Second Suspension of Bennett National
Within a Year.
New Whatcom, Wash, Sept. 16.-
The Bennett National bank posted no.
tice of suspension this morning, ION
account of the withdrawal of deposits
beyond its power to respond. The
notice further says that "All depositors
will be paid in full" When called
upon by the Associated Press CORES
pendent, the officials, while not ready
to make a detailed statement, said that
the total liabilities are, in round mum.
bers, $50, 900, and the assets approx
mately $l25, 900, of which 500, 900 is in
bills receivable. No paper is hypothe-
Gated, and it is believed that the assets
are more than sufficient to meet all
claims.
The statement of the banks affairs
at the close of the business July IA,
showed deposits of over $1O6, 900, and
the cash resources of $4,000. Since
then more than half of the deposits
have been withdrawn, the cause being
generally ascribed to the general lack
of confidence, due to financial agita-
ton.
This is the second suspension of the
Bennett bank within year, the heavy
run of November and 5 last, due to
the failure of the Bellingham Bay Ma
tional, having forced it into the hands
of receiver for about six weeks. 1t

Buenos Ayres, Sept ia CORES
pendent in Rio Janeiro, Brazil, tele-
graphs that the Brazilian foreign min
lister, Senior Cerquiria, has informed
a circle of friends of high standing

for a peaceful settlement of the Italian
question as extremely favorable. Senior
Cerquiria says the good will of the
government at Rome is assured but he

Signor Bruno, the Italian represent

the situation was still grave Seven

Paula for Argentina. The United

CAME FROM COOKS INLET,
Returning Miners Tell of the Condition
of Those Left Behind.


Seattle, Sept. Is. - Seventy. six
Cooks inlet prospectors were brought
down by the schooner Sophie Suther-
land, which arrived this afternoon
About two thirds Of them paid their
passage in gold dust and the remainder
fell back on the stock of money they
had taken into the country. Those
of the prospectors who were seen said
that the rapidity with which miuers
were leaving the inlet had reduced the
number there to about 500, exclusive
of a number at Coal bay. They calcu-
lated that $590,000 had been expended
in taking men in and out of the coun-
try, while the amount from the mines
would not be more than 100000 at
the highest.
The Polly Mining Company, near
the junction of Mills and Canyon
creeks, they considered to have the best
paying mine in the country, and said
$4,000 would be shipped out by that
mine in the fall. Canyon creek, be.
tween Mile and Mills creeks, and
two miles up Mills creek, they
thought was fair estimate of the pay
streak in the country, and said dozen
or less men are the only ones doing
we'll.
Starvation was a remote possibility
as the departing prospectors have dis
posed of their provisions at sacifice.
The majority are able to leave the
country, and not more than 100 will
be destitute. One man, who came out
by the steamer Bertha, saw the steam
schooner Excelsior lying at Sitka and
learned that she is to 60 to the inlet

Walter Fairman Hit Him on the Head
With a PitchfOrk.

Walter Fairman Hit Him on the Head
With Pitchfork.
Spokane, Wash, Sept. Al. b.
Buchanan. one of the most prominent
farmers in Lincoln county, was killed
near here last evening by Walter Fair
man.
A threshing crew was at work on
Buckman's place, and Fairman was
measuring grain. Buchanan accused
Fairman of swindling, and Fairman
called Buchanan liar. The latter
struck Fairman, who retaliated by
knocking Buchanan down. He then
jumped upon the PROSTATE form of
Buchanan and choked him until he
cried quits.
Buchanan walked away, apparently
satisfied with the thrahsing he had re-
ceived. About ten minutes later, as
Fairman was measuring grain, he
looked up and saw Buchanan coming
toward him with knife. To protect
himself Fairman grabbed up a pitch
fork that was standing close by. The
spectators say Buchanan made rush at
Fairman with the uplifted knife, when
Fairman raised the pitchfork and
struck Buchanan q blow over the head
with the handle. Buchanan fell like a
log, the blood gushing from his ears,
nose and mouth.
A messenger was sent to inform Mrs.
Buchanan, who came and fell upon the
PROSTATE form of her husband, beseech.
ing him to speak, but he was beyond
all aid. Without recovering con-
seriousness, and before a physician
could arrive, Buchanan expired, within
half an hour.
Fairman made no effort to escape,
but remained in the vicinity until
Deputy Sheriff Frazier arrived. He
was locked up in Jail here. Fairman,
who is not very we'll known, expresses
sorrow at the fatal termination of the
quarrel. He said he had no intention
whatever to kill Buchanan, but was
forced to strike him to protect his own
life

THE TRADE REVIEWS
Political Uncertainty Still Pre-

Speculative Buying of Raw M
teriaI-Bradstreet's Report.


Speculative Buying of Raw M
terial-Bradstreet's Report.
New York, Sept. AR. G. Dun g
Co. g weekly trade review says:
Better prospects and relief from
monetary anxiety do not yet bring
larger demands for finished products,
though large buying of pig iron, WOOL,
leather hides, cotton and other ma
terials continue to show a growing BE-
lief that general upward movement
in pirces will come with the replenlsh-
ment of dealers stocks this fall. Most
prices are so extremely low, that moth
ing more than an extraordinary de-
mand would advance them. But bank
failures at New Orleans cause tenn
porary hesitation: crop returns indicate
disappointment in some cotton and
some spring wheat states; prices OF corn
and oats make it Improbable to sell NC
present; the number of manufacturing
works and mines in operation does not
gain, but rather decrease. Reductions
of wages are somewhat numerous, o.
casionally observed by strikes, and all
these conditions diminish for time
the buying power of the people. Whlle
many think general Improvement can
not come until the election has re-
moved political uncertainty. others ex-
pect soon to see the result anticipated
in trade.
Sales of wool for the week have
about equaled the normal consumption
for the first time in months, not be-
cause manufacturers have more orders
or ere doing more work, fer no gain
is seen in demand or output. The buy
ing is mainly speculative, based on the
belief that prices must advance.
Wheat declined cent, but then ad-
vanced, closing cent up for the week.
Western receipts still exceed last
years, having been in two weeks H.
100000 bushels, against 9,323,20O last
year, while Atlantic exports, flour in
cluded, have been for the same week
1898, 265 bushels against 2,415,0 72 last
year.
Corn is almost wholly out of danger,
and the yield is generally expected to
be the largest, as the price here is the
lowest ever known.
Failures have been 315 in the United
States against 1877 last year, and AZ in
Canada against 81 last year.

AIASKA'S DEMANDS.
The People Want a Territorial Form o.
Government.

Government.
Chicago, Sept. Is. - Congressman
Aldrich, of this city, who has just re-
turned from six weeks trip to Alaska,
brings the news that the people of that
distant territory think it has outgrown
it's swaddling clothes, and wants TO
govern itself. A demand is made for a
regular territorial government, new
set of up to-date laws and the priv
lege of sending a delegate to congress
like Arizona, New Mexico and OKLA
homa.
The restless Alaskans have already
caused to be introduced in the national
house of representatives several bills
to bring about these projects on which
they have set their hearts. Inc 1a1l-
ure of congress to advance these bills
has. Aldrich says, disguised the people
of Alaska. There are many Americans
in Alaska who point with unconcealeo
disgust to congressional neglect ana
then to the Jealous care with which
the British are fostering the interests
of their citizens on the Canadian boun-
Diary of Alaska.
Congressman Aldrich says he thinks
it is not time yet for Alaska to have
delegate in congress The population,
though containing some 2,0OO voters,
il scattered over such an immense area
that he says it would be impossible for
the votes to be counted and returned
within the time limit now provided by
our election laws.
But, he says, new set OF laws is
absolutely necessary for Alaska. That
country is now run with the guidance
of obsolete and ill-ftting statutes.
They are largely such laws as were in
the Oregon code before 1884. No new
statutes have been added, and while the
civilization of Alaska has grown at
tremendous rate within the last twelve
years and the population more than
doubled, the laws under which the
Alaskans live have not advanced step
toward keeping pace with the progress
in every other direction.
Alaska is not governed like other
territories. 1t has no legislature and
but few officers, and even these it does
not elect itself; they are appointed by
the president. Alaskans set forth all
these complaints to Congressman Aid
rich, while he was there.

Slayin Knocked Ont KfIrain.

Baltimore, Sept. 16-Jake Kilraiu
and Frank, otherwise known as "Pad-
dy" Slavin, the Australian, were the
stars in a lively fistic contest which
took place at the Eureka Athletic Club,
near this city, tonight. When Kilrain
stripped, he looked to weigh no less
than $50 pounds, and the flesh hung
from him in rolls. Slavin, on the con-
trary, was in the pink of condition.
Slavin hit hard, but Kilrain was not
effective. Three times the pugilists
came together, and then Slavin hit his
man terrific short arm blow under
the heart, and followed with his right
on the jaw, and the one-time champion
fell like a log.
