RUN ON DETROIT BANK.
Depositors In Dime Savings Dank
Anxious to Withdraw Their
Deposits.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 25.-A run was
started on the Jefferson avenue
branch of the Dime savings bank
about noon Monday, and soon after
two o'clock it spread to the bank it.
self, at the corner of Griswold and
Fort streets. Depositors were paid as
fast as the accounts could be checked
up and the currency could be counted
out. At three o'clock, the regular
hour for closing the bank, it was
crowded with anxious depositors and
the line of people who wanted to close
their accounts extended through the
door and some distance down Fort
street. Instead of closing the, bank
the directors decided to hold open un-
til six O'Clock. The receiving teller
and his assistants dropped their usual
work and assisted in paying the de-
positors. Until six o'clock accounts
were closed as rapidly as possible. AT
that hour the line of people waiting
for admission to the bank extended
down Fort street for almost block.
President Livingston addressed them
from the steps of the bank and said
that, while the bank would now close,
it would open at nine o'clock this
morning and every depositor would be
paid in full.
1t is impossible to learn what was
the direct cause of the run. 1t is said
that Polish depositor at the Jeffer-
son avenue branch saw a sign on the
door Saturday announcing that the
bank was closed because of its being
Washington's birthday and a legal hol.
iday. He is said to have spread the
report that the bank had closed and
thereby frightened the depositors al
the branch. The news of the run there
gradually spread downtown and start
ed the run on the bank itself. Helr
was Immediately offered by the Other
local banks. 1t was declined, however
the Dime bank having plenty of funds
| in its own vaults.

withdrew his invitation extended to
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina
to attend the dinner given Monday
night in honor of Prince Henry of

man owing to the fact that he is the
ranking minority member of the naval
affairs committee.

WINDS BLEW FIERcELY.
Great Storm on Pacific Const--NTueft
Damage mt San francisco.

San Francisco, Feb. 26.-One of the
heaviest storms that has been expert
enced in many years struck this city
Tuesday morning. The wind attained
great velocity, blowing As miles an
hour in the city, while at Point Reyes
1t reached 60 miles. Ships dragged
their anchors or broke their moor
ings at their docks, a fishing boat
was capsized, the telephone and cleo
trio wires were down, and awnings,
shade trees and fences were wrecked
and pedestrians were greatly incon-
venienced.
The transport Solace, with nothing
but 30C tons of coal to keep her down,
broke from her anchorage and ca
reened about the bay like drunken
sailor. She drifted broadside on un-
til collision with the government
steamer Albatross seemed imminent,
but she veered off in the nick of time.
The wind and the swell caused her to-
drift helplessly, sending her finally
toward the transport wharf at Fol-
som street. The officers of the serv-
ice gathered at the pier, fully expect
ing the Solace to crash into the
wharf. Fortunately the direction of
the swell carried the transport
around until she just cleared the buff
fer and swung out into the stream.
Lightship No. 20, located seven
miles from Point Lobos, parted her
moorings during the storm and was
soon drifting toward the harbor.
which she finally made.
Three three-story houses were
blown down in the Mission district.
The gale as it swept over the Pre-
sidio reservation left in it's trail
wreck and ruin.
Dozens of tents were wrenched
from their positions and after being
carried high in the air were landed
yards away, where they were after
wards gathered up by the rain
soaked soldiers who had fought so
hard to save them.
Prof. McAdie, of the weather bu-
reau, made the following statement:
"At a. M, the pressure at Neah Bay
was 2s inches, which is the lowest
recorded this year. The pressure as
far south as Roseburg, Ore, was
29.10.
"To-day's recorded pressure is bare
ly one inch more than that ut the
time of the Galveston storm n year
ago. The pressure at that time was
United States. The storm will spread
over the entire country west of the
Rocky mountains"

The prince met the president and
the welcome he received was genu-
inely hearty and open-handed, and
he, in turn, showed evidence of the
pleasure it gave him to meet the
president.
At 11:40 n. m. President Roosevelt
returned Prince Henry's visit. He
drove to the German embassy in an
open landau with Col. Bingham. The
president was met at the carriage
by Ambassador Won Holloben and
ushered into the building. The prince
met him in the drawing room, where
there was an exchange of ameni-
ties.
Following the call of the president
came that of the commissioners of
the District of Columbia, who called
to extend to the prince the welcome
of the city of Washington. The
prince received them in the drawing
room, where President MacFarland,
of the commission, delivered an ad-
| dress of welcome.
One of the most brilliant functions
| of the day was at p. m, when
Prince Henry received at the Ger
! plomatic corps, including the am
bassadors and ministers, accompanied
| by their staffs, all in full uniform.
| The visit of Prince Henry and his
| suite to the Capitol in the afternoon
must have been not only q gratifying
experience to the royal visitor on ac-
count of the warm reception he re-
ceived in both the house and senate,
and of the opportunity it afforded to
meeting personally the leaders of
both houses, but it must have been
an extremely interesting experience
as well.
The dinner given to Prince Henry

House last night closed the honors
bestowed on the royal visitor by of.
ficial Washington. The affair was on

bassador Won Holleben and bril-
liant assemblage.
The arrangements at Shooter
island were miserable, and a situa
ton of discomfort to the majorit.
was accentuated by the First and Sec
ond battalions of the New York stat
naval militia, brought to the islan'
to keep the lines and to fire the presi

keep the lines, especially after tn

heads and took to the rough hand
ling of many persons, even women
refusing to recognize either badge
or cards of invitation.
Soon after the launching the presi
