TWO BANK FAILURES The Missouri National Bank of Kansas City is one of the Unfortunates. DAN STUART VERY SICK Mark Hanna Arrives in Washington to Prepare for the Grand Inauguration. FIVE CHILDREN BURNED KANSAS CITY, Mo., November 30 -The Missouri National bank, one of the largest banking institutions in this city, closed its doors, to-day, and is in charge of H. A.

The failure was due to the money on hand running below the reserve required under the banking laws, and the papers among the assets being given a lower value by Examiner Forman than by the bank officials. The officers of the institution say they will pay all depositors in full. The failure created a surprise as the bank was generally understood to be in a sound condition. The last statement, made October 6th, showed the resources, $1,875,537.24 capital, $250,000. Examiner Forman says the condition of the bank is practically the same to-day as on October 6th.

First National of Tyler. Tyler, Texas, November 30.-The First National bank of this city failed this morning and did not open Its doors for business. The president of the bank, H. H. Rowland, placed a notice on its front door that all depositors would be paid in full. The bank directory gave out a lengthy statement, in which they stated that heavy withdrawais had for some time been made by depositors: that about the time of the failure of the City National bank here on October 18. 1896, $30,000 were withdrawn and that from November 21 to 28 between $70,000 and $80,000 had been taken out by depositors and that since the bank's public statement of October 6, 1896, the bank's liabilities in the shape of bills payable and rediscounts have been reduced over $61,000. The officials of the bank, anticipating heavy withdrawals this morning. made every effort to procure the cash to meet the demands of depositers, but the time in which TO secure such funds was too short and they falled to do so. The directory states that there will be an effort to reorganize the bank and to resume business with reasonable hopes of success. The failure of this bank caused an almost total collapse here, as it did nearly all the business of this community. The failure of this bank precipitated a small run on the Tyler National bank here, the officers of which got out and published a statement of its condition, which seemed to satisfy its depositors and the withdrawals ceased.

Those good Times. Kansas City, Nov. 30.-The Missouri National Bank, the biggest bank in Kansas City, has just closed its doors. The failure is due to the money on hand running below the reserve required under the banking laws and paper among the assets being given a much lower value by Examiner Forman than by the bank officials. Mr. Forman is reticent regarding the exact condition of the bank and the officers of the institution say they have left everything to him. They assert, however. with apparent confidence that they will pay depositors in full, and no matter what occurs there will be a fair percentage left for stockholders. The failure created a surprise, as the bank was generally understood to be in a sound condition. Its last statement was made on Oct. 6, and showed resources at the close of business that day to be $1,875.537.24; its capital was $250,000.Examiner Forman says the condition of the bank is practically the same today as on October 6. The only difference is the value of some of the assets. The bank opened for business Jan. 2, 1891, with 3S depositors, and now has 2.685 depositors. During the panic in July, 1893, it was compelled to suspend, but remained closed only about 10 days. No trouble is anticipated at any of the other Kanass City banks. New York, Nov. 30.-Isaac Sweep & Co., wholesale dealers in watch cases, failed today. The firm has a branch in St. Louis. Liabilities, $75,000; nominal assets, $50,000. Washington.
