THE FINANCIAL crash In Plttsburg,
Pa, yesterday, and the suicide of the
cashier has naturally caused some excite
ment, not only in Pittsburg, but through
out Pennsylvania, as well as anxiety in
other parts of the country, as it is be-
lieved sooner or later such disclosures
will precioitate panic. The failure Of
the Enterprise Bank at Allegheny and the
accompanying tragedy will carry their
own comment. The incident is a condem-
nation moro eloquent than any that could
be put in words of the balelul effect OF
the State Treasury of Pennsylvania ma
nipulatiug the public moneys in its keep
ing. The story of the failure confirms
in the most spectacular manner the
charges of Homer Castle and Mayor
Berry. The institution appears to have
been wrecked by the operations Of the
leading politicians of the State machine,
TO whom credit was extended on shady
securities far in excess of the amount
permissible by the banking laws. This
appears to have been the consideration
which the unfortunate cashier, who took
his life when the failure became inevita-
bic; paid for having his bank designated
as q State depository.

obtained when taken as soon as cold is

Tartar RevolutiOnists.

st. Petersburg, Oct 19.-Advices from
Tifls state that General Takashvili recent
" summoned conference of the leaders
Of Tartars who have been engaged IN
revots. He stated to them that the
government is willing to forget what
has happened in the past and hoped that
in the future the Tartars would be
obedient. The Tartars made promises
to cease their revOlts and remain peace
full in the future, but on the day after
General Takashivili left the city, Tartars
murdered five rich Armenians The
Russian authorities declined to punish
the assassins, and this action has created
the worst impression. 1t is believed
that the refusal to punish the Tartars is
because they are Mussulmans who support
the reactionary element in the govern
ment, while the Christian Armenians
have persistently demanded reforms.

sisted by large force of clerks, this

probing the nature of the securities that
he had accepted for loans. Frederick
Gwinner, president of the bank, said
that the loans made to State politicians
were responsible for the bank and the
allegations made that paper to the face
value of 500, 900 which, it is alleged,
the bank cannot recover, is the cause Of
the insolvency. Neither the directors

THERE is said to be scarcely a coal
company in the southern anthracite re-
gion in Pennsylvania that is not now
working at its full capacity and storing
coal. Where yards and storage bins are
not available coal is being banked upon
cleared pieces of ground near railroads
At some places huge pyramids OF coal Of
domestic sizes rear themselves, and as a
labor paper published at Coal Dale re-
marks, "they are the intrenchments The
operators have thrown up for a strike
next spring" 1t is estimated by ex-
perts that if the coal companies all work
their cOllieries full time they will be
able to store, with what they now have
on hand, about %, 600, 900 tons of coal
before next April. While the great coal
mining corporations are piling the coal,
the anthracite miners are recruiting their
unions with view to argument over a
new arrangement between the corpora
tons and their employees when the pres
ent arrangement ends next year. 1t may
turn out that due preparation for strike
may prove an insurance against a strike.
The general prosperity in the coal fields
will plead strongly against any radical
change in present conditions
