The Distribution Of Wealth.

The address of Comptroller Eek kels before the Bankers Convention recently assembled in Boston was replete with valuable suggestions. The speakers ability as a a1inancier and the high position which he holds in the present administration caused his remarks to be listened to with no small degree of interest. Of course he spoke of banks and their influence upon the commerce of the uation. They are important factors in the general prosperity
 The supreme function which they fill, H he said, is the distribution of the peoples wealth, so as to make it a never-ending source of benefit to all. Their prosperity is the pros perity of every other business in terest and their activity is the ac- tivity of every line of commerce in each branch of manufacture. De mand of them in a.moment of fright, the money given in their keeping that it may find lodgment in hiding places, and of necessity the banks must withdraw this life blood from the arteries of trade, and shop and store and factory must close and labor go unemployed.
 The suggestion is eminently cor rect It will be interesting to note that in the recent panic no less than $37S, 900, 900 were withdrawn from banks and hoarded in private places. The most solid institution is not the one which can show the largest amount in it's vaults, but the one which distributes the greatest amount of money and has un- questionable security for its out standing loans As the Comptroller says, the true function of bank is the distribution of wealth. This is impossible to accomplish, however, without the cooperation of de positors.

THE FIGHT RENE WED
Fort Villagagnon Fired Upon
 by Brazilian Troops.
NO GREAT DAMAGE DONE.
The Insurgent Leaders Hold Confer ence and Decide to Hoist the Impe- rial Flag-Citizens Taking Issue
 Against the Government.

LONDON. Nov, 15.-The Times has the following from Rio de Janeiro: There was heavy firing Sunday and Monday of last week by the govern ment forts on Fort Villagagnon. The outside walls of the latter fort show much damage, but the interior of the town is intact. Two men were killed and seven wounded within the fort Monday
 The troops at Kantillo opened fire on Fort Villagnaon from a distance of 1900 yards. The insurgent warship Acquidaban replied with her machine guns, killing or wounding 20 soldiers and four spectators. The firing con- tinues night and day. There is an im- mense waste of ammunition. Wednes- day two guns at Castillo fired at Fort Villagagnon and the AcQuidaban again replied with her machine guns. Many shells fell i'll the business portion of the city. Several persons were injured. This bonn bardment was, 1t is feared, the result of the action of the govern ment in firing from the town in contra vention of the agreement made with the representatives of the foreign powers
 A conference was held last Tuesday between the insurgent leaders whica has changed the situation of the much discussed question of the restoration of the empire. The conference resulted in the decision to shortly hoist the imper- ial flag The decision has created a good impression. Admiral Gema. chief of the naval college, and who is the ablest admiral in Brazil. hitherto main tained a neutral position, but has now openly joined the insurgents.
 The recruiting commission sent by the government into the state of Minos returned without men. The Acquida- ban has proceeded to sea to search for the new government cruiser Aurora. There are 5000 armed and we'll drilled insurgents at Dasterro. Several thou sand more surround the government troops in Rio Grande do Sul, De Lotos and Porto Algre. They propose to capture these towns and then proceed to DasterrQ.
 The present situation, if prolonged, threatens disaster to the commercial ill., terests of the country. The ma jority of the business community considers that the recognition of the insurgents as belligerents would be the speediest method of ending the war, as Admiral Mello asserts positively that his sole ob- ject is to establish a blockade and pre- vent further damage to property.
