laria in tho camps than was to be ex-
pected. This is for the most part due to
the habits of the men.

PAID TWELVE PER CENT DIVIDENDS.
Failure of Bank which Was Getting Rich
Too Fast.

Pittsburg, Pa, October 19.-Notwith-
standing the rumors that have been af1oat
for some time concerning the finan cial
straits of German National bank OF TINS
city the announcement this morning
that tina It bank had gone into voluntary
liouidation caused great surprise and
many depositors hurried to the panK
to find the doors closed. Outside La small
crowd assembled, but there was no exolte-
ment. The suspension OF the bank CAL
be traced directly to two causes the car
ryying of too many securities of tne
Natalie Coal & Coke Co.. and large loans
on insufficient collateral. Preslden1
Grietzinger of the bank has had INA anclai
troubles, it is said, which were caused
principally by the failure of Munson Belt
ing company of Chicago last week. Other
heavy losses are said to have been sus-
tanned, but it was supposed that the large
personal wealth of the family would en-
able the firm 20 tide over the difficulties.
It is said that some time ago the Griet-
Fingers were awarded q contract for many
Thousand shoe soles by eastern firms, but

the beginning of the present year its cap
ital stock was $3.50, 600, surplus $500, coo.
Last year it was paying dividends at the
rate Of IL per cent per annum and since
its organization has paid nearly million
dollars in dividends. Since Cashier
Burgdof's g sudden retirement few weeks
ago the former assistant cashier, j. H.

about the banks affairs never subsided

CoMMIssIoN TO BE INFORMED
PRINCE HENRY WILL SEE EN-
PEROR.

London, October 19.-The Globe this
afternoon publishes dispatch from
Shanghai saying that Prince Henry of
Prussia is returning to Pekin in order
to demand an audience with the En-
peror.
The dispatch adds that an intimate
friend of the reformer Kang Yuwei,
named Richard, a resident Of Pekin, i'll
an interview, has affirmed that though
the Emperor is not dead, he is in the
greatest danger. Richard also urged the
immediate action to restore the Emperor
to power, pointing out that there is now
q unique opportunity Tor suppressing
the Dowager Empress's faction, clearing
the way for substantial progress and for
the establishments of British prestige.
CONDITION OF CHINESE EMPEROR
Pekin, October 49, delayed IN trans
mission)-lt was at the suggestion OF the
British minister, Sir Claude M. MacDon-
aid. that the Chinese foreign office re-
ouested the physician attached to the
French legation to examine the Emperor,
the reason assigned for this step being
that this physician was the only one
officially attached to a legation. The
examination of the Emperor by foreign
doctor is an innovation. 1t has often been
urged but always teen refused by the
Emperor himsslf, and the Dowager En-
press has evidently taken this step ter
the purpose of silencing rurnors as to the
Emperor's condition.
The physician who visited the Emperor
this (Tuesday) morning, made minute
examination of His Majesty in the pres
ence of the Dowager Empress. Prince
Ching and O. number of mandarins. Ex-
act details as to the precise disease from
which the Emperor is suffering were not
obtainable. but he is weak ana requires
constant care. he was in no immediate
danger, was cheerful and showed the
utmost Difference to the Dowager En-
press. The doctor promised to send his
majesty prescription.
