plea for his life was answered by q pis-
toll shot, and all was over. The
murdered man 3 pockets were
rifled by blood-stained hands. The

annual convention of the American
bankers association met here to-day
The convention is the largest ever held
by the bankers, fully one thousand dele
gates being present from all parts.
President Parsons responded on behalf
of the delegates, and delivered the OPEN

development of banking in America from
the colonial time to the present The
progress had been wonderful, but many
Improvements were still possible in facn-

ing them conduct their business more
economical. He recommended that the
convention consider the following topics:
International circulation.
Uniform bill of ladiDg.
Uniform paper for the drawing of bills
of exchange.
National clearing house.
President st. John of the Mercantine

on legal tender and coinage. The speaker
favored the proposition that an act be
adopted by congress which should do
away, as rapidly as convenient, with
United States legal tender notes, and the
opening of United States mInts tot 1fts
