BOSTON IS STARTLED
BY BANKS DISTRESS
Feared That There Will Be FURRY
In Copper Today.

Boston, Dec. 21.-The news that a re-
ceiver had been appointed for the
| Globe National bank has taken this
city by surprise. While the bank was
known to have been in distress ten
days ago, presumably over the decline
in copper Specialties, chiefly United
States Mining company ii was thought
the crisis had passed. This was borne
out to all external appearances in the
| market by the reassuring tone of deal
ings the past few days.
The Boston clearing house came to
the assistance of the Globe bank, al
though 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 GER
tificates signed to a large amount to
revive any solvent bank should press
ure come upon it. For this reason the
situation in financial circles here to-
morrow is hardly likely TO be seriously
affected by the Globe bank receivership.
President II. H. Stevens, who sue
ceeded Charles II. Cole some months
ago. absolutely refused to say any
thing regarding the comptrollerS ac-
ton.
Calm Follows Storm.
The calm that followed the storm of
Saturday and the failure of the Broad
way bank had been taken in financial
circles as one of reinsurance and hope,
and it was the universal opinion that
the furry in copper stocks had passed.
The closing of the Globe bank. there
fore, seemed most discouraging, and
there were few persons who did not
intimate that tomorrow would be even
a worse day than last Saturday.
Others, however, were of the opinion
that the failure of the Globe bank had
been so far discounted and provided
for. at least among conservative finan-
ciers, that it would have little effect
upon local stocks and that by concert
ed action and the strong backing of the
clearing house any further gale in To-
cal stocks would be weathered with
comparative ease.
Nevertheless, the failure is one of the
most startling and far-reaching since
the closing of the Maverick bank eight
years ago, and as it intimately involv-
ed the value of Boston's pet copper
stocks. the outcome tomorrow is anx-
iously awaited.
Difficulties of Bank.
The bank has been in difficulty for
some months, in fact, ever since tha
resignation of Charles H. Cole. for
many years its president Mr. Coles
retirement Cdustu a SeiSdtiou dt the
time. for it was known that he was
heavily interested in the copper COM
bine known as the United States Mining
One of the directors. n. H. Stevens,
was elected to fill the position of presil
dent, and since then has done every
thing possible to keep the bank from
going under. Every known method was
to keep up the tone of the mar
ket in copper shares, and it was ex-
pected that the bank would gradually
be able to realize on a greater part of
the loans on these stocks without loss.

the great decline in all stocks, how
ever, carried down the coppers, and
last Tuesday the bank was forced to
call upon the clearing house for assist
ance- After a consultation the clearing
house came TO the rescue and issued
100000 in certificates to enable the
Globe to meet its Indebtedness to other
banks.
The action of the clearing house was
generally regarded as timely, although
there was much surprise expressed
when, two days later, the clearing
house refused to rescue the Broadway
bank from the hands of a receiver.
Brokers' Firm Facts.
On Monday came the failure of the
brokerage firm that financed the min
ing company, but no other followed,
and as the Globe bank gave no inten-
tion of succumbing through the bad
fall in copper stocks, confidence in the
local situation seemed in fair way
of being restored.
Whether the old wound. will be OPEN
ed again tomorrow remains to be seen.
but ii is known that every effort will
be made on the part of strong financial
institutions to avert a panic. Upon their
success depends the status of many
brokerage houses which have been car
rying over Christmas heavy blocks of
copper SlOchS. "A lew OF lnOSe nOttSSet
have already attempted to project
themselves, and attachments have besn
filed against the promoters of the Unit
ed States Mining company, Charles H.
Cole. late president of the Globe bank,
William H. Coolidge and Edward H.
Clark.
Action of Comptroller.
The action of the comptroller in wait
ing a reasonable time for the guaranty
to 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 gener-
ally agreed that if the bank had been
closed last week severe panic would
have ensued. which would have un-
doubtedly carried down other stocks
and wrecked many strong institutions.
During the past week the withdraw
ais from the bank have been exceeding
ly heavy, amounting, it is said, to over
S2,000,000 in deposits.
A furry in copper stocks is antici-
pated at the opening of BE stock ex-
change tomorrow morning.

Il have carefully read the foregoing
account of the origin of the old plank
as adopted by the Republican conven-
ton at St. Louis in 1896. and l find it
correct In addition to the facts brought
out in it, / wish to add that other Re
publicans were earnest and influential
in their advocacy of a gold declaration,
among them Robert w. Patterson, the
Illinois member of the committee on
resolutions

THE foregoing statement accords
with my recollection of the facts The
copy of the resolution referred to was
given to me, and / submitted it to the

Senator Proctor's Version.

Il was consulted about the nnancldi
plank of the St. Louis platform by Mr..
Payne and othars. five or six days pre-
vious to the meeting of the convention.
l remember the conference which took
place Friday morning in one of Mr..
Hanna's rooms at the Southern hotel.
There were present Messrs. Payne, Mer-
riam, Herrick. Kohlsaat. Stone and my
self Mr.. Hanna was in and out oc-
casionally, but gave the matter little
attention, as he was more interested in
making a president than the platform
for him to stand on. He. however. e&-
pressed himself as ready to agree to
anything We formulated. and did agree
to it at the close of our work.
Mr.. Kohlsaat had just arrived in
town, and was very active and earnest
for the gold standard and his forceful
insistence came at an opportune mo-
ment for settling the mater in the right
way.
Il was surprised to find some of the
western men so strong for gold. OF
course, substantially all eastern Re-
publicans would favor it, but the credit
of leading in the matter belongs to the
western men 1 have named
1T was known that Senator Fora
ker was to be chairman of the commit
tee on resolutions. and the plank was
shown to him and met his full approval
It was submitted to President McKin-
ley by wire, and received his approval.
It was also shown to the different dele
cations, but especially to those dele
gates who were to be appointed on the
committee on resolutions, and it was
known very soon that it would meet
with the approval of good majority of
TIE committee.
