RESULTS OF GOLD STANDARD
Further Particulars Regarding the
Disastrous Failure of National
Bank of Illinois.
NATIONAL BANK OF MINNESOTA CLOSED
1t Was Considered One of the Strong
est Financial Institutions in the
West-Assets and Liabilities
Several Other Failures.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-The assets of the
National Bank of Illinois, closed yester-
day, are said to have included an addition
of S2,475,O00, loaned to the Calumet Elec-
trio company; $500,000 advanced to
Robert Berger, son-in-law of President
George Schneider; $500000 advanced to
q. A. Weiss, another son-in law, and over
100000 advanced on doubtful debts.
Berger is a partner of the firm of E. s.
Dryer d Co., which also went into the
hands of receiver yesterday. Weiss is q
brewer.
The losses will fall upon 1871 individ-
ual depositors and $50 national, state
and private banks.
The deposits of the treasurer of Chi
cago and Cook county aggregate almost
100000
Robert E. Jenkins, one of the directors
of the National Bank of Illinois says:
"The directors were unaware of the loans
which appear to have carried the bank
down, or we're not until the latter part of
last week. do not care to say who |
believe was to blame for the directors
being kept in the dark as to the magni-
tude of these loans"
RUNS ON oTHEK CHICAGO BANKS.
Chicago. is quite little run on
the Illinois Trust d. Savings bank. The
depositors are handed the thirty day no.
tices, except where they can satisfy the
officials that the money they desire is for
Legitimate purposes.
Runs were made yesterday on several
other banks, notably OF the Garden City
Banking Il Trust company. Its doors
were opened an hour before banking
hours to-day. By 1890 Withdrawals had
ceased and the depositors had trebled
the amount taken out. The Withdrawals
from other banks were few.
1t is generally expected that Examiner
McKeon will be appointed receiver per-
manently of the National Bank of Illinois.
BANK OF MINNESOTA FAILS.
st. Paul, Minn.-State Bank Examiner
Kenyon to-day took possession of the
Union Stock Yards bank also closed. The
Bank of Minnesota's capital is $2,0o0,-
900. 1t was considered one of the strong
est banks in the west.
EXTENT OF MINNESOTA DISASTER.
The last published statement, October
6, 1896, gave the following liabilities:
Capital stock paid in, 100000; surplus
funds, 100000; undivided profits, $l02,-
1888; individual deposits, $l,071, ,051.90;
time certificates of deposits, 81, ,141, ,993.S2;
due banks. $303,2ls.71; demand certifi-
Gates, $lol l,522.90; total, $3,s2o,s6949,
Tn5 fyaIs and discounts Tare $2,3a1,eaf.-
IS; cash on hand, 1921 l,649sS.
The closing of the banks has not af-
fected the other banks of the city. The
reason given for the failure is the general
stringency.
ANOTHER FAILURE IN CHICAGO.
Chioago.-Willlam Dill was to-day ap-
pointed receiver of the general contract
ing firm of Angus & Gintesle upon appli-
cation of John Angus. The firm owes the
National Bank of Illinois $250,000. The
suspension of the bank ruined the firms
credit. The assets are figured at $780,
600, and the liabilities at $25O,0O0.

THE ELEVATOR SYSTEM.
An Important Decision in the Ele-
vatOr Warehouse Cases at
Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Judge Tully, in the
circuit court, to-day rendered a decision
in the elevator warehouse cases, finding
against the warehouse men on all
points. Two months ago the privilege was
granted them to carry on business and
perfect an appeal to the Illinois supreme
court, which will undoubtedly be taken.
,3 The action was in the shape of petit
tion brought on an information of Attor-
ney.G General Maloney for an injunction
restraining the elevator men from buy
ing, mixing and storing their own grain
with that of their customers.
This injunction was granted, the court
holding that the practice Of the elevator
men was illegal. The decision if sus-
tanned will make great change in the

PACIFIC RAILROAD DEBTS In SENATE
Sen. Pettigrew Prefers Grave Charges
Claims Union Pacific Processes to
Be Insolvent for the Purpose of
Defrauding Government.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Vests
anticipated speech concerning Secretary
0lney's attitude toward the Cameron
resolution filled the senate galleries to
oyerilowing to-day, but Senator Vest did
not continue the remarks, which we're cut
off by an OBJ bjection yesterday. 4
The urgent deficiency bill was reported
passed with minor amendments. 1t car
ries $sS4,sS6 the largest part of which is
a continuation of the work Of the navy
department.
Mr.. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, called
up his resolution appropriating $l0,OOO,-
600 to take up the trust notes of the
Union Pacific railroad He said that this
step was imperative to protect the inter-
ests of the government against the
schemes of those who held the notes,
whose purpose was to absorb the branch
lines of the Union Pacific.
He believed that the Union Pacific COM
pauy was not insolvent and that float
ing debt had been created for the express
purpose of complicating and embarrass-
ing the government liens.
Mr.. Gear, of Iowa, chairman of the
committee on Pacific roads, asked if Mr..
the government.
Mr. Pettigrew answered certainly, that
the government couldnot possibly manage
the Pacific roads worse than they had
been managed 1t would do away with
the pools, combinations and discrimina-
tion rates which made American roads a
target for criticism.
Mr.. Platt, of Connecticut, spoke of the
imperative necessity of considering the
important question Of settlement with
the Pacific roads. The indebtedness
thereof, reaching $115,0000O0, was in
danger of being lost.
Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, said that the
statements made by Mr.. Pettigrew were
of q most grave character. 1t was diff
cult for any single mind to grasp the
'labyrinth of fraud and rascality' that
had made this ubjeota perfect saturnalia
of fraud.

sugar Bounty Warrants Illegal.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 22.-The supreme
court has decided that the payment >.
State Auditor Moore of some $4,000 II
warrants for sugar bounties to the Oxnaru
company is illegal. The bill, passed by
the last session of the legislature, provided
for the payment of 5s of a cent per pound
by the state as bounty for all sugar
made by new manufactures started sub
sequently to the passage of the law. Thi-
bounty was made contingent upon the
manufacturers paying for sugar beets at
the rate of s. per ton.
The bill carried no appropriation for
the payment of the bounty, nor was any
subsequent appropriation for this pur-
pose made. Bat the manufacturers vert
ahead and paid $5 ton for beets, and
along in December last applied to State
Auditor Moore for the accrued bounty.
The auditor issued the warrants for $46,-
900. The position of the auditor was at
tackled in several quarters, and Attorney
General Churchhill advised State Treas.
urer Bartley to pay no money on the war
rants when presented.

Freedom from
oscillation.

In its issue of Febr'y 18th,
the Railway Age of Chi
cago gives a very interesting
account of some record
breaking runs on the Bur-
lingtOn Route between Gales
burg and Chicago. The ar
ticle says in conclusion:
1.-THE Burlington's main line
track allows the highest
speed to be made with re-
markable freedom from oscil-
lation. The train 'purs' over
the joints with a delightful
rythm and the passenger
seldom realizes that he Is rid
ing Ing. ct an extraordinary
Freedom from oscillation Is
something the Burlington Is
famous for all over the coun-
try. No matter how great
the speed, the train Is as
steady as any moving object
can be.
How could it be otherwise
with such a track, such roll
ing stock. such engines as the
Burlington's?
