GLOBE SAVINGS BANK.
Condition Believed to Be in Worse
Shape Than at First Imagined.

Chicago. April S.-Developments to-
day have strengthened the belief that
the affairs of the Globe Savings bank,
which closed its doors last Monday,
are in a much worse shape than the
directors are willing to admit In ad-
dition to $4,000 cash belonging to the
University of Illinois tied up in en-
dowment. bonds of the value of $780,
600. also the property of the university,
are missing The bonds were en-
trusted to President Spaulding of the
Globe Savings bank. President Spauld-
ing cannot be found and no one out
side of the trustees appears to know
where he is. Trustee Armstrong SAID
Spaulding claimed to be very SICK,
and sent in a doctors certificate to
that effect He promised to meet the
directors on next Tuesday.
This afternoon a list of counties and
school districts in Illinois was submit
ted to Banker John Farson for Dur-
chase. The list was in possession OF
firm whose name is withheld. Ac-
cording to the law the university is al
lowed to purchase county and school
district bonds and Mr.. FarSon knowing
of the disappearance of the university S
securities expected them to be those
listed. He Immediately submitted them
to the university trustee. James Arm
strong, who gave it as his opinion that
the bonds were undoubtedly those
missing from the securities of the uni
yersity 1t was explained to Mr.. Far
son that the bonds were given as Sc
curity on various notes, that the latter
had not been paid and that the bonds
were therefore offered for sale. AS
Mr. Armstrong is the absolute custo-
dian of the university's securities it is
not known how the bonds could ever
have passed from his hands without his
knowledge and consent.

son criticized the Torrey bill in detail.
saying it was vicious and complicated,
providing Is distinct causes for bank
ruptcy. The bill also created "a Grim
jral offenses with severe penalties.
There was, he said, no limit to the
fees that attorneys might charge under
the bill. This was one of the crying
evils of the law of 1878, under which
so many attorneys made fortunes.
Mr. Nelson then discussed the main
features of his substitute bill. The
purpose of the substitute was to make
the proceedings simple and inexpensive,
limiting bankruptcy to few causes
and leaving creditors in all other cases
TO the state laws.
There was no demand outside for a
few jobbers and wholesalers in favor of
the excessive Torrey bill.
In the northwest the hard times had
nearly ShipWrecked many worthy BUSH
ness men. They We're loaded with debt
and it was to the interest of that whole
section and the country TO give them
a law to put them on their feet not TO
strangle them by a harsh engine of col
lecions. Next to the tariff bill Mr.. Mel
son said he regarded a conservative
bankruptcy bill designed to help debt
ors as the subject of chief Importance
before congress. He hoped congress
would not adjourn before passing some
bankruptcy bill. Heseven said he would
be willing to take the harsh Torrey
bill rather than see all legislation fail.
HOAR IN DEFENSE.
Mr.. Hoar defended the Torrey bill
against Mr. Nelson's charges of harsh
ness. He said that 100000 debtors were
awaiting the relieftof this humane bill.
The Nelson substitute Mr.. Hoar re-
garded as impractfcable. Mr.. Lindsay
of kentucky gave notice of a speech
at the next session in answer to criti-
oisms of the committee bill
Mr. Thurston, (Rep. Neb.), gave no
tice that on next Tuesday he would
address the senate on the subject of
the Pacific railroad debt settlements.
At 4:45 the senate adjourned until
Monday.

THE "BANK CASE"
Very Important Decisions Made by
Judge Bunne at st. Paul.

ST. Paul, April S.-After litigation
unprecedented in this state Judge
Bunne of the district court has filed
decisions in the Bank case" Follow
ing the suspension of the Bank of Min
nesota the GeT1nania and Allemania
banks many depositors applied for an
order that their money and checks be
returned TO them.
In the case of the Bank of Minnesota
Judge Bunne examined the question
of the insolvency of the bank previous
to Dec. %. when it failed. He finds
that the bank had Dersistently vio-
lated the state banking law, that the
officers had been receiving deposits
with the full knowledge of the bank
insolvency, and that the guilty knowl-
edge gives to its depositors the right
to get their money if they can trace it
to receivers. With respect to each of
the classes of funds the court makes
distinct order in the case of each
bank
The court holds that the title to the
checks on other banks remains with the
depositors, but the cash deposits can
not be traced, and therefore cannot be
recovered

TAKING up COMMITTEES.
Democratic and Republican Senators
Have Begun Serious Efforts.

Washington, April S.-The Repub
lican and Democratic senators have at
last apparently begun serious efforts to
reach an understanding upon a basis
of reorganization of the senate COM
mittees. The managing committee of
both sides of the chamber were in Ses-
sion during the greater part of the af-
ternoon today and subcommittee rep
resenting both parties met in confer
ence for the exchange of propositions.
Senators McMillin. Gallinger and Car
ter representing the Republicans. and
Senators German, Cockrell and Faux
ner the Democrats.
The Democratic cOnfereeS outlined
the position of the Democratic side OF
the chamber to be that the Democrats
should be allowed to fill the committee
places held bv Democrats in the last
congress. The recommendations pro-
posed that the reorganization should
take place on the basis of percentage,
an arrangement which they admitted
would result in reducing the Demo-
cratic representation in the committees
to an average extent of one member.
This did not prove an acceptable ba-
sis of settlement to the Democrats,
whereupon the Republicans suggested
a compromise agreement. They called
attention that the Republican plurality
over the Democrats was nine now,
whereas it was only two at the begin
ming Of the last session. This they
pointed OFT would require about 80
more committee assignments than in
1895. They suggested that the Demo-
Gratis should make concessions that
would give the Republicans sufficient
increase of places to permit them to
take proper care of their increased
number OF senator's
This proposition was only tentatively
made and conditionally considered. The
Democratic senators indicated dispo-
sition to recommend its favorable con-
sideration to their caucus committee,
providing an understanding could be
reached upon the allotmentS on the
committee on finance and appropria-
tons These vacancies have been the
real bone of contention from the be-
ginning There are two vacant places
in the finance committee, one caused
by the retirement of a Democratic SEN
ator, and the other by the retirement
of a Republican, and three on the ap-
preparations committee, all caused by
the failure of Democrats to secure re-
election. The Democrats stated en-
phaticalIy that the party they repre-
sented would allow no diminution OF the
Democratic strength on that committee
on account of the silver issue, but said
It was possible they might concede one
additional Republican on appropria-
lions. They agreed to present the mat
ter to the full committee. The propo-
sition was afterwards brought to the
attention of the full Democratic eau
Gus committee, but no definite action
was taken There was, however, an
apparent disposition to make conceS-
sions except upon the finance commit
tee. which there was a decided deter
mination to hold to it's present COM
