NATIONAL BANKS.
An Exhaustive Report by the Comptroller
of the Currency.

Of the Currency.
WASHINGTON, d. C., November %
The annual report of the Hon. Wm. L.
Trenholm, Comptroller of the Currency,
contains suggestions for the amendment o.
National Bank laws, in about dozen in
stances, including the contingent liability
of shareholders, requirements rs to reserve,
the limit on loans to individuals, more
thorough examinations of banks, and theiI
protection against unequal State taxation.
The specific character of these suggestions
is withheld for the present. Three. thou
sand five hundred and eighty National
banks have organized, i'll all of which 2SJ
are now in operation, of these III have
been organized during the past year with
q capital Of2l 200, ,O0O, circulation $4,000,
900. Twenty-fOur banks went into vol
untary liquidation during the year, one
ceased to exist by expiration of charter
and eight failed. Since the beginning OF
the system in 1868, only 1l2 National
banks have failed. OF these SO have paid
their creditors in full, and 20 have paid
interest besides, fifteen in full and five in
part. Over 30 per cent of all National
bank stocks is held by residents Of the
State in which the bank is located. The
total number of shareholders is -, 300; the
total number of shares over ,OOO, 900 The
effect of the reduction Of the public debt
and the high premium on bonds upon the
volume of National Bank circulation is
very fully illustrated in the report The
contraction in n'National Bank circulation
during the year, exceeds $50, 900, 900.
Besides the usual tables showing the con-
dition of National Banks ut various dates,
the report tins year contains an abstract
which specifies each item Of the resources
and Liabilities. The banks in the several
States reserve cities and territories, have
their condition stated separately. A
large diagram exhibiting the main
features of the National Banking system
and their variations during the past
2l years, accompanies the report.
From this it appears that the aggregate
deposits in the banks have increased from
$522, OOO, 900 in January, lSSGI TO 81 173,
600, 900 in October, 1856, while loans and
discounts have risen from 500, 900 to
81, AS, 900, 600 The spCcia held by the
National Banks in lSS6 was 1000, 900,
in October 1885 it was only 5000, 900,
while in July 1856 it was SlT, ,OOO,OW
and is now $l56 OOO,O

The Position OF France.

PARIS, November 25.--M. l~moipe
writes to the Mdiin that all the powers, ex-
cept England, recognize Russia's right Ia
exercise n preponderting influence IN
Bulgaria. France, he says, was chosen 10
protect Russians in Bulgaria because she
is the most neutral power. The French
Government does not desire Ia repeat the
sentimental crusade of ls5i for England's
advantages France has never done any
thing but promote England's Eastern
interests. The CIimcan war was not n
French, but a dynastic struggle. NJ. Lem
oinc questions whether Russia, In
pursuing her ends in the Black Sea, men-
aces France. England, he says, makes .
mistake 10 speculate upon French isola-
ton. In the present confused state Of
European allicnccs France will not make
decision. She has acquired the right 10
collect and husband her strcngh, and
one day il will be for her 10 choose her
allies The Eastern question for France,
has been transferred TO Egypt.
The English press, says Mr., Lcmoinr, In
illogical. The papers of England, regard
rs mOnstrous the prospect Of Bulgaria
becoming dependent upon Russia, but they
consider that Egypt should become de-
pendent upon England. They think II
wrong that Russian officers should CON-
mand the Bulgarian army while they he
lievc il right that English officers should
command the forces of Egypt.
The Journal says that the protection Of
Russians in Bulgaria has been entrusted 10
Germany, and that only in Roumslia
where there are no German counsel. will
the Russians enjoy French protection.

PROHIBITION AT ATLANTA.
MI. Frank Gordon Says the Sentiment 1.
Against 1t.

Against 1t.
WASHINGTON, November 25.-Frank
Gordon. the son of the newly-elected Gov
ernor Of Georgia, arrived in the city yes
terday from Atlanta, where he has been
staying since his-ather was inaugurated.
The ceremonies, he says, were very i'm
pressive, and were witnessed by some
20, 600 people.
"But prohibition is the great topic in
Atlanta" said Mr.. Gordon to a reporter
yesterday. THE sentiment now is anti
prohibition. The Mayor is anti-prOhibi-
ton, and the majority of the Common
Council is on the same side. When it
comes to an election again the anti-prohi-
bitionists will win. Unless there is a
compromise, think that a high license
party might prove successful, but the
simon pure Prohibitionists can not win
again"
"Is there much liquor drunk in At
lanta?"
Probably not as much as under the old
order of things, but still great deal.
The latest idea takes advantage of that
provision in the statute which does not
prohibit liquor from being sent into the
city if purchased elsewhere. Consequent
ly, when man wants drink of whisky
he goes to an agent and writes an order to
have q quart shipped to him from little
town called Griffin, some forty miles
away. Within two minutes after you
have signed your order the quart of
whisky is on your table. This, however,
does more harm than when il was possible
to buy a single drink, for when a man has
a quart of whisky he is not satisfied until
he drinks it all. Beer can also be pur-
chased, but not less than half dozen bot
ties at time"

MINISTER MANNING.
HE Is SAID TO BE GREATLY DETECTED AT
PUBLICATION
Ct His Alleged ESeapads ID MsneO-SeCrstary Nor
gans Connection With the Afair-Falk at
the CaPital-Mr Manning's Previous
Character-Diferent Views.

CITY OF MEXICO, November 25.-Min-
ister Manning feels greatly disheartened
and put out by the publicity given his late
unfortunate debauch 1t is reliably report
ed that he and the Secretary of Legation,
Mr.. Morgan, had a violent quarrel growing
out of the Minister'S late condition. 1t
seems that Judge Manning, and perhaps
Mrs. Manning, were inclined to somewhat
blame the Secretary for not succeeding in
shielding the Judge from the modification
of exposure. Morgan, on the other hand,
was not satisfied with the message which
Minister Manning is said to have sent to
Secretary Bayard explaining his four days
confinement to his rooms. Morgan felt
that the authorities at Washington were
entitled to q fuller and palmer explanation
regarding the Minister'S illness, and there
fore took it upon himself to send dispatch
to Secretary Bayard supplementing the
contents of the Minister'S telegram.
The exact nature of Mr.. Morgan's COM
municatiOn is not known here, but when
Judge Manning learned that Mr.. Morgan
had assumed authority to take action on
such q subject he took him severely to
task, and high words were exchanged be-
tween the two officials. Mrs. Manning
and her daughter have been very secluded
since their arrival. 1t is believed that
they do not know that full particulars of
the Minister'S late conduct have been laid
before the American public.

changed to one of bitterness, for it was but

lent burning in their stomachs. Break
fast had no charms for them and the water
they drank to relieve their affliction only
added suffering to their already distracted

The RecOunts neutrality-suspicious. Give
Up the Senatorship.
WASHINGTON, November 25.-A Tren-
ton, New Jersey, special to the Herald,
says: All the recounts of disputed districts
ordered by the Supreme Court have been
finished with the exception of one in the
Third district of Camden county, which
will be made next Friday. The result
does not change the complexion Of the
Legislature as it appeared the day after
the election. The Democrats have held
their own in every district except the Sec
ond of Mercer, where Walkers majority
of two was changed to a tie. To offset
this the Democrats have gained one men,
Der in Passaic, where the result had
been declared tie, the recount
having given one majority over
the Republican candidate. The Demo-
Gratis are confident OF counting out the Re-
publicans in the Camden Third district
next Friday. They claim Passaic, and
also that Walter will take his seat on
the certificate of election issued by the
county board OF canvassers. This certiti-
cate has not been revoked by Chief JUS
tice Beasley, and consequently holds good.
Anyhow, as the House will be organized
by the Democrats, it is very probable
that Walter will be seated by them before
the election of United States Senator
occurs. The Legislature stands as fol-
lows: Senate, II Republicans, 8 Demo
Gratis; House, 81 Democrats Counting
Walter, q Republicans, . Labor Demo-
Gratis. This is final, and cannot be
changed except by the Legislature itself
The Republicans seem to give up the Sen
atorship, and are working tooth and nail
to defeat Governor Abbtet. They prefer
any other Democrat in the State to him.

WILLIAMS SPEECH
READ AT THE OPENING OF THE GERMAN
REICHSTAG.
The Old Emperor Adopts Most Pacific and COnsrv-
atvs Tone Greatly Relieving the Anxiety Of hs
Boere-Hs Advocates Strengthening Of
the Army IS Necessary Measure.

BERLIN, November 25.-The Reichstag
opened to-day. Herr Won Boetticher.
Minister of the Interior, read the speech
from the throne, in which the Emperor
says: "The object Of the policy Of the
Empire which enjoys peaceful relations
with all states, is to exert in favor Of the
maintenance of concord among all the pow
ers, the influence which accrues TO Ger
many from her love of peace, from the uni
versal confidence reposed in the Empire
owing to the fact that Germany Is not con-
cerned in pending questions and from the
Emperor's close friendship with two neigh
boring courts" The speech announces
that measure will he introduced to raise
the effective strength Of the German army,
which, he says, isjustided by the increas-
ing ofthe armies of neighboring States.
The measure, he says, is indispensable 10
German security. The resources required
will be raised by increasing matriculatory
contributions supplying them to the pub
lie credit. The Government ahandons
taxation reform until the people more
clearly recognize its necessity. The text Of
that part of the Emperors speech relating
to the Septennial bill is rs follows:
''By the law of May 9th, 1850, the peace
effective WAS fixed until March 3lst, 1889.
Our military system therefore requires IT,
newing on legal basis The army is
guarantee of lasting protection and Of the
blessings ofpcace Although the policy
of the empire is always pacitics Germany
in view OF the development Of the mill
tary establishments of ncighboring States
cannot longer deter increasing the deicn-
sive force, especially the peace effective.
A bill therefore, will be- submitted,
providing for an increase TO take effect
from the beginning Of the new financial
year.
The Emperor in accord with the Federal
Government feels confident that the
necessity of the demand which is indis-
pensiLlc in the interests Of National
security will bc recognized with full de-
termination by the whole German people
and their representatives. The pacific
tone of the press has strengthened the
