CHICAGO ILL, Dec. 28-The Atlas

representing the financial institutions of
this city, when the doors were opened to

positors were informed that as soon as
their accounts were balanced checks on
Trustee LON bard, president of the Ma
tional Bank of America and chairman of
the Clearing house com mittee, for the full
amount of their claims will be sent.
The well-known connection between the
Atlas Bank and the Dime Savings Bank, q
small but old institution, caused report
that it would also be forced to liquidation.
its doors were open for business as usual
to-day, but there was little business. The
other banks of the city are doing business
under normal conditions.
The resources. of the Atlas National
Bank are estimated at 81, $50, 900, with OBJ
legations approximating the same amount.
Owing to inability to realize the actual
value of the assets on declining market

are mem beIs of the Clearinghouse. Asso-
citation to advance between $500. 900 and
5000, 900 prorated according to their capi-
tai stock, in order to pay all approved
claims in fufI at once. This is expected to
be done within q week. The amount of
money needed TO complete the liquida-
tion is about S100, COO more than was at
first expected by the Clearing house COM
mittee. After Chairman Lombard of the
Clearing house COMMITTEES, who is acting
as trustee for the associated banks. had
held conference to-day with Cashier s.
w. Stone, the acting manager OF the bank,
and had gone overssome of the accounts,
ne expressed his confidence that the bank
had not only am pie assets to cover its Iia-
bilities, but that the stockholders would
not fare badly in the division of the assets.
President Grannis is reported to be seri-
ously i'll at his home, and ais physicians
will not allow him to do anything in con-
nection with the liquid alton OF the bank.

struggle for the bank to keep open, and
the assistance to honorably discharge its
obligations in full was gladly accepted
The directors of the Dime Savings Bank
did not take any decisive action at a meet
ing held to-day. The bank will be kept
open for the transaction of the usual busi-
ness. An insignificant few made deposits

naturalized American citizen, charged
with Conspiracy against the Spanish
Government, was tried and found guilty
last week, the proceedings ending on
Saturday, held public sitting at l P. NJ

court upon the prisoner was read. The

against Sanguillv was defective in form,
and that the court proceedings were
irregular, and therefore an infringement
of the law.

What appeared to partake OF the character OF
. concerted drive against prices was evident In
the closing dealings In stocks to-day. The sell
ing was most aggressive in Sugar Refining, In
which stock an excuse for such action was
found in the passage by the Senate Of the So
called Antitrust bill, extending the powers Of
the Attorney-General Of the State in legal pros.
%ecution OF Industrial combinations. The selling
OF Sugar Refining resulted in a net loss OF 2Ts 2
cent. though the gross decline from the highest
figures OF the day exceeded 4 u cent, In
connection with the decline in this stock II was
significant that none OF the other Industrial
shares were approximately affected, and the
break seemed to be reasonably explained by the
yigor OF the attack. which, as might have been
expected. resulted In the execution OF many
stop orders. II was also significant that many
OF the largest sellers OF the stock had only vague
conceptions OF the character Of the legislation
in question, which was yATiously referred both
