Paris, November 12.-The exposition closed today with the evening illuminations. Five tickets were charged for one admission. There were few visitors in the day time, tickets lackin purchasers at a sou each.
 The work of removing the exhibits can begin after midnight.
 No vestige will be left of the great ex- position except the immense hot houses on the north flank of the Seene and the art palaces.
 The prefect of the Seine submitted to the municipal Council today a scheme to de- molish all the buildings on the Champs DeMars and Trocadero. The center of the grounds will be maintained in the form of gardens for the establishment of the city, while the wide border will be sold for building lots for the erection of mansions and hotels. The state is asked to abandon its rights to use the site for future expo- sftons.
 The closing days of the exposition have been marked by wholesale bailiff's se- curity of properties of number of conces- sion holders, chiefly restaurant keepers and proprietors of side shows who have failed to meet their financial obligations.

Will Be Sent to Enforce Claim

Washington, November 12.-The govern ment of Morocco has again declined to meet the demands of the United States for the payment of an indemnity on account of the killing by mob of Marcus Essagin, a naturalized American citizen.
 The last request was made by United States Consul Gummere, and the latest de- clination of the government of Morocco was accompanied by an intimaton of its freedom from liability under the terms of the convention between Morocco and Spain.
 The State Department has come to the conclusion that the consuFs representations will be more effective if he is supported morally by the presence in Moroccan waters of a Unitd States warship, and 1t is prob able that he will make his visit to Fez to again present the case as a passenger on vessel to be selected by the Navy Depart ment for that purpose, which will proceed to the point nearest the capital of Moroc-

Nashville, Tenn, November 12.-The ar rest of T. P. Brady upon a federal war rant sworn out by F. O. Watts cashier Of the First National Bank, has stirred up sensation in Nashville. The firm of Connor & Brady, composed of J. H. Con- nor and T. P. Brady, wholesale grocers and liquor dealers. made an assignment today, and the arrest of Brady followed In this connection the disappearance last July of w. w. Lea, an individual bookkeeper of the First National Bank, is explained. The two are charged with collision In defraud- ing the bank out of $44,OOO. It appears that Bookkeeper Lea left on his vacation July 15 last, and at the expiration of his two weeks rest, failed to return to his desk Lea had been trusted employe of the in- stitution for a period extending over twenty-two years, and his failure to return upon the date set caused little concern among the bank officials, but as the days bookkeeper, they commenced an investiga- tion of his affairs.
 It was discovered that the account of Brady and Connor was wrong, and experts were put to work. It is charged that false entries aggregating $56,0OO had been made by the bookkeeper in the accounts of this firm, extending over period of seven years. Over $23, GOO of this amount had been fraud ulently obtained since May l, 1898, up to the date of Lea's departure. The work was carried on by Lea by increasing the

amounts Of the firms deposits on the jour nals and decreasing the amounts of checks drawn by the firm against the bank, fol- lowing this transaction with false exten- sion balances.
 It is ale ed that the bookkeeper would, upon certain date, make an entry through which the bank would be defrauded of a certain sum of money, and later on make such altei -tlons, always through the ac- count of the firm, as would reduce the shortage.
 By operating this scheme it is alleged that the two men drew from the bank $56,- 900 in cash, but through the system of en- tries had paid back, through the firms ac- shortage to the bank of $44,O00.
 The bank officials held a consultation with Connor and Brady. It is said that Brady acknowledged the crooked transac- tions, taking all the responsibilities upon himself, stating that he had put the money into the firms business with the exception of a mall amount which he used as an in- dividual. The members of the firm, after the facts were talked over, figured out that Brady had secured something like $2S,OOO, and agreed to reimburse the bank to this extent. Meanwhile the guarantee company which was on the bond of Lea pushed the matter with the result that deed of as signment by Connor and Brady was filed yesterday. with the Union Bank and Trust Company as trustees. In the instrument an overdraft of the First National Bank for the sum of BPS, 714.72 was mentioned, covering the part of the $A4,00O that Brady claims to have received unknown to his partner.
