 @nEafnnerse

Baltimore, Md. July I.--Ths banking and brokerage house of McKfm 6 Co. 522 Park Avenue. this city was placed in the hands of Charles Norris Howard as receiver today. Mr. Howard said he could not as yet give any figures an to liabilities etc.
 Mir. Morris gave bonds for ese0.000l which would seem to indicate that the liabilities were half the amount with drawals of deposits and poor business coupled with the desire Of Rollins Me Kim, the chief partner. who is getting along in years. to relire from active business, vera given as the reason for the action. Receiver Howard issued a statement in which he said:
 Tt was deemed wise to wind up the business and thia was considered the best way to do isi The move was not an antagonistic one. but was made by the firms associates and with the full consent of Mir Rollins McKfm. It is his capital that IS really involved. In addition to the depressed conditions now prevalent In the financial world this bank had the handicap of having q large part of it's capital locked up in real estate. This Kind of capital Is, Of course. not readily available. Some of it is very valuable, and 1t ls hoped that it soon can be marketed. and that the affairs of the concern can be speed fly lIquidated.S
 The house was established in 1852. It gs composed at present of Rollins McKin E. A. BetswQrth and 8. Sterrot McKtm.
 The assignment of the firm created considerable sentiment because of its old established character. but in bank ing circles 1t was not regarded as showing weakness in any other quar- ter. The concern has not. embarked In any large new enterprises for sev- aral years, it was said.

JAP QUESTION sETrIED.
There Was No Discrimination Against

There Was No Dsscrimiaation Againnt
 Them as . Race.
 Washingtons July 1.-The fact that there Is no apparent disertmtnation, as a race. against the Japanese who filed application in San Francisco to es- tablisss intelligence of1ces and who were refused this privilege. has been received with evident satisfaction by the officials of the embassy here and they say this being the case. there is nothing for them to do nor have they any comment to make.
 A dispatch has been received at the embassy from the Japanese consular representative in San Francisco which after saying that the application from the Japanese to conduct intelligence or- fices had been refused. conveyed the information that they had not been entertained because the police commits sieners had decided to permit such es- tablishnents 10 be conducted only by American citizens.
 This, in the opinion of the officials here, seems to put an end to any com troversy over the matter as naturally Japanese cannot have any complaint so long as there is no discrimination against her citizens in favor of any other foreign nationality.

 Washington. July I.--In refusing some of the prayers in behalf of former Associate statistician Holmes, of the Department of Agriculture. for certain instructions to the jury in his trial on the charge of betraying the secrets Of the department, Judge stafford today took occasion to say that he would in- struct the jury to the effect that Holmes should have produced Freder- iclx A.

 He said the fact that the two men are themselves under indictment. would not preclude the possibility of their appearance. They were the two persons in all the world who could testify whether or not the charge or conspiracy was true. If the charge was not true and Holmes statement was founded on fact. they would not Imperii their own freedom in appear ing in court and corroboratinE Holmes testimony.
