Appointments of Receiver May Cause a
Panic.
Boston, Mass, Dec. 21.-The news that
a receiver had been appointed for the
Globe National bank has taken this
city by surprise. While the bank was
known to have been in distress 10 days
ago over the decline in copper special
ties chiefly the United States NJ ming
company, it was thought the crisis had
passed. This was borne out to all ex-
ternal appearances in the market by
the reassuring tone Of dealings the past
few days. The Boston clearing house
came to the assistance of the Globe
bank, although when the Broadway
National bank later was in trouble the
same body declined to offer assistance.
Three days ago it was officially stated
that the clearing house committee had
certificates signed to a large amount
to revive any solvent bank should pres
sure come upon 1t. For this reason the
situation in financial circles here to-
morrow is hardly likely to be seriously
affected by the Globe bank receiver
ship.

tempted to protect themselves and at
tachments have been filed against the
promoters of the United States Mining
company. Charles II. Cole, late presi-
dent of the Globe bank, William H.
Coolidge and Edward Fl. Clark.
The action of the comptroller in wait
ing a reasonable time for the guaranty
20 be made good regarding the assets
of the bank is generally acknowledged
to have been very generous on his part
and indicated a desire to assist as
much as possible, and it is generally
agreed that If the bank had been
closed last week severe panic would
have ensued, which would have I'M
doubtedly carried down other stocks
and wrecked many strong institutions.
During the past week the withdraw
ais from the bank have been exceed
lngly heavy, amounting, it Is said, to
more than S2,000000 in deposits.

pated at the opening of the stock ex-

Won't Fight CARNEGIE,

New York Dec. 21.-The Tribune
says: The conferences concerning the
future organization and operation of
the Carnegie Steel company are said
to be concluded for the present with
everything settled. While neither Mr.
Carnegie nor Mr.. Frick will t, TX about
the situation, 1t was learned from a
trustworthy source that there is little
likelihood of Mr.. Tricks starting in to
organize a company to fight the Car
negie company. Mr.. Tricks interests,
SO this authority said, are so deeply
connected with the Carnegie company
that for him to do anything to hurt
that company would work him great
harm. The Carnegie people are said to
be aware of this, and while they know
that Mr.. Frick is irrita ted and disap-
pointed just now, they think he will
come around all right and join with
Mr.. Carnegie and others as a consult
ing partner. There is plan under dis
cussion, so it Is said, to abolish the
Office of chairman and allow the office
to die with Mr.. Frick. Instead anoth-
er office similar in character, but bear
ing another name, will be created. H.
w. Oliver of Pittsburg has been named
as likely to take charge when Mr..
Frck steps aside. No confirmation of
this could be secured here, but it was
said that formal announcement would
be made in time in Pittsburg.

one steer not belonging to them was in

Washington. Oct 20 A striking
illustration of the blunders which the
most able and brilliant men who are
unused to the conduct Of public affairs
may make is disclosed in the recent ex-
perience 81 Ambassador Choate.
Cnoate, until now, has never held pub
lie cfii1e aud Therefore knows little or
nothing concerning the necessity OF
reticence and discretion in the discus
sion Of international affairs.
Ohoate has always been favored
dinner table guest When he went TO
England his reputation preceded him
and he soon became as much OF star
in London as In New York or Washing
ton Net one Of his predecessors had
more invitations to dinners, banqueis
aud the like The Hear Hears -
which punctuated the reports of his
speeches in the London papers made
the latter dinner English speech
makers pale with envy.
La his inexperience and the fascina-
tions Of the surroundings Mr. Choate
has more than once been guilty Of COM
menting on diplomatic subjects in a
very undiplomatic style. He has man.
aged to put his own country in an awk.
ward, although, of course, not at all
serious, position by certain illusions
to the Venezuelan boundary line.
Since then, the American Ambassador
has declined all banquet invitations,
in several cases, according to the re-
ports. causing just little irritation to
his would be hosts.
The has been no eff }ial statement
to that effect, but 1t is generally IN.
derstood Mr.. Ohoate received sugges.
tion from the State Department, in
diplomatic but not the less positive
terms, that it would be best to put a
bride upon his tongue. 1t is inferred
Ohoate is apprehensive Of trusting him
self for the future or he would not de-
cline such delightful invitations.
