A SIGNIFICANT MEBTING.
NJ. de Giers and NJ. Ribot's Coming
Visit to Switzerland.

PARIS, Aug. 9.-M. Ribot. the French
minister of foreign affairs, will 60 to
Lausanne at the end Of this month on a
vacation, during which he will meet, either
at Lausanne or at Lucerne, the Russian
foreign minister, M. de Giers, who is also
about to make holiday sojourn in Switzer-
land
The meeting is the subject Of much
speculation. Apart from the Franco Rus
sian military entente already partially
effected, NJ Ribot, according to diplomatic
report, will seize the chance to consult
with NJ. de Giers on the menacfng attitude
of the dreibund zollverein toward both
France and Russia.
GERMANY's ULTIMATE OBJECT SUSPECTED.
Yesterday evenings North German Ga
sette frankly avows that the French foreign
office has long suspected that the ultimate
object of Germany in promoting the Eu-
ropean commercial league was the conclu-
sion of tariff conventions with all the states
outside Of Europe.
A semi-official communication In the
North German Gazette repudlates any de-
sign TO Isolate France or TO interfere with
Russian commerce, but the palpable result
of the zollverein in placing the parties to
the contract in an advantageous position
for the negotiation or commercial treaties
with foreign states is dwelt upon.
TO MAKE A REPUTATION.
If M. Ribot succeeds, through his confer
ence with M. de Giers, in efHecting an
economic entente between the two countries,
it will greatly add to the repute Of both
statesmen.

The KEYSTONE BANK.
Ex-B Bank Examiner Drew's Report K
the Secretary of the Treasury.

Ex-Bank Examiner Drew's Report to
the Secretary fthe Treasury.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 9.-Ex-Bank
Examiner William P. Drew tonight for
warded to the Secretary Of the Treasury a
detailed statement of his work in connec-
tion with the keystone National Bank.
The statement is in vindication of himself,
AMI deals with the action of Comptroller of
the Currency Lacey in asking for his resig-
ton, owing 80 his omission in his Janu-
ary report of the condition of the Keystone
bank in regard to the clearing house loan.
AN OVERSIGHT ALLEGED.
In regard to this omission, Mr.. Drew in
his statement says it was purely an over
sight in transeribiug, and calculated Of
itself greatly to mislead. He was not aware
Of the omission until June %, when
he received his papers in the case, but the
clearing house loan certificates were liabili-
ties of an extraordinary nature, and known
to the controllers Office to have been Issued
to the Keystone National Bank In Novem-
ber 1890, and to have been greatly increased
in amount in the following December by
reason of run" on the bank.
THE PRELIMINARY JANUARY REPORT.
His January report, MIR. Drew says, was
marked preliminary" intimating that a
fuller and more trustworthy report was to
follow, and which did follow with the
omitted item in full. 1t would have been
fair, the statement says, to the examiner
that his consecutive reports whether
preliminary or not, more particularly
concerning bank known to the controller,
to be in an unsatisfactory, not to say peril
GUS, condition, should be promptly and
fully collated in the controllers office, and
all important discrepancies clearly pointed
out at once.
THE CONTROLLER NOTIFIED IN 1890.
The statement further comments upon
the fact that the omission was not discoy-
cred until five months had passed. and that
the unsatisfactory condition of the Key
stone Bank and the Spring Garden Bank
was called to the attention of the controller
in 1890.
In conclusion, Mr.. Drew says that he be>
lieves he has demonstrated that the omis-
sion in the report referred to was largely
supplied by letter transmit
could have been logically in
ferred from other information in the
conptroller's office, and was virtually with
out practical effect in governing the de-
partment in its action toward the bank in
question.

many. The dust darkened the Hir the rumble
of the earthquake, the sharp explosions of
distant volcanoes, and the believing OF
craged cattle made an unbearable uproar
and frightened the Indians, who broke and
fed wildly up the river. Two only cue

The Others dropped exhausted along the
route.
A TIDAL WAVE.
jose Perez, a cattle man from Lendo, and
five men witnessed the scene from the top
Of hill to which they had escaped. They
report that the tidal wave was fully one
hundred feet high, and also that tho river
was of BLUSH purple fire, which was
flowing down into the Colorado river near
the gulf. This is undoubtedly from the
sulphur mountain, which was set on fire by
the volume OF burning material thrown out
by the volcanoes.
Much property was destroyed. The resi-
dsnce and all the valuable buildings on the
ranch of Charles Townsend, breeder OF fine
cattle, were leyeled by the earthquake.

bition Committee Chairman.
SPRINGFIELD, o., Aug. 9.-Wilber Cal
vim, chairman Of the Clark county prohibi-
tion central committee, and one
other member. A. L. Stager, resigned yes
terday. The party is split in the county,
and as Mr. Calvin is one Of the most promi-
nenJ prohibitionists in Ohio, the split will
probably extend over the state. The
trouble grows out of a fight in the late state
convea tion over the one-sided platform.
The letter of resignation charges the Prohi-
bition party with being an annex to the
Peoples party, and that it indorses meas
ures that are revolutionary and positively
detrimental to the best interests Of the
whole people. Mr.. Calvin is the ac-
knowledgcd leader of the one idea faction
and has a large following.

President Diaz will not recede from the
plan for economy upon which he has
entered, and it is considered that the era of

SCHOONER WAiMALU WRECKED.

Sheriff Thomas W. Everett Of

Wilson the wreck of the schooner
Waimalu. On Friday night, March
goth, the schooner dragged her an
chors and went ashore and biIged,
within 250 yards of the beach at
Waiehu. She lay on her side in less

on hearing of the mishap immedi-
ateIy went to the place. He found
Capt. Weisbarth getting on shore the
balance of his cargo Of lumber, and
not requiring any help. The captain
got everything movable on shore,
and asked the Sheriff to sell, first,
the hull, anchors and chains, as the
vessel lay, and, next, the sails, kedge
anchors and other things saved from
the wreck. The sale was fixed for
Friday yesterday. Capt. Weis-
barth owned the schooner and had no
