BANK RUIN IN BOHEMIA.

The bitterness with which the racial
warfare is waged in Bohemia is illustrat-
ed by an incident related by a Vienna
correspondent of the London Times. 1t
appears that some months ago Czech
credit bank was wrecked by maladminis
tration, for which prominent Czech pre-
late was largely responsible. The affair
reflected a certain amount of discredit
upon the whole Czech Clerical party, and
seems to have intensified its jealousy and
animosity against a large savings bank
in Prague. which was exceedingly pros
porous and entirely under German con-
troll Recently rumors began to prevail
that this bank has lost heavily through
a financial crisis in Leipsic and was not
in a position to meet its engagements,
saws the correspondent in Czech Clerical
circles, and to have been prOpagated by
anonymous letters and dispatches among
the Czech agricultural population, whose
savings were deposited with the bank.
In consequence. a heavy run began. For
tunately. the institution possessed a suf-
flcient reserve of cash to meet all de-
mands. and other large financial bodies
went to its aid. Nevertheless more than
a million dollars was paid out to 5000
frightened depositors. The Narodni Listy
the chief Young Czech organ, expresses
the hope that the prestige of the German
bank has received a mortal blow, but
had not a word 10 say in condemnation
of the unprincipled attack upon it.
