RUSSIA AGREES TO ARBrTRATE.

Russia has given new evidence of her
friendship for the United States in agree
ing to submit to arbitration the claims re-
sulting from the seizure of some American
sealing vessels in Russian waters nearly ten
years ago. The claims are not large, aggre-
eating only about $50, OO0 but there is a
delicate aspect to the case in the fact that
the largest item is on account OF the suf-
ferings of the American officers and crews
while under arrest. II seems somewhat sur
prising that the Russian government
should. by submitting the question to ar
bitration. concede the possibility of claim
for damages on such grounds. So great
power might have taken the ground that
her treatment Of prisoners was never cruel,
and that while there might be a just claim
for damages on account of property seized
there could not be any for cause reflect
ing on the honor of the government. That
Russia has not chosen to take that ground
seems to indicate a very friendly DISPOSE
ton towards the United States. 1t is safe
to assert she would not have recognized
such a claim from any European power nor
could the United States have forced her to
do so. President Mckinley said in his mes
sage last year: 1.-The claims of owners of
American sealing vessels for seizure by
Russian cruisers in Boring are being
pressed to settlement. The equities of the
cases justify the expectation that a meas
ure of reparation will eventually be &C
corded I'm harmony with precedent and in
he 10Th Cf ha 10 &c ha-
lieved to be the first time that Russia has
ever submitted any international question
or claim to arbitration.
A novel feature of the case is that the
American sealers were seized nearly seven
miles from the Siberian coast. 1t is an es-
tablished principle of international law that
a state has jurisdiction over a strip of the
sea for three miles from the shore. This
principle has long been recognized as that
of the marine league. One of the chief
reasons for recognizing the principle was
that 1T had to do with seacoast defense, that
being about the limit of the range Of
cannon in former times. 1t is now said that
Russia will defend the right to seize the
American vessels seven miles from the
coast, on the ground that the old marine
league should be extended to correspond
with the increased range Of modern guns.
The idea Is not new. for an American writ
er on international law said, ten years ago:
CAS- one Of the chief reasons for recognize
ing Jurisdiction over the three-mile limit
has to do with questions of seacoast de-
Tense. it seems proper that the width of
this zone should increase as the range Of
modern artillery Increases This sugges-
ton, however, has not been adopted. and
the marine league is still the rule of inter-
national law The subject would have been
a proper one for consideration at the con-
ference at The Hague. but 1t was not
brought up. Russia cannot maintain the
seven-mile contention.

THE BANKERS ASSOCIATION.

Very few men, and they chiefly for polit-
zeal effect. are hostile to banking associa-
tons in this day and generation. The ma
tional bank will be berated by crossroads
organs because of it's name and of its ma
tional bonds. and by demagogues pending
elections. but during normal seasons. when
men are in their right minds, the bank is
regarded with favor by all fairly intelligent
people With the growth of business in a
community a bank becomes a necessity be-
cause to 1t is carried all the money not in
to borrow money. The bank brings the bor-
rover and lender together But for 1t all
the little sums which make up the deposits
of bank would be so much practically
useless money scattered among the individ-
uals of a community. OF even greater value
to a community is a bank in the saving of
actual money in the transfer of credits. The
banks, by their system of exchanges by
checks, practically save 81 per cent. of
actual money used in business. But for that
system the business of the country would
be greatly curtailed.
In view of such facts the meeting of the
Indiana Bankers Association should attract
as much or more general attention than the
meeting Of any other business or industrial
association because 1t comes nearer to more
people. 1t should be cause for congratula-
ton that the reports of the Indiana associa-
ton show the banks to be in a condition to
promote the general business of the State.
and that they are entitled to the confidence
of depositors and customers. The general
recommendations which were made at yes
terdays meeting regarding circulation, tax
alton, etc. doubtless meet with the approval
of the public. since nothing can be gained
to the public by denying to the banks the
facilities necessary to extend the fullest as
sistance TO the business of the country
There is no reason why national banks
should not be organized with $4,000 capital
To loaning bank funds on real estate there
is serious objection. The bank should con

SOUND CONDITION.
The other letter read was prepared by T.
B. Laycock & Co. and dealt with more spe-
cial subjects. In substance it said. as the
situation was summed up: I'VE cannot but
feel that, with a home market whose de-
mands at present are greater than the ca
pacity Of our factories TO supply. and with
foreign market knocking at our doors for
our products. with an army in the field and
a navy covered with glory. with our coun-
try pride and patriotism running high, and
our national treasury full Of gold, the pres
ent situation Is perfectly sound, and guar
antees, We believe, a continuance of present
conditions, IL not for years 10 come. at least
until the middle OF next season, and then
the campaign"
A general discussion followed, I'm which
the taxtaion OF the banks compared TO
the taxation of real estate was considered.
The sentiment uncovered in the debate un-
doubtedly favored a uniform rate of assess
ment throughout the State. Among the
other subjects discussed generally was
whether real estate should be deducted from
bank assessments at assessed valuation or
| real valuation. Another subject which was
particularly interesting to the fnanciers

| hand. in transit and on deposit with other
| banks without deducting the indebtedness
| No action other than a general review or

was announced that the annual banquet or
the association was to be held in the even
| ing. The convention will again be called to
| order this morning at 10 o'clock. when John

Mr.. CornweIl,s Address.

The morning meeting was closed with an
address delivered by William c. Cornwell,
who Is the president of the Buffalo City
National Bank and is one of the visiting
financiers. Mr.. Cornwell spoke upon the
Bankers Duty as an Educator" and spoke
in part as follows:
Il suppose every worker is bound to teach
something of what he knows to the people
he comes in contact with, and so leave the
world a little better off in knowledge when
he goes out of it. The laborer. at least by
his example OF uncomplaining honest IN
dustry, certainly teaches something. The
mechanic, the inventor and the scientist
each pushes world knowledge up several
notches from one generation to the next.
The doctor teaches hygienic care: the law
yer teaches hope of ultimate justice-if not
here at least hereafter-and the minister
certainly is teacher more than anything
else.
II do not think the banker has been much
OF teacher In this country. III he had been,
do not believe the prevalent Ill VIII

This prejudice, the speaker said. was due
| largely 10 the effect OF the speeches o.
emagogues who have persistently taught
| that banks a selfish monopoly and that
their damage was to be accomplished by
whatever means could be brought to bear
upon them. This condition Of affairs Is due
| largely to the bankers themselves who have
| failed to educate the people as to what a
bank actually is and for what purpose Ii is
| established. Mr. Cornwell continued:
| ITO educate the people as TO what bank
