Messago to the Legislaturo Con Bank Affair, LaNcoLN, Neb., Jan. 28 —[Special Tele- gram to Tug Bee.]—Governor Crounse this | afternoon sent a special message to the legis- lature on the Capital National bank failure as affecting state deposits. The message was as follows: To the Honorable, the House of Repre. sentatives of the State of Nebra: 1 deem it my duty to submit for your consid- eration such ets and information as 1 am possessed of concprning the vecent failure of the Capital National bank at Lincoln, which | is a depository for more than §200,000 of | state funds. As Tamadvised, the late state treasurer, J. E. Hill, made a transfer of sthe funds. in his custody to his successor, the present . in- cumbent, on January 14, 1803, These funds included three certificates of deposit from the Capital National bank Lincoln—one for $35,857 .85, beaving date January 6, 180 one for 8150,000, bearing date of January 1898, and one for $100,000, bearing date Janu- ary 6, 1803. The certificates were turned over to Treasurer Bartley as representing $985,357.85 state money. Under the act of April 8, 1801, the state treasurer is required to deposit the amount of money in his hands belonging to the sev- eral current funds in the state treasury, in the state or national banks, or some of them doing business in the id of approved standing, the bank to 1 iterest on such deposit not less than 3 per cent per annum To secure such deposits a bond is required of depositors in double the umount of any de- Pposits, which bond is to be approved by the governor, attorney general and secretary of state. erning the How the Bond Was Signed. In conformity with thislaw, the Capital National bank presented a bond in the sum of §700,000, which would entitle it to an ag- gregato doposit for &00.000. 'This boud, rawn in accordance with' the act referved to, bearing the signature of the bank and that of C. W. Mosher and R. C. Outealt, and approved by the attorney general and secre- | tary of state, was presented to me on the | 14th day of January, 1805, by the secretary of state, for my approval. In order to sutisty myself of the sufficienc of the bond, I inferrogated Mr. Secretary Allen quite fully concerning the financis standing of the bank Mr. Allen expressed no doubt of the absolute solvency of the concern, and I am assured that Treasurer Bartley, after full and care- ful inquiry and examination into its stand ing, had “reached a like conclusion. Still, although not required by the law referred to, or by the form set out in the act, and not. withstanding the approval of the bond by the attorney general and by the secretary of the state, I'decided, as an_additional precau- tion, to exact of Mr. Mosher and Mr. Outcalt an oath as to their individual ability as surcties, and they qualified acc ngly in the amounts of $500,- 000 and §00.000 respectively. After they had complied with this demang I did not foel justitied in further withholding my ap- | proval. : The first intimation I had of the insolvency | of the bank or of its sureties was after the bank had passed into the hands of a United States bank examiuer on the 224 day of Jan- uary, 1505, .

The news from Hawail being a for night old on account of the absence of the cable lines, which Presiden Harrison twice advocated in his message to congress, is not recent enough to form the basis of any imme diate action or to warrant any exact pr diction. 1t is certain, however, that the American commerecial influences at Hawaii have long been antagonistic to British influence, and that annexation has been earnestly desired by those who were opposed to the government of the recent Queen Lili uokalani Iewas not thoug | ment today that the ¢ Hawaii, would be cal | batiery of two S-inch and six 6-inch r her secondary b of G-pound, and 1-pound rapid guns, together with her Hotehkiss revolving cannon, will be formidable cnough to_enable her to protect Amevican interests by her mere presenc with a force of blue jackets on As to An As to the annexation of the Sandwich islands, there is good authority for saying that this is not_likely to be accomplished, in the sense of meaning that the alliance shall become an integral part of the United States under the administration af *President Hareison.
