His Efforts for It.
New York, Nov. 20.-A correspon-
dent of the London Times and New
York Times, wiring from Marakesh
.(City of Morocco), states that he has
just had a long audience with the
Sultan of Morocco.
On entering the palace, says the
he was conducted
through an open square. On one side
of it were cages ,containg His Males
ty's collection of wild beasts, while
roaming about were Barbary wild
sheep, gazeHes, wild boars and cranes.
Sultan Mulai Abdul-El-Aziz, the dis
patch goes on to say, is tall and we'll
built, with most Intelligent and most
pleasant expression and with fascin-
ating manners. No interpreter was
present at the audience, the converse
tion being in Arabic throughout.
There is, declares the correspondent,
no doubt in regard to the soundness
of the Sultan's views, but he is much
hampered by surrounding influences,
and honest viziers are required. Alb
dul-ElAziz makes no secret of his de,
| sire to see reform in every branch OF
the government The correspondent
expected to find a typical, expression
less Oriental, whereas he found q
young man full of energy. He says he
left the palace more hopeful than evel
that there is possibility of a bright
! future for Morocco.

CRIME OF A MooNsHINER.
Killed Two Officers and Cremated Their
Bodies-A Posse In Pursuit.

0VuiSS-tA tVSSG u tufSutts
Oxford, Miss, Nov. 19.-John A.
Montgomery, Deputy United States
Marshal of this >city, and Deputy
United States Marshal Hugh Mont
gomery. of Pontoloc, left here last
night for the purpose of arresting
Will Mathis, an alleged counterfeiter
and moonshiner, who lived IL miles
east of this place. Early today, Hugh
Montgomery's horse was found stand
ing at the gate of Curdy Hall, a neigh
Dor of Mathis, and Mathis house had
been burned to the ground. Upon
further investigation two partially
burned bodies were found in the ash
es of the burned building, which have
been identified as the remains of the
Deputy Marshals. John A. Montgom
ery's horse has not been found, and
it Is supposed that Mathis made his
escape on this horse after the men
had been killed and the house set
on fire. Mathis wife was at her
fathers few miles from her burned
home, and she says she and her hus-
band left home yesterday, her hus-
band leaving the country.
Mathis was indicted last Summer
for making and passing counterfeit
money and was out on $4,000 bond.
The principal witness against him
was a negro living in the same neigh
borhood. About a month ago the ne
gro was assassinated. The two Mont
gomerys went to arrest Mathis for
making Illicit whiskey, and it is sup
posed that they were prevailed upon
to remain for the night, and were shot
while guarding their prisoners. A
posse of 80 or 40 of the leading citi
zens of Oxford went to the scene to-
day and every effort will be made to
capture Mathis.

CLOSED IT'S DOORS
THE METROPOLITAN BANK. OF
TACOMA, susPENos.
Has Deposits of About $500, o,ooo-sayinss of
the School Children. Amounting to Over
$1,000, Are Involved = Due to a Mis-.
understanding Regarding Suit Brought
Against the Old Metropolitan.

Tacoma, Nov. 21.-The Metropoli-
tan bank, P. V. Caesar, president,
closed its doors yesterday after stand
ing a run all of the day before. The
run began as the result of misun-
derstanding, the small depositors be-
lieving that suit filed against the
receiver of the Metropolitan Savings
Bank, which failed five years ago,
had something to do with the present
Metropolitan Bank. About $40, 600
was Withdrawn and the bank has ap-
piled for receiver. Dwight Phelps
was appointed, with bond of $lO,-
600.
The fact that the school children s
savings account, amounting to $12,-
600, was in the bank, helped to spread
the rumor started by the old suit.
The Metropolitan total deposits are
about $500, 600. The failure is due
entirely to the misunderstanding.
President Caesar says he is negotiat-
| ing with New York parties, and be-
lieves he will be able to perfect ar
rangements to pay every depositor in
full The school savings are secured
by school warrants held in trust by
the secretary of the school board.
/ No statement of the Liabilities and
resources has been given out. After
the run on the bank, the clearing
house met and, after an examination
of the securities, offered to advance
money to carry it, provided President
Caesar raised $25, 900. This was not
done and the clearing house declined
assistance. It is unoficially stated
that the securities OF the bank are
i below the amount credited to depos,
! itors, and that there was only Sc. .00(
cash in the vaults when the bank
suspended.

negligent in the preparation of the

For some time the City Health De-
partment had been making an anti
toxine for use in diphtheria cases.
This was distributed among practic-
ing physicians through the city free of
charge, and used in the city tnstitu-
tions quite generally. In many cases
it is said to have saved lives. The
serum was obtained from horses that
are said to- have contracted tetanus,
and to have impaired it to the anti
toxine drawn from their bodies.
