The official condition of the national
banks of the whole country Oh the 26th OF
December last, compared with the report
of their condition ON the 9th of Decem-
Der the year before, show the following
difference in their leading items The
number of banks was increased during the
year from 1910 to 1876, and the capital
from s4S2, 606,2j to $3.50, 266,61i or
about ! per cent The deposits show
reduction of s57 600, 900, which is partly
to be accounted for from decline in the
loans and discounts of S2S 300 900, and
partly from the lack of confidence in the
banks. The amount "due from redeeming
and reserve agents shows reduction of
Sl3,i00,000, indicating the extent the
country banks had withdrawn their funds
deposited with their redemption agents.
The loans and discounts on September IL
were 1914 100000 and on the LIST of
November had fallen to s777 600, 900, a
reduction of sl6G,600000. The change
in the individual deposits between Septem-
Der II and December 26 was from S622,
800 900 to $40, 100000, reduction of
So, 100000 The specie in all the banks
in the year increased nearly eight million
dollars, legal tender notes nearly four and
half millions. The capital stock in-
creased over seven and half millions and
the total of surplus fund over nine and a
half millions

The investigation into the mode of
doing public work for the Municipal
Government of Washington is developing
some surprising things. 1t appears in one
ease that Congressional reporter got a
contract for erecting board fences, on
which in eight months he received $780,
900. He employed sub-contractor to do
the work for $4,000, reaped $4,000
profit, and now that an investigation is
going on he neglects to appear, having
'.gone to California for his health" In
the case of sewer for which the Federal
Treasury paid, there was much testimony
about bricks. Several witnesses testified
that they were of very inferior quality,
and that the work during its progress was
in charge of three superintendents, one of
whom was painter, another shoemaker,
and the third bricklaycr, the latter being
speedily discharged "becausc he knew too
much So long as the other two were in
charge there was no trouble, as they
always kept man on the watch for the
engineering officer who supervised the
work, and when he came in sight "caused
water to be poured on the bricks, in order
to make them look darker and better.
The Washington taxpayers are naturally
indignant at these developments.

amendment was also adopted extending the
southern boundary line Of the proposed
annexation TO low water mark on the south
SIZE Of the Patapsco, aud extending thence
across the Patapsco eastwardly on n line
with the Marine Hospital, and striking the
north shore near the mouth of Colgate
Creek. The Revenue bill was lost for
want of a constitutional majority, the vote
reconsidered, and the bill made the special
order for Thursday The House bill pro-
viding for an amendment Of the consitu-
ton in regard to the removal of criminal
cases, giving the courts discretionary pow
or except in trials for murder, was passed.
The bill appropriating 500, 900 for sur
vey of the proposed Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal across the peninsula was de-
feated.
In the House Mr.. Watkins, from ma
jority Of the Committee of WAYS and
Means, presented report insisting upon
the justice of paying Comptroller Wool
ford ~ 500 for services in drawing up the
revenue bills, but referring the subject to
the next Legislature. The House voted
to lay the report on the table. The WAYS
and Means Committee reported n new
"liquor license bill, us substitute for
that already passed by the Senate, and it
was made the special order for Thursday.
The bill to regulate the toll on passengers
and freight passing through the Potomac
tunnel limiting it at ten cents per ton and
ten cents per passenger, and also the bill
to provide for the passage of locomotives,
cars, passengers and freights over connect
ing railroads in the State, was passed.
THuRsDAY.-The Senate was chiefly
engaged on the House bill extending the
limits of Baltimore city. Senator Davis,
of Baltimore county, lead the opposition,
and deferred action until 9.25 p. m, and
the bill was passed with only one dissent
ing vote. The bill goes back to the House
for action on Senate amendments.
In the House n number of private bills
were passed; also, the General Appropria-
ton bill to meet the expenses of the State
for 1875. Mr.. MerryInan, from the
Committee ON Agriculture, reported favor
ably on the Senate bill taxing dogs. The
bill authorizing the purchase of suitable
grounds and the erection of buildings for
State Normal School was reported on
favorably. Mr.. Koons asked for sus-
pension of the rules to permit him to intro
ducc a joint resolution declaring the word
''whitc' used in the State Constitution Of
Maryland to be in contravention of the
Constitution of the United States, which
was ferrcd to the Judiciary Committee.

A FAMOUS STEER.-The Carlisle, Pa,
Herald has lately interviewed famous
steer belonging to Tobias II. Sites, of
West Pennsboro township, Cumberland
county. The steer is thoroughbred
Durham, six years old, and is said to be
the largest in the State, its measurement
being as follows Height feet inches;
circumference of the girth, . feet 8
inches from the point of the nose to the
butt, 10 feet | inches; from the top of
the wither to the butt, ! feet 3 inches,
and the brisket measures feet Accord
ing to butchers rule, this should give a
live weight of 1854 pounds, and neat
weight of 1903 pounds. This is 1928
pounds more than the weight of the
Stultzfuss steer, killed in Lancaster some
time ago. Efforts are making to induce
Mr.. Sites to keep the steer until the
centennial, when it is believed if no
accident happens, it will be the heaviest
stear eyer raised in the United States.
