STOCKTON, Feb. 5.-The condition
of the rivers and channels about the
city O-night maye be termed tantaliz-
ing Within the city limits of Stockton
Mornpn and Miner channels are at
high-vater mark, and three inches
more Will precipitate damage and loss.
The movement of the water is a slow
rise. which, if continued, will cause the
inundator of the lower districts of the
city b. noon tomorrow. SO far it has
only got into the southwestern part %
the city, including the mill district.
About Linden the water is very high.
and north of that town there is a vast
sheet of water. At points on Mormon
channel there have been breaks, and
the wheat fields in the lower districts
are flooded. The San Joaquin and Mo-
kelunme Rivers are running like mill
races and slowly rising.
The only question tonight is whether
the water from the upper districts has
all been delivered. The reported heavy
fall in the foothills is the cause of APP
prehension. The streams might carry
away the present volume, but if the up
per streams send down a few inches
there Will be trouble before morning.
Much apprehension is felt on the re-
claimed islands, where vast fortunes in
wheat are ait stake.

BANK FAILURE IN MONTANA.
THE NORTHWESTERN NATIONAL
GOES TO THE WALL.
Directors Charge That 1t is Due to a
DefaICatiOn on the Part of the
Cashier.

GREAT FALLS (Mont), Feb. 1.-The
Northwestern Bank, one of the oldest
institutions in the State, posted notice
announcing its suspension this morn
ing. The Board of Directors and officers
charge that the trouble is due to a de-
falcation on the part Of the cashier,
Benton d. Hatcher. of S1S0000.
The Comptroller Of the Currency has
wired Louis c. Phelps to take temporary
charge of the bank, pending the arrival
Of the Examiner. The assets Of the in
stitution are given out by the directors
as S150,000; liabilities of about equal
amount.
Cashier Hatcher Is lying Frustrated at
his home here. All day long he refused
to say anything for publication.
The charges made by the Board of
Directors are Of a sensational character.
1t is believed, however that in the
wrecking Of the bank more than Cashier
Hatcher are implicated. On December
18th the Conrad Brothers, who organ
ICED the bank in the early eighties, Of
fered their stock. amounting to $780,
600, for sale, as they were retiring from
active business. The entire holding
informed the directors of the bank that
he had friends in Boston who wanted to
purchase the stock Mr.. Hatcher went
East in December, and on his return in
formed the directors that he had sold
the stock to his friends. The correspon-
dent Of the Northwestern in the East
is the Globe National Bank of Boston
Cashier Hatcher. it is alleged being
unable to dispose Of the stock as he had
agreed to do, drew from the Globe Ma
tional Bank the amount of the pur-
chase Of the stock. S1S0,000 This was
over a month ago, and no suspicion of
where the money came from was enter
tanned until just before a mortgage for
reorganization was received January
18th. An investigator was put on foot,
but no knowledge of it was published
by the officers or directors here until the
arrival Of President James A Coram Of
Boston last night. He at once called a
meeting of the directors. and for the
first time it was known that the Globe
National Bank did not have on deposit
the amount reported by the Northwest
ern books here $4,000.
The directors decided to suspend. and
that effect
Cashier Hatcher charges that he drew
the money from the Globe National at
the direction of President Coram, who
had. with other friends, agreed to take
up the stock sold by the Conrads and re-
imburse the draft from the Globe Ma
tional He also says that President
Coram called at his home this morning
and assured him that he had perfect
confidence in his honesty.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-In letter
to the Secretary of the Treasury which
has been transmitted to Congress,
Postmaster General Wilson recon-
mends an appropriation of S200,OOO to
cover the expense of the meeting of the
congress of nations, composing the pos

two months.
Mr.. Wilson says that he has no way
of itemizing the cost of the congress,
but thinks that 100000 might cover
the expense. He says that distinguish
ed representatives of foreign nations,
including Postnaster-G Generals of those
nations. will be present, and that he
considers it the duty of this country
to provide for the congress in suitable
style He mentioned the fact that at
other sessions of the congress the dele
gates have been entertained by the
rulers of the countries. and that moth
ing which could be done for the dele
gates heretofore has been left undone.

McKenna has no idea, he says, who will

cult Court bench. He will not resign the
latter place until after the Inaugural
ton, and may perhaps not go to Wash

WRECKED FISHERMEN.
CASTAWAYS AR

All Had Terrible Experiences to Re-
late While Off the Coast of
Nova Scotia.

BOSTON (Mass.), Feb. ). - Thirty
three fishermen, the crews Of the Glou-
cester fishing schooners Neried, Yosem-
tie, Maggie and Mary, wrecked on the
Nova Scotian Coast in last weeks gale
have been brought here by the steamer
Boston from Yarmouth, n. S. All had
terrible experiences to relate, but the
four survivors of the Yosemite who are
of the number suffered by far the
worst, and they owed their lives to
wonderful luck and most fearless act
of their mate.
The Yosemite grounded close to Ram S
Island rock, near Little Harbor, in
Thursdays gale.
The foremost fell with a crash, the
top resting on the rock, thus making a
bridge for the men to climb onto the
rock before the vessel went to pieces.
The mast in falling struck one of the
srew. John Finlander, breaking both
legs and causing internal injuries.
Captain h John McKennon. the skip
per, had one leg broken, and the crew
was obliged to help him and Finlander
over the mast. The gale was furious
one and the cold was intense, but the
crew was obliged to remain exposed
for twenty hours, when the mate, Pat
rick Ross, took a line in his hand and
plunged into the sea. 1t was fearless
act but it was the only alternative, as
Finlander had died from exposure and
the Captain was likely to meet the
same fate Mate Ross, however, sue
ceeded in swimming through a danger

began hauling his shipmates to safety
by means of the line. When the crew,
including Captain McKennon had

wet and suffering greatly from the
cold. They secured shelter in a num-
Der of fishermen's huts and remained
there until next day, when the. inhabk
tants of Shelburn went to their rescue.

ARBITRATION TREATY.

purpose of taking up the arbitration
treaty. 1t is expected that the motion
will be antagonized by those who desire

Very anxious to secure recognition.
There is no general opposition to de

some of those who are disposed to sup
port it are inclined to WAIVER. because it
will, if taken up. dispIace other meas
ures in which they are interested.
While the silver Senators deny that
as such they are opposing the treaty.
Liz AetSC iCSihCd Out to-OdS lIldt at lllS
meeting last Saturday Senator Daniel
raised the point that in case the United
States should adopt the free coinage of
silver, England would have claim
under the treaty for the difference be-
tween the principal and interest of the
American debts held in England under
the new system with a double standard
and under the DID, and under the pres
ent system with a single standard 1t
was suggested that if this question
should become the subject of arbitration
it would lead to many complications.
While the Senator did not contend that
such would be the case, he argued that
the possibility was one which deserved
serious consideration.
