TUESDAY, DECEMBER L.

THE house in Princeton, n. j., which
in which it is supposed he will reside
after March 4 next was built by Com.
modore Stockton, and was purchased
for the president from Mrs. William
Slidell. The house is built of stone, with
layer of cement on the outside, lined
to represent stone blocks. 1t is two
stories in front, wi b peaked roof and
is about 60 feet front by 100 deep. There
are about five acres in the whole prop
erty. The front part is lawn dotted
by large pine trees, while back of the
house is an orchard. The whole is in
closed with an iron fence, and inside of
this is we'll trimmed box hedge. Presi-
dent Patton says that there was no
foundation for the rumor that President
Cleveland is to be dean of the Princeton
law school. The fact that Princeton has
no law school, aud no present prospect
Of securing one, makes the rumor some
what amusing.
In the December number of the North
American Review, published today, Mr..
w. j. Bryan has an article, in which he
discusses the result of the election as
affecting the status of the silver quee-
ton. The issue on which the election
turned he describes as the greatest
ever submitted to the American people,
in time of peace The declaration of
the Chicago convention in favor of the
free coinage of silver forced upon the
people of this country study of the
money question in general; and within
the last four months more people have
been simultaneously engaged in its con-
sideration than ever before in the his
tory of the world. The result of this
study, Mr.. Bryan declares, to be tempo
rary defeat, but permanent gain for the
cause of bimetalism."
The Missouri National bank of Kan
sas City closed its doors on Monday
morning. The bank had been open for
just one hour when the comptroller took
charge of it's affairs. The closing came
as a surprise to the officers. The same
surprise was evinced everywhere, other
banks believing the Missouri National to
have regained its prestige and to be in
fourishing condition. No fears we're ex-
pressed by other leading bankers that
the failure would spread. The last
statement issued by the bank showed of
81 SOL 900, and cash and exchanges
amounting to S546,000 In the panic of
July, 1893 the Missouri National was one

but it soon reopened.
The storm which ragged in the North
west for the forty eight hours ending
Monday night is reported to be the
worst since the great blizzard of Janu-
airy, 1888. There has been great destruc-
tion among cattle on the plains. Rail-
road traffic was almost entirely sus
pended owing to the snow. Minnesota
and the Dakotas suffered severely. Adj
vices from Manitoba state that snow
drifts eight and ten feet high are COM
mon and the wind blew at the rate of
fifty miles an hour. A furious gale
ragged at the western end of Lake Supe-
rior. The "cold wave" in Chicago be-
gan Sunday and continues at present
writing, Tuesday noon. 1t has ranged
about five above zero for weight
hours-the coolest "spell" of the season.

A DISPATCH from Constantinople.
Nov. 81, Gays that much surprise is ex-
pressed at the statement made at Chick
ering Hall, New York, by Miss Grace
Kimball, who was a missionary in Asia
Minor, that the American flag was not
respected in Turkey. During all the
trouble in Asia Minor the American flag
efficiently protected all Ameri ,au citi.

of this. but she does not state that she
