FIVE CENTS.
Another Bank Closed,

CHICAGO, June 20.-By order of the
comptroller OF currency, National Bank
Examiner Sturgis this morning took pos
session of the Park National Bank. This
created no surprise in financial circles.
as President Packard was not trained
financial man, and it was understood
that its loans were of poor character.
The bank was capitalized at 5000, 900.
Its statement, May 18th, showed: Loans
and discounts, $63O,OO0; due depositors
and banks, $628, 300; surplus fund, $21,-
600; undivided profits, sis, 400.
President Packard insists that the
bank is solvent, and will be reopened.
The government examiner refuses to
talk.
WASHINGTON, June 2O.-The comp
troller of the currency SAYS he
closed the Park National Bank of
Chicago on reports of the bank exam
iner that it had large loans on doubtful
security; that receiver will be ap-
pointed unless the management is
changed and additional money put up.

LAKE FRONT PARK.
A TREMENDOUS SENSATION IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH.
It's Disputed Riparian Rights-An I'M
mense Steal Said to Be Going on-The
Worlds Fair Finally Located There.

CHICAGO, June 20.-A sensational
charge is attributed to Warrant Leland,
proprietor of the Leland hotel, in an in
terview published in an evening paper.
The ownership of Lake Front park, one
thousand feet wide and nearly mile
long, between Michigan avenue and the
lake shore, has long been in dispute.
The riparian right is the bone of conten-
ton, and claim is laid to it by the state
OF Illinois, the city of Chicago and the Illi-
nois Central Railroad Company. Leland,
as owner of property abutting on this
park, has beer" fighting all encroach-
ments thereon, and has declared his in
tention to fight the location of the
worlds fair upon it, negotiations to which
end have been in progress between the
directors and the Illinois Central rail
way. In an interview today Leland is
quoted as saying that year ago bribe
of 81 100000 was offered him to cease
his warfare in behalf of the preservation
of Lake Front park.
"And yet," he added, ''there are those
who believe l am fighting phantom,
and who ridicule the idea of there being
a steal on foot. Why, there has been a
steal on foot besides which the opera
tions of the Tweed ring pale into insig-
nificance. If the steal was of such a
gigantic proportion year ago before the
proposition to extend the park 200
feet more into the lake was made, of
what size do you think it now? 1t is
over two hundred million dollars.
Who is back of the steal? Is it
the Illinois Central railway or the city
council? l don't know. Perhaps it is
one; perhaps the other: perhaps both.
A stretch of the Imagination may en-
able one to believe it is neither, but as
such a steal could not be accomplished
without the consent of the city council,
and as the Illinois Central railroad is
commercially more greatly interested in
the disposition of the property than
anyone else, the belief that neither is
interested can be of but short life."
Leland is quoted in detail as to his
efforts to maintain the lake front free
from buildings, including the present
exposition building, and the opposition
he has met from the successive city gov
ernments fornine years past, intimating
that there were monetary influences
back of their opposition. Leland re-
fused to give the name Of the man who
came to him. He said it was a well-known
citizen, who came as the representative
of other parties and said: Leland, if
you will simply bother yourself no more
about the Lake Front park, but remain
passive to what is done, can let you in
on deal so you will get a million dol
lars"
The matter bids fair to create tre-
mendous sensation.

Tucson, Ariz., June 20.-The court
martial trial OF Captain Miltimore was
resumed today. A number of witnesses
were examined by the defense, who tes-
titled that it had been the custom of the
paymasters stationed in Tucson to have
the offices in their residences, and that
the present rentals were not exorbitant.
Major J. w. Wham testified that he
had never had any conversation with
Miltimore in relation to the location of
his Office or the price to be paid for it !;
that he wrote Miltimore a letter when
he desired a change and asked him to
remove his Office to the pres
ent location without even knowing
what was the price which would
be paid. He also testified that he
considered the funds very secure in the
safe in the Office located in his own
house, and very insecure in the same
safe in an office located outside of his
own house,.
Major A. S. Towar corroborated
Wham's testimony, and added that
Miltimore knew nothing OF his drawing
communication of quarters, as he drew
from the pay department. 1t is
an allowance of all officers who are not
furnished public quarters. He did not
know of the charges until he received
them. He asked for an investigation
before the trial, which was denied.

London's New Chief of Police-The
Franco-Russian Alliance is a Fact.

LONDON, June 20.-In the commons
tonight, Vincent, Conservative member
for Sheffield, asked whether the govern
ment would request the United States to
modify the prohibitive duties on British
products before it would make anv mod
ifications in the rules governing the i'm
portation of American CATTLE. Under
Secretary Ferguson said the restric-
tions on cattle were based solely on san
itary conditions. Vincent thereupon
gave notice of motion de-
claring that the house will
consider whether free market ought
longer to be given to competition
products OF foreign state which puts a
prohibitory tariff on British goods.
Smith, government leader, announced
that instead OF moving resolution con-
tlnulng bills from session to session, he
had adopted Gladstone's suggestion that
select committee be appointed to in
quire by what means the passage of
bills considered at one session could be
facilitated at the next.

Eastern News.
Associated Press Dispatches.

New York, June 20.-Powderly, il
his letter to Gompers, today, agreeing tc
meet the latter in Cooper Union tonight
stated that Gompers was in error in his
letter of yesterday in saying: "Tht
knights have been prepared for this
meeting for several weeks" He
(Powderly) had no intention until Mon
day evening of taking up the subject OF
the charges against the knights, emanat
ing from the headquarters of the fedora
ton. He said he would talk on other
matters, but in Difference to Gompers's
wishes will first discuss the subject at
issue, allow Gompers the same time to
reply, and then take up other matters.
He denied emphatically that his invita-
tlon to Gompers was in the nature of a
challenge.
Gompers issued written reply to the
effect that he believed Powderly never
expected his "challenge" to be ac-
cepted, or if accepted the idea was to
entrap him (Gompers) into packed
meeting. He accuses Powderly of being
pettifogger and double-dealer. He
added that he was ready at the meeting
or anywhere else to repeat and prove ali
he said about the knights.
Gompers was not present at the meet
ing of Knights of Labor tonight. Cooper
Union was crowded, and many people
who were unable to gain admittance at
tended an overflow meeting outside the
hall. In the hall, after reading Gompers's
letter, Mr.. Powderly invited Mr.. War
ner to take the platform. Warner said
as this was regular meeting of the ex-
ecutive board for specific purpose. it
would not be proper to adopt Gompers's s
suggestion to give him half the time of
the meeting for purpose not contem-
plated in the call.
At this point about 200 men rose as if
by prearrangement and left the hall.
Powderly thereupon said "All who de-
sire to leave will please do so now, as
there are hundreds outside who cannot
get in." This was received with great
cheers.
Powderly then spoke on the insinua-
tions made against the knights, and read
documents showing that they were the
first to suggest the eight-hour principle.
In the future they would continue the
eight-hour movement to help those
who are willing to help themselves.

scribe $1,000 per mile to this line of
road. The total length of the road in
the county was 147 miles, and seventy

The secretary OF the territory states the
debt of Yavapai county at $763 900, and
the assessment between $6,0O0,OO0 and
$4,000 There are seventy-fve

making county debt of 1856 900, or
about 13 per cent. upon the taxable as
sessment, taking that at $6,5O0 900, and
per capita county debt of nearly $85,
taking the population at about IL, 500, as
stated in the report of the senate COM
mlttee. Surely, no one will insist that
the true and permanent prosperity of
these communities will be promoted by
loading their energies and their indus
tries with this great debt.
| feel the force of the suggestion that
the freig ut charges now imposed upon
farm and orchard products OF Maricopa
county by the railroad now in
operation are oppressive. But
much relief, even in that direction.
There would be but one competing point,
viz: Phoenix. At all other points on
the proposed road the people would be
subject to the exacting of just such rates
as are demanded by the other line. If
this bill contained some effective pro-
vision to secure reasonable freight rates
to those people who are to be taxed to
build the road it would go far to secure
my favorable consideration. / have
carefully examined the reports of the
committees, and every argument that
has been submitted to me by the
friends OF the bill, but 1 cannot bring
myself to believe that the permanent
welfare of the communities affected
by it, will be promoted by its passage.
