banks condition had reached the clear
ing house committee and they decided
to have his report read to them. 1 or
dered that it be done. The condition re-
vealed led to a resolution to suspend it
from the clearing house. Before action
was taken the examiner telegraphed me
and in reply suggested that in view of
the large interests involved great care
should be had, and even at the risk of
taking some chances, funds might be
provided IL it was deemed safe to do so,
to afford voluntary liquidation. The as
sets of the bank were examined and its
management, as shown by the examiner,
considered, and rs conclusion it was
decided that the bank should be sus-
pended from the clearing house and
funds not furnished for voluntary liqui-
dation. Three of the banks directors
were present at these meetings. am
convinced that the clearing house COM
mittee acted judiciously. The manage
ment on the part of the officers has been,
to state 1t mildly, grossly negligent. The
liabilities of the. bank are large, but by
careful and judicious management the
loss entailed upon creditors need not be
large, If any Every measure will be
taken by the clearing house and the comp
troller's office to prevent other bank
failures and unnecessary monetary strin-
gency"

FROM THE NATIONS CAPITAL
THE URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL
PASSED BY THE HOUSE
YESTERDAY.
PACIFIC RAILWAY BILL Date SET
1t Will Come Up Under Special Order
January 7-Choctaw Indians Signed
the Allotment Treaty-President
Cleveland Returning.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Charles Il
! Crisp of Georgia, son of and successor OF
, the late Speaker Crisp, was sworn in as
a member of the house when the session
opened today. A letter from Governor
Atkinson of Georgia stated that Mr.
Crisp had been chosen at the special cleo
ton held on the 10th ult.
MIR. Dingley called attention to the fact
that the letter was not in the usual form
of credentials, but he readily yielded to
the reques Of Mr.. Turner (dem) of
Georgia, that unanimous consent be
given for administering the oath to Mr.
Crisp, who was greeted with hearty ap-
plause as he took his seat at the desl,
formerly occupied by his father.
Mr.. Cannon (rep) of Illinois, reported
from the committee ON appropriations an
! urgent deficiency bill carrying 1881, 1862,
and it was given immediate attention.
The main item was 100000 for the com
pletion of naval vessels on the stocks and
for other naval purposes.
Mr.. Cannon explained briefly the de-
STABILITY of urging the work on the ships
to completion. The bill was then passed
without division.
Mr.. McMillin (dem.), Tennessee called
up the senate bill for government partci-
patton in the Tennessee centennial to be
held next year at Nashville, Tenn. The
measure carries 100000 for a govern
mef exhibit and $4,000 for federal
building.
Mr.. Bailey (dem) of Texas interposed
an emphatic protest against bills of this
character and recited how they were
rushed through congress. All the cities
and towns in the country would take q
turn in holding expositions.
Mr.. Dingley pointed out that the only
justification for government aid was that
the. exposition was national and interna-
tional and he deprecated policy of fed
eral aid to purely state expositions.
The Tennessee members rallied to the
support of the measure, pointing out the
prospects of the enterprise Mr.. McA1il-
Ian held up views of the building. On the
passage of the bill the house divided, 127
to 25. and Mr.. Bailey made the point of
no quorum.
The speaker counted quorum and the
bill was passed by the foregoing vote.
When Mr. Henderson (rep5 of Iowa
presented the resolution to give four
days, beginning Thursday. January 7, to
the consideration of the Pacific railway
funding bill he urged the necessity for
congressional action on the Pacific rail
way question to protect the governments
interests. In reply to question from
Mr.. Dockery (dem.) of Missouri, he said
the rule would give the house opportu-
nifty to vote on substitutes or amend
ments to the bill.
MIR. Mcclure (dem.) of Alabama spoke
against the bill, declaring that the gov
ernment had ample remedy against the
Pacific roads by foreclosure.
Saturday, January 16, was fixed for
eulogies on the late ex-Speaker Crisp
At $40 O'Clock the house adjourned.

pendencc of Cuba, for to abate ANYTHING
OF this assertion of power on his part
would be construed as reputation of
the action by the secretary and probably
would cause disruption in the cabinet.
SO far as can be gathered from cur
sorry scanning of the records, there is
no case that affords an exact precedent
TO this, for nowhere have the executive
ana congress directly differed and made
an issue of recognizing another nation.
lt has been tacity admitted heretofore
that, us the secretary contends, this is
q purely executive function, but Senator
cameron, the author of the resolution
which has given rise to this issue, it is
understood, has made most careful and
exhaustive study of the constitutional
aspect of the matter and is firmly con-
vinced that congress has power to pro-
ceed along the lines of his resolution to
recognize the new republic.
Of course, Secretary Olneys statement
indicates clearly that if the joint resolu-
tion passes both branches of congress
and is sent to the president the latter
Will veto it, not only on the ground of i'm
policy, but also because it constitutes an
infringement of his own prerogative.
Moreover, the secretary, in his inter-
view, goes beyond this point aud in al
most as many words says that no atten-
tion will be paid to the will of congress
in this matter, even if the resolution is
passed over the presidents veto. In
this case a grave conflict of powers Of
two branches of the government might
be expected to follow, though just how
the issue may be made up so that it can
pc reached by the supreme court, the ar
bitter OF all questions of constitutionalty,
IS not clear at present. 1t is suggested.
however, that if the issue goes to that
length, congress may achieve its purpose
indirectly by the exercise of power Ger.
tainly confided to it exclusively by tho
constitution, namely, by declaration of
war, which is, after all, in the judgment
of many authorities, what the recognition
of the independence Of Cuba under ex
listing conditions would mean.

SENTIMENT IN THE HOUSE.
Should the Cameron Resolution Reach a
Vote, 1t Would Pass.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The statement
by Secretary Olney of the adminstra-
tion's views of the Cameron resolutions
was read with unusual interest by mem
bers of the house. Many declined to ex-
press their opinions Of the interview, as
| they declined to comment on the action
| of the senate committee on the ground
that 1t might be considered discourteOus
OF one branch of the government to crit
icise the course of another. 1t was ap-
parent, however, that Secretary Olney
had made an impression on the house
and several republicans endorsed his
views. The interview re-opened discus
sion of the question whether recognition
of independence or belligerency of another
government was an executive or legisla
tive act, question which had been
warmly debated before the foreign af-
fairs committee when the resolutions to
recognize the insurgents as belligerents
were considered last session. The senti-
ment among the members of the foreign
affairs committee is not as strongly inl
favor of radical action on the Cuban
question MS it was during the last ses
sion. 1t is evident from conversation of
the members that majority opposes rec
ignition of Cuban independence. at any
rare until the next administration comes
inte power, unless there should be
changes in the situation in the island
which would demand action, or much
new evidence regarding the conditions
there to be secured.
Nest members predict that If the Cam
er0n resolution, or any prepared to help
the Cuban revolution, were put to a vote
before the house it would be adopted by
a large majority, but many who advance
this prediction express the hope that they
may not be called upon to record their
votes. They do not wish to be placed in
the attitude of opposing any struggle for
the establishment of republic, yet they
do think that the reports from Cuba
up to date are too conflicting to justify
recognition.
A gentleman who stands very close to
Speaker Reed and is acquainted with
the speakers views on the question. said:
1T is highly improbable that the Gamer
On resolution willpa the senate, because
there is strong opposition by several SEN
aters and it can be talked to death. If
it were brought before The house it would
be passed by a strong majority, because
many would vote against their own judg-
ment in Difference to what they believe to
be the public sentiment. 1t is possible
that the question might be raised in the
house as q privilege matter by some
hook or crook, though l can not see how
that can be DONE"
