PUEBLO BANKS CLOSE.
Runs Are Made on Them and Three Shut
Their Doors.


Their Doors.
PUEBLO, Colo, July 5.-The bank
panic did not reach Pueblo until this
morning, then it came with a vengeance.
When the American National bank
opened for business a large numbar of
depositors were waiting to take out their
money A notice posted up stated that
TIE bank would commence business
agaiu soon and that its assets were
3, zoo, 600 and liabilities $780, 600.
Runs commenced on both the Western
National and First National. The West
ern National closed its doors before noon.
They have deposits of over 81 600, 900 and
were always considered very strong.
Hundreds stood in and about the First
National bank all day and Gepositors
were paid as fast as the paying teller
could handle them. The general expec-
tation is that the First National will be
able to pay creditors in full when called
for and that they cannot be forced to
close.
The Central National closed at noon.
Assets abount $4,000 and liabilities
about SO, 200.
A run was made on the Public Savings
bank but they took advantage of the law
which allows them sixty days. The bank
is regarded as perfectly safe. There is a
much better feeling this evening and the
worst is believed to be past. Each OF the
closed banks can pay in full as soon as
they can realize on collateral.
The Bank of Florence, at Florence,
Colorado. closed its doors today. 1t was
a branch of the American National Bank
of Pueblo. Assets and liabilities are I'M
known but it is claimed creditors will be
maid in full.

A CURIOUS REQUEST.
1t Is Made by Prisoner in the Montana
Penitentiary.

Pen1Uentlary.
HELENA, Mont, July 5.-[Special. J.
The governors Office today received a
curious request from the Deer Lodge
penitentiary. 1t was from DR.. NJ. L.
Toneck whose term for numerous for
geries expires in September. When sem
tence began Toneck's flowing hair and
whiskers were cut off short according to
prison regulations.
In view of the fact that hisitime expires
in two months the doctor asks the prison
board to make a rule allowing his hair
and whiskers to grow out again so he may
appear as himself when he leaves Deer
Lodge.
Accompanying his request is a note
from the warden OF the penitentiary say
ing that when the doctor is discharged
from prison, officers from New York state
are expected to be in waiting with re-
QUESTION papers to take him back there
to answer more charges of forgery.
The doctor cut quite swath here some
years ago with big dinners and recep-
tions which it was discovered later
were paid for from the proceeds Of
forgeries.

THE WHITE METAL.

a Statement Showing the Amount Offered

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Inquiry at the
treasury department today as to whether
the amount of silver offered the govern

veloped the fact that for the first six
months of the current calendar year
offers aggregated 50, 600, 900 ounces, while
for the same period last year they were
only As, $50. 600, showing an excess for the
corresponding period of this year of
$3.50, COO, which would indicate that the
production of silver was not falling off in
the United States. The amount OF silver
bullion imported for the first six months
of the current calendar year, including
that in ores, was s, Al, 600 ounces, while
there has been exported IL 1865, 600. OF
the amount CT silver offered to the gov
eminent during this period q 200, 900
ounces were purchased.
A proposition which is now talked of is
to adopt a resolution at the extra session
giving the President power to suspend
until such time as he may see tit the pur-
chase of silver bullion, is one that does
not meet with approval, and silver men
say they would fight such proposition

lightweight Bodies Have Been Recovered
Thus Far.

ing the living miners and recovering the
bodies of the dead, is being pursued as
rapidly as possible in Ingramr's colliery :,
Yorkshire, the scene of yesterdays ex-
plosion. The miners are working their
way into the farthermost workings as ex-
peditiously as can be expected In view of
the fact that they have to remove an enor-
nous quantity of de bris from the gallery.
Thus far the bodies of thirty eight dead,
some terribly crushed or burned, have
been sent to the surface. The air in the
pit is comparatively good today, and this
leads to the hope that some of the men
may have reached places of safety and ara
still alive. 1t is believed that of lao men
in the mine at the time OF the explosion,
10 are dead.
| Late this evening the rescuers had
brought eighty eight bodies to the sur
face. Two men were brought up in an
unconscious condition. but still breath
ing, and hopes are entertained that they
will recover. Six men who sustained nc
| injury, but were imprisoned behind de-
bris, were dug out this evening. Nc
reason is given for the explosion, but the
conjecture is that it was caused by care
lessness on the part of one of the miners
in opening a lamp.

cued from the mine and all hope for 9th.

Liquidation

The American Savings Bank Goes Into
Liquidation
OMAHA, Neb., July 5.-The American
Savings bank has gone into voluntary
liquidation and asked the state banking
board to wind up its affairs. This action
is due to the fact that the American Loan
and Trust company which was placed in
the hands of a receiver this afternoon at
the instance of directors of the concern
the company being the principal stock
holder in the savings bank. The failure
OF the Investment company is attributed
to the failure of the Omaha and South
Texas Land company.

of the concerns embarrassed, had paid
up capital of 800, 600, the savings bank
was an off-shoot with a capital stock of
500, 600 which was paid in. o. Nj. Car
ter was president of both institutions.
Since the failure of the McCague
bank the American Savings has
been affected to reduction
of deposits to $50, 900. The remaining
securities amounting to 1858, OGG are of the
very best. The total liabilities amount
to but S153, 600.
Carter gave a mortgage on his resi-
dence yesterday for $4,000 TO protect
eastern creditors from whom money was
secured. No statement of the bank S
exact condition can be obtained tonight.

on the check being paid in cash.
One of the most influential members Of
the clearing house said this afternoon

actual scarcity of currency, buf if every
body keeps on talking about it there Will
coon be one. The banks have got plenty
OF cash, but they are attempting to hoard
their gold.'

dustry. The right of protection extended
to the open sea and even to the territory

of the sealing industry was the chief con-
sideration in the purchase of Alaska by
