Citizens National Bank of Fargo.

FARGO, n. D., Jan. 2.-Bank Examiner
Anneir has been in possession of the Citi-
zens National Bank since O'Clock this
afternoon. No statement of the affairs Of
the institution will be given out by either
the examiner or officials till the eXamina-
ton Of the books Is completed. The last
statement Dec. IL. showed bills discounted
and payable S55.0 900, while the capital was
only 100000 The cash items were unavail-
able and the examiner seemed to think il
best to close the institution. As no run was
made on the bank and the assets are un-
impaired. the embarrassment Will probably
be only temporary and reorganization will
be easy. There was no excitement nor any
thing approaching a run on the other
banks Some business interests closely al
lied with the bank will suffer, but il is not
thought the effect will be serious. Presi-
dent Miller is in Boston negotiating for

interesting struggle of labor against the
uttermost rights of property. Not deferred

Penryn pettishly shut down his slate quar-

offered friendly mediation. but Lord Pehryn
declined angrily and closed the quarry,
throwing five thousand men out of work in
the depth of winter. This defiance of Par

Places for Experts.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2-Secretary Her.
bert has practically decided to increase the
present naval corps OF inspectors of steel
used in the construction of naval vessels OF
the United States by the appointment of a
number of expert civilians. AT confer
ence held to-day by the secretary with As
sistant Secretary McAdoo, Naval Construc-
tor Hichborn and a number of bureau
chiefs the subject was fully discussed and
it was the opinion of all present that the
number of naval inspectors now available
for this duty was insufficient for the needs
of the service. They were constantly being
moved about from one duty to a more urg-
ent one, and were unable to give that
close and continuous attention TO the pro-
cess of steel manufacture which is abso-
lutely required to insure the highest stand
ard of excellence. Captain Mccormick and
Chief Engineer Smith. of the Norfolk yard
are expected to arrive here next Monday
when the details preliminary to the ap-
pointments will be completed. 1t is thought
the Civl-service Commission will be called
on to furnish at once about twelve or hf-
teen men who. by rigid examinations, have
proved themselves experts in this line, and
when secured they probably will be dis
tributed among the works now furnishing
the steel and cast iron used in the con-
struction of our naval vessels. Some of the
experts will be sent to Bethlehem and others
to the Carnegie, the Phoenix. the Vail, the
Thorlow and the Midvale works.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-The Illinois Steel
Company cut wages to-day. From the high

tive work down TO the rawest recruit in the

with whom the company has contracts
there was no exceptions, except where a
told that the amount of reduction had not

might be anywhere from 10 to 30 per cent,
would go into effect on Feb. /. The work
men were told that there were no favor
ties. every one would suffer, from presi-
dent to water boy. 1t was also talk among
the men tonight that the members of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers would suffer with the rest
of the men, but this is thought hardly
probable as the association has a contract
with the company. The life of this agree
ment ends with the spring. The employees
