Unconstitutional.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16, 1S9s.-The de-
bate upon the bill to incorporate the In
ternational American Bank was resumed
in the House today. Mr.. Bell tPop.. Ccl.1
opposed the measure. He took the grouiid
that it was both unconstitutional aEd
against good public policy.
Mr.. Sulzer Dem-, N. Y.) also antago-
nized the bill, claiming that it would Gre
ate gigantic monopoly which would in
time regulate interest and exchange rates.
Mr.. Barrett (Rep., Mass), offered an
amendment which provided that the pow
ers granted under the bill should be corr
ferred upon any national bank which
filed an application with the controller of
the currency in conformity with the gen
eral requirements of the bill.
MIR. Ridgely Pop.. Kan.) offered a sub
stitute providing that the United States
should establish such a bank as the bill
created and that the bank should have
branch in every city or town exceeding
in population $500 and in every Central
and South American country where the
United States had a consular officer, such

sentative of Aguinaldo. the Filipino Lead
er, had lodge strongly worded protest
with the Commission, which thus becomes
part Of the records. 1t begins with say
ing
The very noble and gallant General
Aguinaldo, President of the Philippine
Republic had honored nin1 with the post
of official representative to the Very
Honorable President of the United
States Agoncillo then reviews the case
at length, saying that at the time of

chiefs" both the Commander of the Pee
trel, Captain Wood, in Hong Kong, be-
fore the declaration of war, and the

Williams, at Cavite, .'acting as the in
ternational agents of the Great Ameri-
can Nation at moment Of great anx-
iety, offered to recognize the independ-
ence of the Filipino Nation as soon as
it's triumph was attained
The protest then recites how Admiral
Dewey. '.by numerous acts" is alleged to
have recognized the Autonomist s0ver-
eighty Of the Filipinos,' and in pic-
turesque language calls for the fulhlmenr
of these promises and fulfilment "of the
solemn declaration made by the ihustrious
William Mckinley that, on going TO war,
he was not guided by the intention OF an
extension of territory but only by the
principles of humanity, by the duty 2f
liberating tyrannized peoples and by tAe
desire to proclaim the unalienable rights

WHISKEY TRUST IbSOLv VENT
Chancellor McGiII Grants a
Rule for a Receiver
ship.

Chancellor McGill granted today rule
to show cause why a receiver should not
be appointed for the "Whiskey Trust,
corporation of this State doing business
in Boston, Mass. The petitioners for
receiver were the Atlas National Bank of
Boston and the American Surety Com
pany of New. York City. Concerned IN
the insolvency proceedings are all the
great Boston banks, including the Massa-
chusetts National, Atlas National, Hide
and Leather, First and Blackstone Banks
The Chemical National Bank and the
American Surety Company of New York
City are among the heaviest creditors
who have loaned money on the "Whiskey
Trusts bonds.
The petition to the Chancellor states the
liabilities of the trust are s974.94s, and the
available assets are about $316,6S5, con-
sisting of real estate, stock and book ac-
counts. The rule to show cause is re-
tarnable in one week and there will be a
big legal fight, because it is claimed that
there is a. movement among the stock
holders and certain bondholders to play
the financial game of freeze out and then
when the receivership is appointed Sc
cure the property and then reorganize
the company. The rule is returnable on
Monday next in Chancery Chambers.

POLICE TO TAKE A HAND
win Find Ont Errors With Emu

when Chief Of Police Murphy learned
this morning that the committee OF me
Board oe Education which has the census
natter in It's hands, had given permission
10 the original enumerators to tlnd the
children. who the police allege exist only
in their imaginations, he called up super
intendent Snyder and proposed to MIN
that the policeman who was sent to verify
the original census be sent with the
enumerator when he made his rounds
again
such a plan,' said the Chief, would
save the trouble and expense of fourth
ana possibly a fifth recount. It is only
fair to the policemen and to the enumera-
tors that they should be sent out to-
aether so that they can find out just
where mistakes have been made. Polics-
men are not infallible. They are lust as
liable to make mistakes as any other
class of men. Perhaps the census taken
by them is full of errors. II any ponce
man is at fault we want to know It and
have him make an explanation to the
Police Board While there may pc mis-
takes in the police census see no reason
why there should be any. The policemen
who took the census all had their day
work to do whether they were at that or
at something else. They would much
rather be engaged in such an occupation
than patrolling the streets. They were
told to take all the time they needed. and
1 see no reason why they should have
overlooked any family.
Superintendent Snyder looks with favor
on Chief Murphy's proposition and will
urge the committee to consent to the ar
rangement proposed in Justice to the
police department

suing riligently for two years past His
offence may be a very serious one should
ne be adjudged sane, as special laws gov
ern the case of foreign legations and em-
bassies.
The matter Is taken coolly at the Brit
ism Embassy where the chief interest IS
in the INJURY to Miss Pauncefote, which
was severe enough to keep her IN ped
this morning. AS to the prosecution OF
Pearson. it is understood that no espe-
cial action will betakem by the Embassy
