 The New Orleans States in it's railway notes, has the following complimentary words for a well-knoWn Alabama railroad president:
 President Clark of the Mobile and Ohio is a prodigious worker, and does not confine his exertions to the development of the road he so ably presdes over. The improvement of the Mobile harbor is something that lies very close to the heart of the Mobile and Ohio president, and the other day when, In the river and harbor appropriations bill in, the United States senate. Mobile ran danger of being shut out, Colonel Clark got his fighting clothes on, went up to Washington, and, with the assistance of some personal friends of his, who were members of the federal senate, succeeded in having the appropriation for Mobile again inserted in the budget. That's the way for rail- road president to work for the benefit of community in which his interests are bound up."

Venezuelan treaty for the settlement
of the Guiana boundary question. He
thought the Venezuelan government
was entitled to one representative
upon the projected arbitration
tribunal. That much the Venezuelan
people demanded, and they were,
President Crespo said, upheld by the
government in that respect. Finally,
President Crespo said it only remained
for him to say that, with the above
reservation, the terms of the proposed
treaty were fully accepted by the
cabinet, subject to the approval OF
congress when it should convene.

rhe National Bank Of Illinois Goes Under
Large Deposits.
CHICAGO. Dec.f 22.-Thc National
Bank of Illinois has been suspended by
the clearing house. The action sus-
pending the bank was taken at a
specially called meeting the Clearing
House association committee at the
residence of Eldridge Keith, who is
secretary of the committee, and was
held shortly after midnight. 1t was
shown that the bank had made I'M
warrantable and unjudicious loans
and that in consequence the capital
and surplus of the bank have been
seriously imperiled. It is believed
that many failures will result from the
collapse of the National Bank OF
Illinois. 1t is the second largest bank
in Chicago and was established in 1871.
1t has capital stock of one million
dollars and IL surplus of one million,
and $500, 900 undivided profits. The
amount of money deposited in the
bank is Sl2: 100000.
