Bank Examiner Drew in his testimo-
ny said that the now fugitive president
of the bank (Marsh) had first told him
of tie overissued stock and that he told
MARSH it must be returned. This
took two weeks, which Mr. Drew ex-
planned by saying that much time and
work were necessary to get the
stock together. Mr. Drew said
that without the confession of
Marsh he would not have discov-
cred the deficit in the bank by means

Marsh was not arrested before he was

for the bank the money due it by the

The Minnesota Legislative Committee
Settles Down tn Business.
ST. PAUL, May 15.-The wheat in
spection investigating committee ap-
pointed by the last legislature met at
the capitol and made made consider
able progress during the day with the
examination of witnesses. There was q
full attendance OF The members of the
committee, and the first question to
come up was as to whether Erwin, the
attorney representing the grain growers
association should have power and au-
thority to summon and examine wit
nesses. Attorney General Clapp said he
had no objection to Mr.. Erwin being
allowed 10 assist in conducting the in
yeStigation, but this did not meet the
views of Gen. Barrett, who said the
grain growers wanted Mr.. Erwin vested
with full power and authority. The
matter was settled by Mr.. Erwin being
accorded the right to lay before the
committee the names of any witnesses
he might desire to have called and the
committee would act upon such names
as it might see fit.
Two Witnesses Testified.
Assistant Attorney General Childs
conducted the examination of witnesses,
and the whole day was taken up with
hearing the testimony of Pattison and
Lynch, formerly employees in the North
ern Pacific yard at Duluth. Both these
men testified before the house commit
tee, and there made several charges
against the elevator companies and
their employees, furnishing the greater
part of the foundation for the charge of
stealing wheat preferred against the
elevator people. In cross-examinatlon
they were somewhat mixed on some
points but stick to the main points, that
good wheat had been loaded at night and
shipped as screenings.
Inspected the Elevators.
DULUTH, Mimi, May 1S.-The COM
mittee Investigating the alleged wheat
steal of Duluth arrived here and pro-
ceeded to inspect Elevators E and D.
The committee first witnessed the hand
ling of grain at elevator E, and then
made a careful examination of the bins,
carefully inspecting the pockets at the
bottom from which the alleged stealing
occurred. Witness Ario was asked to
point out the defects in the bin but was
unable to do so, saying his testimony
had reference to the condition of the
bins in 1886. Elevator D was thor
oughly examined, also. After dinner
the state inspection Office was visited,
and the committee listened to long e3-
planation by Mr.. Causen of the manner
in which grain is inspected and ac-
counts are kept. The committee will
next meet in st. Paul.

NEW GILLIAN REPUBLIC.

insurgent Government TulIy Established
With Iquique as Capital.
! LONDON, May 19.-Advices from Chill
by way of Buenos Ayres state that Bal
maceda is concentrating his forces fol
an advance upon the revolutionists, and
that as soon as he receives the war yes,
sells built in France, he will attack the
insurgents by sea. The country from
the Atacama desert to the straits re-
mains faithful to Balmaceda, while the
insurgents are consolidating govern
ment in districts won from Peru in the
late war. They have practically estab-
lished new republic with Iquique as
the capital, while old Chill remains
true to the Balmaceda administration.
All the officers captured on both sides
have been shot, except in the case of a
captain named .Velaseo, who was ac'
eused of betraying. his post in Atacama
to the revolutionists, and who was
hanged after a brief courtmartial.
Nearly all the volunteers are from the
lower class of the population, who favor
the president, while the wealthier class
are, for the most part,in sympathy with
the insurgents. The latter have about
5000 troops and would have more. but
for the lack Of arms and ammunition.

up the Cha1les DEPARTED Sunday
night to restlme the chase. She steered
in southerly direction. The insurgent
man of war was lying at anchor off
Acapulco during the Charleston's stay.
An interview took place between the
two commanders in which the Chilian
said that the Itata would not be taken
while the Esmeralda foated. The
Charlestonis captain replied that it was
his orders to take the vessel at all haz-
yards. 1t is believed at Acapulco that
the Esmeralda met the Itata at sea and
supplied her with coal to continue her
voyage. The Esmeralaa is short of fuel.
Her stay at Acapulco is for the purpose
of procuring fresh supply, which ths
Mexican government has refused to sell
them. Nc further definite news of either
the Charleston or Itata is expected til
