THE HOUSE PASSES SEVERAL BILLS
Sale of Intoxicating Drinks to In
IiNns.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The attendance
In the house today was light, dull ses
sion being anticipated. An arrangement
had been made whereby the day would
be given to business reported by the COM
mittee on District of Columbia. There
was first a general call of committees.
From the committee on Indian affairs
bill to prohibit the sale of intoxicating
drinks to Indians was called up and oc-
casioned some debate. The bill imposes
a fine of $100 and imprisonment for GO
days upon any person who shall sell
intoxicating liquors of any kind whatever
to any Indian to whom allotment of land
has not been made, while title is held in
trust by the government. Maddox. dem
ocrat, of Georgia. argued the bill was
unconstitutional. The bill passed, 50 to %.
Mr.. Henderson submitted a resolution,
which was adopted, setting aside tomor-
row for the consideration of private pen
sion bills and limiting the debate on each
bill to 10 minutes.
The bill to amend the patent laws was
called up by Mr. Draper of Massachu-
setts who explained that it had been
prepared by committee appointed by
the American Bar Association to urge d
revision of the patent laws. None of the
radical character, he said but We're those
making a foreign patent two years old
unpatentable in this country, placing q
general limitation of six wears on patents
and empowering the commissioner OF
patents. if he has reason to believe that
an applicant is not prosecuting his claim

THE KENTUCKY BANKS
NEWPORT HAS ONE FAILURE AND
LOUISVILLE ANOTHER.
President of the Louisville Bank
Says the DeDositOrs Will he
Paid in Full.

| Newport, KY, Jan. 18.-The First Ma
tional bank closed this morning. Heavy
investments in real estate is said to be
the cause.
The failure Of the First National Bank
OF Kentucky to open this morning was 8
surprise to the business men of the city
While statement was given out by the
offlcerS that no one would lose anything
there all sorts of rumors flying about
Fortunately the integrity of the officers
is such that no suggestion of Wrong-do
ing has found credence.
The first evidence of weakness was the
refusal of the officers to pay Saturday
afternoon $4,000 to the treasurer of the
Bellevue school board, which he recently
deposited, and had since been advised to
draw out.
Cashier T. B. Youtsey has been with
the bank since it's organization in 1879.
The capital stock is $200,000 The presi-
dent is John Trapp; vice president, Jo-
seph Wright.
President Trapp, who was elected last
fall in place of Henry Gunkle, who re-
tired on account of advanced years, is a
resident of Dayton, KY, and one of the
Wealthest men in the county.
George Youtsey, brother of the cashier,
assigned individually to the Covington
Trust Company. The Standard Carriage
supply Company, of which George Yout-
Sey was president, also assigned to the
Covington Trust Company. The capital
stock of the Standard Co. is $4,000. The
assets and liabilities of the Standard
Company and George Youtsey individu-
ally are not given.
The directors were in session all day
Saturday on which day the bank opened
with only $500 in it's vault. At that meet
ing Cashier Youtsey resigned, and his
resignation was promptly accepted. The
banks in Covington agreed Saturday to
loan the bank 100000, but later the prop
osition was declared off.
Directors Gunkle, John Griese, j. f..
McCracken, George Youtsey, Charles
Spinks, j. A. Winter, John Trapp, Chas.
Weidemann and Joseph Wright all Off
cred to give their individual endorsement
for $250,000 liabilities, but the cash could
not be secured.
Cause of the Failure.
Cincinnati Jan. 1S.-No excitement was
created in Cincinnati by the Newport
bank failure. Most of the banks here
claim to have known that the bank
has been in Strengthened conditions for
some time. 1t is said that President
John Trapp, who was elected president
of the failure, and can not be seen. The
cashier is also indisposed, and in fact
none of the officers can be seen.
Mr.. Trapp is said to have a deposit
of $4,000 in the bank, to hold $11 900 OF
stock, and to be indorser for Cashier
4outsey to the amount of 100000. Con-
gressman Berry has also a large inter
est in the bank, being interested with
the cashier in land company. 1t is
charged that heavy loans to Youtsey
are among the causes of the failure.

COLD AND EMPTY HONOR FOR HILL
Five Democrats ROlted the Demo-
cratic Caucus. r.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 18.-Three demo-
| cratic senators and two assemblymen to-
| night bolted the caucus called to nomiri-
ate successor to David B. Hill for
United States senator. OF those who re-
NAMED S6 voted for David B. Hill, three
for Wilbur E. Porter of Watertown and
two for Robert G. Titus of Buffalo The
| five who voted against Senator Hill in
the caucus will vote for him on the bal
lot tomorrow
AFTER the caucus was called to order,
senator Guy rose and said: During the
recent campaign, while not approving of
some of the features of the Chicago plat
form, believed 1t my duty to Loyalty
support the presidential candidate of the
democratic party because I knew him to
De an intelligent upright and honorable
man, and because I felt that the demo-
cratic party, more truly than Its oppon-
ehts represented the best interests of the
great BODY Of people. More than six mil
mons OF voters in the nation and 551 900
IN this state displayed like faith In the
democratic party and it's candidate.
senator Hill, on the contrary, by his
lhactlon and policy of delay, contributed
more than any other single influence to
democratic defeat. To vote for Hill un-
der the circumstances would be, in nv
opllilon, TO rebuke those who were loyal;
10 reward the general that avoided the
eollllct while condemning those brave
soldlers who unfiinchingly faced the foe"
Inc senator's remarks created a serisa-
tloh, and when he finished talking there
was absolute silence for a considerable
length of time
FINALLY Grady offered a resolution IN
strucuhs the secretary to call the roll of
lhe caucus, and as each members name
was called he was to rise In his seat and
name MS choice for senator. Before the
question on this resolution, Senator Me-
Nulty got the floor and said that he
agreed generally with the remarks Of ;,en-
ator Guy, and added that he would not
follow Senator Hill hereafter in either
state or nation;.. issues.
This was the signal for Senators Guy
ana Coffey and Assemblymen Caine and
Zurn to retire from the caucus with Sena-
tor McNulty.
The resolution of Grady was then adopt-
ed and roll call of the caucus was taken,
resulting as already stated After the
vote was announced, several of the lead
ers looked around, appealing for some one
to make the nomination unanimous, but
as the motion was not Forthcoming, the
chair announced that the choice of the
caucus for United States senator was
David B. HILL Even this announcement
did not awaken the slightest applause.

LEADERS BROUGHT TOGETHER.
But No Agreement Reached in the
LeadvilIe Strike.

| Leadville, Col, Jan. Ex-Governor Ad-
| ans has now spent four days here ascer-
| tanning the true inwardness of the la
| Dor situation, and today brought the
| leaders on both sides together and Sc

IN progress, there is little prospect of an
amicable adjustment being reached.
A large number Of mine managers ar
rived from Denver this morning, headed
by David H. Moffatt, president of the
First National bank of Denver, who is
probably more heavily interested in mines
than any other man in the state. These
gentlemen, with all the managers in the
city, met Governor Adams at $3.50 this
morning and had lengthy conference,
which was adjourned a noon until 1:3O
p. m. when a proposition was submitted
by an executive committee from the
Western Federation of Miners one of the
local unions Of engineers, miners union
ana pumpmen and the blacksmths un-
ion. This document asked the contilu-
ance of $500 in the mines heretofore pay
ing that; $3.50 in mines heretofore pay
ing $3.50, with an advance predicated on
an advance in silver, fixed wages and
hours of engineers, pumpmen, black
smiths and repairers and also required
the managers to make no discrimination
against men on a strike, except those
convicted Of crime, and not to interfere
with the organization of unions by dis
elimination or otherwise.
This proposition was rejected by a
unanimous vote of the managers, who
then submitted a proposition as follows:
In all mines where the miners wages
are now $3.50 per day the miners shall be
paid $2.75 per day for all calendar months
in which the the average silver quota
tions shall be 10 cents per ounce or less
than 70 cents per ounce, and So per day
for all calendar months in which the
average silver quotation shall be Is cents
per ounce or over.
The managers placed this in the hands
of the governor and authorized their eX-
ecutive committee to continue the ne
Eotiations with full power.
The proposition of the managers was
refused by the representatives of the
miners and they then withdrew all offers
and left the governor After further con-
ference with the managers, the governor
sent for President Boyce and e. Y. Debs
and for two hours the executive commit
tee of the managers and the governor
discussed the situation with them, this
being the first time since the governors
arrival that representatives of the oppos-
ing organizations have been brought to-

LOUISVILLE GERMAN NATIONAL
The President Says the DepositOrs
VIII De Paid in Full.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 1S.-National Bank
Examiner Escott this morning closed the
German National bank. J. M. Mcknight
is president, and the capital stock is
$26l,O 200, with a surplus of S31,000 The
bank is an old one, but for some time has
been regarded as unsafe.
The last statement issued by the bank
December H. 1896, made a very bad show
ing. The 25 per cent rule had been violat-
ed by about per cent. Under the head
of resources it was given out the bank
held OPS in securities, stocks, etc.
This was unsatisfactory as set cetera''
was not considered definite enough.
Since the statement was issued with
drawals had been steady.
President Mcknight was for years
prominently identified with the banking
business and involved in a number of
outside operations.
In signed statement President Nc
Knight says the depositors i'll be paid
in full, and the stockholders will prob
ably reorganiZe the bank.
Examiner Escott, who took charge of
the banks affairs, made the statement
that there has been no run on the bank,
but in view of losses sustained through
injudiciouS loans, Shrinkage of values,
etc, and general loss of business, to-
gether with a lack of confidence in the
management of the bank, the controller

depositors and stockholders to close the
bank and to liquidate it's affairs through
a receiver.
This failure should not create distrust
of any other bank in the city, as they
are all in good condition and strong in
their cash reserves. For some time the
bank has been weak, but there was
nothing in its condition until lately that
warranted closing it. We can not stare
the assets or liabilities, as we have hard
ly got to work, nor can we say more
about the causes of the suspension than
the reasons already given"

Closes It's Doors.
St. Paul, Jan. 18.-The Minnesota State
Savings bank closed this morning and
filed a deed of assignment, naming Will
liam Bickel assignee An affidavit was
filed stating that the assets are about
$3.50, 900, and the liabilities in the neghbor-
hood of $2300O0. The officers of the bank
deemed this step the best way, under the
circumstances, to protect the depostorS.
The recent furry in banking affairs
caused the withdrawal of deposits to such
an extent that although the bank re-
quired 60 days notice. it was unable to
raise enough ready money to meet the de-
mandS.
The Minnesota Savings bank was incor-
porated in 1868 as the Union Savings bank
of Rochester, Minn., by Senator Daniels
OF Rochester and his friends and was op-
Grated in connection with the Union Ma
tional bank of that place. In 1889 the leg
islature passed a law by which such char
ters could be transferred to other places
than where organized, and under it's pro-
visions the Union Savings was purchased
by w. f. Bickle and his associates and its
name changed to the Minnesota Savings
bank and located here. The assignee w
A. Bickle. was the first president of the
bank after its removal to st. Paul.
Though he has had no connection with the
active management of the bank he is IA
miliar with it's business and has the con
| fdence of the depositors. The deed of as
slgnment was executed by the president
of the bank, w. f. Bickle, and the cash
