through his efforts the license restric-

play That rood lawyer now lies buried
at Springfield, aud y grand monument
has been reared over his grave That

MAY NOT HEED CARTER

PUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Popocratic Fake Exposed-Many Del
egatiOns Preparing to Visit Maj.
Mckinley at Canton.

HELENA, Mont, Sept. 9.-The Repub
ican State convention met here at noon and
accomplished nothing up to 3 O'Clock, ex-
cept to elect temporary officers and ap-
point committee on credentials. The in
ability of the committee to come to any
agreement prevented its reporting and after
meeting and adjourning twice the conven-
ton adjourned to meet at o'clock, at
which time the committee announced it
would be ready to report. From the very
start the gold and silver factions locked
horns and up to adjournment at o'clock
the silver men had shown majority.
United States Senator Lee Mantle, chair
men of the State central committee, adj
dressed the convention for almost an hour.
He called attention to the political condi-
tons as they exist in the State, and urged
the delegates to carry out the plan recon-
mended in the report of the Butte confer
tons to remain together and nominate a
State ticket and adopt platform except
ing the financial clause, when the silver
men will withdraw and each faction insert
a clause to its liking, besides each nomi-
mating their own Congressman and set of
electors.
At the night session the convention by a
ing delegates from Butte, giving the silver
men absolute control of the convention.
The appointment of committees finished
the night session. Nominations will be
reached tomorrow.

WRECKED BY EMPLOYEES
UNION NATIONAL BANK OF NEW Or
LEANS FORCED TO CLOSE.
Declarations Discovered That May
Reach Half n Million DoIIars-Sev-
eraI Arrests Probable.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. AT II o'clock
to-day the failure of the Union National
Bank was announced. Stephen Chaleron
is president of the bank. Its capital stock
is $500 CO., and it claimed to have besides
a surplus of s150.000 The bank failed to
clear this morning. President Chaleron
closed the bank without consulting the di-
rectors The cause of the suspension is
attributed to a long line of defalcations,
discovered when the system of bookkeep-
ing was changed, and which are said to
amount to about a half a million dollars.
There has been run on the bank for
some time, so that the deposits still in it's
charge will not reach 100000, the largest
individual depostor having about $4,000.
The failure caused a considerable run on
the other banks, and tonight the clearing
house passed resolution limiting with
drawals to 500, so as to prevent panic.
Bank Examiner Johnson remained at
work all night on the books of the bank,
and will forward his report to Washing
ton IN the morning. 1t is expected that
several arrests will be ordered before noon
tomorrow. Suspicion seems to rest upon
some of the bank employees. None of the
employees are being shawowed. however.

1896 DOLLARS WANTED
NUMEROUS REQUESTS RECEIVED BY
TREASURY OFFICIALS.
Part of the Demand for the "In-GOd-
Ne-Trust'' Silver Coins Due to
the Political Cam pa ign.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9-The treasury
officials are in daily receipt of large num-
Der of requests asking for silver dollars
of this years coinage in exchange for sill
yer certificates or other lawful money.
Many of these requests come from persons
who seem to doubt the truth of the
monthly coinage statement, while others
ask for shipments of 1896 dollars with a
view to refuting statements that no silver
dollars are now being coined These re-
quests have been complied with fast
as received, the treasury officials desire
to call public attention to the fact that
when silver dollars are ordered in sums of
multiples of $500 they are shipped at
the expense of the government, but when
smaller sums are ordered the shipments
are made at the expense of the person
ordering.
There is now in the treasury SO, SOC 399 in
free silver that is. silver which may be
obtained in exchange for any lawful money,
but the demand just now is so keen for
1896 dollars that it seems probable that by
the beginning of October the department
will be compelled to decline to pay out
silver dollars except in exchange for silver
certificates or treasury notes of 1890. The
law requires certain amounts of silver to be
held in the treasury to cover outstanding
silver certificates and treasury notes, and
when the minimum is reached, silver pay
ments would be refus ed even In exchange
for gold in payment of warrants on the
treasury. The number of standard silver
dollars coined during last August is shown
by the official statement to have been

since November, 1893. SIS, 491. The COIN
age value of the stock of bullion now on

tinued at least until the stock on hand of
