BANKS TO BE FINED.
The Rule Concerning the Rendition
of Reports to be Enforced.

The Rule Concerning the Rendition
of Reports to be Enforced.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-As the result
of the order made to-day by Comptroller
Of the Currency Trenholm. it is probable
that considerable number of national
banks will find themselves in trouble,
and be mulct in heavy fines. 1t seems
that there has been an entire failure OF
late years to inforce the law requiring
national banks to submit reports to the
Treasury. AS consequence, the Comp
troller says that bangs in different parts
of the country have grown careless and
Indifferent in making their reports. Close
scrutiny has been made, and those banks
that have been most persistent and ma
grant in violating the law have been So
lected and Will be fined, so as TO establish
a better order of things.
The law allows banks five davs after the
receipt OF a call in which to render re-
ports, and after the expiration of that
grace the Comptroller is required to fine
delinquents at the rate of 500 for every
days delay. The hardness Of banks in
making reports has delayed the work OF
the ComptrOller's Office and rendered
necessary the order made to-day. As an
instance of the slight regard entertained
for the law by some banks the Comptroller
cites the case of a cashier who acknowl-
edges the receipt of the call Tor the re-
port, but replied that his assistant was
the secretary of the agricultural fair then
IN progress, and he was too busy to at
tend to it. He promised, however, TO get
up the report In week or two.

2:l4:1S. Both made a splendid picture as
they rounded the lightship. To this point
the MayiOwer had now beaten the Gala
tea minutes and L. seconds, and she
was fully two miles away when the cnt-
ter squared away" Back to the north
ward came the great f1otilla OF seeamers
with their freight OF admirers.
RUNNING FOR HOME.
The Mayflower, with her big balloon
topsail bellying out in the now strong
breeze. came "horsing' by buoy 50 on
the home stretch at IA O'Clock just as
the Galatea was passeing the point of SAN
dy Hook. The latter passed the bIoy 3:46
O'Clock, and both gibbing port, came
down to the finish on the food tide. What
agrand sight that finish was only an eve
witness can tell. 1t was the graudest
marine spectacle ever seen in New York
bay. Surrounded by nearly 800 steam
and sailing craft, the Mayfower came
tearing along through the narrow path
and crossed the line amid the firing OF
guns, screach OF whistles. and waving of
bunting and handkerchIefs. The Gala
tea received as hearty a welcome when
she arrived.
TAKEN GOOD NATUREDLY.
When the judges told Lieut.. Hem that
he was beaten 12 minutes and seconds
he laughed and shouted back, II thought
IL was half an hour" Three cheers and
tiger were given by the yachtmen for
the gallant little lrishman and his charm
ing wife. Both yachts proceeded to their
anchorage off Bay Ridge. The following
table shows the actual results from this
famous race:

BELFAsT'S RIOTS.
The Government Opposed to In
creasing the Commission.

Inc Government Opposed to In
creasing the Commission.
LONDON, Sept. THE government
will give Mr.. Parnell two days next
week for the discussion of his land bill.
PARNELL's LAND BILL.
Mr.. Parnell has completed his land bill,
which consists of only four clauses. He
will int roduce the bill Thursday or Fri
day, and will endeavor 70 obtain discus
sion of the measure before the debate on
the estimates is finished so rs to be able
to press it upon the government for con-
sideratlOn.
1t is stated that Mr.. Paruell says that
the governments consent to the introduce
tlon of his land bill is the turning point
of the Irish question. He expects that
the bill will tend to unite the Liberals.
The Daily News says that the govern
ment will treat the rejection or accept
ance of Mr.. ParnelPs bill as vote Of con-
fidence or want of confidence in the gov
ernment.
In the debate on the bill for an inquiry
into the Belfast riots Mr.. Sexton asked
the government to enlarge the commits
sion in the interests of the Catholics.
Hugh Holmes, Attorney General of
Ireland, said he thought the commission
competent to deal with the matter as at
present constituted.
Mr.. Holmes said that the commission
would sit In open court, and that any one
interested could demand a summons or
subpoena witness, contempt OF which
would render the offender liable to the
same penalties as are inflicted in high
court of justice. The government strong
ly objected to the proposal to add two
members to the commission from the Bel
fast Town Council and the Catholic Com
mlttee because they would introduce local
party feeling in the inquiry.
Mr.. Harrington moved to adjourn the
debate.
Sir NJ. Hicks Beach, Chief Secretary for
Ireland, appealed to him to allow the Sec
ond reading to take place.
The motion TO djourn was withdrawn
and the bill passed It's second reading.

LAWS OF THE KNIGHTS.
Important Changes to be Made at th'
Coming National Convention.

Important CilanSeS bO Dc nIaue at TN q
Coming National Convention.
PITTsBURG, PA, Sept. lit is UNDER
stood that at the National Convention of
the Knights OF Labor at Richmond next
month changes In the present laws Will
be made. The great number OF District
Assemblies makes it impossible for the
general officers, even with the assistance
given the Executive Board at the Cleve-
land meeting, to keep up with the busi-
ness. The result is that i'm
portant matters frequently cannot
be Investigated promptly enough
to prevent dissatisfaction. To remedy
this IT, is proposed to model the govern
ment Of the United States, that is TO have
State organizations and a supreme or ma
tional assembly. The State assemblies
under the new plan will have control of
the territory under their Jurisdiction, but
the acts OF their officers will be subject to
reversal by the General Master Work
mau. Thus Mr.. Powderly will retain
supreme control. The plan. has been
thoroughly canvassed since the adjourn
ment OF the Cleveland convention, and
there is little doubt but that it will be
adopted.

SEDGWICK'S MISSION.
His appointment Not Made on Ac-
count of Personal Friendship.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.--Secretary Bay
ard did not select Mr.. sedgwick for the
errand on which he sent him to Mexico
because OF a personal friendship either
between himself and Sedgwick or between
the Bayard family ana the Sedgwick fam
lily. In fact, he did not select him at all.
He wanted a man to go to Mexico to get
him the facts in the Cutting case. lie
wanted lawyer who understood the
Spanish language. He asked Secretary
Whitney To recommend such man to
him, not being himsOlt able to think of
any one who would do or could go, and
Secretary Whitney named his friend
Sedgwick. Then Secretary Bayard
wrote to Sedgwick TO come here
and see him. Sedgwick left his wife, who
Is in delicate condition OF health at
StockOridge, Mass, his old home, and
came on here. When Secretary Bayard
proposed the trip to Mexico to
him he said that he was reluctant to 90
on account OF his wife's condition, but
that il it was as necessary as it seemed
TO be he would undertake it. Secretary
Bayard told him that it was very neces-
sary, and that he thought the Information
could be secured in the course Of two or
three weeks. Mr.. Sedgwick accordingly
went on the supposttion that he could get
back within a month. 1t is safe to say
that no is not tritllng away his time.
CAPT. HowGATE SEEN.
Capt. Henry W. Howgate has been
seen on the streets of Washington by peo-
pie who know him well several times this
summer. They say that he looks very
much as he did when he was stealing the
funds of the Signal Corps, even TO a little
limp in his walk, which makes IL notice.
able. He never speaks to any one on the
street, and so far no one has spoken to
him. But If Howgate does not become
more wary he is likely to find himself In
custody again, Judge Maynard, the new
Second Comptroller, who has charge OF the
accounts OF the Signal Corps, has been try
ing for some to get at the mysterious reason
why H0wgaLe has so braz enly gone un-
whipt OF justice for so many years. While
Second Comptroller Maynard is not Off
cially responsible for the fact that How
gate is at liberty, he is 80 impressed with
the iniquity of il that he has gone to some
pains about it. 1t Is probable that his in
vestigation may not only secure the re-
arrest of Howgate, but also expose the
men in high place who are generally be-
lieved to have shielded Howgate during
the years since his escape. Should Judge
Maynard succeed in this undertaking he
would develop the greatest sensation that
Washington has known since the eX-
posure of the Star Route knavery.

Hautboy Strawberries.
,FrUgarld elatior J

Through the kindness of Mr.. Ad-
am r. Magraw we had the pleasure
of sampling this fine old variety of
strawberry, and to our notion. if we
take in:o account its remarkable aro-
ma. the Hautboy takes precedence of
all others. The vine is rank high,
grower, hence its name, and the ffav-
or of the berry is very fine. The
fruit, while not mammoth, is above
the medium size. Whether free or
q sly bearer we are not advised. The
peculiarly pungent aroma of this ber.
ry is its most distinguishing char
acteristic. Persons desiring 20 pro-
pagate this rare old variety might
obtain plants by applying to Mr..
Magraw. who procured his from Pc
ter Henderson. Although very su-
perior berry according to our notion,
the plants are not common, and we
believe that Mr.. Magraw is the only
person in this part of the country
who has the Hautboy strawberry.

The following is sketch of the
plan for reconstructing the Court
House, as drawn by Mr.. Levi o. Cam
eron, the architect employed by the
committee in charge of the work.
A tower will be built on the south
side of the building. the lower story
of which will be used for the con-
struction of stairway to the audi
ence or Court room, which will be in
the second story; and the second
story of which will be used as ves-
tibule to the Court room. The north
wall of the present house will be
moved back al out sixteen feet, or un-
til it comes in contact with the
Clerk office covering the space now
occupied by the room formerly used
as the Sheriffs office The lower story
Of the improved structure will be
used as the Clerks office aud office of
the County Commissioners. There
will also be private stairway lead
ing from the first to the second story
for the use of the officials. The Jury
rooms, of which there will be five or
six. will be in the third story of the
building.
This plan looks like it would make
decided improvement of the old
building. But what is to be done
with the "hole in the wall?" Rent
it out for restaurants, or abondon it
to the rats again3
