A CAPITAL IDEA.
What New York Merchants Say OF
the International Bank.

NEW YORK, May 29.-President Harri-
sons recommendation to Congress to legis-
late upon the subject of an International
American Bank, which should not only in
crease our trade with Central and South
America, but make New York instead of
London the financial centre of the American
republics, has excited great deal of COM
ment in financial and South American ship
ping circles. The sentiment OF a majority
of the financial element was voiced by Presi-
dent ]. Edward Simmons of the Fourth Ma
tion Bank.
"The idea of organizing an International
American Bank. said Mr.. Simmons, sis a
first class one. If Congress passes bill in
cooperating such bank the stock will: be
Ss by the ba Ssn beaded se man
doubtedly pay"
Half dozen other financial authorities
who were interviewed expressed the same
views.
Charles X. Flint, who is at the head of the
American trade, said that the idea was a
very good one. AS one of the delegates to
the Pan-American Congress ne signed the
report of the committee on banking, embody-
ing the proposed scheme. His close rela-
tionship with the South American republics
gives him thorough knowledge of the
needs to increase our trade in this direction.
This idea." said Mr. Flint, ''has been
adopted by the Republics of America as one
of the needs to facilitate trade betw cen
| North and South America. The idea is en-
dorsed by President Harrison, and there is
no doubt that it will become a law. There
will be plenty subscriptions for the bank
stock, and there is no doubt of the banks
success when established"
The reasons that the banks already estab-
lished in this city do not meet the needs OF
the traders are: First, because they have
no branches in South American cities, and
second, because under the provisions of the
United States banking act the banks are
not allowed to issue documentary letters of
credit In the charter for the proposed in
ternational bank this privilege is expressly
stipulated.

PARIS, May 29.-Deputy Deloncle. In an
article In the Steele on the Newfoundland
dispute, calls the Newfoundland legislatures
address TO the Queen an impertinent mani
festo, to which he says Lord Salisbury will
send fitting answer. 1t proves, however,
he continues, the urgent necessity for a solu-
tion Of the question. II England only had
the courage TO make the proposals which he
recently suggested, VIZ. to submit the dis
pute to arbitration. to compensate the French
fishermen an give France some indemnity,
such as territory In Africa, In return for her
surrender OF her diplomatic rights, together
with an additional proposal reserving to
France the right to buy bait In Newfound-
land for the Great Bank fisheries, her over
lures would be favorably received In Paris
and an amlcable settlement would easily be
arranged. Only let the two cabinets open
negotiations seriously and the colonial au-
thorities would see that the hour for recrim-
nation had passed and that 1t would be to
their immediate interest not to hinder the
diplomacy Of the home government.

FAvoRARLY REPORTED.
Bills for Public Buildings at Bar
Harbor and Lewiston,

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The House went
into committee of the whole on public build
ings bills. The special order setting a day
for the consideration of measures of this
character, provides that bills shall be taken
up according to the direction of the commit
tee on public buildings and grounds.
Mr.. Milliken of Maine said, regarding the
bills, that, politically, two Republican bills
would be called up, and then one Democrat
ic bill. This was about the proportion of
Republican and Democratic measures on the
calendar.
Mr.. Mills thought this arrangement unfair.
The committee should alternate between the
two Sides
Mr.. Allen of Michigan declared that the
whole question of passing public buildings
measures was vicious. General laws on the
subject should be enacted. AS long as the
system prevailed, there was nothing fair in
passing two Republican bills to one Demo-
cratic. Politics should have nothing to do
with the question. He could not sit calm
ly and hear men talk about dividing post Of
fees according to the politics of the House.
The bill which gave rise to this discussion
was that called up by Mr.. Milliken for the
erection of public building at Bar Harbor,
| Me-, at a cost of $4,000.
Mr.. Bynum of Indiana thought it time to
| call halt in the construction of public
buildings at such places as Bar Harbor and
| Houlton, Me.
Mr.. Taylor of Ohio, thought that necessity,
not politics, should govern the committee In
calling up bills.
Mr.. Williams of Illinois, opposed the
pending bill, declaring that no system of log
rolling should be allowed to carry it through
The receipts of the postofice at Bar Harbor
did not equal three-quarters of one per cent
of the sum it was proposed to appropriate.
Mr. Miliken defended the bill and de-
clared Bar Harbor to be the grandest water
ing place on the Atlantic coast During the
winter it contained about 1000 inhabitants,
and during the summer 10000, 10000 or 80,
900 people we're there. The bill was finally
laid aside favorably, as were also several
others of like character. Among them was
that appropriating for st. .Albans, Vt, $40,-
COO; Haverhill, Mass, $4,000; Lewiston,
Me, $4,000; Taunton, Mass. $4,000, and
Pawtucket. r, l., $4,000 The committee
rose and the House proceeded to consider
the bills reported from the committee of the
whole, the first being the Bar Harbor bill:
Mr. Turpie raised a point of no quorum and
without action the House, at $40 adjourned
until Monday.
