Roberts Says National city Bank
VIII Distribute Them.

Washington, Jan. 2-Elhs H. Roberts
treasurer of the United States, announces
that the distribution OF The internal reve-
nue. collections is going on according to
the original plan. and probably will be
completed to the first group of additional
depository banks in eight days. He says:
Every application for a share of these
deposits has been accepted and no re-
striction has been set on the amount of
bonds placed as security by any applicant.
When the depository bank was already
the recipient of internal revenue collec-
tons, it has been permitted to retain the
deposits to the amount of its pledged
bonds. In cases where the rate of ex-
change rendered transfers to New York
a burden the funds have been assigned
ing localities. With these exceptions, the
internal revenue collections have been con-
centrated in the National City Bank New
York for convenience of distribution.
Every day these collectors have been
distributed in instalments of $4,000 to tbs
several depository banks in the ratio of
their bonds to the total amount pledged.
BY this process the smaller banks first
received their quota, and funds remained
in the National City Bank only as the
distribution went forward"
Among the banks in the first group are
the Norfolk National which deposited
100000 in bonds; National Bank of Vir-
ginia Richmond, $4,000; and the Planters

London. Dec 30.-The discussion in re-

Following Emperor Williams decision,
Germany officially starts the new century
next Monday. The Emperors delusion on
this point may be hereditary for when,
on Jan. /, 1850. the Times had an editorial
ON the commencement of the second half
of the century," a discussion similar to
the present one ragged. and the Emperor
grandfather, the Prince Consort upheld
the Times contention. The most prom-
nent victim of the delusion here Is no
less distinguished person than that
great mathematician and scientist, Lord
Kelvin.
1t seems an open question whether the
clergymen of the Church of England are
not bound to follow Emperor William and
Lord Kelvin. At a recent conference the
archbishops reminded them of their strict
obligation to adhere 90 the prayer booze

Talk of Its Making More Liberal
Corporation laws

New York, Jan. 2.-Lynn T. Ieet. a
Montreal banker, is in New York as the
unofficial representative of the govern
ment of Quebec province. the object of
MS visit being to confer with some at
torneys and chiefs of corporations recent
ly organized under the New jersey law.
with view to the Introduction of New
jerseys liberal system of incorporation
into Quebec.
Mr.. Leet is a close friend of Wilfrid
Laurler, premier of Canada, ana is one
OF the most influential leaders of the
Liberal party. Mr.. Leet said:
When the Quebec LEGISLATURE meets
on Jan. is there is little doubt that a
bill VIII be passed, making is possible for
me province not only to get all the bene-
nus through taxation that now accrue to
American states where Canadian com.
panles are incorporated, but also making
II attractive for new companies of the
Chlted States TO take out their incorpora-
ton papers in Quebec and thus as foreign
corporations escape the hostile legislation
threatened by any states of the
Union, or unfriendIy laws which
are are already an accomplished
fact. Quebec is distinctly the commercial
province in the Dominion, while Mon
treaL the capital, is also the financial
metropolis of Canada, and would be con-
venient home for all important CONNER
cial companies either of Canada or of the
United States
From The entry into Quebec of corpor-
atoms which no longer find it safe or de-
sirable to locate in the United States we
will gain as much revenue as has New
Jersey, which for the past year has had
100000 surplus left over after paying
all state expenses, and as Delaware, which
in the last three months since it's new in
corporation law has been in effect has
taken in $4,000 for incorporation fees.
In case of drastic antitrust legislation
in the United States to go to Quebec will
be The easier, perhaps the only solution
of many of the large Industrial combina-
tons of the United States"

TWO MAY ESCAPE GALLOWS.
CHANNELL's SENTENCE LIKELY TO
BE COMMITTED.

Prison Commission So Recommends
in the Case of Postmaster Thomp-
sons siayer-Life imprisonment
Also Recommended for sam Fill
man, Who Killed Negro in
screven County-GOvernOr Will
Probably Decide To-day.
Atlanta, Jan. At is pretty safe to pre-
diet that the two hangings booked for
next Friday and Saturday will not take
place. The condemned men are w. 7.
Channel, now in Chatham jail, and Sam
Fillman, a negro, in the Screven county
Jail.
From the nature of the evidence ana
the showing made in behalf of the con.
demned men, the Prison Commission rec
commended to Gov. Gambler to-day the
communication of the sentences of both
these men.
The Governor took the papers home with
him this afternoon, and at a late hour to-
night was engaged in considering the
cases. He said he thought he would be
able to make his decision tomorrow
Channel, it will be recalled is the young
death for the murder of Postmaster
Thompson of Glenwood, Montgomery
county. The respite recently given to the
condemned man will expire Friday unless
his sentence IS committed by the Gov
ernor, as the commission recommends.
Channel was railroad agent a Glenwood
and had resided in Montgomery county but
n short time before the killing Ii was
charged by the prosecution that Channel
was implicated in some conspiracy cases
with number of other people, who have
Tencently been indicted by the federal
grand jury, and that CHANNEL killed
Thomson because he was in the way of
the conspirators.
Al The trial. which occurred at Mt. Yer
non, it was claimed by the defense that
the postmaster had made improper ad-
vances to the wife of the railroad agent.
and il was in defense of his wife's honor
that CHANNEL took Thompson's life.
Sam Fillman killed another negro in
Screven county at frolic last fall. He
was tried and convicted, the jury failing
to recommend to mercy. Ii was claimed
for Fillman that he was right-handed and
that the pistol was in his left hand when
it fired and that the discharge was acct
dental
Judge Beverly D. Evans of the middle
circuit, who presided in the case, called
in person at the office of the Prison Com
mission and strongly urged that the sem
tence be committed, as there was some
doubt as to F'illman's criminal intention.
