From the Baltimore Sun. ‘The manner of procedure of the English syn- dicate is first to examine the property, and if found satisfactory the books are examined by inglish experts, In London the books of all corporations are regularly exdminéd by experts who are known and licensed as ‘chartered ac- countunts,” which is a regular profession there. ‘The recent investment of large sums of foreign capital here hay mduced these firms to have representatives on this side, who act on cabled instructions and make the necessary examina- tions preliminary to the acceptance of the prop- erty. If the vendor's statements are verified the contracts are formally drawn and the pros- pectus giving the history of the property and business is published throughout Great Britain and Ireland. The vendors are always obliged to retain a substantial interest in the business, generally gne-third to one-half, in order to identify them with its successful management in the future. The conversion of individual ownership into corporatious under the limited liability act of England has thus far seemed to establish the fact that the ¢ombinations are not intended to advance prices. They simply rep- resent, it is stated, the investment of numer- ous sinall capitalists in industrial properties offering them attractive rates of interest as compared with 2 and 3 per cent, which are the prevailing rates in Great Britain, The recent parliamentary act of Mr, Goschen, secretary of the exchequer in England, cailing in something like £50,000,000 of consols, has given fresh im- petus to the investment of English money in foreign enterprises, The shares of these cor- porations are regularly dealt in on the London stock exchange, und an examination of the London stock reports shows large dealings in brewery shares, ee New Varieties of Trout. f From the New York Sun, There are two new varieties of trouteoming from foreign waters this week, They are ex- THE NEW RECORDER OF DEEDS, Ex-Senator Bruce Nominated for the Position Today. The President sent to the Senate today the nomination of Blanche K. Bruce of the District of Columbia to be recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia, {A SKETCH OF THE NOMINEE, Blanche K. Bruce was born a sivave in Prince Edward poong O Va., March 1, 1841, but re- ceived the rudiments of edacation from the tu- tor of his master’s son. When the war bapke out he ae his young master, whose compan- ion he had been, the master entering the = confederate army from S\ Missouri, Brace taught school for a time at Hannibal Mo., then be- came a student at Ober- lin, Ohio, and afterward BLANCHE K. BRUCE. pursued special studies at home, At the close of the war he became a Mississippi planter and was successively chosen sergeant- ot-arms of the legislature, a member of the Mississippi levee board, sheriff of Bolivar county, star superintend- ant of education and took seat in the United States Senate as a republican on March 4, 1875, when only thirty-four years of age. He was a member of every republican conven- tion held after 1868. On ‘May 19, 1881, two weeks after his senatorial term expired, he entered upon the duties of register of the U.S. Treasury, having been appointed E & position which he held until President Cleveland appointed Gen. Rosecrans to succeed him in 1885, Since then he has been in tne lecture field. He owns a fine residence i6th street, “ WHAT I8 SAID OF THE NOMINATION, “I have known ex-Senator Bruce for a num- ber of years,” said District Commissioner Dot lass, “and he isa_man of ability, fine charac- ter and intelligence, He will no doubt make an acceptable officer for the people of the Dis- “I do not propose to criticise the nomina- tions of the President. Ex-Senator Bruce is very intelligent and pleasant gentleman, and is abundantly equipped in every respect to per- form the duties of that office.” That is what Commissioner Hine said when questioned this afternoon by # Stag reporter on the nomina- tion, ‘MR, CARSON DOESN'T LIKE IT, Perry Carson; who was a candidate for the office, was in bed, down with the “grip.” when a Stan reporter informed him that the name of Blanche K. Bruce had been sent tothe Sen- ate as recorder of deeds. The information was not surprising but it stirred Mr. Carson up a little. “The President knows what's best,” he ejaculated, after the manner of a man who meant precisely the opposite of what he said: “He knows Bruce ain't a local man; that’s sure. The appointment will give great dis- satisfaction here, THE BASE BALL SITUATION, The Effect of the Ward Decision—What Mr. Scanton Says. “What do you think of the base ball situation today?” asked a Srar reporter of Mr. Michael B. Scanlon this afteroon. “Well, really,” said he, “there is very little to say just now, in my opinion, and things are notlikely to liven up much until after the meeting of the league officials in New York. Then there may be plenty of interesting news, for it is hard nowadays to tell what will happen next. You know Presi- dent Young and Mr. Hewett are outof town,and while they are away things are likely to be dull in league matters here. I suppose what you want to know is my opinion of the decis- ion in the Ward case yesterday. Isce all the brotherhood men are whooping things up and cheering for a complete victory. I cannot see where they have it yet. The court. 1 think, decided that the reserve rule must mean some- thing, and at any rate this decision does not finish the case by any means, ‘True, straws tell the direction of the wind, but the court held that the case must be tried entirely on its merits. The brotherhood is not out of the woods yet. “But if the case goes all in favor of the brot! erhood what effect will it have on the leagu “The league will yndoubtedly play to win and they will put out strong teams. They will have a fight to make and they will be ready for it, The main result, so far as Washington is concerned, is what I have prophesied all the time and still main- tain, The league will have but eight teams. Washington and Indianapolis are certain to go in order to strenzthen other teams, The New York league teum will find a strong broth- erhood team in the fleld and will need all their energies to meet the occasion. You see if they do not absorb all the Indiapolis players to strengthen their team, Washington is also doomed, I believe it. They are in no condition here for a protracted fight, and it is my opinion they will give in before the season opens and we will have no base ball here next season, You keep your eyes on coming events and see if J am nota true prophet.” [Ss FAST-DRESSING RECORDS BROKEN Young Noodles Astonishes the Platypus Club With His Performance. Young Noodles, who has rooms at the Platy- pus club, appeared in the drawing rooms down stairs last Saturday evening in a frock coat, blue puff tie and every-day trousers, The three men who were going to an evening party with him exclaimed in chorus: “Why are you not dressed?” For the fact was that, whereas the trio of his friends were in evening dress, Noodles did not appear to be in readiness for any sort of fashionable festivity, Howeyer, he remarked: s “It doest.’t matter a particle, don’t you know. Tcan dress for the cotillon in five minutes.” Two or three of the other men sitting about laughed derisively. “What is the use of talking that way. Noodles, old man,” they responded. “You know well cnough that no mau living can dress tor a party in that time,” “You think so, eh?” said Noodles, “Well, I'l bet you anything you please that I can be realy to go out tonight, properly equipped in every respect, within two minutes.” e boys jeered at this. However, they did not know that Noodles had come down stairs loaded for bets on that ve Drinks were wagered on the point and it was quickly brought to a decision, the stakes being brandy and soda for the crowd.

Nothing Like It Since the Old Days of Reconstruction. The wildest scene that has occurred in the House since the reconstruction times was enacted in the House this afternoon when the ‘Vote was announced on the motion to take up the SmithJackson election case. When the Vote was announced it was found that 161 votes had been cast in the affirmative and two in the negative. A point of no quorum was made on the democratic side and the Speaker directed the clerk to record the names, a list of which he had kept, of members not voting, but Present A loud shout of approval was raised on the republican side. Then as the names of the democrats were read by the Speaker members got up in their places and prot against their names being recorded against their will. Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky made a very Impressive protest and . THE DEMOCRATS STOOD UP AND SHOUTED, every man with all his might, some chi and some shouting their protesta. Cries of “Czar!” were often repeated. The scene was more like that of a riot than the proceedings of # parliamentary body. Mr, Reed said he was announcing a fact, not voting for the members. He said that when this was done he would proceed in an orderly manner to state his case and leave the question to be settled by the House. After a while the House got quiet and he made his statement of the case, citing the action of Mr. Hill, the present governor of New York. inthe New Yi senate, and stat- ing that the question was one that had often been raised. ‘MR, CRISP GETS THE FLOOR. Mr. Crisp appealed from the decision of the chair and Mr. Rowell of Illinois moved to table that motion. Mr. Crisp demanded to be heard in answer to the Speaker, but the latter recognized Mr. Rowell instead, whereupon Mr. Crisp denounced his conduct as unfair andunmanly. He appealed to the fairness of the republicans, and was ei Sega floor, yielding for a moment to Mr. Hatch (Mo.) who stated that he was paired with Mr. Rockwell (Mass.) and that the Speaker's action in re- cording him as absent under these circum- stances was fallacious and wrong. Mr. Crisp then proceeded to make s reply to the Speak- er's argument. EXTREME MEASURES SPOKEN OF. The democrats speak of withdrawing from the hall if the majority sustain the action of the speaker. If they do this it is said that the Speaker will authorize the sergeant-at-arms to arrest enough and bring them in to make a quorum, and that then a motion may be made to expel the absent members. MR BRECKINRIDGE’S PROTEST, When Mr. Breckinridge made his remark in aresounding voice in the House today: “I deny the power of the speaker to do this, and I denounce it as revolutionary.” Cheer after cheer (characterized by the republicans as t “rebel yell”) went up from the democratic sid DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

THE NAVAL POLICY REPOR' The Secretary of the Navy, in response toe resolution recently adopted, transmitted to the Senate today the report of the policy board on the ed increase of the naval establish ment, On this report was based Senator Hale's bili, made b the committee on naval affairs recently, The report says that never in the history of the country bave we been so unprepared as now to maintain our rights upon the seas or to defend our own shores. The ouly fear thatthe United States has is from attack by sea, because the Atlantic and Pacific furnish an insure mountable barrier to an invading army. The United States should maintain a nary equal to any other in the world, but for the fact that our greatest interests lie in the wee- tern hemisphere, near our basis of supply, and far removed from the base of supply of most European nations. The United States however, shouid be able to destroy at its out- break every base of supplies in proximity to our country which belongs to the enemy, thus forcing the enemy back and excluding from the contest all vessels of limited endu- rance, Thisand the protection of the con- verging highways of our commerce, foreign and coast-wise, Would represent the principal demand to be made upon our navy for purposes of defense, .
