How Senators Vote and Work in Paiys.

To what extent do Senators vote and

story in his Memoirs" that he had in

the Presidents veto of certain river

who was coming up for reelection, was
obliged 10 vote for IL, and so to weaken
the force of what senator Hoar regard
ed as unwarranted criticism of Mr..
Dawes, he joinea IN voting for the bill
with Dawes, although on the merits or
the question absolutely he probably
would not have done so. This is not an
unusual case. when Senators break
from party policy, if they are friendly,
they usually go together.

Reform in Consular Service.

The consular reform bill which
passed the Senate a short time ago
is now the cause of lively interest
in the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs. Although many members
of that committee and of the House
look upon the measure as an en-
croachment on their patronage,
there seems little doubt that this or
similar bill will be passed. The gen
eral public demand for the removal
of the consular service from the do
main of the spokesman is thought TO
be too strong to be disregarded.
As the President declared in his
message to Congress:
Our consular force should be classi-
fed and appointments should be made
10 the several classes with authority
10 the executive 10 assign the members
OF each class to duty at such points as
the interest of the service requires in
stead of the appointments being made
as at present 10 specified posts.
This is, in all its essentials. the
platform upon which Secretary Root
has determined to reorganize and
moderniZe the methods of the State
Department. Board OF trade, cham
bers of commerce, and other organi-
cations of business men throughout
the country are unit behind him.
The New York Board of Trade and
Transportation has called for a ma
tional consular reform convention to
be held in Washington next month
TO devise means of furthering a
cause which is regarded as of vital
concern TO the commercial interests
of the entire country.
That there are many good men in
our present consular service is in no
sense due to the manner in which
the appointmnts to ii have generally
been made Some OF them have had
long service owing to reappoint-
ments. But usually a change of Ad-
ministration has brought about a
general change in the personnel Of
the service, which filled it post haste
with the faithful friends of politi-
cians-Only this and nothing more.
The service naturally contains
more men of doubtful competency.
Men of business ability-the most
essential quality in the service
have avoided consular appointments
because the tenure of office is in
secure and the chances of promotion
slight, unless the consul can get
home from time to time to do a little
wire pulling. In the British service,
although the salaries are not large.
the method of selection is rational.
the tenure of office is permanent.
and the chances of promotion are
good. 1t is generally admitted that
the British cOnsuls are superior to
their American colleagues.
Many of our public oficia Is at
home are selected from the Civil
Service lists. or after they have pass
ed some other examination. although
they work directly under the ewes
of the public and under the super
vision of their administrative chiefs.
Yet the spoils system has reigned
supreme and still will reign supreme
unless this bill becomes law. in the
selection of officials who are sent to
foreign lands, beyond the immediate
of the State Department.
there TO represent the commercial
interests of the country, to guard
markets, to capture new
ones, to keep this country posted on
foreign commercial conditions, and
above all to be dignified and busi-
nesslike representatives of the
United States OF America.

Chicago, Aug. S.-The Milwaukee Av-
enue State bank, the largest outside
the downtown district, today closed its
doors. following a run on the institu-
ton.
Henry w. Herring, cashier of the
bank, is missing. and a warrant charg-
ing embezzlemcnt has been sworn out
against him.
State ank Examiner Jones issued a
statement to the effect that the where
abouts of the three officers of the bank
are nknow to him and that the bank
is without an official head.
The first intimation of trouble was
the appe;&rance at the bank of twenty
policemen, who had been dispatched to
prevent anticipated disorders, the po-
lice department. having been notified
officially that one of the officers of the
bank had abSconded.
Run Amounts to Riot.
The suspicion OF the depositors was
aroused by sight of policemen stationed
in front of the bank, anG. in a short
time large numbers of those who had
money in the bank appeared and de-
manded their deposits. At one time the
run assumed the proportions of a riot.
but the turbulent crowd was finally
quelled by the police.
News of the suspension spread RAP
idly and soon several smaller banks in
the vicinity were besieged by deposit
ors.
The Milwaukee Avenae State bank
was organized in 1890 by Paul o. Stems
land who is president of the institution.
The capital stock of the bank is $3.50, 900;
surplus given at S25o,0oo. Deposits are
said TO be in the neighborhood of
So. 600, 900. the large part of which, it is
said. is the earnings of working people.
Stensland is in Europe.
$1,000 Are Losers.
President Stensland it is said is at
present in St. Paul. Mimi, where he
went for u vacation.
Reports We're general that the alleged
dc%falcation WOULD reach 100000 or more.
1T is alleged one of the officials of the
institution has been gambling on horse
races. 1t is said the list of deposito:s
includes nearly $4,000 persons.
