CoDIFYING THE BANKING LAWS
Representative Wilkins Reports Sub
Stitute for his Bill.

cVlbdOC lOL ul5 Dill
WASHINGTON, June Representative
Wilkins, from the Committee on Banking
and Currency, to-day reported to the House
a substitute for the bill introduced by him
to revise and codify the banking laws of
the United States. The substitute contains
the views expressed by the Comptroller OF
the Currency before the committee. The
report states that the original act author
izing the establishment of the national
banking system and the law modifying it
were passed at time when the government
was in great need of money, with the
object not SO much of supplying a circula-
ting medium as of furnishing to the gov
ernment market for its securities, which
it was issuing from time to time, other than
the limited market afforded by the ordinary
demands from the people.
NEW CONDITIONS.
The conditions existing then, the COM
mittee says, have long since ceased. The
government is no longer seeking a market
for its securities nor looking for purchaser
for its bonds. 1t is no longer a borrower.
but is making haste to be out of debt.
Therefore owing to the success attendant
upon the national banking system and
the recognized benefit it now affords the
whole country, the question of its continu-
dilSo w q pCiiod SO-cuudt AZ lSdlsO WIUu Un6
existence of government bonds, seems we'll
settled by both Congress and the people
Since the embodiment of all the laws into
the revised statutes in 1878, the committee
says, many OF the laws and amendments
passed, and Of the utmost Importance, are
scattered over period Of fifteen years and
distributed throughout the same number of
publications of laws Of each session of
Congress, inconvenient for reference, and
inaccessible to the great number of
people interested. 1t is believed,
the committee says, that the time
has arrived when there should be complete
codification Of all laws relating to national
banks. The bill conforms with the existing
law with few changes in phraseology,
with slight variations of import, except
those suggested by the Comptroller of the
Currency, many of which were in his
annual report Of last year.

POPE LEo's ALLoCUTIoN.

Causes Great Pain.

The Desire to Maintain tho Conflict
Causes Great Pain.
ROME, June 2.-The Pope corrected the
proofs of the authorized publication Of his
allocCtion delivered at Yesterdays consis-
tory. After condemning the provisions
affecting the clergy in the new Italian code,
His Holiness says: "What causes us the
greatest pain is the desire manifested to
maintain, at all hazards, the conflict
between the papacy and England, which
we, from love of church and country,
declare that we wish to terminate. The
desire displayed by States to war against
the Church is folly, and is hurtful to ALL
and especially to Italy.
DOCUMENT OF THE BISHOPS.
LONDON, June 2-The document of the
Irish bishops, which has reached Rome, ad-
mits the right of the holy see to interfere
in matters of morality. The plan of cam
paign and boycotting come under the
jurisdiction of the rescript, which they re-
ceive with reverence. The bishops are
constrained to remark, however, that the
holy see has not been correctly informed
in regard to the acts condemned by the re-
script, and that the circumstances which
gave rise to those acts as a means of defense
and legitimate resistance ought to be con-
sidered The document adduces a number
of statistical data to prove that
the disputes between the landlords
and tenants have political character and
have nothing to do with matters of morals
or religion. 1t concludes with renewed ex-
pressiops of devotion and respect for the
decisions of the holy see. 1t is now re-
ported that Mgr. Persico, the Papal envoy,
was opposed to the publication OF the
rescript as inopportune

RAILROAD BUILDING.
The Country That Win be Opened Ur
to Savannah.

CoRpELE, Ga, June 2.-Grading on the
Georgia, Southern and Florida railroad Is
about completed from Macon to this place,
Trains on this road are expected to be run
ming here by July l. When completed it
will be one of the best roads in the South,
as all work being done is tlrst-olass.
The Americus, Preston and Lumpkin
road is doing an immense business, and will
during this year be changed from a narrow
TO standard gauge. The western terminus
of this road is Montgomery, Ala, and the
eastern terminus Savannah. Should this
road be extended to Savannah it would un-
doubtedly open up an immense trade for
that place. as 1t would pass through one of
the finest undeveloped sections in Georgia.
Shipments of lumber and naval stores over
this road to Savannah would be immense,
besides large quantities of cotton and other
products. This is one railroad in which the
business men of Savannah should interest
themselves, and use every means to have it
extended to that place. 1t IS rumored upon
good authority that the Georgia Southern
and Florida will build branch road from
this place to Thomasville. 1t is hoped this
will prove to be true, as this place is
destined to be the most important town
between Macon and Valdosta.

TALK ABOUT FISH.
The Republicans Better Equipped Than
the Democrats

the Democrats.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-The Star tonight
says: 1.-THE Democratic Senators are by no
means forgetful of the fact that they will
soon be confronted with the fisheries treaty
again, and that it must be debated in open
session. The Democratic Senators realize
that they are at decided disadvantage in
this debate. They say that the Republican
Senators from New England have been
familiar with this fisheries subject in all its
bearings all their lives, while the Senators
from other sections have felt called upon to
study it in general way The Democrats,
appreciating that the Republicans are better
equipped for the contest, did their best to
prevent open sessions. They say that Sena-
tors Frye and Hale. Edmunds and Morrill,,
Hoar and Dawes, and others, have been
compelled from their entrance into public
life to keep pace with the fisheries question
because their constituents have been
and are still directly interested in it, The
controversy on the Democratic side will be
chiefly conducted, perhaps, by Senator's
Morgan, Harris, Gray, Beck, voorhees, and
Mcpherson. Senator Harris, the recognized
leader of the Democratic minority, will
watch tire opposition with untiring vigi-
lance It is pretty well understood that the
debate will involve more of politics than
treaty. however, and Democrats say that
when it comes to an open appeal for the
support of the Irish-American vote, they
will put their party record against the
promises of the Republicans"

Agricultural APPROPRIATIONS.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The House to-
day went into committee of the whole on
the agricultural appropriation bill Mr..
Hatch, of Missouri, asked that general de-
bate be dispensed with, which was done,
and the bill was read by sections for amend
ment.
Consideration of the bill was completed
without effecting any change in it. The
committee then rose and the bill was passed.
Mr.. Washington, Of Tennessee, vainly en-
deavored TO have it recommitted to the
Committee on Agriculture, with instruc-
tions TO restore the salary Of the commits
siouer to the present figure.
