CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY
Likely TO Occur in the Case of the Newport
National Bank

Cincinnati, Jan. 26.--A sensational fea-
ture has arisen in the settlement of the
affairs of the First National bank of
Newport, which seems 10 involve clash
between the state court and the comp
troller OF the currency
Some Of the depcsitors have filed a suit
asking for the appointment of a receiv-
er, alleging that the directors have aban-
doned the management of the affairs of
the bank and that Cashier Youtzey, who
owes the bank s150,OO0, is disposing Of
his property and giving preference 10
certain creditors. No officer of the bank
appeared 10 oppose the application and
Judge Holm granted it, and, il is said,
will appoint John c. Hodge receiver. By
what means the order of the court will
be enforced is not made apparent. Re-
ceiyer Wiltshire, appointed by Comptrol
Ter Eckles, is still In possession.

GENERAL SWAYNE AGAIN
Appears Before the House Conn ittee on
Commerce. and Talks Cable.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The Pacific ca
bic question was considered again today
by the house committee on commerce.
General Wagner Swayne, of the Pacific
Gable company OF New Jersey, replied
to some of the statements recently made
by James L. Scrymser, Of the New York
company, that the Spalding company is
under British influence.
General Swayne said that any cable
company organized necessarily would
have majority Of its work acquired by
British capitalists, and its cable would
be made in England. Congress could
legislate in any bill for a cable. against
discrimination. and could specify the
rates to be charged.

wHlr CHICAGO CAN EypECr.

Chicago can do big things, but she has task before her that will tax all the skill and power she has when it be- comes pressing. In about three thou sand years she will be destroyed by water unless she can head off the de- struction. Professor Spencer says so, and his prediction Is based on the fact that there is a gradual upward tilting of the earth's crust at the northwest, which was the cause of the closing of the Ontario basin. By data showing that the shore line of the lakes is changing and the waters are gradually rising at the rate of about an inch in ten years to the southwest he demon strates that the whole lake region is being tilted in that direction. He says this would seem of trifling importance. but it is really a serious matter for Chicago, because that city stands on a low plain. The work of cutting the Chicago drainage canal is 8 mere an- ticipation of nature, for the tilting of the lake basin would have produced the same result in less than a thou sand years. Professor Spencer demon- strates by figures that at one time the Erie basin emptied, not by the Niagara river, but by a buried valley, directly into the head of Lake Ontario, and that Niagara river and falls are mod ern features. He also shows that the gorge near the falls is eating its way backward at the rate of over a foot a year. and that in the course of a few lifetimes it will wipe itself out. He says that the calamity which will bury all lower Michigan and make broad river through Illinois will not occur un- til 1897.
 Poor Chicago! Did she get up out of ashes only to be drowned?
