THE AUDITING COMMITTEE REPORTS EXCEL
LENT CONDITION OF FINANCES.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. %, 1894.
To the Board Of Directors Of the Washington Ma
tonal Building and Loan Association Wash.
ington. D. C.
Gentlemen: Your committee appointed to make
an investigation of the accounts and operations Of
The Washington National Building and Loan Asso-
citation beg leave to submit the following report,
1t has been purpose TO examine carefully
concerning the essential features Of building
association to wit:
First. How much has been paid into the Loan
Fund, and whether the same is intact:
Second. Ascertain Expense Fund receipts, ac-
count for same, and whether judiciously expended;
Third Investigate the plan of making loans and
whether securities sufficient.
1t is the unanimous opinion of your committee
that most excellent system is practiecd in plac-
ing loans, and that the greatest care is used to
protect the shareholders from any possible loss in
this important direction. This is strongly evil
denccd by the fact that in making the loans the
| association has secured first mortgages upon i'm
proved real estate, which would bring under a
forced sale at least SO per cent and above the
full amount loaned in nearly every case. When it
is remembered that each month the margin all
leans improves because the same are being regu-
larly repaid in monthly installments, there be
no doubt to the absolute security Of the Loan
Fund.
We made a personal examination OF every mort
gage, decd of trust together with the bond and
Insurance policy in each easel and found the Loan
Fund intact and well invested the securities men,
toned being deposit with the Washington Loan
and Trust Company of this city, trustee "a
financial institution having a paid-in capital of
81. eco 600.
Urder the bylaws these securities cannot be
hypothecated nor used, under any circumstances,
collateral.
We find that the association has received since
on in nrch
large amount Of si7O,3ss.24, and that We have
been able to trace every dollar of this to
either cash and securities en- hand, Withdrawals
paid to members (Which latter have been promptly
paid on demand, cash dividends on paid-up stock
or the legitimate expense Of establishing, main
tanning and conducting the business.
The Expense Fund has not only been accounted
for and judciousy expended, but an economical
policy has permitted the company to transfer from
this fund to the Loan Fund as profit to the share
holders the handsome sum Of over six thousand
dollars
This is considered as an unusually good showing
for the first eighteen months business OF ma
tional building and loau association
Before concluding our report, We take pleasure In
stating satisfaction with the excellent system
Of accounting, the ability aad integrity Of the
management and the general conduct Of the az
fairs of the association.

GOV. ALTGELD's MESSAGE.

Opposes Capital Punishment and Us
ing Federal Troops Against Strikers.
SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, January 1O.-Gov.
AltgeId's message went to the legisla ture
today.
The biennial message Of Governor Alt
geld to the thirty-ninth general assembly
of Illinois is very lengthy document,
nearly twenty thousand words. He doubts
the efficacy of capital punishment, favorS
such a civil service system that will keep
out the incompetents and preserve the
offices from being spoils. Speaking of the
administration of justice in large cities he
says that the condition of business in the
courts of Chicago almost amounts to. a
denial of justice. The VIII Die system should
be revised and simplfied at once. The
governor also calls attention to the con-
ditons surrounding police and justice
courts In Chicago, which he declares dis
grace. The revenue system in this state
is declared in it's practical workings to be
a giant of injustice.
Regarding the settling OF labor troubles
he says:
mo practical method of enforcing de-
cree of compulsory arbitration has been
found, but there is no difficulty In the way
of making compulsory investigation in
every case, and this alone would be
great preventative, as we'll as corrective"
He reiterates his former arguments against
the importation of federal troops as tend
ing toward despotis,n.
Government by injunctions," is dealt
with severely by the governor who says
the usurpation Of power on the part of the
federal judiciary has assumed form where
it is destroying the very foundation of re-
publican government.
Regarding anarchy he says:
"Our government is not in the slightest
danger from the anarchy of a mob. Our
danger comes from that corruption, usur-
patton insolence and oppression that go
hand in hand with vast concentration of
wealth welded by INSCRIPTIONS men, and
it behooves every friend of republican in
situations to give these things most serious
consideration"

ton of 10000, including the city of Denver

Dissension in the British Cabinet as
to Ireland.
JOHN MORLEY OPPOSED BY THE OTHERS
Report of the Assassination Of
Corea's King.
GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS

LONDON, January 1O.-The runored dis
sensicns in the British cabinet attracted
the greatest interest to today's cabinet
council, which met at noon, with all the
ministers present.
1t was said that the first difficulty exist
ing was that regarding Ireland. Sir Will
lam Harcourt, chancellor OF the eXchequer,
and Mr. John Morley, chief secretary for
Ireland are understood to have been OF the
opinion that the Irish must be satisfied, at
all costs, during the coming session of par
lament.
With this view. it is added, the premier,
Lord Rosebery, and the home secretary,
Mr.. Henry Asquith, and other members of
the cabinet do not agree. 1t is said that
the misunderstanding as to the disposal of
the surplus for 1895 is much more serious
than was at first believed, the main point
at issue being the claim raised by some of
the cabinet ministers and others that this
surplus should be devoted to the use Of the
navy.

Railroad Concession.
The Commissioners have returned to Con-
gress. with several amendments, House
hill 1851. to amend the act to incorporate
the Maryland and Washington Railway
Company. The amendments made by the
Commissioners are important. In the first

stipuiate that the railroad II 1t uses cleo
vision for preventing the escape of cleo,

The Exclu.ivenes. of big Sleeves.

From the Indianapolis Journal.
1t is an actual fact that the immense
sleeves worn by the ladies have had the
effect of limiting the number entertained
at social dinners and luncheons. One lady
recently decided to give e. luncheon anu en-
tertain twelve Of her friends. Size has
large round table and was going to have
beautiful decorations. When the butler
came to arrange for the guests he declared
that only ten could be seated at the table.
The hostess insisted that there was no one
she could leave out, and she had enter
tanned twelve at the same table last year.
..Well" said the butler, ARE they going
to wear big sleeves?
The hostess was forced to admit that they

So two ladies had to be left out to make

Cant. Garlfnston's Promotion.

It is said at the War Department that
the selection OF Capt. Ernest A. CARING
ton for the vacancy in the list of majors
In the inspector generals department was
made because of his good record. coupled
with the fact that he had never made an
application for promotion. Major CARING
ton is a native OF South Carolina, but
entered the Military Academy from
his graduation, four years later, he has
seen considerable active service against the
Indians, and in 1888 he commanded the
first expedition sent to the relief of the
Greely party in the arctic. His manage
ment of that unsuccessful expedition has
been severely criticised Since 1884 he has
been on scouting service on the frontier.
He received a medal OF honor for dis
tinguished gallantry at the engagement
with the Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee
Creek in December, 1880, where he was
badly wounded.
