PRESIDENT STANLEY
 REPORTS ON BANK
Tells of Progress of Savings Bank Of New Britain

At the annual meeting of the incor- porators Of the Savings Bank of New Britain held yesterday. the report Of President E. N Stanley of the condition Of the bank and its opera ton during the year 1893 was pre- stnted, from which the following eN- tracts were made:
 You have again met here in the annual meeting of this bank, to hear the report of the condition Of the bank and Of it's operation during the year just closed, and to elect dlrrc- tors for the ensuing year Serving as you do without compensation. it Is ulwa~. very gratifying to haNt a larg, attendance Of the iHcorporators upo-> these meetings, thereby mdicat- Ing C.n appreciation of your rcSponsl- biities and an interest in the affairs O. the bank. Meeting but once each year, to the casual thought 1t may appear that this duty is Ot somewhat - perfunctory character and Of no great importance. but as a matter Of fact just the opposite is the case, for in the last analysis if is upon the tncorporators that the control ot and the responsibility for the condpct Of the bank rest. Tn" charter pro- vidcs that the incorporators, first ap- pointed by the legislature of this s;ate shall be self -perpctuatiNs; that their number shall not be less than l5, without other limitation tat present there are 56): that they shall meet annually. on the third Wednesday Of January, and elect from their num- ber the number ot directors ot the bank fixed by the bylaws Cat present this number is l5), who shall serve for one year. These directors elect all the officers and control the policy and management of the bank, They meet regularly once each month throughout the year and can hold special meetings at any time. IL Is, therefore, apparent that it is within the power Of the incorporators at any annual meeting to change the entire mana cement by the election of other directors from their number, which most certainly would be done if the condition and conduct of the bank should at any time be unsatisfactory and nots uch ns to meet their ap- proyal,
 This is & Mutual Savings hank and il has very cosmopolitan organiGa- tion. Its incorporators are men Of all classes. and crceds, and nationaities ---busincss men, professional men, and lahoring men, and are among our most able and influential citizens, and if is well that our more than 2i,onn depositors should be made acquainted with these details ot the organization of their bank and know to whose management they are entrusting the Care and investment Of their funds"

NEWS OF THE TACOMA
Latest Dispatches This Forenoon In-
 dicated That Three Compartments
 Of Standard Cruiser Are Flooded.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The United States cruiser Tacoma, aground on Blanquillas reef off Vera Cruz, has three compartments flooded according to wireless reports from the ship re- ceived today at the navy department.
 Tugs were standing by, it was said, and hopes were entertained that the craft could be drawn into deeper waters as soon as tine heavy seas sub- sided. No fears were felt for the safety of the officers and men aboard.
 The cruiser Richmond probably will be stationed at Vera Cruz to take the place of the Tacoma which had been ordered to that port to act as an emergency communications station to the United States due to the interrup- ion of cable facilities incident to the de la Huerta insurrection.

LONDON, April S0.-The friendly

The only fly in the ointment was
the announcement that the Nc

manufacturers of musical instru.

Leaders of both the labor AMI
liberal parties said they were well

claiming 1t 10 a sign that the lab

them.
The Daily News declared that the

Liberals and Laborites will co.
operate in passing it in the House
OF Commons.
Leaders of the Liberal party meet
this afternoon to decide upon a def

The Tories undoubtedly will OF.
pose the abrogation Of the McKenna

party was decisiyely defeated upon
the tariff issue in the last general
election they may not force the

Madden and Renault Clash
 In New York Bout Tonight

New York, Aug. 11.-Bartley Mad den, New York heavyweight will meet Jack Renault, Canadian heavy weight, in 15-round match at the Greensboro Stadium in Long Island city tonight Although no title is at stake, the winner of the bout will be considered possible candidate for Jack Dempsey's heavyweight crown.
 Renault, who has engaged in 50 fights, during which he was knocked out only once, expects to push Mad den to the limit. The New Yorker bases his hopes of victory on the fact that he never has been kuocked off his feet in 12 years of boxing and has been defeated only by Harry Wills and Charles Weinert.
 A return engagement between Lar ry Estrdge, holder of the negro mid dlcweight championship of the world, and Panama Joe Cans, who lost the title to Estridge at the Milk Fund bouts, will be a secondary feature of tonight's card.
