A BIG BANK FAILURE.
The keystone Bank of Philadelphia
Closes Its Doors.

The keystone Bank of Philadelphia
Closes Its Doors.
PHILADELPHIA, March H20.-Shortly af-
ter the Keystone National bank opened
this morning, the iron doors were low
cred, and the following notice was
placed on them:
"This bank is closed by order OF the
comptroller of the currency.
(Signed) N. p. DREW,
National Bank Examiner"
The closing of the bank was surprise
to most of the depositors. During the
financial stringency the latter part of
last year, there were rumors affecting
this banks solvency, and heavy run
occurred, but the institution tided over
and was thought to be in good financial
condition. The largest depositor is the
city of Philadelphia, which has about
100000 in the bank. The authorized
capital of the bank is 100000; a sur
plus OF $1Q0, 900 is claimed.
No statement OF the liabilities and as
sets is obtainable. 1t is said that the
bank was closed by the comptroller by
reason Of its reserve funds having fallen
below the amount required by the ma
tional banking law. The bank has de-
posits amounting to about $1,40O,O00,
and it is claimed that it has assets suffi-
cient to meet this amount.
1t is said the bank owes the Clearing
House association about $4,000, which
is part of the money advanced by the
association to assist the bank when the
run was made on it in December, last.
All information regarding the closing OF
the bank is withheld by the bank Off
cials, beyond that contained in a letter
signed by the president, which said the
repayment to the clearing house of a
very large amount of loan
certificates kept the legal reserve
of cash below the average required by

A New Death valley Explorer.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, March N2O.-J.
Glory, of the signal service here, started
last evening for California, under Qrders
from headquarters. He is directd to
proceed to Death Valley in the south
western part of the California desert and

Paris Socialists.

PARIS, March 20.-Many socialist
meetings were held today, and all those
present favored the idea of gigantic
May-day demonstration. At one of the
meetings, resolutions were passed pledg-
ing the socialists to march over the pros
trate bodies of all who interfered with
the procession which they intend to
have.
The police have seized at Caron's resi-
dence, list containing the names OF

Associated Press Dispatches
LONDON, March 20.-Michael Davitt,
in an interview with the Associated
Press correspondent, today, contemptu-
ously referred to what he classes Par
nell's bluff. Davitt said he did not in
tend to be candidate for election in the
division of Cork city, which Parnell
now represents. Davitt added that two
reasons caused him to make this de-
cision: 1.-THE first" said he, is that
Parnell will not resign, for he knows if
he does resign, he will be beaten should
he come forward for reelection. The
second reason is, / am not anxious
to enter parliament now or in the future,
though am unwilling to bind myself to
remain in this frame of mind for all
time. The Parnellites had arranged
for meeting at Cork for ST. Patrick's
day, when, according TO custom, all the
societies marched through the streets.
Parnell seeing the great stir was induced
to issue his challenge to Healy. He is
now anxious to back out
Referring to Parnell's delegation to
tiC OhltCO EtdtCo, DdNloS AhC
gentlemen comprising Mr.. ParnelPs
deputation to the United States, say 80
per cent of the Irish-Americans are sup
porting Parnell. This is great exag
geration. The number should be nearer
per cent. BY far the greatest num-
Der of Irishmen in England are against
Parnell. My advice to the workingmen
is to abstain from strikes for three years
to organize and to increase their funds,
then they will be in a good position to
place their demands before the en-
ployers."
AN UNAUTHORIZED CONTRIBUTION.
New YORK, March 20.-Patrick Glea
son, president of the municipal council
of the Irish national leaghe, issued card
tonight, that the contribution OF $500 to
the Parnellite envoys last night, by the
Eighth-ward branch, was entirely unau-
thorized, and that he demanded full
explanation. The money. he says, was
subscribed for the use of the league as
