ENGLAND DISCUSSES MIR. oLNEY.
Press Divided as to His Remarkable
Opinion Lately Uttered.

London, Dec 20.-The Times in an edi-
torial says 1t thinks that in face of Mr.
Olney's distinct intimation of President
Clevelands intention toward the Cameron
resolution, the two houses of congress
of the resolution.
President Cleveland has nothing to
gain by yielding" the Times continues,
land it is difficult what the majority In
congress could do. Is he to be arraigned
before the supreme court and impeached
eventually for disobedience If he be found
in the wrong for the moment?'
The question appears more likely to be
Il conflict of the powers within the Amer
lean constitution than between Spain and
the United States. Even if Mr.. Sherman
should be secretary of state in the new
administration it is hardly likely Mr.. Nc
Kinley would surrender his independence
as executive and enter upon the incalcul-
able risk Of war with Spain.
The Chronicle discusses the constitu-
tional question involved in the apparent
difference between President Cleveland
and congress on the Cameron resolution
This paper thinks Olney can not put his
foot down so absolutely, and that he must
have been misunderstood, because, even
admitting the difficulty of bringing the
matter before the supreme court, con-
gress could apparently impeach the presi-
dent or take the quicker step of declaring
war against Spain.'
The Standard on the other hand, does
not doubt that Mr.. Olney's position is
perfectly sound.
Marquis De HOyOs Prates.
London, Dec. 20.-A Vienna dispatch to
the Times says:
The Spanish ambassador, the marquis
De Hoyos, in an interview published in
the Reichswehr, spoke of his confidence
in the ultimate crushing of the rebellion
in Cuba. "Mr. Mckinley" he said, was
no more likely than Mr.. Cleveland to
raise serious quarrel, because the United
States would risk more than Spain. 1t
must not be supposed that Spain was a
poor and exhausted country. Witness
the sacrifices of men and money already
made in Cuba and the PHILIPPINES"
Spain, said the ambassador, must be
regarded as the outpost of civilization
For centuries she has fought against the
inroads of the Arabs. Today she has
a tWo-fold task, to withstand the yellow
race in the PHILIPPINES and the checking
of the progress Of a new race, namely,
the Americans, who believe that Europe
is decrepit and that the future belongs to
themselves. Europe, however, is quite
young enough the ambassador concluded,
to hold her own against America.

geography, topography and military con-
dition of the United States to distribute

JUSTICE WAS DONE TO SAILORS
Opinion by Judge Morrow of San
Francisco.

San Francisco, Dec. 18.-Judge Morrow
today handed down an opinion in the
case of Hogan and others against the
bark J. d. Peters. The Mcguire act of
1895 prohibited the anticipation by coast
seamen of their wages. 1t was intended
to repeal section 10 of the acts of 1884
and 1886, which permitted anticipation Of
wages to the amount of $40 per month
during the voyage. Judge Morrow de-
clared that it was absurd to prevent any
man from drawing upon sum of money
which is already owing to him. On ac-
count of an ambiguity in the Mcguire
act, it fails of it's purpose, and the laws
of 1884 and 1886 are still in force.
The captain of the Peters had sold
clothing to his men at profit of 400 per
cent. Judge Morrow allowed him 10 per
cent over wholesale prices.

A BIG BANK Is SHAKY
NATIONAL BANK OF ILLINOIS HAS
SERIOUS TROUBLES.
Chicago Clearing House Association
Suspends 1t From Membership
of the Association.

Chicago, Dec. 2O.-Tomorrow mornings
papers will say:
The probabilities are that the National
Bank of Illinois will not open for bust
ness today and it may go into liquidation
as the result of serious troubles that first
became known at a late hour tonight
The cash resources of the institution are
stated to be within the limits of the law
and it is understood depositors will be
paid in full. Bad loans are stated to be
the cause of the trouble. The capital and
surplus OF the bank, it is said, are i'm
paired. In consequence, the institution
was suspended from membership in the
clearing house at a meeting of the gov
erning committee tonight. 1t is stated
that if the bank should suspend and
liquidate there would be sufficient funds
to declare an early dividend as the re-
sources of the bank are ample.
The National Bank of Illinois was one
of the leading financial Institutions of the
city. The last statement of the bank
shows it to be in good condition.
The following are the resolutions adopt
ed by the clearing house committee to-
night:
w
mittee has been lately called to the ad-
ministration Of affairs of the National
Bank of Illinois, and it now appears,
through statements made to this commit
tee by one of the vice presidents of the
said bank and from the reports of the
national bank examiner, that by reason
of unwarrantable and injudicious loans
the capital and surplus of said bank are
seriously imperiled, if not entirely lost;
now, therefore,
Resolved, That under the powers con-
ferred upon this committee by the by
laws of the clearing house association of
Chicago, we do hereby suspend the said
National Bank of Illinois from the privi-
Ieges OF membership in the said associa-
ton, to take effect Immediately"
In taking this action, the committee
deem it proper to say:
First, that the cash resources of the
bank are within the requirements of the
law and if as a result of this action the
said bank should suspend payment and
liquidate it's liabilities, large and speedy
dividend will be made available to cred
itors.
Second, it Is the declared opinion of the
officers and directors Of the bank that
it's resources are ample to pay all of its
liabilities in full, 100 cents to the dollar,
and it is the opinion of this committee
that adjusted claims against the said
bank may be considered ample collateral
security for loans at rs per cent of their
face, and in event of liquidation by the
said bank, we will recommend to the as
ISOLATED banks an arrangement whereby
such loans may be made available to
creditors of the said bank as their con-
Venience may require"
