evening. and the election of several new
members the club became engaged IN a
somewhat heated discussion relative 10
the John w. Daniel Democratic club. an
oreaniZation of Jefferson Ward, Of which
Mr.. s Stern is president. The Old Do
rninion club wanted to know whether the
other club, being I'm Jefferson Ward, and
probably dependent to some extent upon
It's contributing members, was a political
organization. President Stern, who is also
vice-president of the Old Dominion, said
that the John W.. Daniel was a social
and pleasure club, and that no other
organization had anything to do with its
existence.
Messrs. Mullen and Manning spoke In
favor of a full investigation as 10 the
scope of the John w. Daniel Club, and
the latter moved the appointment OF
special committee of three to make this
inquiry, and report as soon as possible.
This motion was adopted. and the Chair
appointed Messrs. j. H. Redwood. Henry
G. Adams. and w. II. Mullen as members
of this committee.

tant ministerial councils were held on
sunday and Monday, at which an indem-
nitv of 100000 was agreed upon as the

Correction Of an Ersos.
To the Public:

IHiCdbo, cufy III io'''
To the Public:
On June 10Th. ultimo news dispatch,
originating in New Orleans, was trans
mitted over the wires or the Associated
Press. giving details Of the conviction OF
Louis Gallet, for robbing the Union Ma
tional Bank, of that city, OF 100000, by
Juggling the concerns balances. The
item stated further that the discovery
of the frauds led TO the closing of the
bank, and that Gallets accomplice com
mitted suicide rather than face the ac-
cusatlon OF the theft. In transmission
by wire, the date-line was changed by
an operators error, so that the item
appeared in the columns OF eastern
newspapers under a Louisville (kyJ
date, and. as a consequence, reflections
we're cast upon the Union National
Bank OF Louisville. as 10 its financial
standing. etc 1t goes without saying
that the Ass ociated Press never for a
moment contemplated reflection upon
the good name OF the Union National
Bank OF Louisville. an institution that
is generally known TO be sound TO the
core.
Therefore, the Associated Press con-
siders II its plain duty TO afford the
bank clear justice In some degree for
the false light in which II has been
placed. and TO this end makes haste TO
announce that the Union National BANK
Of Louisville Is In no wire connected
with the New Orleans affair, and that
II rests to-day, as II always has rested.
upon a sound financial basis. q.

ARMS FOR CUBA.
Dauutless and Commodor.
Apply for Clearance Papers,

Apply ior clearance Papers.
Washington, Jan. For the first
time since the present struggle in Cubs
began this government has given per.
mission to customs officials to clear for
Cuba a vessel loaded, according t,
manifest, with munitions of war. pre
sumably for the insurgent army.
Yesterday the secretary of the treas.
ury received a telegram from the own.
ers of the Dauntless at Jacksonville
stating that they would apply to IN
collector OF customs at Jacksonville
Tor a clearance to a Cuban port with -
cargo of arms, but the oaths required
by the statutes would not be taken
The question was asked whether undel
these circumstances papers would b.
issued. Later a telegram was receiver
from the collector at Jacksonville stat.
ing an application to clear the Daunt
less for Neuvius, Cuba, with a cargo
of arms, had been made, and asking
instructions.
This morning the secretary replied
substantially as follows:
IF the master of the vessel and the
owners, shippers and consigners of thu
cargo comply fully with the laws and
regulations concerning the manifest
n take the osths required Won may
grant a clearance to Neuvitas, Cuba.
Oaths must be taken and subscribed in
writing, as required by section 4l97.
4l9S and 1900 Of the revised statutes. "
The port named as the destination
is on the northern coast of Cuba and
is occupied by Spanish forces. Treas.
ury officials therefore are of the opinion
that the oaths required will not be
taken.
Late this afternoon the collector Of
customs at Jacksonville wired the Sec
rotary of the treasury that the steamer
Commodore had applied for clearance
papers upon practically the same state
ment of facts as in the case Of the
Dauntless. In response the secretary
wired permission to issue papers TO the
Commodore in substantially the same
terms as were named in the former
case. Up to the hour Of closing the
department no information had been
received as to the movements Of either
vessel, or whether the conditions in.
posed had been accepted.
