st. Johns, N. F., Dec. 10. The Work
of eliciting information concerning the
condition of the Commercial Bank IL
proceeding satisfactorily, although
some very unpleasant disclosures are
being made. The largest debtor to
the bank is Mr. Dudor, one OF the d.
rectors, who owes s650,000, half Sc
cured by mortgages. His assets are
not expected to reach the mortgage
estimate. The total amount OF over
drawn accounts is $1,941, 900. A good
proportion of this will realize unfa-
yorably, a fact which causes surprise
that the accounts were permitted 10
be Oyerdrawn. The amounts due oy

A PEACE PARTY

One is Gradually Growing Up in the
Mikado's Kingdom.
San Francisco, Dec. 17.-Advices
from Toxic to November 20, by steamer
Gallo, are as follows: A peace party
is gradually growing up in Japan, the
motive of it's formation being derived
partly from the general sense of the
sufferings and losses entailed by the
war, and partly from perception of
the immense issues involved in the
disintegration Of the Chinese Empire.
The Japanese army in Manchuria is
pushing steadily towards Moukden. 1t
has just attacked and taken Molten
Ling, a town 100 miles beyond the Yalu
River. There is little probability that
any serious resistance will be encoun-
tered until Moukden itself is reached.
Meanwhile Anarchy prevails in all dis
tricts of Manchuria not administered
by the Japanese. Deserters or fugitives
from the Chinese armies raid the
country, and the people leave their
homes untenanted.

Efforts to Got the State of Illinois 20
Take Charge of It.
Chicago, Dec. 18.-At a meeting Of
delegates from clubs and other organ
,zations interested, held in this city,
resolution was adopted that the dele
gates pledge themselves to do all in
their power to induce the State to take
the Lincoln monument out of the hands
Of the monument association, which
now has control of it, and turn 1t over
TO the control of the State authorities.
The resolution also contemplates max
ing admission to the monument free,
and getting an appropriation from the
next Legislature Of from 100000 to
100000 to repair the monument. The
monument, beneath which rest the re-
mains Of Lincoln, has been mutilated
by vandals and injured by the wealth
er. 1t was decided to call mass meet
ing some time before January 1 in
this city to demand that the appro-
priation be made at once. Many AS
sembly candidates were elected on this
pledge, and the feeling in the State is
intense. Although the Garfield monu-
ment cost $4,000 less, it is much bet
ter kept than that Of Lincoln.

Ihe Discovery Made by q Party Of
ProspectOrs.
st. Louis, Dec. ia special to the
Globe-Democrat from Chihuahua,
Mexico, says that the party of pros
pectors who left there three months
ago to investigate the report made by
Nose B. Thacher, the well-known Nor
mon leader, of the discovery of an an
cient city in the mountains west of
Hemata, about $50 miles northwest Of
there, have just returned. They had
many exciting experiences, and two
members of the party died from ex-
posure in the high altitude, but they
were successful in finding the hidden
city. They represent it to be just as
described by Mr.. Thacher, excepting
that it contains great riches in the
way of gold and silver, samples Of
which the party brought back with
them, aggregating several thousand
dollars in value. They are convinced
that there are rich mines in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of the city which
were extensively worked centuries ago
and that the city was built from the
riches thus obtained.

COLLEGE BOYS POISONED.

Arsenic Found In the Food Served at
Bowdoin Eating Club.
Brunswick, Me-, Dec. 1S. - Several
members of the Delta Kappa Epsilon
fraternity of Bowdoin College took
their meals with a Mrs. Kaler, who
lives on Pleasant street. At dinner on
Saturday a peculiar taste was noticed
in the soup and ice-cream, and when
after dinner several of the party were
taken sick, an investigation was made.
Arsenic was found in both the ice
cream and soup. Mr.. Christie, Mr..
Doherty and Miss Maud Kaler are re-
ported as quite sick, but it Is thought
that they will recover. The facts in
the case indicate that there was a de-
liberate attempt at poisoning, but
there is no clue to the guilty party.

numbering the Sherman women near

theory that the police have to work

the absence of the family at the fun
eral and went to the house to steal
the money which he, being familiar
with the habits of the old man, knew
was concealed somewhere about the
premises. The women had remained
behind and recognized him, and to
save himself from prison he killed
