TACOMA. Nov. l9-Thc Metropolitan bank of this city closed its doors thi, morning being forced to suspend pay mcnt on account Of a run on it com mcncod yesterday and continued this morning.
 The run was the result of most un' fortunate error. made by some Of the dc .positors in confusing the institution with the Metropolitan Savings Bank.
 The scare was caused by a suit brought ln thc Superior Court fr day afternoon, asking for the appointment of a receiver for the Metropolitan Savings Bank. \ brief notice of this suit was published in the Saturday afternoon paper. and most ncopie who read it thought that the Met ropolitan Savings Bank and the Metro nolltan Bank were the same. so as soon as the bank opened It's doors yes.erday morning many patrons were on md ready Co withdraw their deposits.
 The public school children have their savings deposited In the Metropolitan Bank. there being probably as many as 900 depositors among the children. A few youthful nnancicrs scented danger and promptly presented their accounts.
 About noon the bank posted notice. signed by the lawyers bringing the suit stating that the action was in no way di- rccted against the Metropolitan bank.
 Later he following notice was Issued To thc Patrons of and Depositors with.
 thc Metropolitan Bank;
 It ha- been rumored about the city that Che Metropolitan Bank ls in some way Involved tn the proceedings commenced last Friday. in the Superior Court. for thc appointment of a receiver for the old Metropolitan Savings Bank Whoever may be responsible for the circulation Of this rumor. We desire Co contradict it In the most positive terms,
 The Metropolitan Bank has not now. and u never had the slightest eonnec- tion with the Metropolitan Savings Bank or It's afrilrs. and is not in any way re- sponsible for its debts. and cannot be ef- rected one way or another by any pro ,ccdlngs against it.
 We have deemed it but just Co our friends Co say this much to them. as such a rimor may cause some Of them un- necessary dilAiclgs

Word was brought up last night that the contractors had again dropped the cable. and the scow and two steamers would have to go back to Shelter Island and pick it up and commence an over.
 This information was given the Alas kan last night by Capt Tibbitts. He stated that while nearing the imporant point known as Point Bridges. the cable slipped and sank immediately Into the water. As the best place to pick 1t up is at Shelter Island the contractor must go back there and commence grappline for it.

Duties will be Returned.

SAN Francisco, August 10.-Ac-
cording to a decision rendered
yesterday by Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Spaulding it lie entirely
possible that the Government may
be forced to restore all duties on
importations from the Hawaiian
Islands paid between July z, 1898,
and July IA, 1900.
The decision was rendered on the
formal protest made by the Standard
Oil Company against payment of
duty on thirty-seven empty drums
returned to this city from Honolulu.
Secretary Spaulding rules that
under the decision Of the United
States Supreme Court in the cases
OF Crossman vs.. the United States
and De Lima vs. Bidwell the Hawaii
an Islands ceased on July z, 1898, to
be foreign territory within the
meaning of the tariff laws, and, in
consequence, that section 10 of the
laws of 1890 became imperative
against them.
This is understood to mean that
all tariff duties on Hawaiian imports
we're illegal exactions and are re-
turnable.

Congdon is Dead.

Henry Congdon, a we'll known
citizen, died at the Queens Hospital
this morning from consumption, a
sickness which for years had ravish-
ed the constitution of the deceased.
Z Congdon was native OF Michi-
gan and was so years of age. He
arrived here about IL years ago and
engaged in the liquor business with
Hamilton johnson, the former pro-
prietor of the Hamilton House.
later on known as the Arlington.
The liquor business was at first
located in the Mcintyre building on
Fort street, but after Congdon sold
out, he established the California
Wine Company with headquarters
on Hotel street.
He met with business reverses,
and that and his poor health made
him withdraw eventually from the
business, which has been conduct
ed since under the auspices of
Charles Phillips.
Congdon was married to the sister
of Joe Tilton, the ill-fated manager
of the Hawaiian Hotel, but for some
years he and wife lived apart. A
daughter is the only issue OF their
union.
Congdon was a man well-liked in
the community and, while it may be
for the best that he was relieved
from bis sufferings, he will be miss
ed by many friends who knew him
in his halcyon days. The funeral
will take place tomorrow afternoon
at 3 O'Clock from the undertaking
parlors of 81. Fl. Williams.
