ITS AFFAIRS INVOLVED.
National Bank of CanajOharie, N. Y,
I'm Bad Financial Condition.

FORT PLAIN, n. Y, Jan. 25-The Ma
tional Bank of Canajoharie failed to open
for business to-day. Adelbert c. Richmond
the president, died three months ago and
since then there has been much talk re-
garding the condition Of the bank, result
ing in grave suspicious and consequent
light deposits and heavy Withdrawals. Mr..
Richmond had been heavily interested in
the Clark Fabric Company. at Sidney, N.
Y, now in the hands of a receiver, and
against which judgments amounting to
quarter of a million dollars have been filed.
Richmond was also president of the Farm
ers' and Mechanics Bank this village, and
his affairs at Canajoharie caused worri-
ment. The Fort Plain Bank lost only 81, 100,
but the fear spread and this morning a weak
run commenced on the Farmers and Me-
chanics'. 1t amounted to nothing. however.
Mr.. Richmond was found dead in bed
at the home of his sister. in New Wood
stock. His health had been perfect until
just before the discovery of his death and
there is now a belief that he realized that
he was hopelessly involved. Bank Exam
liner Graham says the Cana oharie Bank 8
books and papers are in a muddle and that
several weeks will be required to straight
them out and get at their real condi-
ton. He is afraid that the banks affairs
are in such a condition thatit institution
may not be able To resume. Mr.. Richmond
from 1862 TO 1855 was in the Treasury De-
partment at Washington under Gen. Spin
for the bank now in distress and he be-
came president in 1893.

The Mannuense.s Trip.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Reports have
been received at the War Department from
Colonel Petit and Lieut.. Webb Hays, of
the Thirty-eighth Volunteer Infantry, in
regard to the recent trip of the transport
Manauense from San Francisco to Manila,
with part of the Thirty-sixth Infantry.
They reaffirm the original statements to
the effect that the machinery of the 'Manau-
ense broke down on the voyage during q
typhoon, that she was undermined and
that the vessel narrowly escaped being
wrecked. She was rescued from a perilous
position by the transport City of Picking,
which towed her several hundred miles into
Manila. The reports have been forwarded
to Colonel Long, the quartermaster in
charge of the transportation service at
San Francisco, for a full statement of the
facts as to the inspection an condition of
the vessel at the time of her departure
from San Francisco. The purpose of the in
quiry is TO fix the responsibility of the con-
dition of the machinery of the Manauense.
Pending the investigation payments under
the charter Of the vessel will be suspended.

OSMAN DIGNA AT SUEZ.
VIII Spend the Remainder of His
Days as British Prisoner.

SUEZ, Jan. 4-Osman Digna, the prin-
ciple general of the late Khalifa Abdulah,
who was recently taken prisoner by the
British, has been brought here.
Osman Digna was in command of the
Khalifa's Sudanese army when it met and
was crushed by the British Egyptian forces
under General Lord Kitchener last Novem-
Der at Omdurman. He was one of the few
Sudanese leaders who escaped and has
been hiding out since that time, trying
vainly TO call together enough of the scat
tered remnants of his late masters forces
20 make a new stand against the British
invaders.
All sorts of stories are told Of his origin.
It is said he was born at Suakim, that his
grandfather was a Turkish slave dealer,
and he himself, like his two preceding an
cestors is dealer in slaves. Another story
has il that he was born in France. in 1886.
and christened at the Cathedral Of Rouen
under the name of George. His father was
Joseph Nishet, who failed in business
and went TO Egypt with his wife and child.
He died there and the widow married
Osman Digna, a slave trader who gave
his name and fortune to the French child.
Whichever story is the true one, it is GER
tain that Osman Ali or Digna (meaning
rich merchant in 1852, when the insurrec-
ton broke out under AriOa Pasha, and
that he espoused the cause CT the latter.

IL things are bad IL Is because the people

pleading the cause of the American peo-
pie. If the Filipinos were to die to-mor-
row. the world would go on, but IL this
nation ceases to be a republic, the light or
civilization would go out forever. To what
nation, then, does struggling humanity look
for hope and inspiration? IL you want to
see the sad inroads OF this doctrine upon
the conscience of the American people, let
me point you to what Is going on down In
South Africa, a republic fighting with an
empire. In every contest heretofore be-
tween monarchy and republicanism the
American people have expressed their SYM
pathy. When Greece was struggling to be
free. Webster and Clay. exercised their elo-
auence in support of resolution pledging
sympathy; when the Cubans were fighting
for their liberties, all parties declared the
sympathy of the American people. But
what do we find now? We find that when
the British government is attempting to
take from the people of the Boer republic
the right to govern themselves. the people
who believe in Imperialism in this country
dare not say a word to express their sym
pathy with the people over there. This is
the paralysis that Is already creeping over
this nation"

Suffering with wOunds-Majayjay
Evacuated by Rebels.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-General Otis's
cabled report received this morning indi-
Gates that General Schwan is conducting
the campaign in the south of Luzon with
the greatest energy. He has located south
east of Laguna de Bay what is probably
the last considerable force of insurgents
remaining in one command, and to-day's
report shows that, with small loss to him
self and heavy loss to the enemy, he has
managed to completely dissipate their
force probably beyond the possibility of re-
construction. General Otis's cablegram fol-
lows:
"Schwan concentrated a portion Of his
forces, the Thirty-seventh and Thirty-ninth
Infantry, at and near San Pablo, Laguna
province, on the afternoon of the 10Th,
Hayes with cavalry striking for Tayabas
by the lower road. The enemy had adj
vanced from Santa Cruz to very strongly
fortified positions at San Diego, Majayjay
and adjacent points, in country very brok-
en- and mountainous. Schwan struck the
enemy at San Diego and, in an engagement
lasting two hours, killed eighty-two and
wounded large numbers. Our casualties
were one enlisted man killed and fourteen
captured several rifles. ammunition, bolos
and stock of uniform clothing.
Rn the 22d Schwan pushed on through
to Lilo, driving the enemy back on Ma
jayjay. where force reported by an
capped Spanish prisoner to number be-
tween $500 and 5000, well-equipped and
supplied, had concentrated waiting the ap
proach of troops. This position was i'm
pregnable via roads or trails and the
troops were working around on each flank
of the enemy when the enemy retreated
rapidly with the Thirteth Infantry and
surgents are widely dispersed. The coun-
try is now covered by troops and our force
occupies Santa Cruz. A few minor engage
ments at other points resulted in consider
able loss to the enemy.

NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.
Resolutions Commercial and 9th
err Questions Adopted.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-The first bust
of Trade to-day was report from the
committee in regard to additional cable
service to Cuba, presented by Mr.. E. c.
Preston, of Boston. He stated that the
service was now exclusively in the hands
of the Western Union and additional facil-
tiles were needed, and reported resolution
urging upon Congress the passage of legis-
lation which will allow the laying of
competing line between Cuba and the
United States. The report was adopted
A report from the committee on railroad
transportation was submitted by f. B.
Thurber, of New York, in which it was
pointed out that an adjustment of rates
advantageous TO shippers and to the rail-
roads could be made IL the law permitted
the railroads to make agreements under
the supervision Of the Interstate-com-
merce Commission. Mr.. Thurber asked that
the action of the board last year ON this
subject be reaffirmed. This was agreed
to. He also submitted a report indorsing
Senate bill 1889. introduced by Mr.. Cullom
with an amendment allowing railroads to
have associations for the maintenance of
fair rates for the transportation of per-
sons and property, said rates to be filed
with the lnterState-commerce Commission
After long discussion the report was
adopted.
A resolution was also adopted favoring
the passage of an anti-scalping bill. The
board adopted a resolution favoring legis-
lation by Congress remedying the abuses
of the second-claSS mail matter, which
stand in the way Of the adoption of one
cent letter postage resolution was
adopted favoring the immediate adoption of
local one-cent letter postage on drop let
tiers.
a resolution was adopted reiterating the
demand Of the board for the fuller inves-
tigation by Congress, in cooperation with
the standing committee of the board of the
matter of rates paid railroads for mail
transportation with the view of reducing
the present rate paid for mail transporta-
ton. 1t was admitted that the figures pre-
scented the board last year contained in
accuracies, but not. ii was held, sufficient
TO affect action. Other resolutions adopted
commended the work of the commercial
museums at Philadelphia, and urged ap-
preparations for the increase of the pro-
ject: recommended improved methods for
the collection of European crop reports
for communication promptly to the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington; the
unification of the bureaus now having the
work of the supervision of the forests dis
tributed among them as to provide for
their better preservation, and for Bureau
of Forestry; providing for the appointment
of committee on the subject of a none
tary unit of common value by the nations
OF the world; favoring a trade treaty with
Canada; the enactment of legislation es-
tablishing the country's financial system

rency by the banks under government su-
pervision; and recommending that the
United States use its efforts TO prevent the
selfish division of China by the European
countries. The board adjourned to meet

FOUR TO BE DROPPED
ONLY EIGHT CLUBS TO BE IN THE
NATIONAL BALL LEAGUE.
Cleveland and Louisville Already
Practically out and Washington
and Baltimore to Go.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 25.-The meeting
of the magnates of the National Baseball
League, which has been in session here
for two or three days past, and of which,
up to to-day. the newspaper reporters
were unable to obtain any definite informa-
tion came to an end this afternoon and all
but Messrs Hart and Brush left for their
homes. While the representatives of the
various clubs declined to give out the least
information up to the time of their de-
parture it can be stated, on the best Of
authority. that as a result of the meeting
Cleveland and Louisville will be dropped
from the National League. 1t is also rea-
sonably sure that Baltimore and Wash
ington will not be in that organization
when the coming season is opened In
deed, so far as Washington is concerned,
the matter is alrea0y practically settled
But there is hitch on the Baltimore prop
osition on which the circuit committee and
the representatives of the latter clubs
failed to reach an agreement. However,
Messrs. Hanlon. Abel, Soden and Ebbit
went East together on the same train
this afternoon and 1t is intimated that they
may be able to reach a satisfactory solu-
ton on the Baltimore matter before they
| arrive nome In case, however, tndl no
settlement is made in regard TO the Bal
timore club then ii is probable that the
National League will consist of ten clubs.
Cleveland will undoubtedly be in the
American Association, although no papers
have been signed to that effect as yet.
President Ban Johnson of the latter or
ganization, has made a proposition which
will, in all probability, be accepted. The
same is true of Louisville. An offer has
been made for that club by the American
Association which is now under consider
alton, with indications that the deal Will
soon be closed. President Johnson, of the
American Association. said he would put
the best club in Cleveland that money
could buy. He also said that he was
still negotiating for a club in Chicago and
under certain conditions would have
club in that city.
The National League magnates took
every precaution to keep their presence in
town a secret. Each of them registered at
the Hollenden under a fictitious name and
in most cases actually denied their own
identity when seen by newspaper men.
