Steamer Goes Downwith Two Hun

Disaster Occurs or tho Southwest Coast
OF Coruna - Boat Driven ON the
Cerrubedo Rocks-A Suc-
ces6ion Of MiEhaps.

Vigo, Spain, Dec. 1.-THE North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Salier is q total loss
of Coruna. All hands are drowned.
She carried 210 passengers and crew
of IS men. The Salier's passengers
consisted of 113 Russians, 35 Galicians,
81 Spaniards and one German, mostly
in the steerage. The Salier was bound
from Bremen to Buenos Ayres, via
Coruna and Villagariea. The CORFU
bedo rocks, on which the ship was lost,
are situated off the southwest coast of
Coruna and should have been given a
wide berth before the steamer headed
eastward, and then in northeasterlv
direction for the bay leading up to Vii
lagariea How she maSaged to be in
that perilous position is inexplicab BILE to
navigators.
The loss of the Salier is another of
the series of disasters that have at
tended the fortunes of the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship company. 1t
calls to mind the frightful loss of life
that occurred early in the morning OF
January 30, 1895, when the steamer
Elbe, belonging to that company, was
run into in the North sea and sank by
the British steamship Craythie. OF the
372 passengers on board the Elbe all
were lost except %. most of whom were
members of the crew.

Scott jackson to Hang.

Frankfort, Ky, Dec. 9.-The court OF
appeals has refused new trial to Scott
Jackson, convicted of the murder OF
Pearl bryan. The opinion of the court
covers also the appeal of the attorneys
for Alonzo Walling. The grounds for
the appeal were that the judge erred
in instructing, the sheriff erred in not
allowing admission except by ticket,
and that the evidence was insufficient,
The opinion was prepared by Judge
Hazelrigg. 1t now devo!ves on Gov.
Bradley to fix the day and hour for
the execution. There is said to be no
ground for carrying the case to the
United States court. and the governors
warrant for the execution of Scott
jackson must issue. The law requires
judge, in sentencing criminal, to
allow not more than 30 nor less than
20 days after sentence. The cnly re.
striction upon the governor is that he
shall not appoint day earlier than
was appointed by the court. The day
has already passed.

REFORMS IN BANKING.
They Are Recommended In Comptrolle1

They Arc Recommended In Comptrol1e1
Eckols' Report.
Warrington, Dec. 9.-Comptroller OF the
Currency Eckels has considerable to say in
his annual report about financial strin-
gency and congestion, and he makes
remedial suggestions Of interest. Various
amendments to the national bank act look-
Ing to giving relief are proposed by the
comptroller. among them the following:
That In places having population of less
be permitted. under regulations to be made
by the comptroller OF the currency and ap-
proved by the secretary Of the treasury,
to be organized with capital stock of not
less than $25.000. and with corresponding
reduction In the amount Of bonds required
to be deposited with the treasurer of the
United States
That national banks shall be permitted.
under such regulations and restrictions "a
shall be made by the comptroller Of the
the treasury. to establish branch banks in
towns and villages where no national banks
are established and where the population
does not exceed 1000 inhabitants; such
branch banks to have the right to receive
deposits. make loans and discounts and
buy and sell exchange but in no case to
be permitted to issue circulating notes
other than of the parent bank.
3 In support of his recommendation for the
establishment Of branch banks the comp
tFOlIeTSayS: ne construction placed upon
the national bank act as now In force by
the supreme court precludes the establish
ing and maintaining Of branch banks under
it," and he continues: 1.-THE permitting
of branch banks would be the forming Of
agencies through which better trade dis
tribution of currency could and would be
made;" and further on In his report he
remarks that 1.-The time must come when
the banks shall be such agencies of distri-
button Of loanable capital as will make
credit everywhere equally available to the
extent to which those seeking it are just
ly entitled. So. too. must point be finally
reached when banks shall Issue all of the
credit currency Of the country and stand
ment. for its redemption in gold coin when
ever and In whatever quantities pre-
sented."
Further on in his report the comptroller
remarks: "A policy in finance wrong in
principle never becomes right in practice
The truth Of the statement is fully illus
trated by the course OF the legal tender
treasury issues OF the United States. They
have always been disturbing element In
business. and their current redemption a
continuing weakness and anxiety to The
treasury" He recommends that Iegisla-
ton by congress. based upon safe and pru-
dent lines, having in view the gradual
payment and cancellation of the credit
currency now maintained by the govern
ment and the issuance hereafter Of all OF
such currency through the banks. with full
responsibility therefor placed upon them.

ticable moment. The results which would
follow such enactments would be benef-
