POR II SUlRAGIO

SO ha colocado LA DEMoCRAoIA
con n otive de la Ultima asam-
blea, no tiene ning1n asomo de
personalismo, como quieren dar
& entender algunos censores.
Impulsala un m6vil elevado :
ell ejercicio correcto y legal de
las libertades p1blicas.
Gufala una provision razona-
BILE: la de evitar que surjan ma
les mayores.
Nosotros, como representation
genuina, en- este pals, de las ideas
demoe raticas, liberales y autono-
mistae, somos los llamados en-

c:onal ocurra 10 que sucedio ell

TRADESMEN'S NATIONAL
PROMISES TO PAY DEPOSITORS
DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR
Just at Present the New York Bank Is
in Trouble and Cannot Fay
Anything

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The Tradesmen's
not clear through the clearing house. of
which 1t is member, today. This fact led
to an investigation. and it developed that
the bank is in serious trouble.
The clearing house committee visited the
bank yesterday. and, after a careful exam
inatlon, found its capital impaired and ad-
vised an early liquidation.
The bank was organized in the early part
OF this century, and, while never leader
among the banks of this city. was always
regarded as very sound and conservative
in its dealings.
In the banking district the opinion is ex-
pressed that the troubles Of the wool ex-
change are indirectly responsible for the
Tradesmen's National banks troubles
Vice President Homer Bates promised the
clamoring depositors today that the bank
would pay its patrons 100 cents on the dol
lar. He said further that the bank would
resume as soon as all It's claims were liqui-
dated.
The controversy which for some time ex-
listed between the New York and Boston
wool merchants, who 1t was said, drew on
the bank recently to the extent of $500, 600,
was said to be the cause of suspension of
business by the bank this morning.
w. II. Kimball, bank examiner at New
York, has been placed In charge Of the
Tradesmen's National bank. The latest
statement of its condition sent to the
treasury department. in response to the
call of the comptroller of the currency of
September Goth shows as follows: Individ-
ual deposits, $2O54.11; due banks and bank
ers. $s5S, ,SS1; surplus and undivided profits,
$l2s,oSS; loans and discounts. 50. 0sl, ,s42; cash

due to the fact that the reports published
were very different from what he intended
to say to the reporters. He could not re-
member what the reports were
In answer to questions by the Judge
Advocate, Chaplain Mcintyre testified that
he could not remember what he said in his
lecture In Denver on August Sth. He said
that what made him believe that he had
said IN the lecture what he had not in
tended to say, was the GOODNESS of some Of
his friends, which was explained on the
ground that the lecture had offended them
He learned this some days after he had
written to the Secretary of the Navy that
the words attributed to him by the news
papers were not uttered by him, but he
believed then that the arrangements for
court-martial We're too far advanced to
render any further explanation effective.
The Chaplain said he had no intention to
sneer at the name of Captain Evans. He
had never heard any reference to CAPTAIN
Evans except in the highest terms.
The Judge-Advocate read alleged in
terviews with the accused in Denver
papers, some of which the Chaplain de-
clared misrepresented him. In one he was
quoted as saying that Eastern ship-build-
ers had cheated the government. He was
still considering these interviews when
the court adjourned until tomorrow morn

The concern is capitalized at 100000, rep

Of bonds. 1t has furnaces and employs
about $50 men when In full operation.
1t was learned yesterday at the Office
OF Mr.. Brookfield that he was approached
several months ago by 1. v. Morrison. the
agent of the British syndicate which is en-
deavoring to bring about the proposed con-
solidation of interests. Mr.. Brookfield de-
clined to give an option on his property
but named a price at which he would sell
the plant Little more was heard Of the
matter for some time, but recently Bush
wick appeared and negotiations were COM
menced with Mr.. Brookfield
Mr.. Brookfield has steadfastly declined
to sign any option agreement but is still
willing to dispose Of his plant at what he
considers a fair value. Mr.. Morrison, the
agent of the syndicate, has spent most of
his time in Philadelphia, where the main
offices of the principal green bottle glass
manufacturers are located.
Most of the factories are in Southern New
Jersey. The agent has spent years time
and considerable money, it is said, in push
ing the project, and the energy and per-
sistence which he has displayed lead those
who are familiar with the negotiations to
the belief that they will not be dropped
now. 1t is said that the manufacturers are
favorably inclined toward the proposition
and there has been much cutting of prices
and consequent loss of profits.
The first efforts of the syndicate were
devoted to obtaining options upon the va
rious plants. These were secured in most
cases, but they expired before the intend
ed purchasers were ready to act. A new

an outline Of the form of government de-
cided upon for Hawaii by the Congress

The commission will make no recommen-
dation as to the appointment of the Gov
ernor. Hawaii will have a Legislature
and will make its own laws subject to the
approval OF Congress. There wiln be no
change in the present form of the Legis-
lature. The property qualification of $500
in real or $1,000 in personal estate to make
an elector eligible to vote for the represent
ative in Congress is done away with.
To vote for a Senator in the Territory of
Hawaii an elector must possess an annual
income Of 5000. In everything else his fran
ch:se is free and unrestricted by any quail
.fication, educational or otherwise The
judiciary system will remain und!sturbed

jurisdiction IN United States cases and the
judges will be appointed for four years sa-

ton of citizenship will be referred to the
