TERIFICAIION OF DEPOSIT
BOOKS.

Section 1895 Vermont Statutes
reads: "In the year 1898 and every
fifth year thereafter, at such time in
the year as the Inspector of Finance
shall designate, the trustees of saw
ings banks, savings institutions nd
trust companies, shall call in the de-
posit books for examination and
verifcation and cause the same to be
examined and verified by some per-
son other than the treasurer or his
clerks, employed for that purpose
and approved by the Inspector of
Finance"
In accordance with law, Hon. Hosea
Mann, state inspector of finance, has
named the month of May next as the
time when the savings banks and
trust companies of the state shall be
called in for examination and verifi-
cation. For this work in each in
stance good accountant will be Sc
lected. The fact that New Hampshire
savings banks verify their deposit &C
counts in May will make the work in
each state of mutual advantage. The
percentage of books verified!are to be
reported for use in the next report of
the inspector of finance, and record
kept of the number and kind of err
rors detected.
The Importance of thoroughness
and hearty cooperation on tho part
of the officers of the banks and de-
positors in this work is apparent, and
the diligence of the banks that show
large percentages of notifications will
be appreciated by an interested pub
lie.
The last and only verification of de-
posit books ever required by law in
this state was made in 1893, when
over 50,O 900 out of total of 80, 104 out
standing deposit books were called in,
examined and verified. The total
number of errors discovered as re-
ported were LA, being mostly of
small amounts caused in transpo
sition of figures, entering dividends,
etc.

VARS EFFECT ON TRADE.

If Spain and the Uuited States do
get to fighting, the steamships run
ming between Georgia and other
Southern ports and the north will
have an interesting experience, says
the atlanta Constitution.
Some of the coastWise steamers are
as fast as most of the Spanish war
ships, and could take care of them
selves with half a showing, but the
slower ones would not dare to get
very far from shore. There are a
number of good harbors along the
coast, but some of them are many
miles apart, and it might be possible
for a swift cruiser to get within close
range in two hours run. The Kansas
City could show her heels to any of
them, but there are very few vessels
on the coast which could keep within
sight of the Kansas City more than
three hours. Fourteen to fifteen
knots an hour is good gait for most
of the coasters, while the cruisers and
privateers can make from sixteen to
twenty knots an hour.
The first effect on the coasting ships
would be falling off in their passen-.
ger list. If the marine insurance was
not too high, the ships would get
plenty of freight. They would not
let the freight escape them SO long
as rates controlled it, because if the
railroads once got to carrying the
freight the ships might not have an
easy time recovering their patronage
after the war. English underwriters
have offered to take war risks at one
half of one per cent. on a time con-
tract.
The gulf steamship lines might
have to suspend operations for time
because their routes expose them to
Spanish vessels in passing around Key
West. The large amount of Ameri-
can shipping which goes up and down
the Atlantic coast and through the
Gulf of Mexico would naturally con-
centrate the Spanish privateers and
gunboats off the southern coast. Of
course the American warships would
be on the watch, and some terrible
engagements would occur in Southern
waters. Many of the coastwise ships
would be fitted up themselves with
guns and they would be able to de-
fend themselves against the average
privateer, but they could not do any
thing but run when a cruiser put in
an appearance.
The American ships could put them
selves under foreign flag, if the
managers chose to take that step, by
selling the vessels to a foreign firm
and taking a mortgage for the full
value of each vessel, and have the
managing clause inserted in each
mortgage.
American ship owners seem to be
of the opinion that the war would be
so short that it would not be worth
while to change the flag. If the
worst came to the worst, the ships
could be laid up until the war was
over, and no one believes that they
would have to be tied up very long.

PEACE NOT POPULAR IN CAMP.
Men at Chickamauga Want Some War
First-The Fifth illinois,

Chickamauga Park, Ga, July so.-The
regiments at Camp Thomas are anx-
iously awaiting to know which of them
are next to be favored with orders to
proceed to the front. There is still hone
that the First corps will go out in its
entirety, but this is mixed with serious
doubts in the minds of the volunteers,
who seem to think that peace will come
too soon to be to their liking. There is
not a command hsre that is not anx-
ious to see actual service, and only one
who has visited the regiments daily can
fully appreciate the disappointment that
would prevail should hostilities cease
leaving the soldiers here to be sent home
without having gene to meet the enemy.
Yesterday the men of the Fifth ILL
nois, .whe We're so badly demoralized by
TIE order returning them to Camp
Thomas after they had made a start for
the front. were in better frame of
mind, and those who absented them
selves from roll call began returning. Ii
is believed that every man will be In his
place today.

Tells the Porto Rico Inhabitants What We
Are There For

arc lHeTe EoTs
Another dispatch from Ponce saws
that Genral Miles has issued the follow
ing proclamation:
I'm the prosecution Of the war against
the kingdom of Spain by the people Of
the United States. in the cause of lib
erty, justice and humanity, its military
forces have come to occupy the island
of Porto Rico. They come bearing the
banner of freedom, inspired by a noble
purpose, to seek the enemies Of our gov
eminent and of yours, and to destroy
or capture all in armed resistance. They
bring you the fostering arms of free
people, whose greatest power is justice
and humanity to all living within their
fold. Hence they release you from your
former political relations. and it is
hoped that this will be followed by your
cheerful acceptance of the government
of the United States.
The chief object of the American
military forces will be to overthrow the
armed authority Of Spain and give the
people of your beautiful island the larg-
est measure of liberty consistent with
this military occupation. They have not
come TO make war on the people of the
country, who for centuries have been
oppressed; but on the contrary they
bring protection not only to yourselves
but 10 your property, promote your
prosperity and bestow the immunities
and blessings of our enlightened and
liberal institutions and government
1T is not their purpose 10 interfere
with the existing laws and customs
which are wholesome and beneficial tc
the people. 40 long as they conform 10
