WAsWNGGON, March G.-Senator Bruccs Com
mittce took the testimony Of General o. .. Howard
this morning. in reference 10 discrepancy IN his
personal accounts with the rrcedmau's Bank. The
original discrepancy amounted to 50 100, but the
experts had reduced II to Sl,fOO before General
Howard was sworn. lie was able to produce de
post slips to show that all out 800 5000 of the
amount had been settled
Members of the committee say that no shadow of
suspicion rests upon General Howard in any cyeni.
He had merely taken the figures rs they were made
M by the bank accountants, aud had probably
not referred to them since ho got his shook
from the bank.
The committee has now finished taking testl-
mony and at its next meeting 1t will begin the pre-
paraton of its report 1t is not probable that there
Will he anything OF y very sensational nature IN IT.
Much light ha, been gained nregard to the methods
of dong business which were followed by the bank.
I'm n general way 1t Is learned that many OF the
responsible authorities had no financial interest IN
the bank and that too littlo care was exercised III
scrutiniziug the securities upon which ITS money
was loaned. What recommendations will be made
cannot now be foreshadowed.
The real estate stIll owned by the bank if sold,
would realize about S2j00O0, aud this amount, II
distributed among the depositors in addition to the
dividends already made, would clear oil about oo
per cent OF the banks liabilities.
The Commissioners have done much better thah
it was expected they could do, but there is some
reason toexpcct that a recommendation will be made
to abolish their Offices and place the affairs OF the
hank in the hands Of the Controller OF the Cur
