COLD AND EMPTY HONOR FOR HILL
Five Democrats BoIted the Demo-
cratic Caucus.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 1s.--Three demo-
cratic senators and two assemblymen to-
night bolted the caucus called to nomin
ate a successor to David b. Hill for
United States senator. OF those who re-
NAMED sc voted for David b. Hill, three
for Wilbur f. Porter of WATERFOWL and
two for Robert c. Titus Of Buffalo. The
five who voted against Senator Hill in
the caucus will vote for him on the bal
lot tomorrow.
After the caucus was called to order,
Senator Guy rose and said: During the
recent campaign, while not approving of
some Of the features of the Chicago plat
form, 1 believed 1t my duty to Loyalty
support the presidential candidate Of the
democratic party because L knew him to
be an intelligent, upright and honorable
man, and because L felt that the demo-
cratic party, more truly than its oppon
ents represented the best interests of the
great body of people. More than six mil
lions of voters in the nation and $4,000
in this state displayed like faith in the
democratic party and its candidate.
Senator Hill, on the contrary, by his
inaction and policy of delay, contributed
more than any other single influence to
democratic defeat. To vote for Hill un-
der the circumstances would be, in my
opinion, to rebuke those who were loyal;
to reward the general that avoided the
conflict while condemning those brave
soldiers who unflinchingly faced the foe"
The senator's remarks created a sensa-
tlon and when he finished talking there
was absolute silence for a considerable
length OF time
Finally Grady offered a resolution In
structing the secretary to call the roll Of
the caucus and as each members lame
was called he was to rise in his seat and
name his choice for senator. Before the
question on this resolution, Senator Nc
Nulty got the floor and said that he
agreed generally with the remarks of SEN
ator Guy, and added that he would not
follow Senator Hill hereafter in either
state or national issues.
This was the signal for Senators Guy
and Coffey and Assemblymen Game and
Zurn to retire from the caucus with Sena-
tor McNulty
The resolution of Grady was then adopt
ed and roll call of the caucus was taken,
resulting as already stated. After the
vote was announced, several of the lead
| ers looked around, appealing for some one
to make the nomination unanimous, hut
as the motion was not forthcoming, the
chair announced that the choice Of the
caucus for United States senator was
David b. Hill. Even this announcement
did not awaken the slightest applause.

THE KENTUCKY BANKS
NEWPORT HAS ONE FAILURE AND
LOUISVILLE ANOTHER.
President of the Louisville Bank
Says the DepositOrs Will be
Paid in Full.

Newport, Ky, Jan. 1S.-The First Ma
tional bank closed this morning. Heavy
investments in real estate Is said to be
the cause.
The failure of the First National Bank
of Kentucky to open this morning was a
surprise to the business men of the city.
While a statement was given out by the
officers that no one would lose anything,
there all sorts of rumors flying about.
Fortunately the integrity of the officers
is such that no suggestion of wrong-do-
ing has found credence.
The first evidence of weakness was the
refusal Of the officers to pay Saturday
afternoon $1,000 to the treasurer of the
Bellevue school board, which he recently
deposited, and had since been advised TO
draw out.
Cashier T. b. Youtsey has been with
the bank since its organization in 1875.
The capital stock is 100000. The presi-
dent is John Trap; vice president, Jo-
seph Wright.
President Trap, who was elected last
fall in place of Henry Gunkle, who re-
tired on account of advanced years, is a
resident of Dayton, KY. and one of the
wealthiest men in the county.
George Youtsey, brother of the cashier,
assigned individually to the Covington
Trust Company. The Standard Carriage
Supply Company, of which George Yout-
sey was president, also assigned to the
Covington Trust Company. The capital
stock of the Standard Co. is 900. The
assets and liabilities of the Standard
Company and George Youtsey individu-
ally are not given.
The directors were in session all day
Saturday, on which day the bank opened
with only $500 in it's vault. AT that meet
ing Cashier Youtsey resigned, and his
resignation was promptly accepted. The
banks in Covington agreed Saturday to
loan the bank S60,00O but later the prop
osition was declared off.
Directors Gunkle, John Griese, ]. f.
McCracken, George Youtsey, Charles
Spinks, J. A. Winter John Trap, Chas
Weidemann and Joseph Wright all Off
cred to give their individual endorsement
for s250,OOO liabilities, but the cash could
not be secured.

LOUISVILLE GERMAN NATIONAL.
The President Says the DepOsitOrs
VIII BE Paid in Full.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 1S.-National Bank
Examiner EScott this morning closed the
German National bank. j. M. Mcknight
is president, and the capital stock il
$261, 900, with a surplus of $4,000. The
bank is an old one, but for some time has
been regarded as unsafe.
The last statement issued by the bank,
December II, 1896, made very bad show
ing. The % per cent rule had been violat-
ed by about per cent. Under the head
of resources it was given out the bank
held S113, OPS in Securities stocks, ETC."
This was unsatisfactory, as let cetere"
was not considered definite enough.
Since the statement was issued with
drawals had been steady.
President Mcknight was for years
prominently identified with the banking
business and involved in a number of
outside operations.
In a signed statement President Nc
Knight says the depositors i'll be paid
In full, and the stockholders will prob
ably reorganize the bank.
Examiner Escott, who took charge OF
the bank affairs, made the statement
that there has been no run on the bank,
but in view of losses sustained through
injudcious loans, shrinkage of values,
etc, and a general loss of business, to-
gether with a lack of confidence In the
management of the bank the controller
believes 1t to be to the interests of the
depositors and stockholders to close the
bank and to liquidate it's affairs through
a receiver.
This failure should not create distrust
OF any other bank in the city, as they
are all in good condition and strong in
their cash reserves. For some time the
bank has been weak. but there was
nothing in it's condition until lately that
warranted closing it. We can not stare
the assets or liabilities, as we have hard
ly got to work, nor can we say more
about the causes of the suspension than
the reasons already given

Minnesota State Savings Bank
Closes It's Doors.

Closes It's Doors.
ST. Paul. Jan. 18.-The Minnesota State
Savings bank closed this morning ana
filed deed Of assignment, naming VIII
liam Bickel assignee. An affidavit was
filed stating that the assets are about
S250,0OO, and the liabilities in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. The officers of the bank
deemed this step the best way, under the
circumstances, to protect the depositors-
The recent furry in banking affairs
caused the withdrawal of deposits to such
an extent that, although the bank re-
quired 60 days notice, it was unable to
raise enough ready money to meet the ds~
mands.
The Minnesota Savings bank was incor-
porated in 1868 as the Union Savings bank
OF Rochester, Mimi, by Senator Daniels
Of Rochester and his friends and was OPP
Grated in connection with the Union Ma
tlonal bank of that place. In 1889 the leg
lslature passed law by which such char
ters could be transferred to other places
than where organized, and under its pro-
visions the Union Savings was purchased
by w. f. Btchle and his associates and It's
name changed to the Minnesota Savings
bank, and located here. The assignee, w.
A Bickle, was the first president Of the
Dank after its removal TO st. Paul.
Though he has had no connection with the
active management of the bank, he is IA
miliar with its business and has the con-
fidence of the deposi.ors. The deed of as
Segment was executed by the president
or the bank, w. +. Bickle, and the CASH
Ter, Edward f. Heinlin. The affidavit OF
the bond Of the assignee states that the
assets will figure about $500 and Mr..
Bickle states the liabilities are about $780,,
600. The bank had on deposit $4,000 of the
city Of st. Paul end $4,000 Of the funds Of
Ramsay county.
