Port Townsend, Nov. 20.-ArrivaIs
from the north on the steamship Sena-
tor report that the steam ship Topeka
struck a rock in Taku Inlet instead of
an iceberg as previously reported. A
passenger on the Senator was on the
Topeka when the accident occurred
and was on deck. A binding snow
storm prevailed at the time Of the ac-
cident and the Topeka struck square
against an overhanging clif on the
shore of Taku Inlet. Seafaring men
familiar with icebergs say that when
a vessel collides with one the pune
ture is always below the water line,
and the Topeka's injuries were above.

Laden With contr,hand for Rosrs.

London, Nov. 2l.-- The govern
ment has caused the detention Of a
British steamer which was fitting out
ostensibly for a pleasure cruise, at
Victoria docks, on the ground that
the vessel was laden with contraband
of war destined foi the Beers. A
searchlight fixed on the steamers
mast brought her under suspicion.
and it is said a subsequent search
disclosed four field guns and quanti-
ties Of raw material for the manufac-
ture of gunpowder, and that the vessel
was fitted inside to accommodate from
500 to 800 men. The captain Of the
steamer says his instructions from his
employers directed him to call at
Hamburg after leaving the Thames.

LETTERS FROM MISS STONE,
Long Captivity Has Affected her Health
Brigands Hold Out for Big Ransom.

Sofia, Nov. 20.-Another letter has
been received from Miss Ellen M.
Stone. Her health has been some
what affected by her confinement and
hard fare, but she expresses herself
as still confident of ultimate release.
A letter to Mr.. Dickinson, diplomat
ic agent of the United States at Sofia,
replying to his proposals concerning
ransom, says the brigands will hold
out for figure very much above the
sum at Mr.. Dickinson's command. The
brigands interpret Mr.. Dickinson's
note having fixed on the sum he is
willing to pay, and on time limit, as
being indicative that he can get more
money. They also demand immunity
from prosecution. But 1t Is imp0ssi-
BILE for the diplomatic agent of the
United States to have power to bind
the governments Of Bulgaria and Tur-
key. This point, however, is not likely
to be serious obstacle in the way Of
negotiations.

CLOSED IT'S DOORS
THE METROPOLITAN BANK. or
TACOMA. suSPENDS.
Has Deposits Of About O.OOO-Savinss Of
the School Children. Amounting TO Over
$4,000. Are Involved : Due to Mis-.
understanding Regarding Suit Brought
Against the Old Metropolitan

Tacoma, Nov. 2I.--The Metropoli-
tan bank, P. v. Caesar, president,
closed its doors yesterday after stand
ing run all of the day before. The
run began as the result OF misun-
derstanding, the email 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 a bond of $40, :
600.
The fact that the school children s
savings account, amounting to $l2, :
600, was in the bank, helped TO spread
the rumor started by the old suit.
The Metropolitan's total deposits are
about $500,000 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. 1t is unofficially stated
that the securities Of the bank are
below the amount credited to depos-
itors. and that there was only $6, 900
cash in the vaults when the bank
suspended.
