Bank Has Been Oversta ted.
 BOSTON, Nov. Director Jonas H. French of the suspended Maverick Ma tional Bank is free man. After long discussion before Judge Nelson, in the United States Court his bail was re- duced from $75, 900 to $50, 900, and John Stetson, the banker and theatrical man. ager, was accepted as bondsman. There was a rumor that French and President Potter intended to run away to Canada, and United States District Attorney AL len intimated in court that he thought French and Potter intended to leave tn @ city.
 The money in the Maverick Bank at the time of closing it's doors has been overstated. The gold and legal tenders amounted to $l,00O, 900, miscellaneous funds to $150, 900 and exchanges for clearings $500, 900, or total of about $1, 500, 900. There was very little money in New York.

naand for Protection HOnored.
 SANTIAGO DE CHILL, Nov. Wild stories have been in circulation here for several days to the effect that 8 con spiracy had been formsd among the refugees in the American Legation for the assassination of Colonel Canto, who so successfully led the gressionalists during the recent insurrection. 1
 As a result of these reports a mass meeting of citizens was held in the Plaza to denounce the conspiracy and to take whatever action was deemed nece ssary.
 Minister Egan notified the Junta that threats of an attack upon the Legation had been made with the avowed pur- pose of securing the refugees. In very firm times Mr. Egan announced that the Junta would be held strictly responsible for any damage which might be done to the Legation or any harm that might befall any of it's inmates. The Junta promptly dispatched troop of cavalry to the United States Legation for its protection.
 At the Plaza meeting many incsudiary speeches were made and the United States Legation, and it's troop of so- called called conspirators were severely denounced. Just before the close of the meeting government officials distributed a circular among the crowd which an nounced that the conspiracy stories were devoid of all foundation. This h ad a soothing effect upon the excited citi zens and they dispersed to their homes without making any demonstration whatever against the Legation.

CLOSING ARGUMENT
MT. Hensel Sums Up in the
 Treasury Investigation.
THE TESTIMONY REVIEWED..
He Holds That It DiaclOses Ineficiency
 on Boyers Part

Tells the Senate that the State Treasurer
 Utterly Neglected to Enforce the Law
 Regarding Quarterly Paymsnts-Boyer's
 Counsel to Reply to the Attorney
 General-Adjournme Until Tuesday.
 HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. 7.-Attorney- General HensePs argument in the Sen ate dealt principally with the points raised by the counsel for State Treas urer Boyer, claiming that the extra ses- sion had been called under mininterpre- tation of the Constitution as to the meaning of executive business, and that that body had no jurisdiction to inquire into the charges made by the Governor against the State Treasurer and Auditor General.
 After the Attorney General concluded his constitutional argument in the sup port of his claim that the Senate had jurisdiction, he proceeded to discuss the testimony and the facts of the case which he held fully disclosed at least in competency and inef1ciency on the part of the State Treasurer.
 He analysed MT. Boyer's admission of his knowledge of the law regarding quarterly payments, and his utter neg lect to enforce it, and for his personal | solicitation for the issue of the school warrants for the sole purpose of getting the money out of the State Treasury to evade and defeat the sinking fund law. If these admissions did not involve actual crime, or, if they could not be proved accessible to establish technical guilt, | they at least disclosed such incapacity | as furnished reasonable cause for the exercise of the Senate's power.
 In conclusion, Mir. Hensel reminded the Senate that whatever action 1t might take, it's decision could not fail to be of | great importance and lasting influence in the Commonwealth, and they should not permit themselves to be deluded by the portentous properties of the effects of establishing arbitrary executive power, for, after all, no official could be actually removed except by the law of the land. Whatever the Senate might transmit to the Governor, or whatever action he might take, the accused official, although technically removed by the Governor, might sit safely in his office and exer- else all it's franchises and privileges, without bolt or barricade, until the court of Dauphin county and the Supreme @ | Court of Pennsylvania had finally said that he had been legally and properly l removed.
 It was supposed that the Attorney Generals argument would close the case, so far as counsel was concerned, but the attorney of State Treasurer Boyer asked permission of the Senate to reply to the Attorney General. State Treasurer foyer is understood to be fa- vorabie to a decision of his case on it's merits and not on constitutional grounds.
 The Senate adjourned until Tuesday morning.

IRON SHIP CONSTRUCTION.
A New Invention That May Revolution

A New Invention That May ReyOIution-
 ize the Present Industry.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Patents in the United States and Canada have been issued to Herbert NJ. Griffiths, a carpen : ter in the United States Navy, for a simplified method of construction of iron ships. Patents are pending on the invention in France, Germany, Spain and Italy.
 The invention consists of an overlap ping of the iron plates at 8 reduction of 15 to 30 per cent. from the present cost of iron ship building, doing away en- tirely with the inside frame and lessen to minimum the liability of strain from shock. The plates, instead of being strapped together, as in the old way, are riveted to each contiguous plate.
 It has been said by prominent ship builders that Carpenter Griffith's idea is likely 10 revolutionize iron ship con struction. One prominent builder says Griffiths was twenty years ahead of the time.
 The patentee is 5 years old, and has been in the navy thirty years. He served in his official capacity a car. penter on the Chicago during Ler rece Tt service in the White Squadron.
