Lynch, the special representative of
Controller Eckels, has been investi-
eating the affairs of the First National
Bank, and interviewing the directors
and stockholders and other bankers.
There are four propositions, which may
be considered, viz: The purchase by
either the Farmers Exchange Bank or
the San Bernardino National Bank; the
liquidation of the defunct bank, or the
appointment of a receiver. Mr.. Lynch
Is authorized to arrange matters unless
they are too complicated, in which event
1t will be referred to the Controller by

nize nearly, if not all their investment.

The Board of Trade Takes It's Annual
River Excursion.
Fully $50 members of the Washington

and, with perhaps half as many more of
their friends, went down the river on their
annual shad bake. The steamer Manchester
was their means of transportation, and
Marshall Hall their destination. They be-
gan to assemble at the wharf at about
noon, though the excursion was not booked
to start until l O'Clock When the steamer
arrived from her early trip she was soon
we'll filled.
Secretary Wight and his assistant, Mr.
Gurley, were very busy men, answering
innumerable questions and trying to make
everybody feel quite at home, while Presi-
dent Warner shook hands with all he could
reach, and cast his eye hungrily over the
heads of those about him in vain search
for loneS Inle strangers.
The boat left the wharf at about l Is
o'clock, and headed down the river. No
stop will be made until Indian Head is
reached, where the eXcursionistS are to dis
embark and view the United States naval
proving ground. A great gun will probably
be fired in their honor and something may
be badly smashed. When everything has
been seen at this point that there Is to see
the boat Is to return to Marshall Hall, and
a plank shad dinner will be served there at
about $50 o'clock. There will be some
speechmaking and more merrymaking, and
the board of trade will get home sometime
during the evening.
Among those who went down on the Mac
slester were Secretary Herbert, Postmaster
General Wilson, Commodore Stanton, SEN
ators Call and Mitchell of Oregon, and the
District Commissioners.

DON DiCKINSONS SPEECH
Comment on His Demand for Vigorous
Foreign Policy.
The Reason Ascrfbcd to n Possible
Cabinet Change and to His Pres
identfal Aspirations. .

The topic Of conversation In politicaI
circles today was the speech of Don NJ.
Dickinson at Dertoit, IN which he parted
company with the administrations foreign
policy. Mr.. Dickinson's remarks, taken in
connection with recent interview upon
the same lines, have created q profound
sensation among politicians
A Significant Fact.
When 1t is remembered that Mr. Dickin-
son has been considered heretofore con-
sistent supporter of President Cleveland,
carrying his Endorsement Of his chief to the
point OF idolatry, and when 1t Is recalled
that Mr.. Dickinson was In Washington
several days last week and early in this
week, In daily touch with the administrn-
tion, the fact that within twenty-four hours
after leaving the capital ne promulgates
a vigorous American foreign policy Is dou-
bly, significant.
A RumOred Cabinet Change.
Two theories are advanced in explanation
Of his course. One Of these is based upon
rumor which has been current for a day
or two in Washington that Secretary Gres-
ham is to resign the State Department To-
ho and Mr.. Dickinson is to take his place.
Proceeding upon this assumption. 1t is sug-
gested tha- possibly the administration, re-
alizing its unpopularity in its conduct Of
foreign affairs, has determined upon a
change of policy. and that Mr.. Dickinson
Is now forecasting it.
1t is only fair to say that this theory
does not receive any credence whatever
among well-informed politicians. 1t is not
believed for q moment by these people
that the administrator has any idea of
changing its foreign policy. and that Mr..
Dickinson's frank speech Is regarded with
ANYTHING else than horror and dismay by
the President and his counsellors.
Presidential Aspirations.
The most widely accepted theory is that
Mr.. Dickinson Is lining up as presidential
candidate. This is believed by many to be
the true explanation of his course. 1t is
said that he has closely watched the course
of the administration and intends to profit
by its mistakes. His first step in this d.
rection, therefore, as an advocate of line
Of action likely to be popular with Ameri-
cans is readily accountable for. 1t is said
that Mr.. Dickinson believes the next demo-
cratic candidate should come from the
west, by his residence in Michigan, to fill
the bill.
A Clever Stroke.
If this is Mr.. Dickinson's idea, and If he
proposes to make vigorous American
policy the keystone of his presidential arch
1t is admitted by the politicians that he
has made clever stroke in putting him
self forward at this time when his ideas
come more sharply in contrast with the
course of the administration, and gives him
greater prominence by reason of the COM
parison in his favor.
