LINCOLN, Neb.. March 49, On Tues
day next Gen. Thayer will move in the
supreme court of the state for the re-
opening of the case Of Thayer VS.. Boyd.
This announcement m as a surprise
to the people of Nebraska, but it is
thoroughly reliable. When the mandate
from the supreme court of the United
States was served on the judges Of the
circuit court last Tuesday Gen. Thayer
was out of the city and was unrepre-
sented by counsel. The ex-governor re-
turned last night and expressed surprise
at the issuance OF the mandate. He had
no knowledge OF it's presence and thinks
the court is in duty bound to reopen the
case upon his application. Gen. Thayer
says he is impelled to this act by the
earnest solicitation Of the leading men OF
the state.

a Paris Bank Fails.

PARIS, March 10. The Banque Gene
Chimini de per ct Industrie suspended
today. One of the directors has commit
ted suicide, two have absconded and one
has been arrested. The bank specialized
in French, Spanish and Russian securi-
ties. The liabilities amount to 2i,OOO,OOO
francs and the assets to 100000. The
failure had no effect on the bourse.
The reason assigned for the suicide
and flight are that the authorities are
about to institute legal proceedings
against the directors Of the bank or the
charge of fraudulent bankruptcy and OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
The bank dealt largely in the French
national loan Of 1891, and received sub
scriptions for the loan for upwards OF
two billion francs. 1t is alleged that in
stead of applying the money thus OBJ
tanned to the purchase Of shares OF the
loan. the directors OF the bank used
the fund for other purposes. generally
in industrial and mining ~speculatiOns'
In July next the bank would have been
obliged to turn over to the subscribers
to the fund the stock certificates, the
money for which the directors had spent
in speculation. As the directors had M
other securities to meet the deficit. AND
AS the capital Of the concern amounted
70 only 6,0OO,OOO francs. the bank would
be placed in a very embarrassed cOndi
ton when the time arrived for settling
with it's creditors. The bank did con
siderable business, its dealings being
spread over a large part Of the country
IL had branches in sixteen provincial
towns and had two branches besides th'
central Office in this city. It's clientag'
was very extensive and the suspension
of the bank caused much excitement
among the large number " persons VIII,
placed money In the hands OF the banE
for investment.

CLEVELAND DENIES
He Ever Wrote q Letter Declining to
Let His Name lie Mentioned.

LAKEWOOD. N. j., March 1S.-In an
interview Mr.. Cleveland says concerning
the story that, previous to his having
written a letter to Gen. Bragg of Mis-
souri,, in which he asked to be informed
and il the people SC willed it he would
accept the democratic nomination for
the presidency, he had written a letter
to the Associated press in which he posi-,
lively declined to be a candidate, which
his wife had persuaded him to suppress.
"Why," said the ex-presldent, 81
never dreamed of writing such
a letter. So they say Mrs.
Cleveland induced me to suppress
the letter that was never written. That
silly story is absurd from the main fact
that Mrs. Cleveland never interferes in
political matters in which | am con-
ccrned. The only letter l have written
of late was one to Gen. Bragg, and that
was written in a hurry and just when ]
was on the point of leaving for my gun
ming trip. That letter, which the gen
eral has seer fit to give to the press, e
pressed my views plainly. ! did not
think at the time | wrote the letter that
it would ever be used in the manner it
has OF | might have taken more time in
answering.

ENTHUSIASTIC RUSSIANS.


LlBNu, March Is. The enthusiasm
occasioncd here by the receipt Of the
princcly gift to Russian famine sufferers
sent by Americans, shows 10 signs Of
abatement, though the Indiana, the
steamer that brought the -four and pro-
visions, was discharged yesterday and
much of the cargo is now on its way to
the famine-stricken provinces. The en-
ploycs in the arsenal here, to the number
OF 1000, chartered seven steamers and
today they went out TO where the
Indiana is lying at anchor. for the pur-
pose of greeting Capt. Sargent. The
steamers were decorated with flags and
bunting and when they reached the
Indiana it seemed as though ordinary
expressions would not suffice to give vent
to their enthusiasm. Steam whistles
shrieked and people yelled and shouted
and cheered for the captain, America
and everything American.
