THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS.

Mr.. Furbisll's Annual Report Laid he
fore Congress-.
The annual report of Clinton Kurdish. di-
rector of the bureau of American republics,
has been laid before Congress. Since the
date Of the last report the bureau has Is
sued hand books of the Argentine Repub-
lie, Ecuador, Haiti, Nicaragua and Santo
Domingo twelve monthly bulletins and the
fiji st volume of the code of the commercial
nomenclature of $50 pages. The hand
bCCkS Of Honduras, Salvador and Paraguay
are in print and nearly ready for issue
The second volume of the code of nomen-
clature is also in print The issue OF the
above, the report says, will complete the
series of hand books of the republics form
Ing an international union, and the bureau
is thus left with better opportunity for the
discharge of duties that have deVolVed up
on it by the dissemination OF more specific
information regarding the different coun-
tries.
AS knowledge of the policy of selling the
publications of the bureau became more
widely known, the director reports, the
sales constantly increased and the office is
ir receipt of abundant evidence that those
having need of it's information are willing
to pay the slight charges made.
The Argentine Republic has withdrawn
from the union, but the United States Of
Colombia. which had notified the bureau
tfat by reason Of financial conditions it
would be unable to contribute its quota
after June 30, 1893 has since paid it's quota
for 1898. No such intimation has been re-
celVed from any other government. and
Director Kurdish assumes their intention
to pay their quotas within a reasonable
time
The director repeats his suggestion made
IN MS last report as to the propriety of in
wiling the meeting of the representatives
OF the foreign governments interested for
the purpose of consulting upon matters
connected with the future work of the bu-
reau. Every mail. he points out, brings in
cIeasing evidence of the interest In the
work Of the bureau manifested by the peo-
pes of the different republics.

cOuraging to Stock hOlders.

Late yesterday afternoon Receiver G..
Hatley Norton of the Fidelity Building AMI
Loan Association filed the report which
Judge Cox Monday last directed him to
file within five days. The report will af-
ford little comfort to the stockholders, the
receiver stating that there Is an excess of
liabilities over assets Of $3GC21. Mr.. Nor
ton states that he found the books of the
association in bad shape. the accounts hav-
ing been neglected and that he performed
much labor in bringing them up to date.
Because Of the fact that proper books were
not kept he states that outstanding bills
and salaries cannot be calculated exactly.
He finds that the affairs Of The association
were impro-i1ently managed, and that
there was a Ear greater proportion of the
receipts disbursed for expenses than was
allowed Or authorized by the constitution
of the association. A loan of S. 4S1, he
says was made to an independent associa-
ton without any adequate security.

bilities the first months dues, Mr.. Norton
gives the following items of receipts and
expenditures: Receipts-Instalment stock

Amendments to the Bill That Were
Defeated In the Senate.

Defeated In the Senate.
The appropriations committee of the Sem
ate had very hard afternoon yesterday.
It's amendments to the post office appro-
priation bill We're bowled out with regu-
larity that must have been very monoto-
nous to Mr.. Blackburn in charge of the
bill, and his associates on the committee.
The proposition advanced by the committee
to repeal all existing laws relating to the
expenditure of the fund Of over three mil
lion dollars for the postal car service. so
as to leave the expenditure entirely within
the discretionary power or the postmaster
General, was rejected by - majority. When
the Vice President put to the Senate the
question: rs the amendment in order?'
the yeas were IL, and the nays 3D. Still
greater was the defeat of Mr.. Villas propo-
sition that the government shall own and
maintain the postal cars. which was tabled
by the vote of 81 to 10. The committee
amendment striking out the item of $1&OOO
for the fast southern mail service from
Springfield. Mass, to Atlanta and New
Orleans. was rejected SO to %. Mr.. Sher-
mans amendment appropriating $15OOOO
for fast mail service from Cincinnati to
Texas was defeated 22 to 33. The amend
ment OF the committee striking out the
appropriation of $4,000 to pay agents and
assistants to distribute stamps was de-
feated.
An amendment by Mr. Villas, that was
antagoniSa;s by the committee, classifying
the postal clerks, was ruled out on a point
of order. An amendment offered by Mr..
Davis providing that in case of postal
clerks appointed before the order requiring
them to reside on the line Of the railroad
on which they serve. that rule shall not
be operative, was agreed to. When the
Senate adjourned the bill was still pend
ing. with amendment, offered by Mr.
Blackburn, before the Senate, reducing the
subsidy for the southern fast mail service
by 10 per cent.
