LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 14.-Presldent H.
D. Ormsby. of the Kentucky Trust Com

the company to the board of trustees to-
morrow. and it is predicted that not only
will the report show the company is IN
financial straits, but that the president will
recommend that an assignment be made at
once so that all of the creditors of the
concern viii be treated alike. That the
company has not made an assignment be
fore this has been a matter of considerable
discussion among bankers and business men
generally. The assignment was foreshad-
owed this morning, however, when Presi-
dent Ormshy gave his orders to employees
of the company that no money should be
paid out to any one and no money received,
unless it was in payment of money due the
company. AS consequence, every one cali
ing for the money they had on deposit was
informed of the orders and that the COM
pany would not pay anything until 1t was
learned how matters stood
When asked this afternoon if the COM

continue. He also added that there was no
hope of paying out dollar for dollar. Fur

holding of the national convention of the
reunited organizations. This is in accord

reached the conclusion that a neutral
ground should be selected. and he therefore
named Trenton as the convention city.

ties it is understood Chairman Jones, of the

with a view of securing common action by
the three organizations in the political con-
test of 1898. The draft of the document is
now in the course of preparation. 1t will

of silver to work in union and to avoid rival
organizations by which their common
strength will be diSsipated.
The talks among the silver men continued

n formal conference. Chairman Towne had
returned from the contest at Columbus,
where he assisted in the opposition to Mr..
Hanna. He was about the House of Rep
resantatives talking with Representative
Bland and other silver opponents. The feel
ing developed was generally i'm favor of
common action among all the silver ele-
nents. Messrs. Jones. Butler and Towne
sTill confer further during the next few
days and the address will then he made
public. On the 18th inst. the American BIZ
metallic Union. of which General Warner,
of Ohio, is president. holds its meeting here.
and this is expected to give further cohesion
10 the joint silver movement.
