A CRISIS RAPIDLY APPROACHING

Bald to Be the Work of
General Cabeaas.
Hw Yobk, May 21. The World eays :
Private letters received here tell of re
newed political disturbances in Vene
zuela, with prospects of another revolu
tion. The plan of general amnesty,
which was intended to draw back to the
country all of its noted exiles, has proved
a failure. ":;
"From New York there went General
Praza, General Monagas, General Her
nandez, General Sarria, General Puildo
and several others. . General Guzman
Blanco, the greatest of Venezuelan rev
olutionists, refused to be drawn from his
retreat in Paris, although the new gov
ernment offered to him every inducement.
By the laBt steamer General Monagas
returned, to New York and General
Praza, who was formerly minister to
Washington, will go next week. Nearly
all the returned exiles will leave the
country again.
Business in leading cities is poor. In
politics there is chaos which is rapidly
reaching a crisis. - -
President Crespo is reported to be get
ting ready to form a new cabinet.
A Frlrate Enterprise.
New Yobk, May 21. A special to the
World . from Colon says : Referring to
the recent work of fortifying Bluefields
on the Mosquito coast,' and the mount-
ting of Krupp guns, a former government
officer says:
"It is the work of General Cabezas,
who regards Blaefielda as bis private
property, and declares he will hold it
against all comers, President Zelaya,
included." -
Minuter Haxletou Resigns.
"Nbw Yobk, May 21. A local paper
says:
The resignation of Seneca Hazleton,
United States minister to Venezuela, is
in the hands of the secretary of state.
His resignation was offered last Friday,
but there seems to have been ' some
reason for a great deal of secrecy abou)
Mr. Hazleton's resignation..
Kx-President of Honduras. .
New York, May 21. On the Atlas line
steamer Ailea, which arrived this morn
ing from Port Limon, was General D.
Vasquez, ex-president of Honduras.
itmlnr Carson in Charge.
Washington, May 21. Controller
Eckels today received a telegram stating
the Merchants' National bank, of Seattle,
Wash., had suspended. Examiner Car
ion was put in charge. The bank's cap
ital was 1200,000, and at the last report
bad assets amounting to $680,000 and a
surplus of $25,000. It is understood one
of the causes of the bank's failure was
too great holding of real estate and secur
ities upon which it did not realize. -
The VVhllk; Trait.
Chicago, May 21. The reorganization
committee ot the whisky trust today
took action which will probably end the
receivership within a short time. Reso
lutions were adopted providing for the
ale of trust properties, either by the
courts or by the board of directors.
Millionaire's Wife Forfeits a Bond.
Chicago, May 21. A capias was is
sued this afternoon for Mrs. Warren
Springer, the wife of a Chicago million
aire. Several months ago, Mrs. Sprin
' ger was Indicted for an alleged attempt
to bribe a juror in a property-condemnation
suit in which her husband was
interested. ' When the case was called
for trial today, the defendant was not in
court. The capias was issued, and a
bond of $5,000, signed by her husband,
was declared forfeited. It is said Mrs.
Springer is visiting friends somewhere
in Ohio.' . ' . .
Seattle Bank Falls.
Seattle, May 2i. The first failure of
a national bank in this city occured this
morning, when the Merchants' National
bank closed its , doors and it was an
nounced that it would not reopen.
The bank was incorporated July 21,
1890. with a capital stock of $300,000. In
explaining its failure, Angus Mcintosh,
the president, said this morning: "This
misfortune is the inevitable result of the
hard times and the inability of the peo
ple to respond to the calls made upon
them. Oar board of directors met this
morning and decided, in view of the
position of things, not to open today and
to have the cashier notify the controller
of the action taken. We can do nothing
until the examiner comes in. The plan
of consolidation , fell , through and this
bank will simply liquidate. The bank
will pay all its obligations and I do not
think that this . will absorb any of the
capital stock. Our aim will be to call
upop . our stockholders and not to go
through the hands of a receiver. The
stockholders will be able to recoup them
selves from the assets as fast as they are
able to realize on them and they will be
quite sufficient to make the stockholders
whole again. I cannot give you. an ex
act statement of the affairs of the bank
until the examiner gets here, but I can
say generally that there are no really
bad assets, the only difficulty being that
they are slow to realize on."
- Are Too Vine For Worship.
San Fbancisco, May 21. "The pas
tor of a large American church is more
like the manager of a business concern
than a preacner of the Gospel," said Bev.
Eugene Dupuy is the pastor of the
French Reform church, and he was tell
ing the difference between the churches
of this country and those in France.
"In this country," he said, "it is the
business of the minister to draw crowds,
yet he is so hedged in by the financiers
of his congregation that on some ques
tions he is not free to express an opinion.
His position . is not altogether comfor
table. He dances on eggs between the
choir and the organist ; be perspires be
cause of the lack of harmony and turn
ing up noses of the various societies of
the church; he is in a measure sup
pressed, walled in, and in this tied-up
condition he must fight the devil. The
churches are too comfortable, too rich,
too fine for worship ;' and one trouble of
it all is the pastors are being secularized
There is too much grand choir, stained'
glass windows and lavishness. People
don't give the attention to the service
that they should ; the cushions are too
soft. I say fill them with peach stones
and keep the congregation awake. Let
us have stiff, straight-backed pews if it
will make the community -more Godly,
Let the pastors fight for this even though
they lose the most substantial financier
in their congregations."

Senator Bill Pleaaed.
; Albany, N. Y., May 21. Senator Hill
was pleased at the decision in the in
come tax matters and took no pains to
conceal that pleasure. In relation to its
general effects Senator Hill said :
"The supreme court of the United
States is entitled to the thanks of the
country tor its decision against a law
which sanctioned unequal taxation, and
against an enactment which was clam
ored for only by populist, cranks and
demagogues. That court has vindicated
its wisdom and entrenched itself in the
confidence of the people. Public senti
ment was right in demanding that the
Whole law be set aside.
