HUTCHINSON, Kan., Oct. 18.-When the hour for opening the banks came today the Hutchinson National bank posted the following notice on its door: "This bank has suspended and will go into liquidation. We have wired the comptroller to appoint a receiver as quickly as possible. The bank is perfectly solvent, and every one will be paid in fuil." There was no excitement on the street worth mentioning, except among those who have not been able to get all their monev which was in the bank when it closed its doors about three months ago. But the bank officials assure them that they will be paid in full. There is no apprebension concerning the other banks of the city, for they are known to be doing a safe business. All has not gone well with the stockholders, directors and officials of the Hutchinson National since its resumption, and it is thought that "internal troubles" have more to do with the present suspension than lack of business. Much of the bank's old business drifted to other banks after it closed its doors before, and never came back, although it resumed seemingly in good faith. No statement of the assets and liabilities was made.
