WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE controller
of the currency has directed the bank ex-
aminers throughout the country to make
special and thorough examinations of all
the national banks and report by tele-
graph to Washington at once any weak
ness or violation of law. The controller
thinks there will be no further trouble in
New York, but says there are weak
spots in the national banking system in
various parts Of the country, and he pro-
poses to see that they strengthened SO
far as he is able. There is no prospect
of the passage of the Dingley bill by the
house next Monday, as it requires two
thirds vote to suspend the rules, and
more than one-third of the house will
vote against it. Letters and kilograms
from New York have been received here
in great numbers urging the passage of
this bill, as it believed to be the key to
the financial situation and will relieve
such of the firms as Fisk & Hatch. The
bill will permit the secretary of the treas
ury to take up $40, 100000 in bonds and
release $4O0OO,Oo0 in currency from the
treasury.
WASHINGTON, May 15-Following is
the text of the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Cullum to-day, to prohibit specula-
ton by officers of national banking asso-
cations
Be it enacted, etc., That it shall be
unlawful for the president, cashier. teller
or other chief executive officer of any
banking association, having
capital stock amounting to 100000 or
more, to deal, trade or otherwise engage
in speculatlon-in stocks, bonds or other
securities. or in grain, provisions, pro-
duce, or oil on margins on his own indi-
vidal account or for his own personal
profit. either directly or indirectly, or to
have any partnership or other financial
interest in the operations of any private
banking or brokerage firm, or business.
Any such officer who violates the pro-
visions of this act shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be
imprisoned, not less than one year, or
more than five years, or fined more than
$4,000.
NEW YORK, May 16.-The World, which
has been booming Blaine, has the follow
ing to-day:
There has been considerable change in
the presidential situation during the past
week, at least the DRIFT of the gossip is
different. Gifted politicians who feel
in their bones ominous changes in the
political atmosphere, think they scent
decline in the Blaine boom. It would
puzzle any of them to define wherein the
decline lies, but even the friends of
Blaine are not as confident and buoyant
as they were. Logan is the only man
whose spokesman in the convention is
known. He will be presented by Sena-
tor Cullom who says the Illinois delega-
lion will stand by Logan as long as there
is hope of his nomination. There is
nothing in the story that there will be
an early stampede in this delegation to
Blaine. Judge Wiltshire of Arkansas said
to-day: "The very best thing that could
happen to Logan's canyass isthe fact that
no one now regards his strength as any
thing more than ordinary. The fact that
no one is talking much about him is also
greatly in his interest. The effect of his
vote will be so much greater" The
Judge believes Senator Logan will have
LOO votes on the first ballot.
