ATTACK REFORM BILLS.
Democrats 1ssaH State Banking De-
Dartment Measures.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Albany March 16.-OppositiOn by the Democrats
to the banking reform bills recommended oy ou-
perintendent Clark Williams Of the State Banking
Department broke out tonight when the minority
leader Senator Grady, and Senator Fuller made a
broadside attack on the first of the bills, which
would require the consent of a majority OF the
board of trustees of the bank and the approval OF
the State Superintendent to allow a savings bank
TO hyDothecate its securities in time of financial
trouble Senator Grady declared that this bill was
in the interest of Wall Street. and generally at
tackled the proposition of increasing the power OF
the Superintendent OF Banks.
Senator Fuller asserted that the savings banks
had the right to enforce thirty or sixty day no
tice Of withdrawal of deposits. Senator Hooker
said that during the disturbance three-quar-
of the banks did not avail themselves of the
sixty-day notice. Senator Grady said, in part:
We are making a great big officer out of the
Superintendent Of Banks. The superintendent was
made the officer TO supervise the enforcement of
the banking laws. Instead of being a sentinel to
watch and supervise the enforcement of the bank
ing laws he becomes grand mogul
This is bill which would commend itself to the
VINO sit in Wall Street, because il protects
the market from having securities of the savings
banks thrust them before they ready 10
digest them. In panic they are afflicted with
acute financial SaStritiS.
This is a Wall Street bill. Don't make any mis-
take about it. You have permitted banks to in
vest In bonds which have market value. You
have permitted them TO invest in financial cats
and dogs.
No. | do not mean the bonds of the city OF New
York. The nearest thing that comes into my mind
Just now is the bonds of the Fonda, Goversviile
& .OhnstOwn Railroad. If I the superiu-
tcndent l would lock at the cause of the disease
and stop the investment in unsafe securities.
The bill was laid over until tomorrow because
of the absence. of many Republican members.

 Continuing, NJ. IwoIsky expIained that when Baron Aerenthal. the Ams. Hungarian Minister of Foreign AZ fairs, preached the subject of annexa- ton of Bosnia and Herzegovina. he informed him that Russia considered impossible any modification of inc treaty of Berlin without the assent of the signatories.

ro Reyi.e RerIln Treaty.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 7-Turkey has fallen into line with the Russian pro- posal to convene a congress of tho powers for a general revision of the Berlin treaty. which 1t Is believed here, will ultimately be accepted by all tho signatory powers. ..-.
 To Turkey really belongs the form al initiative of the congress, since Tn her note of protest against the Bulgar- ian declaration of independence, which the Turkish Ambassador transmitted to H. Tcharykoff, the Acting Foreign Minister, this afternoon, the porte ap- peals to the powers in the interest of peace to use their efforts ''to restore order" in the rebellious provinces. and suggests a conference as.>a suitable means to that end. Turkey being un- willing to resort to the sword.
 Pour parlers with regard to the Russian invitation to hold congress are still in progress.
 The circular note with regard to this will not be issued at present but will be deferred until all the powers have signified their intention to accept. Aus tria-Hungary still maintains that she will not submit the question of the annexation to the powers for adjudica- ton, but the opinion Is held In Russian official circles that she Is simply wait ing for terms, the Austrian representa- tives seemingly viewing the congress as a practical certainty.
 The response of France and Italy are considered favorable. and 1t is be- lieved that Great Britain's objections to the conference, although serious, are not unsurmountable.
