Squire Company (corporation), of Cambridge, for $3,000,000, which was announced late yesterday afternoon, the Broadway national bank here, in which the Squires were largely inter ested, did not open its doors today, and a notice at the entrance stated that the affairs of the bank were in the hands of the comptroller of the currency. The news circulated widely and all sorts of wild rumors were set afloat. The bank was incorporated in 1S53. Its last statement, a week ago, showed a capital of $200,000, loans $1,995,000, cir culation $45,000, individual deposits $2, 543,000, due banks $131,000, due from reserve agents $274,000, due from banks $168,000, expenses in clearing house $273,000, legal tenders $158,000, specie $113,000.

An Effort by the Republicans to Show Discord Amontr the Democrats on the Free Silver Question Their Scheme Acts as a Boomerang Gag Law, and Not Democratic Apathy, the Reason for Silence of the Free Silver Men. Some Lively Tilts. Washington, December 16. The six days' debate upon the currency bill closed in a sensational manner. The republican leaders had evidently set a trap for the minority to show that dis cord existed on the money question, and it was timed so to make the scene as dramatic as possible. Just at the close of the debate today, three of the heavy weights General Grosvenor, of Ohio; Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Dolliver, of Iowa, were put forward to call the attention of the country to the fact that in the long debate very little had been heard about free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 from the minority side of the house, and that not one had offered an amendment containing such a proposition. Mr. Grosvenor said it was one of the signs of the coming regeneration of the dem ocratic party. Mr. Richardson, the minority leader, indignantly denied any intention of abandoning silver and called attention to the fact that under the special or der under which the house was operat ing neither a substitute nor a motion to recommit was in order. Then Mr. Dalzell challenged a mem ber of the opposition to offer a free coinage amendment. In response half the democratic membership rose and demanded the privilege, but here and there was an eastern democrat shout ing his disapproval. There were cries of "bluff!" from the democratic side, but the republicans, after the parlia mentary obstacles had been removed, through Mr. Grosvenor, who was in charge of the bill, asked unanimous consent for an amendment to the rule to permit the amendment to be offer ed. Then Mr. Driggs and Mr. Levy, two New York democrats, blocked the game with objections. TIo amendments were offered to the bin today and only one section of the bill was read. The whole time was occupied in five minute speeches. The incidents of the day were a sensational speech by Mr. Lentz, democrat, of Ohio, denouncing the prosecution of the war in the Phil ippines, and charging an. alliance with Great Britain and the United States to subvert liberty one in South Afri ca and one in the Orient and an at tack upon the memory of ex'-President Hayes by Mr. Clark, democrat, of Mis souri. Mr. Brown, an Ohio republican, warmly defended the memory of Mr. Hayes. The vote on the currency bill will be taken immediately after the read ing of the journal on Monday. Mr. Overstreet, in charge of it, says it will have thirty-five majority. He says eight democrats will vote for it, and seven will not vote either 'way. The debate was enlivened by a bout between Mr. Brown, republican, of Ohio, and Mr. Clark, democrat, of Mis souri, over the latter's references to the late President Hayes. Mr. Brown paid a glowing tribute to the memory of Mr. Hayes. In reply Mr. Clark declared that Mr. Hayes was a "counterfeit president," for whom he had a supreme contempt, even though he was dead. "He stole the presidency," said he, savagely, "the greatest crime in the tide of times. I wish he could have lived for ever and borne the scorn of decent men to the end of the world. His sep- ulcher should bear the words: 'This man was guilty of the monumental crime against human liberty.' " "Now," concluded Mr. Clark, as he retired to his seat, "if they can make anything of that let them make it." Mr. Clark s words were received in silence on both sides of the house. Mr. Lentz, democrat, of Ohio, charg ed that the pending bill had been pre- . 3 1 a. x. r AAA . pareu oy me d,wu national oanks, a secret combination that wielded more influence than the Masonic fraternity, the Odd Fellows and the Red Men combined. The bill was intended to increase the power of the national banks. All the rest that was in it was already in the law. As he proceed ed, Mr. Lentz's remarks became sensa tional. "We are n favor of re-nominating William Jennings Bryan," said he, "and we will put in a plank against trusts; we will put in a plank against Imperialism, and we will put in a plank against the British alliance, an alliance that is now open and apparent. (Ap plause on the democratic side). They are shooting down liberty In South Af rica while you are shooting it down in the Philippine islands. (Applause on the democratic side.) That is evidence sufficient that both governments are operating upon parallel lines. The first blossom of liberty in the Orient to be cut off by the republican party or the United States, the first sub stantial struggle for liberty In Africa to be mowed down in Its infancy by the queen of England, with the czar asking for a peace conference! If things are not inside out, how can the republican party stand impotent and silent while England is shooting to death a republic in South Africa and while under the military and imperial istic powers that patronage had de livered to the president here, the crime of crimes is being committed under the Stars and Stripes of the union. The president at Madison, Wis., said: 'One small fraction of one small tribe re sists our authority in the orient.' Ay! my friends, with an army there and on the way, of 75,000 men, to subdue one small fraction of one small tribe, an army larger than Sherman needed to march to the sea, an army larger than Grant needed to take Vicksburg, is now j called into requisition and kept there ! for nearly a year to subdue one small fraction of one small tribe! Is that the source of your prosperity? Is your Egan pension of $7oIR30 for being re duced, degraded and dishonored? Is your beef trust, that murdered 4,800 men while the Spaniards only killed 350; is that the source of .your prosper ity? (Applause on the democratic side). Is your humiliation and subor dination of the man who won the most magnificent naval victory that the world has seen, Winfield Scott Schley; (Applause on the democratic side); is that the source of your prosperity? Is your subordination of Brooke and Miles and Merritt, the men who had been trained, together with their as sociates, at an expense of millions of dollars to this country, and the putting of politicians in the army saddle; is that the cause of your prosperity? (Ap plause on the democratic side). You will live to be ashamed of your record." The scenes attending the close of the debate were exciting- and dramatic. When Mr. Dearmonc concluded, but twenty minutes remained before the debate was to close under the rule. Mr. Richardson, the minority leader, pro tested against what he assumed to be the purpose of the republicans to take that time to close the debate. He de manded the regular order. Thereupon Mr. Grosvenor, republican, of Ohio, got the floor for five minutes, which he occupied in taunting the demo crats for their evident desire to aban don free silver at 16 to 1. During the six days' debate, he said, the house had heard no arguments for free sil ver ana ne humorously hailed it as a sign of the coming regeneration of the party. In conclusion, he said that out Of the debate had come the settled conviction on both sides of the house that the enactment of the pending measure would put into law the policy which had governed and guided the country for nearly thirty years. Mr. Richardson indignantly denied Mr. Grosvenor's assertion of the pro posed abandonment of the issue of free silver. He said that if the gentle man from Ohio had followed the de bate he must have heard some strong speeches in favor of free silver. He called attention to the fact that but one section of the hill had been read and charged that the special order which did not permit the offering of a sub stitute or a motion to recommit, had been framed for the especial purpose of preventing the offering of a free sil ver substitute. The house adjourned until Monday. Belligerent Rights to the Boers. Washington, December 16. Repre sentative Sulzer, of New York, has in troduced a joint resolution declaring that a state of war exists in South Africa and according belligerent rights to the Transvaal government. It closes with the following paragraph: "The congress of the United States protest and remonstrate against the barbarous manner in which the war has 'been conducted by Great Britain, and the president is hereby authorized to take such steps as may be expedi ent, in his judgment, to secure an ob servance of the laws of war recognized by all civilized nations, and bring about an honorable peace. To Erect Sugar Mill at Tampa. Tampa, Fla., December 16. Plans have been perfected for the erection in this city of a big sugar mill and refin ery. It is the intention of the men be hind the enterprise to make Tampa not only the market for the sugar cane of Florida, but to bring the crude ar ticle from Cuba and refine it here. They have been carefully investigating the matter for months past and are satisfied that the undertaking will jus tify the expenditure entailed. No Opposition to Consolidation.

Modder River, Friday, December 15. During a demonstration in force this morning, the British guns shelled the Boers for a couple of hours. The Boers did not reply until the British were re tiring. The Boers are further en trenching and strengthening their old defenses with the evident intention of fiercely disputing control of the rail road. The Ninth brigade, under Colonel Pole-Carew, the Grenadier Guards and a squadron of the Twelfth, made a re connaissance this morning, supported by the Seventy-fifth battery Howitz ers on the center and right, four naval 12-pounders on the left. A 4.7 nav;.l gun on the right opened fire at 5:30 o'clock. While the brigade deployed across the plain the Howitzers and the naval gun shelled the Boer trenches and searched the ridges. The Boers unmasked two guns, one of which was dismantled by the naval gun and the second being impossible to touch. No one was killed. GERMANS JUBILANT. Berlin, December 16. The German press and people are jubilant over the news from South Africa, and every where in the streets people stop -each other and offer congratulations. Among the press comments tonight is that of The Kreuz Zeitung, which says: "Thus the fighting power of the third column is destroyed and th campaign against the Boers is disas rously ended. What, however, means more is that England's decadence, long apparent to far-sighted statesmen, has thus become visible before the whole world." The Vossische Zeitung says: "The English yesterday met the greatest de feat In this campaign, so productive of disappointments and losses." THE IMPRESSION AT ROME. Rome, December 16.

Today Mr. Pierce re ceived a note from Mr. Hay, declaring that the department of state could not take any action in the premises According to the authorities cited by the secretary of state, in case of war belligerents have the right to purchase any kind of goods in a neutral coun try, subject to confiscation after ship ment. As the Boers have no navy and no port of entry, the ruling is decidedly advantageous to the British "Last Monday I received a letter from Dr. Hendrick Muller, envoy ex traordinary of the Orange Free State at The Hague," said Mr. Pierce, "call ing my attention to the shipment by a cartridge company of Bridgeport, Conn., of 5,000,000 cartridges to South Africa. He also stated that this com pany had received other large orders from the British government. I at once transmitted Dr. Midler's letter , to Washington and today received the re ply. Secretary Hay closes his letter thus: " 'An examination of- Wharton's di gest of international law says Section 381 will make it clear that the execu tive departments of this government from the earliest period have maintain ed the correctness of the doctrine stat ed by Chancellor Kent, and that, in this position, they have been support ed by the decisions of the courts of the United States and by the opinions of eminent authorities on international law.

There is now being investigated at Dobson, the county seat of Surry county.

About the middle of November a Mrs. Sarah Wallace came to Dobson and reported that she had on the night previous shot and killed Sol Simpson. Simpson is a man who had served a term in the penitentiary for stealing whiskey and was considered a general nuisance.
