CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-The Continental
hotel at the southeast corner of Wabash
avenue and Madison street, was damaged
by fire early this morning to the extent of
about $500. The fire started in room AZ,
on the third floor, in lot of bed clothing.
A panic ensued among the guests of the
hotel. The guests who were first awakened
hurriedly aroused the occupants of the
hundred odd rooms, and many of the
women rushed out screaming in their night
clothes or scantily dressed at best. The fire
burned rapidly and the smoke filled the
whole house. An alarm was turned in by
a night. watchmen at the corner Of Mad
iSon street, and Michigan avenue. When
the department arrived the most of the
guests were assembled in the parlors and
office with frightened faces and scanty
dress. The stairways were covered with
piles of clothing personal effects and trunks,
the latter in all Imaginable conditions. The
fire penetrated through the ceiling of the
second floor, and had to be fought from
below. 1t was over half an hour before the
blaze was entirely eXtinguished. Luckily
no one was injured.
1.-The fire was undoubtedly incendiary,"
said Chief Sweeney. THE fire did not
start in room Al alone. The hotel was on
fire in six different places on different floors,
and disconnected. 1t was a hard fire to
fight for this reason"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The annual

of the currency, contains suggestions for
the amendment of she national bank laws
in about dozen instances. including the
contingent liability OF shareholders. re-
.Quirements as to reserve, the limit on loans
TO individuals. more thorough examination
of banks and their protection against un-
equal state taxation. The specific charac-
tel of these suggestions is withheld for the
present. Thirty-tive hundred and eighty
national banks have organized in all of
which 2S5S are now in operation. Of these
t,T04 have been organized during the past
year. Twenty-fOur banks went into
VOLUNTARY LIQUIDATION
during the year. one ceased to exist by eX-
piration of charter and eight failed. Since
the beginning of the system in 1868 only
112 national banks have failed. Of these
thirtv-siX have paid their creditors in full.
and twenty have paid interest besides. tf-
teen in full and five in part Over 80 per
cent. of all national bank stocks is held by
residents of the state in which the bank is
located, more than 81 per cent. is held by
natural persons, and 80 per cent. of the
number of shareholders are natural per-
sons. The total number of shareholders is
223. 600; and the total number of shares

the condition of national banks at various
dates. the report this year contains an ab-
stract which specifies each one of their re-
sources 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 twenty one years
accompanies the report. From this. it APP
pears that the aggregate deposits in the
banks have increased from 1922. 900. 900 in
January. 1886. to 81, 173. 600 900 in OctO-
Der, 1856. while loans and discounts have
risen from So, 900, 600 to 81 443. 600, 900.
The specie held by the national banks in
1866 was S19. 600. 600; in October 1875, it
was only IS. 900. 900. while in July. 1885. ii
was S177. 900. 600. and is now S156. 0G0. 900.
Mr.. Trenholm declines to say whether his
report contains any specific recommended
tions in regard to a modification of the law
making United States bonds the basis of the
national currency. but it Is understood at
the department that he has presented a
strong array of facts und figures showing
how valuable the system has become to the
entire country, and how important it is that
it should be made adaptable to the needs of
communities in the West and South, where
vast natural resources await development

is very long, numbering fOrty-nine. dis
tributed over wide range of territory.
The bill to be filed deals only with the Kid
well claim and it is charged tnat the patent
is null and void for several reasons. the
most important being that it was obtained
through fraud and colIusiOD between John
Wilson, KidwelTS attorney. and his brother,
Joseph S. Wilson, who was commissioner
of the land-Office in 1869. when the patent
was issued. The other defendants are the
heirs of Chief Justice Marshall. who. at
the time of his DEATH claimed to have vest
ed in him the title to the Potomac river. its
island. water, fish and everything else per-
taing to it, as grantee of Denny Martin
tairfaX, devisee of Lord Fairfax, who be-
came the owner of what is called the grant
from the British crown in 100, to the
northern neck of Virginia, comprising all
the land between the Rappahannock and
the Potomac rivers. The government will
throw the burden of proof upon these and
the other claimants, compelling them to
come into court and show on what grounds
they base their claims. The amount of
land involved is fOrty-seyen acres.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-Assistant Post
master General HaZen, in his annual re-
port to the postmaster general, refers to the
encouraging outlook for the current year.
and says that there is scarcely doubt that
it will realize a still greater improvement in
the postal revenue. The labor troubles
were settled early in the year: fair degree
of prosperity has attended the business OF
the country during the past few months,
and all the indications at the present time
look to its continuance, if not to still
further improvement. None of the sources
of the postal revenue have been injuriOuSly
affected by changes during the present
year. The
REDUCTION IN THE RATE
of postage of secOnd-claSS matter and the
increase of the unit of weight Of the first
class matter have been in effect since the
1st of July, 1885, and accordingly the reve-
nueS will not suffer from those sources in
the comparison with the past fiscal year.
For the next fiscal year. ending June 80,
1888. he estimates the deficiency of revenue
to be supplied out OF the general treasury
at 81, 72g. 553, which is only S624.014 more
than the amount charged to the treasury i'll
the year ending June 30, 1884. and 81, 49,
612 less than for the ear ending june 30.
1885. The estimated amounts chaTgeable
20 the general treasury for the current and
the next fiscal years will probably be
greatly reduced. both by an increase of the
estimated postal revenue, and by decrease
of the estimated expenditures. From the
;pndaneipS shown il is evident that with a
prosperous condition in the business Of the

and with continued exercise of care in

FORT SCOTT, Kas., Nov. 25.-The ex-

usual basis. and the total yield of the first
run of Louisiana cane was 1919 pounds per
ton of cane. The first run of Louisiana
cane gave considerably less. This is a
great disappointment to the advocates of
carbonation. and falls far below the esti-
mates of Chief Chemist Wiley, based upon
his run of firsts. This is accounted for by
the fact that the first boiling was not
only to grain. but to string, thus practically
giving the whole sugar crop at the first
boiling. This experiment but

The success of diffusion is great point

the more Spongy sorghum cane stalk. EX-

Chief Chemist Wiley construes the law

Better things are expected of Commissioner
Colman, who. it is believed, will require the
adoption of more rational system and the
abandonment of exploded theories and eX-
