HELENA BANK CLOSED.
The Merchants National Suspends, to the
Surprise of Everyone.


Surprise of Everyone.
HELENA, Mont, Feb. 15.-The Mer-
chants National bank failed to open
its doors this morning, and a few min
utes after 10 o'clock notice was posted
that persistent and relentless with
drawais had largely reduced the bank IS
available resources, and to better pro-
tect d d.positors the directors deemed it
advisable to order suspension of bus
mess for the time.
The suspension was a great surprise
to the Helena public, as the bank was
considered exceptionally strong and
conservatively managed.
The last report of the bank, pub
lished December II, showed deposits
of 81 $50, 200, loans of 81, 100000 and
cash and exchange S463,OoO. The
capital stock was $3.50, 900 and the
surplus S126,GOO.
L. Fl. Hershfeld, president, is the
oldest and one of the most noted bank
ers in the state, the firm of Hershfield
& Bros. having been established in
Helena in 1865. He is chairman of the
state Republican committee. He had
always been considered Il sound fnan

WASHINGTON, Feb 15-At the last
meeting of the house banking and cur

Kansas, pronounced gold standard
Republican, spoke against bill to in
corporate the International American
bank with Cornelius Bliss, Andrew
Carnegie. 2. ID. Armour and ten other
millionaires as incorporators, eight
branch banks to be established in
other countries.
Among other things Mr.. Calderhead
said The whole United States is in a
condition Of unrest. The under half
of the country believes that it is in
jured. and injured largely by the
power of aggregated wealth. They
actually believe it. They believe it to
such an extent that large areas of the
country need nothing but a leader of
ability to give us an insurrection.
That is the truth. and that is the po-
'litical storm that will follow any at
tempt, direct or indirect, to incorporate
the men named here into private
bank. with a capital of millions Of dol
lars, and the plea that it is done for the
benefit of International commerce will
not answer that mob-for it is a mob
which only needs commanding gen.
eral to lead it. If the leader should
happen to have the military instinct it
would mean civil war"
The speech was taken as warning
to the east. and was marveled at the
more because of the speakers politics.
and there was "a sensation in the COM
mittee room.

WAsHIGGToN, Feb. lo Philip Neil
hone, son of the late j. j. McElhone,
for years official reporter of the house
of representatives, and Lewis W. Tur-
ner, both employees of the congress
ional library, have been arrested by
secret service officers, charged with
the larceny of autograph letters from

innocence and were held by the United
States commissioner under So, 900 bonds
for examination.
The arrests were the result of let
ter of inquiry from IL New York auto
graph dealer, who stated that he had
bought certain historical autograph
letters and was offered more, but had
become suspicious lest they might
have been abstracted from government
files. An investigation by Librarian
Spofford disclosed that many letters
were missing from the diary of George
Washington for 1887, the wear of the
constitutional convention, and letters
of j Johp Hancock and Ben iamin Arnold.

MELTED MAJESTY"
An Incident of the Declaration of
Independence.
BY CHARLES l.. sHIPLEY.

1t was during the occupation of New York
by the Continental forces under Washington,
that the Congress at Philadelphia issued the
Declaration Of independence. A copy of the
document was Immediately forwarded to the
Commander-in-C Chief, with instructions to
have it read to the several brigades of the
army. 1t was received on the 9th of July,
and the same evening, at o'clock, the
brigades were formed in hollow square on
their respective parade grounds, to hear the
decisive action taken by Congress. General
Washington was within one of the squares on
horseback, surrounded by his staff, while one
of his aides read the declaration. This square
was formed on the grounds of the present City
Hall Park, between the City Hall and the
new Postoffice building. The soldiers sealed
their approval of the step by giving three
hearty cheers.
The occasion was made still more joyful
aud notable by the release from prison of all
poor debtors Among the spectators who
listened to the new political departure was
Captain Isaac Sears, accompanied by party
of friends on horseback The simple cere-
mony at headquarters must have made deep
impression on them, but it was not enough
