AN IMPORTAST CASE.
Supreme Court to Decide on the Pow
ers of the Comptroller.

-
A case Of very great Importance i'll the
administration of the national banking
laws is now pending before the Supreme
Court of the United States on appeal from
the District court of Connecticut, invulv-
ing the question of the right Of the Comp
trOller of the Currency 10 levy ard collect
an assessment upon the shares OF stock IN
am insolvent national bank. The case Is
that Of the receiver of the State National
Bank Of Wichita. kans., VS.. John Il. Bush
nell, resident Of ConneC tivut. against
whom suit was brought by the receiver To
enforce the payment of ms liability as IA
shareholder IN the banl: named
Tie amount involved in this particular
case is no considerable sum. but the effect
II the decision is OF far-Fcaching impor-
tance in the administration of The bank
Ing laws, un account not only Of the large
number of inSoiyent banks involved, but of
active banks also. because if tie cOnteTi-
ton of the shareholders counsel in the
case, That the Comptroller OF the Currency
is invested only with determining power
is sustained by tie court. that officer would
be unable to levy an assessment upon the
shares of stock in a solvent active bank
Ia make good any Impairment of its cap
ital stock of which fact the law makes him
the sole judge.
s-The authority OF the Comptroller of the
Currency to make an assessment upon the
shares of stock of solvent Or insoivent
natIonal bank has never before been cues
toned during all the years Of the existence
OF the national banking system.
The question now raised is therefore u
novel one, because OF its Importance in the
administration OF the banking laws and to
national banks generally. On motion of
the receivers counsel the case has been
advanced on the calendar to the first
Wednesday in December. and the decision
is looked for with great interest by the
Treasury officials.

Half Dozen Names Are Already on
the Slate, Including Several

There is good deal of gossip over the
probable successor to the late Judge Rich
ardson, Chief justice OF the court OF claims.
That Mr.. Cleveland will nominate to this
high office a man who is i'll full accord
with him politically admits Of no possible
doubt. And that he Will choose man
who is not follower of the Bryan 16-to-1
theory is also Il practical certainty.
Already at least dozen men have been
mentioned in connection with the office
Ihree members Of the Presidents Cabinet
Secretaries Carlisle and Herbert, and
Postmaster General Wilson. are put down
as fayoriies, along with eX-ConGresSinen

There would he big row, and / doubt

Delegates Here to Form a National

of the Organization.

Twenty-Five delegates representing gov
ernment employees in the classified service
met at Villa rd Hotel last night ninform al
conference to discuss the ways and means
of uniting in national org anization, all
persons holding employment under like
conditions. Local beneficial associations
of government employees have been in exist
ence in several OF the larger cities OF the
United States for several years, and have
received the countenance and moral sup
port of the Civil Service Commission, but
this is the first attempt to form national
society.
The Civil Service Association OF New
Orleans has been agitating the subject OF
a national association for some time past,
and the present convention is the outcome
OF Il circular senU out several months ago
by j. E. Clayton, or the customs service
in New Orleans. In acquiescence TO the
plan proposed in the circular the employees
1T San Francisco, New Orleans, Tampa,
Fla: Portland, Ore; Port Townsend, Chi
cago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Ell Paso, Baiti-
more, and Philadelphia sent delegates
To the convention now in session here
The meeting last night was solely for the
purpose OF exchanging views among the
delegates, and for Tie appointment OF com
mittees. Mr.. j Z. Clay yton, Of New OrlrLus.
was made temporary chairman Of the con
vention, and MIR. ID. j. O'Lcury, OF San
Francisco, secretary. The name OF the new
organization will be The National Civil

constitution, lis drafted by the committee
and which will no doubt be adopted, states
unite fraternally all employees in the classi-
fled civil service of the government for their
mutual benefit"
Tomorrow committee of five will call

association and to solicit formal reception
