 Its Debts in Full.

Lancaster, Pa, Jan 21.-The follow ing notice was posted on the doors of the City Savings Fund and Trust Co to-day:
 "The directors of this company have decided to close its business. They feel confident all debts will be paid in full"
 The company was organized in 1902 with capital stock of S150,00O. Ru- mors of the impending failure have been rife for several months. At the time of the organization the resources were announced as $1,146,34o. Prior to that time the business was con ducted as private banking institution under the name of D. r. Locher X Son.

ROUVlER SENT FOR.
President Loubet Has Invited Him To
 Form a Cabinet.

Paris. Jan 21.-PreSident Loubet this morning sent for NJ. Rouvier and in vlted him to form new cabinet. M. ROuvier replied that he would consult with his friends and make known his determination at the earliest possible moment. This is expected to lead to the formation of Rouvier ministry after he has assured himself that he has sufficient support to command a E.ajority in the chambers.
 VI. Rouvier remained at the Elysee palace for nearly all hour discussing the situation. M. Loubet manifested desire to terminate the political dssen- slons which are keeping the country in a state of excitement. The selection of NJ. Rouvier will therefore be con Strued as an effort to secure the concili- ation of the various clements upon a less aggressive policy than heretofore.
 The president gave significant evi- dence of his desire for moderation dur ing the visit of the parliamentary del egatiOn which expressed condolences on the recent death of his mother. NJ. LOubet said he never had greater need VI Nohtpil hh" SLY gnu tit "ds glad of the opportunity to make an ap- peal to the representatives of parlia ment for unity. concord and reconcili atiOn which were so necessary today in the superior interests of the repub- lie and the country.
 During the conference President Loubet asked M. Rouyier to secure the cooperation of M. Sarr.en and after, wards NJ. Rouvier had meeting with M. Sarrien. This led 10 the inference that NJ. Sarrien will enter the cabinet, probably as minister of justice.
 It is understood that NJ. Rouvier in. sists on the government ratifying the action of the council of the Legion of Honor in dismissing those making SC cret reports of the lives of army off. cers. This may arouse a controversy and cause delay.
