THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.
Chicago Will be the Working Cen.
ter of Democratic Committee.

CHICAGO, Sept. Is. - Chicago will
be the working center of the Demo
cratic National Committee during the
campaign in preparation for the next
Presidential election. This was decid-
ed to-day at a meeting of the Executive
Committee held here. thus definitely
settling rumors that the headquarters
would be changed. J. G. Johnson OF
Kansas, it was decided, would have
charge of the work, remaining here in
charge of the headquarters Office.
Those present at the conference were.
Ex-Governor Stone. J. G.. Johnson,
Head of Tennessee, George Fred Will
Jams of Massachusetts, Guffey of Penn
sylvania and O'Brien of Minnesota.
eve discussed some plans for the or
ganization of our forces for effective
work." said Ex-Governor Stone, in
speaking of the meeting, but as yet
they are so chaotic that an account of
them would not enlighten the public.
1t was decided that the members of the
Executive Committee meet in Chicago
every sixty days to confer with Mr..
Johnson, and to aid him in the carry
ing out of our plans"
The Ways and Means Committee was
called together in the afternoon by
Chairman John r. Mclean, and the
important matter of financing the cam
paign. discussed.
The Press Committee was also con-
vened by Mr.. Johnson, and plans look
ing to the effectiveness of that commit
tee discussed Mr.. Johnson and G.. A
Walsh were the only members present,
but Ex-Governor Stone held the proxies
of Messrs. Troup of Connecticut and
Howell of Georgia, thus making o. quo
rum.
Members of the Press Committee
were not disposed to discuss probable
tiles, though the majority of the in
quirers were interested in the question
of the disposition to be made of Press
Agent P J. Devlin. 1t is thought
probable that the press arrangements
for Chicago will be changed to de-
gree, using the attitude of the local
papers during the last campaign as a
basis for reorganization.

VENEZUELAN REVOLT.
Insurgents Approaching Very Near
the Capital.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. - A cable
gram received at the Navy Department
to-day from San Juan states that the
Detroit sailed from that place Saturday
for Laguayara, Venezuela. She should
arrive at that port to-day, according
to the calculations of the naval officers.
United States Minister Loomis is hur-
rying his departure from Washington
because of the gravity of the situation
in Venezuela He left to-day for New
York, and will take the first steamer for
Venezuela, which will not be later than
Saturday next.
The town of Maracay, where the rev.
olutionists were reported to be Satur-
day, is only about eighty miles dis
tant from Caracas, the capital
No orders have been issued to the
Nashville, now at Bibara, Cuba, to pro-
ceed to Venezuela, but it is entirely
probable that she will be needed soon
at Porto Cabela, which is reported here
to have fallen into the hands of the

First National Bank of Penn Tann was
not opened for business this morning,
but instead this notice was posted in
a front window:
Bank closed, pending the arrival OF
an Examiner
The bank was heavily involved in the
Potter -Kinner-K Kendall failure OF sew
eral years ago, and the more recent
failures of Russell & Birkett and Rus
sell & Son. The capital stock of the
bank was $4,000.
The deposits of the bank on Decem-
ber /, 1893 according to the quarterly
statement, were $241, 1,S45. According
to the quarterly statement, the deposits
on June 80, 1899, were $201, ,306. It is
said that the liabilities will not ex.
ceed $S0,000
The directors held meeting Satur-

about $4,000 in real estate. 1t is be.
lieved the bank will reorganize and
pay depositors in full.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-The last
report of the Bank Examiner shows

tionaI Bank of Penn Yam had capi-
tai of $4,000; $4,000 in surplus and
deposits amounting to S150OO0. E. j.
Graham, Bank Examiner, has been ap-
pointed temporary receiver. The fail
ure is attributed TO bad investments

terprises. So far as known nothing OF
a criminal character is charged against
any of the officers of the bank.
