TALK OF LYNCHING.
The Citizens of San Diego Enraged at
the Deputy Marshals.

The Citizens of San Diego Enraged at
the Deputy Narshals.
SAN DIEGO, July 16.-Excitement con-
tinues at fever heat over the brutal work
of the Deputy Marshals in assaulting
party of seamen belonging to the cruiser
Charleston.
The inquest is still in progress, and the
evidence ali goes to show that the brutal
ity of the officers had not been exagger-
ated.
1t is developed that the officers who
claimed to be United States Deputy Mar
shals were not deputized by Marshal
Gard, and therefore had no authority to
arrest the sailors.
The marine burial service was held over
Brown on board the Charleston this
morning and the remains were then
brought ashore. They were sent to San
Francisco by this afternoons train.
At the inquest this morning the evil
dence was even stronger than that of
yesterday that the attack of the officers
was criminally brutal. The response
bility of Browns death is pretty well
fixed on three officers. The INQUEST will
probably continue till tomorrow.
1t was developed this morning that
well arranged plan to lynch the Deputy
Marshals hung fire last night. Sixty of
the most reputable citizens, fully armed.
were up until O'Clock this morning de-
batting whether or not the prisoners
should be l-uched. Better counsel pre-
vailed, am 1t was at last concluded to
await the result of the inquest. If the
Coroner's jury acquits the prisoners their
lynching is almost certain. There is
sullen determination on all sides to see
justice done.
The inquest Is being held in one of the
Superior Court rooms. Everybody who
can secure an entrance is in attendance
and the courtroom is crowded The pris-
oners are not brought in court for fear
they will be lynched.
Neither Webb nor Gillispie have yet
been arrested, although warrants are out
for both.
About fifty witnesses have been exam
ined by the Coroner, and the case will
probably go to the jury tomorrow. The
feeling is so strong against the prisoners
that they are kept locked in their cells in
stead of being brought into the court
room. Trouble is feared tonight and
extra guards have been placed over them.

senator Hale says He IS Perfectly Well
and Strong.
BAR HARBoR, July 16.-A correspond
ent of the Herald has had talk about
Blaine with Senator Hale, who is quoted
as saying that the truth about Blaine's
case can be very briefly stated. He
worked too hard during the winter and
had severe illness in New York to pay
for it.
He had rheumatic gout, too, in its
most painful FORM" said the Senator.
THAT was all before he came to Bar Har-
Dor, where he has been convalescing
steadily and rapidly ever since his ar
rival. He has been doing there what
any sensible man would do IN his
place, taking an absolute rest, with
plenty of driving, good wholesome food
and regular sleep. That is all there is to
it. OF course he has worried about him
self, as he always will do, but
there was no more ground for such
worry than there has been at many pre-
vious times in his life. To-day Blaine is
as well as [ am and will return to WASH
ington ready for the work he will have
to do.'
Hale denounces as silly lies the reports
that there is any coldness between the
President and Blaine, says that neither
is worrying about the nomination for the

KANSAS CITY (Mo.), July 16.-The First
National Bank of Wyandotte, of Kansas
City, Kan, suspended to-day and is in
the hands of the Bank Examiner.
President Wilson is very reticent con-
cerning the cause of the failure and the
condition of the bank. He says, how
ever, that the assets are 100000 and the
liabilities 100000. Much of the assets,
which We're supposed to be gilt-edged,
are of such a nature, he says, as TO pre-
vent rapid realization. Last fall the bank
became involved in the affairs of the
Hustled Investment Company and was in
a shaky condition. The institution at
that time consolidated with the Exchange
National Bank, and it was believed had
tided over the difficulties. 1t is generally
believed that the liabilities are consider
ably over 100000, inasmuch as the city
of Kansas City, Kan, had on deposit in
the bank about $4,000.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The Secretary

the National Bank depositaries for nearly
S4,000,000 of Government funds in their

tween now and August 18th. Twelve of

thorized during the administration of

tinued by Foster the number has been
reduced to thirty and the holdings to SIS
100000. There will be no further reduc-
ton, as the department is of the opinion
the deposits have now reached the mini
mum amount requisite for public service.
