IS STILL A MYSTERY
No Unlit On Failure of the Vancouver
Hank The Body of President
Hrown Was Laid at Rest Yesterday.
Vancouvku, Wash., April L'2. There
were no new developments today eon
cuniititf the ftiiluro of the First Niitional
Hank, mill the sensational double suicide
that occurred in connection therewith.
J'.unk Examiner Maxwell, who is acting
us temporary receiver, has as yet nothing
to give out in connection with thefuilure
and the cause of it is still shrouded in
niyHlury.
The bodies of the dead preBidunt and
cashier wore removed to their respective
houses last night after dark. The grief
of the families of tlie deceased oflicialB is
pitiful in the extreme. While enough
of the condition of the bank has leaked
out to satisfy the depositors that the
wrecking of the bank was deliberately
planned and systematically carried out,
still no suspician attaches that the fami
lies of the deceased oflicers knew any
thing concerning it, and the double
Hliock of the startling disclosures attend
ing the failure, and the subsequent an
nouncement of the remarkable suicide
full with crushing force upon them.
Ilrown's wife and daughter, the latter
being Mrs. Harriet Hrown Carpenter,
were both ill at the time. S. W. Hrown,
the aged fathor of the deceased president
of the bank, is suid to be in a dying
condition as u result of tiie terrible hap
pening. Ho is 82 years of age.
It is now certain that neither oflicial
went home after leaving the bank Fri
day evening. It is also practically
proven that the fatal shots, which ended
the lives of both, were fired Friday even
ing about 7 :!i0 o'clock. No man has yet
been found who saw either man after
they left the bank at G o'clock, one hour
and u half before they ure supposed to
have killed themselves.
It was given out today by members of
the Hrown family, that Hrown also left
a dying message to las wife, which was
found on bis person. It was scribbled
a leaf of a email memorandum book.
This book is iu the possession of the fam
ily, and could not be seen.
The committee of prominent citizens
who requosted Levi Ankeny, the Walla
Walla banker, to reorganize the wrecked
bank, are as yet unable to report results.
Mr. Ankeny is favorable to the project,
but can do nothing until the investiga
tions of the controller of the currency
reach that stage that he can make a
statement of the bank's condition.
Sneftk Over Itorder.
Nkw Yokk, April 22. A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Assistant
Secrotary of the Treasury Taylor will ap
appoint in a few days an immigration
inspector and assign hint to the special
duty of making an investigation of the
fraudulent admission of immigrants into
the United States.
Steamship lines at New York have
found recently that their steamers have
brought comparatively few immigrants
to the United States, and inquiry devel
oped that persons desirous of avoiding
inspection went to Canada and then tried
10 enter the states over the border. New
York has received many of this class.
Mexico has again served as a base for
11 ... i. . ....
me entrance oi uninese into tins conn
try. A report received at the treasury
department shows that 2000 Chinamen
were taken to Mexico and emyloped on
the Mexican Central railroad. Fifteen
hundred of these men quickly crossed
the border, Bnd all except I!00, who were
arrested and deported, are now under
the American flag. Investigation of the
situation on the Mexican border is in
progress.

Vane of ToUtol.
Sr. Pkteusiiuro, April 8. A letter
from Countess Sophia Tolstoi to Mon
signore Antoni, Metropolitan of St.
Petersburg, and the Metropolitan's
answer, are published in the official
Ecclesiastical Messenger. After declar
ing her unalterable determination to die
in the orthodox church, the countess
castigates Monsignore Antoni and the
Holy Synod for the secret circular to the
clergy forbidding the Count Tolstoi's
burial with the rites of the church. The
expression, "spiritual hangman," sea
sons the countess' charge that the ser
vants of (he church have rejected the law
of love for world power and pride. She
concludes by anticipating a hypocritical
refutation of her position.
The Metropolitan's.answer not illogic
ally contends that Count Tolstoi first
disassociated himself from the orthodox
faith and that the Holy Synod merely
took note of his heterodoxy. Monsignore
Atiioni says:
"You are receiving expressions of sym
pathy from the whole world, but I do
not believe that thev will comfort vou.
There is a human and a divine glory."

Driving Out Natives.
New Youk, April 22. American and
Dutch traders are reported to be driving
English salesmen out of the great met
ropolitan meat market at Bmithfield,
says the London correspondent of the
Tribune. It is said that the Bum of .1(3,
000 was paid recently by American
traders to acquire a stall in the Central
Avenue, and that another American firm
paid 12,500 for an inferior position.
This matter is receiving a good deal of
attention now, and the home secretary
will be questioned on the subject in the
house of commons.
"Last winter I was confined to my bed
with a very bad cold on the lungs. Noth
iug gave me relief. Finally my wife
bought a bottle of One Minute Cough
Cure that affected a speedy cure. I can
not speak too highly of that excellent
remedy." Mr. T. K. Houseman, Mana
