WILSON COLLEGE
For Woman-aiowing Description By
a Visitor.

v AlANAAe
To the Editor OF the IntsllIgeneer.
sIR:-By appointment Of the Synod
OF Pennsylvania, the writer recently
visited the Wilson College for Women
situated at chambersburg. Pa, midway
between Aiartinsburg. and Harrisburg.
Several days were spent in studying the
workings OF an Institution which has
come to the front rank Of women's col
leRes. and one OF which the Presbyter-
ians OF the whole synod may wen De
proud. The college has a delightful To-
cation, within walking distance OF the
town. and under the best possible con:
ditiOns for securing the lnterests OF
tho students. The buildings are COM
modioua, and well adapted TO the sew
eral purposes for which they were
erected. Among. the newer buildings y
scientific hall, and senior han. IN
the latter, which Is modern In al It's
appointments. there Is a bath room at
tached to each Of the students rooms;
A new gymnasium Is In course OF
construction, fifty by eighty feet in d.
menslons, and will be ready for use IN
few months. In size Wilson Is the
front college for women in this coun-
try; In the proportion Of teachers 10
students Il stands second. 1t Is also
claimed that but one other college pays
higher average salary to Its teachers
The Rev s. A. Martin. D. D., president
OF the college, and an ideal man for the
position. Is ably assisted by Miss Au-
gusta Kicker, the dean Of the faculty.
and by corps Of teachers, graduated
from the best colleges OF the land. Elk
cellence prevails in all branches OF
study. For example, the course OF mu.
sic Is so thorough that products OF
Wilson are received on certificate at
the Boston Conservatory OF Music, and
are graduated from the latter In one
year.
The table is supplied with substantial
food. Every morning bread Ia receiv-
ed by express before breakfast, from
the FreichofEer's Vienna bakery, OF
Philadelphia. The college owns q herd
of twenty-five Aldermey cows, which
supply the best Of milk. The great din
ing room affords scene OF much In
terest and when this three hundred
students gather In the chapel and the
volume Of sacred music rises and
swells, the impression made upon the
beholder is that the physical wants Of
the young ladies are carefully looked
after. Elghty-fVe per cent Of the
students are protested Christians. IT
need not be said that all the Influences
that contribute toward the moulding OF
the highest type Of womanhood are Of
the best. The young ladies come from
representative families Of the middle
and other states. and many Of them
are daughters Of professional men. a
number OF towns in the neighborhood
Of Wheeling are already represented at
Wilson. Parents in this city who con-
template sending their daughters away
to school for q year or two. or for q
college course, would do well to inquire
into the merits of this institution.
Any further information that may be
needed will be gladly supplied by

THE HAWAIIAN BILL.
Opposition TO n Delegate From the
Island Taking shape.

The same influences that have caused
the Republicans to make their sudden
change of front on the Porto Rican tariff
have now commenced a fight on the pro-
vision in the Hawaiian bill Cor a delegate
IN Congress from those islands. The
House Committee on Territories had a
meeting yesterday, at which Chairman
Knox announced that the ultra protec-
ton element in Congress wanted Hawaii
denied representation. He said he had a
letter from a Senator in which an argu-
ment against a delegate was made, and
in which the committee was also requested
to amend the Hawaiian bill with a declara-
tion that 1t was not the intention to make
Hawaii State of the Union.
Mr.. Hill of Connecticut was understood
to stand ready to oppose in the House the
section OF the bill giving Hawaii represen-
tation.
The committee after an exchange OF
views, put the matter to vote and agreed
unanimously to stand in favor of dele
gate, and TO make no declaration as to
what shall become of Hawaii in the future
Such a declaration was pronounced futile
The committee heard Secretary Gage
and the Director of the Mint on the bill
OF Repres entatfve Knox to take up the
Hawaiian silver circulation. There is about
81 900, 200 in coin and s.. 500 in silver GER
tificate: outstanding. The coins were
minted In the United States, and are
practically the same as our coins, except
in the IMPRINT. The certificates are issued
on coin held by Hawaii. The Treasury
officials approved the bill, and the COM
mittee directed its favorable report

PROTECTION FOR BANKS.
Favorable Report on n Bill RESTRICT
ing Loans and Oycrdrafts

Chairman Brosius. of the House Commit
tee on Banking and Currency, yesterday
submitted the report on the bill to give
greater safety to national banks by re-
strftting the making of loans and over
drafts to bank officers. The report follows:
This bill proposes the only possible rem
edy for an evil of long standing in our
banking system, an evil which is largely
responsible for the chief blemsh upon an
otherwise most admirable system.
From the establishment of the national
banking system in 1860 to October 81 1896.
$50 national bank failed The failure in
The case of tiftytwo of these banks, as re-
ported was caused in part at least by ex-
oessive loans to officers and directors. while
ninetythree of them were wrecked by the
defalcation of officers and fraudulent man
agement-a total in the two classes of 145.
or about A per cent of the total
The present comptroller recommends leg
isiation prohibiting loans to officers and
employees of banks. except upon applica-
ton to and approval by the board of di-
rectors, and he adds Such prohibition
should be made to include directors
These recommendations from the high
est official sources leave nothing to be
said to convince your committee OF the
necessity Of the proposed legislation. The
chief objection urged to this measure is
that capable men viii not serve as officers
and directors il they are placed under the
restriction which it imposes.
I'm answer to this suggestion it may be
said that If a man wishes to become an
officer or director Of a bank for the pur-
pose of becoming borrower he would rot
be the most suitable person to become a
trustee of the stockholders and depositors
of the institution. This bill does not pro-
pose to deprive officers and directors of
proper accommodations at the bank. Le-
gitimate loans on proper security can be
obtained by them and the restrictions i'm
posed are only such as Will tend to prevent
insecure and improper loans without hin
dering secure and proper ones. Noc does
the measure reflect upon the character or
integrity of bankers. AS a class they are
among our most reputable and enterprising
citizens Nor does it expose their relations
to the bank to the public eye, for the bill
does not permit the reports OF the bank to
the Comptroller, which reveal the amount
of loans made to officers and directors, TO
be published in a newspaper as required in
the case of reports on the general condi-
ton of the banks. The trilng incOnve-
nience to which officers and directors may
be subjugated by the operation of the
measure is not to be weighed against its
manifest usefulness to banks ard the pub
lie. by safeguarding the interests of stock
holders and depositors.

unanimous vote when the annual expendi-
lures for the military establishment were
twsnty-four millions. Tho pending bill
carried total of one hundred and twelve
millions, and he yentured the opinion tha
no man on the floor of the House would
live to see the Army again reduced to a
peace basis.
Mr.. Atwater. Of North Carolina reiter-
ated the oft-expressed fear of standing
army demanded that unnecessary war ex-
penses be reduced. and declared that if the
President would make known to the Fill
pinos the intention of the United States
not to hold their lands as possession,
there would not be an insurrectionist in
the islands in three months.
Mr.. briggs. of New York, said he did not
hold the fear of a standing army that he
had heard expressed by his political col
leagues. In the progress of affairs he
deemed an increase of the Army necessary.
He reviewed the history of standing
armies, beginning with Charles VII Of
France. who organized the first regular
standing army in HAS. But there was no
necessity for the increase of the present
force of the Army if the reports in certain
Republican papers inspired by the Ad-
ministration were true. that state of war
does not exist in the Philippines. He
euiosized the citizen soldiery, and said that
the moment We departed from them as the
basis Of defence was the moment We had
TO fea- the invasion of foreign foe.
Mr. Meyer of Louisiana spoke on the
question of expansion, opposing it. He said
that If the Philippines were retained in
the possession of the United States there
should be protection of the people of this
country against the productions of the ISL
ands. without concluding his remarks. Mr..
Meyer yielded the floor. The committee
rose and at sos o'clock the House adjourn
