RELIEVE TENSION
IN BANK CIRCLES
Clcaring-Ho Affords Relief to
Amount of Two Million
Dollars.
Committee Is Ready toNleet Any
Emergency That May
Arise To-day.

NEW YORK. October 21.--fhe re-
cent tension of the banking community
was to-day considerably relieved, and
the day passed with no adverse de-
velopments OF a serious character, but
with much that was reassuring.
At the same time there was evidence
that GONE OF the banks most affected
by recent events were still in need of
assistance, but the promptness with
which the clearing house accorded 1t
Aid much to aliay further alarm. The
general Improvement was reflected In
the buoyancy of the stock market. and
the steady advance in prices from pre-
vious low lev Ii.
The clearing house was called upon
to meet debit balances of the Mercai,-
tile and New Amsterdam banks to the
extent Of upwards of s2.000.00o of
which the Mercantile owed about $l,-
100000 and the New Amsterdam $780,
600. The debit baiance o the Ma
tional Bank OF North America amount
ed to ss5000o.
While there was said to have been
some discussion between the clearing
house committee and the officers of the
latter bank as to the necessity of CIV
ing it any support, It was not found
necessary to do so.
Situation stu Serious.
The fact that the clearing -house
committee regards the situation as still
serious was shown by the remark of a
member of the committee that the
Mercantile Banks debit balance was
unexpectedly large and disconcerting.'
The committee remained In ses-
sion the greater part of the day dis
cussiisg a general plan of policy with
regard to assisting such banks az

adjourned for the day. James T.. Wood :
ward. president OF the Hanover Ma

Washington, Dec. 17.-Attorney
General Thompson, Of Nebraska, Mon.
day filed in the supreme court of the
United States a petition for a writ of
mandamus compelling United States
Circuit Court Judges William H. Nun.
ger and Thomas c. Munger to remand
to the Nebraska supreme court the
case of the state of Nebraska versus
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad company, which was original.
ly brought in the state supreme court
Ito enjoin the railroad company from
injuring the public by charging for its
intrastate services as a common car.
rier In the state of Nebraska unlawful
rates and from defying Nebraska
officers In discharging their lawful
duties" The case was originally In
stituted in the supreme court of the
state on June 10 last, and In the fol-
lowing July was removed to the
United States circuit court on the Pc
tition of the railroad company under
the law Of 1887 authorizing that court
to exercise jurisdiction in suits be-
tween the citizens of different states
which involve over $4,000. The state
Immediately made an effort to have
the federal courts remand the case on
the ground the state itself was not a
citizen in the sense that that word
was used In the law, but Judges Nun.
ger and Munger sitting as a circuit
court denied the petition on the
ground that the state was not real
party to the case. The state then de.
cided to present the matter to the
federal supreme court as 1t did Mon.
day in the shape of a petition for an
order compelling the United States
circuit court to send the case back to
the state courts.
The law involved in the case Is the
statute enacted by the last legislature
Of Nebraska, establishing a passenger
rate OF two cents per mile, prohibit.
Ing the issuance Of passes and reduc.
Ing certain freight rates to the extent
Of Is per cent of the old rate on in.
trastate business. In his petition to
the supreme court of the United
States Mr.. Thompson says:
AFTER such statutes had gone into
effect and when 1t was the duty OF all
common carriers In Nebraska to obey
said laws, the Chicago, Burlington &
! Quincy railroad disobeyed or threat
ened to violate them and defied the
authority Of the Nebraska state rail
way commission In the enforcement
Of such laws. Prior to the enactment
Of such statutes, the interstate traffic
of the railroad company was prac.
tically without restraint or control
and Its influence was then and is now
so great its capacity so formidable
and its powers for oppression, dis
elimination and extortion so varied
and far-reaching that individual citi-
zens of the state were and are wholly
unable to cope or litigate with it or
protect themselves in controversies
arising from unreasonable and extor-
tomato charges"
Hence the contention that only the
state itself was strong enough to
stand against the company In suit.
