Of Examiners, Wien promotions and appoint-

was Chairman of :, board which was holding

there was always fixity Of standard which
Was adhered to throughout. Judge FolEer

that he did not think that Federal appoint

that civil service examinations did not

IN VERMONT,
where the Cashier held so many forged col
laterals, it Is Known that, had the President
OF the bank been present at the Government
examination, tine frauds OF the Cashier would
have been discovered. III other words,
it Is very possible that Congress
Will be asked to Incorporate III the
National Banking act some Of the
stringent penal provisions of the Scotch and
English law with regard to the responsible
ity Of Directors. Congressman who are here
believe that the appointment OF Bank En-
amincrs ought to be more removed for pUli-
ties than 1t is. It is we'll known that MANY
Of the Bank Examiners who have been al>-
pointed III times past through political i'll
tluence were quite incompetent This is one
Of the greatest difficulties that
CONTROLLER. KNOX
has encountered i'll the Administration of
the National Banking act lie las been
too often compelled to take such
persons for Examiners as the poll
ticians would permit hi.u to have.
There never, however, has been b11r one case
where Bank Examiner WIS detected in
doubtful TRANSACTIONS. That was the noted
case Of Coleman, whose relations to the
Ocean National Bank Of New York have
been ule subject Of so many Investigations.
1t remains 70 he seen whether any OF the
Congressman will take the initiative in the

from tie foreign silk merchants OF Yoko-
hama. These gentlemen, however, did not
meet the new movement in friendly spirit.
but, following III the footsteps Of their pro-
tests the foreign merchants held public
meetings, at which it was resolved to do 10
business with the Japanese Silk Company,
either collectively or individually. This de-:
cisou was communicated to the company
with Il statement Ut the reasons which
prompted the action. Copies Of the state
n1ent were also translated into japanese and
widely scattered through the interior OF the
country. Early lii October the japanese
Company replied to this manifesto, and thus
the ease now stands i'll deadlock. The for-
eien merchants refuse to buy silt, and the
Japanese are unwilling to sell except for
cash Oil delivery, after Inspection in their
elgucrs' appeal TO the producers In the in
terror was to cansc great excitement among
all classes against foreigners.
THE rEorI: or JAPAN
now look upon the foreign merchants in the
light Of enemies to their country. This
hostile fceli11. is aggravated by the tone Of
the 1nIClrH J0u!HHlo u IOAOitl4!lldr Hill Ol
many of the merchants there. who speak Of
the japanese in the most opprobrious Ian
gnage- There are several foreign merchants
i'll Yokohama fur whom the Japanese have
great respect. and these gentlemen express
the more moderate views which. it is hoped,
willprcyaii III the end. At present. however,
the foreign combination is in the hands OF
extremists, who oppose any compromise in
.s.I. bs1.j
Its among the foreigners are English, 1tal-
IAN. and German, who control most Of the
foreign silk trade The japanese, however,
feel that in this matter the foreigners COM
plain against national interests, and the nat
nrai effect is feeling ut insiiscrllninate hos
tility against the foreigners. llUw far this
will extend cannot. OF course, be prophesied;
tut, il the reports which reach here are not
exaggerated, there is at present more tIl-
friendly feeling between the JAPANESE alltt
foreigners than has existed for 1nany years.
