SECRETARY SHERMAN was call ed
before the Senate finance committee
on last Tuesday for his views on the
funding bill. His statement was
quite lengthy, but he adhered very
closely to his views as promulgated
in his last annual report. In an
sEer to questions, he said that the
pending bill should be amended so
as to make the funding bonds retira-
BILE after five years and payable in
twenty years from date of issue, and
bear interest at a rate not exceed
ing three and half per cent, the
rate to be fixed at the discretion Of
the Secretary of the Treasury. On
this point he made strong impress
sion on the committee, showing the
dangers of not allowing the Treas
ury Department to exercise its own
discretion as to the rate of interest.
He stated that if the rate was fixed
at three per cent, and no latitude
given, it might defeat the whole re-
funding scheme, and cause the Gov
eminent to pay the present rates on
the maturing bonds, at a loss of
about 100000 a month. He
showed that if the rate was not
fixed at above three and a half per
cent, that is, allow the department
discretion up to that figure, the
bonds could be placed at three and a
half. Refunding would not prove a
failure in such an event. In reply
to the inquiry whether or not, in
his opinion, the bonds could be
aoated at three per cent. if their

ACCORDING to late Developments

ACCORDING to late developments,
there seems to be no doubt that
Senator Allison can have the Treas
ury portfolio in President Garfeld's
Cabinet if he desires. It is stated,
however, that it is his determinas
ton to remain in the Senate. He
has been urging Hon. James F.
Wilson, of his State, for the posi-
ton offered to himself, but "Madam
Rumor" says that Wilson will get
the Secretaryship of the Interior,
and that Senator Window, of Min
nesota, is the one most likely to be
Secretary Of the Treasury, if Ali
son continues to decline. Governor
Foster is again mentioned for the
Postmaster Generalship. It is said
that the Grant men are beginning
to complain that SO far, Gener
Garfield has only Considered the
claims Of the friends of Sherman
and Blaine.
IT seems to be an impossibility
for the Democrats at Washington to
secure a quorum in order to take up
the electoral count bill. On We'd
nesday they failed completely to
carry out their programme and pass
the Bicknell joint rules, to the
great disgust of the Republicans.
Notwithstanding the loud Boosting
of the Democrats that a quorum
was in the city, the highest vote
lacked two of a quorum Of that
party. The two delinquents were
in the House, but managed to be alb
sent whenever their names were
called. One of them was General
Hooker, of Mississippi, usually a
fierce and bitter partisan, and the
other was Dan O'Reilly, of New
York. tits the opinion of many of
the leading politicians at Washing
ton that this effort will be the last,
as it will be Increasingly difficult to
get quorum of Democrats in the
hall at any given time hereafter.

COllApk0 OF U National Bank.
New York, Oct. 3l.-Post's Newark
special: The cashier of the Mechanics
national bank yesterday told the direc-
tors that the bank was unable to pay its
debts. They offered to subscribe half q
million, but he said two millions would
not do it, and they decided to suspend.
The last statement showed deposits, 49,
4l7oOo. James A. Halsey is president
and Oscar L. Baldwin cashier. Baldwin
is considered responsible for the trouble.
The news was thunder clap, as the in
stitution was deemed the strongest in
Newark and its officers the most trust
worthy, while Baldwin stood high as q
fnancier. He has been arrested as an
embezzler and q government examiner
sent for. Its New York connection loses
nothing, having refused to allow Bald
win to withdraw his collateral. Nugent
& Co., who were involved with the bank,
have suspended. Other failures are ex-
pected. It is stated that the resources
of the bank is one building worth $780,
600.
Newark. Dot. 3l.-The following ap-
peared on thel doors of the Mechanics
national bank this morning: "Closed in
consequence of statements affecting the
bank, made by the cashier to the board
of directors yesterday, which are
now undergoing investigation" The
bank was regarded as the strongest in
Newark. Stock stood at S1.80.
The warrant of arrest charges Baldwin
with having confessed to the board that
he had fraudulently used two millions OF
its funds. The directors are sitting with
closed doors. The widest rumors ard
afloat, but nobody but the cashier is sus.
pected. He had the unlimited confidence
of the board, and the confession was
made because he feared visit from the
bank examiners. The county and city
lose about $4,000 each of deposits; the
water board $4,000 and manufacturing
companies smaller amounts. It is not
yet known where the money has gone
but it is alleged that the Wall stree,
speculations of the cashier absorbed it
1t appears that Baldwin got away Will
everything but the safe, which Twas very
heavy. The bank held all the deposits
of the old Mutual life insurance compa
ny, amounting, it is said, to 100000 to
81 100000, and it is not belived that 9
penny of the amount is saved.
