Defending STANDARD Oil.

New York, Dec. 5.--John Archbold,
active head of the Standard Oil Com
psny, has broken the silence Of squarter
century which has hidden the inner
workings of the greatest corporation,
ana today, in a signed article in the
Saturday Evening Post attempts to de-
fend the combination in all its workings.
He closes with this statement, which
must refer to The object Of the present
suit by the government: ITO disinte-
CRATE its varied arteries of trade, reared
aud developed at home and abroad with
such indefatigable enterprise and in
dustry, would be national calamity"
The whole article seeks to show that the
criticism hes teen unjust and that the
success of the Standard has come to it
solely through its superior business
methods, enterprise aud industry.

Bank Failure.

Kansas, City, No., Dec. 5-The
National Bank Of Commerce. the largest
bank in the Missouri River Valley, failed
to open its doors Today. The following
notice was posted on the door:
"This bank is closed by order Of the
board Of directors and is in the hands of
E. F. Bradley, examiner"
The resources aud liabilities of the
bank on August %, the date of the last
report to the comptroller of the currency,
we're $50, 4S9, S9S, esch. Loans ard
discounts were SIC, 800 446; due from
banks Gil, S68 1924; deposits, $I2, 62l,.

900, 600 The bank has deposits exceed
ing thirty million dollars.
Washington, d. c., Dec. 5.-Rsgard-
ing the Kansas City Bank failure, the
comptroller of the currency made the
following statement today:
"The comptroller's Office has been
advised that the officers and directors OF
the National Bank Of Commerce OF Ken
sls City, Mo-, decided not to open it,
doors today, and requested the national
bank examiner to take charge until their
assets could be resizsd on, when there
is strong hope thst the bank msy be
able to resume. This bank is one OF the
largest in the west and in September
last had about thirty-four millions Of
deposits. Something like twenty two
millions Of this was due to other banks.
TIE failure is doubtless due to calls
which have been made on the National
Bank of Commerce for these banking
bslances and their inability to realize on
their as'ests quickly enough to meet
them. Il is too early for the comptrol-
er's Office to give any details OF the fail
ure, but it is hoped that the bank will
be found scl,en', 50 the depositors eau
be paid in full, if the baok is not able to
resume"
No other bank was affected and bust
nees was normal at the other local bank
log institutions
Vice Presiden, Winants, in an inter-
view, said the bank was murdered by
talk" but that all depositors would be
paid 10 full.
The bank was known to have backed
many industries and within two months
would have occupied its new 16-story
building.
