Hpr-eial to the RECor.n-Uxios*.
Pink Uidoe, Jan. 10.—Moro nervous
ness is noticeable among the Indiana this
morning than has been noted for a mini- j
ber of days. This is occasioned by a va
riety of circumstances.
Many of tlie Rosebud Indians fear to |
leave this agency lest on their way to the
former place they be killed by the soldiers.
Some of them, however, have already re- |
turned, and mon 1 will follow to-day.
The collection of arms has been any-'
thing but satisfactory, only 164 guns hay- !
ing been surrendered up to date.
Newsof the murder of Few Tails and
four of Ids band also tends to inflame
the Indian-; here. The shooting is uni
versally condemned as a cold-Hooded
murder.
This morning the Indians rounded up j
their (ionics and herded them mar their j
village, while the Indians themselves
bang around tho tepees and silently watch
the agency.
General Miles, who is annoyed at this,
has put off indefinitely the date ofhis de
parture.
Colonel Shatter last night broke up
three gambling dens and destroyed the
furniture.
The commanders of several camps bad
a conference with General Miles at l
o'clock to-day, having been especially I
summoned for the purpose.
This afternoon one or the Indian police
discovered the bodies of four dead In
dians in tiie creek at Wounded Knee.
One was a boy, two were girls, and the
ourth an old squaw. They were evi
dently victims of the Wounded Knee I
b *;le.
.'*. meeting of commanders of the vari
ous detachments of troops was held this ;
afternoon to decide upon certain tactical
movements, and at the same time the
genera] situation was canvassed. The
uneasjness among the Indians in tiie
morning rather died away this afternoon,
and Two Strikes came in with thirty of
his men and delivered up twenty guns,
mostly of obsolete pattern. The uneasi- ,
ness among the Indians to-day was
caused by the news of the killing of Few
Tails and his party, told in yesterday's
dispatches, they being firmly convinced
thai he was massacred without reason.
On account ofthe bad effect on the
young bucks, General Miles has ordered
forage for twenty days longer, and will
himself remain here until everything is
quieted down.
* A band of Cheyennes will start to-mor
'fow if.- the Tongue River^permission
having been received from Washington.
General Miles hopes thai he will ulti
mately be]** rmitted to separate th** hos
i ilc- and send them to the agencies where
they belong.

IN FINANCIAL STRAITS,
AMERICAN NATIONAC BAXK OF
KANSAS CITY SUSPENDED.
Lack of Confidence of Depositors
the Principal Cause of the
Trouble.
Special to the Record-Union.
Kansas City, Jan. 19.—The National
Bank Examiner for Missouri took charge
of the American National Bank of this
Ciiy this morning. The capital stock of
tho bank is sl.i">o,000.
No statement of the liabilities or assets
can be obtained. During the early part
of last week it became known to mem
bers of tho .Kansas City Clearing-house
Association that the bank was in need of
assistance. A meeting of the association
was called and a resolution adopted as-,
Buring the American that upon a proper
showing assistance wonld be rendered to
the amount of $1,000,000.
A committee was appointed to examine
Ibe collaterals, and on Saturday tin v re
ported lhat the paper offered was not such
as the banks Of the association would ac
cept.
This decision made the failure of the
bank inevitable, and the Bank Examiner
assumed charge of the concern.
As a result of tlie failure a great deal of
uneasiness has been created among de
positors in the Kansas City Safe ana Sav
ings Deposit Bank and the other banks,
which are supposed by many to be con
nected with the American National Bank,
f here is a run on the first-named bank,
which is paying all depositors promptly.
and the officials claim they can meet all
obligations.
President Stimson, in a public state
ment says: ''Tiie cause ofthe failure of
'.he American National Bank seems to
have been the indefinite lack of confi
dence which has pervaded the business
world the past few months. A rumor
gained currency three months ago that
the bank was not in tlie best condition.
A withdrawal of deposits followed im
mediately, and with tho growth of the
unfavorable reports increased to an
alarming extent. <>n the Ist of October
the bank's statement showed deposits of
.-■>. 300,000. December i!»tii they bad fallen
off to $2^)00,000, and on Saturday night,
when the Clearing-house Committee
made an investigation, they aggregated
only $1,400,000. The cash 'available at
that time was •vitxi.'HKi. An increase be
gan with the Stringency of the Eastern
money markets, and when the bank
found itself obliged to negotiate a loan of
gßoo,oooin the East It was compelled to
give as collateral gilt-edged securities.
''When these drains upon the hank's re
sources became generally known, confi
dence was impaired. The members of
the clearing-house could not agree upon
any plan of assistance, and the Bank Ex
aminer was notified by President-Stim
son. A clearing-house meeting was lirst
called without our knowledge, and other
banks voluntarily offered us assistance, if
needed. Unfortunately, tbe meeting be
came publicly known, causing increased
rumors which resulted in ;; run on Fri
day and Saturday, and We then applied
to the clearing-house for aid, but they
t'iiied to agree on a plan of assistance,
and we were obliged to close, although,
in my opinion, this ought never to have
occurred, as the bank had always been
solvent. Deposits will )>e paid in full,
and if the assets are properly handled
the stockholders should get back a large
part a* their original investment,"
The liabilities are estimated at $2,250,
--000, and the assets nominally at Ifcl.'jOO.
--000. Other bankers do not anticipate any
bad effects on other houses.

An Cnfoitunato Woman Commits
Suicide.
Sax Francisco, Jan. 19.—Annie Gal
lagher, tiie divorced wife of a fireman,
went to the home of her parents on Ii x Ky
Street, a small avenue near Stabler Street,
between Filbert and Greenwich.
Slie was feeling unhappy and was dis
gusted with the worid. The disgraceful
life she was leading was weighing on her
conscience, and she determined to die
rather than longer sutler. In order to
pass ( |i!jetly ay, ay s!u* had provided her
self with a vial of morphine, which Bhe
had secreted in her dress pocket.
.She was a young woman of abouts2s
years, and the mother of two children,
who are living* with her parents. After
the usual salutations, she became very
despondent, and told her parents she
meant to commit suicide. They tried to
reason with her, but slie would not be
comforted, and found relief in tears.
While sobbing bitterly her little daughter
kissed her and said. ""Mamma, don't cry."
Tlie mother turned, and with tlie re
mark, "That's the. last time you'll call
mo mamma," lied into an adjoining
room.
How soon afterward she took the poison
is not known, but at i o'clock slie was
found in an unconscious condition and
breathing heavily.
Strange to say, it was not until 11
o'clock at night that a physician. Dr.
Finney, was summoned. He found tbe
woman in a very pecarious condition,
and worked on her all night without get
ting any favorable symptoms. In the
seven intervening hours the drug had
ample time to work its way throngh tbe
despondent woman's system. The doctors
did what they could to save ber life, but
without success. Tiie body was taken to
the Morgue to-day.

from the staircase of the hotel, and invito
all Republican members to participate.
Tho call was read, and then a loud call
was made to have the names read. Kep
rescntative Meany started Lo read them,

supporters started up the staircase, tbe
evident purpose being to capture the pa
per. Meany was surrounded by his
friends and a fierce struggle ensued, in
whicli the paper was torn in pieces? The
rival factions struggled on the stairs lor
some minutes, but no one was hurt.
Tho Republicans have signed a call for
a caucus and agreed to abide by its choice.

London, Jan. 19.—The latest blue book
on Portuguese affairs says that after what
has taken place at Lisbon, Lord Salisbury

matters in dispute.
hopes of an amicable understanding.
Paris, Jan. 19. —The Journal dcs Debuts
gives prominence to an interview with a
high Portuguese official on the relations
between Portugal and England. The of
licial expressed himself hopeful that an
amicable understanding would be reached
on all points of dispute. Such an under
standing, he said, would havo a most
salutary effect on the domestic politics of
Portugal. It would put an end to all talk
of an Iberian federation for oft'ensiveand
defensive purposes, and make impossible
a double revolution in Spain and Portu
gal, which enthusiastic Republicans have
been talking of. The Journal attaches
much weight to tho opinion expressed.
and thinks they will probably bo verified
by results.
TREATIES OF COMMERCE.
The Subject Discussed in tho Chamber
of Deputies.
Paris, Jan. 19.—1n the Deputies, Bour
geois proposed the renunciation of all the
existing treaties of commerce, including
those containing the favored nations
clause. He extolled the system of reci
procity as the best means of protection.
Itibot, Minister of Foreign Affairs, did
k not share the views entertained by Bour-
geois. On the contrary, ho would snare
no effort to renew certain treaties, but on
an amended footing. The Government
wished to restoro Franco to complete
freedom of action in the matter of tariff.
Tlie Chamber approved Rihot's course,
by voting by a large majority to pass to
the order of the day.
Ribot, in answering Bourgeois, also
said: "Would you destroy the treaty
with Mexico at the very moment Blame
is trying to get South America into the
zollverein?"

received from Zanzibar a telegraphic
message to the effect that Baron "Wiss

CONGRESSIONAL.
PRESIBKXTAL MESSAGE OX THE
CKOW ISDIAX AGUEEMKST.
The Democrats in the House Re
sort to Obstruction
Tactics.
Special to the Record-Union.
Washington. Jan. 19.—1n the Senate
to-day Gorman argued against the cor
rectness of the ruling made by the Vice-
President on Friday to the effect that a:i
appeal from a decision is not debatable lie
cause the question itself on which the de
cision was made (a motion to lay on the
table) was an undebatable one. Morton
held that the decision was absolutely
right. The discussion kept up some time,
when Gorman withdrew the motion. It
is thought to be something in the nature
of a flank movement against the closure
matter.
Mitchell presented a resolution (which
went over) calling on the Secretary of
War for copies of all recommendations
and statements of Boards of Trade, as to
a site for a gun factory on the Pacific
('oust.
The elections bill was taken up, and
George spoke. He remarked in the
course of his speech that much had been
said about the new Constitution of Mis
sippi, which was less liable to abuse than
those of several other States. He as
serted that the Constitution of Oregon
(adopted in 1!557) contained provisions
prohibiting the immigration of negroes
and practicably outlawing them.
Dolph said the Constitution was framed
whin Oregon was hopelessly under the
lead of Genera! Joe Lane, "it had not
since been amended.
George dwelt on ihe matter at some
length, saying, in response to the ques
tion of Dolph, that these provisions may
not be expressions of the judgment ofthe
people of Oregon of the present day, but
they were their expressions at that time,
and the people of Oregon have not seen
fit to withdraw them.
The Vice-President laid before the Sen
ate a message from the President, trans
mitting the agreement with the Crow
Indians for the sale ofthe western part of
their reservation in Montana.
Hoar moved that the adjournment to
day lie until noon to-morrow., to give
the Senators an opportunity to attend the
funeral of Mr. Bancroft.
George resumed his speech, but yielded
for an executive session, and the Senate
soon adjourned.
IN THE HOUSE.
Washington-, Jan. 19.—The intention
of the Democrats of the Houso to resort
to obstruction tactics until the determina
tion of the Senate on the elections bill
was manifested this morning, when Bland
demanded the reading of Saturday's pro
ceedings, instead of in an abbreviated
form.
'Ihen Milis moved an amendment to
the journal relative to the refusal of tho
Chair to recognize Ids motion to recon
sider the vote by which Friday's journal
was approved.
Cannon inquired whether it was in
order to move the previous question on
the approval of the journal.
The Speaker, after examination of
Mills' motion, recognized Cannon. Then
i•■•me a chorus of Democratic demands
for tho reading of the amendment, which
said the ruling of the Speaker i>i disap
proved by the House.
The Speaker, regarding the amendment
as not proper, recognized Cannon's de
mand. On a standing vote, the demand
wae rejected, but the Republicans gath
ered strength and seconded the demand
yeas 1*1(1. nays i(CJ.
Thereupon Springer took to the floor.
an<l for some time the House was enter
tained by a discussion which went on
between himself and Speaker Heed.
Springer said that never before tbe first
session of ihis Congress had a motion to
reconsider—a privileged motion—been
denied by presiding officers. He offered
to the remarks of the Speaker addresses
made in Xew York State during the last
campaign about overturning precedents
of the last hundred years. The verdict
of tlie American people had condemned
the rules of the Speaker.
Speaker Reed had read several decisions
made by Speaker Randall^ showing that
the latter refused to entertain similar ap
peals.
McKinley took the floor and said no
body could deny that the motion made hv
Mills was purely dilatory, and it was the
duty of the Chair to refuse to entertain
the appeal. It was manifest to the coun
try that for the last six weeks the whole
effort of the Democratic side had been to
obstruct public business. The whole
purpose of filibustering was that it should
be impossible, if the Senate should pass
tin- ili-.ti.ms bill, to pass that bill through
the House.
Flower of Xew York retorted: "We
accept that issue, and stand upon it."
[Democratic applause.]
A iter further discussion the journal was
approved.
The Senate bill for tho relief of Sarah
E. Ferine was passed.
Adjourned.

HIS LAST STATEMENT.
Before going to the scaffold he had tho
following statement prepared:
COUMTT .Uin, ]0:50 A. M.. Jan. 19,1891.—
I acknowledge and deeply repeal before God
and my fellow-men the awful crime that has
brought me to this sad end. Ido not seek to
screen myself in any wise. Yet mv early ig
norance of God's word, my bad 'habits of
liquor-drinking and card-playing, leading me
into all manner of trouble, lei] me into this.
So far was I gone in sin that a lew daws before
my great crime I attempted my own life, but
was hindered by a merciftd Providence. All
these things I would warn voting men to floe.
When I came to this jail mv heart was as
lianl as a flint, but the warning of mv father
to tnake my peace with God-and my brother's
entreaties and the faithful labors of some kind
Christian friends who have visited me in my
trouble, bavc led me to seek God ami hope iii
his mercy through the Lord JesuaChrist I
rely upon the promises of God's word for for
giveness of all my sins, and if such a sinner as
1 have tieen is forgiven I don't think there is
any man on earth but may be forgiven if he
turn to the Lord.
1 am grateful to all my friends for their
kindness to me in these days, and mv last
thoughts are for my children and that my fate
shall be a warning to others.

The crime was most atrocious, delib
erate and cold-blooded
About 9 o'clock on the morning of tho
tragedy he borrowed a double-barreled
shotgun from Z. Wheatbn under the pre
tensethat he was going to hunt ducks.
To others he spoke about going to hunt
robins and asked for ammunition to load
the gun with. Finally he borrowed ten
cents and with that procured ammunition
sufficient for his purpose and then went
to the Heath House, which is located on
Main Street in Los Gatos. Going to tho
kitchen door, Eubanks looked in and saw
his daughter Ida, who was employed as
a waiter there. As she never spoke after
tbe shot, what took place between them
is reported only by Eubanks himself, for
nobody else was in the kitchen at tho
time. He said that he took that opportu
nity of remonstrating with her and trying
to persuade her to do differently norn
whal lie accused her of doing, and when
she refused to be influenced he drew up
his gun and tired. Who fell where sho
stood, backward from her murderer, and
when found was lying on her hack gasp
ing her iast, with arms and feet wide ex
tended and a charge of shot in her heart,

then tried to cut his throat and tailed.
lie pleaded guilty, but withdrew tho plea
and was convicted.

Kansas City, Jan. 19.—An ordinance
