Russia's Lack Of Statesmen.
From the Century.

From the IeHtuIy.
AS a matter of fact, there has not been
a statesman of the first class In Russia
since Peter the Great, and none OF the
second class unless Nesselrode and the
first Emperor Nicholas are to be excepted.
To consider Prince Gortchakoff a great
chancellor on account of his elaborate dis
patches is absurd. The noted epgram
regarding him is doubtless just, "Cest un
Narcisse uui Sc mire dams son encrier"
To call him a great statesman, in the
time of Cavour. Bismarck, Lincoln and
Seward is preposterous. Whatever growth
Russia has made In the last forty years
has been mainly In spite of the men who
have posed before the world as her states
men; the atmosphere of Russian autocracy
is fatal to greatness In her public.

Authority to Begin Business.

The bank officials, upon the deposit of the
necessary amount of bonds, together with
the papers that have been executed, will
receive from the controller, if he is salts
fed that the organization has been formed
for legitimate objects, certificate of au-
thority to begin buSiness-in other words, a
charter. The bank is then at liberty to
start work. Upon the filing of the articles
of incorporation and the organization GER
tficate the bank becomes invested with GER
tain powers These are: To adopt and use
corporate seal, to make contracts to have
succession for twenty years, to elect or ap-
point directors and other officers, to pre-
scribe by bylaws not Inconsistent with law,
and various incidental powers.
The bank is given a charter number,
which goes with it through existence, and
in the printing of stationery this should be
on letter heads and other papers There
should be a burglar and fire-proof safe. al
though the law does not attend to these de-
tails, and the controller should be advised
of the date on which the bank begins bust
ness. The remaining installments of the
capital stock must be paid in at the end OF
each succeeding month from the date of the
issuance of the charter. The officers of the
bank must file with the controller certiti-
Gates, sworn to before notary public, that
each installment has been paid in. There
is a legal method for enforcing the pay
ment of subscriptions, but this is seldom
reSorted to,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-10-29

Upon the qualifica ton of the directors by
oath they should elect a president, vice
president cashier and such other officers
as may be required, and call in the sub
scriptions to the stock according to the
terms agreed upon and to the requirements
of the law. One-half of the capital stock
80 per CENTS required in cash before the
organiza ton can be given official life. A
certificate, sworn to by the president or
cashier, must be forwarded to the con-
troller, setting forth that at least half the
capital has been paid in cash. This certifi-
cate may accompany all the other papers
that must go in before a charter is granted.
Besides this and the foregoing requirements
the directors must purchase United States
bonds to deposit. Banks with $150,O00 capt.
tai and less are required to deposit bonds
equal to one-fourth of their capital and
banks having a capital in excess of $3.50, 000
must deposit $4,000 in bonds. No matter
how large the capital stock may be above
100000, even if $5,000,000, the total amount
of bonds to be put up in the hands of the
United States treasurer to be held in trust
is only $4,000. The bonds can be nothing
but interest-bearing obligations of the
United States. No state. municipal or rail-
road bonds will be accepted. AS security
for public deposits Secretary Shaw once ac-
cepted some state, municipal and railroad
bonds, but he soon asked that those be ex-
changed for governments.

When Circulation May Begin.

The deposit of bonds entities the bank to
issue circulation If it desires. Circulation
may be taken out to the par value of the
bonds that are sent to the controller, but
there is no law requiring bank to take out
circulation. All 1t is required to do is to
deposit the amount of bonds called for I'm
proportion to its capital. Compare lively
few banks have never taken out dollar in
circulation. One of these Is a giant bank
in New York with capital stock of 81
10000. 1t has never had printed single
bank note and probably never will do 80,
as 1t is making plenty of money without
this course. The average bank, however,
finds the taking out of circulation profit
able. OF the $3.50 banks now in active ex-
istence only about ten have failed to nave
circulation issued.
The controller of the currency gives
orders for the making of plates for bank
notes at the same time he signs the charter
for a new bank. This order goes to the
note division of the controllers office and
is then transmitted to the bureau of en-
craving and printing. Plates are engraved
for So $I0 $50 and 500 notes, and the cost
of the engraving must be paid for by the
new bank. The officials of the bank in
form the controller what denominations
they desire for their notes. In forty-five
days from the time the charter is granted
the new bank will be in possession OF It's
first notes, and the paying teller can pass
them out of his window the same as gold
certificate. They are just as good, as their
payment is guaranteed to every holder by
the United States bonds deposited to secure
them No bank can issue more than one
third of It's circulation in So notes. While
there is a charge for the engraving of
plates there is no charge for the printing
of circulation.

Warships Arrive.

The monitor Wyoming and the torpedo boat
destroyers Paul Jones and Preble returned to
port yesterday morning after absence of
six months spent between here and Panama
The Wyoming and Paul Jones came to anchor
off Folsom-street wharf. while the Preble pro-
ceeded to the navy yard at Mare Island Here
she will transfer Mldshipmen W. Brown Jr.
and S. NJ Robertson and her crew of seventy
men 20 the destroyer Perry, which is to join
the Wyoming and Paul Jones lying here. These
three will then proceed to Puget Sound to at
tach themselves to the squadron commanded
by Admiral Henry Glass soon that
squadron arrives there. Commander V. L.
Cottman OF the Wyoming states that they ex-
perienced strong winds and heavy seas after
they left Ventura for this port They how
ever came along in good shape and made rea-
sonable time. Commander Cottman states that
they were handsomely entertained on the way
UP especially at Brighton ach.
The officers and crews Of the fleet all par
ticipated in the services Memorial day at
the beach, which were held on the waters of
the bay. Hospitality also lavishly dis
played at Ventura where both the officers
and the crews were entertained by the citizens
who feasted them at barbeques.
The performances at of these three YES
sells have proved eminently satisfactory, ac-
cordng to the reports of the different officers
in command.
Lieutenant 7. c. Fenton is in command of
the Prebe and Lieutenant G. c. Dawson in
command of the Paul Jones.

SHOWS SPEED
ON TRIAL TRIP
Steamer BreakWater Proves
She Will Be Great Acqui-
sitiOn on Coos Bay Route
ARRIVE FROM SOUTH
War Vessels Return in Good
Shape From Panama After
Six Months Spent at Sea
ARRIVE FROM SOUTH

The trial trip of the steamer Break
water, Captain George w. Seaman
took place yesterday morning and
demonstrated that she is up to re-
quirements.
She is admirably adapted to the
Coos Bay trade, on which line she Is
to run. On her spin yesterday she
first ran 10 Hunters Point, where her
new Williamson steering gear was
fully tested. 1t acted admirably. She
then ran over the regular Government
course at California City to test her
speed. She made thirteen knots easily
and when the captain and crew have be-
come acquainted with her she will un-
doubtedly be able to do better than
this. She will be run more or less
as an express boat and should make
the running time between this port
and Coos Bay in from thirty to thirty
six hours.
She was built in 1880 by Roach &
Son for the Old Dominion Line TO run
between New Orleans and Delaware
Breakwater. She is constructed of
heavy iron and. is III much better con-
dition to-day than many vessels built
of steel during the last five years. She
is provided with bilge keels to pre-
vent her from rolling. She has new
auxiliary engines. Since her arrival In
this port she has been overhauled at
great expense. Her engines and ma
chinery have been put in hrst-class
shape and have occasioned favorable
comment of critics in San Francisco.
She is now completely up to date and
will prove a valuable acquisition to
the Spreckels fleet. Her valuation is
about $250.000. Her appointments are
as complete as any first-claSS ocean
going steamer. She is fitted with elec-
trio lights. Her upholstering is of rich
crimson plush and leather and her
woodwork is of rare old mahogany
and maple. She has fine cabin accom-
modations for forty passengers and
can also take twenty-five second-class
passengers.
She had a fine record on the At
lantic Coast and for years was the fa-
Vorite steamer running out of New
Orleans to Breakwater and other ports.
She will undoubtedly jump into pub
lie favor here at once. She viii start
on her initial trip on the Coos Bay
route on Wednesday, June s, at a. m.
Among those on board yesterday
were: F. S. /Samuels, manager of the
foreign department and Coos Bay line
of the J. D. Spreckels & Bros. Com
pany; E. r. Rock, cashier of the COM
pany; Police Commissioner Josiah
Howell, DIR. Rethers, c. G.. Clinch, A.
c. Diericx, Captain W. S. Manning. su-
perintendent of the Spreckels Tug
boat Company; c. A. Hug, secretary of
the Risdon Iron Works; Herschel
Thomas, A G.. Enslem, +. A. Morris
and n. 1. Higuera.
Bob Moore of the Risdon Iron
Works and party had expected to go
on the trip, but they arrived at the
dock just as the boat had backed into
the stream and only had the satisfac-
ton of looking at the stanch boat
steam up the bay and shout a few
godspeeds.
