RRPoRr OF THE COMMISSIONER oB THE
BANANA BAY co.
i DR.. Samuel g.. Howe, resident Com.
missioner of the Samana Bay Co. hos
forwarded to the directors of the Compa-
ny here detailed statement OF the pro
ceedings of the new government of San
domingo with respect to the Company.
He says that the Dominion government
made the non-payment of rent the pretext
for ejecttng the Company, but that the
real, though secret, cause of the action is
the determination Of the British and Eu-
ropean powers, acting through their COM
mercial and political agents, to prevent
the prevalence of American influence and
institutions over San Domingo and the
surrounding islands by means of the
Samana Bay Co. Meantime, he adds
'Let the real friends Of this great plan
for the development Of the vast resources
of this magnificent island, under Ameri-
can influences, for the extension of COM
merce, for the spread of freedom, for the
destruction of slavery in Cuba and Porto
Rico, not abste iot of hope or heart in
following in the road already opened, for
it is well known that the Samana Bay
Co. was the result of the labors of such
persons during the last score OF years.
AN IMPORTANT eUrr.
Iniiiatory steps were taken yesterday
in a suit in the Supreme Court in this
city IN which Milard N. Simpson is plain
tiff and the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany, Jay Gould, Sidney Dillon and
others are defendants, to compel the
latter defendants as stock holders 10 make
the payment of subscriptions to the stock
to meet the claims OF the creditors. The
plaintiff asks Tor an Injunction to restrain
a transfer by responsible parties of the
record to persons not able to respond for
part OF the stock. Only SO, ,000O 600 are
involved IN this suit. The complaint
alleges that the Company first borrowed
some $40 O00, 600 of money on the income
bonds and made them lien on all their
property after the first mortgage and land
grant bonds, but neglected to record the
deed OF trust by which this lien was
created and now the Company proposes
to borrow SIC, ,000,0O more and to give 3
mortgage that shall cut off the lenders on
the income bonds, who supposed they
held deed OF trust to secure their loan.

MORE NEED FOR INVESTIGATION.
The Herald publishes list of warrants
drawn for contingencies in Comptroller
Green's Office between November 1872,
and September 1873, and says it appears
to be as necessary to investigate frauds
under the. reform as under the TammAny
rules. One investigator received over
$4,000 in about three months, another over
$500 in nine months, and stiIl another
got $3, 800 in the same time, besides $2,-I
600 additional from the Board of Appar-
ttonment Fund. The Herald says that
the tax payers should investigate the in
vestigators, and adds that the Comptrol-
lers office cost last year for running ex-
penses $50 1000 more than In 1868 under |
the corrupt ring rules.
NATIONAL CONVENTION OF FIRE UNDER
WRITER'S ENDORSE THE VETO OF TIE
- INFLATIoN BILL.
The Convention of the National Board |
of Fire Underwriters resumed its session
this morning. After the routine of busi-
ness was disposed Of, e. D. Halton, Vice
President OF the Northwestern Insurance
Company, ofMilwaukee, introduced res
olution of thanks to President Grant for
his veto of the financial bill. Mr.. Holton
said he came from the West, which had
been greatly misrepresented in the mat
ter, and as for himself, he regarded every
dollar of the currency as rotten.
The following is the resolution, which
was adopted amid uproarious applause:
Resolred, That the members of this
Board, representing $4,000, 600 of In
surance capital of the country, without
respect to party desire, do express our
satisfaction with the action OF the Presi-
dent OF the United States in Vetoing the
initiation bill, SO called, which, in the
opinion of this Board, puts in peril, not
only the welfare of the capital we repre-
sent, but threatens ruin and disaster to the
great commercial and industrial interests
of the country at large.
