No Cash Even for TIL. nich.

sit is the rich men who are apparently
suffering most from the stringency of
the money market" said a Wall street
broker. There are millionaires here
who can't raise a thousand dollars cash
without borrowing. Now, that's a fact.
They may have plenty of securities.
There are lots of gilt edged securities,
but they don't represent ready money.
The ready money is not to be had when
everybody wants it most. Then is when
it slyly sinks out of sight. Then is when
every man and corporation with out
standing contracts gets stuck more or
less."-New York Herald.

Charley Masteu returned to Cheyenne
last night from Horse creek. He has
been developing some of the iron ore
bodies recently discovered there, but was
obliged to cease work, owing the in
clemency OF the weather. In one place
he has sunk seventeen feet and in that
distance the yellow iron ore vein de.
veioped from eighteen inches to SIX feet

The facilities of the present day for the
production of everything that will con-
duce to the material welfare and comfort
of mankind are almost unlimited and
when Syrup of Figs was first produced
the world was enriched with the o ily

remedy which is truly pleasing and re
freshing to the taste and prompt and
effectual to cleanse the system gently in
the Spring time or, in fact, at any time
and the better it is known the more pop,

A Favorite Remedy.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a IA
vorlte during the winter months on ac
count of its great success in the cure of
colds. There is nothing that will loosen
a severe cold so quickly, or as promptly
relieve the lungs. Then it counteracts
any tendency toward pneumonia. 1t is
pleasant and safe to take, and fully worthy
of its popularity. For sale by druggists,

BANK FAILURE.
The American Eationa! Bank OF Kansas
City Closes Its Doors-DepositOrs
VIII be Paid in Full

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Jan. 22-Thc Amcri-
can National Bank Of this city has sus-
pended. The bank had capital of 81 $50
600 and was member Of the Kansas City
Clearing House, and carried on = special
department for bank and mercantile col
lcctionS. Its surplus was $50O,000 and
undivided profits 10000. The national
bank examiner of this State has taken
charge Of the affairs of the bank.
The bank had made Il heavy loan. and
WAS not able TO get enough money in to
meet the demands of the dcpoSitors. y
loan of one million dollars was asked from
the Clearing House and was refused by
the committee, which was in session yes
tcrdav and until four o'clock this morn
ing. The dcpoSitors will probably not
lose anything, rs the stockholders are
liable for twice the amount Of the banks
capital. 1T has loans and discounts
amounting to $4,000 600 and IL surplus of
over $30O,OOO. The deposits amount to
about $4,000, 600. The failure to open its
doors this morning caused run on the
Kansas City Safe Deposit and Savings
Bank in the same building, and the en-
trance to the building and streets sur
rounding were crowded by a great throng.
This bank has so far paid everybody. and
it is believed i. will tide through the day.

THE IhIMIGRATION BILL.
1t Provides for the Sitting of Immi-
grants.-Nvill Prohibit only the
Vicious and Worthless.

WAsliIxGroS, Jan. % .-Rcprcscntatve
Owen, of Indiana, chairman of the COM
mittcc on Imm grafton and Naturalization,
presented this evening, under instructions
from his committee, bill for the rugula-
ton OF immigration, with Il report based
on the testimony taken in the invcstiga-
ton by Il Joint committee of the Senate
and House, covering the last ten months.
The committee has taken Il large amount
of testimony, some OF which brings to light
much information Of valuc touching the
immigration question.
The sittings Of the committee were held
in Washington, New York Boston, Chicago,
St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit, and on the
Pacific slope; but the report presented
makes no reference to the investigation
concerning Chinese immigration, the
chairman saying that report on that sub
icct would be presented later. The pre-
uonLcrance of sentiment, aS expressed by
those who were brought before the COM
mttce, is against any radical change III
the present laws; but it is confessed that,
whatever the spirit of those laws may be,
their enforcement seems to have been I'M
possible, and the recommendations OF the
committee are chiefly directed to this
point. The bill has the undivided support
of the House committee and as Its main lea
lures having been submitted to members
of the Senate committee, there is but Ut
tie doubt of ts-passage. All attempt Will
he made to call it up within the next few
days.
The bill contains most of the features
of the bill introduced by Mr.. Owen at the
opening of the session, but has been re-
yisel to some extent to meet the different
views OF various members of the commit
tee. 1t provides for the exclusion OF all
idiots, insane persons, paupcrs or persons
likely to become II public charge, persons
suffering from loatlsOme or contagious
diseases, those who have been convicted
of felony or other infamous crime or mis-
dcmeanor, involving moral turptitude, po-
lygamists, and all persons whose tickets
of passage have been paid for by others,
unless it is afiirmatiyely shown that they
do not belong to the excluded classes. Ii
also provides that in case of conviction TOR
the violation of the Alien Contract Labor
law, no compromise on the part OF the
Government shall be made.
An important feature Of the bill is
found IN section 3, which provides that
any laborers coming to this country in
response to advertisements in foreign pa
pcrs shall be treated as coming under a
contract, and in violation of the Alien
Contract law. This is the result OF the
committees investigation ut Boston and
Chicago. where associations of contract
ors and employers were endeasoring to
meet the force Of strike by advertising
for laborcrs in the newspapers OF Europe
and Canada.
The printed testimony shows that much
evidence was taken concerning the solicit

both as Il member Of the Committee on
Rules and as the presiding officer of the
House, will lose no opportunity to thwart
the silver men in their attempts TO get the
Silver Bill before that body. The ma
jorty of the committee will stand by him,
and unless the silver men arc strong
enough to take the matter out Of the
hands of the committee, it will get no
show in the present Congress. Should
the bill pass the House, the Post feels
justified in saving that it will meet with
an emphatic veto by the President, giving
his reasons why such financial legislation
does not meet his approval. While the
President is strongly in favor Of the pass
age of the elections bill, and may have
received direct promise from the advo-
Gates of the Free Coinage Bill that they
will pass the former if the latter can be-
come Il law, he can not by that method be
brought to sign the Free Coinage Bill.
