Britons Refuse to Salute the New
Brazilian Flag

DThtOuS 1AeAuSc to SALUTE tile new
Brazilian Flag.
LONDON. Nov. 25.-The flag of tho
new Brazilian republic was hoisted for
the first time in English waters to-day
with result that must have been dis
cOuraging to the over-zealous officer
who made haste to display his colors in
advance of formal recognition Of the
government whose emblem was thus
flaunted. The occasion of the display
was the arrival at Plymouth of a Bra
lillian war ship, to receive which the
usual preparations were made by the
British war vessels and forts. and their
customary signal to salute was awaited
from the flag ship of Admiral Sir Wills
lam Montague Dewell. When, how
ever. the flag of the Limited States of
Brazil" was displayed instead of the ex-
pected imperial ensign. Admiral Dow ell
sent a request to the Brazilian COM
mander to hoist the recognized flag Of
Brazil, or at least not to run up any
other. The Brazilian captain declined
to comply with the request, and the
British forts and war ships remained
silent. 1t is probable that the captain
of the Brazilian ship will make such
representation of the affair as will call
forth an intimatiOn of England's atti-
tude with regard to the new South
American government from the foreign

The New Comptroller of the Cur
ency Submits SOme Figures.

Inc new OOInptrOlIer OF the Cur
ency Submits some Figures.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The forcom-
ing report of the comptroller uf the cur
rtncy covers the year ended Oct. 81,
1889. at which time there were in exist
ence 1919 national banks, the largest
mum Der in operation since the inaugu-
ration of the system. These asSUcia-
tiOns possess an aggregate capital of
$500. Ia. .3t5. The last reports of condi-
tiUn exhibit their resources and liabili-
ties on the Both day of September. 1889.
The number reporting at that time was
$3.50. Within the year 2ll banks were
organized, having an aggregate capital
OF s2l, ,240.O0U. Thirty-six of the new
banks were organized in Texas, the
largest number i'll any one state. The
state of Pennsylvania has now
the largest number of asS0cia-.
tiOns in operation. Massachusetts leads
in point of capita stock an New York
respecting deposits and voIuIne of busi-
ness. Within the report year, forty-0iI
banks went into voluntary liquidation.
and only two failed, leaving the net all
ditiOns to the system l6S, as against 30
last year, and l24 the annual average
increase since the inauguration of the
system. Notwithstanding this gratifying
increase, investigation of the facts dem
OnStrateS that the system has not kept
pace with the necessities of the people
for increased banking facilities. This
is evidenced by the mai krd increase in
percentage OF state banks organized the
last five years, as compared with the,
percentage of the five years Immediately
preceding. This growing tendency to
incorporate under the statutes of the
several states is not attributable to any
change in the law affecting either ma
tiOnal or state institutions, but is
charged directly to the fact
THAT NO PROFIT RESULTS
to the banks by reason Of the deposit of
bonds and issue of circulating notes. 1t
is claimed. In fact, that an actual loss
results in many Western states and ter
ritOries where the interest is highest
and the banking facilities most needed.
IL is demonstrated through tables pre-
pared by the government actuary, that
there is an actual loss resulting to ma
tiOnal banks by reason of their being
obliged to deposit bonds and take out
circulation, wherever the current rate
of interest is greater than 4.76 per cent.
AS the prevailing rate IN all of the
states west of the Alleghenies is i'm ex-
cess of that named, it follows that in
the greater number of states. and those
increasing most rapidly in wealth and !.
population. the enforced deposit of
bonds to secure circulation is an imped-
lment in the way of organization OF new
banks, and has a tendency directly to
diminish the volume of currency issued
by the banks already in existence. In
confirmation OF the statements made,

were no new developments in the lpgis-
latlve deadlock to-day. A committee
from the Republicans called OH Gov.
TOOle and informed him that their body
was ready for business. The governor
received them courteOusly and said that
while personally he was glad to see
them, he could not recognize the com
mittPe officially, as the body they repre-
sented had not met in the place desig-
mated by him as the legislative assem-
bly, hall. When the committee made
ifs report, it was referred back to them
and four members added. who will
make further report tomorrow. The
Democratic house made its temporary
organization permanent and appointed
a committee to notify the governor that
it was ready for business. Gov. Toole
fully recognized the body they repre-
spnted, but said he would make no com
munication to the legislature until both
bodies met in Joint session. The senate
met and adjourned. the Democrats still
absenting themselves. On the report
of the Republican committee who
waited on the governor, if is thought,
the future course of that party depends.
Rev. G. B. Allen, who was elected
chaplain of the Republican mouse, has
failed to appear in that body up to date.
A committee was appointed to-day to
wait upon him and notify him of his
election. Near friend Alf said tonight
that tine reverend gentleman would de-
cline the honor, and in way that would

The manGamuS was issued at the i'm.
stance of Attorney BigeIow. counsel for
Miller. This is one of three similar
cases now pending in the interior de-
partment. Commissioner Raum is pre-
pairing his answer. anu it is understood
he will take the ground that his refusal
to grant the increase is matter simply
of discretion. and that mandamus can
not lie to compel him to change his dis
crptiOn; that mandamuS can only lie
to compel public officer to perform a
duty laid down plainly in the law. and,
therefore, he thinks the court should
dismiss the writ.

Special to the Globe
Huron, s. D., Nov. 25-Gov. Mellette
and Secretary of State Ringsrud arrived
here this afternoon. Gov. Mellette says
there is no truth in the reported un-

presence of President Harrison was
mere pleasantly, and so regarded by
those who head it. Senator Moody and
the governor are on the best of terms.
The governor doesn't know how the
necessary expenses of the state are to
be paid from revenues provided for. but
believes the legislature will devise
some means for paying what is absO-
lutely necessary. Secretary Ringsrud
is on his way to Chicago with ctrtiti-
Gates of election of Senators Moody and

and only needed the seal to make them
complete. In Chicago MIR. Ringsrud
will meet Senator Pettigrew, who will
convey the certificates to Washington.

main building of the territorial insane
asylum burned at an early hour Sunday
morning. Two men named Keen and

within an hour the main building was

THE DUTY ON CIRCULATION


rs commended upon the ground that the
present tax is unit to the banks. he
cause IL is imposed on account of priv
ilege now valueleSS, and the revenues
of the government are in excess of its
requirements. He calls attention that
the burden of enforced deposits is
felt most severely where the current
rate IF interest is highest, and where
the banks organize with smallest capi-
tai. The creation of the Office of assist
ant examiner is recommended. The
comptroller has avoided the discussion
of the various plans when have been
suggested or substituting other Secur-
tiles for United States bonds as basis
of circulation. He is of the opinion
that the consideration of propositions
looking to the adoption of untr ed meas
ures would involve a delay fraught with
danger to the national banking system
in its present exigency. In his opinion,
the adoption of certain amendme nts
proposed will afford the relief now nee
essary and give an Opportunity for
proper deliberatiOn before adopting
more radical measures. He does not
recommend any issue of long-date
bonds, which would defer the payment
OF the present issues as they mature,
but favOrS reduction of interest upon
existing bonds to 2 per cent, by the
prepayment of holders of the difference
between that rate of interest and the 4
per cent interest which the bonds now
carry.
