great difficulty in dealing with the un-

return to their several detention camps
until they have some other abiding
place, is that they do not return but
prefer to herd on, and overcrowd, the
tenements or shaCks occupied by their
friends, or walk the streets unCared for
until they drop with exhaustion and
hunger; simply because they believe
the returning to a camp will mean
further term of quarantine. This illus

HIS RESIGNATION WITHDRAWN.
General Wheeler Has Been Put Upon
Waiting Orders.

AS a result of several conferences be-
tween the Secretary of War and Gen. Joe
Wheeler, the latter has withdrawn his res
ignaticn from the volunteer army and been
placed on waiting orders.
Under this arrangement Gen. Wheeler
will remain in the service of the United
States until opportunity is had to deter
mine whether he shall be given an active
command under his volunteer commission
whether he shall be appointed a brisadier
general in the regular army and retired, or
whether he shall be honorably discharged
when the volunteer army is mustered out
of the military service. Without special
LEGISLATION it Will be impossible to appoint
Gen. Wheeler to the regular army before
the retirement of Maj. Gen Merritt in June
next as there will be no vacancy III the list
of brigadier generals until that time
Even should Gen. Wheeler pe appointed
to this prospective vacancy, he would have
but little over two months to serve on the
active list, he will reach the statutory
retiring age of sixty-four years in Septem-
ber next.
In case it is so desired it will be nossibIa
to appoint General Wheeler TO the regular
army in June next and have him retire at
once. He Is eligible for retirement under
the statute, which authorizes the President
to retire an officer who has reached the ago
or slXty-two years. In case it is decided 10

army it is probable that he will shortly he

tary departments, the department of the
lakes or the department of the Columbia.
with the chances in favor of the first
named, and he could retain that command
up to the time of his retirement in the reg
ular establishment.
The appointment and retirement of Gen.
Wheeler in June next would enable the
President TO appoint another officer to the
grade of brigadier general, and if that
oincer was willing he, too, might be placed

INTERVIEW MAS GENUINE
Representative Psyne's Endeavor to Discredit
The Stars Statement.
The Talk Wa. with a Republican
who Supported Porto Ricnn
TarlH Bill.

Mr.. Payne of New York took occasion in
the House Saturday to declare that the in
terview IN The Star Friday with republic
can member OF the House. on the subject of
campaign contributions and the Porto Rican
tariff bill, was false.
The interview was incorporated as a part
of the remarks of a member, and Mr.. Payne
then said that the Statement on it's face
reported to have been made by some gentle
man on this side of the House is manifestly
false"
He appeared to want to imply that the in
terview had been falsely attributed to a
republican member Of the House, though
his language was obscure on that point.
The interview was had. as reported in The
Star Friday, with a republican member OF
the House who supported the Porto Rican
tariff bill with his vote. 1t was written a
very short time after the conversation be-
tween the representative and The Star re-
porter closed. This fact can be supported
by the oath of the man who wrote the in
terview, who is perfectly willing to take
oath to 1t.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Opinions of General Interest Handed

The United States Supreme Court today
decided the case of the Houston and Texas
Central Railroad Company VS.. the State
of Texas. The case involved the validity
of payments made in state warrants issued
during the civil war.
Justice Peckham held that the payments
in state warrants were legal and proper;
that the warrants were not issued in Vio-
iation of the Constitution, and the state
had a right to receive them as money. The
case involves about 81, 100000.
The Supreme Court reversed the decision
of the court of private land claims in the
case of the Lama land grant in Taos coun-
ty, New Mexico. The land court confirmed
the grant, but the opinion handed down
today held that the grant was not valid,
and, therefore, reversed the action of the
lower court.
The Supreme Court, through Justice
Shiras, decided the case Of the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company VS.. the Lake
Street Elevated Railroad Company OF Chi
cago The case involves the mortgage in
debtedness Of the railroad company amount
ing to s7,754 600. Justice Shiras held that
the state courts erred and accordingly their
Judgment was reversed and the case re-
manded to the state supreme court for fur
ther proceedings not inconsistent with to-
days opinion.

GREATER SAFETY FOR BANKS
Remedy Proposed for an Evil of Long
Standing.
Prohibition of Loans to Officers and
Employees Except on Approval
of Directors.

Chairman Brosius of the House commit
tee on banking and currency today SUBJ
mitted the report on the bill to give greater
safety to national banks by restricting the
making of loans and overdrafts to bank
officers. The report says:
This bill proposes the only possible REM
cay for an evil of long standing I'm our
banking system, evil which is largely
responsible for the chief blemish upon an
otherwise most admirable system.
From the establishment of the national
banking system in 1865 to October 81,
1896, 800 national banks failed The fall
ure in the case of fifty-two of these banks,
as reported, was caused in part at least
by excessive loans to officers and direct
ors, while ninety-three of them were
wrecked by the defalcation of officers and
fraudulent management-a total in the two
classes OF 145, or about Al per cent of the
total
1.-The present controller recommends leg
islation prohibiting loans to officers and
employees OF banks. except upon applica-
ton to and approval by the board of d.
rectors, and he adds: Such prohibition
should be made to include directors
These recommendations from the high
est official sources leave nothing 10 be
said to convince your committee of the
necessity of the proposed legislation. The
chief objection urged to this measure Is
that capable men will not serve as Off
GERS and directors if they are placed under
the restriction which it imposes
In answer to this suggestion it may be
said that if a man wishes to become an
officer or director of bank for the pur-
pose of becoming a borrower he would not
be the most suitable person to become n
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.
Legitimate 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 hinder
ing secure and proper ones. Nor does the
measure reflect upon the character or in
tegrity of bankers. As a class they are
among our most reputable and enterprisins
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 controller, which reveal the amount of
loans made to officers and directors, to be
published in a newspaper, required in
the case Of reports on the general condition
of the banks. The trifing Inconvenience to
which officers and directors may be SUBJ
jugated by the operation of the measure is
not to be weighed against its manifest use
fuiness to banks and the public, by safe
guarding the interests of stockholders and
depositors."
