NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY LAW.
Since the Law Took Effect Over 100 Petit.
lions Have Been Filed.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The Forthcoming
annual report of the attorney general en-
braces a review of the operation of the
national bankruptcy law of July /, 1895
which has been prepared by E. C. Bren,
denburg, in charge of bankruptcy matters
IN the department of justice. Mr.. Bren-
denburg, VINO is preparing a book on
bankruptcy briefly reviews similar past
legislation and details the operation of
the, feature of the law permitting persons
70 become voluntary bankrupts, which
took effect, Aug. /, 1898.
From this report it appears that the
applicants for relief have been found in
every walk of life, irrespective Of class
or locality, and shows that the large
in their business enterprises have availed
themselves of the relief offered.
Notwithstanding the law has been in
force over three months, the courts IN
eight districts declined to proceed with
the reference and adjudication of the
petitions, for the reason that the SUI
preme court has not promulgated the
rules, forms and orders required by the
act. In all other cases the courts have
proceeded and adjudicated petitioners
bankrupt or have referred the cases TO
the referees for action.
Since the law took effect, 1900 petitions
in voluntary bankruptcy have been fled
Singularly. the districts of Delaware,
Eastern pennsylvania, Southern Georgia,
and Wyoming show that no persons there
have yet applied to be adjudged bankrupt.
The following shows the number of cases
filed in each state:
Alabama, ISL; Arizona, / Arkansas, %;
