Kansas world fair fund is about exhausted,
and that the loss of the 81, 100 in the Chemi-

Banks 10 be Examined Twice.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 11.-Comptroller
of the Currency Eckles has arranged a
plan for the examination of national banks,
so as to make them safer institutions than in
the past.
Heretofore examinations have been made
yearly. Hereafter two examinations will
be made and the plan provides that the two
examinations of the same bank shall not be
made by the same examiner.
The plan will necessitate the employment
of twice the number of present examiners,
but there will be no extra expense to the
government, for the expense of examina-
lions are to paid by the banks themselves.

THE WAR DEPARTMENT.

Gen. Joseph B. Doe. Adjutant General
on the Staff of Gov. Peck of Wisconsin,
Chosen rs Successor to Gen. l.. \. Grant
as Assistant Secretary of War.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The resigna-
tion of Gen. l.. A. Grant, assistant sec.
retary of war, which was rendered to
the president ON the incoming Of the
administration, has been accepted, to
take effect December Is. and it is an
nounced that Gen. Joseph B. Doe, ad.
jutant general Of the Wisconsin na.
tional guard, has been selected as his
successor.
Gen. Doe is lawyer residing at
Janesville, Wis. His name does not
appear on the register of either the
volunteer or the regular army, and as
he is said to be quite young man it is
inferred that he did not see service
during the war of the rebellion and
that his military experience has been
confined to the Wisconsin national
guard. He is reported to possess
marked executive ability, Secretary
Lamont stated some time since that he
did not wish change made in the Of.
flee of assistant secretary of war un.
less he could find an assistant secre.
tary who would practically relieve
him of all the military routine work Of
the Office. Gen. Doe, it is reported
fills the bill.

A CIPHER TELEGRAM


Received by the Navy Department from
Capt. Picking and Looked Upon as
Significant, Indicating that the Powers
Have Tired of the Hinderance to Trade
at Rio Janeiro and Propose to Put Stop
to II.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ia cipher
telegram received by the navy depart
ment last evening from Capt. Picking,
under Yesterdays date, from Rio de
Janeiro, is looked upon as significant
and possibly indicating weakening
OF the strength of the insurgent feet
under Admiral Mello. The translation
was as follows:
Naval representatives OF eight nations, In
Guiding our nation, have decided not to per.
NIT munitions OF war to he landed at RIO.
Santos being still In possession OF the Brazil
ian government, and connected with Rio de
Janeiro by railway, munitions of war can be
landed at Santos Yesterday the insurgents
dressed ship. The Brazilian government forts
fired a national salute in honor Of the estab-
lishment bt the republic.
The only Interpretation to be put
upon this dispatch is that the naval
Representatives at Rio have decided
that there shall be no interference
with commerce and have formally noti-
| fed the insurgsnt admiral they will
prevent it. The probabilities are, and
this is the view taken by government
officials here, that this action weakens
Mello very much, for if he cannot close
the ports of Rio and bring the city
into subsection it cannot be conjec-
tured how he can make his rebellion
| successful.
1t looks to naval officers very much
as if Mello had been badly Grip
pied This action is in line with that
indicated in previous dispatches from
Capt. Picking to the effect that foreign
Representatives held conference and
notified Mello that he must respect the
nationality of any lighter engaged in
unloading vessels and flying the flag
at its bow indicating its nationality.
1t appears that a studied effort has
been made to give Mello no excuse to
fire upon the city.
| An agreement was made some time
ago that there should be no firing be
tween the forces in Rio and the insur-
gents in the bay. This was violated
on one occasion, although it is mo-
known if any damage resulted. To
days dispatches indicate that th'
naval officers on duty there in thei
protection of foreign interests are de
termined that this agreement shall b'
enforced; for this last notice is the re
suit of concerted action on the part o
the allied powers to prevent any tirinl
upon the city and damage to commerce
by either side

UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
Chicago VIII he an Unhealthy Place for
Night Prowlers.

CHICAGO, Nov. Recommending last
night Chicago will be, between the
hours of and a. m, practically un.
der martial law, with the police force
as garrison. Every person found on
the streets, outside the few streets
where business is carried on all night,
will be halted by officers in plain
clothes and required to give an account
of himself. He will be asked his name,
residence and the cause of his being
in the streets at so late an hour.
Every person so accosted who will give
the required information will be al.
lowed to proceed. Persons who refuse
to answer the questions, or who shall
act in suspicious manner or have
weapons or tools that might be used in
their possession, will be placed under
arrest. BY this rigid method it is
hoped that many of the midnight
providers who have committed so many
murders and burglaries recently will
be captured or frightened away from
the city.

EMlGRANTS' MOVABLES.
An Opinion by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in Regard to Railroad Rates
on .Emigrants' Movables."


WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s-The Interstate
commerce commission yesterday, in
an opinion by Commissioner Clements,
announced its decision in the cases OF
Blanton Duncan against the Atchison.
Topeka & Santa Fe system, and against
the Southern Pacific Railroad Co. and
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad
Co. The decision contains important
rulings on railway rates on household
goods and immigrants movables. Tn
der the western classification there
are two west-bound carload rates
from Mississippi river points to
Pacific coast terminals on goods termed
"Emiprants movables." One is gem
cral class rate and the other desig-
mated commodity" rate, and less
than the general rate; the latter rate
is published as being open to "intend-
ing settlers only" but in practice it is
given to shippers indiscriminately.
The committee holds that there is no
necessity for retaining the two rates,
and that the west bound rate on ''emi-
grants movables' from Louisville to
Los Angeles ought not TO be in excess
of the amount of the commodity rate
thereon.
