Be Renewed in Congress.
WASHINGTON, Oct. I5-The agitation
for the Incorporation of the International
American bank will probably be renewed
in the next congress, although it is
likely to be difficult to obtain favorable
action. The bank plan was one of the
outgrowths of the Pan-American con-
ference, and the list of incorporators
named in the bill which Senator Sherman
introduced June II, 1890, gives the names
of the American delegates to the confer
ence.
Will Prove a Stumbling Block.
Charles r. Flint, of New York, was the
United States member of the committee
on banking and took most active inter
est in promoting the bill before con-
gress last summer. Mr. Flint is ex-
pected to appear before the committee of
the new congress and urge the measure
again, but hostility to banks in general
is likely to prove something of a stumb-
ling block in his way. The purpose of
the international hank is to promote
closer trade relations with countries
south of US

The question naturally arises, how
many does it take to compose a club?

fill all the Offices, and McNurray would
be forced to make q quorum in both

R. P.Flower, the Democratic candidate
for governor OF New York, does not use
liquors at his table, he is IN the habit OF

and he does not permit his employers to

poses him. 1t declares that il his alb

that if genuine, it would be dangerous to
