 The Mount Vernon National bank is entirely solvent according to Samuel w.. Raymond, cashier and a director. The institution was closed as 8 precaution- ary measure, MT.

The three senators who were appointed on the committee are likewise conceded to be overwhelmingly in favor of the feature, thereby assuring the yer dict that the house will be asked on next Wednesday, when the two bodies again meet, to reoede from its action of tonight in refusing to pass the bill with the amendment attached.
 The majority of the conference com mitteemen, at the same time, are con- ceded to be in favor of the insurance clause, fact which leads to the belief that the house will likewise be asked to recede from its night action on that section as well.
 The jumbled situation has created a deal of consternation in political circles, so much so in fact that it Is being gen. orally whispered about that the condition is so chaotic as to be almost destruc- tive to the passage of the bill without an extra session of the solons.

MODESTY AND EFFRONTERY

 Carlisle was also "cold" and it was his gigantic mind alone that command ed support, not his manner, that per suaded a following. The case of James A. Mckenzie was exceptional. Gifted orator that he was. admirable as were his parts. extensive as was his read ing-McKenzie was overwhelmed with diffidence whenever he rose to speak It was constitutional with him and he never was rid of it. In social converse when with his friends. he ever took the lead; but among strangers he could not help but put on a reserve that some times became frigid.
 It was that same "coldness" that nearly beat Henry Cabot Lodge for United States senator the other day Folks said he was proud, an aristo- crat cold, selfish, naughty. and he has that manner. So did George Washing ton, as did Ben Harrison. so did John c. Carlisle. so does every self-con- scious, modest man. I prefer Aristides to Cleon. Heaven deliver us from the Iva rm- -hearted' demagogue.
 If you will take down thirteenth Ben Monroe of the reports of the Ken lucky court of appeals and read the dissenting opinion of Elijah Hise in the case of Slack and the Maysville railroad, you will agree with me that it is the production of a prodigious mind. The first half of it is legal and tech nical, but it should delight the lawyer. The rest is political and philosophical and challenges the attention of the statesman. Every young man ought to read 1t, whether lawyer or layman.
 Elijah Hise was a "cold' man, frigid, and yet he thought more of his coun- try and his countrymen than any regi- ment of "handshakers" that even Ken lucky could produce. Unfortunately his lines were cast in the old whig third district and he was not elected to Con gress until he was old and disease and pain had made him ripe for the grave. Had he lived in the "Gibraltar district nothing could have kept him out of Congress when entering upon his prime and once fixture there he would have ranked with Webster or Calhoun. with Alexander Hamilton or John Marshall.

Washington Informed

Washington. March 24.-When Secre- tary Norton was informed by the As sociated Press of the resignation of the cabinet of President Diaz of Mexico he hurried to the White House to tell President Taft. The President was at- tending a musicale when he heard the news.
 Senor De La Barra, the Mexican ann bassador, also informed unofficially, said he expected telegrams from his government concerning the resigna- tions.
 The resignation of the Diaz cabinet was not unexpected in Washington. The state department for some time has been receiving private adyices, stating that change was being contem plated by President Diaz The Mex ican ambassador has admitted that such a contingency was expected this week in Mexico City. but has declined to comment on the situation.
 Dr. Vasquez Gomez, head of the con fidential agency of the Mexican revo- 'lutionists here, expressed pleasure at the news of the resignation of the Dia7 cabinet, declaring 1t was step in the right direction.
 New York March 24.-"We have ex- pected something like this all along,' said Francisco Madero, Sr., father of lHe lHSurFecto sSHSldi, eoiii 6fi'.
 "It had to come. There is no doubt that Limantour will remain in office, however, and it is probable that he will construct new cabinet. Diaz will probably remain. but the insurrection- ists wish even more changes than in the cabinet. Reforms must go all the way back to the change of governors of some of the states. Some of these, by the way. have been in office even longer than the President himself"
 The Maderos were interested in learn ing the status of Ramon Corral When told he had resigned his cabinet post. but not his place as vice president, they predicted that he must go out of office n1tOPether. n
