London, Nov. lS.--The British spe.
cials giving descriptions Of the Morgan,
Sitterice wedding are almost entirely de-
voted TO its pecuniary features, giving the
impression that il Vas II repetition oi the
bradley Martin ball. As a natural result
the London papers indulge in such com
ment as this from the Westminster Ga
zctte:
THE reputation of Americans OF a GER
tain type for vulgar ostentation seems to
have been exceedingly well sustained at
the wedding" And in similar strain,
another curious piece Of information
upon American matters is contained in
the London Daily Telegraph's description
of society among women of London, in
which it is gravely asserted that "when
an American has made fortune he finds
il almost impossible to live quietly in his
own country. The chief attraction is
England, where Americans can escape the
new spapers."
This is the chief reason, according to
the Daily Telegraph, why the American
colony in London increases, though it ad
mts that many love to come here ior
the sake of the country alone, and ''be-
cause it makes them feel like being
on visit TO their grandmothers home,
where everything is dignified, proper and
nice"
The duke and duchess OF York's forth.
coming visit to Australia is quite likely TO
be finished with a trip through Canada.
Additional excursions will be made in the
United States.
Another royal rumor is the engagement
of Prince George OF Greece, who is now
here, to one of the English princesses, to
which the queen is said to have given her
approval.

He BUSTED KENTUCKY BANK
FRANK BROWN OF NEWPORT
Got Away with S2OO.OO0-His Where
abouts LIS bling,
Women and Wine His Hobby
Trouble Expected.

Cincinnati Nov. 19.-United States
Bank Examiner Tucker has taken Dos
session of the German National bank
at Newport, KY, and posted a notice
that the bank would remain closed
pending an examination. He also an
nounced unofficially that Frank NJ.
Brown, the assistant cashier, was miss
ing, and that partial investigation
showed that he was short about $2O1,-
600. Brown, who Is the son of Paris
c. Brown, eX-mayor of Newport and
one of the leading business men of Gin
cinnati, has been with the bank for IS
years, and was one of its most trusted
men. Experts state that his operations
extend over period of 10 years. He
left on a vacation last Wednesday and
is supposed to be out of the country. 1t
Is generally believed that he has taken
with him considerable amount of
money.
Brown, it is alleged, has lived fast
life, with wine, women and gambling
in his repertoire. His career was cut
short by jealous woman, who made
his doings known to the banks officials.
Browns alleged shortage has been ru.
mored for some time. but the bank Off.
cials and directors have repeatedly de-
clared that his accounts were correct
and that everything was all right.
The widest scenes were witnessed In
Newport when Examiner fuckers an.
nouncement was made public, and seri-
GUS trouble is expected when the bank
officials are confronted by the people
who have hunted in vain for them. The
capital stock of the bank Is only $780,.
600. Browns shortage is double that
amount, and more than the reserve and
all the assets, including the banks real
estate. He must have gone the full
limit for a small bank.
For two weeks there have been r,i-
mors that Brown was short and some
depositors withdrew their accounts
Three weeks ago the bank examiner
made a good statement and the officers
and directors allayed suspicion by re-
ferring to this report and to their last
statement.

Ministers Getting Together.

Pekin, Nov. ia protracted confer
ence of the foreign ministers was held to
day, at the conclusion Of which there was
a general expression Of qualification at the
progress made toward reaching a settle
ment. 1t was stated that most OF the
minor points had been disposed OF, and
that an agreement had been reached upon
several essential questions. The meeting
disclosed fewer difficulties over important
points than was expected, which is largely
due to the fact that the ministers have re-
ceived definite instructions from their
home governments. United States Min.
lister Conger said he was encouraged to be.
lieve that proposals would be ready to be
submitted at an earlier date than he had
heretofore hoped. The ministers will meet
aghin tomorrow.

New York, Nov. 20.-So many con.

few well authenticated facts will not be
amiss.
There is close Community of owner.

ent design or desire on the part of the
controlling owners to have these two sys.
TENS managed in any other way than Us
separate lines. Although j. j. Hill is
very large stakeholder in the Northern Pa.
citic. possibly the largest individual
stakeholder and four or five men hold
enough stock in each company to practic,
ally give them control of both, the two
systems are not to be merged, and the
interests of one company will not be sub
ordinated to the other.
Existing statutes of northwestern
states expressly prohibit the consolids-
ton or Joint operation of two parallel and
competing lines, and President Mellen OF
the Northern Pacific remarked the other
day that public sentiment strongly upheld
these laws.
1t is an assured fact, however, that
while these lines will continue to engage
in legitimate competition for traffic, they
will not be permitted to 'cut each Others
throat nor ieopardize their respective
revenues by rate wars. The same perma-
nent friendly relations will prevail in
northwestern territory as now prevail in
eastern territory which is dominated by
the Joint influence of the Vanderbilts and
the Pennsylvania roads.
Contrary TO certain reports, Great North
ern capitalists have not been reducing
their holdings of Northern Pacific stock,
but quite the contrary.

Gle in the way to the easiest and sim
plest solution of the difficulty, which IS
to be had through the honest co-opera-
ton Of city and railroad officials in the
work Of settling the disputed questions,
then the matter can safely be allowed to
rest. But in the absence of any such diff
ficulty it is the duty of all concerned to
go ahead and bring the matter to a ra-
tional adjustment.
1t may prove to be a decidedly serious
matter for the city should a proper adj
justment be made impossible by the in
sistance of those who pretend to repre-
sent the city. on conditions to which the
roads cannot agree without a sacrifice
of valuable acquired rights.
Whatever the outcome may be, there
has already been too much feeling mani
tested and too much time given to the
effort at adjustment. If the desired end
cannot be arrived at, 1t is best for all
concerned that the matter should seek
adjustment otherwise than through the
agency of town meetings, such as has
alone been invoked thus far.
