The Citizens National Bank of Beau
mont, Tex. was closed yesterday after ex-
animation by National Bank Examiner j.
M. Logan and a committee of the Clearing
House Association, which showed estimated
losses amounting to $4,000 and doubtful
items $4,000. Examiner Logan has been
appointed receiver
The failure of this bank Is due to the
large loans made to the President, r..
oliver, and enterprises in which he is in
terested.

SILVER CERTIFICATES.
To the Amount of 100000 to Be
Sent to PHILIPPINES.

New silver certificates for the Philippines
to the amount Of 100000 pesos are soon to
be shipped, the insular division of the War
Department having made arrangements to
send the money by mail. Money sent by the
government Is invariably shipped by ex-
press and the rate of charge Is in proportion
to the amount of the shipment. thousand
1000 bills which would make but small
package that could be carried in the pocket
would cost as much to ship by express as
would a million silver dollars The Philip
pine government does not feel able to pay
such rates, and Col. Edwards accordingly
devised the plan of sending the money to
them by mail.
Col. Edwards has introduced several nov
elites into the office since he has had charge
of the insular division, among them being
the sending Of $3,OOO.0O0 in Philippine GER
ifcates of Indebtedness to New York in
suit cases in charge of two clerks. The ex-
press companies asked such high rate to
transport the certificates that Col Edwards
determined to economic. and did SO, the
cost being the actual expenses Of the
clerks.
Notification was received by the insular
division from the bureau of engraving and
printing that the certificates would be ready
for delivery next week. Mr.. Peppermint
acting chief of the division learned that al
though the certificates were incomplete be-
cause of the omission of the seal Of the in
sular government which will be placed
upon them in Manila, the express charges
would be at the same rate as If they were
complete and negotiable money. The sum
to be paid amounted to several thousand
dollars. The Post Office Department was
then asked to receive the money as register
ed mail and this was done. Three railway
mail clerks will have charge Of the GER
tificates and will accompany them through
to San Francisco. There they will be re-
ceved by an army officer, who will receipt
to the postal clerks, and with a guard of
soldiers will take charge Of the funds until
they are delivered to the treasurer of the
insular government in Manila. In addition
to the postal charges there will only be the
insurance premium to be paid on them
this latter being to safeguard against theft
or other loss.
The denominations Of the certificates are
1000, 900 pesos in 2 peso bills, 20OO 600 in 8
peso bills and 100000 in 10 peso bills They
are very much like the silver certificates in
use here, and it is expected that they will
largely circulate in place of the silver pesos
which they will be exchanged for. Further
shipments will be made as they are COM
pleted by the bureau of engraving, and it is
the intention of the government to circulate
an amount of them equal to all the silver
in circulation there now, the latter being re-
deemed at the pleasure of the holders.

TWO BODIES FOUND.
Death of Man and Woman May Mean
 Suicide and Murder.

Chicago. Sept. 23.-Early this morning the dead bodies of Harriet Elizabeth We Der and Inocenti Talamini, a marble cut ter. were tound on Lexington Avenue, just south os 54th Street.
 Both had been shot twice and while there are indications that the man shot the woman and then killed himself. there are other features to the case that make 1t somewhat mysterious.
 Arthur M. Laurie, with whom the dead woman had made her home, will be held by the police until after the inquest. There is no evidence connecting him with the shooting. but he is detained as d witness. The body of the woman was identified in a short time as that of Mrs. Laurie" but when Laurie was brought to the police station he said that she was not his wife, and that he did not know the mar whose body was found with hers.
 Tonight. in going through the effects of Mrs. Weber an envelope was found ad- dressed. evidently in the handwriting of a man. to Inocenti Talamini. In seeking Talamini to find what he might know of the woman or the shooting, the officers identified the dead man as Talamini him. self No cause Is known why Talamini should have shot the woman. but she had told several of her friends the day before of Jew who had been following her and of whom she was afraid. Talamini has a Hebraic countenance. and 1t Is the general theory that he shot her because she refused to marry him. -#l

YATES SPEAKS ON Mops.
Says He VIII Use Rifles to Protect
 Prisoners.

Carbondale. H.. Sept 23.-Fully 5,o00 veterans and their friends to-day heard Governor Richard Yates speak on 'Mobs" at the opening of the annual reunion of the Southern Illinois Soldiers and Sailors Association.
 Governor Yates said that seven persons in Illinois owed death to mobs He point ed out the baneful effect which such a record had on the people. Mob rule sim ply tore down the good influence that the human race had accomplished during the past. Lynching was the essence of cowardice. 1t permitted no trial. no appeal; 1t gave no quarter. but expected quarter to be given to lynchers. Referring to the Danville riots of July 25. the Governor was profuse in his praise of Sheriff Whit lock. He said that Sheriff Whitlock pro- tected the prisoners in the Vermillion county jail by using combination of common sense and bird shot. The evil dence at the trial of the Danville rioters showed that five of the men bent on un- lawfully executing a negro for the al- legged purpose of protecting the sacred ness of their homes, were wife beaters.
 "As love the memory of the past and revere the flag that you veterans pre- served" said the Governor, .I will keep my oath and put every bayonet and every rife belonging to the State against the further use of lynch law and mob vio- lence."

PLATFORM THE THING
OF MORE INTEREST THAN THE
 CANDIDATE.
Representative Richardson of the Eighth District Gives His Views en the Political outiook-
 The Race Question.

Washington. Sept 2.-tSpeciaI. )-Rep- resentative William Richardson of Hunts ville. who was in the city few hours today on his way to Baltimore. where he will place his young daughter al school, said today: All this talk we hear about the separation of the races Is absolutely impracticable and no part of the country would be more opposed to 1t than the South."
 Judge Richardson said he was not in sympathy with the snfHysf&d agitation ss this time O. the repeal of the fifteen tn amendment any more than he approved the race separation idea. He believes the race question would be best handled by such regulation as had been adopted by Alabama.
 ''I do not believe the agitation of this repeal wise.'' said the Judge, because the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments are too closely associated with the results of the civil war.
 "I do not believe the Southern repre- sentation in Congress will be in danger of being cut down because of the dis franchisement of the black vote
 we have the Constitution of Alabama today as well guarded against allowing the right of suffrage to unworthy citi- zens as any Constitution in the Union. It has also excluded a large number of 
 mistake of the North in the discussion of our election law to suppose that it oper- ates only against colored men. There Is a property qualification of $500 and a voter must be able to read and under stand the Constitution. He must also be of good character
 "The fact Is there are many colored voters under our law and we have no desire to eliminate the colored vote in Alabama. We have some worthy and good citizens among the colored people there. They have registered and have voted and they will continue to do SO. They vote the Republican ticket almost without exception"
 Judge Richardson says the Alabama Democrats are not giving much thought to Democratic candidates for the Presi- dency. They are anxious about the kind of platform that is to be adopted by the National Democratic Convention, but that is all They are satisfied that once the platform Is made satisfactory to them the man will be found to stand on 1t.
 "The Democrats of Alabama" he said, "are decidedly opposed to having dele gation to the National Convention in- structed for any candidate. The delega- ton will go without instructions. We are conservative as to what our platform should be, that platform should pro- nounce for q fair and reasonable reduce ton of the tariff and for the regulation of such trusts as place an embargo up- on trade and competition. The fact that some producers of this country sell cheaper abroad than here will be one of the tests as to the lines the reduction or trusts should take

enough to violate this plain direction and he did not attribute to him an intention to do 1t.
 Senator Morgan said he had recently placed in the hands of President RoOse- welt certain information-which he was not at liberty even to announce to his constituents-that proved to the President the proposition to unite with Colombia in a treaty of this kind was daring. reck- less and dangerous. He was happy that at midnight Tuesday this country had es- capped these dangers. He said the expira- tion of the time had permitted the United States to pc serious controversy with France; had caused us to escape war with Colombia; had caused us to escape joint hygienic arrangements with Colombia i; joint police and judicial control, exclus- i've military control by Colombia All these things this country has escaped
 He read sections from the Colombian n treaty and commented on them to show the unwisdom of the act He said this Government humiliated itself to get this $2.000,00O in the hands of influential men. but Providence had put 1t into the hearts of the Colombian people to reject the treaty.
 This. fellow cihzens," said Senator Morgan, lis what I have been fRhtir9 against in the United States Congress- and you can understand the joy in my heart that beneficent Providence has defeated this dangerous legisation."
 Senator Mo, gan concluded at 1:5O O clock by thanking the Legislature and citizens Tor the welcome extended him and as- surance of his happiness at being in Ala bama.
 At the close of his remarks, Senator Morgan was warmly congratulated by many members of the Legislature who shook his hand
