A Victory for shipping Commission


In the case Of the United States agains,
the steamship City OF Mexico, tried before
Judge Benedict, of the eastern district, in
Brooklyn, in June last, the decision of the
court has Just been rendered, sustaining the
position Of the United States district attor.
ney, that the amendment of January last
to the shipping act does not exempt the
vessels engaged in trade with the West In
dies, Mexico and the British North Amer
lean possessions from the necessity of ex-
ecuting their articles of agreement with
seamen before the shipping commissioner,
Captain C. G. Duncan
The proceeding was instituted to con-
denim the steamship City OF Mexico in a
penalty for an alleged shipment of seamen
contrary to the provisions of the act of June
q, 1872, which authorizes the appointment
of shipping commissioners by the several
circuit courts Of the United States, to
superintend the shipping and discharge of
seamen. The argument on the part Of the
vessel is that the original act of 1890, which
requires an agreement in writing in a Ger.
tain form with eeamen from q port of the
United States to any foreign port, was re-
pcaled by the shipping act Of 1872. Upon
this question Judge Benedict is of the Opin-
ION that in the present condition of the
statutes no such effect can be given to the
shipping act of 1872 as to work q repeal BY
implication OF the original act Of 1890.
After a heightened review of the provisions
OF both enactments, Judge Benedict con-
ctnded that . decree should be entered
condemning the vessel in the sum of $500
ana costs.-Ner York Times.

WASHINGTON, October 4-Jay Cooke &
Co. have to-day been circulating among
their creditors here for signatures q
proposition for q settlement. 1t involves
| assignments, in trust for the benefit of all
creditors, to E. II. Rollins, late commits
sicner Of internal revenue. now of Philadel.
phia, OF all property, real or personal col
lective and individual, Of every member Of
the firm. and all interest of their wives in
any portion of the same; Mr.. Rollins to be
assisted in settling the affairs of the firm by
commission chosen by the creditors, they
to have supervisory and restraining power
over him, the entire property to be ap-
praised, and any creditor to have the right
to take the property at its appraisement
and satisfy lis claim, this, within certain.
restrictions, to be determined by the credit
ors as fast as five per cent OF the liabilities
is realized, that proportion to be paid over
to creditors. The paper was securing a
large number of signatures, the general ex-
preston of opinion being that it was much
better to allow such settlement than to
force the firm into bankruptcy. g.
The work of the week upon the affairs of
the First National leads those engaged in
making settlement to believe that the bank
will pay seventy-fve cents on the dollar,
without regard to what Jay Cooke & Co.
pay. -
The Controller Of the Currency has had
an examiner in the National Bank Of the
Metropolis for two days. This is the bank
where the district government does most of
its business. and most sensational reports
are in circulation in regard to its condition,
but as yet nothing of definite character ia
known to justify them.
