claiming that the institution was insol-
vent. having Yesterday drawn draft on
the Citizens National bank. of Tacoma,
when it was known at the time that the
Orting bank had no funds on deposit here.
The draft was protested and the bank at
Ortng closed
About fifteen months ago the First Bank
of orting was organized with capital of
$4,000. Harry Ball. of this city, was
president and r. d. Warrington, formerly
connected with the Tacoma National
bank, was chosen cashier. At no time dur
ing its existence, it is said did the bank
have on deposit more than $4,000 Loose
management is intimated, and it is feared
Orting depositors will loose savings to the
extent of half the capital stock of the
bank. Mr.. Ball says he bad partially ar
ranged TO transfer what little stock he
held to Mr.. Warrington, and did not pay
much attention to the banks affairs.
President Ball said tonight;
The hank Is solvent and the stockholders will
lose nothing. 1t il thought the closing OF its
doors is strange bit Of fuanciertng, as ITS chat
tells will cover all liabilities. A for the pro-
tested draft, he claims that Lotenz had IL drawn
for himself, and az once applied for areceiver
when IL was protested. This was hasty aud un-
warranted.

mcnt of tho funds, had loaned them on hop
ranches and other good property Last Novem-
Der, when he returned from the East, Narrtng-
ton had ovetdrawn Sli,000 at the National Bank

demanded n settlement, and Warrington LAS

in Ireland and the relations of the Amer
lean state legislatures TO the supreme
court. which had only the power to nullify
an act passed by the legislature in excess
of its powers.
I. j. sullivan said he recognized in the
insulting safeguard of the bill the hand of
Lord Salisbury. who bad dubbed the
Irishmen "IIottcntots" and "lopers."
Sexton said that never in his parlis-
mentary experience had he seen so incom-
petent bill.
William Redmond regarded the bill as
deathbed repentance, because the govern
ment did not care TO appeal TO the country
on its coercive policy alone; it was the
most studied insult Balfour had ever lev
eled at the Irish people.
The bill passed the first reading, and
Balfour fixed the second reading for
March 3.
The Liberals are exultant regarding the
bill as final blow to the governments
chances in the coming general election.
Both sections Of the Irish members intend
10 oppose the bill to the utmost.

The Continuation of 4I-a Per Cents.

WASHINGTON CITY. Feb. ls.-The secretary of
the treasury has written a letter to the speaker
OF the House in response TO the House resolu-
tion calling on him for information whether Mt
any time since the a. per cent bonds became
due there have been sufficient funds in the
treasury to pay the same, and, ii so, by what au-
thority he assumed to continue any of such
bonds at 2per cent. interest. and why the same
were not all paid at the time said bonds
were due. The secretary says the AZ
per cents were redeemabie at the
pleasure of the United States on
three months notice to holders He shows that
there were sufficient funds in the treasury to
pay the outstanding bonds, but says 1t was
deemed prudent and profitable to the govern
ment to continue a portion, and the authority
under which the bonds were permitted to CON
tinue ID contained in the act which authorized
their issue. The secretary calls attention to the
fact that the Forty-Seyeuth congress approved
the continuance OF and per cent. bonds at
Der cent.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL,
Democratic Leaders in Congress Prevent
Action in Pushing Work.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. Is-tSpecial. 1-Scua-
tor Allen was asked today If he knew what ac-
ton the present congress would take upon the
Nicaragua canal bill 1t has been fully six
weeks since the senator delivered his speech in
favor OF this measure, and since that tirne
nothing of public nature in the matter has
been transacted. 1t is not known whether the
advocates of the bill are making any great
effort in its behalf at this time. If this matter
is slumbering it is probably due to the fact that
its friends fear that it will be impossible to Sc
cure its passage in this congress. The indica-
tions at this time are that no measure of any
great Importance is to be passed during the first
session of this congress at any rate.
Up to the present time the Democratic leaders
have prevented the transaction of any active
business, and it is probable that the
programme that they outlined in the
early days OF the session will be
followed out pretty closely until the usual sum-
mer recess is taken. If this proves to be n fact
1t does not seem possible that the Nicaragua
canal bill will be given very much considera-
ton until after congress re-convenes in Decen-
