Kingston, Oct. 3. The Ulster county
savings institution has closed its doors
and is in charge of Bank Superintendent
Preston. The examiners, who have
been at work since Tuesday, have al
ready found that $46:,000 has been
stolen by Treasurer Ostrandor and Mat
thew T. Trumpbour, assistant treasurer.
It is feared the etealings will reach over
that amount. At midnight last night
Superintendent Preston swore to a com
plaiut charging Truiupbour with-perjury
in swearing to false statements contained
in tiie July report of the bank to the
banking" department, and Trumpbour
was arrested as he was just preparing to
flee from the town. Ostrander was ar
rested about two weeks ago for embezz
ling $75,000, and was under bonds of
$20,000.
His bondsmen last night turned him
over to Sheriff Dill, and he was locked in
jail. The system adopted by Ostrander
and Truiupbour was most ingenious, and
for 20 years has baffled the skill of the
expert examiners in the employ of the
state. Carrying it out, deceit and per
jury were frequently and effectually em
ployed.' The statement of the bank
showed their resources to be $2,135,000;
due depositors, $1,888,000; surplus,
$247,000. It is impossible to tell or even
conjecture the effect the closing of the
bank will have on the people of Ulster
county.-., -The majority of the depositors
are poor people. The Ulster county
banking institution was incorporated by
(in act of the legislature of April 12,
1851.
The people had great confidence in the
institution. It is said the number of
bonds mentioned in the statement
of the trustees were hypothe
cated in New York by Ostrander and
Trumpbour. Another method men
tioned was that deposits in many cases
were entered on the bank register for
only a half and a third of the amount
received, while the entries in depositors'
books were for the full amount, the diff
erence being taken by the thieves. The
streets of Kingston are filled with peo
ple, and depositors are ariiving on every
train and by all manner of vehicles.
Occasionally some of the excited farmers
threaten to break into the bank build
ing and get their money, while others
suggest lynching. .
Business is virtually suspended. One
man who had $700 on deposit has devel
oped symptoms of insanity' and it is
feared it will be necessary to take him
to the asylum. The city officials, fear
ing the threats to . burn the jail where
Ostrander and Trumpbour are confined
would be carried iiito execution, sum
moned the tire department, the members
of which are now, watching the bank
building, court house and jail opposite.
The prisoners were arraigned this af
ternoon". It is stated on the street today
that after the affairs are wound up, the
bank will pay depositors 75 cents on the
dollar. 1 ' -

London' Oct. 2. The German artillery
maneuvers, which have been in prog
ress in Juterberk, about twenty miles
south of Berlin, have been attended by
Count Schleffer, chief of the general
staff, and 240 staff officers, three regi
ments of artillery guards and four other
regiments. A fort built on the shooting
range eight years ago was made use of,
and other works were erected for a test
of the guns. A large number of heavy
fortress guns were tried for the first time,
the results being so satisfactory as to
surprise the most experienced artillery
officers. A feature of the occasion was
the use of strong farm horses to draw
cannon about the field instead of the
transport horses used last year, and
which were found too week even for the
lighter guns then employed. The ar
tillery maneuvers are considered by the
kaiser as hardly lesa important than
those of the cavalry, and an elaborate
report of the proceedings is being pre
pared for imperial information.
The proposition to reduce t he term of
full military service to two years has
been received with favor by a portion of
the German press, and is known to be
favorabl3 regarded by the kaiser. The
very vastness and expense of the Ger
man military system, however, makes it
difficult, if not impossible, to effect the
change, which would be a great relief to
the people. Some high military author
ities say that it would impair the mili
tary vigor of the empire, while others
have a contrary opinion.
HATRED OF AMERICANS.
The Victorious Chilians Do Not Like
the American 1'cople.
San Diego, Cal., Oct. 2. The Brit
ish steamer West Indian, from Iquique
and Valparaiso for San Francisco, has
stopped in the . harbor for mail and
provisions. Her captain confirms the.
reports of ill-feeling and abuse of Amer
icans since the defeat of Bahnaceda.
His vessel was at Iquique when the
news of the fall of the dictator was re
ceived, and he says that a terriftic cel
ebration immediately begun. Carous
ing, dancing and all manner of excesses
were indulged in, night and day, for a
week. The feeling against Americans it?
especially bitter and outspoken at Val
paraiso and Iquique, where one of the
first moves made was to oust all Ameri
cans from the social and political clubs.
In Valparaiso the congressionalists
formed a great procession with the Chi
lian flag in the van and the British flag
in the rear, amid cries of "God save the
queen" and "Hnrrali for England."'
England is on top as far as commercial
interests are concerned, says the captain,
and will remain so for a great many
years to eoruebut the trade of the coun
try is greatly overdone just now aud no
one will make any great profit out of it.
IlRtincilheI IeoIorIts on a Visit to

labor. Several of the party will con-,
tinue their tour into California, among

Not Afraid of RuhsIu'k Threat.
London, Oct. 2. Xo importance is at
tached by the British foreign office to
Russia's threat of hostility in Asia, un
less England consents to come to terms
with Russia in Europe. . A .retired offi
cial of the foreign office said to-lay that
substantially the same meiiat-e was held
cut by Emperor Nicholas beiuri tlio
Crimean war to induce England lo. wink
at an onslaught by Eusaiit on . Turkey,
but the British " government refused
either to be coerced or cajoled, and Rus
sia was beaten in the war that followed.
The ex-official said he believed Russia's,
object in making the threat was to clear
the deck for a descent on Constantinople
by way of the Balkans, and with the eo
operation of the Russian Black sea fleet.
