~ -O
The House Committee of Ways and
Means take the ground that as the bill
relating to the Fitch jewels relates to
the revenue it must originate in the
House; they will, therefore, offer a
new bill. No opposition to the meas

The bill introduced by Sargent to en-.
courage aud promote Geographic conf
munication between the United States
and Asia, authorizes the American and
East Indian Telegraph Company, OF
New York, to operate a cable on the
Pacific coast within the jurisdiction Of
the United States, for a period Of 20
years, provided the company shall
commence active operation in two
years, and shall have at least n cable
in operation from the continent to tie
Asiatic colony within the enactment OF
the bill, the Government to have pri-
ority in use of these cables; the right
to alter, amend or repeal the ACC is
vested in Congress; and the rest Of the
bill authorizes the Secretary Of the

A SENSATION IN THE CITY.

The announcement of the death or Mr
Stewart created decided sensation throughout the city,
partly from the fact that 1t was unexpected and largely
because Of the mysterious In which the connu
nieatiou was made For several days past his friends
and partners aud chief employees have carefully con
ceacd the fact that lie was dangerously III, ana nave
even asserted that he suffering simply from cold
and would be out again in day or two. For hours
after his death was known in the newspaper Offices and
even while closing the belonging TO the hrm
the managers maintained strict silence TO tho fact,
saving that they had no official information. This mys
terious reticencc vauously explained as owing to
strict orders make public nothing rela
tive 10 his Illness and To the possibility OF legal or bs
ness complications arising. Whatever tho cause his
partners and employees refused absolutely to say any
thing on the subject OF his death.
The first information received down town was by elc
graph from Police Headquarters to THE TniEvNE Office,
where bulletin announcing the fact was displayed On

naturally gathered but to all inquiries, and they were
numerous from all classes. no other Information was
given than that there would be more business done
during the day. Admission to the building was denied
and none Of the employees nor even Mr.. Libby himself
would admit that DR.. Stewart was dead, or give any III
formation whatever the time circumstances OF
his death. The crowd pressed constantly at
the door. repeating over and over again

A SAYINGS BANK PLUNDERED.

pEFALcATIoN OF $4,000 DISCOVERED AT THE
SECURITY SAVINGS BAsK-TLIGHr OF THE
CRIMINAL.
William NJ. Banks, Receiver of the suspended
Security Savings Bank in paying the first dividend of %
per cent to the depoors found an error In the accounts
which caused him TO compare the balance sheets with
the depositors ledger This led to tho discovery Of
defalcation OF $4,000 by John H. Sell, teller and book
keeper.
Mr. Banks, in conversation with reporter OF THE
TRIBUNE last evening said that Sell had been in the
employ OF the bank June 1872, and had had the
confidence OF all the officers. He implicitly trusted
and while bookkceper also acted Of the teers
When Mr. Banks took possession Of the books and assets
Of the bank as its receiver he issued notices to the
depositors to leave their passboOks for examination
The books and the individual accounts In the depo
iors ledger were found to agree, and Mr. Banks then
required sworn baance-sheet TO BIO made by the two
bookkeepers, Sell and another, which apparently
correct and differed nconsiderably from the balance
called for by the general ledger dividend was then
declared, and Mr. Banks on close scrutiny Of the f.
ures became Suspicious of error or fraud, and mDed
ately put experts tho books, who reported large

each and could with difficulty be made to recall the
purchases. His business acquaintance say that his
real estate operations purely business enter
prses and that he was not speculator in the COM
mon acceptation of the term. 1t is not known that
he owned at the time of his death any vacant lots In
the upper part of the island His purchases were
mostly improved property OF lots on when nc
erected buildings.
In conversation with Judge Henry Hilton last
evening he remarked that Mr.. Stewards life had
been public one, and that anything when the
public had right to know he should be glad to
communicate. He declined, however, to name Mr..
Stewards executors or to make any statements con-
corning the provisions of his WILL At suitable
time, he remarked he should be willing to give such
information on this subject might be desired, but
in declining for the present to speak with reference
to the matter he felt sure that he was consulting
what would have been Mr. Stewards wishes. lie
said that Mr. Stewart the last OF his race, nav
ing not a single blood relative IN the world lie nad
to certain extent kept up the friendship OF MS
early life and he retained to the last an especial
affection for certain old friends living in the vicinity
of his birthplace. Judge Hilton said that 1t womb
be impossible at present to give with any complete
ness a statement of Mr.. Stewards property or to
assign with any accuracy its value. lie owned a
great deal of property which he himself mad never
seen. He owned the Mohawk and Elboef Mills, at
Little Falls, n H.; the NewYork Mills. at Hoiyoke,
Mass; the Woodward Mills, at Woodstock, Conn;
and the Yantco Mills, at Yantico, N. j. lie had
branch business houses in Manchester, Paris Lyons,
and Berlin. His property interests were so extensive
and of such varied nature that it is doubtful IL
Mr. Stewart himself knew with exactness the
amount of his fortune. Judge Hilton stated that
the business would be carried on by Mr.. Stewards
business associates in accordance with his ideas and
upon his wel-known business principles.
1t is understood from another person who had bus
mess relations with Mr. Stewart that by his will he
has left to Judge Henry Hilton the future manage
ment and disposition of all his business affairs
William Libby, the only surviving partner OF Mr..
Stewart acting in accord with Judge Hilton, will
continue the business under the firm name of A. i.
Stewart g. Co. After the funeral the business will
proceed as heretofore the various manufacturers re-
suming work as usual. Already the cable has taken
messages to the various branch houses, nine III all,
in Europe and India to this effect.
