r. 3. NemitZ, agent Tor a number of Swiss
exhibitors, for selling a diamond brooch,
contrary To law. all foreign gods being

the officers had the right. to arrest the Of
Tending agent. they had no right TO take
possession of the entire exhibit. He,
therefore, at once closed the exhibit and
telegraphed the Swiss Minister at Wash
ington, stating his action.

commiss Toner will offer a resolution that
all foreign exhibits be clused until tire

MUCH TOO TRUSTFUL.
What Carried Down the Ma
tionaI Bank of Deposit.
The Western Banks Went by the
Board and Their Correspondent
Could Not Stand.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

NEW YORK, May %. The National
Bank of Deposit, at 1875 Broadway. is in
trouble. The bank cleared through the
Sesbosrd Bank and acted as correspon-
dent in this city for the Zimri Dwiggins
chain of financial institutions in the West.
The Seaboard National has notified the
Bank of Deposit that it would not clear for
it hereafter.
The National Bank of Deposit was char
tered in 1887 with a capital OF $500. 000, and
according to the latest statement it had a
net surplus of $4,000 and undivided profits
amounting to So. 300 The president is
Lewis E. Ransom. The bank is small
concern and never figured to any extent in
the financial world. The cashier said the
bank was not notified until $3.50 this after
noon that the Seaboard would not clear
for it tomorrow.
The Clearinghouse Committee was i'm
mediately request ed to Inspect the assets
of the bank and its decision will govern
whether the bank Iiquidates or not. The
cashier thought the bank was perfectly
solvent.
The Seaboard Bank. while not disputing
the solvency Of the Bank of Deposit, said
the latter had become so pressed for ready
funds that it deemed its course in refusing
to clear for it a wise one.
The board of directors of the National
Bank of Deposit, at the conclusion of its
session this evening, announced that.
under the advice of the Clearing-h ouse
committee. the bank had decided to go
into liquidation. The depositors will be
paid in full.
President Ransom said: 1.-TWO weeks
ago the banks in the interior began to
withdraw their balances, and to-day the
Seaboard Bank, without notification, re-
fused longer to clear for US. We have n
balance of $4,000 with the Seaboard.
Our assets consist of the best commercial
paper, but it cannot be at once realized
on"
The report of the Clearing house CON-
mittee implies that the capital, surplus
and undivided profits have been used up,
and the story in circulation was that the
bank was carrying good deal of Dwig-
gins paper.
Cashier Hanford was chief clerk in the
Comptroller's Office at Washington under
the last administration.

SAN BERNARDINo, May 22.-The little

which swept away some of the most pre-
tentious buildings in the place. The blaze

house belonging to Lord. TO the gro cry
and merchandise store of Med Hender-
son. and was finally subdued among the
lumber piles adjoining the station. 1t was

the part of the citizens and the liberal use
of water that the depot was saved.

Progress of the Oregon
Freight War.
BOATS ON THE WILLAMETTE.
The Southern Pacific Has Evidently
Reused Competitor Worthy
of It's Steel.
Special to The MORNING CALI.

CORVALLIS, Or, May 22.-The cut rates
OF the Oregon Pacific between San Fran
cisco and Willamette Valley points went
into effect to-day. San Francisco drum
mers were hustling through the valley yes
terday telegraphing orders to their houses.
From the general outlook the cut promises
to be a strong one. The Oregon Pacific is
wellforti6ed. and from the weIl-known
staying qualities of the present manage
ment of the corporation, it is not thought
they will stop the fight until their rights
are respected The Southern Pacific mas
not treated them as it should.
The trouble grows out of an order issued
by Superintendent Fields as to how the
Oregon Pacific must deliver the Southern
Pacific its shipments. When the order was
issued General Superintendent Mulcahy
of the Oregon Pacific wired Mr. Fields tha
he thought the order too exacting and
asked that it be modified. This order was
TO effect the delivery of freight at Harris
burg. Mr.. Fields replied that he insisted
upon the order and would carry it further
and make the same order apply to all ship
ments delivered al Albany, 10 which Mr.
Mulcahy wired that the two companies
might as well fight it out now as any other
time. and Immediately ordered the cut in
rates.
When Mr.. Mulcahy was seen to-day he
had little to say upon the matter. other
than that his company was ready for any
emergency. Ee thought a better under
standing between the two companies
should exist, and had used every posi- BILE
means 10 this end, but without result. He
said the objection and restriction placed
upon the Oregon Pacific by the Southern
Pacific was unjust and unreasonable. and
for his part he eauld not understand where
the Southern Pacific gained anything. The
restriction order gave it no revenue.
Neither does its obstruction policy.
Should it delay cur Shipments" said
Mulcahy, I'VE have the redress which one
railroad company has to resort to as against
another. This rate-cuttng will go on until
such time as the Southern Pacific meets US
half way. Our position is we'll fortified.
and l am willing to take chances on the
result. 1tis surely great chance for the
San Francisco merchants to get some trade
in the Willamette Valley"
The Oregon Pacific made arrangements
to-day to begin running its river steam
boats on Monday next through 10 Eugene
on the Willamette River. The Govern
ment work will have been completed by
that time.
This, is one of the strongholds of the
Oregon Pacific in this fight. and reaches
the Southern Pacifc's best territory. Thus
ii will be seen the Oregon Pacific is COM
pettor against the Southern Pacific from
San Francisco to all points north of Ash
land. as - GTCgS tlga. .s,5s6
