The Assignment Necessary to Protect the Customers of the House. Mr. Wharton Barker of Barker Bros, & Co, of Philadelphia, who assigned yesterday. said in the afternoon regarding it: “The assign- ment is unavoidable. We hoped to be able to avoid it, but it was impossible, People who owed us money and on whom we depended did not pay us. We expected that they would do 80, but they failed to meet their engagements, and now we have failed to meet ours, That is all that can be said now. Of course, the con- dition of the money market has much to do With the trouble, The step was necessary for the protection of our customers,” Wharton Barker was president of the Finance Company of Pennsylvania and was a director of the Investment Company of Philadelphia, of which latter Company he was formerly vice president. Just before the suspension was an- nounced meetings of the directors of these rg Sy were called, apparently with haste, At the Finance company immediate prepara- tions were made for an anticipated run on its deposits. All drafts made upon it were promptly met, and Treasurer Stern assured a number of persons who had accounts there that the company was entirely solvent and would pay everything presented in the form of acheck or other demand. Charlemagne Tower. jr., the vice president of the company, said that the Finance Company was under no stress; that it could pay every obligation gainst it, and that the meeting of the directors had no reference to the Barker failure. The resignation of Wharton Baker as ao was received and accepted. Vice President Tower was elccted president, and Director Philip C. Garrett was choxen vice president. A committee of three directors was selected to act as advisers to the presijleut for the present. A syndicate, consistiug of Drexel & Co., Brown Bros. & Co,, the Provident Life and Trust Company and the Penusylvania Company for the Insurance of Lives and the Granting of Annuities, has been formed for the purpose of advancing to the Finance Company of Penn- sylvania any amount of money that may be necessary to meet its outstanding liabilities, UNIVERSAL EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY. When the suspension became known there was among business men a universal expression of regret and of sympathy with Abraham Bar- ker, the venerable head of the firm. Mr. Bar- ker is a general favorite in Philadelphia's financial circles, and many bankers, broker merchants and men in various lines of busi- ness called ou him to assure him of their sym- pathy and esteem. Mr. Barker was very much affected, and he showed by his evidently sup- Pressed excitement that he felt keenly the failure of the house. During the past tew days, he said, Le had devoted all of his time and financial ability to raising money for the heip of others, aud when his own time of need came those who were indebted to the house had failed to meet their obligations, and suspension became inevitable. HISTORY OF THE HOUSE. The firm of Barker Bros, & Co, consists of Abraham Barker and his son, Wharton Barker. Abraham Barker, the founder of the firm, is the son of Jacob Barker, the famous financier, and was born in New York city June 3, 182i. Abraham Barker began his financial career in 1837 in New Orleans when he was seventeen years old. He entered the firm of Horace Lean & Co., correspondents of Jacob Little, who was then the Jay Gould of Wall street. In 1542, when Abraham had sttained his majority, he went to Philadelphia and established him- self in business asa banker and broker at 28 South 3d street with his brother, Andrew Sigourney Barker. Wharton Barker, Abraham's son, became a member of the firm in 1868. In 1877-78 the firm brought prominently before the pub- lic by the announcement that they had become the ‘financial agents of tho Russian govern- ment in the United States, In view of the fact that war between England and Russia seemed imminent at that time the mission was a most important one. When the Russian govern- ment intrusted the firm with the purchase of the four men-of-war Wharton was the principal agent, and in 1879, as @ reward for his services, he was decorated by the czar with the second rank of the Order of St. Stanislaus, After the completion of the contract for the men-of-war the Russian government offered Mr. Barker some contracts for developing the coal re- sources of southeastern Russia—contracts that involved many millions, To view this property Mr. Pome went to Russia during the summer of 1980, THE CHINESE CONCRSSIONS, One of the great projects in which Wharton Barker has been concerned during bis career was to secure and render practical a series of concessious from the Chinese government for financial, railway and telephone privileges, project was first outlined by Count Mitkie- for along time aresigent of this cit; who, however, needed the fiuancial aid an backing which Mr. Barker could bring to the undertaking. Millions were involved in these concessions the charter for Chinese and American Bank calling for a capital of 25,000,000 tacls (a tael is $1.22 1n American money), with power to in- crease to 50,000,000 taels. It 18 said that the real opposition to the mammoth project was due to the jealousy of English and German capitalists, who brought ali possible pressure upon the Cuinese government to cancel the . Up to this time Count Mitkiewicz was ured to be simply a negotiator, but on June 9, 1888, he brought suit azaiust Mr. Barker to require him to immediately organize the Chi- nese-American companies, and to account to him (the count) for expenditure of moneys in promoting the scheme. In Mr. Barker's answer, filed on March 31, 1839, he declared that the Chinese government became distrust- ful of the complainant, and this distrust hin- dered and interfered with the negotiations, which were not completed. A bill by Mr. Bar- ker to compel the count to enter security to pay the costs of his equity suit against the former, led to a dropping of this legal branch of its affair. That the project has not been given up is indicated by a statement made by Mr, Barker ie doly Gf thie year When he eecensed: “That the undertaking which he began last Decem- ber of org:nizing a banking company under the Englis: liability act Lad been consummated, The new com will have @ capital of $25,- 000,000, only one-half of which is to be calle: in now. Oilices will be situated in London, Paris, Berlin and Philadelphia. With this Statement was furnished a list of the American directors, which included, besides Wharton Barker, many of Philadelphia's leading capital- ists and business men. ‘This is apparently the limit of progress made in-the matter.” Stamboul Beats His Record.

General Orders. Commander-in-chief Veusey of the Grand Army of the Republic has issued general orders Nos. 5,Gand7. The first requires an inspec- tion in all departments of posts not imspected previous to the last national encampment and calls upon department commanders to take ac- tion in the matter of deiimquent posts, The second order appoints assistant inspector gen- ralsin many of the departments.

On Trial for Riot at Tipperary. In the court of sessions at Tipperary, Ire- land, yesterday, the hearing was begun on the summonses against Mr. Harrison, M, P., and others, for riot, An adjournment was asked on the ground that Mr. Harrison was ill and un- able to be present, The request tor adjonrn- ment was refused and the court granted a war- rant for the arrest of Mr. Harrison. ‘The ex- amination of Col. Caddell, who had charge of the police on the day of the riot, was begun and was adjourned. The court then considered the question of estreat of recognizances in the cases of Mesers. Dillon and O'brien, Mr. Red- mond, counsel for the defendants, contended that the recognizances had lapsed through the alterations made in the original summonses.

In point of fact, if may be truthfally said that it is without as equal in this respect any where in the world These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on each Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1859, published in Tux Sram on the 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circu- Jation of any other paper in Washing> ton! 2 The Star’s circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published in the city added to gether! 3. fhe Star has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchase ing population, than any other news Paper in the world!!! 4. The Star has the largest regular @nd permanent home circulation of any twoe-cent afternoon paper in the United States 1!!! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papery Qttention is invited to the figures following: PAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-R6-87-88-88, ISS.

The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, ent by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is'supplied regularly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, | &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tux Stan a distinctive and enviable position in modern journal'sm, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seck and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tuz Stan's advertising patronage Nothing can more eurely illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is beld by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad verse claims and pretentiouscompetition, The figures following tell the story on this point: WUMBSR OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS ¢RINTED OF 1885-86-87-88-80, 1883. 18S6. 1SS7. 188s, 1SS9_ JAN,....2,785 3,200 3,615 4072 4,556 3,064 3.547 3,924 4,529 3,506 4,669 4,603 5,194 4,355 5,475 4,956 5,584 4,197 5,395 5,171 6,039 3,938 4,522 4,606 5,529 3,235 3,3SL 3,915 4,459 2.682 3.170 3.508 4,606 4,517 4,904 5,559 5.313 5,412 6.59 3,038 4,689 6,107 ‘Tora £1,499 45,910 54,038 54,501 65,529 But it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filied by advertise ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1989 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns im the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious year of 1444columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing im the way of tax salcs, poll lists, election returns, ‘@tc., such as occasionally swell the business of political organs, being included in its patrom ege. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, tm proportion to the extent and high character of its circulation, Tux Bran's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement herciv ‘glade can be abundantly verified THE CIR CULATION OF THE PAPER Is SWORN TO) TTS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING 4M DITEREST Ii THEIR EXAMINATION fea
