Tanongo had provided at fewest, three
Italian premiers with money TO be spent

years these sum had aggregated five mill
lion francs. most Of which had been spent
to strengthen the Government In the

Messrs. Drexel. Morgan & Co.:
Gentlemen,-Sinc the time you were
previously requested TO take up the re-
organization of the Richmond Terminal
system much time and thought have been
devoted It's affairs. and we realize that
adverse financial conditions and also the
present general distrust OF all plans for

be undertaken by parties possessing the
confidence OF both the security holders
and the public. and also the financial
strength sufficient for its accomplish
ment
We. therefore, ask you to take I'D this
reorganization OF the Richmond Terminal
and it's allied properties. each pledgng
you our personal support and aid. In full
confidence that the security holders will
support US in this request.
We appreciate the labor and RESPONSE
bility connected with this undertaking.
and are therefore. willing to do all In
our power to give you full control OF the
reorganization as suggested in your letter
OF June 2Sth, and to advise our friends
and the security holders generally 20 de-
posit their securities without requiring the
assurances customary In such cases.
Very respectfully.

CENTRAL TRUST co. OF NEW YORK,
"a Wall street Feb. 2, 1898.
Messrs. William j. Clyde and Associates:
Gentlemen.--I have read with pleasure
the letter which you and your associates
propose sending to Messrs. Drexel. Nor
gan q Co., and concur in the wisdom OF
the course proposed by you. l feel that
it is essential for the interests of the
bondholders and stockholders under many
OF the trust deeds represented by me
that an early and comprehensive reor-
ganization OF the Richmond Terminal
properties should be brought about. and
/ will gladly cooperate by all the means
In my power and consistently with the
provisions OF its trust In facilitating and
promoting such course, should Messrs.
Drexel, Morgan & Co. decide to undertake
the reorganization. Most truly yours.

President.
Messrs. Drexel, Morgan q Co., In an
swering the letter OF the Richmond Ter
mnal Company's directors. said that IL
had been some time since they had paid
any attention 10 the affairs of the COM
pany. They would however. examine into
its affairs. and If the condition were sat-
isfactory they would undertake the work.
The news was not announced until
after the close OF business on Wall street.
but the very heavy speculation In the
stock indicated that Developments Of
some sort were pending
1t seems that the directors found them
selves unable to make any headway to-
ward bringing the company out OF it's
troubles, and appealed to Drexel, Morgan
& Co. again to help them out.

investigators of MANY Needs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-When the
Judiciary Committee OF the iouse was
directed by resolution TO investigate the
Finkerton system and the Homestead
troubles il delegated that duty to a COM
mittee, consisting of five Of its members.
Four of those members this morning laid
before the judiciary Committee four re-
ports In each report there Is something
which its author regards as essential, and
to which his colleagues will not agree.
The fifth member has not written re-
port but he is unwilling TO agree TO any
one OF the four reports. and thinks there
is something Objectionable In each or
them. The judiciary Committee met this
morning and spent some time IN a discus
sion of the several reports. The basis or
consideration in full committee Is the
report drafted by Mr.. Oates. chairman
OF the srecial Investigating Committee.
This report In a general way is more
re dicaI In its conclusions than other mem
hers think II should be. and 1t also says
that the Federal Government has no
power to interfere In disputes such as
The Homestead affair The other reports
are all before the committee as subsu-
tutes for the Oates report.

me president and Cashier Used the Money
for Their Own purposes

LITTLE ROCK. ARK. Feb. 2.-The
First National Bank. Of this city. will
not open for business to-day. Its liabil-
ties are understood to be over half
million. The cause that led TO the suspen-
sion was the issuance of fraudulent paper
by former officers Of the bank to the
AMOUNT of several hundred thousand dol
lars.
About ten days ago the bank passed
through terrible crisis. but through the
timely arrival and assistance of Logan
IL. Root. its former president, confidence
was again restored. and the public had
begun 10 think the institution as solvent
as ever. The bank was reorganized nearly
two weeks ago with Colonel Root as
president and DR.. c. Nj. Taylor vice
president
In an interview Root said: when
took charge of the bank the statement
showed that Hresident Allis and his
friends had personally taken more than
$4,000 of the banks money, and for
which there was but very little security.
Since then the paper has been presented
bearing the Endorsement Of the banks
name by either President Allis or Cashier
Denny that was not on the books Of the
institution. More than 100000 of such
paper has already appeared. and rumors
have been received Of more than double
that amount. There is no way of ascer-
tanning the exact amount of such fraudu-
lent paper out for which the bank has
never received one cents benefit. Under
the circumstances we thought 1t best to
close the Institution and place its af-
fairs in the hands OF the Government.
1.-THE form of most of the unrecorded
paper Is simply ordinary promissory
notes Most OF which we have seen are
signed by either CITY Electric Street
Railway Company" press Printing
Company" 1.-THE Mccarthy Joyce Com
pany." or other persons closely con-
nected with Mr. Allis, all indorsed in
the banks name by Alis and Denny.
Whether depositors will be paid in full
or not depends on many things. The
stockholders are liable TO an assessment
in aggregate of $4,000. Whether all can
or will pay no one can say. 1t has as
sets. of course. that are Of value, but as
10 the unknown and unrecorded labili-
ties no mortal can tell. The capital
stock Of the bank was 100000; surplus,
100000"
