Capttal National Bank of Lin- coln, Neb. Omama, Nun., Jan. 28.—It is reported from Lincoln this morning that the stockholders of the Capital National Bank are holding a meet- ing and will attempt to reopen the bank in ten days. Lrxcorx, Nxs., Jan 23.—The Capital National Bank of Lincoln has failed, and the state treasurer is caught for about $250,000. The announcement was made shortly ‘after 11 o'clock last night. The appearance of National Bank Examiner J. H. Gritith of Waho, who came in on the evening train, was responsible for the closing of the bank. which came a few hours after that official began his investigation of the books and papers of the institution. ‘tis stated that the failure is a bad one, but the exact sitnation cannot be ascertained up to this time. The deposits amount to about $625,000. and of this amount between $175,000 and £250,000 are state fonds, for which the bond of the treasurer will be liable. The capital stock of $350,000 is all paid up. Outcalt stated that the assets would protect the depositors, but there is great doubt expressed as to the correctness of this statement, CAPT. HILL'S Goop LUCK. Capt. J. E. Hill, ex-state treasurer, in discus- sing the sitaation could not refrain from ex- pressing a feeling of relief that he bad been lucky enough to turn bis Mice over to his suc- sessor before thecrash came. In this connection it was stated that the bond given by Treasurer Bartley was for $3,100,000, which was $600,000 mote than required by law. His bond includes nearly all the banks in Lincoln, two at Fremont and the Globe Loan and Trust Company of Omaha, None of the big Omaha banks are included, although they were on the bond of the treasurer. Mesers. Drake and Batch were here a few days ago, at the time the office was turned over, and were anxious at the time to get from under. The bank skipped a dividend last time, which was the first occurrence of the kind in its history. The last statement showed €340,000 charged to the account of profit and loss. Some time Failare of the T.| ago the bank examiner required the bank to turn a large amount of gas bonds into moae: and also compelled the assignment of the pent. tentiary contract. It is stated that the contract was a losing in- vestment, but other information is to the effect that it had always been claimed to be good property. Well-known bankers of Lincoln have known for some time that the Capital } was in bad shape, but none of alarmed for the reason that they have believed all along that Mosher would be able to assist the bank from own funds if the worst came. ‘The; ‘© that Mosher and Outealt THE BANK'S HISTORY. ‘The Capital National Bank was constructed from the ruins of the old Marsh Harvester Bank of this city, which died from pure ex- Laustion about eight years ago. Mosher was the nephew of C. W. Marsh and was connected with the Marsh Bank, and became a sponsor for the rejuvenated institution, which was given the name of the Capital National Bank. The directors of the broken bank are C. W. Mosher, C. E. Yates, H J. Walsh, Henry Guerner and H. O. Phillips. ‘The officers are ©. W. Mosher, president; J. Walsh, vice presi- dent, and K. C. Outealt, eashier. A meeting of the bankers of this city was held at the Lincoln last evening to discuss the situa- tion. It was feared that the trouble would pre- cipitate a run on seme of the other banks this morning, and one of the first things done was to make arrangements to prevent it. The Omaha banks were called on and they immediately re- sponded by sending a representative on a spe- cial engine to assure bankers here that every courtesy would be extended, and that all needed assistance to meet any run that might take place would be forthcomii Secretary of State Allen stated last night that the special bond given by the Capital Na- tional Bank was approved by ex-Gov.

Bartrwone, Jan. 23.—During the past week fears have been expressed of safety of British steamship Gardapee, which sailed from Bremen on December 28 for Sparrow's Point, bearing a part of the world’s fair exhibit from the great Krupp gun works at Essen, Germany. This morning the vessel was reported coming up the bay. She signaled “all well” when she passed in the capes.

Clubs Were Used Freely to Subdue the Denver Mob. Dexves, Cor., Jan. 23.—The crusade against the Sunday night amusements in this city cul- mipated last night in the arrest of the managers and performers in all the theaters in the city, as described in the night dispatches. ee arrests had been eo a mob of about le gathered, snd after a few in- cendiary speeches moved to the howe of Dean Hart, who had inspired the arrests. Here they proceeded to demolish the windows and doors of the parsonage, and oniy quit when every win- dow light in the house was: broken. The dean had barely time to escaj Had the crowd managed to lay hands on him there is no telling what might have happened. The escape of the minister only served to anger the mob. “Into the yard,” someone shouted. The mob moved against a fence and its gate gave way like so much paper. A murmur was followed bya yell, and a shower of stones was sent through the windows. The porches were mounted and in a few mo- ments® riot was in pi ‘The clang of gongs sounded, and patrol wagons from the st and second division stations rushed through the crowds. * Men were knocked down by the horses, and then the police, clubs in hand, beat the mob back and drove the people out of the hallway, and after a sharp but desperate struggle forced the angry mep back. Five bundr ns were in the crowd, and they determined to make another onslanght. Lieut. Clay and thirty policemen stood their ground. They fought the infuriated men with their clubs, but were forced back to the porch and finally’ to the hallway. Then, as a last resort, revolvers ‘were Grawn. ‘The clang of gongs was heard again and the wagons hurried Sway for reinforcements, Many werg injured in the - Black eyes were numerous and blood from the pounding and scratching flowed freely. When the wagon drove up women fainted and the excitement was intense. How setiqusly the members of the mob were injured cannot be stated, for the police could not make an arrest and the wounded were taken care of by friends. Reinforcements soon ar- rived and the mob was forced back. Not since the Chinese riot of 1880, in which four men were killed, has there been such ex- citement in the city. ‘THE LAW TO BE CHANGED. ‘The excitement has subsided. The theatrical managers say they will open up their places of amusement as usual next Sunday night. A bill of a personal liberty nature will be introduced im the legislature today as applicable to these Sunday troubles and will probably pass. ——— TWO SENATORS TO BE CHOSEN. ‘The United States Senate Will Have to Settle the Kansas Dispute.

This was the starting point of the expedition on ite task of exploration. The route pursued from the coast, the letter stated, had been along the banks of the Tana, which Mr. Chanler describes as a beautiful stream. The journey had been uneventful and without fatigue.

Mrs. D’Heirry Was Carried Away by Her Musical Passion. Searrie, Wasn., Jan. 23.—The D'Heirry elopement is a modified version of Tolstoi’s “Kreutzer Sonata.” D'Heirry came to Seattle four years ago to practice law. He prospered and built a residence on Enton hill which cost 25,000. He had the best private flower garden in the city, containing 300 varie- ties of flowers.

She joined 8 musical society and participated in the con- certs. Within the last six months she came to care nothing for her husband. Two years past Morse had been giving Mrs. D'Herrry music lessons, and she recently ex- Pissted s desire, to go to Europe to complete er musical education.

Morse, the music teacher, with whom she eloped, living in a small room over a small festanrant at 16th street and 3d avenue, will leave the city for his home today. Those who know the present whereabouts of Mrs. D'Heirry will not reveal it. Nor will Mr. D'Heirry tell whether or not he and his wife have agreed to become reconciled. Mr. D'Heirry speaks in the kingliest torms, however, of his wife, and declares that he never entertained the thought of proceeding against her for divorce. He blames Morse for the con- duct of Mrs. D'Heirry almost entirely, and says the man must have exercised some kind of a spell over her. Tt was learned that Mrs. D'Heirry will prob- ably remain in this city for the present, and that her husband will probably come back after her later when the unpleasant comment caused by tho publication of the scandal has died away. rs.

Loxpox, Jan. 23—The Egyptian situation is assuming a gravity which for the present time overwhelms in the public mind all other issues, mcluding even Irish home rule. Lord Roseberry has received tele- graph advices from Lord Cromer to the effect that the khedive had intimated his intention to refer to the Turkish sultan and to the treaty owers the action of England in causing the Siemissal of the Fekbiri cabinet. = Other advices from Cairo state that the jatives are in a more excited condition than at any time since the outbreak under the leader- ship of Arabi Pascha. While a consid- crablo party of the moderate and intelligent natives support the British position, the multi- tude take sides with khedive and against what they call infidel dictation. CABINET COUNCIL CALLED. Mr. Glndstone caused a cabinet council go bo called today to consider the Egyptian crisis. The Marquis of Ripon, secretary for the colonies, left a bed of sickness to be present’ at the cabinet meeting. The council sat for two hours. While the cabinet -| was in session a stream of tel ms continued to pour in to the foreign office from Cairo. Theso were immediately transmitted to the cabinet. When the cabinet adjourned it was to reassemble at 4 o'clock p.m. The prolonged session of the cabinet is un- derstood to be due to a difference of opinion as to the necessity of reinforcing the British army of occupation in Egypt. both with a view to protecting British interests at Cairo and to protecting the frontier against the dervishes, who have recently become very menacing.

THE ANTI-OPTIONS BILL. A Vote on the Measure to Be Taken Nexr Tuesday. SENATE. THE AQUEDUCT BEIDOR. Mr. George W. King of Georgetown has hit ‘upon a plan for the use of the Aqueduct bridge for railroad purposes which he belisves will them | bf poses: | in any way the free use of the bridge for trians or vehicles. He asks the Senate District committee to consider this plan. | ‘THE OPENING OF CALIFORNIA AVENUE. 1 Senator Voorhees today introdfced a bill authorizing the Commissioners to open | California avenue to a width of ninety fect from Massachusetts avenue extended to $24 Street northwest and W street with width of sixty feet from S2d street to | 85th. It is provided that the land for the extension be deeded in fee simple to the District, except that portion of it which passes through block 7 in Belair Heights, and for this the Commissioners are empowered to condemn. The appropriation for this work is left blank for the committee on the District, to whom the Dill was referred, to fill in at their own figures. The bill was accompanied by a petition signed | Certificates of election of Senators Cockrell Qifo.) and Davis (Minn.) for their new terms, from March 4, 1898, were presented and placed on file. Also the certificate of presidential | electors for the state of Louisiana. House bill to provide for lowering the height of a proposed bridge across the Ohio river be- tween Cincinnati and Covington by the Rapid ‘Transit Bridge Company was taken from the calendar and paseed. : THE ANTI-OPTION BILL. The Senate then (at 12:0) by unanimous consent proceeded to the consideration of the anti-option bill, the question being on the amendment offered by Mr. Vilas (Wis.) to the George substitute. Mr. George (Miss) proceeded - with the argument which he had partly made last Saturday. He commenced by saying that he was informed that Mr. Washburn expected to ask the Senate to continue in session today until the vote was fe had also heard from vari r great anxiety that the matter be finally disposed of. In view of those facts he Proposed to occupy only a few minutes in addressing the Senate this morning. He went on to argue against the objections made by Mr. Gray (Del.) last Satarday and to quote authori- ities in support of bis own view. M rge spoke for exactly for one hour, and when he took his seat a proposition was made by Mr. Washburn (Minn.) to have the vote taken on Thursday next. This was objected to by Mr. White (La), who said that the Senators from New York and Delaware (Hill and Gray) de- sired to address the Senate and wore not pres- ent today, and he suggested Tuesday of next week as the time for taking the vote. After gome colloquy Mr. Washburn consent to Mr. White's tion, and the arrangement was finally made that at 1 o'clock on Tuesday of next week the vote shall be. taken on the George substi- fate and not Inter than 2 o'clock on the bill iteelf. Mr. Chandler (N. H.) expressed himself as Prepared to vote for the George substitute. He should prefer to have dealings in futures and options prohibited by the direct method pro- posed in the substitute rather than by high taxation, as in the bill, although he believed that either method was constitutional. The anti-option bill was laid aside at the con- clusion of Mr. Chandler's speech and the Cher- okee outlet bill was taken up. HOUSE. The House, in continuation of Saturday's session, met at 11 o'clock this morning. This had the effect to continue the special order under which the quarantine bill is being con- sidered, and the House immediately proceeded, in committee of the whole, to farther discus- sion of that measure. On motion of Mr. Warner (N.Y.)anamendment was adopted extending the provisions éf the bill to immigration and importation across land boundaries as well as across sea boundaries. The object of this amendment, as explained by ‘Mr. Warner, is to protect the Canadian and Mexican frontiers. Mr. Mallory (Fia.) offered an amendment providing that nothing in this act shall be con- strued to authorize the Secretary of the Treas- ury to prohibit or the President to restrain or prevent the passage from one state to another of persons not immigrants and not engaged in commerce. Mr. Mallory said that the object of the amendment was to bring the bill within the Constitution. For instance, if New York was an infected port persons living in Jersey City who were employed in New York could not, if the Treasury Department so desired, return’ to their homes after their daily labor. Thie was an infringement of personal right. He was in favor of restricting the power of the depart- mentto immigrants and to persons employed in commerce. Mr. Patterson (Tenn.) spoke in support of the proposition, basing his argument on con- stitutional grounds. There was no necessity, e contended, to restsict the locomotion of a citizen from one state to another, and it was no part of the power of Congress ‘in regulating commerce to make euch a restriction. Mr. Milliken (Me.), in opposing the amend- ment, laid down the proposition that no person had the right to go from one state to another and carry a nuisance or—worse than a nuis- ance—an infection with him. ; THE AMENDMENT Lost. Mr. O'Neill ( Pa.) had hoped that the Dill would pass in the shape in which it had been reported by the committee on com- merce and he expressed his surprise that the opposition to it should come from Louisiana, Florida and New York. He believed it to be unnecessary to adopt the nding amgrdment Congress should do its Fan duty an passa law for the protection of the country from “dread disease. The amend- ment wax lost—33-61. Mr, Brosius (Pa.) offered an amendment roviding that all quarantine regulations ex- isting by authority of state law or municipal ordinance at any place where the* federal government shall establish quarantine regn- lations shall be of no effect so far as they may be in conflict with this act. His sincere conviction, he said, was that this should be as neara national bill as = could make it. The defense of the people of the United States against plague and_pesti- lence was as much a duty as their defense against an invading army or nav: "The amendment was lost—yeas, 55; nays, 75. The bill was reported to the House from the committee of the whole and is now involved in a parliamentary tangle which becomes more complicated and involved the more its loosen- ing is attempted. ‘Mr. Cummings (N. Y.) moved to strike out the marine hospital service section of the bill. He had received a Jetter from a member of the national board of health (who did not wish his nathe used) which would show “the nigger in the wood In this letter it was stated that the chief pro- were officers and employes of the marine hos- pital servce; and it was suggested that the act of June 2, 1879, “‘to prevent the introduction of contagious diseases into the United States,” be substituted for it. Mr. Cummings then withdrew his motion. The House is now voting on « m: amendment ‘forbidding national in with state quarantines, ‘Mr, Covert (N.Y.) offered anamendment that i i 4 | [ f f 4 5 made ith | ten Bishop Brown of the A. M. E. Church a by citizens of Georgetown praying for the im- provement. ‘The petition states that the citi- | | Zens of Georgetown ere cut off from all ap- | | proach to Rock creek and zoological park, and | ask that this street be opened so that ‘they may have an easy method of reaching these | places, which were intended for the use of all | the citizens of the District. A map also accom- | panied the bill, showing the proposed exten- | sion, and an estimate trom Mr. Looker, who surveyed the ground, in which he states that ¢ believes that the improvement, including « bridge over Rock creek, can be made for $55,000. PLANS OF THE BALTIMORE AND omTo, Vice President King of the Baltimore and Ohio raitroad, J. K. Cowen, general counsel of the road; the engineer of that company and | George E. Hamilton, the local attorney, | presented to Senator McMillan this morn- | ing the latest plans of that rond to come in | to the city on their elevated tracks. The plans are almost cutirely the same as’ those originally presented, which were printed in Tae STAR at that time. The only change of importance is that instead of joining their tracks Just above the Deaf and Dumb Asylum it is propped in the present plans for the road to come in on their tracks as now laid except that they are to be elevated toa spot on Dela-| Fare avenue inside of Florida avenue and then join, It was suggested that the plans be amended { n one or two particulars and that the commit- tee would then discnss them. The gentlemen representing the B. and O. road agreed to this proposition and the plans were taken back to timore. It is expected that ther will be ready for action by the Senate District com- mittee in about two weeks. THE NORFOLK AND WESTERN. At 8 o'clock this afternoon « subcommittee composed of Senators McMillan, Faulkner ahd Gibson gave a hearing on the Norfolk and Western railroad bill. TO EXTEND THE SUBURBAN RAILROAD. Mr. Richardson introduced a bill in the House today to extend the route of the District of Columbia Suburban railway from its in- tersection with the Bladensburg old turn- ike and M street eastwardly on street to the Eastern branch, across » bridge to be erected, and along M street ex- tended to the Benning track, thence to Dean- wood and Brentwood, It is provided that whenever a permanent system of streets is adopted the road shall con- form ite route thereto. Steam motors on the route are prohibited by the bill. CAPITOL TOPICS. COAST DEFENSES.
