The Second National Bank
Building.

Architect Coombs of Lewiston was In
town yesterday to look over the Second
National Bank building and make meas
ments from which to draw plans for the
extensive improvements, the directors of
that financial institution are arranging
to make, this season. The proposed
changes involve the lowering of the
floor 20 inches, excavating the cellar
about as much, putting in a plate glass
front, new steam heating plant, put.
ting In a new burglar proof vault with
improved steel lining, time locks, etc,
and finishing inside. In short the whole
interior OF the street Fl Dor will be COM
pletely renovated and made new
throughout and made into a suite of
modern banking rooms with the faeili-
ties for business the bank has long
needed.
The present banking rooms and fix
lures, including heavy granite lined
brick vault, were fitted up 80 years ago
the coming summer. They were the
best in the county at that time, but now
are sadly out of date and inadequate for
the prompt transaction of business, and
the improvements have been delayed as
long as it has been proper aud safe to
do SO.
Plans and specifications and contracts
have been submitted for the street work
of the vault by two different companies
and it is expected a contract will be
made with one of the two at an early
day. This work requires time. 1t can
not be hurried and good job done. No
responsible concern will agree to do the
work in less time than four months from
the time of the signing of the contract.
The rebuilding and refitting this build
ing will involve quite an outlay, very
large item in the expense being the con.
struction of the vault as it requ res very
nice work and expensive material.

GREAT GALLANTRY OF AMERICANS.
The Ninth Infantry Is Exposed to the Fire
of Twenty Thousand Chinese For Hours
But Calamity Withstand the At
tack Until Victory Crowns
Their Arms.

Washington, July 17.-Admiral Remey
this morning cabled the Navy Department
that the city and ports of Tien Tsin are IN
the hands of the allies. His list of killed
and wounded is somewhat fuller than yes
terday's report, but still not entirely COM
plete. His dispatch follows;
"Chefoo, July l7.-Today hope to get
wounded from Tien Tsin, either in hospitals
at Taku or aboard So!ace. Communica'
ton vely uncertain. Following casualties
apparently confirmed
"Marines, Captain Davis, killed; Cap
tain Lemly, Lieutenant Butler and Leon
ard wounded; army, Colonel Liscum, kill
ed; Majors Reagan and Lee, Captains
Moves, Brewster and Bookmiller, Lieuten'
ants Naylor, Lawton, Hammond and Wal
dron, wounded; total killed and wounded
reported, 775; Russians and japanese lost
heavily; our total loss reported 2l5; about
forty we're marines, but number believed
to be exaggerated. Have officers On shore
espe tally to get authentic number and
names, which will be promptly telegraphed'
CITY and forts now in hands of the allies.
Admiral Seymour returned to fleet; rank
ing officer ashore is Admiral Alexiet, at
Tien Tsin."
This bulletin was received at the Navy
Department this morning and was copied
for distribution about 8 O'Clock. Before
it was given out it was decided to make
some change, the nature of which is not
known, and the above copy finally was
given to the public.
Washington, July 1.-THE State De-
partment has bulletined the following
"The Secretary of State has received a
dispatch from Consul McWade, at Canton,
informing him that the vicerOy, Ii Hung
Chang, sailed today for Hong Kong He
received an edict last night appointing
him viceroy of Chilhli and commanding
his immediate presence there. Fears are
entertained at Canton that his absence
may give occasion for disturbance of the
peace. French gunbCats have arrived at
Canton"
Tien Tsin, July 1.-THE Americans
suffered terribly during the two days
of fighting. For thirteen long hours they
lay in the open plain between the wall and
river under an enfading and direct fire.
They fought with great gallantry and held
their position until the Chinese we're
compelled to capitulate.

CORRUPTION IN LONDON.
Remarkable Expose Made by Members
of Parliament.

London, July 15.-In Parliament the
week was redeemed from total tediousness
by q remarkable expose Of Londons cor
ruptness by Samuel Smith, Liberal men,
Der for Flintshire, and John Burns, Social
ist member for Battersea. The allega-
tions made by these members, and Home
Secretary Ridley did not deny them,
show conditions which equal anything dis
covered by the Lexow and Mazet Com
mittees in New York-immoral dens,
blackmailing and bribery of the police ap-
parently fourishing and greatly on the
increase, especially in the West End.
Degraded criminals, declared Mr.
Burns, who were cleared ont in 1898, are
re. establishing themselves in large num-
bert in the metropolis.
He also asserted that "the West End
club proprietors and brothel keepers have
the police directly under their control. "
Mr.. Burns cited individual instances, and
ended by telling the home Secretary that
if he did not help stop this bribery the
evil would deepen until they saw state
of affairs in London similar to what had
been seen in the Tenderloin of New York
where chief inspector had earned ten
thousand pounds a year by blackmailing
gambling bells and prostitutes.
All policemen in the West End, Mr.
Burns suggested, should be paid better,
as their present pittance made even trl'
fling bribes terrible temptations. The
Home Secretary was aghast and said he
would examine into the charges.
MIR. Smith confined himself chiefly tc
exposing public obscenities. MANY
things" he said, "were tolerated in Eng
land which would not be allowed lr
America"
