PASO ROBLES, March 11.—The Bank of Paso Robles, a private institution, closed its doors to-day on account of the collapse of the County Bank of San Luls Obispo. The Bank of Paso Robles is the oldest bank in this city, having been in existence since the founding of the town—twelve years ago. It was con- sidered perfectly solvent. The stress of hard times made it difficult for any of the banks to carry much available cash, but they were all considered in a condition to weather the storm. The County Bank at San Luis Obispo, which closed its doors yesterday afternoon, is reported to have made heavy drafts on the Bank of Paso Robles. When the San Luis Obispo concern closed doors Cashier F. D. Frost of the Bank of Paso Robles and President H. Ep- pinger Jr. hurried to San Luis Obispo, | but they were unable to stem the tide. On their return this morning they closed the doors of the Bank of Paso Rnhlesi and posted a notice that they had sus- | iness, but would pay dollar | It is understood the assets | amply sufficlent, if they can be re- ed upon.

Very well, his sentence will be his recompense.” The remark is in M. Deroulede‘s most lofty vein, but it might be interesting to hear what M. Habert thinks about the matter. Both prisoners have a busy week, having been interrogate almost every day. It is expected the inqui is drawing near its close, and that Maitre Pasques will send in his re- port within the next fortnight. As to President Loubet, he seems to be winning friends rapidly. His simple tastes are beginning to find admirers. One of the papers that was among the very first to depreciate him after his oction reported the other day that an strious forelgner after a visit to the aid: T like M.

Speclal Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., March 11.—Reports have reached Singapore giving details of the outbreak of a horrible plague, which has carrled off hundreds of natives and almost depopulated villages near Samar- |kand. The Singapore Straits Times, | copies of which were received by the | steamer Victoria, which arrived this even- | ing from Oriental ports, publishes an ex-| traordinary tale of the horror. The paper | gives an interview with a Russian prince | who lately arrived there from the calam- fty-stricken district. It says: The scene of the outbreak of the plague | | was Anzof, a village about 14000 feet| | above the sea level on a mountain plateau | and so walled in by encircling heights that travelers can enter only by crawling | over perilous ledges of rock. The popu- lation of the village before the dread dis- ease struck it was 600. More than half of these are now dead. There were 381 cases of plague and all saving three proved fa- tal. A party of Russian doctors, hearing of | the outbreak, arted to the plague- stricken district. The medical party was headed by Dr. Lieven, who is well knu“‘n‘ throughout the Straits Settlements and | who carried a supply of Hoffkine's pro- The work done by the doctors zof was remarkable. After some on they managed to get the sur- g villagers to consent to inoculation, and the result howed a signal triumph for the Hoffk treatment. No fresh cases occurred and the last death came four days after the arrival of Dr. Lieven and his confreres. It is believed that the plague was brought to Anzof by a religious devotee who had been on a long pilgrimage. He I B SO RO arrived at the village on a donkey, carry- ing clothes which he said were brought | from the tombs of the saints. It is known | that he had been in Thibet, and, it is| thought, in Afghanistan also. He gave some of the clothes to an old woman. The unfortunate woman smitten with the plague, which afterward carried off so many others, and died. Her nurse also died and seven of her relatives. The devotee told the populace the woman’s body was not buried in orthodox fashion and it was exhumed. Everybody vho took part in the disinterment per- ished and the diseass n spread rapidly.

The Baptist ministers have taken similar action. The announce- ment of the day of prayer will be made to-morrow from many pulpits. The people will be asked to humble themselves in the sight of God and ask why he has withheld rain from the thirsting fields of Southern Cal- ifornia—why drought exists in the spiritual world. Some ministers ex- press the belief that the cause of the drought is the rebelliousness of the people. Others think God does not visit his children with his wrath; that the dry weather is but the result of natural causes. Whatever the opinion entertained by the different ministers, many agree it will do the people no harm to devote one day to prayer, to placing themselves in line with the -will of God. Among the appropriate texts for sermons are the following: Mr. Haryett—“Confession, the Prayer of the True Penitent.” . Mr. Brooks—“Why no Rain?” Mr. Smithers—“Our Daily Bread.” Mr. Lamb—"Greatness in Prayer.” Mr. Hendry—“Gold Mine on His Own Farm.” Runkel— ‘Whence May We Buy Bread?” Bresee—"Finding and Eating the Word of the Lord.” CROLION D % £188 O ROBOBORONOR DLOHORO LR R N RO e A He has seen only his physicl night of his familv as nurses and mem WALKER- TO HEAD THE CANAL COMMISSI HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE AT DAWSON Several Business Places Destroyed. an entirely new crease the membershi ragua Canal Commissi members, leaving Admiral Walker head of the body. p of Special Dispatch to The Call.
