SAN JOSE BANK FAILURE.
Developments Indicate An Attempt
to Defraud Creditors.

San Jose, Cal, Feb. 1.-The failure of
the Union Savings bank is alleged to be
due to large advances made to S. B.
Howard, a large fruit broker, and the
agent of Armour & Co. The amount
of Towards Indebtedness is said to be
over 100000, and is only partly secured
by warehouse receipts. The bank is
sued drafts upon eastern banks, and
during the past few days many of these
drafts have been returned protested,
and the bank was forced to redeem
them. There are several circumstances
connected with the failure that have
aroused a deal of adverse comment,
principally the recording of a mortgage
yesterday conveying the bank building
and property to Mrs. Myra Z. Wright,
and it is alleged that the consideration
was 100000. On the 1st of this month
the bank furnished a statement to the
bank commissioners in which it
scheduled the value Of the bank build
ing as $4,000. The deed to the building
was dated June Is, 1898. Further con-
fusion was caused by the action of the
Union Trust company and the Nevada
bank of San Francisco, whose agents
filed with the county recorder assign
ments on the bank amounting to S74,-
600, making S134, 900 of the banks as
sets which had been transferred in the
past and recorded on the day of the
failure.

Denver, Colo, Feb. IA special to
the News from Helena says: In re
Spouse to public criticisms of the course
of Republican members of the state
legislature in voting for w. A Clark
for United States senator, Senator
Hobson of Fergus county today issued
statement defining his position, which
divulged a hitherto unpublished and in
teresting matter of detail concerning
the condition of the support of Clark.
The interesting part of Mr.. Hobson's
statement, which is a lengthy one, is:
AT the time Mr. Clark had shown his
full Democratic strength, it became APP
parent that he could not be elected
without Republican votes, and as the
Democratic following was about to
leave him and name another candidate
who was much more Objectionable, the
Republicans secured a written pledge
from Mr.. Clark that he would, if elect
ed, vote for high protective tariff, and
refuse to be bound by any caucus to do
otherwise"

Secretary Porter said yesterday that
President Mckinley is tired and worn. as
the result of the hard work devolving
upon him by the war and its subsequent
developments. but that it was untrue that
he was in any danger of breaking down.
His health is fairly good and all he needs
is a little rest. Mr.. Porter adds.
One effect of the publication of the list
OF officers named for brevet on account of
the Santiago campaign has been to deluge
the war department with inquiries from
persons as TO why their names We're not
included 1t is explained that the list so
far published is not complete. not even
as to the Santiago campaign. but that
other names are to be sent TO the senate
