Awan evidence of the sound financial condition of this company, and of its authority to transact the classes of business above deecribed, we call attention to the fact that after a valuation of our assets during the height of the recent money disturbance, the Comp- troller of the U.8. Treasury granted us the following certificate pursuant to the act of Congress October 1, 1800. ‘TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER ‘ OF THE CURRENCY. ‘Whereas, The American Security and Trust Com- pany has filed with me the certificate of itsintention to avail itself of the provisions of the act of Congress entitled, *‘An act to provide for the incorporation of trust, loa, mortgage and certain other corporations within the District of Columbia,” approved October 1, 1800, and to be chartered by and under said act, duly ‘Verified by the oath of its president.

Democratic Leaders Seriously Perplexed in Regard to the Bill. ‘The democrats aro now in serious consulta- tion on the subject of the apportionment bill. It still remains to be settled whether or not the critics of the census will be able to 80 discredit Mr. Porter's work as to defeat a reapportion- ment at this session. Democrats think that the hearing today before the census committee on the New York city case will have a decided influence on the question. If they should succeed in compelling a recount of New York city it might send the whole ap- portionment question over until the next Con- gress, DEMOCRATS PERPLEXED. The democrats have some perplexing ques- tions to consider in relation to the apportion- ment and are not a little annoyed by the lack of patriotism on the part of some individual members and even whole tions. The number at which the membership of the House could be held to tho best interest of the democrats—all things considered— according to Mr. Holman, member of the committee, is the present number, 832.

It was the first. time In the history of the government that a measure was proposed on the theory that the states were no longer able to provide for and that the people of the states were no longer fitted to be entrusted wi the control of their own elections. NEW GEORGETOWN COLLECTOR. ‘Nominations Sent to the Senate Today. The President today sent to the Senate the following nominations: Komauldo Pacheo of California, envoy extra- ordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to the Central American States. Wm. Monaghan of Ohio, United States consul at Hamilton, Canada. Collectors of customs—Sherman A. Johnson, district of “Georgetown, D.C; Alexander Firthian, district of Bridgeton, N.J. Surveyor of customs—Walter Johnson, Port of Rock Island, Ill. Frederick Walter Harris, examiner of drugs, ‘ines and chem! at San Fran- cisco. Also a number of recess appointments. HOUSE, Mr. Cntcheon (Mich.) called up Senate joint resolution authorizing the Secretary of War to issue 1,000 stands of arms to each of the states of North and South Dakota, Wyoming and Ne- braske. Mr. Holman (Ind.), while not opposing the resolution, expresmed his beliet that there was no strong ground for apprehension of serious Indian trouble, but her believed that the In- dians were not being well treated. He believed fhat the charge made that ration: were not be- He Ind entire confidence in’ the present commissioner of.

On motion of Mr. Carter (Mont.), the state of Montans was included in the provisions of the joint resolution, which was then passed. THE PENSION APPROPRIATION DILL. On motion of Mr. Morrow (Cal.) the House— yeas, 188; nays, 71; (Mr. “Rogers of Arkansas leading the opposition in support of the pri- Yate culendar)—went into committee of ‘the whole (Mr. Burrows of Michigan in the chair) on the pension appropriation AGAINST PENSIONING DEPENDENT RELATIVES. Mr. Vaux (Pa.) did not oppose the general purpose of the bill, but he did oppose the ap- propriation made for dependent relatives under the act of March 9, 1896. So far as justice to the American soldier or sailor was concerned he stood foremost with the foremost men, but he objected weighing down Justice to the term talied charity. "On — what basis Congress asked to give charity to those who had done nothing for the country, nothing to carry out the objects of the war?’ When Con- Gress undertook to adulterate justice to charity it leveled justice to a eleemosynary condition, which was unworthy of the soldier and un- | ™ worthy of the idea of pensions. Pensions were given as a oe of great serv ice—patriotic serviee-to. those who rendered the service. What had “dependant relatives” dono that they shoald stand] sida by side with the men who had given health and their lives for their country. CRITICISING THE COMMISSIONER. ‘Mr. Outhwaite (Ohio) said that in the debate yesterday charges had been made against the commissioner of pensions which, if sustained, brought the conduct of that officer very near toan impeachable offense. He criticised the conduct of the commissioner in abandoning his tfor the purpose of effecting an honest Gareasticalty in the district of the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Cooper). Mz. Cutcheon suggested that Commissioner k had taken part in congressional elec- tions. Mr. Outhwaite replied that if Mr. —— dc —— thin, Commissioner Raum had gone hs fo should have been brought to justice for it. ——_ CAPITOL COMMITTEE ROOMS. ‘New York’s Application for a Re-enumera- tion—Other Matters, ‘The Senate has confirmed the nomination of at vice a money at Jackson, Mias., vice George H.
