THE NEW BANK BILL.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial Of to-day, entitled 50 The New
Bank BILL you discover very properly two i'm
portant objections TO the same. TO wit that the Gov
eminent, exclusively, should issue a banking paper
circulation and the other that deposit of bonds to
a bank issue should be required to any extent
1t seems hardly necessary to argue the first propo
ston as that has been long and often discussed in
refutng the Grccnback lnnatonists' doctrine. As 10
the second proposition, ii is patent that banbnote
ought to be secured beyond peradventure. No pru-
dent bank officer would deny this.
But l would suggest that another very important
object which Mr. Knox has in mind unquestion-
ably, which you have omitted In your editorial discus
siOn is that he Is trying 10 provide means by winch
the present National bank system may be continued
I'm force and the number Of National banks constantly
added to- for II is manifest that comparatively few OF
the new banks being started over the country are
undertaken under the National system. 1t must be
made attractive; that Is to with some profit To
accrue from the system to intending investors, we'll
as those already in the SYSTEM that these latter
NAV remain and think this bin which Mr.. Knox has
so long considered and carefully prepared should
meet with the hearty approval first of all antireen-
back people: second OF those who want wellsecured
bank circulation third, Of business men who believe
that the National banks conducting the commerce
OF the country safely and WELL and above any system
on earth and should aim to have IL maintained by the
enactment Of so excellent "A law As is now proposed.

THE BROTHERS STRAUSS.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Is Johann Strauss not considered the best
composer of the three brothers Does he not lead an
orchestral And was it he or Edward that here
in 1869?
At the representation Of Die Walkure" in 1877,
at the Academy of MUST. the opera proper pre-
coded by fanfare played by the brass orchestra upon
the balcony outside the building. What was 1t, and
why is it omitted at the Metropolitan QUERIST.
Johann is the best of the brothers as compos-
ers, and it was he who visited America at the
time mentioned. The fanfares were phrases taken
from the drama. They are omitted, because to
perform them is foolish afYectaton of a feature
of the Bayreuth performances. There they are
used to call the people back into the theatre,
there being an intermission of an hour between
the acts. They are not a part of the drama

SENATOR CHANDLER BEFORE THE NAVAL

Washington JAM Ex-senator Chandler appeared
this morning before the Court of Inquiry that is max
ing investigation under his resolution of December
49, in regard to organizations among Naval officers
lie said that in April 1852, shortly after he became
Secretary of the Navy he called upon by Richard
Merrick, who said he employed counsel for the
Line Officers Association. The Secretary had replied
that he considered such organization iniudicous,
and, later in the Year, when arguments were made
before him by the counsel of the line and the staff he
gave 1t his opinion that the formation of organiza
tons improper, and the employment of counsel
anomalous. The Senator produced circular sent out
in October, 1888. by the Line Officers Association
Executive Committee marked confidential" addressed
10 line officers of the Navy, calling for annual Sub
scrptons OF $40 each lie said he did not in general
consider the methods employed by the officers in at
tempting TO influence legislation derogatory 10
their character in fact he did not object TO the open
employment OF counsel by individuals bodies or tho
solicitation Of money, if known and approved by the
Secretary OF the Navy But ne did object to these
methods if pursued secretly. lie added that he had
never known of the employment OF any corrupt
means bv Naval officers to influence legislation. The
court will probably adjourn finally tomorrow.

pprNrERs FOR INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.


washington, Jan. 3o.-A delegation from Columbia
typographical Union appeared before the House Com
Tn,ttee IN the Judiciary this morning to urge the
massage Of the Chace International Copyright BILL
Thcv presented set Of resolutions adopted by the
convention of typographical unions at Denver last
June.
Mr. oates wished to know why the printers favored
the bill The spokesman, J. L. Kennedy, said that
there was selfish reason; the printers believed That
the effect of its passage would be TO stimulate book
printing in the United states, and transfer 10 this
country large part of the work now done In England
Mr.. Rogers asked If the passage OF the bill would
not decrease the publication Of cheap foreign works
here. and thereby reduce printers work Mr. Kennedy
answered that the force Of the printers engaged In
cw-York in this work had largely de
creased In late years. Plates were now
struck from the type and distributed among
a half-dozen publishing houses; so that the
opponents Of the bill could before the committee
and produce what apparently hafdozen edi-
tons of English book Issued by many publishing
houses in this country. although the type had really
been set only once. This practice would be broken
up If the bill passed.
