WORK STOPPED AT BILLINGS.


Tn. state Forced To suspend tho Con-
struction of the New Prison.
specal Dispatch Ia the standard.
HELENA. Aug. Is.-The state board OF
prison commissioners recently counter.
manded tho contract for hauling sand to
the grounds selected for the eastern state
prison at Billings. Representative Bah
cock wrote from Billings To know the
reason why. as the action of the board i'm
dicated that no work would be done this
year on the new prison. Attorney Cen
erai Haskell replied for the board to-day.
Hc said il would not have been compelled
to suspend work on :he eastern prison but
for the fact that the failure of four banks
IN which the state had S.2,Uo. left IL prac-
tically without cash to 70 on with inn
proyemcnts. The members of the board
don't think the money SO tied up It'll be
available for this year, aud what money
they have mus, be used to strengthen the
prison a, Deer Lodge. The discontinuance
of work. he says, is not necessarily an
abandonment. IL taxes this year don't
run more than 500 short of what Is an-
led. tue board will have money for
the Billings prison I'm issA.

LEMARs, Iowa. Aug. 1s.-The four banks
of Lemars did not open for business this
morning. On the door OF each was posted
a notice stating that owing to the con-
stant withdrawal of deposits this bank
was closed by order of the directors aud
all deposiiors will be paid in fall. Tho
Lemars National bank informed the other
banks last night that il would be unable
to open this morning, and rs means of
self protection the other banks closed.
The assets of all the banks will be far in
excess of the Liabilities. The Lcmars Ma

closed because of the impossibility Of got
ting cash. All are IN good condition for
ordinary times, but the Withdrawals of
cash have been steady and collaierals

WASHINGTON. Aug. Is. - The senate
finance committee decided to report the
repeal bill to-day. There was no scnsa.
tional development in the committee
room. but both sides remained firm aud
unyielding. the minority of silver men
contenting themselves with the statement
that they would carry to the senate the
fight that was hopeless III the committee.
There has been some quiet talk among
tho ant.-silver men OF the comm ittec as TO
the chances for a vote and iinal action on
the bill. and il is ascertained that while
they feel pretty certain the bill can pass
the house, they appear by no means
sanguine of the senate. There seems 10
be a feeling that the bill OF Vest TO es.
tablish coinage at a ratio of - TO ! may
possibly be successful. In that event.
even. they look Tor the final triumph of
the administration measures. The two
bills would then 90 to conference. and in
that stage of the proceedings the senate
could. without sacr iicing tue dignity which
il 50 xealously guards. rcccde from lis
position and adopt the hill OF the house.
II is believed that the mcuibcrs favor Ible
to free coinage. having by that time put
themselves ON record, would be willing to
vote to recede aud the straight repeal
would go to the president for his signature.

UDONNELL ABSENT.
Reorganization Of the Democratic
County committee, Therefore.
Goes Over.

There was a meeting of the Democratic
County Committee last night. but the
lively times which have been in contem-
plation did not materialize.
In the first place Chairman M. J.
O'Donnell was not present. The Chair
man is an important factor in the County
Committee, and without him the other
members do not meddle with the affairs
of the committee.
BoUToN'S RESOLUTION.
Committeeman Bouton's resolution to
have the chairman appoint a committee
Of eleven. consisting of one member of
the party from each Assembly District,
and that COMMITTEES TO then appoint u
committee of twenty-two. consisting or
two men from each Assembly District,
was to have been discussed. but it was
rot.
CANNOT AGREE.
There is some slight disagreement, 1t
is said, as TO who the first eleven gentle
men snail be.
There is to be a reorganization of the
committee, but when it will be consum-
mated is n difficult problem to solve. Tine
old members of the committee want TO
hang on, aud the very men who are max
ing the most vigorous kicks to hold
their places in the committee are the ones
who the reformers want bounced, and I'M
tremendously at that.
DEFINITE ACTION LATER.
The committee will meet again next
Friday evening, and some definite action
may be taken at that time.
