SETTLEMENT OF ACCOUNTS
Tennessee Claims Against United States
 Will Soon be Disposed Of

Washington, January 10-The long stand ing accounts between the state of Tennes- see and the United States now seem to be in fair way of settlement By resolu- ton adopted in May, 1898, congress em- powered the attorney-general, the secreta- ry of the treasury and the secretary of war to sit as a tribunal to hear arguments on behalf of the state and to determine what amounts, if any, are due the state from the United States, and what oblisa- tions of the state to the United States re- main undischarged. The governments claims aggregate about $500 000, and include state bonds purchased as an investment of Indian trust funds to the amount of $500 ,OO0.
 The claims of the state amount to about N,N00O0, and include the use of railroads during the war on which the state had a lien; keeping prisoners and rent of peni- tentiary and blind asylum building. To- day the attorney sitting with the secretary Of the treasury and the secretary or war, Messrs. Vertrees, Barr and Hive key on behalf of the state, and after an hours discussion adjourned to meet again on the 17th instant to enable the attorneys or the state to prepare additional brief in the case.

HALE'S RESOLUTION
Relative to Seizure of American Flour
 by Great Britain

Washington, January 10.-Senator Hale, of Maine, today offered the following reso- lution relating to the alleged seizure of American flour by the British government:
 Whereas, property of the citizens of the United States, not contraband of war, has lately been seized by the military authori- ties of Great Britain, and near Delago bay, South Africa. without good reason for the same, and contrary to the accepted princi- pies of International law and,
 Whereas, said property is now unjustly detained by, the military authorities of Great Britain in disregard of the rights of the owners of the same; therefore, be it
 Resolved, by the senate of the UniSed States. that the secretary of state is here by requested to send to the senate all in- formation in the possession of the state de- partment relating to said seizure and de- tentton and also to inform the senate what steps have been taken in requesting the restoration of property taken and de- taiued as aforesaid, and whether or not the department has informed the proper Brit isCl authorities that if said detention is persisted in such act will be considre1 as without warrant and offensive to the gov ernment and people of the United States"

BESSEMER.

Bessemer, January 10.-0Special) )-The officials of the Republic Iron and Steel company were in town today on a special car. They were shown through the plant of the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company and Vice-President George D. Wick and Secretary and Treas urer s. J. Llewelen visited the rolling mill, over which they were shown by Su- Aperintendent Prftchard. They said noth- ing to indicate that they had purchased or intended to purchase the mill though they made a most thorough inspection of it. In connection with the denials now made by the Republic company regarding the mills purchase, it is interesting to re- call the we'll known fact that the company endeavoEed to buy it a year ago, but were unwilling to pay the price asked for it. Whatever is to be the ultimate disposition Of the property, it will be a great relief to citizens when the true facts, now so care- fully shrouded in mystery, become known.
 The presence in town of John Day and F. E. Glenn, well known pipe manufactur- CTS of Chicago, was chronicled in the Age Herald several days ago.

 Cites Decisions
 The secretary cites decisions of tife su- preme court which established the ques- ton of the legality of his question.
 The comptroller of the currency, whose decision is binding upon the executive branch of the government, holds that mo- ney Is paid into the treasury of the Unit ed States by being deposited with the treasurer of the United States here in Washington or to his credit with an assis- tant or with national bank depositary" That has been the accepted rule governing the offices of the government for many years. Letters from officials Of thirty or forty years service in the treasury depart- ment are quoted showing that money deposited in the depositary banks is as much deposited in the treasury of the United States as when deposited in the New York sub-treasury.
 The customs property was sold July ,, 1929, to the National iCty Bank for $3.265,- VcO which amount was $190000 larger tran that rendered by the next highest bidder.
 on August certificates of deposit were forwarded to the department covering s3,- 2l0,OO0 credit as proceeds of the custom property sale in the general account of the treasury with the National City bank, a de- positG-y bank. The treasurer duly accept ed the fund deposit in the treasury" It was subject to his Jurisdiction and or der. Subsequently, the National City bank was ordered, by the treasurer, to transfer to the sub-treasury and other national bank depostaries sums aggregating $3200, 900. No rent has been paid to the National City bank for the governments occupancy for the reason that such payments await ap- propriation by congress.
 The correspondence between the depart ment and National City bank is quoted showing tne refusal of the department to give the National City bank it's full balance of &000,000 except concurrently with all other banks in the first group. the balances of the National City bank and the Hanover National bank being built up pro rata with all other banks.

balances reaching s6l.54eOOo On March l. 1897. there were national bank depositaries holding a total of s1619S,410
 With few exceptions these institutions received deposits from internal revenue collectors and remitted the sub-treasury and surplus over the amount of the fixed balance, which they were permitted to hold. The amount of public deposits re- mained about the same during the first months of this administration. In Novem- Der beitween large payments which resulted from the highly successful settlement of the Union Pacific railroad payments aggre- gating $5S4is 22s, it was thought to be eX- pedient as a part of this enormous trans action to utilize for few days the ser vices of depositary banks with the result that at=the end of December 1897, such de- posits had increased to $49, ,1S2,717. The req son for this action was to avoid the inju- rious effect on trade and industry of a sudden withdrawal from public uses into the vaults of the treasury of so large a sum as $5S,0O0,0O0 By the end of May, 1898, these public deposits had been reduced to BPS, ,239, ,539
