An Important Ruling.

An important ruling has been mad
by Charles G. Dawes, Comptroller o
the Currency, relating to the practic,
OF the comptrOller's Office in regard tt
the collection Of assessments againsr
the stockholders of insolvent nationa
banks and the distribution OF the pro
ceeds of such assessments.
Under this ruling, whenever 1t be
comes necessary in adjusting the
rights of creditors and stockholders OF
lnsolvent banks to either levy a sec.
ond assessment upon stockholders fol
the benefit of the creditors, or to re-
turn an excessive assessment to stock.
holders, the comptroller will review
the original assessment for the pur-
pose OF making such adjustment,
contrary to the practice Of the office
heretofore, which has been to regard
an assessment based on the first esti.
mate Of deficiency in the banks assets
as final, irrespective OF whether that
estimate was, as a matter of fact, toe
large or too small.
This ruling Is Of great importance
as 1t relates to assessments ALREADY
levied throughout the country, as well
as those hereafter to be 9levled upon
stockholders in insolveLt national
banks, whose affairs are not entirely
closed.
In his ruling upon the particular
case in question Mr.. Dawes says,

and other wealthy Eastern men. Otis referred
him to his attorney. Mr.. Campbell. and to the
latter the alleged bribery money WAS paid. Otis
was not present when any OF it was paid.
Col. Campbell was q spectacular witness dur.
ing the afternoon. He had been uced to
Boyce by Otis at a Cincinnati Hotel and after
several meetings they got down to business.
Boyce was willing to pay Otis 81, 500 for his
vote, but Campbell was positive this was not
enough. At another meeting 10000 was
paid the next day in Columbus, and the remain
ing $4,000 after the ballot for Senator. In con-
formity with agreement. BOyce paid over $3.50,
having previously given Campbell 81. 900. and
making 81. $50 in all.
That night rumors got abroad, and Boyce dis
appeared, leaving the money and various notes
In his handwriting In the possession of Col,
Campbell. He has never been heard OF since.
Boyce. so Campbell says. told him he had bought
members for 81, 800 each and another for less

TOM JOHNSON SELLS STOCK.
He Mas Disposed or His Consolidated street
Railroad Holdings In Cleveland.


Railroad Holdings In Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, o.. Jan. 2s~Cleveland was sur
prlsed to-day when 1t was learned that Tom l..
Johnson had parted with his big Consolidated
Street Railway stock. When the Big Consoli.
dated was organized Mr.. Johnson's holdings
amounted to 81 800, 0OO. He was one of the
organizers of tho road. the oficial name Of
which is the Cleveland Electric Railway. 1t
was a limo which johnson built up. Here he
got his start in the financial world. When the
consolidation was effected johnson became tho
practical head of the lines. So strongly was lao
identified with the road that it was frequently
known as Johnson's road.
Although the fact was not known, Johnson
has been selling off stock ever since the fall cleo
ton. About two months ago he began selling
his holdings In large blocks. and since then has
sold 5000 shares. He had no broker. but sold
the stock direct TO the investors. About ten days
ago johnson sold a block of 900 shares to one
OF the present directors of the company. This
transaction became known. and a prominent
banker. thinking tho stock. was low, called on
neighborhood of 5000 shares left. The banker
bought the stock at what he considers a low
figure.
This withdrawal from the Big Consolidated is
only another step IN Mr.. JOhnsOn's desire 10
withdraw actively from Cleveland business al
fairs. First he abandoned his newspaper, the
Recorder, just at a time when IL had reached lis
greatest prosperity. He next leased his hand
some new rehidence, and 10 also said TO be with

DR.. Fridtjof Nansen delivered his last lecture
in this country at Carnegie Hall last night. In
the course of it he made an interesting an
n~ouncement.
when I proposed building a ship said he,
~"strong enough to withstand the squeezing of
tho ice, aud suggested that 1t be allowed to fol-
low the ice current, all Of the wise men declared
my scheme impossible. They declared there
was no Ice current. and they added that a ship
could not be built strong enough to Withstand
the ice pressure. Here is a picture Of the Fran.
She is the ship we built. She was not only
strong enough to undergo three years of bat
Ting with the ice, but she is still so good that
next year sho will assist in your own American
expedition under Lieut.. Peary. who will try to
reach a point further north than 1 went"
When DR.. Nansen concluded his address the
applause was loud and long. He left the stage,
but was forced to return.
II cannot leave this country without return
ing my thanks he declared. before 1 came
here 1 knew that the Americana were people of
great deeds. Now I know also they are people
OF great hearts and are able to appreciate great
deeds Of other nations.

two nations to be firmly cemented together in
bonds of eternal and fraternal love. Again I
thank you for your kindness to me as n nation"
There were not 100 unoccupled seats In the
big hall during the lecture and all the boxes
were filed. So great was the crowd that DR..
Nansen was unable to begin his lecture until
half an hour after the time set. Then 1t was
announced that owing to a general demand and
4 great many letters he would not deliver a new
lecture. but would repeat the one entitled
Across the North Polar Region"
II had intended originally said DR.. Nansen,
ito relate tonight my experiences on my first
visit to the Polar regions when / went there in
a sealer in 1882. Ihavc yielded to many re-
quests and will repeat my former lecture; but l
would not feel that l was treating you honestly
l display with the other lecture"
For moro than half an hour DR.. Sansen spoke
on his first visit to the Polar regions, and
showed nearly all the pictures used In the
lecture concerning +. Then he glidod into the
lecture relating to his last expedition. and re-
ceived fully as much applause as when he de-
livcred 1t first.
