Spain ana her suite, accompanied by the
cabinet ministers OF the United States. the
diplomatic corps aud an otherwise dis
Uin9uished retiuue. today visited the tom b
of Washington. The trip was made on
the steamboat Charles McAllister, char
tered for the occasion. Marines stationed
at the gang plank saluted the princess as
she stepped aboard, escorted by Command
er Davis
Mount Vernon was reached at noon.
The party was greeted by throng, who
had awaited the arrival of the boat
After a few minutes spent at the tomb of
Washington, the mansion was visited.
On account OF the crowd but Short time
was spent III the historic building, and the
party soon started back, followed by the
crowd. Washington was reached at ,
o'clock and the infauta and party were
quickly driven to the Arlington.
This evening the intanta gave half
hour reception to the diplomatic corps.
At her request the diplomats did not wear
the uniform Of heir rank, but came in
evening dress. The affair was entirely
informal.
At 1890 o'clock the infanta and suite
took carriages to the British embassy,
where one Of the most elaborate social
functions of tue season took place. The
event was the celebration of the seventy
fourth anniversary OF Queen Nictorias
birthday. The handsome building lad
be en made a bower Of beauty at the hands
of the decorators. The members of the
cabinet, the supreme court, senator's and
representatives and other government of

banks. The officers of the Iowa bank were
engaged in running a stock farm and bor-
rowed largely of the bank to keep the
farm going. Comptroller Eckels would
like to break up such practices, and VIII
do il as far as he can without waiting for
new legislation. He viii instruct his eX-
amiuers TO scan the books of the banks
closely for cases of loans to officers, and
will direct attention to the fact that he
does pot approve them.
Another point to which the new comp
trolfer is directing his attention is the
original issue of bauk charters. He
promises to exact additional guarantees of
the standing and financial resources OF the
men who ask for charters, and Will en-
deavor to satisfy himself Of their response
bility before granting the authority,
which is in his discretion, Ito commence
the business of banking" He will prob
ably require from each 1ncorporator Il
personal statement Of bis assets and liabil-
lties and viii ask the mem bers of congress
from the district TO give some personal at
teution to the truthfuness of such repre-
sentation before afiixing his Endorsement,
as he is now called upon to 90 under the
regulations OF the treasury department.
Mr.. Eckels believes that it is useless to au-
thoriZe Institutions which are not strong
enough to stand permanently on their feet,
and that some discrimination should be
exercised in authorizing them in COM
munities already largely equipped with
banking facilities.

RECRUITING OFFICERS.

WASHINGTON. May 24-rhe recent on
slaught OF Secretary Lamont or officers
connected with the recruiting service has
created the impression in some quarters
that the new administration is not salts
fled with the present method of recruiting
in the army. This is mistake. His OBJ
lection has been to the favoritism display
ed in the selection of officers for this class
of service, solely for the purpose of giving
them a pleasant assignment away from
their regiment. Until the past year or two
the politicians have found 1t hard work to
break into the recruiting details. For
years 1t has been the custom to make reg
ular details Tor two years each OF one Ofii-
Ger from each OF the infantry and cavalry
regiments, the odd mum bered regiments
being called upon one year and the even
the next These officers, under the regula-
tions, are nominated by their company
commanders.
In addition to the above thirty officers
are selected for service at recruiting depots
in instructing the recruits. ten each at
Columbus Barracks, Ohio: David : Island,
y. y, and Jefferson Barracks, Mo.
SiXly-1iye company officers comprise the
Legitimate detail, but before Secretary
Lamont commenced the weeding-out pro-
cess there were about fifteen in excess of
this number. 1t is the purpose of the Sec
retary to carry out the recruiting system
as heretofore, but with less nnmbe of
officers. The method of regimehtal re-
cruiting lately lDaugUrated will especially
be pushed by the new administration.
There are several regiments now practic-
ally self productive.
BY this it is meant the officers of the
regiments concerned fill all vacancies in
the ranks as rapidly as they occur by local
enlistment. When this is impracticable
the officers are sent to neighboring dis
tricts or states 10 secure The proper kind
Of men.

NATIONAL BANK REFORMS.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Among the
recommendations which are 10 be made to
The next congress by the secretary of the
treasury Is measure 10 limit the loaning
of money of national banks TO their officers
and directors, and TO require a recorded
yea or nay vote when such loans are made.
such bill was introduced in the last
house and went through that body with
out much opposition, but it was loaded
down in the senate by an amendment Of
fered by Senator Sherman increasing the
circulation of the banks TO the par vaine
Of their bond deposits. This threw the
bill into conference, and the conference
report was never called up in either house.
The new comptroller of the currency has
had his attention forcIbly called to the
need of such legislation by several of the
recent failures II the west Biz loans 10

HOME ESTEAD LAW,

WASHINGTON, Nay 24-The attention Of
Secretary Smith has been called by the
commissioner OF the general land office to
the recent decision OF the United States
supreme court in the Berrier case, in
which it was held that in case OF the death
of "A homesteader leaving no widow, but
both adult and minor heirs, the patent
issued should issue to all the heirs equal
ly, and not TO the minor heirs to the eX-
cluslon of the adults. This is contrary to
the uniform ruling of the general land
office, and the commissioner asked whether
The practics should be changed 10 conform
10 the supreme courts decision.
The secretary answered in the affirma-
tive, and holds that all cases in conflict
with the decision referred to must be con-
sidered as overruleG. Hereafter all pat
ents issued must conform to the decision.
