Open Ka nrsar the depot at Tepllt bay
prevented us from reaching Duke of

tions. In 191, prevented us from establish
ing depots at north of 80 degrees 22 minutes.
In this connection the loss of half of our
dogs necessitated the postponement of going

I believe the record of being farthest
north could have been broken, but It would
have exhausted our supplies and destroyed
the hope of Anally reaching the pole.
Balling Master Johannsen'. demand, to

the opportunity develope.
The general clearing house for the vari

The Corporation Trust company is allied
with another corporation, whose title Is the
Corporation Trust company of Delaware.
The former Institution was tbs first cor
poratlon created under the present cor
poration law. of the state of Delaware.
Parpoae aad Scope.
In regard to the consolidation, W. H
Hunt aald: "The Mexican Trust company
was the first banking Institution to be
organized In the United State, for the exe
cution of sn exclusively foreign business,
It was smong the first American Institu
tions to establish a system of branch banks,
Soon after opening our buslnesa In Mexico
we realized that the banking buslnesa in
that country wss in its infancy, and was
susceptible to development to a remarkable
extent. The condition of our bank at the
end of the first year clearly demonstrated
the practicability and profit of International
banks with New York as a center. The
policy of our bank has been tn thorough
harmony with the financial methods of the
United States and it has conducted Its sys
tern of banka ln Mexico In accord with the
requirement, of that government.
No Longer to Oo Abroad.
"It i. a well known fact that up to very
recently there was almost no banking com
bination between the Latin American fcoun
trtes and the United States, but our manu
facturer. are rapidly developing a Pan-
American trade, although our metbeda have
been hampered by the Inadequacy of Inter
national DanKing arrangements. We are
convinced that New York la to be the tu
ture financial center of the world. It is
preposterous that the settlement of trade
balances between American countries should
continue through the bank, of Europe. The
American banking system must be developed
In foreign countries. It will be our pur
pose to afford a means by which American
manufacturers and exporters may settle
their balance, through bank, pledged to
American Interest., with New York City
as the clearing house. The Increase of our
capital to $10,000,000 will provide means for
the expansion of our business. We shall
expect to do not only a banking buslnesa
but to afford our assistance ln the building
up of those American countries whose nat
ural resources are so well known but hlth
erto have lacked the organised capital nece.
sary for their greatest development."

AST FIRING AT FORT WRIGHT
Hla-glaaoa aad Coghlaa Bring;
rp
Their Fleets and Gaae Make
Lively Exchange.
FISHERS ISLAND. N. Y., Sept. 4. Fort
Wright waa again attacked tonight and It
would appear that Admirals Hlggiason snd
Cogblan have brought their fleets together
for the purpose of silencing. If poralble,
ths guns of the fort, which 1. admitted to
be the most strongly fortified on Long Isl
and sound.
Admiral Hlgginson's maneuver tonight
was an excellent one and brought out the
finest point, of the game of war. He came
down upon the fort. In two sections. The
cruisers were sent ahead with the apparent
purpose of having the fire concentrated upon
them. He then crept up .with his battle
ships snd opened fire with the purpose of
crumbling the fort to pieces.
It was at 10:05 tonight, that a general
alarm rang out over Fort, Wright and all
the troops were called to arms. At that
bour search light No. 6 picked up the cruiser
Brooklyn as It was speeding to the west
ward toward the race. At first It was sup
posed that the cruiser was on it. way to
New York for repairs, but it came so close
to the island that a warning shot was fired,
and to the surprise of the tifflcer it replied
vigorously. This action leads to the belief
that the reported accident to Brooklyn has
been exaggerated by ths Davy officials for
the purpose of throwing .the defenders of
the fort off their guard. ,
The firing had been on but a few moments
when Olympla waa sighted closely following
Brooklyn and It too opened up on the fort
with every available gun. ; After these two
vessels passed through thej race, three bat
tleships were picked up by the searchlight,
and fears that a landing j would be made
caused the officers tq send, a relief with a
gatllng gun down to thej dock, the only
safe place at which a landing bould be made.
The battleships, were soon recognized as
Kearsarge, Massachusetts snd Alabama and
they were proceeding toward the race in the
order named. As they passed the forts
they opened fire. Every gun at Fort Wright
wa. blazing away, and Forts Terry and
Mlchte were also making a, vail ant attempt
to put the Ships out of business. The range
was sbout 4,000 ysrds. The dense smoke,
both from the guns of tho battleships and
torts now enveloped the former. The ships
soon took advantage of . this and scudded
sway through the race. .
At 11:15 the ten-inch lmplscement an
nounced that the ships hsd snchored five
miles oft the Island to the, westward. The
second relief wa. hurriedly recalled five
minutes later. i
At midnight Forts Terry and MIchle were
firing an occs.lonal shot with their long
range gun.. The first shot was fired at 10
o'clock from a ten-inch guta and the order
to cease firing waa given, at 11:15. The
ships were Uiervfuin uuwvi Sm iuv ut fir
for exactly one hour and five minutes. The
six-Inch battery fired 118 shot. .11 told. Tho
ten-inch battery fired thirty-one shot, at
Brooklyn and seven at Olympla. The mor
tars were brought Into play on the battle
ships.
Olympla turned Its searchlight ' on the
range finder's station snd made it Impoesl
hie for the mep stationed there to nse their
telescope. The men on duty are ready at a
moment', notice to man the guns and the
sscond relief la sleeping beside their arm..

ARBITRATION JSJJOT FAVORED
Trade. Union Congress Rejeots
Scheme to Settle Labor
Differences.
LONDON, Sept. 4. At today's session of
the Trades Union congress there was a very
heated discussion of a compulsory arbitra
tion resclutlon Introduced by the Dock,
Wharf and Riverside union.
The resolution was as follows:
In view of the colossal growth of trusts
and combines of speculative capitalists, and
consequent concentration of capital and
monopoly of Industry, this congress fore
sees the grave danger to the nation and
the tollers of dislocation of trade, stoppage
or wora ana distress oi wage-earners.
To avert such s calamity,, this congress
calls upon the legislature to pass an act
creating a supreme court of arbitration, the
court to be presided over by a lord luetics
and to be constituted by an equal nuinner
of workmen and employers representatives
who shall take evidence from the parties
aggrieved or their ruresntatlves. Legal
expert, to bo debarred from acting a. rep
resentatives. Action in all cases to be final.
Conciliation courts for the vartouw In
dustrial centers to be formed to act In
conjunction with the supreme court, and
to be termed district courts. In all ciiers
workmen's representatives to be selected
by trade unions as commissioners or mem
bers of the supreme court. For the effective
dealing with disputes, comminsloners to be
constituted tor the great staple trades, vis:
Mining, textile, transportation, engineering
and agriculture, witn a crown Judge over
each. The courts falllna to settle dlsnutes,
cases are to be submitted to tha supremo
court.
Only unions registered under an act Iden
ttcal with the trades union act. to be elltcl
ble for consideration of courts or supreme
court of arbitration. We therefore Instruct
the parliamentary committee to draft a bill
lor tne purpose atoresaia.
Many of the delegates opposed the resolu
tlon for the reason that under such a sys
tern th. trade, union, would not only lose
many of the advantages they bad wrung
from the employers, but would die of Inanl
tlon, since the need for tbelr service would
no longer exi.t.
The resolution, eventually, was rejected
by sei.000 to 103,000 represented votes.

ONLY BARE WALLS OF BUILDING LEFT
Detail, of Disappearance of Charlea
M. Chamberlain and Disclosure
that Followed Investiga
tion of His Affairs.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
TECUMSEH, Neb.. Sept 4. (Special.)
Poor judgment, recklessness In the invest
ment of funds, then dissipation and finally
embeitlement and disappearance, all on the
part of the trusted cashier and sole man
ager, Charles M. Chamberlain, were the
combined cause, of the financial wreck of
the Chamberlain banking house of thl.
city. A few day. ago thl. wa. supposedly
one of the strongest Institutions In ths
community. The people generally thought
Chamberlain was square and they gave
him their confidence and their money, and
both were manipulated by the shrewd
banker ln a manner which shows now thst
he was s master ln the art of deception.
It Is Impossible tor those now In chsrgs
of the bank to estimate safely what per
centage of the deposit, will be paid. From
all that ha. been learned thus far. how-
ever. It would be conservative to say that
ths bank will not pay over 60 per cent.
The dividend, may amount to a trifle more
than that, but will probably be much le...
Today the Chamberlain banking house
stands about as doe. a building which ha
been gutted by fire. The wall, remain snd
hers and there a pillar or some part ot
the structurs Is found Intact, but ths
greater part of the Interior is literally
cleaned out. The value ot the mass ot
notes left in the bank, showing $80,000 on
their face. Is problematic. In tha pits are
securities that are long past due, some
that hav. been paid off and many that are
worthless.
' People Know Very Little.
Comparatively little I. known by the
people ot Tecum.eh regarding the actual
condition of the bank. T&ey know thai

Chamberlain has disappeared, but as to ths
state ot the fund, they are almost as far
ln ths dark as they were before the failure.
Little crouds of depositors and creditors
gsther at the street corners and In ths
hotels and discuss ths situation, but they
are able merely to surmise snd gues. st
random. Thie morning a rumor went fly
ing wildly through the town that Mr- Blank

from Chamberlain announcing that hs

The former had no foundation la faot snd
the latter is conceded unlikely.
These telegrsms hsvs been received
since the cashier of the bank dlsappearedi

CHAMBERLAIN.
The latter telegram came to Tecum.eh
Tuesday night, but It ws. not at thst time
made public. Some lf Its content, became
known, however, and the newe spread rsp-
ldly that Chamberlain was coming home to
settle all account.. The rumor was revived
this morning, but Is not believed by those
who sre at all cognizant ot the bank's af
fairs. Mr. True, to whom the messages
were directed, is the bookkeeper ot the In
stitution. Other Institution. Closed.
The Chamberlain banking bouse of Vesta
and the Chamberlain banking house of Oraf.
which were owned by the Tecumseh Institu
tion, were closed by order of the Btste Bank
ing board, but it is probabis both will pay an
of their depositors ID full. Ths deposits
In the bank at Oraf amounted to approxi
mately $18,000. Tbe institution naa iib.ouu
ot good note., beside, a depo.lt ot $7,500 ln
the bank here. The socount. ln tbe bank
st Vesta were smaller, but sbout as sscure
ss those In the bank of Graf.
Bank Examiner W. D. Hartwell is tem
porarily ln charge of the Institution here,
pending the appointment ot a receiver. He
1. making a thorough Investigation, but ha.
not yet determined the extent of the loss
that will be austalned through ths manipu
lation of the bank's affair.. New deals
come to the surf see every day and esch
serves to illustrate more plainly the bold
ness ot ths operstor. Mr. Hartwell ex
pects to complete his report within tbe
next few days snd will then submit it to
ths Btsts Banking board at Lincoln, fol
lowing which a receiver will bs appointed.
Cashier Chamberlain departed on Mon
day, August K. leaving not only tbs bank
and his crsdltors, but bis family as well.
Mrs. Chamberlain wss sn Invalid at the
time, and her condition has grown rapidly
worse since ber husband's departure. The
home they occupy Is mortgaged, but It is
generally believed that they wers otherwise
provided for.
When Chamberlain Disappeared.
Chamberlain told the clerk ln tbe bank
that he was off on a little trip to close up
s private deal. Intimating that hs would bs
home in the evening. On Tuesday the clsrk
began sending telegrsms to various places
for Information regarding ths cashier. Hs
directed these to the place, he thought
Chamberlain would most likely vis t. The
cashier evidently learned of the investiga
tion that waa being mads, for on Wednes
day night ths first telegram was received.
The bank bad been running low In cash snd
exchange. The clerk was the sole person
in charge, and bs wss confronted by a se
rious problem. He knew ibcre was not
enough money In the vault to keep the bank
going much longer, but he thought sfter
receiving tbe telegram thst Chamberlain
would dispose of soms of tbs securities on
ths following day Thursday and telegraph
a credit for ths amount of money raised.
He proceeded upon th. theory that Cham
berlain had been unable to dispose of the
securities In Chicago, but that knowing tbs
condition of tbs bank would make the neces
sary negotiation, tbe next day and cenie
promptly to tbs rescue. He knew tbe cash
ier could deposit money ln any sastern
bank, subject to the draft of ths bank hers,
and this Is tbe course he thought Cham
berlain would take. Tbe next day wa. an
uneasy oas for ths clerk ln ths bask. Hs
remained at his post, paying and receiving
