Amelia, OF Portugal, Supporting the
Families of Condemned Rebels
LONDON, April 30-Amld the excitement
In Portugal the act of charity Of Queen
Amelia is favorably commented ON.
Having heard that the wife and children
OF Captain Leltao, the Republican leader
OF the Oporto insurrectlon, were in abso-
lute want, the father aud husband being
under sentence OF imprisonment, the
queen herself has taken them under her
protection and Is supporting them, as
wen as the other destitute families of the
insurgents, out Of her private fortune.
AS the snccess Of the iRsHFFeetion would
nave deprived the king and queen OF their
lhfone, and perhaps OF their lives, this is
regarded as remarkable example OF
maRhaAimity and charity The amiabie
character OF the queen has done much To
soften the. popular feeling against the
KING, who IS looked upon by many as the
tool Of Lord Salisbury.

THE DOORS CLOSED.
Suspension Of the Keystone Ma
tional Bank of Philadelphia.
NO STATEMENT NOW 0BTAINABLE.

Closed by Order of the Comptroller
of the Currency-Presiden Drew
Says an Earnest Effort to Restore
the Bank Will Be Made at Once.
Cause of the Suspension.
PHILADELPHIA, March 21.-Soon after
the keystone National bank opened for
business yesterday morning the heavy
iron doors were lowered. and the fol-
lowing notice was placed upon them:
= PHILADELPHiA, March so.-This bank is
closed blythe order Of the comptroller OF the
treasury.
N. p. DREW. National Bank Examiner.
After the closing of the doors ad-
mission was desired to all persons. The
closing of the bank was q surprise to
most of its depositors. During the
financial stringency in the latter part
of last year there were rumofs affecting
the banks solvency and heavy run
was made upon it, but the institution
tided over the run and was thought to
be IN good financial condition.
No Statement ObtainabIe.
The Keystone National bank of Phila-
delphia was organized some twenty
years ago. 1t had capital Of $500 900,
and, by last October's report, deposits
of 81, 100000 and u surplus of 500, GOO.
The largest depositor of the bank is the
city of Philadelphia, which has de-
posit there of aDout 100000. The au-
thorized capital Of the bank is $500, 200,
and surplus of 100000 was claimed.
No statement of the banks liabilities
and assets is obtainable. 1t is said that
the bank was closed by the comptroller
; becslse the reserve fund had fallen be-
low the amount required by the national
banking law.
Tile bank has line of deposits
amounting to about 81. 400, 900, and it is
claimed for it that it has assets suffi-
cient to meet this amount.
What President Drew Says.
President Drew, of the keystone
bank, says its suspension is due to the
run the bank sustained in the early
part of last December, the effects of
which have been lingering, and to the
repayment to the clearing house of
very large amount of loan certificates,
which has kept the Legal reserve of cash
below the average. An earnest effort
to fully restore the bank will be made
immediately he added.
The Central Saving Fund. Trust and
Safe Deposit company, which is closely
allied to the keystone bank, and is un-
der the same management, is declared
by President d. p. S. Nichols to be in u
solid condition. President Nichols says
his institution will meet any and all de-
manAs on sight.
Cause of the Suspension.
One Of the causes of the banks sus.
pension is said to be the fact that
great deal OF its money is tied up in in
vestuhents on which it cannot realize.
One Of these is its own building, very
fine structure, erected about three
yearsago at cost Of about S40o 900.
There is on deposit in the suspended
bank $399, ,595 OF the city's money. City
Treasurer Bardsley says he thought the
bank was safe, as he had been assured
by Bhnk Examiner Drew and the banks
officers that such was the fact.
GrsaJ crowds of excited people
gathered in front of the bank as soon
as the news was made public. A patrol
wagon filled with policemen was soon
on the spot and order was preserved.
