rSrSCUI. TZLEOKAK TO THE DISTATCH-l
Rochester, Jauuary 6. The American
Association of Baseball Clubs, rent in
twain by the November combine at New
York, palled itself together to-day in excel
lent style and formally organized for the
season of 1890. There was a full represen
tation oi all the cities present and the lobby
ot the Livingston Hotel was filled all day with
baseball magnates, managers and plavers.
It appears that at that conference, after
Brooklyn, Cincinnati, Baltimore and Kansas
City had deserted, Syracuse was chosen to fill
one of the vacancies, and ordered to furnish a
bond for the fulfillment of its engagements.
The bond had not been filed with President
Phelps up to this meeting, and impression pre
Tailed among the Western delegates, at least,
that Syracuse did not care to enter the Asso
ciation, but would stay in the International
league. Upon arrival here Mr. Frazier claimed
that tender was not maae conditional npon
the tiling of the bond, but that the Syracuse
people were ready to execute such an instru
ment. FOB SUNDAT J5AMES.
Arrangements had been made for Sunday
games four miles from Syracuse, where the
People's Street Car Company had grounds on
the lake shore, and the owners of the club
were eager to become members. There was
considerable lobbying in the interest of the
new clubs to the end that they should have a
proper representation on the various commit
tees, as under the organization perfected at
New York only St. Louis, Colum
bus, the Athletics and Louisville had
places -on snch committees. Particu
larly was this true concerning the
Schedule Committee made up of Philadelphia,
St. Louis and Louisville. It was deemed best
that Von der Abe should retire from this com
mittee in order that the enemies of the Asso
ciation might not charge that he was running
the new body as it was alleged be did the old
one to bis own personal ends, and to case the
young members of the hallucination that the
Association was In the same old rut.
The Association met promptly at 11 o'clock in
Parlor 260 of the Livingston Hotel, President
Phelps In the chair, and all the clubs repre
sented. TtUASa TJP THE VACANCIES.
The first thing in order being the question of
filling the two vacancies. Ueorge K. Frazier,
of Syracuse, said that city was ready to execute
the required bondandplaceastrong team in the
field. He made a fair presentation of the
claims of Syracuse, and on motion the bond
-was accepted and Syracuse formally elected to
membership. For the other vacancy in the
Kastern circuit President Phelps presented a
letter from Manager Barnie, of Baltimore, ask
ing for admission on condition thattbe roster be
maae up of 12 clubs. This proposition brought
out'a long debate, and by unanimons vote the
membership was fixed at eight dubs. The
Baltimore proposition was thereupon tabled.
Letters were also read from Washington,
Brooklyn and Newark, N. J. The Washington
syndicate agreed to place a team in that city in
case the National League did not do so, and
Brooklyn and Newark both made formal appli
cation lor admission. Owinc to the lack of in
formation as to the financial status of the gen
tlemen backing the enterprise in the&e cities
the whole matter of selecting the eighth club,
was left to the Finance Committee.
MUST ACT AT OSCE.
That body was empowered to act at once and
communicate with President Phelps. The va
cancy will be filled in a few days. Vice Presi
dent Lazarus suggested that as Rochester,
Toledo and Syracuse had no representation en
the committees selected in November, that all
these committees resign and give the new cities
tbetrproper representation. It was so ordered
and General Henry Brinker, of Rochester, was
elected Vice President In place of C. Born, Jr.,
of Columbus. The committees were made up
as follows:
Board of Directors Athletic, Toledo, St.
Louis and Columbus. The latter city stepped
ont in favor of Syracuse. Joint Rules Louis
ville, Columbus and Rochester. Board of Ar
bitrationAllen W. Thurman, of Columbus:
the Hon John O'Neill, of St. Loui and Zach.
Phelps, of Louisville; Finance Committee W.
H. Whittaker, Chris Von der Ahe, Ralph Laz
arus and Zach PhelDS. Schedule Committee
Athletic, Columbus and Louisville. In the
matter of umpires President Phelps reported
be bad received a number of applications for
places. The question of salaries was dis
cussed, and an agreement made that no ex
travagant figures be paid the coming season,
the sum of 6,000 being voted for such ex
pense. SINGLE UMPIRE STSTEM.
The double umpire system was not adopted,
although it had some advocates. President
Phelps was authorized to employ four umpires,
whose aggregate salary should not exceed the
amount appropriated. The per cent paid to
visiting clubs was fixed at 40, with'an equal
division of the gate receipts on the Fourth of
July and Decoration Day, with a guarantee of
$100. All umpires most wear uniform and in
form the agent of the home team by 10.30
o'clock on the day of the game if not able to
act. The President was authorized to have
each club execute a bona for $10,000 that they
will complete the season.
The Schedule Committee will meet at the
Leland Hotel, Syracuse, on March 10. One
hundred and forty games will be played. The
following applicants for umpireships were an
nounced to-night by President Phelps:
Josh Battin, Syracuse: Robert Emslie. St.
Thomas, Canada; Larry Corcoran, Newark. N.

FOI HUKTERS C0KYICTED.
They Are Fined for Undue Cruelty to Sir
Reynard.
rsrxcxAi telxghjlM to thx dispatch.!
Philadelphia. January 6. About a
month ago the woman's branch oft
the Society for Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals received information that the
Radnor Hunt Club were guilty of cruelty to a
fox which they bad used at a hunt held
on the 23rd of last November. The informant
went on to state that the fox had been held in
confinement for several months before the
meet, and bad been partially domesticated, so
that when it was liberated it refused to run
and was kicked and beaten by the servants of
the club.
The society immediately made an investiga
tion and fonnd that a bagged fox had been
used, and they decided to prosecute the club
on the ground that a tame animal
bad been chased by tho hounds and
killed with unwarrantable cruelty.
II. K. Currier, agent for the soclety.swore ont
warrants on the 26th of last December for the
arrest of John Delanev and John Matthews,
two men in the employ of the club, who, he al
leged, had been seen with the bagged fox, and
had kicked and beaten it when they liberated it
at the meet.
Tbey were arrested and had a hearing at 10.30
this morning beforo 'Squire J. Owen Vetter. of
Ardmore. The interest in the affair was so
great that the 'Squire's office was not large
enough to hold the crowd of people who came
to the hearing, so the proceedings were held in
the Oddfellows' HalL
After hearing the evidence and eloqnent
speeches by lawyers on both sides, 'Squire Yet
ter announced that he wonld fine each man 20
and costs as a penalty for tho offense.
The announcement caused considerable sur
prise among the audience, as it is the extreme
penalty that can be imposed for cruelty to any
animal. Charles Mather, the master of tho
honnds of the club, expressed great surprise
at the decision. "Why. they are only servants,"
he said: "Thev ought not to be punished as
severely as that." Later in the afternoon Mr.
Mather was at bis business office. 231 Walnut
street, and said: "We shall eertalnly take the
case into the courts." said be, "because the
whole prosecution is unwarranted."
GOOD LIVE BIRD SHOOTING.
Two Interesting S erpstnkes Among the
Locnl Cbnmpions.
There were two interesting shooting contests
at live birds yesterday at Brunot's Island, viz.:
Two sweepstakes at $25 and 10 per man re
spectively. In each contest the same four con
testants took part and the shooting was good.
The chief event was that of 23 each. It was
originally intended thatthis sweepstake should
be at 23 birds each, bnt when that number had
been shot at it was mutually agreed for each
man to shoot at five additional birds. The win.
ner turned up in Mr. E. E. Sbaner, who killed
26 of the 30. The use of both barrels was al
lowed and Mr. Sbaner won by patient and
steady shooting. The winner took GO and the
second man 40 per cent of the 100. Following
is the score :

0'LEAEI AND il'BEIDE.
They Will Fight February 10 at Buffalo or
w Orlean.
:f rECIAL TELEOKAM TO Tmt DISFATCB.1
New York, January 6. Dave O'Leary, who
is matched to fight Paddy McBnde is now
within four pounds of the weight in which he
will enter the ring on February 10. Eddie
Sweeney, his trainer.ls working hard faithfully
to have O'Leary in prime condition. Two
offers have been received for the fight, one of
S630from the Audono Club of New Orleans, and
one of JJOO from the Buffalo Athletic Club.
O'Leary's backers prefer the Buffalo club and
are willing to accept the offer.
The matter is now left entirely with tho men
back of McBrldo who may want to confine
themselves strictly to the articles which say
that the fight shall take place within 60 miles of
New York City. "One thing is certain," said
O'Leary's trainer to a Dispatcii man to-day:
"If onr man wins he will be pitted against any
122 ponnd man in the world, Larkins preferred
to any man that breathes."
McBride's chief backer is in this city and he
is w tiling for the fight to take place at New
Orleans. He may be willing, however, to go to
Buffalo, as the expense of going there will be
comparatively small. SPOBTma Ed.
ENTHUSIASTS DISAPPOINTED.
Some Opinions About the National League's
Case Against Ward.
There was considerable disappointment
among local baseball enthusiasts yesterday
when it was known that the Ward injunction
case was not heard. League and Brotherhood
partisans were on the tip-toe ot expectation as
to the result. Brotherhood supporters, how
ever, are confident that the case will end in a
great defeat for the League.
There is, however, another feature of it that
has not been dealt with. Assuming that the
injunction Is granted, and that other injunc
tions are also granted. It probably will not be
well for the League and th$ national game if
players are forced to play in an organization
that they have already tried to wreck. If
tbey are forced by law to play with the League,
or not at all. It cannot be expected that they
will have their hearts in their work, and with
out that their work will not be of very good
quality. "Forced grass is ill to grow" Is an
old and true adage, and it is problematical
whether the Leaeuo would be any better off
should the law give it the power that it de
mands.
Ln Binncbe In Trouble.
San Francisco, January 6. George La
Blanche is in a pdck of trouble oyer sundry
suits filed against him. One is for a barrel of
whisky from Keifer, delivered at the La
Blanche saloon while George was absent, and
which he claims be never ordered. Pierre
Jacobs, a bartender, has sned him for back sal
ary, and a prominent attorney Is drawing up
fiapers in a third suit for heavy damages for
IbeU Dempsey's friends contemplate the situ
tion with pleasure. One suggested that the
Nonpareil buy up all these complaints, press
them to the utmost, force him into bankruptcy.
If possible, and make a meeting for blood be
tween the rivals inevitable. Joe McAuliffe
will take Carroll's place as trainer for the Cali
fornia Athletic Club while Carroll goes ln
training to meet McAuliffe.
Still No Injunction.
rSriCIJLI. TELXOROC TO TBK DISrjLTCa.1
New York, January 6. The case of the New
York Club against J. M. Ward did not come op
for bearing before Judge O'Brien to-day. Some
of the counsel engaged had important business
elsewhere. The case will be heard on Thurs
day. If no temporary Injunction is granted
the case will be taken to the United States
Court.

And the bomb is still to go off yet.

words attributed to him ln the Waterbury in

promised to sign it a permanent injunction
against Ward was granted.
Jim Mutkie has figured out the expense of
the New York PKyers' League club for 1S90 at

"Washington, Jannary 6. Senator
Quay and Representatives Dalzelland Bay,
the Pennsylvania members, of Congress who
have been ill with the grip,- were all in their
seats to-day at the Capitol, but were not
feeling particularly energetic They have
conquered the arch-fiend, however, and at
this writing no other member from the Key
stone State appears to be a target for attack.
In the Senate Mr. Cameron introduced a
bill for the erection at Chester. Fa., of a
public building, to cost $100,000, and a bill
to indemnity the State of Pennsylvania for
money expended in 1861 ior militia called
into the military service of the United
States by the Governor under the Presi
dental proclamation of the preceding year.
SOME LOCAL MEASURES.
Mr. Quay introduced a bill to pay $2,800
to John Armstrong, who in 1881 was em
ployed, among others, by Mr. C. E. Glea
sou, then postmaster at Corry, Pa., to help
carry a large iron safe into the postoffice.
The safe fell on Armstrong's leg, crashing
it and depriving him ot the use of it. He
was working for the Government at the
time. Mr. Quay also offered a bill for the
erection of a public building at Beaver
Palls at a cost of 550,000.
In the Honse, Mr. Townsend introduced
a bill for a pnblic building at New Castle,
Pa., to cost $30,000; another to pension John
M. Hutchison, and a third to remove the
charges of desertion from the military
record of Charles Boden. Mr. Bingham in
troduced a bill to authorize the Secretary of
the Treasury to sell the site of the present
Public Mint, in Philadelphia, and to pur
chase another site and erect another build
ing for the Government Mint. Mr. Bay
had a bill to pay $2,100 to William B. Mor
gan for his salary as disbursing officer of
the United States Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey. TROUBLESOME MATTERS.
The subject of poetoffices is still troubling
the souls of Congressmen Culbertson, Bay
and Watson. The first says that to the bes't
of his belief Senator Quay is not interfering
with the offices in his district, but he is not
ceasing to watch him. He is still determ
ined to appoint Dr. Uilmore to the Titus
ville postoffice, bnt he is uncertain as to
when the appointment will be made.
Mr. Bay had two oi his constituents down
here to-day, in connection with the fight
over the office at McKeesport. Mr. Stow,
one of the candidates, and Mr. Caruthers, a
friend, came down to try and hurry the de
partment authorities along. Mr. Watson
expects an appointment to be made soon in
the Oil City postoffice, but he is non-committal
as to whonVit will be.

How the Grip U Certain to Knock
Oat
Working Quorum.
tntOM A BTXTT CORBESFONDENT.I
Washington, January 6. The influ
enza is playing havoc in the departments,
and many prominent officials hare dropped
out of their chairs since Saturday. Secre
tary Windom was not able to appear at
the Treasury Department to-day. Public
Printer Palmer and Mrs. Palmer are both
suffering intensely. Private Secretary Hal
ford was seized while in his office chair at
the White House, to-day, hut up to the
present time his is a sneezing rather than an
aching attack.
Every physician in the city complains of
being fagged out with attendanceon gripped
patients. The small attendance at Congress
to-day was due to the operations of the epi
demic, and it is increasing its victims so
rapidly tnat unless some change occurs
which will clear the poison from the atmo
sphere, everyone looks forward to a virtual
cessation of business in Congress. So long
as there is less than a quorum, only such
business can be transacted as will not pro
voke any member of the minority to make
the point of "no quorum," and that means
that no rules can be adopted, and that noth
ing can be done which will invite a party
division. y
It is safe to predict that the operations of
the grip will result in delaying work in a
manner that will materially prolong the
session of Congress.
SUNDAY DEINKS FOE WASHINGTON.
No
Law to Prevent Georgetown Saloons
Keeping Open Ererr Dn.y.1
rFKOtt X 6TJLPT COBRESFOHDEHT.1
Washington, Jauuary 6. A curious
decision of the Supreme Court of the District,
to-day, will probably have the effect to wake
up sleepy old Georgetown for at least one
day ot the week; and make it the liveliest
spot in the District. For 30 years a law sup
posed to exist against the sale of liquor on
Sunday has been enforced. Sometime ago a
liquor seller was arrested who secured par
ticularly shrewd counsel, and in the course
of his investigation of the law he discovered,
so he thought, that no law existed asrainst
the Sunday sale of liquor. This view of the
matter was so successiully presented to the
court that the case was decided in favor of
the defendant.
As the energy of the temperance people
and the police have closed every saloon in
Washington on Sunday, and thirsty mor
tals can seenrs drinks only by taking a
dinner or a luncheon at hotels or eating
houses, the decision in the Georgetown case
will cause an exodus to this ancient city on
Sunday, as. doubtless, everv saloon in the
place will be thrown open until a new law
is passed for their regulation.
DIFFERENT IDEAS OF EEED.
A West Virginia Congressman Thinks tbe
(speaker Not a Bilter Partisan.
IFBOH X BTXTT COEBISPOSDXHT. 1
Washington, January 6. Congress
man Pendleton, of West Virginia, entertains
a different opinion of Mr. Eeed, in his ca
pacity of Speaker of the 'House, than that
held by many of his colleagues. He said
to-day: "I do not believe that Mr. Eeed
will do any of the high-handed partisan
acts which he is accused of contemplating
against the minority. On the contrary, I
expect that he will be entirely impartial in
his rulings from the chair. It has been the
history ol his predecessors in the Speaker
ship, that when they have been extreme in
their partisanship on the floor, on their ele
vation to the Chair tbey have been strictly
impartial, and I don't believe that Mr.
Eeed will be an exception."
Mr. Pendleton was asked whether he had
heard anything of the Republican plan to
settle the three West Virginia contested
election cases before any rules are adopted
by the House. He said: "I have heard
no more than newspaper comment about it
I suppose the attention they are payinzto
the West Virginia cases arises from the fact
that our Legislature meets soon, and they
hope to influence several votes in favor of
Goffi, their Gubernatorial candidate, by
holding op these three cases. If this is
their object, I don't believe that it will
affect a single rote."
A TEEI GRACEFUL THING.
Rx-Speaker Carlisle Has a Mark of tte
peet Shown Ex-Speaker Randall.
CTEOM A &TXTT COMEPOITPINT.
Washington, January 6. Ex-Speaker
Carlisle did a graceful thing to-day in in
troducing a resolution authorizing Mr. Ban
dall to receive the oath of membership at
his house, on acconnt of his sickness. Two
other sick members were included in the
resolution, which was promptly adopted.
In accordance with this authority,
Speaker Eeed sent Mr. Bandall anote this
afternoon informing him of the action of the
House.and asking him to fix an hour when it
would be convenient for him to be sworn
in. Eleven o'clock to-morrow morning was
the time selected, and at that hour the
Speaker in person will go to Mr. Bandall's
house and administer the oath.
This is a mark of consideration not often
shown by the House to one of its members,
and it will enable Mr. Bandall to make use
of his stationery and mileage account.
ONE OF CHICAGO'S SCHEMES
To Secure the World's Fair, but New York
Expects to Checkmate It.
rsrEcuu. txleqbax to tux disfjltcii.1
Washington, January6. The delega
tions from New York and Missouri think
they have discovered a scheme of the Illi
nois people to gam a somewhat unfair point
in the struggle for the possession of the
World's Fair. This consists in the effort now
being made by the Illinois men, to defeat
the appointment of a special World's Fair
Committee, and have the bill go to the Com
mittee on Foreign Aflairs. His plan is
dirtctly in the interests of Chicago, as the
State of Illinois has a big representation
upon this committee. The Chairman, Mr.
Hitt, is an Illinois man, and it is thought
that the committee could very easily be
turned in favor of the prairie town.
The New York and Missouri men, how
ever, have no intention of allowing this lit
tle plan to be consummated, and have been
busy getting ready to checkmate it when it
is brought forward.

Aconfebence was held yesterday after
noon in the office of Chief Bigelow between
representatives of the city, including Mr. Bige
low. and the Pittsburg Incline Company in
reference to the construction, of the incline
tracks over Baxter street, between South
.Eleventh and South Twelfth streets. The com
pany desired permission to construct their in
cline within 12 feet of the street, in the center,
which would be only about 11 feet on the lower
side. Mr. Bigelow refused to consider any
proposition for less than 14 feet of clear space
netween tbe street and the incline, althonrh
the company maintained that it coula not ar
range Its plans to the grade that would require.
Finally, however, the company proposed to
grade and'pavo Baxter street, from Eleventh
to Twelfth streets, with block stone at their
own expense if they would be allowed to grade
sufficiently to make the required space under
neath the incline. Chief Bigelow said be-would
consider this plan and engineers were sent over
to make a survey to see if it would be feasible.
Another conference will be held this morning
and the matter will probably be settled.
Chief-Beown last evening received the
first official notice from the Allegheny City
Fire Committee that that city was in line
for tbe proposed test of fire engines. The
chief and Mr. Vandervelt, his representa
tive on the Board of Judges who are to pass
on the merits of the engines in the test, called
on Superintendent Ed. Armstrong, of the Alle
gheny Water Department yesterday afternoon.
After an introduction tbe gentlemen talked
over the anestion and both Mr. Vandervelt and
Mr. Armstrong agreed that the test should be
conducted in such a way as to bring out all the
good and all the bad points of tbe different
engines. They were in favor of work
ing the engines in all tbe positions
and under tbe same circumstances tbey
would be expected to be at any big
fire. President McCandless, of the Board of
Fire Underwriters, as soon as he learned that
tbe judges representing the two cities had been
appointed, at once notified the interested
parties that a meeting of the underwriters
would be held at his office at 11 o'clock this
morning, when Messr&xArmstrong and Vander
velt wonld be expected to be present, and the
underwriters wonld name their representative
on the Board of Judges. Both gentlemen ex
pressed themselves as satisfied with the arrange
ment. Chief Brown said last night thafhe was
well pleased with the arrangements as far as
tbey have gone. He would be. satisfied with
the arrangements made by the Board of Judges,
only if tbey decided to make the test ln Alle
gheny, he would expect the city ot Allegheny
to furnish ample police protection, for there
would be from 40.000 to 60.000 people pres
ent at the test, be bad no doubt. If Pittsburg
was selected for the test he would guarantee
ample police surveillance. The Chief said he
was perfectly willing for the Clapp &. Jones en.
gines to have a place ln the competition, or any
other first-class make of machine.
TWO HISTORICAL PlCTDBES.
A Reminder of How John Dlorrlssey Was
Led to Fortune.
A local sporting man has ln his possession
two oil paintings that have quite an interesting
history indirectly connected with them. One
is "Summer Time," and shows a man driving
the famous team Happy Jack and Big Mary
along a road of tbe most picturesque kind. The
other is "Winter Time," and shows Big Mary
and Hotspur hitched to a sleigh. All three
horses are well known to patrons of trotting
who can remember a few years back.
The pictures were painted for Mat Miller, at
one time the king of policy men in Philadel
phia, and cost considerable money. Mr. Miller
some years ago presented the Pittsburger
with tbe pictures. John Mornssey, the
old time pugilist, saw tbe pictures and
subequently bought the mare Big Mary, pay
ing $1,000 for her. Ho presented her to the late
Mr. Vanderbilt, and the eift so tickled the
millionaire that he at once took a remarkable
interest ln Morrisey. The latter was given some
"inside pointers" about commercial deals, and
soon became wealthy. Finally be was elected
to Congress, and bis stanch friend was Mr. Van
derbilt. However, a cross in politics caused Mr,
Vanderbilt to sever his friendship with Morris
ey, and tbe latter was soon on the down grade
again. Big Mary was disposed of to Budd
Doble, and the mare's name will never be re
membered without recalline the fortunes nf
, John Morrisey.
BULLION AS A BASIS.
Ex-Controller Enox Would Have It
Take the Place of Bonds
TO SECDEB BANK CIRCULATION.
A Safety Fund Provided for by the Reducing
ef National Currency.
HE POINTS OUT GOYEENMENT LOSS
And Explains Why Be Thinks His Bill Bhonld be
Enacted by Congress.
John Jay Knox presents the full text of a
proposed bill to make silver bullion the
basis of national bank circulation. He also
points ont how money would be saved by
the Government by creating a national bank
safety fund.
New YOBK, Jannary 6. John Jay Hnox,
President of tbe National Bank of the Re
public, of this city, has prepared a bill
which will be introduced in Congress within
the next few days. The principal object of
it is to provide for the use oi silver bullion
as a basis for national bank circulation.
The bill provides:
That from and after the passage of this act
every national bank, now organized or which
shall hereafter be organized, shall be author
ized to issue circulating notes as now provided
by law, in amounts not exceeding 75 per centum
of the capital stock of each bank. H
Section 2 That not less than 70 per cent of
the circulating notes authorized to be issued by
each bank under this act shall be seenred. by
United States bonds, at the rate of 100 per cent,
upon the par value of snch bonds,provided that
at the option of each bank one-half of such cir
culation of 70 per cent may be secured by a de
posit with the Treasurer of tbe United States,
under such regulations as may be prescribed by
the Secretary of the Treasury, of gold coin or
bullion or of silver bullion, at the current mar
ket price of such bullion at the time of deposit.
PBOVIDING FOB DEPBECIATION.
Whenever the market or cash value of
bullion and of United States bonds deposited
with the Treasurer Is reduced belowtbeamount
of circulation issued for the same, the Con
troller of the Currency may demand and re
ceive the amount of such depreciation in other
bullion, or in gold or silver coiu, to be depos
ited with the Treasurer, as long as such depre
ciation shall continue; or tbe amount of the
circulating notes of such bank may be rednced
by charging tbe excess of circulation to the re
demption fund, provided by section 3 of the
act of June 20, 1874.
Section 8 That an account to be designated
as "Tbe National Bank Safety Fund" is hereby
authorized to be opened on the books ot tbe
Treasurer of the United States by reducing the
amount of United States notes now outstand
ing 81,500,000 and by reducing the national bank
redemption fund 750,000 and crediting the
amount of $3,000,000 to tbe account of the said
'National Bank Safety Fund." To this fund
shall be added the duty of one-halt of 1 per
centum each half year upon tbe average
amount of national bank notes in circulaticn.
as provided in section 5214 of the Revised Stat
utes of the United State".
Section 4 That if any National Bank, after
tne passage ot this act, shall become insolvent,
and any of the circulating notes of snch bank
shall remain unpaid after the assets and
the individual liability of the shareholders of
such insolvent bank shall have been exhausted,
such circulating notes shall be redeemed and
cancelled and destroyed, as now provided by
law, and the amount of such notes shall from
time to time be charged to the "National Bank
Safety Fund," as provided in this act.
THE EX-CONTBOILEB'S ABGTTMENT.
In explanation of the provisions of the
proposed bill, Mr. Enox says:
The bill provides for the issue of bank circu
lation ln amount not exceeding 75 per cent of
the capital of each bank. Seventy per cent of this
circulation is to be absolutely secured by the
deposit of 'United States bonds at par, or of
silver bullion at the market price. The other
30 per cent is not to be seenred by a deposit of
each bank, but is to be fully secured by a safety
fund on deposit with tbe Treasurer. This
safety fund H to be opened by crediting to the
fund $1,500,000 of lost or unredeemed national
bank notes ana tne same amount oi lost or un
redeemed United States notes. The fund will
be further increased each half year by adding
to it the semi-annual tax of one-half of 1 per
cent upon circulation.
It is estimated that the lost, or unredeemed
national bank notes amount to at least 1 per
cent during every 20 years, but only one-half of
the amount estimated to oe lost is to be placed
to the credit of this fund. These lost notes do
not belong to the bank that issned them,
neither do they belong to tbe Government.
They belong to those persons who were tbe last
owners of the notes, and cannot, of course, be
restored to the owners. No other use can so
properly be made of them as to appropriate
the amount for creating a safety fund for the
redemption of insolvent national bank notes
that may not otherwise be provided for. It is
not necessary, however, that this appropriation
should be used for creating the safety fund if
serious objections are made to its use.
The ax on circulation which amounted
during tbe year 1889 to 81,410,331. is abundant
for creating and maintaining a sufficient fund
for the absolute redemption of 30 per cent of
all the issues of all the national banks.
A OBEAT RAVING OP MONEY.
The Controller, ln his report for 1883, found
by investigation that if 100 of circulation bad
been Issued dunng the first 20 years of the
national banking system upon $70 of security
the total loss from the notes of insolvent banks
could have been paid from tbe assets of
tbe banks. These losses aro verv
smalt. Tbe Controller's report for lt89
shows that during the last 25 years
the total circulation of insolvent banks
amounted to but $15,000,000; and SO per cent of
this amount would be but $4,500,000 for 25 years.
The amount of insolvent bank notes each year
on the average was $600,000, SO per cent of
which would bo $180,000 annually. The tax on
circulation during tbe past year was $1,410,331
or little less than eight timos the amount of
saieiy iuna requireu.
If the amount ot circulation Is Increased to
$200,000,000 the tax to be added to the safety
fund will be $2,000,000. If $300,000,000 it will be
$3,000,000. so that tbe amount to be added to the
safty fund annually from the tax on circula
tion, is wltbont doubt abundantly sufficient to
provide for 80 per cent of all tbe notes of the
insolvent national Denies or. tne country.
The profit on circulation under this proposi
tion wonld not be large, but it would be suffi
cient to lndnce many. If not all, ot the smaller
national banks wbicb depend on an issue of cir
culation for their profits to Induce them to de
Sosit silver bullion with the .Treasurer of tbe
nited States and take out circulation.
A PEBMANENT dBCULATION.
At the end of the next 20 years, or at the date
of the payment of the 4 per cent bonds ln 1907,
a safety fund would have accumulated of at
least $25,000,000, so that from that time onward
a sufficient amount of national bank circula
tion would remain permanently in existence
well secured by gold or silver bullion, and suffi
ciently profitable to make the circulation large
enough in connection with tbe present amount
of United States notes to respond to tbe de
mand of the business of the country. It would
also give tbe banks in the West as well as the
East, who have confidence in the future value
of silver, an opportunity to invest ln that
metal, and be believes that such investments
would be made for the next three years equal
at least to $20,000,000 annually, and thus relieve
tbe Treasury from excessive purchases.
Doran Is Very Definite.
The following definite challenge explains
Itself:
To the Sportlne Editor of The Dispatch:
Sib I understand that Mr. William Dngan, of
the Southslde, has been edifying his friends with
the statement of his ability to knock me ont ln "a
punch." 1 would tike to state tnat if be Is as conti
nent as he appears to be of his slugging ability, he
..will now come forward and back his opinion with
money. 1 am wllllnir to undertake to nrove to him
that he is mistaken ln his estimate of me. 1 will
box him ten rounds.

The Unknown Won't Run McClelland
Another Ble Challenge Issned.
The unknown's backer again failed to show
up at this office last evening to sign articles for
a three-mile race with McClelland. The lat
ter's backer, therefore, took down his S25 and
Issued the following business-like challenge,
which he hopes will not be responded to by
anybody who does not intend to make a match:
"As several parties have from time to time
Issued challenges to run E. C. McClelland and
refused to make a match when asked to do so,
the following offer is made: McClelland win
run any man in America a race of from three
to ten miles for $1,000 or $2,000 a side, three
weeks from next Saturday. To show that
business is meant a forfeit of $100 is now
deposited with the sporting editor of The
Dispatch. It is to be hoped that this will
either produce a race or stop all newspaper
talking."
The $1U0 has been received at this office.
