Mr. McNorton, state bank examin that in regard 1 the subject of re-di ing that no exaot vrovision had been made by the law, but by the zeneral incorporation actof the'stato it should not be more than two-thirds of the capital stock. H said that some bankers in atarting in business sup- posed that it was not good banking to refuse every loan asked. *‘IBut,” he continued, man can not successfully run a bank on half-a-dozen farms and Lwice us many town lots.”” He urged the ro-assembling of the banking association before the legslature met for the purpose of formulating some ameudments to bo preseutod. Ia reply to question from Mr. Yates why private bauks could not be governed by the re-discounting restrictions, Mr. McNorton repliod that there were no provisions made in the law. He was in fuvor of compelling every bunk to incorporato or of prohibiting every bank pot incorporated from using a. corporated name. Mr. Crawford made an interesting speech ridiculing the taking of oaths. He declared that a boud was much better than an oath, Mr. Miller urged that there ought to be some public record kept of the stock owned by the stockbolders of all baaks. Mr. Searles declared that such a record could be found with every assessor, Mr. Simpson asked what should be the 1egal reserve of a banic and on what clags of liabilities the 15 per cent be reckoned. ‘Mr. McNorton was appealed toand replied that 1t was the amount payable on demand. In reply to another question he said - that any pieca of paper bearing the endorsement of a bauker is a liability of his bank, * A question was asked of Mr. McNorwn what he would do in case a bank had re- discounted to the full extent aliowed by law and found his deposiis were being drawn from and demands made that he could not meet, “In such an amergency,” said Mr. McNor- T would close Ly eyes to the law und ton, ro-discouut every piece of paper I could get hold of.” This was followed by peuls of laughter and applause r. Cody sald that the banking law was intended to develop a conservative syatem. In reply to the question, Mr., McNorton should ‘bave recommended that the bank should not reach such a precarious condition, Mr. NeNorton replied that the question asked him was not what he would advise, but what he would do 1b such an emergency, Said he, *Whea a time certificate matures it ceases to be a_time certificate and 15 a de- mund item and suvject to the 15 per cent re- serve acw" ' "Mr. Bently of Grand Island urged that . there ought not to be any restriction upon a bank in selling its paper. . Mr. Dolan declared that not more than 10 mflcfll of the capital of the bank should be ed at a time. A resolution was presented by Mr. Cow- lc{ recommendng that the executive com- mittee call # meetwg of their association for the purpose of discussiug amendmonts to the state bankung law to be called prior to the convening of the stute legislature, This was referred to the committee on state banks. ‘The following resolution was presonted by +Mr, Thomas Wolfe: Resolved, That the members of the Ne- braska bankers' associution hereby tender thein erateful thanks to the bankers and clearing house association of Omaba for the .nnnmu' welcome extended, and the royal nguet we ha joyed; W the mayor and cltizens of Owaha for their knd hosmtality ; the press of Omahs for the fair reports of our proceedings, and the different rallroad { companies for redvced rates. This was unsnimously adopted. Mr. Yates called the attention of the con- wveatiou to the subject of floating checks and urged that charges should be made for ex- _chinge on all ohecks.

Mr. Dickinson offered the following: Resoived, That all sight drafts drawn be liablo to the same charges for exchangn as checks whethor collectod by the receiving bank or_not. Mr. Yates opposed this, saging it v different from the resolutions previously pre- sented, and doelared that it would seriously trammel business in the state and upon the factlity with which tfade is made. Mr. Dickinson said that if he were an Omaha banker,ho woiild takethe same stand. But the demand was simply payment for work done, and that tho country banks were being used as_collectors tor the wholesale houses.

The committeo on atate banks reported on three resolutions, Kirst they declared that, while the state bauking law was necessarily imperfect, as all new laws are, they regurded it in the main as successtul, and one that has exalted the position of state and private banks and in safety, conservatism and legiti- mate banking had placed them along side the national banks. They recommended that the exocutive council should call the next meeting of the association next autumn_before tho legisla- ture meets for the purpose of looking to the amendment of state banking laws. They requested that the state board pub- lish tho first statement of all uational, state and privatebanks. The convention then adjourned. cory to vote and was . In the Evening. 3 The bankers returned from South Owiaha, whore they had visited tho packing houses of Swift & Co. and the Armour-Cudahy company and 1nspected the operation of these immense establishmonts, and had sup~ per at the Paxton. In the evening they at- tended Boyd's opera houso in a body to wit- ness the presentation of “'Siberia,’ A few of the visitors left for home last evening and the majority will leave to-day. b ey AMUSEMENTS. “'Siberia” never drew a larger house in this city than that which witnessed its pro- duction at the Boyd last night. The theatre was pacised and the audience was enthusi- astic. Thero is no doubt that, ofall the ieces of the late lamented Bartley Camp- ell, “Siberia” was most intended to with- stand tho wear of time. ‘Though long familiar, it is still most interesting both in plot and incident. Few of the scenes are overdrawn. The information they afford of life in Russia and in that far-off hell,Siberia, the name of which sends a thrill of horror through the system, is groater than could be acquired without a groat deal of dreary study. The piece is well mounted and strongly played. Eleanor Mowett, who plays Sara in “Siberia,” is the daughter of Katherine Rogers, and in her performance of this part last night sho gave' strong evidance that the bistrionic ability of the mother bhas been conveyed to and will be ably maiutained by the daughter. Miss Mowett: is a beautiful young woman, ks 8 fiue voice and good action, and easily captures the admiration of an sudience, The cast was further strength - ened by the presence of Lizzie Miner, an actress who # fow years ago made some reputation through the west in a comedy calica **Dad’s GarL.” Gave the O1d Man a Chance. - Frank Murphy, a tall, stout laborer -who was only a fow days ago released from the county jail, wrere he had been serving forty days for abusing his family, was -before Judge Helsley yesterday accused of being drunk and disorderly.

He was simply cele- brating his freedom. “If you'll len me go this time, judge, Il never drink another drop as long as I live,” said Murphy, ‘i sm ashamed of my past conduct and want to reform.” His wife and dayghter were in the court room to testify against the old man, but when they saw his tears and heard his ear- nest promises they also pleaded with the court to giye the defendant one miore chance o reform. The request was granted and the Murphy family now hope to live in peace.

A letter was read from the poet Whttler in which be said 1 part: “I huve always regrotted the action of the Woman's Chris- tian Temperance union in taking & partisan position. 1 do mot impeagh . the motive of the noble -una devoted women of that organization, but I have seen no good accomplished by their political action, I hope the non-partisan tomperance workers will not waste any strength in com- batting the political organization, but go for- ward, which I think is the best way and, 8o far a8 I can sce, tho only one likely to ac- complish the great object of the temperance eflort,’ he sossion of the convention this morning was devoted to the discussion of the pro- posed constitution, Tho committee on con- stitution reported through the chairman, . Ellen Foster and the report was signed by every member of the committeo. The coustitution was read by Mea. Walker innesota. The preamble 1s as follows: fewing with the deepest solicitude tho anpalling evils of intémperance, aud believ- ing that a non-partisan, non-sectarian organ- ization of Christian women devoted solely to the cause of temperance is greatly needed, wa unite ourselves together for4his purpose under the following constitution: “Then follows the constitution, the first sec- tion of which is as follows: *“T'his organization shall be known us the Amorican Woman’s Christian Temperance leugue.” It is provided that the officers shall be a president, vice president, two secretaries and a treasurer. There are 1o be five do- partments of work — evangelistic, educa- tional, legislative and young women's work. One section of the constitution declares that no ofticer shall pledge the support of the or- ganization to any political party or any religious sect, Any temperance socioty can become auxiliary by signing the constitu~ tion, The annual meetings are to be held in November and the members of the executive committes will nov be permitted to vote thereat, v The name caused much discussion, but was finally agreed to, and all the remaining sections were adopted. The section which provides that ths organization shall be non- partisan and non-sectarian was agrecd to by a standing vote, many of the ladies waving their hahdkerchiefs. At the afternoon session, after some dis- cussion, a pledge was engrafied in the con- stituuion, as follows: I hereby solemnly Ymmlw, God helping me, to abstain from all distilled, fermented and malt liquors, including wine and cider, as u beverage, and to discourage the use of and the traflic in the same.” ‘The name, the ‘*American Women's Chris- tean Temperauce League," adopted at tho moruning session, was short-lived. The new society will march under the name, the *‘Na- tional Crusaders.” Shortly after the opening of the afternoon session Mrs. Ellen Foster narose and moved that the vote, by which the name of the or- gauization had beon fixed, be reconsidored. Mrs. Aldrich of Iowa séconded the motion and a lengthy discussion followed. Mrs. Foster said the name ‘‘crusaders’’ had been sugeested. Iv was: short and at- tracted attention by its newness. Miss Doty of Cleveland said she . was un- willing to be called a new 'crusader, for'she had bean-one foc fiftean yeers. Roconsideration was “ordered and Mrs. Cowles of Ohio offered the name, the'*‘Nu. tional Crusaders.” Mrs. Aldrich of Towa wanted 1t **National Women’s Christian Crusaders.” She wanted to save the words Christian, women and temperance, which had been 0 long identi- tied with the movement. Mrs. Shortledge of Pennsylvania said she wanted a nome entirely distinctive from the old party, from which they were obliged to withdraw. After further discussion Mrs. -Aldrich moved that the organization be called the “National Crusade Alliance,” but this was rejected. “The name “Nauional Crusaders” was thon adopted by a viva voce yote and the pream- ble and constitution readopted. Tu reply to the question as to an estimate of the expenses for the ensuing year, Mrs, Foster saud it would require avout §10.000 to conduct affairs during that time. This - cludes salaries of $1,200 each to the president and general secrotary and about the same to the financial sccretary, besides which appropriations are needed ' for a re- cording secretary, the heads of departments. and a national organizer, On motion of Mrs. Shortledge the conven- tion then proceeded to tho nomination and election of ofticers.

SAN F'raNcisco, Jan, 23.—Each day for the last eight days during which the blockade on the Central Pacific and the California and Oregon line has continued the Southern Pacific officials have felt hopeful that the following day woula see the blockade raised. Fresh storms have come, however, and the tracks have been covered with snow almost as soon as cleared. No attempt will be made to move the two westbound trains at ‘Truckes nor the four at Reno, s the comfort ot the passengers can be looked out for better at these places than at any other points in the mountains, The blockade at Cascade would prevent the pas- sage of trains at this point even if 1t was de- sired to move them. It will be impossible to do much worlk between Cascade and Summit for some time, but:as soon as practicable a rotary plow will be set in motion there. The Oregon work is progressing rapidly.

The joint committea on the order of business reported that no resolution on consolidation will be consiuered adopted unless it receives a three-fourths majority vote of each organiza- tion, The discussion was opened on con- solidation vy Jolin McHride, who strongly favored one organization. 10e, on bealf of tho Knights of Labor, spokeat length in favor of one organization with two branches. There was such & wide difference of opnion that at 13:30 p. m, the conveution adjourned 10 8 o'clock to ‘give the joint committee farther time to work! The joint convention’ reassembled at 3:20. The resolution by. John Nugent indorsing the plan of' awalgamation proposed by the oflicors of the two organizations was unaui- mously adopted. The convention then adopted, sectiou by aection, plans of consol- idation, the rules requiring the caliing of the yens aud nays being suspended until the yote on the plan entire was taken. When the roll was called there were 103 votes cast favor of the plan. . ‘There were 31 votes cast for and four againat the plan by the Progressive Union, T. W.
