only the cash funds of the bank and
nothing else had been used in any

This information was extremely re.
assuring to depositors and caused
many who came to withdraw their
funds to realize that they were secure
in the bank and then left without
making an effort to get their money.

argument aud Senator Sanborn offered

CRUISER

Possible Use of Minneapolis
in Baltic Sea.
VESSEL ORDERED TO RUSSIA
Navy Department Admits She Will
Anchor Near KIonstadt to Save
CountTymen and Others.

The cruiser Minneapolis, the flagship
OF Rear Admiral Chester. and the only
vessel OF the American Navy in Esu-
rOpean waters, is going 10 the Baltic
sea. and will get as near Kronstadt "a
possible. in order TO offer to fugitive
Americans from st. Petersburg the pro-
lection of the Stars and Stripes, IL such
an asylum should be needed by Amer
leans as result of the disorders in st.
Petersburg.
il was admitted in Government cir
cles today that the Minneapolis VIII
make for Kronstaut for that purpose.
At the State Department it was de-
ciared there is little possibility thar the
Minneapolis will be put TO such use,
but full arrangements have been made
for the presence of the vessel As near as
possible to the stornl center
The Minneapolis cannot go to Kron-
stadt without the permission of the Rus
sian government At the -hTst sign OF
danger 10 Americans. however, the nee
essary permission VIII be asked. and
there is no doubt that it will be granted
forthwith.
one of the most momentous possibili-
ties is that the Minneapolis may be
used as a rescue ship for the Czar and
the members OF the royal family. II
should be considered that this sugges-
tion is only a possibility. which is made
plausible by the fact that it would be
extremely difficult for a warship OF al
most any other nation TO pass the
heavy fortifcauons OF Kronstadt, which
may at any time again get out of the
control OF the government and into the
hands of the mutineers.

Company, at 6.2o O'Clock this morning.
which resulted in serious injury to five
worzmen.
There were ten men on the mine cage
The accident occurred while the men
were being lowered to their work. When
the eighth load was nearing the bottom
the engine failed to work properly and
before It could be stopped the cage
with its human freight went to the
bottom. The men were dashed to the
ground, the principal injury being caus-
ed to their backs by the sudden stop
The mine was wrecked and the col
liery thrown idle for the day.
Several physicians were summoned
and the injured men were cared for
and sent TO their homes in the COM

The theory Of TIA accident is that
there was water in the cylinder which
prevented checking the engines when
the bottom was reached.
