THE DBFUEOT N

The case Of G. II. Dane, president Of
the defunct Deming and Silver City
banks, was not tried at the present
term OF court at Las Cruces, as vas
expected, his counsel, T. b. Catron,
being detained in Chicago. His bail
was reduced from $4,000 to $40, 1000,
which amount he is said to be able to
give.
The Demlng Headlight prints the
following regarding the knowledge the
department had Of the state Of affairs
in Deming many months previous to
the failure:
A letter has come to light, dated at
Washington, d. O., September 18th,
1890, and signed by r. NJ. Nixon, dep
uty and acting controller Of the cur
rency, and addressed to G. II. Dane,
as presidentof the First national bank
Of Deming, which shows beyond all
question that the treasury officials at
Washington we're fully informed as to
the rotten condition of the bank here
nearly eighteen months before they
closed this bank. 1 quote various ex
pressions from the letter:
"Overdue paper to the amount of
SIS, 572.29.
"The examiner reports that You
have granted accommodations to your
self and members Of your family, and
to your cashier and his relatives,
amounting in all to $50, ia u, OF
about 80 per cent. Of your entire notes
and bills discounted, and that these
loans are without security.
ut appears from the report that
you hold notes as follows: Murat Mas
%terson, for 81, 700, due January 2nd,
1891, and one for $1,000, due January
1st, 1889, and your cashier claims that
these notes have been extended by
payment of interest, but it does not
appear that any interest has ever beer
paid upon them and the examiner
states that there is little prospect Of
collecting them.
"The report shows that you hold th'
following shares of stock which were
purchased as an Investment. = =
You are respectfully informed tina
there does not appear to be any pro
vision in the national bank actauthor
izing the purchasing and holding o
such stocks as an investment"
This is sufficient to clearly demon
strate that, as in the cases Of the Key
stone and Spring Garden banks il
Philadelphia, the authorities at Wash
ington had the information months il
advance, which, if used in a name
as contemplated by law, would hay
saved thousands of dollars to deposit
ors and stockholders.

George Talks Against the Repeal Bill
and Gray Speaks for II.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-In the senate
Morgan OF Alabama presented q petition
from the citizens of his state i'm favor of
the repeal Of the Sherman act. He said il
was one of the petitions sent out by the
New York bankers, and he considered il a
mandate from them, not from the people
of Alabama.
Voorhees, moved that tho repeal bill be
taken up. After sharp passage between
him and Platt Of New Jersey, who wished
the rules providing for cloture, the latter
yielded to George of Mississippi, who adj
dressed the senate in opposition to the
bill.
When George finished, Voorhees, moved
that the sergeant-at.arms be directed to
enforce the attendance OF absent sena-
tors. Dolph. republican, OF Oregon, sug-
gcsted that tho sergcant-at-arms be di-
rected to request" instead of ''enforce,"
the attendance Of senators. When ii was
announced that a quorum was present,
Teller said he desired to state that he did
not answer when his name was called
because il occurred to him that he would
be recognizing rule never recognized in
the senate-that the presiding officer had
right to call senator ON roll call unless
the senator addressed the chair. The
vice president informed the senator from
Colorado that he had not counted him.
George then yielded the floor to Gray,
democrat, Of Delaware, who spoke in
advocacy of the repeal bill. After q short
executive session the senate adjourned.

work at once upon the new tariff bill. L.

sets, raw ivory and piano forte ivor-
les. +. ]. Remer of New York complained
thas the duty on silk was too high, so high,

silk paid 50 per cent. less wages than is
