TATLOE, OF SOUTH DAKOTA, A DEFAGLTEE. V Is Alleged That More Than $350,000 Is Missing?The State Is PraflHcullr RankruDt?The Treas urer Loaned the State Money and Could Not Get It Back. Probably the most startling failure that ias ever occurred In the Northwest, was rspealed when William Walter Taylor, the outgoing State Treasurer and President of the Pirst National Bank and Northwestern Mortgage Trust Company, of Redfleld, South Dakota, sent word from New York that he would not appear to make his >ettlement at Pierre with h;a successor, Treasurer-eldct Phillips, of Dead wool Both Taylor and his financial institutions were regarded as firm and reliable beyorid ques:ion. No money is held either at Bedfleld or in Pierre to the credit of t&e State Treasurer, and it is estimated that about $350,000 is missing with Taylor. There was a quiet run on the bank by parties who had their suspicions aroused, and the bank officials decided to ciose the banlc subject to examination. Cashier Humphrey declares that depositors will be paid in full, as there is an excess of fully $60,000 In good paper, besides about forty per cent, deposited in other banks. The worst blow falls upon Taylor and his bondsmen, many of them leading business men of Redfleld. Taylor was last seen In Chicago, and thence went to New York. In his letter from New York he snys : "I 3 ?? fliof T txrlll Tint am compeuea to juiwclu ^vu .. ? retain to Redfleld or P.erre. I have counted oa friends assisting me in making up my settlement with tbe State, and felt that it would be done until the last few days. I ha7e no exoase to offer for my condition, although I balieve I have many." It has been known for some timethat Treasurer Taylor was tard pressed. He was caught in the Chemical National Bank failure or Chicago for a large amount, and lost $2'',000 in the bank at Milbank, and 610,000 in tnat at Gettysburg, which failed during a panic. Altogether he lost $100,000. Taylor has always had a high reputation as a financier and a man of integrity. The school fund may lose $50,000. The whole State is torn up over the defalcation. State officers are paralyzed, and no one knows either the amount taken or the method used. It is utterly impossible to tell anything about the amount. There are no records to show whoie the money is deposited. Taylor should have had on band $316,000. He had set aside $190,000 to pay warrants which ??om Hnn In Vav Vnpk. < Three weeks ago Taylor went to New York, and It is understood that he has been trying to raise money to cover the shortage. Hla lather 1a very wealthy and his connections are so Influential that it Is a surprise that lie could not tlx natters up. Mr. Taylor. Sr., is in Pierre, as is ex-Governor Mellett, who was the chlel bondsman. Other bondsmen are Speaker Howard and Bob MoOoy. of Aberdeen. The total bond was 9350.000. If it is a large defalcation, as the bondsmen appear to believe, it will place the State in a very embarrassing position. The llndt of indebtedness has been passed largely. Ho paper or bonds can be sold, and there is a deficiency In revenue. It is now Impossible to make both ends meet. "WOBK OB BREAD I" A Mob of Starving Newfoundlanders Calls on a Warship Commander. A mob of the unemployed, carrying a banner Inscribed "Work or bread!" paraded the streets of St. John's, Newfoundland, then called on toe captain 01 me unuou nuDmp Tourmaline to know if he would Are on them II they broke open the stores and took food. The Tourmaline la housed for th j winter In the upper part of the harbor. The crowd filled the pier By a coincidence about one hundred fully armed marines and seamen out for exercise returned to the ship, marching through the assemblage and quickly repressing any idea of forcible entry of stores. There wnre between three and four thousand, and hunger was written in the faces of all. The captain of tnn Tourmaline, Sir Bichard Poo re, demanded to know what the crowd wanted, and directed that representatives be sent aboard to statetheir grievances. Three delegates were sent to the ship and stated their Case. The bank failures occurred four weeks ago, and nearly every large employer of labor suspended the same day. Nearly every man In the crowd had been idle all tif.it time. Their families are starving, they have no coal or provisions, diphtheria, scarlatina and kindred diseases are making their ao Eearanoe among their children," and they | ave no ohance of obtaining employment before spring. They pointed to the stores and warehouses filled with food and demanded why they should starve when food was to be had. Captain Poore promised that he would see no man starve, although he would allow no rioting. He counselled them to be patient twenty-four hours more. He would write to the Government and alfio to the Governor. Bread Riots at fit. John's. The crowd of unemployed worklngmen who paraded the streets of 8t. John"s, New Foundland, and later visited the captain of the warship Tourmaline and made a statement to him as to their condition demanding work or bread, resumed their demonstration next day. The crowd, largely increased in numbers, met before the legislative building and hooted the ex-Premier, 8ir William Whlteway, who was formerly their idol. After hooting to their hearts oontent the crowd marched ngaln to the dook where the Tourmaline is lying, in order to receive the captain's answer to their petition. Captain Sir Riohard Poole, the commander of the warship, reooived a deputation and told them that the matter was in the hands of the Governor. Then the march was taken up to the residence of the Governor, who told those who waited upon him that the Government officers were the proper persons to reply to the demands formulated Dy the worklngmen. The orowd became deeply exasperated when they learned of the Governor's reply, and the leaders' suggestion that the Ministers be seen was quickly acted upon. Proceeding to the Chamber, the crowd found that their coming had been anticipated, for they found the doors barred against them. Nothing daunted in their determination, the crowd set to work to force an entrance, and doors and windows were soon battered in and ingress was gained. The police at. tempted to oheck the crowd in their work of destruction, but the officers fared badly in the souffles that followed, and the rioters were for tho time being masters of the situation. Hoping to pacify them, Prime Minister Greene appeared And addressed them. When they were told that it was impossible to accede to this demand the leaders of the crowd held a short conference an l it was decided to attack the stores on Water street, which wera qulokly looted of their provisions. Ac this point armed police intervened and the mob was driven back at the point ot the bayonet. Four men?Bussey, ^ a? A trUrt nrAiYirtfflfl Af urowil. uoauy auu v? the riot?were arrested.

The correspondence Includes a cony of a uonvention concluded on the 20th of November last, by which it Is declared that the Mosquito Indians agree wholly to submit to the laws and authorities of Nicaragua.

Mr. Hill's First Visit to the Whit* House in Two Years?Greeted Cordially by Both Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland as He Enters the ManhIar nn<iA?n o r? JTl v A ? a AI l>lUU"|/QVUi aViUuo au\? vk voowo President Cleveland's annaal dinner to bis Cabinet will long be remembered as the most famous of the , state dinners he has given. Senator Hill was inoluded among the guests, end as a result, says a Washington ipeclol to the New York Herald, Washington is agog. What does it all mean? is the question society people and politicians are wklng on all sides. When the Pxeeldent (book bands with Senator Hill in the East Room on his arrival it was the first time these two distinguished men had met since that memorable interview on March 8, 1893. The President gave Senator Hill a hearty greeting, and there was nothing in the manner of either to lndloate that they had ever been enemies. Mrs. Cleveland also resolved the Senator very graciously, and ohatted with him pleasantly while waiting for some of the tardy guests. Immediately after greeting the Senator the President gave orders to have the Marine Band play "Love's Old, 8weet Song." s After all of the guests had arrived the' gentlemen were assigned-to the ladies they were to escort to the dining room. Mrs.t Cleveland requested Senator Hull to escort ' Mrs, Hearst, widow of the California Senator. The dinner was a particularly happy one. As usual with state dinners, there were no loasu^ tiiiu iug wuvvimuvu tiw v& a general charaoter. ! The President seemed In the best of splr, (ts. The band played a well chosen programme, and at times conversation oeased in order that An especially fine piece of music 1 might be heard. Senator Hill had Mrs. , Hearst at his right and Mrs. William Carlisle at his left. At the close of the meal the gentlemen retired to the smoking room, and afterward joined the ladies In the East Boom. Senator Bill and Seoretary Lamont had a friendly chat in the Bed Corridor prior to the breaking up of the party. The band played "Dixie" as a special mark of respect to the Secretary of State, whose favorite it happens to be. While the other guests at the dinner went to the White House In carriages, Senator Hill walked over from the Normandie, and after the dinner walked back to his hotel again. The correspondent met him in the hotel lobby, and his face was wreathed with (miles, as it his recolloctions of the dinner , were of the most ^pleasant charaoter. He was in the best of spirits, but would not discuss the dinner further than to remark that he had had a very enjoyable evening. To * * ?? questions aa iu wum icu up iv >w sad as to its political significance, he replied that as the affair was purely sooial It would not be proper for him to discuss It. 7 Bepresentative Tracey. of Albany, was one of the guests at the Cabinet dinner. He sat at the end of the table, to the President's left Senator Hill sat not far away, opposite the President General Tracey does not think that any political importance is to be attached to the presenoe of Senator Hill at the dinner. It is true it Is the first time since March 8, 1893, that he has been in the White House, and it is also true that,though Invited to a Whitd House dinner last year, he did not attend, but it was really a formal dinner to whioh the President invited the senior Senator from New York. It was not an invitation from Mr. Cleveland to Mr. Hill. From this fact General Tracey does not see why any one should attach political Significance to Senator Hill's presence. It does not, he thinks, affect either the personal or political relations between the two men. There were forty-six covers laid upon the T-shaped tables In the state dining-room. The decorations were of the slipper orchid, arranged in an oblong plat, with ferns down the entire length of the main pare ot the board, while eaoh of the traverse sections . contained one large and two small circular plats of the same flower. The candles. In sold candelabra, burned under yellow shades, and on the mantles yellow honey* suckles fringed the bonks of white camelias and hyacinths. The walls of the room were almost hidden with tall palms, rabber plants and oleanders brightened by the scarlet poinsetta blossom. At each lady's place a bunch of the slipper orchid was tied with narrow yellow ribbon, and the men wore a single blossom. As is usual on state occasions, the circle of glasses was missing from Mrs. Cleveland's place, the single water glajs being in marked contrast to the other plaoes. Mrs. Cleveland appeared in one of her last year's gowns, which Is most becoming. It is made of yellow satin, the sir face of which is brocaded with gay flowers with theii leaves, the draped skirt failing at one side over a knee-flounce of rare old laoe. The sleeves were huge affairs of yellow velvet. * 1-1?? Hlomnnrtu nnH n & JltJCbJUCO V i guiucuiv spreading diamond ornament was worn oo the white brow.
