Dr. David Kennedy' Favorite Remedy is a

diseases in the Kidneys, Bladder and Blood. It hunts
out and drives from the system all the impurities that

Philadelphia, Pec. !4. A decided sen
sation was created In this city by the
announcement of the suspension of the
I'hestnut Street National bank, regard
ed as one of the strongest financial In
stitutions In this city. The suspension
carried with It the closing of the Chest
nut Street Trust and Saving Fund com
pany, doing business under the state
banking laws. William M. Slngerly,
publisher of the Philadelphia Record, Is
president of both companies, and the
same men, with one exception, act all means or distrtnuting news, as a re
otlicers and directors. suit, few people here even appreciate
The first Information the public re-1 the dangers of the lakes and river,
eelved that the banks were In trouble Never a day passes that reports are not
was In the form of a notice posted on brought In of death by drowning or of
the door of the building occupied joint'
ly by the two concerns, signed by Na
tlonal Hank Examiner William M.
llardt, to the effect that the Chestnut
Rtreet National bank had closed Its
doors pending an Investigation of Its af
fnlrs. No statement of assets and lia
bilities Is available, hut It Is stated that
the deposits of the Chestnut Street Na
tional hank amounted to tl. 700,000 and
of the trust company 11,300,000.
President Slngerly has given out a
brief statement, In which he says, "We
are working to secure the Indebtedness
of the two banks so that they can go
Into voluntary liquidation and thus
avoid a receivership."
In this connection Deputy Comptroller
of the Treasury George M. Coffin, who
was sent here from Washington by
Comptroller Eckels, said: "The matter
of putting the Chestnut Street National
bank Into voluntary liquidation has
been taken up by Philadelphia men of
great financial ability. Their first step
will be to ascertain the value of the as
sets of the bank. They must first be
satisfied that they have a value BUfn
clont to warrant them In assuming the
Indebtedness."
Had Been Roma Time- In Trouble,
It was known for some time In bank
ing circles that Mr. Slngerly'c banks
were In trouble, and the national bank
examiner, it Is said, waB aware of the
condition of affairs. It Is understood
that a proposition to float $2,000,000 pre
ferred stock of the Philadelphia Record
had been practically agreed to by a
committee of leading bank officials of
the city, when the discovery was made
that because of the involved condition
of the trust company's finances this
sum would not be within several hun-
dred thousand dollars of the amount
required. Negotiations were, therefore,
WILLIAM M. BINQERLT.
declared off. and the banks were forced
to the wall. Now It Is hoped that the
committee which beiran last night
where the former committee left off
will succeed In satisfactorily adjusting
the finances and thus permit the banks
to pay depositors dollar for dollar. The
net earnings of The Record laBt year
were said to have been 1249,000, more
than Bumclent to pay dividends on a
sum sufficient to pay all of Mr. Singer
ly's Indebtedness to the banks.
The statements of the cause of the
failure current here agree with that
made by Comptroller Eckles at Wash
ington, that It was primarily due to the
loss of much money by Mr. Slngerly In
his unproductive paper mill at Elkton,
Md., one of the largest In the country.
One statement placed the sum thus In
volved at nearly a million of dollars.
Mr. Slngerly also has much money in
vested In other enterprises In this and
other cities. Humors were current to
the effect that the ownership of The
Record would pass from Mr. Slngerly,
but this he denied, stating positively
that he is in absolute control of tha pa
per ana win continue at Its head.
On Monday of this week the Chest
nut Street National bank made the fol
lowing report to the Philadelphia clear
Ing house: Loans and discounts, $2,261,
000: legal reserve. $396,000; deposits. $1.
789.000; due from banks, $335,000; due to
banks, $6N6.000: circulation, $43,000.
The reserve has been below tha legal
requirements for several weeks. Th
deposits on Oct. 6, when the bank re
ported to tha comptroller of the treas
ury, amounted to $2,035,866. Tha shrink
age in this item, therefore, has been
more than $300,000 In a little over two
months. It is said there have been
quiet but steady runs on both banks for
several days past. Of the deposits In
the bank, the city is represented by
$21)9,654, the state by $226,000 and the
national government by a large sum,
hut all of these creditors are believed
to be protected. When the trust com
pany made Its last report to the state
authorities on Nov. 16 the deposits
amounted to $1,42,253.
A great numDer of small accounts
were carried by the trust company, and
apprehension was expressed that soma
distress might follow the failure.
the hopes of a quick settlement are
realized, however; all depositors will ba
paid In full within a short time.

A Lata tatter Prom Dawson City Olres
. Aeeonns off fan? Patalltlos la the
Prosen north Lives Constantly Being
Lost Along th Upper Yukon
Seattle, Wash., Pee. 89. The follow
ing letter from Dawson City, bearing
date of Nov. 23, was brought to this
port by the steamer Alkl:
No pen or tongue can describe the
hardships and dangers to life In this
country even to the hardiest and best
provided for. How many men have lost
their lives by drowning, by accident or
privation will never be known.
There Is no newspaper published on
the Yukon, and there are few other
lives lost In the Ice floes In the river, ot
robberies of caches and of holdups by
highwaymen between Dawson and the
papses.
The latest arrivals from up the river
all tell of different cases of drowning
on the lakes; one or two of these men
report having heard of a dosen deaths
within the past month. Rumors which
cannot be traced to certainty are heard
here of people lost at Lousetown or
Dawson while trying to make a landing
after their Journey from the states.
One case Is reported of six men In one
boat being drawn under the Ice ft few
days ago just as night had set In.
Those who saw the accident could ren
der no assistance.
Ten days ago, In the early morning, a
man was seen floating down the Yukon
In front of Dawson on a large piece of
Ice, while his boat, from which he had
been separated, was a few yards ahead
of him. His cries for help attracted
the attention of two men on shore, but
they made no attempt to rescue him, as
It would be Impossible to reach him In a
boat from shore when the Ice Is flow
ing so heavily.
He floated on down, and It Is hardly
possible that he can have escaped
death from cold or drowning before
reaching Forty Mile, which Is 69 miles
down the river.
Two days later the river closed again,
and two men went from here to Forty
Mile In a canoe. Just as they started
back the ice began to flow thickly, and
they were compelled to desert their
boat and attempt the hazardous Jour
ney overland. This Is a difficult under
taking, for the cliffs along the Yukon
are almost Impassable.
lloats Imprisoned In the lea.
It would have been out of the ques
tion for them to return to Forty Mile,
for It was on the opposite Bide of the
river, which could not then be crossed
again.
They were five days making the Jour
ney of 65 miles, and on the way they
saw Imprisoned In the ice two boats, in
which were three men. It was Impos
sible for them to make a landing, and
the chances are they were lost.
The trails from here out of the passes
promise to be the scenes of mu"h hard
ship from now on among those who, HI
prepared for a long Journey, will at
tempt to make their way out. Nearly
100 men have started up the river to
attempt to reach Juneau without the
aid of dogs, and poorly supplied with
food and robes.
Many have nothing but blankets to
sleep in, and others have no suitable
footgearj . Old timers e,yhat unless
they receive assistance on. the road
some will freeie to death and few will
reach Juneau or be able to return un
less they can purchase food along the
line of travel.
Now the first dog teams are begin
ning to start and many large parties
are preparing to take the trail during
the next few weeks. Many of theBe go
well equipped. All the best dogs are
being picked out and command fancy
prices. Robes which sold last year at
St. Michaels for $3 each are now worth
$300 or more.
At least 300 men will have left Daw
son before Jan. 1. A large portion of
these are men who lately came In and
have left In disgust after selling their
outfits. A number are going out with
the intention of returning In the spring
with supplies, which they believe will
command high prices, and many ara
going out to offer good things to a
confiding public.

ttals Ito to Take Charge of Japan's Af
fairs, Assuring a Strong Government.
tendon, Dec. J9. A dispatch to The
Times from Kobe, Japan, says the dis
solution of the diet has greatly angered
the political parties. It Is probable that
the Marquis Ito, former premier, and
Count Okuma, a former foreign minis
ter, will form a coalition ministry, with
a vigorous foreign policy. The military
party Is eager for action. Extraordi
nary activity prevails at the military
and naval depots, and warships are as
sembling at Nagasaki.
According to a letter which The
Times publishes this morning from a
correspondent at Toklo, a cabinet crisis
occurred In November, due to the re
fusal of the Progressists to vote an In
crease In the land tax, which Is neces
sary owing to the deficits caused by
the late war. Parliament would have
expired next June, and the Progress
ists, with a general election In sight,
did not desire to risk unpopularity by
voting to Increase taxation. Count
Okuma, however, the leader of the Pro
gressists, left the foreign office, says
the correspondent, with an enhanced
reputation and next to Marquis Ito oc
cupies the largest space in the field of
the nation's vision.
The Times, commenting editorially
upon this letter and its dispatches,
says:
"The advent of a cabinet led by two
such statesmen as Marquis Ito and
Count Okuma may be regarded as an
event of great significance by the other
powers."
The Globe says a private telegram
reached London yesterday evening an
nouncing that over 20 Uritlsh warships
have arrived at Port Hamilton, a small
Island south of Korea and not far from
Quelport Island. A special dispatch
from Shanghai also says the British
fleet has anchored at Port Hamilton.
MARQUIS ITO.
This dispatch adds that a report Is cur
rent at Che Foo that the Japanese fleet
has also arrived at Port Hamilton.
The Paris correspondent of The Morn
ing Post says: "Iluspia has long been
negotiating to raise a Chinese loan of
6,000.000 In France to pay the Indem
nity and secure the Japanese evacua
tion of Wei Hal Wei. The negotiations
were broken off owing to France Insist
ing that the Bank of France should is
sue the loan and Russia desiring that
the Russo-Chlnese bank should take the
lead. A certain coolness now exists be
tween France and Russia."
Japan and England Combining.
Shanghai, Dec. 29. It Is reported that
a Japanese fleet of over 20 warships is
waiting near Goto island, outside Na
gasaki, fully equipped for war and only
awaiting Instructions. This Includes
the Yashlma and the Fuji, two of the
finest vessels In the Japanese navy, and
the Chen Yuen, that was captured from
China.
The Japanese fleet, It Is understood, Is
acting In close touch with the British
squadron under Vice Admiral Sir Alex
ander Duller, commander in chief on
the China station. Japan will certain
ly oppose a permanent Russian occu
pation of Port Arthur.
The sudden dissolution of the Japan
ese diet was owing to the war spirit.
It Is expected that the Japanese fleet
will attempt to prevent the landing of
re-enforcements from Odessa for the
protection of the Russian tranBasiatlc
railway In Manchuria.
