The Washington National Bank of New York is in difficulty, and was at a late hour yesterday afternoon placed in Bank Examiner Hepburn’s hands. President Sherman, who is sick at his home, said that the depositors would all be se cured. There would be some little loss, but that, would come out of the stockholders. The de- positors might have to wait a short time, be- cause money had been lent on notes which could not be collected now. ‘The suspension is due, for the greater part, it is said, to the undue Intitude accorded friends of President Sherman in the way of loans. A large amount of the securities deposited for these loans have been of the “cat-and-dog” class. ‘ifr. Sidell Tilghman, one of the directors, who is now in charge of the bank, affords this statement for the benefit of the public: “About one week since I discovered some ir- regularities im the affairs of the Washington National Bank, which I brought to the atten- tion of the directors at their last regular meet- ing, held on Thursday. March 19, and, at my own request, I was placed in charge of the bank. I began an investigation, which dis- closed an impairment of the capital stock of about $55,000. “After a cursory examination on Saturday last by # representative of the Gallatin National Bank and myself, it was found that the impair- ment was in the neighborhood of $75,000. The officials of the Gallatin National Eank scemed to be Very friendly and, perhaps, lenient, and | informed me that if the impairment was made | good they would continue to clear for us. I then had an interview with Mr. F. D.

I., wharf, and the death by suicide almost at the same time of Wm. Wright, his friend, at the Astor House. Mra. Annie Gertrude Neill, an actress, identified the dead man as a young Englishman named George Edgar, who, whe said, was sometimes known as “Fred Evans”—the name on the Astor House register. Other witnemes, however. identified him as William Wright, the brother-in-law of Rut- tinger. The question of identity is therefore still undecided. A fact was deveioped yesterday in connec- tion with the case which intensifies the mys- tery. District Attorney Fitzgerald and In- spector Byrnes have learned that letters were written to Wright by his mother and his brother Richard. The first of these letters should have reached New York on February 11. ‘The second ought to have arrived about a week ago. Both letters were addressed to the gen- eral post oftice, New York city. A search was made for these letters in the post office yester- day, but neither of them could be found. They mist have been called for and handed over to the person who called for them. None of the delivery clerks are able to recall the letters. This is not surprising, for hundreds of letters similarly addressed are handed to strangers every day at the general post office. The Astor House suicide took place on February 3. If Wright was the suicide somebody, who it is natural to anppose knew something about the tragedy, impersonated the dead man and re- ceived his letters. siesta ee lee HAS COME TO STAY, Maj. McKinley Says That the Tariff Will | Not Be Repealed in Ten Years. Ex-Congressman McKinley of Ohio was ac- corded a great reception at Mechanics’ Hall in Worcester, Mass., last evening. The hall was not large enough to hold the audience that came together. Mr. McKinley said: “The first question that confronts any government is how shall the money be raised to meet its necessary expenses. To carry on our government it takes $1,000,000 every twenty-four hours. It is purely a business question and it is done by direct or indirect taxation. Government cannot create money. Its only assets are public lands. Its only way to revenue is to get Congress to lay taxes. A REVENUE TARIFF. “The object of a revenue tariff is realized when it has the lowest rate that will call out It im- poses its duty upon goods which cannot be pro- ducedat home. The protective tariff, the bur- den, duty or tariff on foreign people, enconr- ages our own people in their industries and employment by laying it on articles that enter into competition with home manufactures. A nue tariff is always paid by the consumer. is cannot always be said of the protective tariff. hey say ‘that protective tariffy are paid by the cousumer: they forget that rev- enue tariffs are never paid by any one else. Ah, but they say: Why isn't free trade a good thing? Tt i are finished and completed, if you have stopped growing. But here decay steps in. They ray there ix free trade between the states with sixty-two million of people. Why not with al! the world? ‘hey forget we live under a different. government from every other government in the world. It is because we did not want any European in it that years ago our fathers broke away from British tyr- anny and set up for themselves on a plan ferent from every other nation of the world. It is that that makes us the greatest nation of the world. Why should we have free trade with other nations? We can’t reach any other nation. We can't tax it. The foreigner is ex- empt from all duties of government. Tell me why he should enjoy the privileges of citizen- ship in the United States und its markets? “Our population is 5 per cent. or one-twen- tieth the population of the glob>. We consume in many products a third of all produced. We propose from this time forwe-d to manufacture most of what we consum:. Reference to tin production brought ont tre- mendous applause. Industry is due to the pro- tective tariff in its youth and manhood. REPEAL IN TEN YEARS IMPOSSIBLT. Major McKinley spoke of the accomplish- ments of the Fifty-first Congress, saying that no democratic majority in Congress that will be elected in the next ten years will be able to repeal it. [Great applause] ‘The treaty with Brazil givesa foreign market. We have practically got free raw material, for private citizen can’ bus his raw material abroad, pay a tax on it at the custom house, mi ture it in his factory and the government wil refund 99 per cent on the manufactured arti- cle, keeping 1 per cent as ite percentage for handling goods. Protective tariff does not build a Chinese wall_around a country, for in single years since 1379 we have exported more than in seventy-one years from 1790. We can have free trade perlaps when other nations bring their laborer up to sur high standard, for we will never descend to theirs. [Applause.] WEALTH WIDELY DIFFUSED. “It is said that the protective tariff takes from the many to pay the few. There is no country in the world where wealth is more widely diffused or where there are more hom We have no quarrel with Great Bri- paid for. tain.

At 6 o'clock, from his appearance in Gouver- neur Hospital, one would think he weighed at least 300 pounds, The strange transformation has had but one parallel since the opening of the institution. It was caused by an injury. While at work yesterday afternoon a number of Doards fell on Shonebein. breaking his ribs. One of the ribs penetrated his lungs, letting the air into the tismuey and causing the swelling.

Harris, the young medical student whoprescribed morphine for the young woman, was her husband, and her parents seem to be- lieve that he had more to do with her death | than ho is willing to admit. ‘Miss Potts was the daughter of George Potts of Ocean Grove, N. J., and entered the Comstock school in September Inst. She bad known Harris since 1889,in the summer of which year he lived in the house adjoining her home in Ocean Grove. While they had been together not a little, none of their acquaint- ances suspected that they were more than friends. When Miss Potte went to New York city to attend echool last fall Harris also went to finish his studies at the Coll of Physicians and Surgeons, and he visi her | Tegularly. _ Last January Miss Potts complained of hav-" ing headaches and of being unable to sleep. She said that her friend had prescribed for her and that his pills relieved her pin and cured her insomnia. On January he gave her four pills. | Two days later Harris went to Old Point Comfort on a visit. Miss Potts took the last of the pills on Raturday evening, January 31, and went to bed. She was found in a por a few hours later and died at 11 a.m. the next day in spite of all efforts to save her lit The coroner's jury on February 27 decided that she came to her death from opium poison- ing. but blamed no one. It was thought that the small quantity of morphine which she took wns fatal because of some constitutional weakness. ‘The young woman's mother had learned last August that her daughter and Harris had been married on February 8, 1890, Miss Potts having given her name as Helen Neilson. In August the young woman, who was only nineteen, be- came ill. The girl then told of her marriage with Harris, ‘Mrs. Potta did not wish to have her husband know of the secret marriage, o she consented to sy nothing about it to any one. Harris Promised to have wife over again this spring. when he should have finished his stndies. When Mrs. Harris died her mother informed Mr. Potts of the se- cret marriage. HABRIS SURRENDERS HIMSELF. Harris, who lives at No. 28 East 17th street, with his grandfather, Dr. Benjamin W. Mc- Cready, called on District Attorney Nicoll on Saturday, in company with aunt, and said that he would give him- self up whenever he was wanted. He denied that he had anything to do with his wife's death, except to give her the pills, which, ordinarily, would have been harmless, He be- lieved that these might have caused death in anomalous instances if several were taken at one time. Harris admitted bis marriage to Miss Potts to Mr. Nicoll. Harris denied that he thought other woman or had made love wedded to Miss Potts. It ted that this might have fur- ished a motive for s desire to be rid of his wife. ‘The Potts family kept their information se- cret until about @ week ago, when Mr. Potts tried to have young Harris expelled from the College of Physicians and Surgeons on account of hisactions with regard to Miss Potts. It Yas, to supply evidence to the faculty that Mrs. cree and Dr. Treverton drew up their affida- vi DR. TREVERTON'S STATEMENT. Dr. Treverton made public yesterday a state- ment cf his connection with the case of Mary Helen Potte-Harris says that when his niece was visiting him in the summer of 1890 he suspected Ler condition and asked her about it. She told him of her marriage with Harris and the state of health she was in. She told him that she had had three unsuccessful opera- tions performed. Dr. Treverton, concluding that something musi be done, called in Hand for consultation and after an examini tion discovered that she was suffering trom septic poisoning. It was then decided that she must be relieve: This was done by the use of drugs. The child had been dead for some time and had marks of instrumente upon it. Dr.Tre- vertou further says: “In consequence of the complications of the case, Dr. Hand said to the girl that she had better give me a written state- ment of the case, which she did, as follows: “L hereby declare that an operation was per- formed on my person in the month of May, 1890, by Dr. Johnson of New York city, also two by C.W. Harris in the month of June, in Asbury Park, N. J., and that I have suffered from the effects from that time until the lst of August, 1890, when I was relieved by Dr. C. W. Trever- ton of Scanton, Pa. “M. H. P. Ports.” Dr. Treverton admits and justifies his de- mands on Harris for the expenses of the case. Collapse of the Wool Hat Trust. The big wool hat trust formed in New York city two weeks ago by leading wool hat manu- facturers of the country has collapsed. == eee Master Workman Hughes and Gov. Hit), Gov. Pattison heard argument in Harrisburg yesterday afternoon in the extradition case of James Hughes, master workman of the National Trade Assembly No. 231, who is wanted at Ro- chester, N. Y., on the charge of extortion. M. H. Butler and John T. Butler, Knights of Labor, appeared in behalf of Hughes, who was also present. Mr. Butler contended that Gov. Hill would never have issued the requisition it he had known the ircumstances of the case. Gov. Pattison will probably submit the matter to the attorney general before giving any decision. s oor: : A York Banking House Falls, As a sequel to the failure of Michael Schall, the car builder, on Saturday, March 14, the banking firm of Schall & Danner of York, Pa., composed of Michael Schall and James M.
