Because Withdrawals Consider
ably Exceed Deposits.
Special to the Globe
ROCHESTER, Mimi, April 9.-Shortlv
before noon today the following notice
was posted on the entrance to the Union
National bank in this city:
"Owlng to rapid and continued with
drawal of deposits, and the impossibility
of collecting paper at this season of the
year fast enough to meet demands upon
US, the directors have resolved to sus-
pend payment. The bank has sufficient
assets, mainly in notes given by farmers
and business men in the county, to pay
all IL owes. and no depoSitOr will lose a
dollar"
The above notice is briefly all that
needs to be said. The scare on the
part OF depositors has caused gradual
withdrawal. and the bank was simply
unable to collect as fast as it paid out.
The bank has sustained no loss, has no
bad debts outstanding. and the pay
ment of every depositor in full is only
question of time. Business will be
resumed as soon as sufficient time has
elapsed for collections to be made. The
posting of the notice created no excite
ment further than conversation about
the street. aud the other banks kept
open during the noon hour, when Or
dinaTIly they would be closed.

SENATE CAUCUS.
Democrats Unable to Agree on
ANY Line of Policy.

democrats Unable to Agree on
Any Line of Policy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Almost every
Democratic senator was present at the
party caucus this morning. The meet
ing was convened at 1920 a. NJ, and
when the honr of noon arrived, nothing
definite had been accomplished and an
adjournment was taken until immedi-
ately after the adjournment of the SEN
ate.
The resolution of Mr.. Hale (Rep.) yes
terday, which so suddenly and unex-
pectedly brought the question of speedy
repeal of the Sherman law before the
senate, it was thought by some Demo
Gratis, placed them Ill position where a
conference became necessary in order
that the policy of the party might be
discussed and unanimity of action
agreed upon. As might be expected,
with the Democrats divided upon this
subject as were the Republicans, there
was diversity of opinion, and
vast amount of unlmpor-
tant talk was INDUCED in, with
the inevitable result of nothing
being determined upon when the neon
hour came around. The discussion was
decidedly animated; at times there was
tinge of sarcasm in the tones of those
who were inclined to look upon the
attitude of the president, as defined in
his message, as being in opposition to
the platform of the Democratic party.
No definite proposition was advanced,
and when the caucus adjourned it was
just as much at sea as when it was
called together.
The Afternoon Caucus
was almost as unproductive of results
as the morning session. Most of the
time was consumed in the expression of
individual views, which clearly demon
strated that each element in the party
was firmly welded to its own notions.
One senator, who occupies high posi-
ton in the finance committee and
whose leaning towards free silver is
pronounced, declared positively, You
can set it down MS certainty that the
Sherman act will not be repealed un-
conditionally."
On the other hand some senators who
have sided with the president said
rather despondently; that while no tan
gible advance had been made toward
point where the party could be
regarded as united, they had not abau-
doned hope that the efforts in that di-
rectlon might eventually result in sue
| ce0s.
1t is gathered from this that the con-
ditional repeal proposition il gaining
