SHRINKAGE IN ASSETS.
A Receiver to Be Appointed Tor the Randolph
w.. Savings Bank.

Randolph. VT, June 10.-The Randolph
Savings Bank closed its doors, Saturday.
and it IS announced that a receiver will
be appointed. The trouble came to the
notice of State Inspector of Finance Fred
II. Platt who examined the books Il few
days ago when he discovered a shrinkaS
in the assets sufficient to impair the
amount of deposits to the extent of per
cent. 1t is said that the losses were
caused by certain poor loans.
The Randolph Savings Bank. when the
last annual report was submitted TO the
state officials, had I'LL depositors on it,;
books. and to the depositors the sum of
S342, $40 26 was due with interest. The sur
plus amounted to only s5S79.34.
State Inspector Plat, when he discov-
cred that the bank had lost by a shrink
age on certain loans, notified the direc-
tors of the institution. The accounts
were carefully inspected, and the situa-
ton was considered at length Mr. Platt
estimated the shrinkage at from Sl3,S00 to
$4,000 which wiped out the surplus and
made inroads on about per cent. Of the
deposits The result of the examination
led to the closing of the bank, Saturday,
and it is understood the court will be
asked to appoint receiver next week.
The bank is the only savings institution
in Randolph and the trouble is consid-
cred a great misfortune to the citizens.
The deposits have decreased during the
past year.

the STEAMER WINDWARD
Almost Ready to Start North After the Bold
Explorer PeaY.

ST. Johns N. F., June 10.-The Peary
Arctic steamer Windward is ready to
come out of dry dock, having fully
completed the extensive repairs which
have been in progress for several
months, and will shortly leave for Sgd
ney, B. c., in command of Capt. Samuel
w. Bartlett, to take on coal and sup
plies for her voyage to the north.
While the new engines desired have
not been obtained. in consequence of
the utter inability of manufacturers
both in Great Britain and in America
to take up the contract, a new shaft
and propeller have been supplied, the
old engines thoroughly overhauled and
put in the best possible order.
The Windward will, this year, sail as
an American ship, so far as her nation
atty is concerned. The necessary leg
islation by Congress having been APP
proved by President Mckinley, though
not having entered an American port,
the formal register has not yet been
issued. Capt. Bartlett has, however a
copy of the act, certified by the Sec
rotary of the treasury, upon which the
United States consuls and foreign au-
thorities of any port will permit the
Windward to fly the Stars and Stripes
The rebuilt Windward will be. there
fore, the first Arctic expedition steam
er to carry the Stars and Stripes at
the peak since the Inflated Polaris left
the Brooklyn navy yard in July, 1871,
under command of Capt. Charles F.
Hall, and who died on board a few
months later.
The expedition will sail from Sydney
about July ]. and proceed directly with a
call at Disco, to Etah. North Greenland.

structions from him will doubtless be
found or IL not, will he awaited. The
Windward will take with her the maxi
mum quantity of coal which she can
carry; additional lumber. oil. sugar. arms,
ments, and everything which is necessary
for Mr.. Peary's work. The Windward
also takes two new whaleboats. built at
New Bedford, for the Pedry service,
thoroughly equipped in every detail
1t Is, however. quite possible that Mr..
Peary may have attained the Pole this
spring, in which case he will, OF course
return with the ship; If not, the addi-
tional equipment. with what remains Of
the 40 tons of supplies left az Etah by the
Diana last year, will be ample for the re-
mainder of the time which he will de-
vote to his work.
Upon the arrival of the Windward at
Etah. Mr. Peary will assume command
and her further movements will be sub
ject to the conditions of his work and to
his instructions.
No passengers will be taken on the

the VICE PRESIDENCY.
New York Entitled I, II and Roosevelt May
Yet Accept.

Wisconsin, who. 1t is understood, will be
chairman of the Republican national
committee in the coming campaign, stat
ed that he believed that New York state
Is entitled to the Vice Presidential nomi-
nation in the Philadelphia convention, if
ii wants it.
This statement is regarded as signifi-
cant, not only because of the source from
which II came, but because it represents
the sentiment of the great Northwest to
which the Republican party looks for
loyal support in the campaign against
Bryan.
Gov Roosevelt is the only person in
this state who has been named for the
Vice Presidency whose nomination could
be made practically by reclamation. 1t
is stated on the highest authority that
the Republican delegates from this state
to the national convention still expect
that Gov Roosevelt will be Pres. Mckin-
ley's running mate on the national ticket.
But this question will not be settled def
niteIy until the delegates arrive in Phila-
delpha as the governor is persistent in
his refusal to be nominated.
1t Is possible however, that he may nm
ally allow his name to be used
