Sa|iSbury's Government is At
tackled on All Sides.
Terrible Rod in Pickle for Marquis Of
LanSdoWne--Litt|e News Received
From Seat Of War.

ardent Conservative papers as the
Times and Globe come out boldly with
reproof there is no knowing where the
agitation will end. The provincial press
has already taken up the cry. For the
moment Mr.. Balfour is the scapegoat
but there is a terrible rod in pickle Tor
the Marquis OF Lansdowne, while Lord
Salisbury and other cabinet ministers
will not escape unless wonderful
change comes over the war situation.
HOPING FOR SUCCESS.
A representative of The Associated
Press learns that the Conservative
leaders privately admit the gravity of
their position but fail TO see what can
be done. In the meanwhile they hope
that successes in the field will abate
the popular clamor. Some of the Con
servative papers go so far as TO regret
tire extreme age of the cabinet minis
ters. and refer TO the cabinet as body
OF patriarchs. Under these circun-
stances Il is doubtful whether events
transpiring between now and the re-as-
sembling OF Parliament will be power
full enough to restore confidence in the
government and maintain its majority.
BITTER FIGHT PROBABLE.
There is the Important alternative
that Lord Lansdowne or Lord Wolseley
may be sacrificed. A representative Of
The Associated Press learns that Lord
Wolseley not only dlsapprovel Of Lord
Roberts appointment 10 the chief com
mand OF the British troops I'm South Af-
rica but allowed his disapproval to be
generally known, while Il is fact that
he knew nothing OF the governments
intentions In this respect until he saw
the announcement of appointment in
the newspapers. IT Is said that IL II
ever comes to a public disagreement
between the commander-in-ch chief and
the secretary OF state for war IL will be
a fight far more bitter than the one
waged between Generals Alger and
Miles at Washington. The immediate
future will doubtless see attacks on the
government such as Lord Salisbury has
not had to Withstand during the course
OF his political career. The borrowing
powers conferred on the government at
the last session of Parliament are al
most exhausted. About seven and half
out OF the eight millions OF treasury
bills authorized have already been is
sued. but the large revenues coming I'm
will probably furnish ample FUNDS un-
Ill Parliament meets.
LITTLE NEWS FROM THE FRONT.
There was a singular dearth of news
this morning from parts of the theatre
of war. Gen. French supplements his
advices OF yesterday by reporting that
Cant. Riccardo and four troopers OF the
Life Guards are missing, showing that
his reconnoitering party met with cp-
position.
Gen. Gatacre dispatched a strong
force Monday. Jan. ), 10 reconholter
Stormberg, which the Beers were re-
ported TO have evacuated. The British

ed and returned TO Sterkstroom other

that probably paper TO the amount
of $4,000 TO $1,000 Is considered
worthless and $4,000 to $4,000 is

is reported at over $4,000. The
figures are not official, but agree
with the generally accepted condi-

lTs DOORS CLOSED.
aThe bank has bustedln

The bank has bustedl
Shorn of all details, the above
statement, which passed from one
TO another ON the streets of Cam
den last Friday is q plain statement
of a fact. The Camden Bank and
Trust Go. has closed IL doors, and
nearly every business man I'm town
and scores of others were "caughb
for various amounts, not a few for
large sums, aggregating up in the
thousands
The first intimation the public
had that anything was wrong was
when the bank failed to open it's
doors as usual last Friday morning.
But it seems that Nashville parties,
headed by X. O. Watts, were here
Thursday night figuring on a deal
in which they proposed to purchase
controlling interest and continue
the business
Their proposition was ito take
$4,000 of the stock at 20 cents ON
the dollar. This, we understand,
was raised to % cents by Browns
Vile and Huntingdon parties, but
the stockholders were not willing
to accept it, only a few agreeing to
make the sacrifice.
Capable and influential citizens
here offered to buy a controlling
interest and assumes the liabilities,
but for some reason the bank Off
cials declined this proposition, and
SO far all negotiations for a trans
fer of stock and reopening Of the
bank have failed.
Many reasons have been advanced
as the cause for failure, and many
rumors have went the rounds, Some
of them positively startling, but il
would be useless to attempt to give
details, and we feel safe in saying
that it was mainly due to the fac
that the concern was short on cash
1t has been asserted by those who
claim to know, that the availabl,
cash at the close of business OF
Thursday evening, January Is, wa
less than $500. BE that as it may
it is known that a run aggregatinl
$4,000 was made on the bank tn
day before it closed.
In a published interview in tn
Nashville Banner last Friday tn
president Of the bank, w. r. Nc
Rae. states that he knew that tn
bank was rather hard up, its depo'
it's having fallen away from $1,000
to $4,000 within the year.
To bad management may be a
tributed some of the present trout
les Of the bank. 1t is alleged the
the bank holds paper now that he
passed maturity from one to eve
four years.
We have endeavored to obtain
tangible statement Of the actui
condition Of the bank, but witho1
success. We are informed, howe
