KANSAS BANKRUPT
BY DEYL|N CRASH
SuntlOWer State Had $751;.
OOO in Closed Topeka Bank.
c NOT PAY SALARIES
Audit Official Sees No Help for Trouble.
No More Warrants on the
Treasury.

TOPEKA, Kan, July 6.-By the fail
ure Of the First National Bank here
monday the State Of Kansas became
bankrupt. and the officers and employees
of State charitable and penal institu-
lions will receive no more salaries until
october unless some way out of the
present difficulties can be found
The failure of the First National is
aseribed to loans of $1,000, 900 made to
-. !. DeYifn, the Northwestern mine and
railroad operator, by whom the bank
was controlled. Two other banks to
which the Devlin estate is heavily in
debt-the Spring Valley National, of
Spring Valley. ILL.,, and the First Ma
donal. of Toluca, Ill.-cIosed their
doors yesterday
The auditor OF the State of Kansas
II is announced, will issue no more
warrants on the treasury for salaries
or other expenses which are to come
out of the general revenue fund
When the First National, of Topeka
failed 1t had on deposit $547, 900 be-
longing to the State. The general rev.
enue fund of the State, with which it
was expected to pay current expenses
until the new reciprocity law should
tsso become su effective in October. Is less ss:
There are now in the auditors Office
warrants for s1S3,O00, which is the
monthly payroll Of the State char
ftahle and penal institutions. Mr. Ma
t1on has refused to countersign any Of
these warrants, and the 1000 employees
of the institutions will be without their
June salaries.
We simply do not know what to do"
said j. NJ Nation, assistant auditor
Of State, "and SO we have decided not to
Issue any more warrants. There would
be no way of replenishing the perrna-
nent school fund and the other funds
Tor which the law does not provide a
means of replenishing, and we do not
care to take the chance of using any
OF the money from them.
Il do not see any way out OF the
trouble unless the executive council can
meet and decide to which funds the
deposits In other banks belong. He has
no authority to do such thing as this.
/ see no. way out of bankruptcy for the
State for the next three months. Even
If the council could do this the State
again would become bankrupt within a
short time, as the general revenue fund
to which belongs the balance of the
money deposited in the other banks to
the States credit would be diminished
by one-half, and the State would ex-
haust this in expenses in little more
than thirty days.
So, figure the proposition in any way
We can, we cannot see a way to pay
more than a part of the expenses dur
ing the next three months. The others
will go unpaid and the State will be
bankrupt. / do not believe there Is
way out of the difficulty"

Mystery of Gen. JOhnstOn's Death.

Editor National Tribune: The cor
respondence in a recent issue Of The
National Tribune is interesting indeed
to those who looked upon the form and
face of the remains supposed to be
those of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston
after the battle of Shiloh. 1t was the
morning Of Tuesday, and / was a men,
Der Of Co. F, Cd KY, Nelson's Division.
The news that the corpse of the Con-
federate General was at headquarters
spread rapidly through the camp, and
with a number of others I went over to
see it. / had my doubts then as to the
them still, Gen. Nelson to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
1t seemed to me unreasonable. Rebel
prisoners gave us the news that Gen.
Johnston was killed Sunday evening,
the first day Of the fight; that he was
caught by one Of his orderlles or a
member Of his staff as he fell from his
horse. The rebels were at that time
driving the Union forces back toward
the river, and continued to do SO up
to o'clock, or late In the afternoon.
Now, is 1t reasonable that Johnston
orderlies would leave him on the field:
that Beauregard, who Immediately took
command, and made the bombastic ut
terance that he would water his horse
in the Tennessee River or in hell"
would not have sent parties to remove
he remains of his chief from the scene
IF the conflict?
1t is one OF the singular things Of the
war and its incidents that this occur
renee has never been satisfactorily set
tied. l only regret that l cannot throw
any definite light on the subject-F

with rapidity and fatal precision
which could not be surpassed. The ma
| ture of the ground over which we pass
ed was most unfavorable to such a
| movement. The two right brigades
| fields; the two left through dense un-
| dergrOWth. The line thus became more
| irregular and broken every moment
and when the two right brigades had
| driven the enemy into his main works
| the line was so much broken and mixed
up that. although the men were in good
| spirits and perfectly willing to make
the attempt, it was not deemed prac-
| ticable~ to carry the works by assault
| The commands were halted and the
| best possible line under the circum-
stances was formed. Browns, Triggs's
and Reynolds's Brigades lay in a
swampy ravine, within pistol shot Of
| the enemy's works. The other two bril-
| gades held the road on their right. The
! dead and wounded were all removed to
| the rear. and after holding our position
for several hours. in compliance OF the
orders of Gen. Hood. the division re-
| turned to its old position. With per-
haps some few exceptions the conduct
| Of the troops was highly creditable. My
Losses were heavy. $40 killed and
wounded. Among the killed were Col
