TO BRING RAIN BY
ARTIFICIAL MEANS

LOS ANGELES, March n.-Rain in
Southern California would be cheap at
almost any cost. This is the conclusion
many business men have reached. The
question of rain-making by artificial
means was taken up at a meeting of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton. A communication was received from
II. Hutchinson, who is said to have sue
ceeded in Indian Territory In producing
rain by artificial means. Hutchinson has
credentials from the Board of Trade of
Duncan, /. T., and other responsible
sources. He is said to have been sue
cessfuI eighteen times out of twenty. The
association believes Hutchinson ought to
be looked up and his skill given a test. A
committee. including e. E. Crandall, Jo-
seph Mesner and w. G. Hutchinson, was
appointed to ascertain as nearly as possi-
bic what the cost of the experiment would
be and endeavor to place the association
in communication with the rain-maker

X AN LUIS OBISPO, March 11.-As
was expected when the CONNER
ciaI Bank opened for business this
morning a number of depositors who
had taken alarm at the closing of the
County Bank yesterday were in wait
ing AS soon as the doors opened the
excited people began clamoring for
their money, and the tellers began
handing it out over the counter as
or,ickly as expert fingers could do it.
In about ten minutes several thousands
of dollars had been paid out, and the
size Of the crowd had not diminished.
On the contrary every moment saw ad-
ditions to the people, half frantic with
the thought of losing their savings one
or two large depositors obtained their
coin and took it to the Andrews Bank.
The bank officials, realizing that a
DANGEROUS run was on, decided to close
the doors. The depositors were notified
that the bank would suspend tempo
rarilv. and would reopen again at the
usual hour on Monday morning. Inc
bank is considered sound by conserva-
tive business men. It is connected with
several banks in other towns. 1t is
thought that by Monday the bank will
be able to reopen.
The Commercial Banks connections
are the California Mortgage and Saw
tngs Bank, branches in Cambria, San
Miguel. Paso Robes and GuadaIoupe in
this county; one in Santa Maria, Santa
Barbara County, the First National in
Salinas. and the Swiss-American and
Germania Trust Company OF San Fran
cisco. OF the latter bank Henry Brun-
ner, formerly cashier of the CONNER
Cial, is now the president and repre-
sents an immense amount Of capital

says the bank was totally unprepared

positOTs made no heavy demand upon
It all would have been We'll. The bank
had made full preparations TO tide over
another season OF depression, which
seemed imminent, but anticipated no
such a contingency as the closing Of
the County Bank.
The board of directors viii meet to-
morrow and decide what il is best TO
dO-Whether to reopen or remain closed
until they can realize on their re-
sources.
The County Bank. which decided to
close its doors last night, is now in the
hands of the Bank Commissioner, who
will arrive tomorrow evening and un-
til he completes his examination and
issues q statement nothing definite can
be learned. The statement Of the bank s
condition as given by its cashier is as
follows: Liabilities. capital stock. $780,

other Indebtedness, $4,000; real estate,
overdrafts. bills receivable and other
assets, $6S5, ,000
The Andrews Banking Company. of
which J. P Andrews is president, had
quite a drain to-day, but nothing like
a steady run. and it is thought this
bank will not be crippled. 1t was not
closed until the usual hour, o'clock.

QCn Behilell
PARIS. March In Deroulede's
case continues to form the subject Of
certain amount of discussion. There
appears to be an opinion that the Jure
de la Seine will be called upon to rem
der a decision as to what is the extent
of the fiery patriots culpability, unless,
indeed, the chamber de mise en- accusa-
ton should conclude that there is no
reason to carry the matter before the
Assize Court This was done in the
case of Prince Napoleon on January
Is. 1888. The Prince was arrested upon
a charge of being concerned in plot

an establishment at Auteul and MS
case was sent before the chamber de
mise en- accusation, which decided that
although the Prince had openly mani
tested his hostility toward the repup-
lie. there was no ground for proceed
ings against him and ordered his i'm
mediate release.
If this precedent were followed with
regard to NJ. Deroulede pretty nearly

will be his recompense"
The remark is in NJ. Deroulede's most
lofty vein, but it might be interesting
TO hear what NJ. Habert thinks about
the matter. Both prisoners have had
a busy week, having been interrogated
almost every day. 1t is expected the
inquiry is drawing near it's close, and
that Maitre Pasques will send in his re-
port within the next fortnight
AS to President LouDet, he seems to
be winning friends rapidly. His simple
tastes are beginning to find admirers.
One of the papers that was among the
very first to depreciate him after his
election reported the other day that an
ilIustrious foreigner after visit to the
FIvsee said: "I like NJ. Loubet very
much more than I did NJ. Felix Faure.
NJ Faure put on the airs of a sovereign
which he was not, while NJ. Loubet has
the air of being a good citizen, which
he ought to be-"
The illustrious foreigner can have
been no other than the Prince of Wales.
It is not likely, however, that the fiat
tering appreciation will turn the new
Presidents head.
It is said the collar of the Golden
Fleece conferred upon M. Faure was
being packed up a few days ago in or
der that it might be sent back to Spain,
as is usual after the death of every
member of the order. Some one said
to NJ Loubet with a smile, 1T will
probably come back for you before very

with a smile "The opposition papers
would be sure to say that my collar
was in bad taste"

Il LONDON, March 1.-THE Conserva-
tive Government has got itself into
financial straits. The publication Of
the naval estimates completes the vari-
Gus items of national expenditure,
which total up e112, 1876, 200, being an in
crease Of 94,471, 200 over the estimates.
1t is probable there will be a deficit Of
over $4,000, 900, which, it is expected,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, will meet by a
reimposition Of the former tobacco duty
and an increase of the income tax to
8 pence.
The suggestion is made in the press
that the deficit be met by a suspension
of portion of the sinking fund. The
city, however, is opposed to this as cal
culated to weaken the whole financial
position of the country in time not
only of peace but Of ample revenue and
great prosperity.
A ray of sunshine in the financial sit
uation is seen in the apparently boom
ing state of trade, as shown by the
Board of Trade returns The imports
since December show an increase of
91,100, ,000 as compared with 1898, indi-
eating that the purchasing power of the
country is still growing. These salts
factory figures help the Chancellor of
the Exchequer in taking a hopeful view
Of the review for the coming year, but
they will not avert the necessity Of new
taxation.
The Liberal press naturally makes the
most of the Governments financial diff
ficulties, which are attributed to the
Governments policy Of "doles to squire
