New Methods Have Been Invented to Out- wit the Inep ctors, SOME RESULTS OF RECENT FA'LURES. Pederal System of Detecting Dishon- est Oflicials Will Be Arranged Differently—Needed Reforms to Be Introduced. B3 FOURTEENTIE STRE Wasminaroy, D, C., Nov. 7. Financial circles here as well as in the east have been fuliof talk about national bank examinations ever sincs the closing of the Maverick National bank at Boston the other fay, and it is the general impression that some radical changes are about to be made In tho system which will protect depositors and stockholders, Thore 15 no question but that the examina- tions of national banks eve far supevior to those by examiuations of state banks, as state examiners are in a largo measure politi- cians, while the examncrs for national bauks are selected for their ability to properly do the work., The trouble lies, it is found, in the law branches of the government which have to prosecute dishonest bank officials, in laxity on the part of old examiners. As an fllustration of how bank examiners arve usually‘treated one gives this as his exper- fonc I found when I first went upon the road that bankers usually expected me and were ready for my work. It is the custom to mako exuminations at about certain periods of the year. When I'entered a baunk 1 could tell instantly whether I was a surprise. If [ was not expected 1 would be requested by one of the oficers of the iostitution to call in again, an hour or so later, or the next morn- ing, when the president or assistant cashier or somebody else would be there, as it was desired that hoshould bo present to go over the assets with me. At flrst 1 was staved off without exciting my suspicions. Finally I cmwe to the conclusion that time was wanted more than the presenceof the officers named, and I rofused to wait in some instances. Theu it was, and only then that [ found things as they snould uot have been, Not once did I find affairs out of gear when time or delay was not asked.” Rascality in national bunks 1s found the samo as in privato banks, but it 1s the most common in the latter. 1t has boen discovered that cash is moro often stolen from national than private banks, showing conclusively two things: First, that the book examina- tious of national bauks are more thorough thau in private ones, and secondly, that a coudition of bad affairs oxists for a less feriod of time in national thun private banks, t shows, too, that thore is not a suflicieat care exercised in the counting of cash, In each of the failures during the past fow months, notably in Boston and Philadelphia, It has been claimed by the examiners that they reported the = dangerous coudition months before the banks were closed and that much could have been saved by earlier olosings. These statements have been the ground for severe criticism of Comptrollor Lacoy, who has been held by some of the persons directly interested to not be compe tent to make an efticient ofcer. It should be borne in miud, however, that thero are always two sides to the closing of A bank. The ofcers, stockholders and mauy of the depositors interested “ sk the comptroller not to close when there s danger of it; promises are mado for repar- ation, aud in most isstances where these re quests are made thoy are complied with, 1t 18 8 serious thing to close a bauk, and wreck men. Many outside interests are uffected. Often runs &re made on other banks and sther,interests are rulned. Itis tho business of the comptroller to exercise the best judg- ment and stand for the greatest number of interested perso Tt thus heppens that no matter which way the comptroller turns, he will be subject to criticiswa. It has been beld, WasniNeroN Burewv or Tue Bee, } however, that no steps have been taken for many yours toward a more perfect system ‘of examination, and that while rascality has taken = advancea steps and new metkods invented for circum- venting the federal oficers, the same old methods aren use for detecting the new fraud. There will very likely be an entire new tem invented for not ouly the examina- tion of banks but their control. There will be & system of exchange of examiners from one district to unother adopted. Special ox- aminations by new men and_experts will be made at unexpected moments. The largest possible latitude is afforded for the enlarge- ment of the systew, us the expense is a smail matter, since there is such great interest in- volved, uand the government's conuection with the system of bankirg is a great source of financial profit. Ivis understood that the president believes there should be more stringent laws holding the ofticers of bauks to account for offenses committed and omitted—that is for the crimes they commit themselves or suffer others to perpetrate. It is very likely that there will be few figureheads in national bank directcries aud in other positions after the revision of the national bank laws promisea bas been effected. There will be more strict examinations, A standard will be set up lor the selection of a comptroller of the currency which will require a wan who has had actual experience bobind the counter of a bank, Who is an_ex- pertn ledger accounts, who knows the prac- tical operation of exchange, trausfers, and who can ‘g0 through’ a bank in times of distress with a pruning fork in one hand and @ puir of handcuffs in the other. The na- tioual banking system is almost perfect, the best in the world, but it has recently been found that improvements are needed to do- tect rascalities aua approhend the rascals, Chicago Wants the Eurth, Chicago is going to make an effort to get the republican nauowal convention again next yoar, but she will uot go at it with the con- viction that she will succeed. Senator Cul- lom has written his friends ut the windy eity that if they have hopes of securing the con- vention they must organize a campaign, as other cities are doing, with muny temptations. There is a_general fecling that’ Chicago has had enough conventions aud should be con- tent with the fair, Omaha 1s coming to the front handsomoly, and if u vote was taken by the committee it is believed the convention would be held at the wetropolis of Nebraska. Several of the most prominent members of tho national republican commit- teo bave privately expressed the belief that Omana will get’ the convention, and have openly said that tho ouly thing in’ the way, 50 far as thoy could see, was an inpression that there might not be'enough hotel uccom- modation, It is understood that Omaba is at work on the subject, San Francisco and Cincinzati aro the leading aspirants outside of Chicago and Owmaha, although Miuneapo- lisaud Philadelphia will have their support there, Thero are one or two inducemonts veing offered by San Francisco which will have their inflience, and other cities desir- ing the convention will have to offset them. She proposes to furnish free hotel accom modutions and also {ree trausportation both ways to delegates after they airive at the longitudinal line of Denver,” and make the best hotel accommodations as nearly nominal as possible. Knowing the hospitality of the California folks a trip o the coast” will be very desirable under those auspices. Ciucin- natl 1ies in the center of population and will be supported by the southern members of the committee, The nationul committeo convenes here three weeks from next Monday, Novem- ver 23, and will then fix the time for holding tho nomination convention and will detormine the place. Preparing for Congress. Everything portable baving boon over- hauled at the capitol, everything is in readi- ness for the convening of congress on the first Monday in December. New carpets and paiuting are noticeable overywhere, Since congress will be in session five weoks from next Monday, the speakersbip cumpaign is expected 10 be in full blast by weak after noxt. Headquarters for the leading candi- dates will be opened next weok. @ repub- licans will give their complimentary voie to ex-Speaker Kood. The speakership lies be- tween Messrs. Mills of Texas and Crisp of Georgla. Were it not for the brittle temper of Mr. Mills snd his hot-headedness he would, it is thought, be an eusy winuer, Judge Schofle!d's Succcssor. Next week the vecaucy on the court of claims, created some months ago by tho death of Judge Schofield, 1t is oxpected, will surely be filled. It has peen regarded as a pretty sure thing that ex-Congressman Thompson ot Fortsmouth, O., would be given the place, but the fact that Attorney General Miller spent some hours with the president yestor- day going over the applications and indorso- meuts of various men, is regarded as an indication that Thompson had not beon fixed upon yory securely, 1Itis still thought thav ex-Congressman_Clements of Georgia and Gear of Townare to be appointed on_the Intorstate Commerce commission, provided ieorge M. Lambertson of Lincoln Is not thought to be the botter fitted for the revublican place, as his education and experience have been niore directly in that line than those of the Iowalan. California’s Ambition. 1t is said in circles where such secrots are likely to congregate that if the two United States senators from Califorcia would join in urging the appointment of Mr. Esteo of their state ho could be secretary of war. Senator Felton was at tho white house this morning to ask Mr. Estee's appontment, but it is reported that Senator Stanford wants an- other. The Pacific siope is without a repre- seutative in the cabinet. Mr. Estee1s held in high estecm by the prosident and it 18 believed that his appointment as sec- retary of war would be popular from every standpoint. Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire also called upon President Harrison this morning, probably to empha- sizo his eudorsoment of ex-Governor Chaney of his state whom, it is goeuerally thought, will be appointed if the California senators do no get together on Estee or ono other mau. Miscellaneous, War dopartment officials say that there is no real foundation for the report that the Department of the Platte is to be abolished or divided and Colorado put back into the Departmeut of Avizona, Thoy say it grows out of some dissatistaction on the part of the commanding officer at Denver and some frie- tion 1n Arizona, but so far as can be ascer- tained at the War department no thought is entertained of making such cbanges as indi- cated. Charles Frye was today appointed post- master at Yarmouth, Des Moines county, Ia., vice O. Oberman, resignea. V. K. Jones of Dubuque, Ia., is here. J. L. Cridwell of Lincoin is at the Willard.

Boycott of the Chicags> & Alton Failed to Work, LINES ~ SECRETLY VIOLATING RULES. Developments Indicase That the Asso- ciation Agreement Was of No Valuo—How the Agents Did the Work. Citcaco Bureau or Tie Bre, } Ciucaao, TIL, Nov. 7. Certain eastern lines are resuming the pay- ments of commissions to eastern agents with such alacrity and so opeuly that those mest deeply interested in the Alton boycott aro rapidly losing heart. Circulars and tele- grams glving any amount of information on the subject are coming to the Chicago gen- cral passenger agents every day. T'he latest news accuses noless than three lines of mak- ing liveral offers to tickot sellers in this city on New York and Boston travel and all are said to bo offering agonts nducements. Tho strange part of the matter is that ofi- cials who fight against commissions know theso things, yet make no charges against the violators, Tho board of rulings is apparently powerless to do anythiug. 1t is claimed that the Nickle Plate, which be- longs to and is a part of the Vanderoilt sys- tem, has never stopped paying commissions. In the meantime the Alton is said to be doing more business than ever, notwithstanding tho bogcott. The board of rulings hopos to be ablo to do something at their next meot- ing, but the outlook at present is not encour- aging. Armed with such evidence as the Burlington peoplo-furnished, Chairman Fin- ley 1s pushing an investigation against the Rock Island, which has been charged with manipulating west-bound rates by having its tickots on sale in tha brokers' offices. ““Tho three cases first specified,” & Bur lington official said today, “‘are nothing com- pared to many others that have been dis- covered.” Will Limit the Supply. 1t was reported today that no moro In- diana coal will be shipped this season, also that 7,000 miners have been thrown out of work, Wrangling Over Quotations, The necessary twenty-five members have signed a call for a spevial meeting of the Boara of Trado to consider the resolution of the directors prohibiting members from send- g out continuous market quotations. 'Lho meoting will be held Thursday next at 3 o'clock in the call board, voom. This is the outcome of the contenlion between Mr. Lindbloom and tne ofticers of the board, 1t the meeting deoides against the position of the officers Mr. Lindbloom will have lnluin sailing, If the mewvers decide to ad here to the old policy, offending members will be linble to censure, suspension or ex- pulsion, as the directors may deem best. Report was current this morning to the effect that Mr. James E. Booge, a wealthy dealer in grain of Sioux City, Ia., had be- come short on the board in Chicago and had been compelled to suspend. Inquiry among the different houses where Mr, Booge has been in the habit of negotiating bis deals, failed to elicit any confirmation of the rumor. Banker Kea Positi The anxious view of somo of Mr, Keun's creditors makes it probable that Kean will be made to answer the indictn that was found against him Jast spring. Several mouths ago State's Attorney Long- enecker said to THE BE: representative that the suit would be called up early this fall. He sala he was holding off on account of tle creditors, out inquiry among the latter and their attorneys elicited the statement tlat they have no objsct in delaying the proceedings, and some of them expressed the opiuion that they should be prosecuted. The probability is that unless the states attoruey gots an enlarged and intensified light upoa the subject the antics of Banker Kean will nevor bo answered for in a court of justice, notwithstanding the formal indictment. Defled the Courts. Tn spite of tho suprome court, Lawyer Boylo and_the election commissioners, ono woman got in a vote in the Fourteenth ward lzst Tuesday.
