Harris cabled him today, inquiring if bewooldbc able to leave Sydney by the Ala-Brtdaon the :Jfith inst., but as yet has re-

ee-red no reply.Hall is the individual who claims to

have made a break in Fitzsimmons' recordby stopping him in three rounds andone-half. The New Zealander, on thecontrary, has a paragraph in his recordclaiming Hall's scalp.

The main difficulty in arranging a matchfcrtween these two men will probably con-sist in getting a purse big enough, as Fitz-simmons is not likely to want to come

down from his late fancy price, and Hall,Harris savs, is not a cheap man by any

RIDYARD KIPLING AT 35.

Greatest Storyteller in thc World-Oneof Gladstone's Four Immortal*.

London Letter in Boston Advertiser.By the time this letter appear* in print,

Mr. Kipling may have foaswl to be only~i" will 25 >"«*"» of age on the .TOthof this month. He was bom in the mag-nificent old rock city of Bombay, the sec-oud city in the British empire, on the 30thof December, I*V>. He was sent "home"at an early age, ami receive*! his edu-cation at a famous school in England. InISB2, at the age of 18, but probablyalready a matured man, he returned toIndia, and began bis vivid, active life as areporter and sub-editor on an India news-paper. \\ hat this life was we can Ratherbest by following the first person, the per-vading "I"ofhis collected stories, in the"Plain Tales from the Hills." in "SoldiersThree" and in the volume ofnative storiescalled "In Black and White." The omni-present. irrepressible, active reporter, whohas always such infinite leisure for starva-tiafc or a storv of universal sympathies,touching Indian life in everv one of itscotnpUx variations, now swelling it withhis "lads and ladies," as Mulvanev re-marks, now the bosom crony of the sameMulvancy, but always a gentlemen, andentering into native character with a pen-etrative depth of weight such as no otherEuropean has attained to?this is onlythe actual Rudvard Kipling. Those sevenyears, 1882-ISB9. were the seed time andthe harvest of work?it was then thatthe stories and the verses in his sevenearlier volumes were written, for the mostpart, as a portion of his daily task work,and after their appearance in journalisticform were collected into quaint littleIndian-printed books published by Thackerit Spins. Calcutta, which would fetchtheir weight in gold at this day. Theyhave gone, as Mr. Andrew Lang* puts itthe way of most first editions; and thisvery fact shows that Kipling's work, fromthe first, was keenly appreciated on hisown ground.

Never was there such an illustration of"time and the man." India is a great con-tinent, with a population nve times that ofthe much-boastea United States, a hun-dred different languages and religions,with a history which concentrates all thewild romance of the East. At least fromthe days of Virgil the name of India hasbeen synonymous with romance, or if, asMr. Kipling says, the history of India onlybegins with the Company, it has anyhow,for 'JOG years, been the recorded theater ofsuch absolutely varied action as no otherc«»nntry can rival. And yet, until but theother day, that tine old Colonel MeadowsTaylor, whom I knew in ray childhood,and of whom I may sometimes have occa-tion to speak?the author of "Tara,""Seeta," "Confessions of a Thug." andseveral other excellent novels ?ColonelTaylor remained the one literary outcomeof two centuries of British rule in India.It was certainly not an adequate product,and one reason for this fact was that, asMr. Kipling puts it, the government of In-dia acts on the beautiful principle of work-ing all its servants to death and leavingno "surplus" man around. Then, in In«'2,appeared Mr. Kipling, who was most for-tunately a surplus man a.» far as other oithe services was concerned. India ha<lbeen waiting for him, through the dumbcenturies. When I told him. the othernight, that he had been "able" to do thisand that great thing for India, never donebefore. "So." he said, feeling that he washut the instrument. "Say. if you will,that I was allowed to do it." It was aneasy ta»k. "'Twas my place nf banish-ment." he calls India in that bitter andhautiful "Envoi," at the close of "SoldiersThree." but he did his great work.

In the summer of 1889. Mr. Kipling,aged 23. and by achievement the greatestteller of stories alive, not less great cer-tainly, than such veterans as Brete Harteand Xiphonse Daudet. but probably know-ing littleof all this himself, left hi- gor-geous "palace of banishment" to jjn"home," via China. Japan and America.

? He wrote constant letters back to India,describing his adventures and observationsbv the way. These letters will be col-lected. very shortly, into a most fascina-ting volume. And* about fifteen monthsago he reached London, end soon after hebegan to tlanie across the entire literaryfirmament. He is keenly aware of thestart he has got over his contemporaries,and he doe* not seem inclined to yteld anvportion of this start. He has probablynever worked so hard a> during this lastyear of glory; he leads the life of an oys-ter, never seeing a stranger, andone of his friends relates that he

heard him called the hardest man in Lon-I don to meet, and, indeed, he i> quite rightSto protect his seclusion. The brilliant

story of "The I.igbt That Failed." nowI running in America is but one of the recent| results of his great labor. I ventured to! ask Mr. Kipling a question that is doubt-

less in the hearts of U».000. namelywhether he was engaged in fulfilling thehalf promise made to the reader in the last

of the "Plain Tales, called "Filedfor keference." "No." he said, "no in-

, de»*d I should have to be in India to do! that." But going back to India he soon i>;? he will some day take that wierd andI matchless plot of the t.le. and produce one

I o;ight to state that Mr. Kipline. w ho,it is possible. has no l*tter ground for in-

A GREAT BANK FAILS.

The American National, of Kan-sas City, a Wreck.

RUMORS CAUSEO A BIG RUN.

The Clearing -Ifnu«e Would Havebut Maifern W»>r« Hoprlfu

?Allied Institution Besieged.

K 45SAS CITY. Jan. 19.?The nationalbank examiner for Missouri took charge otthe American National Bank, of this city,this morning. The capital stock of thebank is $1,250,001). No statement of theliabilities or asset.* can be obtained. Dur-ing the early part of last week it becameknown to members of the Kansas CityClearing-house Association that the hankwas in heed of assistance. A meeting ofthe association was called and a resolutionadopted assuring the American that upona proper fhowing assistance would be ren-dered to the amount of $1,000,000.A committee was appointed to ex-amine the collaterals, and Saturdaythey reported that the paper offeredwas not such as the banks of the associa-tion would accept. This decision madethe failure of the bank inevitable, and thebank examiner assumed charge of theconcern. As a result of the failure a greatdeal of uneasiness was created among thedepositors of the Kansas City Safe andSavings Deposit bank, which was sup-posed by many to be connected with theAmerican National hank. There was arun on the first-named hank all day. Toall appearances the bank has plenty ofmoney, and it is the general opinion ofthose in a position to know that thebank will be all right and there is no occa-sion for the scar*-. The deposits of theAmerican National bank arc about $1,200,-000. having fallen to that amount from$4,00i3,000 since last October. It has beenascertained that the bank owes over SBOO,-000 of borrowed money. A gentleman ina position to know the condition of theother national banks in the city says theyare in good condition, and will not beaffected by the failure.

President Stimson, in a public state-ment, says the cause of the failure of theAmerican National bank seems to havebeen the definite lack of contidence whichhas pervaded the business world in thelast few months. A rumor gained cur-rency three months ago that the bank wasnot in the best condition. Withdrawal ofdeposits followed immediately, and withthe growth of the unfavorable reports, in-creased to an alarming extent. On theIst day of October the bank statementshower! deposits of $4,200,000; on Decem-ber 19 they had fallen off to $2,500,000, andSaturday night, when the clearing-housecommittee made an investigation, they ag-gregated 0n1y51,400,000. The cash avail-able at that time was $400,000. The de-crease began with the stringency in theEastern money market, and when the bankfound itself obliged to negotiate a loan ofs*oo,ooo in the East, it was compelled togive, as collateral, gilt-edgedWhen these drains upon the bank's re-sources became generally known and con-fidence was impaired, the clearing-housecould not agree upon any plan of assist-ance, and the bank examiner was notifiedhy President Stimson.

"The clearing-house meeting was first calledwithout our knowiekge," said President Stim-son, "aud other hanks voluntarily offered as-sistance, if needed, I'nfortunately, the meet-ing became publiclyknown, causing increasedrutnor*, which resulted in a run Friday andSaturday, and we then applied to the clearing-house for aid. but they failed to agree on a planof assistance aud we were obliged to close,although in my opinion, thi* ought neverto have oeeurred. as the b3nk always has beensolvent. Deposits have been paid in full aud ifthe assets are carefully handled the stockholdersshould get hack a large paitof their originalinvestment."

The liabilities are estimated at $2,250,-»*X>; assets nominally $3,500,000. Otherbankers do not anticipate any bad eflectson other houses.

There seems to he a decided difference ofviews as to the failure of the clearing-house to extend assistance to the embar-rassed hank. A prominent member of theassociation tonight said, when the com-mittee met. the chairman certified checksfor $17,000,000 to he turned over to Stimson,should the showing warrant the loan.The examination, he said, proved thesecurities entirely insufficient, and assist-ance therefore was withheld.

CHICAGO. Jan. 19. ?The Merchants' Na-tional bank of this city, correspondent ofthe hank at Kansas City that failed today,will not feel the suspension.

NEW YORK. Jan. 19. ?The Chemical bank,the Seaboard National and the UnitedStates National banks of this city, corres-pondents of the American National bankoi Kansas City, will not be affected by thefailure.
