In Re Norway Savings Bank.
To the Honorable Sewall c. Strout,
Justice Supreme judicial Court.
In the above matter it becames my
official duty as 4 party to the proceed
ings, to make report to the honorable
court on the condition of the above
institution, as ascertained by a full ex-
animation of it's affairs, and to give a
full statement of all proceedings rela-
tive to the same since the original petit
ton was filed in this case.
In August. 1899 soon after the death
of the former treasurer. Seward $.
Stearns. it was ascertained that there
was a discrepancy between the footing
of the individual ledger account and
the deposit account carried in the
weekly balance as the aggregate
amount due the depositors in the bank.
preliminary investigation showed
that this difference was enough to rem
der the bank insolvent unless the
shortage could be made up from the
estate of the late treasurer. or by re-
course to surety bonds.
w men MI. Sttdi IFS III St doShiiitt tilS
position of treasurer. he gave com
mon-law bona in the sum of $4,000 for
the faithful discharge of his duties
signed by himself and his wife without
limitation or condition, and by Il
others whose individual liability was
limited to $1,000. The bond by its ex-
press terms covered a period of hVa
wears from its date, expiring, May -.
1899 At its expiration surety bond
was obtained from the Union SAFE
Deposit and Trust Company of Port
land. covering the period from May 10,
1899. to the date of the treasurer s
death.
AT the time I made my last official
examination of the institution on May
4. 1899 the treasurer's bond was eX-
animation of the institution on May 4.
1899 the treasurers bond was eX-
amined and approved. although atten-
tjor was then called to the fact that il
would soon expire. and directions Were
then given for new one TO De pro-
cured to take its place. The old bond
had always been in the custody OF one
of the trustees of the bank, as is usual
in all the savings banks of the State.
During this investigation it was as
certained that the old bond covering
the full period of the treasurer's ser
vices prior to May Is, 1899. had disap-
neared and could not be found. While
it is not definitely known how it dis
appeared it seems probable that the
custodian delivered ii, to the treasurer
after the surety bond was obtained,
thinking that it had ceased to be of
special value. and that it might BE-
filed in the vaults Of the bank.

occurred to depositors during the
period that bond was in force, and the
prompt settlement by the surety COM
pany proved of great assistance in OBJ
tanning the results covered by this re
port.
This left a difference of $25S5.30 I'M
provided for. The examination made
il evident that at least this difference
existed prior to aIay Is. 1894, and dur
ing the time Mr.. Stearns was conduct
ing the affairs of the bank as clerk, as
stated above. This being the case, it
became necessary to look to the bond
and estate of the treasurer in whose
employ Stearns was at the time this
difference occurred. as the treasurer
was legally responsible therefor. Ne
gotta tons We're opened, and, after
carefully going over the matter, it was
deemed advisable to settle this part of
the shortage for $780, which was ac-
cordingly done and this amount paid
in to the bank.
In settling with these various par
ties the officers of the bank have used
every effort to protect the rights of
the depositors, and it is believed
enough has been secured to fully pro-
tect them from any consequent loss.
The total amount collected and turn
ed in to the bank on account of the
different bonds. including the amount
received from the estate of Mr.
Stearns. is $14,65S.31.
During the tendency Of these pro-
ceedings expenses have been incurred
in the management of the affairs of
the bank amounting to $339.52. as will
appear by an itemized statement here
to attached.
The present treasurer, after credit
ing the several amounts collected as
stated above, and charging the bank
with the $17,332.27. and increasing the
deposit account to that amount, has
deducted the difference between the
amount received from the severa
sureties and the l7332.27 from the
profit and loss account. has made VI
the attached statement as showing the
true condition of the bank on this day
Wherefore, We. the aforesaid officers
ask that all of the doings as afore-
said may be ratified. approved and
affirmed: that We may be authorized
to pay said outstanding bills for eX-
penses incurred. and to pay QepoSitors
in said bank on the conditions and
terms provided by statute; that the
bank may be authorized to receive de-
posts and transact any other business
savings bank is authorized to do I'M
der the laws of the State of Maine. and
that the bank may be discharged from
further proceedings in this case.

In speaking of the manner Of pro-

have been possible. Mr.. Stearns. ii is

TRADE OF LADRONE ISLANDS
Call for Little from Outside World
and Do Not Have Much to
DisuOse OF.

WASHINGTON, March 17-Some indica-
tion Of the actual trade of the Ladrone
islands, whose commercial status has been
lest sight of in published statistics about
the east, is given in figures included in
recent report Of Chief Frank II. Hitchcock
of the foreign markets section OF the AZ
ricultural department, on the trade of the
Philippines The figures, fragmentary at
best, are mostly combined with other
islands 1t is shown that the imports into
the United States from the Ladrones and the
Caroline islands combined in 1897 had a
value Of $5.O47; in 1887, ten years pre-
vously, of $3S2S, and in 1889 of $242,iS7.
The merchandise !cmprehended in the
last named figures, however, was sugar,
which probably came originally from the
Philippines. The only available figure as TO
exports is for 1890, when the exports from
the United States into the Ladgones and
the Carollnes footed up $S,SS4. What trade
the LadrCnes have is naturally mostly with
other Pacific islands. Western Australia
exported to Guam in the Ladrones, $1O8,-
484 Of domestic merchandise in 1887 and
but $l5,1 in 1892, and foreign merchandise
nuctuated from SIS in 1857 to $243 in 1894.
The total exports from western Australia
10 Guam in 1896 were $l37 ,43O. Exports
from New South Wales to Guam increased
from s8,9l5 of domestic merchandise in 1889
to SIS ,145 in 1891, and in 1886 the foreign
merchandise exported to Guam was only
$l9
Although Victcria's commerce with the
Philippines during 1887 to 1897 was eN-
tremcly small exports of considerable value
were sent to Guam. In 1892 to 1896 the
average annual value of the merchandise,
foreign and domestic, shipped from Vic
tgria to Guam reached rs Nigh as $S6S,2O9
Domestic merchandise shipped from Vic
toria into Guam is mainly wheat, wheat
-four and biscuits The total exports to
Guam from New Zealand were S14 ,531 in
1893 of domestic merchandise and $63 of
foreign merchandise in 1896. This foreign
morchandise in 1898 scored only S. Oats,
wheat, potatoes and lumber were the prin-
cipal Cf these exports.
