The collapse of a bank is always
public calamity, the evil consequences
Of which can never be measured in
mere pecuniary loss. 1t requires some
thing besides columns of figures to ad-
equately represent the deplorable re-
suits of such catastrophe as the
wrecking of the Globe Savings Bank of
Chicago. The damage to business in
the resultant loss of confidence In bank
ing institutions and the general demon
aliZation of the credit structure upon
which 80 per cent. Of our transactions
are based cannot be accurately calcu-
lated in figures. The failure Of the
Globe Savings Bank reveals startling
record of official perfidy and dishonor.
Seldom does mere business collapse
disclose such a depth of moral rotten
ness involving such gross betrayals of
trusts that men ordinarily hold sacred.
The story of the wreck is black with
the most corrupt political jobbery. The
deeper 1t is probed the more offensive
honest men. The State of Illinois
should PROBE the analr TO the bottom 10
the end that the blame for the deplora-
BILE condition of affairs may be placed
where it belongs and the culpable par.
ties severely punished. The interests
of honest banking, the interests Of the
State institutions whose funds were
jeopardized, and the rights of those
whose savings were engulfed in the
maelstrom Of political jobbery and
criminal peculation, all demand that
the investigation be made rigidly and
promptly. The people desire to know
If they have any protection In law from
such fragrant betrayals of trust by
| those who have committed to them the
savings of the poor and the funds OF
State institutions.

Washington Well Fortified

In view of the fact that the national
capital was once taken and burned by
foreign enemy, it is reassuring to
know that a calamity so humiliating is
not likely to occur again, even in case
of sudden war.
Washington is the best defended city
in the country. A hostile fleet could
not now ascend the Potomac, as was
done in 1914, when President Madison
and his wife were compelled to make
a hurried escape across the Potomac to
avoid capture by the British.
For military and prudential reasons
little has been allowed to be made
known concerning the new works and
the heavy ordnance recently installed
below the city; but for the past two
years engineers have been busy at the
river forts. Some very formidable
guns are now in position there, and a
system Of torpedo defenses perfected
which would render the approach of an
enemy's warships, within twelve miles
of Washington, practically impossible.
The defensive works are located at
the ''elbow," or turn, of the Potomac
where old Forts Washington and Sheri-
dan stood, and where at one point the
channel for vessels Of deep draught Is
but 800 yards wide.
The guns are protected on the water
side by emplacement walls of stone
and concrete seventy feet thick, and on
the land side by redoubts for infantry.
The rapidly increasing wealth and
Importance of Washington, the grand
new public buildings and the vast sums
Of money and bullion in the treasury
render these protective and defensive
measures a matter of national import.

WORRIED BY FAMILY TROUBLES.
NihOul Took Strychnine as Well as
Shot Himself.


Oakesdale. Wash, June IA report has
reached this city from Pine City that
Leonard Nihoul, a former resident of that
place, committed suicide there Saturday
morning. The following particulars con-
corning his tragic death were learned
from parties living in the vicinity of Pine
City, who report that while living at that
place he was known as an Industrious
and Woodworking citizen. He was pro-
prietor of a blacksmith shop there for
two or three years.
About four years ago one of his child
rem was accidentally killed. That fatal
ity crazed the mother and she committed
suicide, being buried at that place. The
husband shortly after this closed his shop
and moved to Spokane.
Nothing was heard from him until last
Friday, when he returned to his old home,
procured shovel and went to the grave
of his wife and dug down until he reach
ed the coffin. Then he took a dose of
strychnine and shot himself through the
head with a 80 caliber revolver his body
falling into the newly excavated grave.
He was found Saturday afternoon and a
coroner's inquest being held the same day
a verdict of suicide was rendered. His
remains were placed beside those of his
wife and children in the Pine City ceme-
terry Sunday afternoon.

GETS SIX MONTHS DELAY.
Leave Granted to Appeal to the
United States Supreme Cnurt
for those who find it.

San Francisco, June 4.-The attor-
neys for Theodore Durrant again APP
peared before Judge Gilbert in the Unit
ed states court yesterday and ap-
piled for writ of supersedeas for the
purpose of staying the execution of the
sentence, but this was denied by the
court. An application for leave to ap-
peal from this decision to the supreme
court of the United States was then
made and granted. Although it is an
open question whether, in view of the
denial or the writ of supersedeas this
order of the court acts as a stay of nro-
ceedings, Attorney General Fitz wired
to Warden Hale to take no action in
the premises pending the appeal. AS
the United States supreme court does
not meet again until October next, this
virtually means respite of six months
at least.

prospectinu Nenr Nelson.

There were Alb new mineral locations
filed for record in Nelson, B. c., from
May 1 to %, inclusive. Calculated at
so acres to a location, over 10000 acres
of land are represented by the filings.
The hills around Nelson are swarming
with prospectors who are branching
out In all directions. A majority of the
locations recorded so far have been in
the Wild Horse or Quartz creek dis
trict, and Immediately adjacent to Nell
son. A number of claims have been
staked on Toad mountain, and the To-
Gators say that they have good ground,
although it was previously thought of
as being thoroughly prospected. On
both sides of Kootenay river from Nell
son down to Robson many new loca-
tons have been made, particularly in
the neighborhood of Queen Victoria.

Greenwood Camn.

The Greenwood camp in the Boun-
dairy creek district is distinctly a cop
per-gold camp, the copper existing as
chalcopyrite. THE lodges are large.
varying in width from few feet to rs
and 100 feet" said recent experts re-
port on the camp. 1.-THE gangue stuff
as rule consists of lime, talcose
inschist, silica and iron. In some cases
the veins are capped with iron. occur
ring in some instances as hematite and
in others as magnetic. Upon these
caps being pierced the veins proper are
exposed. These as a rule carry from
to Is per cent copper. and approx
mately 81 gold to each per cent of
copper. In some of the Greenwood
properties ore of a much higher grade
is found-assays of from SIS to $50 gold
being not unusual-and silver also &C.
ours in value from trace to 20 ounces.
The greatest depth reached in this
camp is 100 feet, on the Stemwinder

Dakota during the calendar year 1896 and
finds 1t to have been 1854 fine ounces.
This is gain over 1895 of 1925 ounces,
and places South Dakota third in the list
of gold-producing states. Director Pres
ton expresses the belief that if the pres
ent rate of gold production continues
through the year the total output for 1897
will reach 100000, which would be
gain over last year of $7,000.O0O.
