MIR. Harahan siid:
Mr.. Fish must know that this statement

Illinois Central were on deposit with the
Trust Company OF the Republic the Trust
Company was to Mr.. Fish's own knowledge
in a failing condition and the banking
superintendent threatened to close it's doors,
and its actual failure was only prevented
through the action OF a number of New York
bankers who organised a syndicate to help
out h trust company by taking the United
States Shspbuilding securities on its hands.
Mr.. Fish was a member Of that syndicate,
but whereas the other subscribers put up
their own money Mr.. Fish borrowed from

BANK STATEMENT MUCH BETTER.
Reserves Increased by 30. sss ,Osg and
LOans Reduced.

The associated banks made a much more
favorable report yesterday han had been
expected in view Of the decline in the pre-
MUM on currency, the supply Of q moderate
mOun of funds for the time money market
and the great increase Of business on the
Stock Exchange with the accompanying
expansion Of call loans. The banks re-
ported a replenishment Of reserves to the
extent Of Se.770.O7S. redacing the deficit
in b reserve TO 1870 $50. Thus the
money situation in the week had improved
to such an extent hat demands for money
were met TO a greater extent than in
previous weeks and for the first time since
tpe panic began the banks were able to
report a large decrease in the reserve deficit.
Another very favorable feature was
a decrease of ell. 8e2, 900 in loans. Cash
holdings increased S4,87l 900. and there
was shown al increase OF So, 52s. 600 in cir
culation. United States deposits also in

Three Passenger Associations Operating
Beyond the Mississippi 90 COnSOlIIotc.
CHICAGO. Dec. The three passenger
associations covering all the territory west
OF the Mississippi River, the Western.
Southwestern and Transcon;inental. are to
be consolidated. Definite steps with this end
in view were taken to-day when Eben f.
Mcleod. chairman Of the Western Passenger
Association. issued a call fora mass meeting
Of Representatives from all the Interested
roads on December IL. The territories
served by the associations overlap one
another to such an extent that for action
in n the concurrence Of the others must
be secured. This makes the organizations
interdependent. although they are pre-
sumed 20 be separate and distinct.
Before the passage of the law relative
to the fling OF tariffs and fixing the E.unish-
ment for violations OF these schedules
the three associations were needed. The
new law has stopped this. No new tariff
can become effective now until il has been
on Tile with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission thirty days. Inc with none of the
roads daring TO cut rates secretly there is
little or no friction.

told him that there would be further in

to be rearrested and hat he ought to look
out for himself.
Inquiries made after Mr.. Maxwell had
killed himself. according to Mrs. Maxwell,
disclosed the fact that the message did not
come from MIR. Oeland's Office. In Mrs.
Maxwell's opinion it was evidently the work
Of some enemy who wanted to harass her
husband.
But what seemed to worry Mr.. Maxwell
most was that he would be Obliged TO give
testimony that would implicate his friends.

he had received the message, Il don't
