FOREIGN NEVS NOTES.

a sensation was caused at Toronto, Can,
in financial circles when it became known
that the Dominion bank had allowed its d.
rectors to overborrow and that the Federal
bank had been lending large sums of money
on bank stock securities, which is illegal.
The stock of both b. nks mentioned. which
was unusually high about two weeks ago,
has been gradually declining since the di-
rectors OF the Dominion bank in their priv
ate capacity, borrowed from themselves as
directors more than the whole capital OF the
bank. The capital is 81, 500, 900, and the
amount for which the directors were liable
was 81, 500, 90. In September the amount
OF the paper on which there were directors
names had been reduced some $500 600,
making the amount or their Indebtedness u
little more than the whole of the capital.
By the charter OF the banks the directors are
not permitted to have their names on more
than one-tenth of the paper discounted.

honors and decorations. A deputation of
leading actors waited upon the editor of the

pated. NJ. Dalma, husband of Sarah Bern
hardt, has already challenged NJ Mirabeau
to fight duel, and Mile. Bernhard also in
sists that her son Maurice shall send
challenge to NJ. Mirabeau.
