Doai.
CrxctvxATt, Jane 22. It to stated that
fnk Examiner Powell on Monday af
ternoon demanded a statement from Fi
delity National bank, and received one
thowins a balance on hand of $1460,000
eh. When he called for a view of this
ftoaey lie was amaaed at being shown a
pencil memorandum reading, Wil
h. Eckert & Co.. $503,000, tc
JhrooEh the long lift there was no eol
ml, no security whatever, and the of-
ficers were unable to make any explana
tion. Vice-president Harper concealed
from the directors his connection with
the wheat deal. It is said that he admit
ted yesterday that he did not go into
wheat himself, but thai he honored over
draft for Wilshire for $48,000 and then
put u merest to save that, lie charges
the whole break to the action of the Chi
cago board of trade making all wheat reg
ular. Previous to the exposure Harper
stated repeatedly that he did net know
that he was in the wheat deaL and that
a a a F
ne ata not Deiieve it was managed at an
in Cincinnati, but conducted from Cali
fornia and Cleveland.
As the examination proceeds the cav
ernous deficit increases. It is now com
mon talk that the liabilities will reach
the stupendous sum of $6,000,000, while
the assets dwindle in proportion. It
seems a foregone conclusion that -depositors
will receive next to nothing. This is
me general talk, but unofficial, and can
not be verified until the bank examiner
makes bis report. It is stated to-dav
that the memorandum which is substi
tute for collaterals, shows that Wilahire
uses 1 1,100 ,000 of the bank's money and
collaterals for other loans which were
hypothecated in New York and else
where. It is the belief of some that
Wilshire acted as agent for Harper in
conducting wheat deala and is not really
a Dorrower. There Is talk of more arrests,

Jubilee Notes.
Loxdox, Jane 21. The first day of the
fifty-first year of the reign of Queen Vic
toria opened with perfect summer weather.
Thousands oi people who yesterday se
lected locations along the route of to-day's
procession, in order to retain them occu
pied them all night. A steady stream of
carriages and pedestrians poured con
stantly all night through the city in all
directions towards West End. At 9
o'clock the line of the route was a com
pact mass of people. Everybody, despite
the discomfort of crowding, manifested
the utmost good humor. The scene at
Westminster Abbey was most brilliant.
Every seat was filled and every person
age present was a distinguished person
age. It seemed as if every locality the
world over had sent one or more repre
sentative personages to do honors to Eng
land's queen. There was never probably
in modern times assembled under one
roof an audience so well and so brilliant
ly arranged. Every man present entitled
to wear a uniform or decorations had
both on. When this audience was all
seated the scene presented was incom
parable. When the Marquis of Salisbury and
Gladstone entered Westminster Abbey
they were both loudly cheered.
Many lords and ladies were so anxious
to secure their positions that they came
without breakfasting. It was a strange
sight to see flasks and sandwiches ex
changed in such a crowd and eagerly
used by nomberless aristocrats'wnable to
withstand hunger or thirst. This busi
ness, when added to the ham, at times
seemed irreverent even on Jubilee day in
Westminster.
The line of procession from 'Backing
ham palace to Westminster Abbey was
as follows: From the palace portals
along Constitution hill, Hccadilly and
Regent street, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall,
East Cockspurt, Northumberland avenue,
Thames embankment and Bridge street
to the abbey. The line of route wj
kept by nearly 10,000 trooie, representing
all the branches of the service, in ad
dition to GOO boys from naval training
ships who were drawn up at the base of
the Nelson monument.
In addition to the military many thou
sands of police, both mounted and on
foot, were on duty. A particular feature
at the palace was that the two services
were equally honored, the Guards lining
one side of the roadway at Buckingham
palace gates and on the other side the
Blue Jackets were posted. Hie same
services were also represented in like
manner at the entrance to Westminster
Abbey.
The fipt royal procession was com
posed of Indian princes. Punctually at
11:15 a. m. the queen in an open car
riage emerged from the palace gates.
At sight of her thousands of voices were
lifted up in cheer snd applause, being ac
companied by the music of many railita
rv bands stationed in front of the palace.
The queen did not wear her state robes,
but was dressed in black. Her carriage
was drawn by eight ponies.
The prince of Wales, duke of Win
burgh and duke of Connaught, her sons,
Ue crown prince imperial of Germany,
marquis of Lorne, Prince Christian of
Schleswig-Holstein, and Prince Henry of
Battenberg, her sons-in-law and Pnnce
Albert Victor, and George of Wales,
lricce William of Prussia, her grandsons,
were arrayed in full uniform beside the
queen's coach as body guard.
When the people at the palace gates
had shouted themselves hoarse cheering
they continued to cry out, "long life to
the prince and princess of Wales." The
qoeeo, as she left the palace, seemed to
be in excellent spirits, and she smiled
and bowed graciously to the people on
every side. The queen's carriage was a
large one, of chocolate color ; the wheels
were red and the royal arms in cold were
emblazoned upon its panels. Red Mo
rocco harness was used for the horses,
which were otherwise decorated with
royal blue ribbon. All the servants were
in state liveries of scarlet and gold.
Other carriages containing members of
the royal family were of gorgeous char
acter." The procession slowly made its way un
til Wellington arch was reached and
then the first introduction to London
streets ensued. Emerging from Welling
ton arch the first to greet the queen were
the convalescent patients and others at
St. George's hospital, which was packed
from basement to roof, seats havng been
erected for many thousands over the
roof of the hospital.
