ana in the interest OF the many creditors.
p. F. Dunno had co suggest that the
position taken by the Bank Commissioners
be clearly defined.
Frank M. Stone said that he had with
drawn from the case and appeared merely
as amicus curi8. He said he hoped that
economy would be exercised in winding
UP the banks affairs. and tnat the bank
directors should from time to time report
to the Bank Commissioners. The purpose
both of the hank directors, and also OF the
Bank Commissioners. should be expressed.
Judge Hebbard said that the Bank Com
missioners would have full power to act,
providing of course that no extravaganza
or excess was incurred. 1t would be the
business of the court to see that their work
was done properly.
p. +. Dunno said that the bank directors
had surrendered everything and had even
waived their right to appoint employees to
assist in the winding up OF the concern.
This speech brought forth lengthy retort
from w. Il. Baggett, represent ting the tenn
porary receiver, who said that the answer
filed that day was the only answer they
could have filed under the circumstances.
The attorneys then retired with Judge
Hebbard into his chambers. where in-
formal arguments were held upon the de-
crees. In the end Judge Hebbard signed
a decree as presented by the plaintiffs and

When the news was first telegraphed
from New York that the Brazilian Gov
ernment was negotiating for the purchase
of swift vessels with which to improvise
fleet of armored cruisers to battle with
Mello's ships local owners of steam yes-
sels were much exercised over the posi-
blities Of finding purchasers for their
craft who would be willing to pay good
prices in cash. The hopes Of these ship
owners have not been altogether unfound-
ed, for it now comes to light that for the
past ten days or more there have been in
our midst Two represen tatives of Pexoto
who have been quietly looking over all the
unchartered shipping in the harbor.
thinking perhaps that some Of it might be
available for warships or transports.
These two agents are not known by
name except to certain business men who
do not desire as yet to make public the
plans of the Brazilian Government.
The agents have already indirectly made
an offer. or rather have asked for figure,
for the British tramp steamer Sirius,
Creek. An inspection has been made of
the steamer and Messrs. Oliver 81 Co.,
owners Of the vessel, have named price.
Information has been collected concern
ing the speed, coal capacity and construc-
tion of number of steamers sailing from
this port and the Brazilian Government
has been kept in formed by telegraph, either
through Flint & Co. of New York or by
cable via Galveston.
A CALL reporter questioned repre-
sentative of Messrs. Oliver d Co. concern

was told that price for the vessel had
been named, but that no sale had yet been

the reporters questioning, I'VE know that
there are agents of the Brazilian Govern
ment here looking for ships and have
given them price for the Sirius through
third party. The North American Navi-
cation Company has been negotiating for
the steamer also, but we have not sold her
yet to either party"
Along the water front it was learned
that some effort had been made to secure
crews of good men to man vessel (or
vessels) which Is to sail for Rio Janeiro
from San Francisco. Several persons had
been approached and requested to con-
slider the proposition of shipping.
None Of the steamship companies has

There are also number Of tramp steam
ers that might be secured. including the
Bawnmore, Montserrat and other we'll
known colliers. but 1t is doubtful whether
any of these latter coulu be converted into
cruisers which would be OF any great
service to the Brazilian President.
The Sirius Is by means fast vessel,

hard pressed for ships to select her as

what it desires is a tranSport-boat or
craft In which to ship supply OF stores

| Fatality has attended the Sirius. 1t was
only recently that she was sold at public
auction to satisfy a demand made upon
her owners by Messrs. Oliver 81 Co. Her
owners were the Meek Bros. one OF

While steaming under the name OF the

authorities, but during a calm night her

thought that the "hoodoo" upon her was
removed by this action. But no, the Sirius
got into more trouble al Callao and at Iqui-
que and came near being seized, provisions
and all.
A good story is told of how the Sirius
came near being fired into by one of the
insurgent squadron while off the Peruvian
coast. She was coming along under full
head of steam and her course was shaped
for CallaO.
1t so happened that the Balmaceden
Government torpedo cruiser Almirante
Condell was suspected of being in the vi
cinty to take on supplies from German
tramp steamer, and the insurgent gun
boat Cochran was lying too close to the
coast with all lights extinguished, ready
for the Condell. Decks were cleared for
action, and everything was in readiness for
a broadside. The Cochran ran close III
to the Sirius course. and was just on the
point of opening fire when the mistake
was discovered.
TO convert the Sirius into a cruiser
would require great deal Of time and
labor, and the suppositiOn is that she is
wanted simply as transport.
Flint 81 Go. are said TO have unlimited
means at their disposal for the purchase
of vessels for Piexotto, and several OF our
local steamer-ownerS are anxious to make
deal with the New Ork house.
At present Mello has only one heavy
ironclad in his fleet. 1t is the Republlca,
and she is not altogether of modern type.
Should PeiXotO's agents purchase and
convert number of vessels like the Zea-
landa the improvised fleet might be we'll
