why the lSank Failed.

Berlin, July l5.---Tne ruin Of the Le'p.
siger bank that failed about year ago
for nearly 2OOOOOOO0 marks was wrought
by the fascinating personality Of Adolph
Schmidt, according to the testimony given
at the three weeks trial Of the banks di.
rectors, now nearing an end. The Trehor.
trocknung (grain drying) company u
Cassel, a, concern exploiting on an enor-
nous scale process for drying beer dregs
and cattle feed, persuaded the bank to
advance, during a number OF years. sums
Of money aggregating S0,O00,OW marks.
Every member Of the apparently well
meaning board Of directors when exam.
ined before the jury, admitted that this
colossal business mistake was indefensible
upon sound commercial principles. New
ertheless they consented because Schmidt
made them believe in the amazing posi-
bilities.and profits Of the process. Schmidt
is described as having a quiet manner ana
simple way Of expressing himself in ornate
language. He talks with calm air Of
conviction and seems to have believed
completely in himself. He is now in Jail
awaiting examination.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

II Is many months since ore snip
ments from Boundary mines were ~
low as last week. The Greenwood
smelter closed entirely and the Gran
by shelter closed for several days.
The Sunset smelter has been work
ing steadily. but is expected to blow
out tomorrow morning. The only trou-
ble with the smeltey is lack of coke,
a result of the Fernie coal miners
strike. The CRANKY smelter is getting
4 little coke from Michael. but none
ia being received by other smelters.
The shipments from different mines
for the week we're: Snowsh0e, LILO
tons; Sunset, $50 tons; B. c. mines.
$50 tons; Emma, 80 tons. The total
for the week is 1880 tons; total for
the year, 259.S54 tons.
W. Blakemore. formerly superinten-
dent Of the Coal creek mines, says that
unless the strike at the mines was set
tied Immediately. 1t was very doubt
full II the mine would ever reopen. The
explosion of May had severely shaken
and partially wrecked the hill, and as
nothing had been done in the way Of
repairing the props, he said. the noun
tain was likely to subslide and bury
the mine so that future working would
be impossible without impracticable
expense. II such q thing should take
place the town Of Fernie would be ut
terly ruined and deserted. He be.
1ieved that the company recognized the
probability OF such occurrence taking
place and was pressing the develop.
ment of the Michael and the Morrissey
mines to take the place Of the Coal
creek mines.
Paul Johnson, manager of the B. c.
company's smelter at Greenwood.
states that he has received advice
from the company's general manager.
Frederic Keffer. who left Greenwood
for Fernie last Wednesday, that the
Crows Nest Pass Coal company has
resumed the shipment Of coke to
Greenwood.
The resumption of development and
shipments from the CRANKY Console
dated Mining. Smelling & Power com
pany's group Of mines at Phoenix
B. C., and the starting up Of three fur
naces at the ,smelter at Grand Fork!
has gone good way to enliven things
IN the Boundary district. Just &c
soon as the Crows Nest Pass Goa
company can forward sufiicient sup
ply of coke there Is little doubt but
that shipments from the CRANKY mines
will be resumed at the nominal out
put Of 1900 tons per day.

Washington, June 30.-It was stated at
the war department recently that the Phil
ippine archipelago would be placed under
control OF the civil authorities, as reported
by the civil governor and the Philippine
commission, on the Fourth of July. and
that General Chaffee's functions as mill
tary governor of the provinces now under
military control will terminate on that
date
General Chaffee, however, will remain
in command of the military division of
the Philippines, and will assist the civil
authorities in the preservation of peace
and good order whenever called on to
do so. The effect of this policy will be
the complete establishment of civil gov
eminent throughout the entire Philippine
archipelago ON Americas independence
day. The military will be everywhere
subordinate to the civil authorities, Just
as it is in the the United States. The
troops will be employed to enforce the
mandates of the civil government only
when the constabulary and other civil
forces are unable to cope with the situa
| ton.
| 1t was further stated that the Morol
will be allowed to continue their tribal re
lations for the time being and will be gov
erned under practically the same condi
tions as the American Indians until it il
demonstrated that civil government ma,
be advantageously established Throughout
the province of Mindanao
