Palouse Bank Opens. PALOUSE, Wash., June 8,-The First National, which closed Tuesday morning, will open for business tomorrow at noon. The bank was in first-class condition when closed, but did not have the ready cash to meet the run caused by news of the failure of the Band of Spokane Falls. The stockholders and nearly all the large depositors had the utmost confidence in the bank, and did not worry in the least, Plenty of money has been secured by Cashier Cross to more than meet all the claims of depositors which can be presented. The fact that the bank could secure aid in the present crisis demonstrates the high position it holds in financial circles, A large meeting of depositors was held today at which the most implicit confidecce in the management and reliability of the bank was expressed. There is no further danger of a panic, All three Palouse banks are solid. Cashier Cross has announced that the bank will open for business tomorrow.

Delaware, District of Columbia, Idabo, Indian Territory, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania. Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. It is further worthy of note that no National banks have failed in Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati. St. Louis, New-Orleans, San Francisco, Minneapolis, St. Pan! and numbers of other great commercial centres: and that but one has closed in New-York, two in Chicago. and one In Milwankee. The cause of the failures in NewYork and Chicago was due largely to mismanagement, as were numbers of others. Local scares have caused many of late to suspend. Nine of the banks failed were robbed by officials who are now under arrest. The following National banks have been authorIzed by the Controller of the Currency to resume business: Gate City National Bank, Atlanta, Ga.: First National Bank. Los Angeles, Cal.: First National Bank, San Diego, Cal.: First National Bank, Santa Ana, Cal.: First National Bank, San Bernardino, Cal.: Southern California National Bank, Los Angeles, Cal.: Merchants' National Bank. Fort Worth, Tex.: Second National Bank, Ashland, Ky.: Capital National Bank, Indianapolis.: First National Bank, Palouse City, Wash.: Washington National Bank, Spokane Falls, Wash.: National Bank of Commerce. Provo City, Utab: First National Bank. Cisco, Texas: Missouri National Bank, Kansas City, Mo. Many more will reopen, as the majority of those recently failed are absolutely solvent, and only closed through an unwarranted lack of confidence in them, causing disastrous runs. Resume: Number now in operation, 3,785: number failed since January 1, 1893. 105; number reopened, 14: number In hands of receivers, 33: number In hands of Bank Examiners, with application to Controller for resumption, 58.

# WHY BANKS SUSPEND. Comptroller Eckels Reads the Riot Act to Alarmists. Comptroller Eckels takes the exception to the recent dispatches which have appeared in the newspapers saying that 200 national banks have failed since January 1, and is out today in a statement showing that but 105 have gone into the hands of the comptroller. Fourteen of these banks have already resumed business, two of them being the First National bank of Palouse, and the Washington National bank of Spokane. In 20 states and territories there have been no national bank failures, Idaho being one of these. The statement also shows by states and territories the number of banks now in operation and the number which have suspended, there being 3,885 which are still doing business. In Oregon there are 38 in operation, with two suspensions. He also calls attention to the fact that no national banks have failed in Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati, St. Louis, New Orleans, San Francisco, St. Paul, Minneapolis and numbers of other great commercial centers, and that but one has closed in New York, two in Chicage and one in Milwaukee, and the New York and Chicago suspensions were due to mismanagement.
