Closing of Two New York Banks the Cause of Excitement. New York, Jan. 3d.���flank examiners took active charge today of the affairs of the New Amsterdam National Bank and the Mechanics and Traders' Bank, a state institution, both of which closed their doors yesterday. Both of these banks were Included in the Morse- Heinze-Thomas chain of banks aud after the closing of the National Bank of Norih America a few .lays ago, there had been what practically amounted to runs ujion tliem. As a result of the closing of the banks several other smaller institutions met heavy withdrawals of deposits this morning. One of these was the Oriental bank where quite a ruu of depositors were paid promptly anal President Hush Kolley announced that 12 other Institutions had come to the aid of the bank and that he hoped to be able to withstand the strain. It is not anticipated that the closing of the Amsterdam and Merchants aud Traders banks will have any effect on the geueial banking situation in this city as both of them have been going through a gradual liquidation for the last lew months in which their debits nnd credits have been gradually reduced. State Superintendent of Hanks Williams said today that the general condition of the banking Institutions In this city ls good, and that weakness has developed only In special cases. Depositors thronged the offices of the Oriental bank during the forenoon. The banking rooms are comparatively small, and before one o'clock the line before the teller's window could no longer be accommodated within doors, but. extend' ed out and around tho corner to John street. It was stated that friends of President HukIi Kelly of the Oriental bank have subscribed about fl.OUU.OOO to meet the run on that Institution and that he will be able to secure further assistance if needed from interests not connected with the clearing house. At the Canal street branch of the Oriental bank about one hundred depositors made withdrawals today, and this seemed to satisfy the demand at the branch for thereafter there were as many waiting to make deposits as to withdraw.

MIKKELSEN WILL TRY AGAIN. Danish Artie Explorer en Route for Victoria for Fresh Start. Victoria, Jan. 30.���Capt Eijnar Mik- kelsen, who headed the Anglo-American expedition which started from here May 21, 1906, to seek to discover land believed to exist in tne Beaufort sea, left Cape Nome a week ago for Victoria, according to a special cable received from tbe northern mining camp. Capt- Mik- kelsen will go over the Ice up the Yukon and Tanana river to Fairbanks, and thence out by way of Valdea. He expects to fit out another expedition as soon as possible, to continue his explorations in the Polar sea. Capt. Mikkelsen was formerly in the Danish navy, but his expedition to the north is backed by British and American capitalists. He sailed from Victoria May 21st, 1906, in the schooner Duchess of Bedford, named for a titled Englishman who contributed to the enterprise. The purpose of the trip was not to discover the pole, but to establish the truth of the theory held by Capt. Mikkelsen and other scientits that there exists in the Artie regions an enormous archipelago as yet unexplored, lying north and west of Beaufort sea. In February, 1907, his vessel was caught in the Ice near Herachel Island. Accompanied by Ernest Leffingwell, of the University of Chicago, the chief scientist of the expedition, and Stoker- son, mate of the vessel, Mikkelsen started north over the thin ice to continue his expedition on foot. He was turned back by open water. Augustl he started north again, taking with him a combination boat and sledge, with provisions for. ninety days. On this dash he reached the latitude of 72.20. Returning to Herschel Island, Capt. Mikkelsen made his way alone to Nome. The Duchess of Bedford was long ago crushed In the Ice and sunk. The re* malnder of the party has scattered, some returning to the states and some remaining In the north. Purity Workers Confer.

His contributions to debate are of course contemptible and would never be recorded but for thi' exigencies of provincial party politics. The Liberal party iu itriiish Columbia is as unfortunate in Its press support as in Its representatives In parliament and legislature. They arc all utterly, slavishly partisan and their zeal Is not in any one case Illumined by the least knowledge of Canadian institutions anal issues. It is sad, but uot surprising that the disgusting eruptions of such as Duncan Ross should Io Ihem seem as well worth recording as the gravest pronouncements of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The grave pronouncements of sir Wilfrid Laurier are usually frothy and of little worth but they arc the froth of one who has lo some extent attained to the point of view of a gentleman. Duncan Ross Is iJuncan Ross und will never be anything better. As a contribution lo a debate on a serious Subject Duncan Ross' speech was beneath contempt. The speaker of tbe bouse no doubt expressed the fa cling of the house when he regretted thut he could not rule Duncan Ross and Bob McPherson out of order and sorrowfully remarked that the only restraint was their taste. Their taste! In passing it is proper to specifically exempt Bob McPherson from the same condemnation as Duncan Hoss. Duncan ltoss is not an Imbecile, he is a conscious deliberate offender against the decencies of public life. Poor Hob ls in a different category. Never since tlie Toronto Globe, spanked Willie Mclnnes lias any member of ilie Canadian parliament heen so rebuked by a responsible and authoritative voice in their party as our members by tlie speaker's reference to taste. H is humiliating in the extreme that our countrymen of the eastern provinces should have to judge of liritish Col- umblans hy tlie example of such as Willie -Mclunas. Duncan Hoss and Bob McPherson. Bin the chief blame in the present case dues not attach to Duncan Ross and Hob McPherson. The leader of the bouse aaf commons, as Sir Wilfrid Laurier admitted when It suited ills purpose ta, suppress inquiry into the lives of Sir Fred. Borden and 11. K. Emmerson, is Uie guardian uf its honor aud dignity. It was his duty tu stop the disgraceful exhibition of his menials. But it was left to Mr. Fuster to assert the dignity of parliament, and without the pre. mler's authority tin* speaker could only convey a rebuke, which was entirely with.nit effect on the siianielessness of Duncan Hoss or the helpless ignorance of Boh McPherson. By his silence Sir Wilfrid Laurier is guilty of complicity in the most disgraceful and disgusting performance that has disgraced the record ot the bouse of commons lor many years. house listened. His dictum, if he be correctly reported, that the Lieutenant- governor i.s "no more under the control of Ottawa as a dominion official than the judges whom the dominion appointed" is valuable only as an indication of Mr. Miieilonald's ignorance of Canadian constitutional law. When the Dominion anal province clash over the Immigration hill as is almost Inevitable, it will he amusing to remember that the bill received Mr. Macdonald's unreserved support.

Land Registry Office, Nelson, B. C, January 17th, 1908. "H. F. Ma< I-ROli." District Registrar, TIMBER NOTICES, EDITORIAL COMMENT. Our contemporary's Impartial report uf tin- proceedings of the provincial le_- iMuiure credits J. A. Macdonald Willi a "splendid, masterly, statesmanlike" Speech ou the Immigration ilill introduced by Attorney-Gent-ral Ilowser. Every one who knows Mr. Macdonald will immediately discount all three adjectives. Mr. Macdonald is an industrious, conscientious and pains-taking legal practitioner. He Is as incapable of a masterly speech on uny subject as ho is of a statesmanlike view. The only part of the incident that calls for praise is the polite patience with which the Nelson Land District. District o( West Koo'enay lake notice that James FI-htht, of Russian*!, B.

Chief of Police T. H. Long of Rossland was in the city last night returning home this morning. His visit was an attempt to trace certain issuers of worthless cheques who have victimized Rossland merchants. The attempt was unsuccessful, not on account of any fault of Chief Long's but on account of the amazing stupidity of business men who cash cheques for men they don't know and then give the latter time to travel a thousand miles before they discover that the paper is worthless and another thousand before they nolify the laolice.
