the bill for
laying tax on bottled wines. After
considerable discussion, the bill was
adopted.

this morning says: "The Emperor
slept well last night; his fever is very
slight, and his general condition be-
gins to improve"
The Emperor rose at noon and
walked in the room adjoining his
bedroom. The doctors are in hopes
that he will be able to drive out by
Monday.
Queen Victoria visited the mauso-
leum this morning and spent some
time in prayer at the tomb of Em-
peror William. The Empress and
her daughter accompanied the Queen.
During the day the Emperor was
out OF bed four hours. His tempera-
ture is now almost normal; the sense
Of taste which he lost during the
critical period has returned. This II
regarded as an exceptionally favorable
sign. He seems better in every
respect. His appetite is remarkable.
He has again begun to hear State re-
ports. The physicians are Of tho
opinion that
THE CRISIS HAS Passed.
Queen Victoria left this afternoon.
In addition to host of royalists she

thanks for the welcome rendered her.

and Empress and Princess, the train
started amid the loud cheers Of the

nation. Chas. H. Prescott, Joseph

A. Boutelle were elected Delegates-at-
Large. Alternates and Electors hav-
ing been elected the Committee on
Resolutions reported a platform,
which was adopted and the Conyen-
ton adjourned.
The platform declares for the
protection of American industry,
and contends that it is the
duty of the Republicans in Con-
gress to resist to the utmost the pas
sage of the Mills Tariff bill. 1t
favors the abolition of SO much of the
revenue tariff as will bring the
total receipts Of the Treasury
TO equal as nearly as practica-
BILE the just expenditures of the
Government; and holds that Hon.
James G. Blaine, our long trusted
statesman, is deserving of the thanks
OF the p sople OF Maine and Of the en-
tire Nation for the promptness and
remarkable ability and faculty with
which, in his Paris letter, he answered
the free trade manifesto of President
Cleveland and pointed out the duty of
maintaining American industries and
markets for the American people.
The Republicans OF the Fourth Con-
gressional District this morning NOM
mated G.. A. Boutelle for Congress, by
acclamation, and Fred. A. Powers
and Benz. B. Thatcher delegates to
the Chicago convention. The resolu-
tions strongly endorse Blaine.
The defeat of the Direct Tax bill by
the Democratic House is denounced,
and the timidity of the executive
departments in dealing with foreign
nations deprecated. The Civil Ser
vice law is approved and the present
administration arraigned for wanton
violations of its provisions. The
declarations OF hostility to saloons is
renewed.
