BALTIMORE, November %. - The
committee representing the banks o
Baltimore, whose conference with Sec
rotary Sherman in Washington on Sat
urday last on the subject of resumption
has already been published, submitted
to-day to the representatives of the as
sociated banks formal report of theil
interview with the Secretary, which
was most cordial, and expressing 1
hope that the frank expression of the
Secretary as presented will be consid-
cred as sufficient to allay all apprehen-
sions here and elsewhere regarding the
technical construction and operation
of the resumption act. The commit
tee presented a resolution saying that
pending the early reassembling OF
Congress, and with hope that some
modification will be adopted by them
in the existing currency act, we deem it
premature and injudicious at this time
to prescribe any line of policy which
the banking interests of Baltimore
may require hereafter. This was
| adopted.
WASHINGTON, November %. - The
Supreme Court has decided the case
of H. J. Anthony ct al, commissioners,
etc.. plaintiffs in error, against the
Bank of Commerce of Richmond, Viz
GINA, in error, in the Circuit Court of
the United States for the district OF
South Carolina. This was tried upon
the merits in the lower court and re-
suited in judgment against the COM
missioners. They now seek to reverse
the judgment on the ground that the
suit should have been brought against
the county as separate body and not
against them, as commissioners. This
court holds that there are no directions
in the Constitution or statutes of South
Carolina as to the name by which a
county shall be sued, and that there
seems to be no objection to the form
adopted in the present case. Judg-
ment of the lower court affirmed.
