PHILADELPHIA, May 2s.-During the ex-
pose of the business methods of the Key
stone bank and City Treasurer Bardsley

pleasant connection with them, and in
consequence has since lost s1,0oo,o0o of
deposits. Today President Lewis and
Vice-President Myers have resigned.
From few developments that took
place in the affairs of the Spring Garden
bank today, it is evident that when the
full story of the banks management is
told, it will rival that of the
looted Keystone bank. Receiver Fisher
said today that the further he examined
into the affairs the blacker the outlook
became for the depositors. Much of tho
collateral is of the most dubious character
A member of the depositors' investigating
committee investigating the affairs of the
bank, said that among the collateral of tho
bank were two notes, one for $4,000 and
the other for $4,000, drawn by person
who has no existence
The suspension of the Spring Garden
bank has been far-reaching in its effects,
and many business houses have been
seriously crippled. Yesterday the Ameri-
can Machine Company was forced 20

today the Millard Cliff Cracker Company

The oakesdale Shooting,

OAKEsDALE, May 25.-At a mass-meeting OF
the people of 0akesdale, composed of more than
sixty OF its best and most substantial citizens,
the following resolutions were by a standing
vote unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That we extend to our town council
aud town officers our thanks for their recent ac-
tion in enforcing the ordinances of the town
against Sunday selling of liquor and keeping
saloons open after Ii O'Clock at night.
Second-That we heartily condemn the con-
duct OF those persons who, by their incendiary
language and open defiance OF the town author
itics, caused the recent unfortunate shooting on
our rstreets
Third-That we pledge ourselves as law
abiding community TO stand by the marshal
and his deputies recently arrested for perform
ing their sworn duty, and will defend them in
the courts to the full extent of our means.
Fourth-That we deeply regret that the press
OF spokane, as well as that of our own county,
should have published the untruthful and con-
cocted accounts of the matter sent them by in
terested parties, and we characterize said ac-
eopnis and variations so published as false
and defamatory OF our town, and as being pub
nshed only for the purpose of manufacturing
public opinion in advance of the facts becom-
ing known; and We aver that the entire trouble
was caused by the evil advice of two or three
pettifogging attorneys, and the lawless acts
which occurred are due entirely to them.

WASHINGTON CITY, May 2a.-The presi-
dent today received dispatch from Min
lister Lincoln at London. saving official
notice had been given in the commons
that bill would be introduced on Monday
to authorize the queen to prohibit British
SUBJECTS from taking seals in Bering sea-
The question engaged the presidents
principal attention today, and he had
conferences with the cabinet. One point
considered was the advisability of sending
war vessels TO Bering sea to reinforce
revenue cutters in preventing the taking
OF seals in case a closed season is decided
upon. This fleet would. of course. CO.

that there are three naval vessels that
could be prepared for this service without
much delay.
The news of Goschen's action was re-
celved with satisfaction at the state depart
ment. Generally it is taken as an indica-
tion that the British government is pre-
pairing to accept the condition imposed by
the president as preliminary to arbitra-
ton, and will cause British vessels to re-

by Goschen. probably means the remain
der of this season. During this time the
arbitrators-for it is to be presumed the
British governments action carries with
1t acceptance of the terms of arbitration
held out by the president dur
ing the correspondence, will have an
opportunity TO try to reach an
agreement. In the event the point OF ar
bitration is not reached it may be that
some time will be consumed in sending an
expert commission to Alaska to investi-
gate the actual condition of the rookeries
and settle the questions which are still at
issue between the governments of Great
Britain and the United States as to whether
what is known as 'pelagic sealing" or
killing seals in the open sea on their way
to and from the shore rookeries, is fully as
destructive of seal life as has been repre-
sented by the United States treasury
agents.
The revenue cutter Bear will sail from
Port Townsend Saturday on her annual
cruise in Alaskan waters.
LONDON, May 2S.-Goschen, chancellor
of the exchequer, in the commons this
afternoon gave notice that the government
would introduce bill Monday next which
would prohibit British subjects from catch
ing seals in Bering sea for period the ex-
tent of which will be stated later.

some 30 per cent. less. The river has been
rising for some time, but the expected run of
