Bank Falls Through

Memphis. Tenn, February 19.-T'he Bank of Commerce of Memphis received notice today of the suspension of the Bank of Friars Point, at Friars Point, Coahoma county, Mississippi. The Bank of Com merce was the Memphis correspondent of the Friars Point bank. and while the sus- pension was a surprise, the Memphis bank loses nothing by the failure, as it is amply insured. The Bank of Friars Point was or ganized in 1890, since which time it has been prosperous, and President D. A. Scott announces that the depositors will be paid every dollar due them in time. The cause of the failure was the unusually heavy withdrawals of deposits in the past few weeks The affairs of the bank have been placed in the hands of D. B. Hebdon as as- Signee.

 Did you prosecute them?" asked Senator Chandler
 q did not" was the reply. "It was use- less to do so, as the Anaconda company owned the political machinery.
 The cross-examinatfon was then begun.
 Taking up the present movement for the defeat of the Daly organization, Mir. Clark said he had not in the beginning any especial candidate but that their purpose was to get some one who could give us a fair deal"
 '.Is it not generally understood" asked MT Campbell ''that MT. Daily favored. Lee Mantle. a silver republican,for senatprsl 2, '
 Ut was generally talked ,Ncas the re- ply. But have no persofiaf knowledge of that. I forbade an use of my name at the beginning of the movement, wanting first of all to defeat and break the rule of Marcus DaIy."
 "You made a combination, did you not, with the gold republicans to carry the cleo ton in Butte?'
 'aThere was a combination made, but there are no gold republicans there that know of"
 '"Then you had changed your opinion con- corning fusion between August and Octo- ber?"
 .'I was in favor of any combination Of respectable people that would break down the infamous organization which controiled the Butte prlmaries-your organizaltaon which had become so notorious.
 The sb,00o Donation
 Mir Campbell questioned MT. Clark eiose- fly about the donation of 5000 10 MT Day, which MT. Clark said he had given four days after his election to the senate The witness said:
 'sMr. Day was a member of the legisla- ture and represented our forces in the con- test for speaker of the Montana house of representatives, he being our candidate for that office.'
 MT Day, he added, was the recognized leader in the house of the Clark forces.
 ''Why did you give him the $50O0?"
 "I did it in consideration of my friend- ship for Day and for the work performed by him in trying to organize the legisla- ture and his work in controlling our forces. Furthermore, we expected more or less legislation, of which MT. Day was to take charge. This is ail I have paid him and all that he has been paid so far as I know"
 In reply to MT. Campbe1ls questions con cerning the testimony given by Senator Clark in Montana, the senator insisted that previous to the Whlteside exposure he had gwen no money to MT. Welcome.
 MT. Clark said he kept his own private books, but that he had destroyed the checks covering the session of the legisla- ture.
 -'I generally destroy my checks about every six months, and I think l destroyed these about the time of my return from Europe, in May. 1se."
 Referring to the 600 given Davidson on November B, MT. Clark declared that the money was expended in tine state campaign and before he had decided to be a candi- date. My motive was far higher than that of promoting my own candidacy" said MT. Clark.
 -.Trhe movement was intended to control the state in the interest of pure demoe- racy."
 You were bound to purify politics what ever the cost?' suggested Senator Bur rougsls.
 replied the witness.
 Adjourned for the day, with Senator Clark's examina ton still in progress.

MARK HANNA HEARD FROM
TELEGRAM TO THE REPUBLICAN
CLUB.
The National Committeeman Asks For
a Member to Call Upon Him. and +.
J. Berry is Sent.

Francis j. Berry, secretary of tho
first Republican club Of Honolulu left
yesterday on the steamer Australia for
Washington Just before leaving Mr..
Berry stated that the object Of his trip
was To call upon Mark Hanna, IN an
swer To a telegram receivaC from jhe
latter, for II purpose Of discussing the
organization OF the Repub en- Iaity Il
Hawaii on the deck of the steamer
NJ. Berry showed a di patch, said To
have been received hero On the city Of
Rio de Janiero last Thursday. Tne
telegram was from Washington. and
was signed by NJ a. H9nna. II stated
that the sender desired the Republican
club to send man to Interview hun
personally.
When the Republican club was organ
lied, one of the first things done was
the writing of a letter to Mark Hanna,
who is the chairman of the National
Republican campaign committee, ask
ing for instructions as to how to pro-
coed with the organization of the party.
and also for the sanction of the national
organization in using the party name.
Since then the club, defeated in the
project of forming a party" has been
awaiting a response.
The receipt of advices from Wash
ington has been kept a profound secret
The result of Mr.. Berry's visit may be
Ol the greatest importance IN lOC9l poll
tics, as Hanna's recognition of the
work done by the organizers of the first
club is thought by many to Indicate
that he regarded it as entitled to The
standing it claimed. Since the sending
of the dispatch, however, news must
have reached Washington of tie later
organization of the party.
The letter that was sent from here to
Mark Hanna did not only speak OF
party organization, but of local APP
pointments as well. The senator from
Ohio was asked to use his influence in
behalf of one or two candidates for
Territorial appointments. If this part
of the letter had anything to do with
the telegram summonin ga lLUnplulL
man to Washington, it would indicate
that appointments are not TO be made
] until after he gets there, ip which case
there will not be the expected news On
the Coptic this week.
The sending of Berry looks like some
thing of a coup for the Republican club.
1t seems to indicate that the clIb las
standing at Washington which the
party has not yet achieved. All was
done quietly even the members Of the
club not knowing about it. Last night
the club elected Mr.. Madden secretary
pro tenn, in place of Berry.
