"RIOT CASES" ON TRIAL.
Corporations Suing City of Chicago
for Loss of Property.

CHICAGO, November 13.-The trial of
what are known the riot cases" will
begin before Judge Kohlsaat in the United
States district court today. These are the
cases il which various railway companies
ask for judgment against the city for dam
ages to their property suffered during the
railroad strike of "a on account of alleged
failure of the police authorities to furnish
adequate protection. One Of these cases
minor one, was tried and taken to the
state supreme court by the city on the plea
that the state statute holding the city liable
for damages Of this character was uncon-
stitutional
The supreme court, however, held the
statute constitutional, and decided that the
city must pay. The present cases accord
fngiy will turn simply on questions of fact,
the city trying 10 show the companies have
not suffered as much they claim. The
aggregate of these claims is nearly S. O00,-
600.
Chief Ripley issued an order to all men,
bers of the police department who were on
active service at the time of the strike to
call at the controllers office yesterday
morning and give their testimony. Almost
300 patrolmen responded and turned in their
testimony

contractors in the repair of the Aqueduct
bridge and the dredging of the Potomac
river opposite Washington. The operations
for the repair OF the bridge confined to
the quarrying and dressing of stone for the
damaged pier. During the month of Octo-
Der only 0,1iS cubic yards of material were
dredged from the Virginia channel of the
Potomac above the Long bridge, despite the
fact that the contract calls for the dredg-
ing of not less than $1,000 cubic yards per
month.
The west half of the channel has now
been dredged from the upper end of the
bar to station 50. and the east half to sta
ton 26, or little more than half way
through the bar. The width OF the dredged
channel Is 400 feet. While a depth of n

Thursday. may turn out to be correct, but
in view of previous experience 1t must be
received with caution.
1t appears. however, certain that heavy
fighting occurred, and that the lyddite of

on the burgher forces If it reached them.
Joubert Waiting for Guns.
A belated dispatch from Ladysmith, da-
ted November 6, by way of Estcourt, I'M
der date of November o confirms the idea
that the temporary cessation of the Boer
bombardment was due to Gen. Joubert
awaiting the arrival of other position guns
before tackling the work in earnest. 1t
also says:
Every one is cheerful and confident. We
can show rigid front for weeks to come.
Hitherto the bombardment has done little
damage. Yesterday the Beers sent in eight
wounded from Dundee. We have been by
train to the Beers advanced post. The
Beers consider their success was due to the
business of their cause. They have been
guilty of abusing the Red Cross flag. News
from the south is scanty. A number of
guns IN position all round 1t was
difficult at first to locate them, as they
use smokeless explosives. but balloon
managed to discover all the positions"

FINANCIAL iNSTIT TON
Two of the Local Trust Companies and
the Clearing House.
Arrangements Made for Complete
Daily Clearing-A Change In Ex-
listing Relations Predicted.

A change has been made in the relations
of the American Security and Trust Com
pany and the Washington Loan and Trust
Company. respectively, to the Washington
Clearing House. The latter Is an associa-
ton OF all the national banks of the city
with the exception of two. These two trust
companies, whoe are not members of the
association, have heretofore cashed the
checks OF local banks received IN the course
Of business through members OF the asso-
citation.
There was no arrangement made, how
ever, for clearing the checks on the trust
companies, 50 each day runners from the
different banks came to the two concerns
and presented the checks drawn on them
and received the cash. Now. however
checks of the trust companies are brought
each day by representatives of the differ
ent banks to the Clearing House. in en-
velopes, just the checks of other banks
are treated, and are there presented to
the members of the Clearing House rep
resenting the trust companies The checks
are then paid by these members and the
transaction is complete.
1T Is possible that this Arrangement MAY,
lead to still closer connection between the
trust companies of the city and the asso-
citation of national banks known as the
clearing mouse Some years ago in fact
was made by the trust companies for ad-
mission to membership. Al that time 1t was
thought 1t would be necessary for the asso-
citation to issue clearing house certificates
in order to relieve the stringency in the
money market.
In view of this possibility, it was de-
cided that it would not be advisable to
admit the trust companies Since that
time no further steps have been taken in
the matter While the present arrange
nent is entirely satisfactory to all par
ties, it it thought not unlikely that an
actual union is not improbable in the flu
ture.
In this connection it is interesting to note
that the trust companies in New York CITY
have just been made members of the New
York clearing house. 1t is thought. how
ever, that this action is largely prompted
by the regulation which the New York
banks are now enforcing of making a
charge for the collection of checks of banks
in places outside of certain cities
1t is believed it would be impossible for
the banks to maintain this tax with the
trust companies outside of the association
for the reason that the deposits of outside
banks withdrawn from national banks
would very largely have found their way
to the trust companies.
