New YoRK, May 13.-The consul for

never shown any tendency in that direc-
ton. They have the sympathy of the
whole people in their enterprise. "
Mr.. Canton thought mob violence against
the Americans very impropable, because
the latter were better liked by the Nicar-
aguans than any other nationality. The
revolutiOnists, he said, had no need of ap-
plying to the Americans for pecuniary aid.
He said that the revolutionists had all the
money and arms they needed, whereas the
government was financially crippled.

MANY MORE BANKS LIKELY TO FAIL.
The Columbin's Collapse Reveals Bad
Methods of Ranking.

CHICAGO, May 13--The failure of the
Columbia National bank has disclosed a
system of shystering without parallel in
American banking The president and
manager of the Columbia is known to have
organized about fifty some concerns at in
significant points in Indiana and Ohio, all
OF which were correspondents of the broken
bank, and it is scarcely likely that any of
them will survive. But as the places are
at places where there is little business, the
moral effect is likely to be more serious
than the actual losses.
The Columbia had very little business in
Chicago and such rs it had was chiefly
with customers who, like the bank were
without commercial standing, hence the
failure was not felt in reputable business
circles, and had it occurred at any other
time would have been forgotten in half an
hour
At present however, there is a very ner-
vous feeling, and trihing failure had an
adverse influence by increasing distrust
where there is no occasion for it. This is
duly appreciated 10y the strong banks, and
they will do all they can to restore econf-
