Chicago Dec. 23. The failure of
Angus fc Gildele gonoral contractor;
the American Brewing Malting and
Elevator company and George A. Weiss
Individually nil of those Wing due to
the collapse of the Nntionn) Ilnnk of
Illinois nnd small runs on threo
banks were tho echoes yostorday
of the bank full tires of Momlny.
Runs were made on the Garden
City Banking nnd Trust company tho
Hibernian Savings bank and the Illi-
nois Trust nnd Savings bank but none
of the runs was of much importance.
Tho officers of the Garden City Hank-
ing and Trust company had expected
that a run would be made upon that
Institution and were ready to meet it.
At the close of banking hours the of-
ficers of the Institution announced that
during the day the amount of money
taken in was treble that paid out anil
tho bank was declared to be in bettor
shape than at the opening of the doom
i n the morning.
The run on tho Hibernian Savings
bank was of short duration an tho
ofllcers declined to make any payment
on time deposits uiiU-.sk given sixty
days' notice. They suld that this was
not because they were not prepared to
pay all depositors in full but K-caofco
they wished to avoid embarrassment
to smnll bankets who might not bo
prepared to pay all their depositors nt
once anil who might be placed in an
embarrassing position if the stronger
banks were paying nil demands for
time deposits.
Tho Illinois Trust aud Savings bank
also demanded sixty days' notice from
depositors. The giving of the notico
was sanctioned by tho clearing house
committee nnd the object was (tho
Illinois Trust being tho strongest sav-
ings bank In the city) to give the
Binnller ones the opportunity to point
to its action as an excuse for giving the
notice themselves which they dm una
thus effectually stonned n run. Tho
Illinois Trust and Savings bank Is said
to have 89000000 in cash on hand nnd
was to-day loaning money instead of
as iu 1603 calling loans to meet the
demands of tho savings depositors.
Two central station detectives
searched tho town Inst night for E. S.
Dreycr nnd Robert ltorger for whoso
arre3t on a charge of embezzlement
warrants woro sworn out insforo Jus-
tico W. T. Hull by Frank E. IConnedy.
The firm of Dicks & Kennedy kept
its account at Dreyer's bank. At noon
Srturday Mr. Kehnody mnde up his
daily deposit and took to the bank
currency nnd checks nggrognting
8141.15." The doors were closed but on
Mr. Kennedy showing his book tho
tiooritecpcr permuted mm tnontcr.anu
a receiving tcllor accepted the deposit.
CmcAflO Dec. 93. Tho listed assets
of the Illinois National bank aro said
to include in ndditlon to tho SS.47S.OOO

pany 8500000 advanced to Robert
llergor a son-in-law of Prusldont
George Schneider; 6500000 advanced
to G. A. Weiss another son-in-law and
over 8300000 of doubtful debts. Bcrger
is a partner In the firm of K. S. Dreyer
& Co. which also went Into tho hnndi

brewer.
The losses by the failure will fnll
upon 1071 Individual depositors und
3S0 national state and private banks.
Included among the depositors arc the
treasurers of tho city of Chicago and
the state of Illinois. The deposits of
tho treasurers of tho city of Chicago
nnd Cook county will aggregate 81000-
000. Tho amount' Tin deposit by tho
htato treasurer was comparatively
small.
Among tho depositors wcie many
large corporations and rocolver. They
lncludod the receiver of the Northern
Pueiflc railroad and the rocolver of tho
Whisky trust The deposits of E. S.

Wasiusoto.v. Dec. 23. The wnnte
waa unexpectedly diverted yest?rdny
from CubH to tho Pacific railroads. An
unusually largo crowd was Iu the gal-
lories anticipating that Mr. Vest
would continue his speech on the attl-
tudo of Mr. Olney toward the Cnmeron
resolution. The interest this had
nwnkened was shown by the presence
In tho diplomatic gallery of First As-
sistant Secretary of State Rockhlll
who le next In rank to Mr. Olucv in
state affairs and who has had special
charge of the reports coming from con-
suls in Cuba. The foreign delegation
also was well represented.
The large nudlonce was considerably
disappointed over the failure of Sena-
tor Vest to make the expected speech
and tho consequent failure of Senator
Hill to replv to him.
The opponents of the Cuban resolu-
tions assert that the Missouri Senator's
failuro to talk Is due to life fact that
he has been Induced to look into au-
thorities which do not sustain his view
of tho question nnd that he has con-
cluded to Investigate further lieforo
.speaking.
Mr. Pottigrew enllcd up his resolu-
tion appropriating SHO.ooo.OOU to take
up the trust notes of the Union Pacific
rallwny. He snld that this step was
imperative to protect the Interests of
tnc government ugniust those who held
the notes whose purpose was to absorb
the branch linos of the I'nloii Pacific.
He declared his belief that the Union
l'ucillo was not Insolvent nnd that the
fiontlng debt was created for the ex-
press purpose of complicating and em-
barrassing the government Hens.
Mr. Genrof Jowa chairman of tho
committee on Poelflc roads nsked If
Mr. Pottigrew favored the operation of
the roads by tho government.
The South Dakota .Senator answered
that certainly the government could
not possibly ituinaL'c the Pacific roads
worso than tney hud Wen managed. It
would do nway with the pools combi-
nations mid ilUcrlmlnatlun In rates
which mnde the American railroads a
target for critleisni He urged that
tho government should embrace this
opportunity for an evperluient In gov-
ernment ownership of u great conti-
nental line. He K'Heved the govern-
ment should take iNissesslon and
operate the Union Puelllc road and Its
branch lines.
Mr. Piatt of Connecticut s(Kho of
the Imperative necessity of considering
the Important question of settlement
with ll..: Pacific railroads. The in-
debtedness reuclutig SI15.0O0.O00 was
iu danger of lielng lost and yet this
seemed to disturb no one. He hoped
it would bo one of tho first subjects
considered after the holidays.
Mr. Morgan o' Alabama said the
statements mnde by Mr. Pcttlgrew
wore of a most grave character. In ef-
fect they meant thnt certain individ-
uals had made a fraudulent combina-
tion to load down these Pacific roads
ao us to absorb them. It w as difficulty
for any single mind to grasp the "lab-
yrinth of friuid nnd rascullty" that had
made this subject a jierfeot "saturuulla
of fraud " it was it twlu brother to
the Credit Mohllcr frauds carried on
by the same methods of bribery and
corruption.
Tho subject has been : -j deeply
burled in fraud and crime as to bo
almost boyond the possibility of an In-
telligent consideration. As to the
pending funding bill Mr. Morgan said
nu opiKMcd It und when It enme up he
would In-ist on the fullest Iattltue of
dobuto.
Mr. Vest interposed at this point
with a question as to tho meunlng of
the President iu his recent message
that unless Congress acted on this Pa-
cific railroad question the executive
bruueli would act by January X
Mr. Morgnn guvo a deprecatory ges-
ture aud aaid. "Now in all Egypt
there was only one man and he was
divinely inspired who could interpret
tuo dreams ol riiaraon. ine seuulor
ought not to ask mo to Interpret the
President's message. If any man Is
capable or interpreting mat message
it Is the senator from Missouri. I am
not stopping to interpret thu message"
Mr. vest with message in hand de-
sired a more exact answer and pro-
ceeded to read the president's words but
was cut off amid laughter by Mr.
Morgan's earnest i emark: "1 wish thu
senator would not bother me with that
message."
Mr. Pettlgrew's resolution was then
referred to the committee on Pacific
railroads. After passing several pri-
vate pension bills the Senate adjourned
to January 5 1897.
