LAW AT sKAGUAY.
It is Represented by a New Rope
Hanging From Tree

Seattle, Wn., Aug. 26.-The advices
per the steamer Willamette from Ska
quay describes that place as a camp of
5000 persons. Five miles up the trail
there are tents all along on both sides
but greater share of the people have
not been any distance up the trail.
Rain, mud, discomfort and confusion
prevail everywhere. The men have a
great respect for the vigilance commit
tee but they refuse to obey any author
1ty when it comes to working on the
trail. Buildings are going up rapidly
and stores and saloons are opening eve
ry day. The first dance house and sa-
loon was opened while the steamer was
in port. The receipts at the bar for the
first hour the dance house was open
aggregated $1,348. On the outside of
the dance house is a tree upon which
several significant notices are posted
and from a limb of which bangles a
new one inch rope with a moose. This
tee and it is more effective than hum
dred volumes of statutes against crime.
There are many restaurants at Ska
quay but the fare is wretched.
From the latest accounts the terrors
of the Skaguay trail seem to have been
deturned from Skaguay on the william
cite says the Skaguay trail is the worst
place he has ever seen. At one point
in the trail horses and mules unless the
pack is evenly balanced lose their foot
ing and are dashed to pieces on the
rocks below.
PurSer H. Skinner of the Willamette
says that only one-tenth of the miners
now at Skaguay and Dyea will get
over the passes and adds, significantly,
will not be because the two passes are
not in condition for travel. Men of skill
and judgment need not make a failure
of the attempt to cross the divide.

Kansas City KarnivaI Krewe to Have
No Rioting This Year

Kansas City, Aug. 26.-The advisory
board of the Karnival Krewe, which
held it's meeting in it's rooms at the
New York Life building yesterday af
ternoon, appointed a committee of five
to wait upon the police board and ask
that 800 extra police be placed upon the
streets the day of it's parade.
The Krewe feels that it has been un-
Sustly blamed for the riotous behavior
of some people on the night of last
years festival.
1t disclaims responsibility for this
because the mayor and police board
were notified that at o'clock all the
privileges granted to the Krewe had
ceased, and after that hour the city
government was in charge. The oc-
currence win not be repeated this year.

London, Aug. 26.-It is a curious cir
cumstance that yesterday Mexican dol
lars were quoted at 24d, premium of a
penny over silver This, it is reported, is
due to rumors that India will increase the
import duty on silver, rumors which have
also caused a falling off in Indian pur-
chases of the metal.
AT Bombay and Calcutta the merchants
in some cases are refusing to purchase
without a guarantee against the raising
of the duty. Little credence, however, is

GERMANIA'S PLAN FORMULATED.
How 1t Promises to Reorganize in
the Interest of Those NhO Have
Money Kied Up There.

George G.. Lambert, chairman Of the
Minnesota Savings Bank Deposttors'
association, appointed his COM
mittee last night, pursuant to a reso-
luton adopted at last Thursdays
George c. Lambert, ex-officio chair
man, J. M. Hawthorne, Thos. F. Con-
roy, Geo. w. Burden, Fred H. Harris,
George j. Mitsch and Frank G. Schade.
Mr.. Hawthorne was one Of the pro-
motors Of the new organization, in
which T. =. Conroy, who is also a city
official and a deposition in the insti-
tuition, took a prominent part. Geo.
w. Burden is an old resident and bust
ness man in the city, and one of the
heaviest depositorSN Mr.. Harris is in
the well known mortgage investment
the employ of the Cochran & Walsh,
firm, ana is familiar with land titles
and investments of all kinds. Geo. J.
Mitsch is we'll known in Gem>-a cir
Giles, and Frank c. SChade is a mechanic
at the Omaha sh%es, where q large
number of the boys are creditors of the
bank.
The committee seems to be thorough
ly representative Of the various inter-
ests affected by the failure, and is ex-
pected to give general satisfaction.
The members will be called together
at the first opportunity and will imme-
diately proceed to discharge the duties
imposed upon them. AS soon as their
report is ready the chairman will call
a general meeting Of the .depOsitors to
decide upon plan of action.
Since the depOSitors have taken steps
to inform themselves of the true state
of affairs, the excitement has entirely
subsidized, and passion has given way to
reason.
It is possible that action similar to
that indicated by the depositors of the
other banks may be taken by the
creditors Of the Minnesota Savings
bank. The nominal assets, exclusive of
the valuable charter and stockholders
liability, are given at about $240, 900,
and the liabilities do not exceed $225, 900.
Assuming that the amount realized
from the liability Of the stockholders
would compensate the shrinkage in
the available assets, it would seem
that careful management would yield
a fair return to the creditors.
The G | o e has been unable to OBJ
tain a confirmation of the statement
that Mr.. Bickel, the assignee, was in
debted to the bank. w. F. Bickel de-
MES that his father or himself or any
member Of his family owe the bank a

GERMANIA REORGANIZATION.
Plans on Which 1t Is Proposed to
-. Adjust Things.

AuJuSG THINGS
The officers of the Germaniac bank have per-
fected their plans for reorganization. The
propositions are three in number:
First-To levy an assessment of Is per cent
on the present stockholders and issue new
stock for the amount thus paid in.
Second-Call in and cancel all stock now
outstanding.
Third-The depositors to accept stock in
the reconstructed bank for one-fourth Of their
deposits, and for the balance Of their claims
certificates Of deposits of four equal amounts,
payable in nine fifteen, twenty-one, and twen-
ty-four months respectively. with per cent
interest, said interest payable semi-annually,
special committee consistin of Gustav
Willius, Capt. w. H. Harries and Charles L.
Horst has been appointed for the purpose
of taking immediate steps to carry out the
above plan
The court has granted extension OF time
for the preparation of the schedules, and the
president and assignee have been very busy
in arranging these figures. The schedules are
very voluminous, owing to the fact that the
Germania had a very large clientele, and sew
eraI typewriters are at work putting them in,
shape. Wien prepared they will be submitted
to the inspection Of the depositors, and a
detailed statement presented to the public,
showing the assets and liabilities.
