Paris. Oct. i5.-The attempt Of the
Count de la Vaulex TO cross the Medit-
erranean in a balloon, which left Les
sablette, near Toulon, Saturday night
has failed The minister Of marine, NJ.

er Du Chayla, which was escorting the
balloon. Is returning to port with the
balloon and her passengers which she
picked up ten miles east OF 81. Laur-
ent lighthouse. The balloon was unln-
jured. The result OF the experiment did
not cause any surprise after the news
brought TO Marseilles by incoming
steamers this morning that the south
east winds which were blowing out al
sea would carry the balloon to the coast
OF Spain or TO Gibraltar. Moreover,
the latest news from the passengers of
the balloon indicated that II was pro-
ceedlng very slowly These two fac
tors probably caused Count de Ia Vau-
lex TO abandon his attempt.

adapted TO our needs and our banking
system, is one OF the living Issues Of the
DAY and viii so continue until II has
been intelligently solved"
Mr.. Frank w. Tracy, chairman Of the
committee on uniform laws, submitted
Its report.
II sets forth that the negotiable instru-
ment law had been considered In many
legislatures last winter, but was sue
cessful In only one state-Pennsyl-
vania. The lawyers from the smaller
towns are opposing II, as one of them
said, because II would probably take
away my bread and butter" The law
has been adopted In seventeen states
and the committee recommended that
the work Of educating the people be
continued.

the committee on internal revenue tax
alton, appointed for the purpose OF
having q reduction made In internal

results accomplished.

committee on bureau OF education. the
substance OF which was an endorse
ment OF the correspondence school Of
the American Institute OF Banking
Clerks.
Mr. A. c. Anderson, chairman OF the
committee on fidelity insurance, sub
mitted the report of that committee.
II was state that q standard form OF
bond has been provided and nine insur-
ance companies were now prepared o
furnish It. The report contained the
following:
Numerous and heavy as were the
defalcations for the year 1900, yet Tor
each bonded man that strayed from the
path OF rectitude there were over 300
that remained faithful. II Is 10 be not
ed that the heavy defalcations last
year were mostly by men not covered
by surety bond.
without intlmating that the compan-
les do not as rule pay their losses, we
regret TO report that. during the year
1900, 81 per cent OF the losses reported
to us were resisted, contested or other
wise unpaid by the companies who had
accepted the premiums, and issued
therefor something that was called nd

Mr.. r. A. Hayes, the chairman, held
the report OF the committee on taxa
ton Of express companies The COM
mittee stated that they were unable
to report any substantial progress as
the result Of Its efforts 10 compel the
express companies and their numerous
agencies TO pay a license tax for the
privilege OF conducting a banking and
brokerage business"
The principal object In the way has
been the opinion Of the attorney gen
eral holding that the express compsn-
les are not transacting either bank
ing or brokerage business within the
meaning OF the war revenue law.
The committee recommended action
with a view OF arranging for a suit TO
be brought which may II necessary. be
