OWING TO A HEAVY RUN.
Failure of the FIRST National Bank Of
H0ILtdGVsbasTQ, Pa.


HolItdaysbwrg, Pa.
PITTSBURG. Pa, Dec. 14.-The First
National Bank of HolIldaysburg sus-
pended business this morning, owing to
heavy run made by its depositors. This
bank was organized IN 1868, and capital
lied at $50, 600. 1t is one of the Oldest
national banks in the United States. The
excitement over the closing of the bank
has been intensified by the news that the
Martinsburg Deposit Bank of Martinsuurg
and the Williamsburg Bank of Williams
burg have also suspended business. These
two banks are branches of the First
National Bank.
The total capital OF the three institu-
tons is about 100000. The officials say
the suspension is temporary and that the
three banks will be reopened without
financial difficulties after the work of re-
organization is completed.

THE SEAL rlsHEnrEs DISCUSSED.
The Senate Committee on Foreig:. Re-
iatiOns Receive Ihe Treaty Report.

Washington, ID. C.,SApril 8.-The exc
cutive session of theISenate this after
noon was brief. and, besides few con-
firmations, was detptsd to the reception
of report from MI Sherman, chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Relations
on the treaty now before the Senate. re-
lating to the appointment OF 4 commit
tee to assess the damages growing out
of the seizure or the Canadian vessels
for violation of the regulations reiat-
ing to Berlng sea fur, seal fisheries Mr..
Sherman reported a3fow amendments
which were ordered printed. The treaty
will be taken up in a few days. Objec-
tion was made to It's consideration to-
day, owing to the Illness of Mr.. Morgan,
although Mr. Sherman stated that the
State Department was very anxious
to have the matter disposed Of The
amendments reported are only verbal
and will not change the text OF the
treaty in any material manner.
The word award" as used In the
treaty, has. however, been expurgatcd
for the reason that the committee does
not agree with the claim of the British
Amba ssador that the Paris tribunal
made any reward In, this matter. On the
contrary, they contend that the qucs-
tion of damages was not before the
tribunal and that the high court OF arbi-
tIation expressly declined to consider
any question relating to damages. Be
lieving that the word award" if per-
mitted to stand. would therefore lead to
confusion. the committee has reported
in favor of striking 1t out and changing
the text relating to the statement OF
facts so as TO read "as found by the
Paris tribunal" instead of las found
by the award of the Paris tribunal" /"
etc.
The only other amendment of conse-
quence Is one that provides that the
commission may sit either in Vancouvar
or San Francisco, the original draft OF

Is understood to be the English mem
ber of the commission to be authorized

additional reason why the matter should
be disposed of at the earliest opportu-
nifty and it Is probable that the disputed
subject may be finally disposed OF next
