day from Port Limon and reported
that Capt W. Reid. of that steamer,
had died Of yellow fever on November
LIST. The authorities of Port Limon
would not allow the burial of the body
ashore and the Adler was obliged to
steam outside the harbor and bury the
remains at sea.
Captain Reid was thirty years of age
and a native of Aberdeen. Scotland.
The chief officer, Mr.. Waite. brought
the steamer to this port. The Adler
sailed from New Orleans October 18th
for Boca del Toro and thence for Port
Limon. 1t is thought that Captain
Reid contracted the disease at Boca del
Toro. The Adler is held at quarantine
for disinfection.

post credits of the country, and it is
the belief OF the Comptroller that in
times of liquidation the greater
strength OF the banks will more than
compensate them for the loss of the
small amount of interest on portion
of their balances which may be due to
a change in the present law.
1t is therefore recommended that sec
ton 51S2 of the revised statutes of the
United States be amended so that under
its provisions but one-fifth instead of
three-fifth OF the reserve of Is per cent
required by law to be kept by banks
not reseve agents may consist of bal
ances due to reserve banks; and that
the section 51S5 of the revised statutes
OF the United States, which authorizes
banks in smaller reserve cities to keep
onelhaf of their lawful money reserve
in balances in central reserve cities. be
repealed.
Recommendation as to Fees for Ma
tionaI Bank Examinations.
The Comptroller repeats the recon-
mendation made by his predecessor that
the present law should be so amended
as to provide fixed salaries for bank
examiners, to be paid from fund col
lected from the banks, to take the place
of the fee system now in force. The
amount allowed an examiner for the
examination of smaller banks is not
SUFFICIENT to compensate him for the
time necessary in many cases for an
extended examination. The present
system encourages, to too great an ex-

tent, superf1ciality in examinations and
interferes greatly with the proper and
wise apportionment of time of examin-
ers among the different banks.
Among other recommendations, the
Comptroller strongly urges laws regu-
lating international and intercolonial
banking as distinguished from domestic
banking, and prints in an appendix the
result of investigations into banking
conditions in Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines.
