that the seizure was violation of the

been bound over in the United States

past.

The discovery of gold in Alaska and the
try has greatly increased the Importance
of the territory in the eyes OF the govern
ment and people OF the United States.
The Canadians are watching the country
with greedy eyes, and the settlement of
the boundary question may prove a seri-
Gus matter. The British are always on
the lookout for gold. 1t was the gold on
the boundary between Venezuela and
British Guiana that caused the trouble
between England and the first mentioned
country, and but for the firm stand of the
United States all the territory of value
for mining purposes would have been APP
propriated by Great Britain. In South
Africa Jamison's raid was planned to
bring the Transvaal with its rich gold
mines under British rule. and even now
there is strong probability of war between
the English and the Beers, the ultimate
object being the annexation of the Dutch
Republic to the British possessions. The
same, or n similar, condition of affairs
exists in Alaska. In the past year or
more valuable discoveries OF gold have
been made there, and, if the United States
is not very careful, when the boundary
line between Alaska and British America
is drawn it will be found that all of the
best gold deposits are on the Canadian
side. The Government, however, is wax

At an annual adjourned meeting of the
stockholders Of the Traders Bank. on
Tuesday, it was decided, in order to pre-
vent any creditors from obtaining any
priorities one over another, to make Il
general deed of assignment, conveying to
trustees all the assets of the bank to Sc
cure it's creditors. and in accordance with
this authority the directors on yesterday
made deed of trust, naming as trustees
Capt. Charles NJ. Blackford and Mr.
James r. Edmunds. 1t is thought that
the assets will be sufficient to pay the
debts full an' leave Il surplus for the
stockholders
The Traders Bank vas organized in
1870, and since that time. up to some
twelve months ago, did large and pros
porous business, but the continued hard
times told against it and occasioned n run
upon it last September. The directors
stood by the bank to the extent of their
estates and thereby prevented it's insol-
vency and warded Off disaster from
many of Lynchburg's people. Where
parties holding certificates desired it, the
directors personally guaranteed payment,
and i'll that way gained needed time. In
the last eight months. since the pi actical
suspension of business i'll last September
the bank has paid depositors about $780,

tificates of deposit to he paid OF only $50

dorsed by the directors. The assets of
the bank are estimated at $3.50, 900 and
the liabilities at about $4,000 1t will
take time to realize on the assets, but it
is said that they will he ample to pay

about 1t. Without intending to do so you
told mo great many things that had been
said during the debate, and you also gave
me an intimation as to how certain sem

were Interested In the case. Has it never
occurred to you that some senators are in
tercstcd in every case that comes before
