Controller Dawes is sending a letter to each national bank examiner, notifying him that he may be called upon at any moment by telegraphic notice to examine the as- sets of any state bank seeking admission to Uhe national system, or to inquire into the character and responsibility of applicants for new charters. The controller held sev- eral consultations today with his subordi- nates tm regard to other features of the new law, but did not complete all his ar- Yangements for carrying {t into effect. Or- ders were given that no more notes for five dollars should be issued to banks having more than one-third of their circulation in notes of that denomination. Applications for New Charters. ‘The applications for new charters num- ber about two hundred, including state and private banks which desire to enter the na- system. An important factor in re- straining the increase in circulation under the new law is the limit of the act of 18% upon the retirement of national bank notes. This limit is $3,000,000 per month, and has a dy been reached for March. with ad- applications for April amounting to These applicatians will be acted on in the order received, but a bank can- obtain its bonds and deposit lawful y for the retirement of its circulation When the £1.000,000 limit has been reached. nt appearances applications ng circulation with a view to some in distribution will soon be on file for several months ahead.

The following is the text of the dispatch: “BLOEMFONTEIN, Tuesday, March 13, 8 pm.—By the help of God and by the bravery of her majesty’ soldiers, the troops under my command have taken pos- session of Bloemfontein. The Britist flag now flies over the presidency, .evagyated last evening by Mr. Steyn, late president of the Orange Free State.

The inhabitants of Bloemfontein gave the troops a cordial welcome.” French Makes the Captare. A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from Bloemfontein, dated Tuesday evening, Mareh 13, say “Bicemfontein surrendered at 10 today. It was occupied at noon. President Steyn, | with a majority of the fighting burghers, has fled northward. “General French was within five miles of the place at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon. He sent a summons into the town, threat- ening to bombard unless it surrendered by 4 a.m. Tuesday. A white flag wes hoisted Tuesday morning and a deputaticn of the town council, with Mayor Kellnes (7) came out to meet Lord Roberts at Spitz Kop, five miles south of the town, making @ formal surrender of the place. “Lord Roberts made a state entry at noon. He received a tremendous ovation. After visiting the public buildings, he went to the official residence of the president, followed by a cheering crowd, who waved the British flag and sang the British na- tional anthem. They were in a condition of frenzied excitement. “On Monday afternoon, previous to the surrender, there had been a little sniping and shelling, but the enemy then retired. “Lord Roberts has his headquarters at the president's house, and there are many of the British wounded the building. The railway is not injured.” The News in London. Lord Roberts’ dispatch caused a feeling of great relief in London. The absence of the news, eagerly looked for, had’ provoked some apprehension during the earlier part of the day that the British had met with a cheek before Bloemfontein, and anxious in- quiries were made at the war office and in the lobbies of par'iament. On the reception of the news the queen, at Windsor Castle; the Prince of Wales, at Marlborough House; Lord Wolseley, and othere were immediately notified, but at 9 o'clock the war office was almost deserted, the public having given up hope of further news until tomorrow. The appearance of the newspapers with - tidings caused great excitement along . at the Service clubs and in the West d generally, Owing to the late “hour, however, theré was no demonstration ap- P ching in the remotest which heralded the surr je and the relief of Ladysmith.

PROTECTING THE YOUNG ‘Appeal to Congress, Through Senator McMillan, for Betterment of Conditions. Attention Called to the Associations Forced Upon Boys and Girls Arrested for Crime. ‘Mrs. E. B. Russéll several days ago in- wited the attention of Senator McMillan, chairman of the Senate District committee, to the conditions surrounding youthful prisoners in the District. The senator re- ferred the matter to the Commissioners, who will, it is understood, assure him that they would gladly favor anything that could be done in connection with the bet- terment of the conditions mentioned. in her letter to Senator McMillan, Mrs. Russell explains that for ten or more years she occupied the position of matron at the District jail, and there saw girls as young as eight years of age brought in on sen- tences of fifteen or thirty days for stealing, in one case the articles stolen being flowers from a yard. From their arrest to their discharge, she stated, these children were not separated from their old and hardened fellow prisoners, being sent to.and from court in the van with both men and wo- men, and so crowded in some instances that the women were compelled to sit upon the laps of the men. On these journeys, said Mrs. Russel, the children and young girls were compelled to listen to the most pro- fane and vile language, and even when at court separation was not possible. Jt is the same,"" she continued, “in the cells in the station houses, and still worse at the Police Court, where the young and old of both sexes are crowded in together awaiting trial, and the cells are not sep- arated. The drinking, smoking and chew- ing of tobacco, the vile and profane language make it that a boy or girl would better be beheaded than to pass through the station houses, the Police Court, or the upper court, for the same conditions obtain there, and then to the workhouse or the jail. There {s in some of the station houses some arrange- ments made to separate the young offenders from the old, but they are in the same building, and I fear the improvements will be only temporary, because they were not constructed for such emergencies as we have been forcing upon them, and yet that is not a good word, for they (the police au- thorities) have all been so very kind to do the best th could under the existing circumstances. The Commissioners’ View. Replying to Senator McMillan, It Is under- stood the Commissioners will assure him that the conditions referred to by Mr. Rus- sell are regarded by them as of very se- rious importance and as matter which they would be glad to see remedied. The only control the Commissioners Jhave over the matter, they will explain, is“as to the treat- ment of prisoners in the police station houses, and there, so far as possible, pro- ion is made for the separation of young mers from the old by placing them in rooms and under the care of such s are provided for a few of the The accommodations and provi- s for such separation and treatment generally of youthful prisoners are, the Commissioners will point out, utterly inad- equate. Tt is well known, the Commissioners will further state, that the accommodations at the Police Court, not only so as far as young prisoners are concerned, but in al- every respect, are Inadequate, and, perhaps, not too much to add, repulsive and disgusting. The Commissioners will suggest that the result to be accomplished by improved conditions, such as suggested by Mrs. Russell, is most desirable, and the only hindrance, it appears to them, is in the ude of the work. Mrs. Russell Has promised to have intro- duced in Congress a measure providing for the betterment of the conditions surround- ing youthful prisoners here, and it is un- derstood that she has been assured of the stpport of not only the Commissioners, but that of all other municipal authorities con- nected with such matters. In this connec- tion it is not improbable that the attention of Senator McMiilan will be invited by those interested to the loading of the prison vans dally before the Police Court in the presence of a throng of {dle people and loungers, who not {nfrequently jeer at the unforiunates as they are crowded in the vans. It has, it fs sald, been observed more than on: boys are brought out before th ng chained to old and hard- ened 1 d thrust, as Mrs. Russell te into the vans with the most de- d and hardened of both sexes. ——— EMANCIPA DAY. ON Local Organization Making Arrange- ents for the Celebration. The board of directors and officers of the ation League held a meet- inley House, 48 Missouri st, last night, which was to order by James W. Poe, president of the league, at 8 o'clock. J. W. Coles and, W. H. Thomas acted as secretaries. The president, who Is ex-officia chairman of the beard of directors, announced the election chief marshal of the day for the com- emancipation celebration as the first s in order. Professor J. W. Coles pt. Alexander Hawkins, and ident of the southwest div fon yaded the nomination. Capt. Hawk- ins wa ed by acclamation. He made a speech accepting the position and thanking the directors for the honor they had coa- ferred upon him. The details of the parade were then dis- cussed, and the chief marshal stated that he would appoint his alds next week. The chairman then stated that he had arranged for the parade to be reviewed by President McKinley, the District Commts- sioners and the major and superintendent of the metropolitan police, at the north front of the White House, 1:45 p.m., April 16. Mr, P. A. Dickson, who came in as a visitor, addressed the board of directors by motion. He proposed a short parade, and advocated a subsequent meeting at some public hall. The following committee to carry out the program was then named *. Hill, W. H. Thomas, L. Willis, J. W. jes and Wm. Ennis, and the committea was instructed to report on hall and ar- rengements Monday next. The selection of the orator of the day, the master of ceremonies and the reader of the emancipation edict was deferred, and the president empowered to name them. At 11:05 the meeting adjourned with the benediction by L. Willis. The East Washington Star Pioneer Club, which will bear the portrait of President McKinley in the line of parade, was in ses- sion at 18th and C streets northeast last night. ‘The Roosevelt Club of Colored Veterans, through a committee, consisting of Messrs. Robert Dorsey and Walker Gilchrist, re- cently applied Tor a beat to be furnished from the Washington navy yard for use in the emancipation day parade, April 16. The ommittee has received a letter from Secre- tary Long in response to the request, say- ing the commandant of the navy yard wih be authorized to loan the organization a boat at the proper time, under the usual conditions, upon recelpt of application. —+.—__ AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c, ing busine: nominated ¢ L.
