NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Bo soon as Eckels, tho Democratic
Comptrollerof Currency, assumes hisdu
ties, Secretary Carlisle intends to reor
ganize the system of examining national
banks. . He desires to prevent such dis
honesty as was shown in the affairs of
tlie banks which recently failed in Bos
ton, Philadelphia and Nashville, and for
that purpose after retlistricting the bsnks
so as to equalize the examiners' work he
will ask Congress to enact a law giving
the examiners more power in looking
out for tlio perpetrators of frauds.
Tho abstract " C " reports made to the
Comptroller of the Currency, showing
the condition of all national banks in
tlie United States at the time of the last
cull, Monday, March 0, have been pre
pared at the Treasury Department. The
aggregate resources were $3,4511,721,223.
Jit tins connection it is interesting to
note that the gold coin held aggregates
IliW.rOTuTi, and tho gold certificates Ht"
030,(100. The loans and discounts have
reached tho enormous sum of 2,133,
000,000. Among the liabilities are cap
ital stock paid in IHIKH.000,000 and indi
vidual deposits 11,751,000,000.

pects to complete the work within one
month from that date. The committee
will go direct to Utah, where it will look
into tho condition of aHairs and then
pass through New Mexico and Arizona.
From these Territories the committee
will return by way of Oklahoma. Short
stops will lie made at the principal cities
in each of the Territories, and the com
mittee will address itself to tho -consideration
of the material development of
the country and the condition of tho peo

Secretary Morton has determined to
devote his energies to furthering the con
sumption of corn in F.uropc. lie invites

facturers of corn products, from whom
lie desires as a preliminary step to obtain
A full statement of the various kinds of
products mailt' horn corn by the manu
facturers in each State, with abrief state
ment as to their characteristics and ex
cellence. Agent Mattes of Nebraska will
snon lie in Washington for a conference
as to the carrying on of the work abroad.
Among other' things Mattes will be in
structed to investigate the tobacco laws
in force in European countries, known
generally as " Iiegi." with a view ol as
certaining whether it is not possible to
secure a freer market for tho sale of
American tobacco in .foreign countries.
Mattes will also investigate the subject
of the sale of meat products in Germany
and France ascertain whether this trade
is not seriously impeded in spite of the
withdrawal of the restrictions on our in
spected meat products by those coun
tries by local and municipal regulations.
The ninth annual report of the Civil
Servh-e Commission was issued the other
lay. The Commissioners urge that the
classified service should be extended aa
rapidly as practicable to cover every po
sition 'in the public service to which itcan
lie appropriately applied. Theyernest
lv desire that some such bill as that in
troduced in tho last Congress to take
fourth-class postmasters out of politics
tnav become a law. The report contin
ues: " Ultimately the system ol pro
motions in the departments must come
under the immediate supervision of tlie
commission in order to secure uniform
ity and tho liest results. Very serious
harm in our judgment results from al
lowing the chiefs of divisions to be ex
empted from examination, and we think
they should be put under tlie general
rule and be appointed by promotion
within the service." The report shows
