Dec 1C A fight to a finish is now on between the attorney general of Missouri and the St. Louis Trust company , the- Union Trust company , the Lincoln Trust company and the Mississippi Volley Trust company of St Louis. Some time ago the attorney general applied to the supreme court for a writ of quo warranto to deter mine -what right , if any. the trust com panies involved had to do a banking busi ness , the ultimate object "being to deprive them of their charters. Judge George A. Madlllof the Union Trust company in giv ing his testimony Raid that It the views held by Attorney General Crow were endorsed by the supreme court the trust companies could not remain in business. The attorney gen eral holds that all the truot companies named arc violating the law in doing what he terms a general banking business ao well as busloees of a trust company under a char- teer from the state to do the hufclneee of a trust company alone , A law wae enacted In 1885 prohibiting trust companies from doing the general buslncus of a lacking ee- tablb-hment and this is the basis of the present prose > cutlcn. of n MAR3HAULTOWN. la. .

At the afternoon session Secretary George McAreny verbally submitted his annual re port , showing that President McKlnley had consistently observed the civil service law. hut that a determined OTGEUH was befog made against civil sen-ice laws in congress The secretary reported that many republicans in congress wanted to force the president to disjegard civil service- rules or deprive him of his power. A letter had been nddrjused to Congressman Grosvenor answering the barges which he had recently made. The ecretary recommended tbe extension of the Ivil seniie rules to the CongreBsl nal 1 brnry and tbe Census bureau. The fourth claut iretmasters will probably be reached by con solidation with other postal aEairs. Under he secret examinations the present admlnis- ration had changed Gl per cent of the con sular system. Referring to the work by tatsi. the secretary said that it was the gen eral opinion that "the black civil service aw" In New York would be repealed , as it was considered a failure in operation. Clinton B. Woodruff of Philadelphia re- lorted that the work of the league In Penn- ; ylvanla had been futile owing to Senator Quay controlling the legislature , which ig nored all the pledges of the republican state convention for civil service reform. So far as aroused public sentiment 1s concerned. Mr. Woodruff said , civil SErx'iee reform was n a moro hopeful condition now than ever. A. R. Verdier of St. Louis reported same iroress in Missouri , and that the next It * , slature would be petitioned largely for a civil fcervlce law for St. Louis. John W. Ela of Chicago reviewed the ad ministrations of Mayors Swift and HarrlEDn. The real test of the Illinois civil cervice law comes now under Mayor Harrison. Owing to : echuical points against the appointees of Mayor Swift , changes are being made rapidly. Thn commissioners on boards of 'Mayor Harri son are not favorable to the law , but Mayor Harrison has pledged himself to Its cupport There are cases now pending to test the Illi nois civil sen-ice law in the courts and it Is generally believed that its constitutionality will be sustained. "When the law passes the test of the supreme court it is believed that it will be enforced and that municipal civil service reform will lie In force in Chicago. Shermco F. Rogers of Buffalo reported oa the failure of civil service in the state , and on its cuccrss in Buffalo , where the munic ipal civil cervice commission had the loyal support of their mayor. Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore reported 02 the recent experience in Maryland of c popular vote for civil service reform Tbt nmendineEt wis not submitted in sincerity , not supported hincerely end of course de- Scated by those who professed sympathj for it. The case was cubmitted to the people in Maryland on the local option lew with aboui aU the civil service features omitted. He said tbe vote against Senator Gormaa WSE more of a test on the civil sen-ice reform sentiment than the vote on the amendment Rev. W. R. Lord reported on the defeat of the civil service bill in tbe last legislature , but it was expected to pa& _ the next lej.E- lature. They aso expected to secure new charters for St. Paul and MioneapsIU with civil bevice provisions therein. P. J. EiSflocE reported on the municipal rcforniE .2 Ws h ngton city expected through congress William Dudley Foulke of Richmond re ported tLat the state institutions of Indlatia were under civil service rules. Tbe asso ciation of Indlera is at work , but has done little in municipal affairs. Mr Foulke opened the discussion on the proposed legis lation la congress affecting civil eervlce. He contlflcrcd the pretest agitation cs the usual cry that Is beard every four years , and that it would reeult in no change General discussions followed on the ex tension of the rucs nceeroary to a complete c'eEclficif.ci. on the need of a classified census ofllce , on tbe further reform of the consular ten-Ice , and on the promotion aid removal orders of the president and depart ment officers.
