The White House grounds present ed decidedly picturesque appearance April 7, the occasion being the annual gathering there of children of the dis trict for the purpose of egg-rolling. The entire grounds back of the man. sion were turned over to the children, and several thousand spent Q portion of the day there.

The funding bill has passed the Senate, and needs but the signature of the President to become law. This will be speedily done and Arizona's counties and cities can fund their in- debtedness and save her people such exorbltant rates of interest as they have been payng for years past. The importance of this new departure cannot be overestimated. It means a cheaper rate of interest for the bor- rower as an individual and the people as soclety. It means the lnaugura- ton ot industries that could not exist Tn a country where money IS worth 25 Der cent; and for this practical depar- ture from darkness to daylight the counties, cities and the individual can thank Gov.

". Richards, prominent ranchman and mine owner of the western. slope of the Sierra Madres, in Sonora, was in the city yesterday. He states that the murders reported from that coun- try as being done by the Indians is not true. It is the outlaws who are doing the killing. There Ire only about twelve Indians in the whole country, but there are about four or five times as many outlaws of every nationality, including Mexicaas and Americans. These men are regular bandits and work together in bards Of Dot more than four or five and ara scattered through the Sierra &4dres from the Arizona line south. It was they who did the killing recently near Bisbee, Arizona.

LONDON, Nov. 28.-Today's events in

lieve they would bring about new de-
|yelopements which would lead to an
|amicable arrangement of the trouble.
but, although conferences held today
prove that u great divergence of opinion
exists, they show that Parnell is firmly
resolved to adhere to his decision and that
unless a vote of no confidence is passed
by his followers, he will not abdicate the
leadership. Today, after a long and
earnest discussion of the situation, in
which most candid and outspoken opin-
lions were given, Parnell positively gained
b victory. Members, however, who ad-
|vocated his retention, deprecated the idea
kf a final decision until the opinion of
|he entire party shall have been recorded.
The meeting adjourned after nearly three
hours Of speech-making in order to obtain
hhe views of absent members Of the party.
Careful inquiry brings out the fact that
little doubt exists as to the upshot of the
matter. When the party re-assembles
Monday it is probable Parnell will again

A Miraculous Escape,

One Of the arrowes escapes from
frightful railroad accident ever recorded
in the history Of %railroading in this sec.
ton occurred on the Great Northern LIST
Monday at the Teton grade, about two
miles east of Benton. The conductor of
the freight train, which should have side.
tracked at Benton, for some reason failed
to stop for orders, but continued on to-
ward Big Sandy. The west-bound pas.
senger train was due at Benton a few
minutes after the freight train passed
The conductor, W. P. Morrow. was made
aware Of the situation by a brakeman Just
as the heavy freight began the steep
grade of the Teton. Suddenly realizing
the awful result which would follow, he
slgnalled the train to stop. just at this
moment the west-bound passenger, in
charge of Conductor Charles Hulett, was
sighted steaming up the grade and a ter.
rible collision seemed almost certain.
Fortunately the engineer on the passen-
ger saw the danger, whistled down brakes
and stopped his train a short distance
from the freight. Morrow of the freight
train went on to Teton station and re-
signed his position.

DULUTH, Nov. 26.-The suspension of
the bank of H. H. Bell was announced
this morning by a bulletin placed on the
door stating that owing to tightness of the
money market, Bell was at present I'M
able to meet the banks obligations,
although every dollar of liabilities would
be met in due time. An assignment of
all of Bells property to Clinton Markell
was filed early this morning, with the
clerk of the court for the benefit of all
creditors of the concern. The bulletin
further stated a full and exact account of
the banks assets and liabilities would be
furnished to the public at the earliest
possible date. W. W. Bilson, the banks
attorney, said:
"The failure was occasioned simply by
the fact that the line of discount and re-
discounts which the bank was carrying
proved too large for times OF such ex-
teme financial SIT ingency. On recount
Of this stringency, aggravated, perhaps, by
misgivings In monled circles with
reference to magnitude of his business as
compared with Lis capital, his rediscounts
we're suddenly and generally called in
and Bell found himself unable to care for
them. Bell has, l suppose, been justly
considered to be worth 100000 and this
entire fortune will SO far as necessary be
applied to cover the possible shrinkage
In his assets"
The bank was crippled in trying to
carry out Forressall Bros. contracts since
their failure. The liabilities of the bank
are about $715,oO0 and assets 100000; on
short loans mostly for sixty days S25O,00O;
re-discounts $4,000; advanced for city
to carry Forrestall Bros. and private pro-
perty of Bell, 100000, making total
assets $1,8OO,OOO. The West End bank of
H. H. Bell & Co., was also closed today
and all funds removed from Its vaults to

morning.
