The signatories were Lord Chief
Justice Alverstone and Senator Lodge,

stituted a majority and ensured
finality.
Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette, carried
their outspoken disapproval of the de-
cision to the point of refusing to sign
even that section of the decision giving
the Portland canal to Canada and en-
phasized their attitude by walking out
of the room in the foreign Office before
the signature Of the others had been
affixed to the historic document, which
has already been printed and is ready

The only thing remaining to be done
at this session is that a ma ajority OF

There Was a Financial Crash
in Baltimore
GAME WITHOUT WARNING
Two Trust Companies Overladen
With Securities Go to the Wall.
Great Anxiety in Financial Circles
for the Future.

Baltimore, Md! Oct. 19.-This has
subdued anxiety in the financial and
business circles of Baltimore. Luckily
a dozen reports we'll calculated TO
start q Wholesale run on the banks did
not reach the great army of deposi-
tors throughout the city, thus giving
ample time for conservative leaders
OF business to allay popular apprehen-
SIGN before it reached dangerous pro-
portions.
The day began with the announce
ment of the failure of the Maryland
Trust company. and except to a few
the news came as a bolt out of the
sky, spreading CONSERVATION in all di-
rections.
To these few it was known that the
trust company had long been strug-
Cling with ''undigested securities,
that it had sustained heavy with
drawaIs of deposits and that, finally.
on Saturday last ii had failed in its
efforts to negotiate a s2,o00,000 loan in
London.
The suspension Of the Union Trust
company which happened at a late
hour in the day, gave an impetus to
many baseless rumOrs as to other fl
nanciaI institutions, which might we'll
have created a panic had they been
given currency early in the day.
1t was agreed among leaders and 50
given out that there is nothing alarm
ing in the general financial situation in
this city and that the mere fact that
temporary difficulties overlook one or
two concerns is no reason why the
ether institutions should be regarded
with suspicion.
One of the most prominent bankers
in Baltimore said:
1T all depends on how the people o.
Baltimore act. If they don't lose their
heads the trouble will blow over in
time and nobody will be hurt: but if
they become panic stricken the con-
sequences will be serious. This is a
time for calm judgment"
Allan McLane, third vice president
OF the Maryland Trust company, was
appointed to take charge of the affairs
of that company. Miles White. jr.,
first vice president of the Union Trust
company. was appointed receiver OF
thatt> institution. Mr.. McLane gave
bond in the sum of s2,OOO,0OO and Mr..
White gave bond in the sum of $1,000
900. The last statement of the Mary
lard Trust company. issued on June
80, 1903, showed capital stock of ST.,
125, 5,OO0 a surplus of 2.437, 500 and undi-
vided profits of S677, 1856. The COM
pany has demand and time deposits
amounting to $5.773,S17.15. The Union
Trust company had deposits amount
ing to nearly 1000, 600.
