THE NORTH AMERICAN COMPANY.

Wizards Great Incorporation Reported
Insolvent. but This IL Denied.
NEW YoRK, Nov. 13-All sorts OF stories
were today going around as regards the af-
fairs of the North American. 1t was re-
ported that the assets had all been pledged,
and that nothing remained for the stock
holders. The officials of the company say
the company is solvent, that is, that the
assets of the company exceed or equal tie
liabilities; but reports affecting the stock
are that the company will have little left,
and that it will be impossible to continue
its existence. The North American Com
pany authorizes the following statement:
The reports as to the condition of the North
American Company are uafounded and ex-
tremely unjust. The company has no outstand-
ing call obligations. Its time loan is held by a
comparative few persons aud institutions of
great financial strength abu dainty secured by
collaterals which, even at the panic prices dur
ing the last few days, could have teen seen for
sums sufficient to pay all its obligations and
leave large surplus to the credit of the COM
pany. The company has also a large amount of
valuable assets in its treasury not pledged at ALL
and il has always been perfectly solvent. The
stockholders have been called together simply to
satisfy them OF the sound condition of the CON-
pany and to obtain their cooperation. The
com pany has made no assignment and intends
to make none.

TOURISTS. ENTRIES CANCELLED.

Interior Department. Throws Open To-.
900 Acres Of Idaho Desert Land.
WASHINGTON CITY. Nov. 13.-lSpecial. r.
The interior department has informotion
on which it has held for cancellation en-
tries aggregaiing 1900 acres in Idaho.
The entries were made by party of tour
lists who went to Idaho in February last,
each one of party of ladies and gentle
men making a desert land and timber
culture entry. which gave to each under
the law then in force $50 acres. A special
agent suspected that these entries were
made for speculative purposes, and an
agent from the department investigated
the matter. In New York. where the
tourists live. they have returned and or
ganized THE Fayette River Company"
under the territorial laws of Idaho. and
this the department believes is
merged into the Mutual Instrument Com
pany. which many OF the same persons in
corporated under the New Jersey laws.
The DEPARTMENT believe that these lands
were entered for the purpose of securing
basis for raising cash in the East. One of
the tourists jumped a placer mining claim
belonging to E. ]. Curtis, at that time ter
ritorial secretary. Since the department
held the entries for cancellation as being
fraudulent, no word has been heard from
any of them, although notice was served
on them to that effect that they were given
the privilege of making contest or of hav-
ing hearing at which all the facts in the
case would be brought out If nothing is
heard at the end of sixty days from notice
the whole batch of entries will be wiped
from the records.

The North River Bank Stiil Closed.
NEW York, Nov. 13-The North River
bank did not open this morning. The
bank officials felt sure they would pull
through all right. though they could not
resume business for several days. The
bank examiner said the statement Of the
banks affairs would Le ready soon. At
the clearinghouse il is learned that a large
contractor is debtor TO the bank to the ex-
tent of $4,000. Six or seven other con-
tractors are also debtors TO the bank for
large amounts. Coliaterals for security of
loans are said to be claims against the city.
State Superintendent of Banks Preston
tonight made a statement of the liabilities
and assets of the North River bank, show
ing assets of $3.50 0l0; liabilities, 50 $751;
1S7; terminal surplus. so. s52 Preston
said he found there existed no very large
obligations of the individual directors to
the bank. He stated positively that the
notes in the bank were all git-edged in
every particular. In his opinion the
trouble was that the bank had not kept
large enough surplus on hand. He would
give the institution an opportunity to re-
sumo if they could so arrange within rea-
sonable time, but not until he was assured
their depositors would be provided for.

Southern Pacific Company Guilty Of
Criminal Negligence.
SALEM, Nov. 1a-After hearing the evi-
dence in the case and viewing the remains
and the wreck today, the coroner's jury
returned the following verdict:
We, the jury, impaneled to inqnire into the
cause OF the death of John McFadden, N. g.
Neale and an unknown man, after care ul

sons before Us; of the bridge across the slough
known as Lake Labish, aad examination
OF the Witnesses known to have
any knowledge of the facts relating to said per-
sons, aud the manner OF their death. find that
one OF these bodies is that OF John G. McFadden,
aged about 40 years; residence, East Portland,
Or; that at the time of his death
he was .emrloyed as an engineer
on passenger engine on the Southern Pacific
railroad; that another of said bodies is that of
F. G. Nesle. aged about "a years, residence, East
Portland Or, and at the time of his death en-
ployed as fireman on the Southern Pacific rail-
road; that other body is that of a man unknown
to as; that all three of these persons
came 10 their death by the wrecking of the
passenger train in crossing the bridge at Lake
Labish. We do further find that said engineer,
John G. McFadden. ana said fireman, F. G.
Neale met sheir death through no fault or neg
igence OF their own; that they were faithful to
thei duty and acted heroicaliy in remaining at
their posts after they had evidently discovered
their danger: that sal engineer did the best in
his power to reverse his engine and avert the
calamity or at lesst to save
from the Impending accident as many
a. possible OF the lives intrusted to
bis care: that the death OF the unknown before
us was the result of the same accident through
which those above-named lost their lives and
was not attributable to any negligence or
carelessness or fault OF said engineer
and fireman; thai the accident was
the result of an unsound, unsafe bridge.
aud that said Southern Pacific Railroad Com.
pany is guilty of criminat neglige nee in allow
ing such structure to stand and TO be used for
the PASSAGE of trains, q constant menace to life
and pr. perty, which said company has pledged
TO protect aud transport In safety.

ing the main line at Albany. where they

NO PANIC IN LONDON.


Much Gold on the Way, and the Situa-
tion Improving Rapidly.
LONDON, Nov. 13.-[New York Herald
Cable. 1.-Two million pounds in gold will
be shipped from Paris 10 London fomor-
row, and will be sent into the bank on Sat-
urday, and more gold is on the way from
Russia and more from Rio Janeiro.
The report of panic was un-
founded. The situation was undoubtedly
nervous, but the next few days promise an
improvement. At no time during the pres
ent depression has there been anything
likely to be construed into an absolute
panic. Today's settlement was gotten over
without any failures. Everybody looked
forward to many failures. the strained con-
dition for the past week having made
this almost inevitable, and there was great
surprise at the firmness with which every
one met the ordeal It was privately re-
ported today that well-known bank was
in difficulty, but tonight the matter is said
to have been arranged. Americans closed
al their best prices.
