M. A, MCCLURE ARRESTED.
Taken 10 HOuse of Correction at Rut.
land This Morning.

He Is Charge with EmbezzIsment aud
Grand Lsreeny---stHrtIInE Develop
ments Expected. Judge Waterman
Acted in the Matter for District AItor-
ney Martin.
Another chapter in the story of the fail
ure of the Merchants bank at Rutland
opened early this, Friday, morning. when
Nj. A. Mcclure was arrested at 80 at his
home, charged with embezzlement and
grand larceny. Hew taken to the house
of correction about O'Clock. Startling
developments are expected.
The complaint was signed by DR.. John
A. Mead, president of Merchants nation
al bank. Judge f. l.. Waterman of Brat
tleboro, representing United States Dis
trict Attorney Martin, drew the papers,
and the warrant was signed by James A.
Merrill as United States commissioner.
The arrest was the result mainly of the
investigations of D. D. Muir, receiver of
the Merchants bank.
1t would not be surprising If Mussey and
Mcclure were indicted together, or at least
as conspratOrs in plan to rob the Mer-
chants bank.
1t became known yesterday in Rutland
that Mcclure planned to go to Boston.
Judge Waterman arrived in Rutland last
night at 9:l0, and the time from then un-
Ill this morning was spent in consultation
with States Attorney Rice, Deputy Mar
shal Stoddard, Receiver Muir and others,
President Mead being routed out of his
slumbers at late hour to join in the con-
ference.
The month of February promises to cut
a figure in this case. While the amount
of Mussey's peculations during that month
was something like $4S, 900, Mcclure main
tains, in talking with his friends, that he
borrowed only about $500 from Mussey
during that month. February is a short
month, but not so short as the bank was
on the 28th of that month. 1t seems to
have been a case of downright loot.
McClure's friends refuse to affirm or
deny the story, but it was stated yesterday
that Mcclure delivered more installment
notes TO Mussey as collateral on his loans
than appear in the list found by the in
vestigating committee of the directors last
Sunday.
1t is now definitely known that Mussey
loaned sums of money to other parties
than Mcclure. 1t was stated yesterday
that two or more forgeries were discovered
on paper for small amounts.

Our foreign commerce continues to ex-
pand by leaps and bounds. The importa-

enter into the various processes of domes-
tic industry amounted in the eight months
ending with February to Sl95, 1897, ,754,
against S134, ,7S1, 199 in the corresponding
months of the preceding fiscal year, an in
crease of SGO,OOO 900, while expectation of
manufactures in the same time were $685.
537,972, against 5000, S22, 337 in the cor
responding months of last year, an increase
Of SCI 100000. Thus the importation of
manufacturers materials increased during
the eight months in question $50, 200, 900,
and the expectation of manufactured
goods increased SCI 100000 in the same
time. In the 2S days of February the i'm
portation of manufacturers materials
amounted to $25, 1886, ,601, or nearly 81 900,
600 a day., and the expectation of manu-
factured goods amounted to $34, ,226, 1913, or,
in round terms, $1,250,000 for every day
in the month.

Secretary Long, in his address Thursday
before the Middlesex club of Boston, ex-
planned a point of the Porto Rico tariff
matter which has evidently been misun-
derstood by some people. At present the
Dingley tariff is operative on imports from
Porto Rico into this country. The PROPOSE
tlon is TO reduce this So per cent, and not
as some seem TO think, TO impose - per
cent. A duty OF II per cent is not, how
ever, in accord with President McKinley's
statement that our plain duty is to abolish
all customs tariffs between the United
States and Porto Rico, and give her pro
ducts free access TO our markets. Public
opinion in Vermont, so far as heard, is in
favor Of hewing to the line as indicated by
the President, and Vermonters are pleas
ed to see Senator Proctor leader of the
small but respectable minority which
stands out in the United States Senate for
free trade with Porto Rico, on the ground
OF right and justice to the people of the
island. In this connection it is of interest
to note that at the Republican state con-
vention at Montpelier April IS, when dele
gates will be elected TO the National Re-
publican convention, the orators will be

The Bank Crash at Rutland.

The crash in the Merchants National
bank at Rutland is the only shock of the
kind in Vermont since 1879, when Presi-
dent Slas NJ. Waite fed from Brattleboro
after looting the First National bank of its
entire capital stock Of 100000, and an
assessment of % per cent on the stock
holders was necessary to settle the affairs
of the institution. 1t is said there have
been only two defalcations in National
banks in this state besides those at Rut-
land and Brattleboro since the present
banking system came into existence.
The failure at Rutland presents some
phases usual and others very unusual in
cases of this kind Like most of the
banking men who 60 wrong Mr.. Mussey
was trusted implicitly, and in the begin
ming we have the old story of taking a
comparatively small amount of other peo-
ple's money with the expectation of pay
ing it back But the maestrom soon
swept the cashier off his feet and when he
realized that he was hopelessly in the vor-
tex over $145, 600 had disappeared.
The strange part Of the story is that the
cashier did not use the money himself.
He started in by loaning money to friend
who had been refused loan by the banks
directors, took the friends paper as securi-
ty, and continued the operation ad libitum
to keep the friend afloat and conceal the
illegal transactions which began with the
first loan. The friend says he lost the
money in his legitimate business, but fur
ther explanation by himself and the cashier
shows that S11j, 600 of the amount disap-
peared in little over three years Just
passed. The friend was a music dealer in
Rutland, who sold organs and pianos on
the installmeDt plan. Most of his sales
would be to people who would pay their
bills. The explanation as to where S115, 600
could 90 TO in a business Of this kind in a
little over three years is more mystical
than any poetry Browning ever wrote.
At this distance the proper advice seems to
be to probe deeper.
The national bank examiner will natur-
ally be blamed for not discovering the true
condition of the bank, but it would seem
that the greater censure should be applied
to the bank directors. The bank exam
iner was deceived by forged paper, but the
directors were hoodwinked for a term of
eight years by the cashiers simple process
of changing figures in their presence so that
the footings would include the shortage.

President Tucker Of Dartmouth college
declines to become delegate from New
Hampshire to the Republican national
convention, and gives his reasons in let
ter displaying the sound common sense
which we have come to expect from him.
He says he believes in practical politics for
men of capacity and intelligence, but he
holds that one must be in politics in re-
sponsible way. He insists that one of the
conditions of entering politics is that one
shall know all that is going on, to be able
to use his powers to the best advantage.
The interests OF Dartmouth college are his
first consideration, however, and he has
no time to enter politics other than to do
his duty as a citzen,and voter. He asserts
that politics presents for college men a
field for useful service of their country in
practical way.
