Mckinley Bankrupt.

Through an Ohio bank failure Gov.
Mckinley of that state is rendered
penniless. He endorsed the paper of
the president Of bank, on the score
of friendship, not knowing of his
financial embarrassment. When the
crash came he imagined possibly he
was responsible for $15, 900 at the
outside. The notes which Mckinley
signed were brought to him from
time to time, and having explicit
confidence in the business integrity
of the men he gave them but passing
attention. He imagined that some of
the papers were simply short time re-
newals of first notes. Thus he was
imposed upon and duped until his
Liabilities were $95, 600, sum nearly
five times as large as he has saved
during the forty y-nine years of his life.
But he declares he will pay every
cent Of the big obligation before he
dies. To do it he must retire from the
governorship and begin over agar
without cent, and five times poorer
than when, after the war, he ploddeo
as prosecuting attorney OF Starl
county. Mrs. Mckinley has prop
erty which will net $75, 900 if solt
under the hammer. She proposes u
turn this over to the trustee. She !
an invalid, and her fortune came as
legacy from her father. Her friend
protest against allowing her means t
go to cancel the governors debts
fraudulently incurred by anothe
man, but she insists. Thus the tw

morrow when the opponents Of the
measure will endeayor to have q show

The bill as passed by the senate with
the request on its part for conference
with the house on the amendments
made by the senate, was received by
house this afternoon.
Under the rules it will lay on the
speakers table until tomorrow, when
in the absence Of some special motion
it will be referred to the committee on
agriculture, in which It originated, 1t
Is in order, however, for any member
to make some motion that will leave it
with the house to decide whether the
pro, ,forma reference to the agricultural
committee shall be made. It is probable
thatthe supporters OF the bill will de-
cideFto endeavor to send it to confer
ence at the earliest practicable moment.
