XHJB motrr or ZUAJVSIT. * ThoChinc8o question has developed n now nnd IntorosUne feature. This relates to the right ol Chlnoso to lri\vol across the territory ol thti United fltos , nnd the matter i < bolncr consid ered by Iho secretary of the treasury , 3t nppcnra that the treasury depart ment has boon informed that the Chi nese living in Cuba and Iho West India islands , in going to or coining from their own country , prefer to dose so by way of Now Orleans nnd San Francisco instead of by way of the Isthmus of Panama , and nn upplication has been miido tu allow thorn to go across United States territory , Iho exclusion act being hold not to apply to such cases. This view is sustained by an opinion ot the solicitor of the treasury , who says there is noth ing buta treasury regulation forbidding Chinci > o laborers to land in the United States for any purpose. The mallei1 possesses interest 03 an intornatlonal question , the decision of which will hardly /ail / to have a more or loss important bearing upon our fuluro relations with China. It the denial of the right' of transit by Chl nose , made by the last administra tion , iBVcalllrmcd , thn Chinese govern ment may reasonably bo oxpootod to regard the discrimination against its people as an evidence of n seated hos tility to them which solf-rospoot would compel it to resent , Thu.4 far thnt gov ernment has manifested no disposition to retaliate nn account of the exclusion act , though Chinese merchants 'have done so to the detriment of our com- moreo with China , but a further ovi- dcnco of American aversion to the people - plo of China may niovo the government of that con n try to take notice of the feeling -in a way that might prove of considerable dnmturo to us. The fear that in permitting the Chinese * to pass through our territory some of thorn might stop oil on the way ought , not to weigh against the consideration of giving further QlTonsc to a country with which wo are doing an already oxlonsivo and prolltablo trade , that with adequate olTort and under the conditions of a just international spirit , such as wo show to other countries , may bo increased to ono of the leading and most important parts of our foreign commerce. But this is not the sole consideration. If this country continues to vofuso the Chinese tho.rightof transit they can flnd their way to anrt from their own coun try through Canada. British stoatnurs will take them from the West Indies to Halifax , the Canadian Pacific will'take them to its western terminus , and there they will moot a line of steamers plying to Yokohama and Hong Kong. Thus wo should force a trafllo upon British and Canadian steamship liuea to the loss of our own lines , a policy certainly not to bo approved on business princi ples. Besides , the danger of our get ting some of these Chinese would bo hardly less if they wont through Canada than if they wore al lowed transit through this coun try. The fact is that Chinese are con stantly coming into the "United States from British Columbia nnd Mexico , and no laws or regulations wo can make will wholly exclude them. There would probably not bo in ton years an addition of a hundred Chinamen to the number now , in the country , as the re sult of allowing thorn the right of transit , particularly under the pro posed agreement of the carriers to give bond to deliver the same number ol these passengers at. the outgoing port as wbro received at the incoming port. PUIILIC WORKS. Chairman Balcombe of the board ol public works contributes an interesting chapter on cement. Ho discourses learnedly of their relative worth and value and of the manner in which thoj have stood the test of time in the public works of this city. Ho throws out broad hints that con tractors in the past'hnvo taken care tc use as little of cement as possible in their work ; that they are all sharp shrewd follows , up to all the devices subterfuges aud hohemcs to avoid a full compliance with their contract obliga tions. Now all this and'moro too is as true as gospel , and Chairman Balcombo has t charming way of tolling it in print U the taxpayers and citizens of Omaha. But it is well to remind Chairimir Balcombo that Iho taxpayer is apt to asli himself why these things should bo Why is it that contractors pul ! the nose of the taxpayers ani the board of public works- ant foist inferior work and raatoria upon this city ? Why is it that tn < board in the service of the city , know ing the worthloss'cbaracter of the jobs approves the estimates of thieving con tractors -and accepts their work. The duty of the board of public works ii plain and laid dorni in black and white It has the power to make contracts , i' ' superintends nil public works , it ap points the inspectors , approves the OHti- mates and accepts the work when com' plotod. Now if it turns out that tbo ohuirmar of the board of public works himsol condemns as worthless what is undui his charge , what is the taxpayer U thinlcV Lot the board BOO to it that the bos ! materials and work are given to UK city of Omaha. Lot none but compo tout and honest inspectors bo appointed and lot a tight rein bo hold upon then us wall as on the contractors , This ii what the taxpayer demands. NEW MEXICO will next month olec delegates to a constitutional convontlot to bo hold in September , a d will renew new boioro the next congress hop claim to bo admitted to statehood. There wn a very strong doslro on the pnrt of tin democrats in the last congress to in elude Mexico among the territories t < be clothed with statehood this year , bu they wore unable to show that she wa posbossed o ! the necessary conditions o : population , resourced and matorialjdo velopmont , and consequently adandonot the effort to include New Moxie in the legislature for creating not states. That territory is no bettor ol now , and judging Irom the slow progress gross it has mauo ns compared with tin territories now preparing for statehood It may bo outto ton years , and possibly moro , botofo Now Mexico will bo ready to become n state. The mixed pecula tion of the territory , of which Ameri cana tvro in Iho minority , is a very vital objection , and even were tills not in fho way the resources nnd material develop ment of Now Moxlco are not Bufll- clcnk to support a state. It la not Impossible that congress may consider the expediency ot uniting Now Mexico and Arizona and admitting thorn as a state , but there is not the slightest probability that the former can come into statehood within the next twp years. Tun agricultural bureau has just pub lished n report of the number ot shoou in the United Stales In January , 18SO , as compared with the returns of 18S4. Strange as it may appear , n marked do- cllno is shown in oVor.v group of slates except two. There is u falling off of eight millions in the aggregate number ofshcop for this year. The exception to the general rule occurs in the group of western states west ot the Missis sippi river , including Colorado and Montana , and in the group of four terri tories , Now Mexico , Arizona , Utah and Idaho. Nebraska shows a slight nd- vance ever 1884 , her sheep numbering three hundred and forty-two thousand. But the greatest increase is credited to Montana and Utah , vhorotho oxtr.ioi- dinaty gain of ono million sheep in each of the territories took plnco. Nev ertheless , the showing lor the country is not at all llattering , and indicates that in spite of high protection the wool industry haa declined fully fifteen per cent within the past flvo years. It1 nny ono imagines that the four ter ritories soon to bo clothed with state hood nro to be quietly loft alone to con duct their own political affairs this fall ho is very much mistaken. Both the republicans and the democrats all over the country are taking an unutual in terest in their alTairs and the republi can national committee , as well ns the democratic national committee , are fear ful lest the lambs should stray into the wrong camp. Political orators from both parties will presently invade Da kota , Montana and Washington and make tbo welkin ring. Undoubtedly Montana will bo mtulo the fierce battle ground \vln-ro campaign speakers , Hko Burrow * and Buttervrorlh will meet democrats of like mettle. Both sides agree that Montana will be a close state , and it. will be a feather in the cup of republicans if they can capture the state and inako sure of their majority in the coming FessSon of congress. TituitKiiro evidences that the power ful copper trust id on the point of dis solution. This lathe combination which keeps the price of copper attwolvo coats a pound when It can be laid down in Now York city from the Lake Superior mines at nbout live. At any rate , this would bo a line opportunity to test the ollicacy of the now anti-trust bill of Michig-an , under the laws of which state the copper companies are incor porated , by accelerating.tho movement.

SEBtaA'S ' BANKING LAW , The Attorney Gonornl Explains Its Provisions. RESPONSIBILITY FOR BnANCHES. Ilowr Trust Companion nro Affected Xho Frnnkto Curry Cnso Bnpremo Oonrt City Ncnva niitl Notes , LINCOLN Uunrxn OF inn O\utu HRB , 1 10 3 1 > STIIKET , J. l xtfoi-s , .Ttili' 5.1 At the rcqnost of Iho oxivmlners of tlit batiWng ; ( lopartmont of tlio state , tlio attor ney ( jijnoral to-day Hied Iho following opin ions , placlns n construction on ilio now butiltln lixw. "In nn&\vor to tlio many Inquiries lor r construction of Iho various sections of the new law , T wpuld most respectfully submit for your guidance my views on ths following questions : "Whoro a bank U doing business with the necessary capital nnd has n brunch bank In another locality , and the branch does n deposit - posit business , or buys nnd soils cxohungo , or discounts commercial p.ipor and makes n report to tlio bunk proper every day , such branch bank comes within the law regulat ing banks , mid should bo required to inako the rcirular reports. "Tho banking law was designed as a snfd' guard for the people , and every corporation , firm or Individual that transacts a banking business , by receiving money on deposit , or buys or sells exchange should have a cnsh capital , as provided in section 1 of the act , and make a separate report us required , oth- orwlso great abuse way creep in through such branch banks. "If the business of the town Is sulllclont to require a branch , it Is sufficient to require a rejtort from the branch , nnd I am of the opinion that nil such branch banks should umko the same report ns the parent bank. "In answer to the question asking whether a mortgage and investment comoany thai operates as saving department In connec tion therewith is required to inako n report within the banking law , conditional that such company handles real eslato , makes loans mid deals in commercial paper nnd securities , 3 would say that I ntn of the opinion that nil savings bunks should make the same report required of other banks , ex cept the mnount of capital required. Section , Ifi e.xcopts savings banks from the provis ions of section 1 of the i\ct , and as section 1 requires all hanks to have property of the cash value therein provided , it is not neces sary for savings banks to have such capital , this being the exception ; It is also provided in section 15 that all savings banks must have , in lieu of the capital stated in section 1 , a paid up capital of not less than J12.000. "Then , mj.iiu , this same section provides that under the tm-in savings banks shall bo included only such banks ns do a savings business exclusively , paying out money only on presentation of pass books and certilicatcs of deposit , discounting and buying no com mercial paper. "It will bo necessary for all such com panies to have the required capital as pro vided in section 1 of the banking low. "In answer to Uie question relating to a loan and trust company making the same report us a bank , I would say that where the company does not rscoivo deposits , nor buyer or sell o.xchango , or handle commercial paper , it does not come within the rule und no report is required. "The law requires a report from every coiporutioii , llrm or individual domg n bank ing business. Where a corporation docs tlio business the liability of a stockholder is limited to twice the amount of stock hold by mm , and when an individual owns the bank , no such limited liability exists , became there is no stocic. "Under section 1 of the banking act , the cash value of the property necessary to run a bank must be above all iucurabcinccs , and In excess of all liabilities owing by the cor- pointion , firm or individual , and it will bo readily observed that the statement , whoa made by the corporation , does not Include any assets or liabilities , but those of tlio bank , while if made by a single individual owning a bank , the statement must include his individual assets and liabilities ; he can not set apart a portion of his capital for a bank and not subject the remainder of his property to liabilitvJor thoclebts Incurred by him as a baukor , and I am of the opinion that when a single individual owns a bank , it will be ncccsgnry for him to sot forth hi his re port his total liabilities. "Some objection is made to tbo form of the blntik sent out , but tha law requires that the report must bo made in accordance with the form prescribed by the auditor of state. "As the law was made to protect the pco- nle , it seems to mo that it is the duty of the examiners to ascertain any liabilities that might Bffcot the capital of the bank. "In construing section 1 , relating to the amount of real estate n bank cau carry , I will sav that all batiks in cities of certain population slmll hnvo property of tlio cash value of certain amounts. This property must bo in money or commercial paper , bank furniture and the necessary bank buildings , with the lot or lots on which the same are built nnd of the cash value of the amount re quired , abovu all Incumbrancos thereon , nnd in excess of all liabilities owing by the cor poration , llrm or Individual. "The proviso that real estate , furniture and fixtures shall not constitute more than one-third of the capital , refori alone to the building nnd lot or lots on which it staifds , as above sot forth. 'Tlio ' law contemplates banking with money or commercial paper , and not with real estate , but as ir. is necessary to have a bank building to do business in , und the lot or lots upon which It stands , this exception was made , and one-third of the capital of the bank was allowed fur this purpose , and where the corporation , ; firia or Individual does not own the building and lot or lots on which it stands , then their capital must be in money or commercial paper und can not bo represented by having one-third In other real estate. "Tho language used clearly indicates this ; the words nro "and the necessary buildings and lot or lots , etc. , and as this with the money and commercial paper must repre sent the cash value of the capital , no other real estate must bo included hi the capital.

KEEPER OF THE GREAT SEAL An Official Alioiit Whom Vow I'ooplo Know Anything < xt All , The fact llmi wo Imvo n "lortl clinn- colloror "hooper ot the great seal of tlio United SUxles , " Is probably not gon- ornUj1 known , writes \Vnahlntfton correspondent - respondent of the St. Louis Kopublio. His tuinia Is tlooi'ffo Hurtle , llo wns born In Virginia , tind wna appointed to n clerkship in the stnto tlcparlinout from Virginia by Daniel Webster forty- three yours ngo. Ho is n little , with ered up old man of pleasantly courteous manners , ns befits n Virginia onUotnnn of tbo old school ) but so secretive , partly by nnturo mid partly by the habit acqufr-ett during tlio forty-throe yoara of confidential service , that none ol 1m fellow-clerks venture to aslc hito oven the time or day without presenting him with a written requisition from his su perior ofllcors authorizing him to give the information. Ho has solo charge of the great Eoal of the United Statoj , and the secretary of state himself cannot induce him to unlock the doora which guard that emblem of the country "H lib erties without a formal warrant bigned by the president. When the president , the other night , on his roturu from Capo May , signed the extradition pa pers in the case of Martin Uurko , the siibpool hold in custody in Manitoba , Tor alleged complicity in tlio Cronin mur der , ho was both surprised and amused to llnd that the seal of Iho United States could not bo put upon the pa pers without his signing a formal war rant therefor. Assistant Attorney Baker , who wns sent on from Chicago to carry luicic the extradition papers , desired - sired to leave on the morning train. But ' 'Lord Chancellor" IJartle wna ob- durato. Ho would alllx the seal if the president signed the warrant provided by statute , but not otherwise. Ho pro duced an engraved document reading as follows : _ "I hereby authorize and direct the secretary of state to cause the seal of Iho United States tb bo affixed to - - , dated this day anil signed by mo , and fordoing so thin shall bo his war rant. " As soon ns the president had signed that warrant tlio extradition papers wore completed by the alllxing of the great seal , but not before. Tlio present seal of the United States was midohyTilfu.ny&Co.of Now \'ork , after the design of Mr. Dwightformorly Lbrarian of tlio state department. It is the fourth of the series and is a model of construction and excellence. It de picts tbo American eagle , holding in each claw a sheaf ol thirteen arrows and surmounted by a circular wreath inclos ing thirteen stars , corresponding to the original states and encircled by the motto , "K Pluribns Unum. " It is mounted upon a mtibsivo block , and is so admirably constructed mechanically that the slightest turn of tlio screw will develop - velop all tbo pressure required. The cost was over $1,000. The original seal of the United States is still preserved in the department. It is inartistic in do- sip ; 11 and crude and clumsy in operation. It was superseded by a second sealmoro nearly approaching that now in usobut smaller in size. This , as it wore out , gave way to a , third , Vhich was used for a number of years before the fact was discovered tliat the eagle , by inadvert ence , had been given only seven arrows in its claws , instead of thirteen. This defect has boon remedied in the pres ent seal. The Wliitu Di-ancm In Cliinn. Chinese superstition is illustiatcd by the following story from a native paper at Sie-fu in Kiangsi : "A white dragon was seen April 12. Dragons like water , and it had rained since about the mid dle of March straight , on , pnding that day in a m&st tremendous hail storm , which smashed in the roofs of a good nil many of the country people's huts about nila thai roars. Suddenly a powerful fishy smell became porcnptible , and people coming in from the Holds reported the presence of a huge creature , extending about two mow ( about a third of an acre ) , disporting itself by wriggling and squirming in a pool of water. The next day a few people ventured out to see it. It was quite white , with scales two foot in size , with horned head , oltiwa , 14 and a long tail , just as represented in pictures. The 18th of April line H weather returned and the dragon was gone. " LITTLE MARY OEClUA BRUNOLD HUB JiiHt buon curucl or the ivoi-ut. Kczeina ivcr Burn by thn ( tootorn \vlio iri-ntril Imr.
