RAILROAD LOBBY ~ ALBANY.
Trying TO Defeat Bin Fixing the standard
Of Bonds for SaNtnEs banks.


Of Bonds for savings Banks.
ALBANY, April IA powerful railroad
lobby is operating in the State Senate to
defeat a general bill desired by the State
Savings Bank Association, which fixes
standard as TO the quality Of municipal
and railroad bonds in which trust funds
and savings banks deposits may be invested.
Heretofore these classes of bonds have be-
come legal investments for those two finan-
cial institutions only through special legis-
latiye enac tnent naming the bonds Of the city
or railroad which sought to he included in
this investment list.
The general bill desired by the savings
banks was introduced by Assemblyman
j, T. Smith, and il passed the Assembly
after a hard fight. Then IL went 20 the SEN
ate Committee on Banks where il was
amended by providing that the bonds Of
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad
might be invested in by the savings banks
and the trust funds, reported favorably and
ordered 70 a third reading in the Senate
When Gov. Higgins heard Of the amend
ment. viii h was inserted at the request Of
Senator Gardner he said that he would not
sign any such bill.
Then Senator Gardner, TO meet the Gov
ernor's objections, as he thought, had his
original amendment killed and to-day
had the hill amended so as TO reduce the
requirements Of the general standard fixed
10y the hill so ~ to let in the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois Railroad.
Then Senator Bracket took a hand at
amending the bill and had an amendment
adopted striking out the names Of all rail-
road corporations whose bonds hereto
fore have been made legal investment
for savings banks. The Savings Banks
Association thought IL would be unwise
10 leave out the names Of the roads already
leealized az il might depreciate the value
OF many 81 the bonds now held bv the
savings banks But Senator Brackett
thou ght otherwise and insisted that there
should he but one general standard and no
special mention OF any particular railroad.
Then the bill was laid aside pending a con-
ference OF It's friends.

Peacemeal Character of News Excludes Any Accurate Estimate.

Any Accurate Estimate.
 London, April 1S.-The latest news from the Far East shows that certainly portion of the Russian second Pacific squadron was still coaling at Kamranh bay Saturday morning, April 15. This news was brought to Singapore by the British steamer Suisang and to Hong Kong by the French steamer Phuyen. The former merely reported passing the Russian ships at II o'clock in the morning. The Phuyen's officers saw twenty vessels coaling in the bay and it is suspected that the remainder of the fleet was inside the harbor. According to the Daily Mails correspondent at Singapore the, Suisang sighted big French warship two hours later four teen miles to the southward, evidently proceeding to Kamranh bay.
 The piece meal character of the news excludes the possibility of any accu- rate estimate of the movements of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron, but it would seem to show that the vice admiral has divided his forces, por- ton of which went northward before Saturday,. What has happened since then it is impossible to say, and there is no clear evidence even that the Rus sians have been within the three mile limit, which would bring them, accord

 New York, April 1S.After a session at the Hotel Savoy lasting for nearly six hours, aside from short recesses, the two hundred odd managing agents of the Equitable Life Assurance society from all over the United States, adopt ed resolutions late this afternoon asking the New York state legislature to .'ex- ercise it's plenary power by enacting an amendment to the society's charter this amendment to give the policy holders admission to the directorate of the society.
 The resolutions also provided that a committee, consisting of one manager from every state in the union, and one from Canada, together with all the managers in New York city, should be named to visit Governor Higgins and Superintendent of Insurance Hendricks and secure their assistance in getting the legislature to act in the matter. This committee, representing the whole country, will be designated before the agents adjourn
 To-day's sessions were Teplete with developments. Several sets of resolu- tions were adopted. President Alexan- der made brief speech. Vice Presi- dent Hyde followed him, and in the course of his remarks referred to the sale by Vice President Tarbell of the latters interest in the renewal account to the company, which brought forth a sharp retort from Mir. Tarbell.
 Then all three officers left the meet ing and the agents devoted their time to discussion behind closed doors. At $50 tonight the agents adjourned to meet again tomorrow morning.
 The first set of resolutions declared that the agents pledged their unquali- fled support to President Alexander and expressed their entire confidence that the president will continue unfaltering- .ly and finish the work of nlutualiza- tion which he has so courageously be- gum
