 Allahabad, British India. May 3.-Se- rious anti European riots have occurred at Rawalpindi. Puntab.
 A Hindoo mob burned two bunga- lows, pillaged the mission church. footed the postoffice, burned garage and all the motor cars in 1t, destroyed the plant of a power house and smash ed the windows of the residences of many Europeans.
 Armer police eventually obtained the upper hand and dispersed the rioters. The town is now patrolled by squad ron of the 10th Hussars.
 The outbreak at Rawalpindi is at- tributed to the incendiary influence of wellknown agitators who have been making speeches throughout the Pun jab, and who, also are held responsi- ble for the recent outbreak at Lahore.
 Rawalpindi is a fortified town of the Pundajab, pit of the Rawalpindi df- vision and district and has a popula- ton af about 90,00o.. The Rawalpin- d. division has about 5,5o0.00o inhab- itants.
 There was considerable excitement at Lahore about the middle of Febru- array following the conviction of the proprietor and editor of a native news paper who were accused of stirring up hatred against the government and the British community.
 A story was printed in the paper to the effect that an English officer shot a Mohammedan policeman for refus- ing to carry the carcass of a dead boar which an officer had captured Tho government prosecutor showed the story was fictitious and that the policeman was killed by being thrown from a horse.
 The prisoners pleaded that they had published an upverihed rumor in good faith but the courts sentenced them to two years in prison and a fine. and the editor was condemned to six months Imprisonment and fined.
 After the sentences had been i'm posed a crowd of Hindoos paraded the streets angrily denouncing and hoot- ing every European they met.

FRANK MKEE INSANE.
Patient a BrOther-in-Lazc of PreSi-
dent H0rrisOn'S DAUGHTER.

Frank Mckee, an uncle of Baby" Mckee,
more properly known as Benjamin Harrison Nc
hee, who is grandson of President Harrison
and is now student at Yale. became violently
insane yesterday at his bachelor apartments, at
No. 81 Lexington avenue He was removed TO
the psychopathic ward at Bellevue, where he will
be held under observation, pending word from
his family in Indianapolis
DR.. Clarence McWilliams, of No. 112 West
55th street. who has been attending Frank Nc
kee for the last month says his patient has
been suffering from meancholia, and that
Monday he received a letter from friend of
the family which told him of the death of one
of his brothers in Indianapolis. and that since
the letter came he has grown worse
The doctor. after vain efforts to find Mr.. Nc
KEGS brother. who is supposed 10 live here.
finally telegraphed to his nephew Baby Nc
Kee at New Haven. The latter said he thought
he would be able to find his father.
According to DR. NcWiams, the saddest
feature of the case is that Frank who has been
living alone here for the last two years, has not
been friendly with his family and relatives, and
has even returned unopened all letters he re-
ceived from them. Thus he did not become
of his brothers Illness until a friend Of
the family there informed him. The news. COM
ing so suddenly overwhelmed the already weak
ened system of Mr.. Mckee. and the result was
complete nervous collapse.
On Monday. after the receipt of this letter
from his old home he purchased a revolver, and
it was only by the quick wit of Mrs. Charles
Holt who occupies the first floor of the building
in which Mckee lives, that he saved from
shooting himself. =
When Mr. Mckee became extremely violent
yesterday the doctor ordered ambulance
from Bellevue Hospital and Dr. Rice responded
The Bellevue physician brought with him Pa
troman Brennick. of the East 22d street sta
tion. and 1t took the combined efforts of the
doctor the policeman and a male nurse TO get
Mr.. Mckee to the hospital.
DR.. Gregory, the head OF the psychopathic
ward at the hospital, took the patient under his
personal supervision when Dr. McWillams ex-
planned the to him. and Mr.. Mckee will
be kept there until he shows signs of improve
ment until his family in Indianapolis sends
for him.

FRISCO BANK CLOSES.
Suspension Of California Safe De
post and Trust Com PAM.

San Francisco Oct. 3O-The California Safe
Deposit and Trust Company bank closed its
doors this afternoon. 4 notice was posted on
the door stating that owing to the fact that
the bank not member of the Clearing
House Association and was unable 10 take ad-
vantage of Clearing House certificates ii would
close for a few days"
The California Safe Deposit and Trust Com
pany has been regarded as one of the strong
financial institutions of San Francisco. It's
president is D. +. Walker and ]. D. Brown is
manager. The bank is understood to be the
financial agent on the coast for the Western
Pacific Railway now being built.
The closing of the bank was caused by heavy
Withdrawals of deposits in the last few days.
The bank could not protect itself did the
members OF the Clearing House Association. and
found it impossible to get the cash to meet de-
mands made upon it, 1t is the opinion of local
bankers that the California Safe Deposit and
Trust Company is solvent. and that the embar-
rassment Is merely temporary
The news of the closing of the bank was not
made public until just before o'clock. the clos
ing hour. that none of the other banks was
affected. The banks that members of the
Clearing House Association are all using clear
ing certificates and are paying out only small
amounts of cash that are necessary to meet
payrolls. The heads of these banks manifest no
alarm over the situation.
Governor Gillette telegraphed from Eureka
tonight that he would declare tomorrow a

Springfield. Ill. Oct. sO-After being intro

States" Speaker Cannon addressed the Spring
field Ad- Mems Club to-day on the stability of
the country's finances
Mr Cannon spoke Of the great wealth of the
United States and its great business and COM
mercial affairs, which were all on the most sub
stantial basis. The last ten years had been the
greatest in business growth in the history of the
country. This was shown by the Postofice De
partment. which registers the business pulse of
the country. Its revenues and expenditures ten
years ago were about $4,000 600. They had rap
idly grown to $2OO.0OO0OO No other country in
the world displayed such magnificent progress as
this country.
The credit and currency of the country should
not be disturbed by little Wall Street furry
that was not an evidence Of disturbance of COM
mercial business or Iessened financial ability of
the country. There was no occasion for such
false notions. Let sensible. energetic business
men realize that this financial furry with
foundation and the fears that had bseE. dis

vanish into thin air.
