BOOKS ABE STOLEN. Sensational Phase of the Failure of the National Bank of Illinois. Chic.ign. 111., Jan. and startling complications are forthcoming as the result of the National Bank of Illinois failure.

Col. W. V. Jacobs, who coiifcived the Calumet Electric railway scheme and was ftirccd out of control in is unable to push claims against the otlieers of the National Hank of Illinois because all papers and books relating to his connection with the Calumet Electric railway have been stolen. According to Col.

Jacobs, the crime was eoiiimitti-d by one of his contidential clerks, against whom a charge is now pending in the I'nitcd States court. Claim is made that tbe theft of the papers in his possession was the sequel of a conspiracy which promises sensational developments. lu addition to the significance attached to the stolen papers iu relation to the failure of the National Bank of Illinois, the publication of a duplicate foreign exchange credit from the defunct bauk to Col. Jacobs places an entirely iie-w face upon the suit which is now in regard to the sale of the Euglewood and Chicago Street Railway company. The printing of two fac similes of the credits is expected to lead to the conviction of the culprit who is chartred with theft.

The significance attat-hed to the niiss- ing papers and books so far as the National Bank of Illinois is concerned is that they support Col. Jacobs' claims aud enhance his judgments against the National Bank of Illinois as former owner of the Calumet Electric road. Quay's Man Victorious in a Stubborn Fight In Wanamaker's Plans.

It was one of the strongest fights ever made against Senator Quay, and it is estimated by conservative persons who are intimate friends of Mr. YVanamaker that he spent at least during his aggressive campaign, while the IViiruse managers declare they spent less than S15O.OOO. Even while the death knell of his senatorial aspirations were being sounded Mr. Wanauiaker was planning to continue the fight against Senator Quay in the state.
