B. Ceas-Ta Salable Address Sea ease at Carre svcjr RcIwm. BALTIMORE. Oct. 10.

President M. M. White of Cincinnati rapped the twentieth Annual session of the American Bankers' Convention to order to-day with a gavel nail of wood taken from one of the thirteen cum tree planted by Alexander Hun-lltotv. the first Secretary of the Treasury, on Washington Heights. New-York.

The chief business of the convention will be to consider the subject of currency reform, which will be launched to-morrow, when the proposed amendments to the National Banking act are to be submitted by the bankers of Baltimore. The paper in question was prepared, under the direction of. the Baltimore Clearing' House Association, at the request of bank men and financiers of New-York and elsewhere. It is as follows: Section 1. The provision of the National Banking art requiring the deposit of bonds to seeure Circulating notes hereafter Issued shall be repealed.

c. 2. Allow the to issue circulating Bota to the amount of fiu per centum of tnelr paid-up, unimpaired capital, subject to a tax of one-half of 1 per centum per annum upon the a-erace amount of circulation outstanding for the year, and an additional circulation of 13 per centum of tnelr paid up. unimpaired subject both to the tax of one-balf of 1 per centum per annum and to an additional heavy tax per annum upon the average amount of such circulation outstanding fur the year; said additional 25 percent am to be known as emergency circulation." X. The tax of one-half of 1 percentum per annum upon the average amount of circulation outstandlnc shall be paid to the Treasurer of the I nited States as a means uf revenue, out of which the expenses of the ofllce of the Controller of the Currency, tbe printing of circulation notes, Va, shall be defrayed, a he excess over one-half of 1 percentum of the tax Imposed upon the emergency circulation shall be paid into the guarantee fund." referred to in 8ectlon 6.

The banks issuing circulation shall de- rH and maintain with the Treasurer of tbe nited States a redemption fund equal to percentum of their average outstanding circulation, as provided for under the existing law. Sec. 6. The redemption of the notes of all hanks, solvent or insolvent, to be made, as provided for by the existing law. Create a guarantee fund through the deposit by each bank of 2 percentum upon the amount of circulation received the first year.

Thereafter Impose a tax of one-balf of 1 percentum upon the average amount of outstanding circulation, the same to-be paid Into this fund until It shall equal ft percentum of the entire circulation outstanding, when the collection of such shall be suspended, to be resumed whenever the Controller of the Currency, shall deem It necessary. The Botes of insolvent banks shall be redeemed by tile Treasurer of the United States out of tbe guarantee fund. If It shall be sufficient, and if not sumclcai, -thea out of any money In the Treasury, the same to be reimbursed to the Treasury out of the guarantee fund, when replenished, cither from the assets of Use failed banks or from the tax aforesaid. National banking associations organised after this plan shall have gone into operation may receive circulation from the Controller of the Currency, upon paying into the guarantee fund a sum bearing the ratio to the circulation applied for and allowed that the guarantee fund beers to the total circulation outstanding, and to be subject to tbe tax of one-half of 1 percentum per annum, as called for by the Treasurer of the United Stales for the cieatlon and maintenance of this fund. No association or individual shall have any claim upon any part of the money in sali guarantee fund," except for the redemption of the circulating notes of any Insolvent national banking association.

-Any surplus or residue of said guarantee fund which may be hereafter ascertained or determined by law shall inure to the benefit of the United -States. Sec. T. The Government shall have a prior letn upon the saws of esch failed bank sid upon the liability of shareholders for the purpose of restoring the amount withdrawn from the guarantee fund for the redemption of its circulation, not to exceed, however, the amount of the failed bank's outstanding circulation after deducting the sum to its credit in tbe redemption fund (Section already In tbe hands of the Treasurer of the United States. Sec.

8. Circulation can be mired bv a bank at any time upon depositing with the treasurer of tbe tState lawful money in amount equal to the sum desired to be withdrawn, and. Immediately upon such dpoalt, tbe tax Indicated in tactions 2. 8. and tt shall cease upon the circulation so retired.

tec. I. In tbe event of the winding up of tbe lustnee of a hank by reason of Insolvency or otherwise, the Treasurer of the United States, with the occurrence of the Controller -of the Currency, may, on the aDDlicatl.es of thm rn- rectors. or of the liquidator, receiver, assignee or other proper official, and upon being satisfied that proper arrangements have been made for the payment of the notes of the bank end any tax due thereon, pay over to such Directors, liquidator, receiver, assignee, or other proper official, the amount at the credit of tbe bank In the redemption fund indicated In Section 4. The Rev; Maltbie D.

Babcock. of Brown Memorial Church opened the proceedings to-day with an earnest prayer. Mayor Latrobe welcomed tbe delegates on behalf of the city. In the absence of Gov. Brown, John P.

Poe, Attorney General of Maryland, delivered an address of welcome. He was followed by Enoch Pratt, Chairman of tho Baltimore Clearing- House. President "White responded' to the addresses of welcome, thanking the Baltl-moreana for their cordial reception. He said: la calling your attention to the business that he prjsented for your consideration at this convention. I deem it proper to refer to the fact that recently the industries of this great Commonwealth have been greatly relieved by the settlement of the tariff question after the prolonged and vexatious legislation with which you ail are familiar.

It is a potent fact that the banking fraternity coming In daily contact with those whose Interests and occupation were most affected, has wielded a benign Influence, stimulating and encouraging all. and ere long the fires of tbe forge and the click of the hammer will Illuminate and resound through the land. The reports of the Treasurer. Secretary, and standing Protective Committees were read and pot on file. Col.

Myron T. Herrick. President of a Cleveland (Ohio) saving bank, which "has a longer line of depositors than any other In this country, addressed the convention on "The Newspaper Press and Its Influence on Finance In 1893." Among- other things he said: While no code of Journalistic morals seems to have been formulated. It is apparent that the "paper press Is held responsible to the public wVb? diln-It la difficult to overestimate the ruinous effect of Inflammatory reports of bank failures and the severe strictures upon the methods pursued by bankers published from day to cay In the crisis of IsOS. Sensational financial news eases colored to suit the most fren-sled fancy, appear with each Issue of certain newspaper, To what did all this tend? Inevitably to great public loss, dist'wss.

and ruin, and had not toe mad career been checked, universal bankruptcy must have followed. We all know and1 appiw-date the Influence of the newspapers that realized the peril of the situation when yet not too late and patriotically stepped Into the breach to Slav toe popular clamor and turn the tide. When the convention reassembled after recess, D. V. Rleger of Kansas City discussed the responsibility of bankers to the general public.

He was followed by James Q. Cannon. Vice President of the Fourth National Bank, New-York. Mr. Cannon said that It Is the fact of not knowing Just what their goods cost, and consequently figuring both their cost and profits entirely too low, which bankrupts two-thirds of the business men reported by tho commercial agencies.

In Ilk manner, be added, a large number of bankers do not accurately determine tho cost and profit of their business, and hence very few are able to tell the actual value in dollars and cents, of a riven account. Jiur. Cannon further The value of a bank account la largely determined by the net average balance which It carries. The question of activity is also aa' Important factor, for aa aoeuunt that a active la character necessitates additional labor, which Is. of course, aa Item of expense, and diminishes the profits; and If tha account be not a satisfactory one la point of baianoe.

It will be readily eea that Its costs are snore than tt la really worth. It Is tbe policy of many depositors to maintain only such balance as are absolutely aeceaaary to keep their accounts la funds, and tey appareatly lose sight of tae fact that a bank does not partake of tue" nature of a benevolent Institution, that It ha created for busl-(unc purposes, and Is entitled to eeoss remuneration for the services It renders. Kvery well-regulated Lank should have care-fuiiy prepared by Its discount department a weekly analysis of It loans and discount and the different rate which they are earning, from which the average rate per month on all the oanable fund la tbe bank can be determined. 1 he eeoount should thea be credited with the Interest at the average rate upon the actual Wurking balaac for the nwalb. to which should be added all rbargee for exchange which the bank be made to It depositor during that tin.

The result WIU be the gross Income Upoa oe account for that period. Vrota this amount bould be deducted the actual cash which baa beea paid out for effecting the collection of coun ty gh wilts, ana CV ee ADOILtUTTEiLV PURE i bearing on the Interest allowed for the current month should also be taken from the gross Income, you will then know whether the acoount Is yielding a gross profit or a loss. have now taken Into consideration. In analysing the account, all the cash factor which ar possible, with th exception of the expenses of rent, clerk hire, postage. It Is very difficult ito arrive at a conclusion which will even approximately apportion to any given account th amount, for Instance, of the cashiers salary, with which It 1 chargeable, it seem to that th only way by which on can arrlv at th net profit to be derived from aa account la to ascertain, first, th gross earnings of the bank for any given month: then, what th percentage of expense for that period Is to th gross earning: a have already calculated the groe profit on th account, can deduct from such gross profit th proper proportion of expense with I which It should be debited.

Th difference vll snow the net profit. E. Bohne of Louisville, Ky, made a short address oc Ethics of Banking." Th Varying State Laws Governing Commercial i Paper was ably handled by Thomas P. Pa ton of New-Tork. He presented.

In a general way, a few of tbe peculiarities and conflict of statute and decision that contribute) to: make national law of commercial i paper Incongruous and un-sulted to the need of bankers, and upon this Mr. Palon based a plea for simplicity and uniformity in the laws which govern the- He said that bankers must look to the Legislatures for relief. Herman JustT. President of the First National Bank! of Nashville. talked on Obstacles In the Way of Wise Financial Legislation.

He said: Representative men of other nations often won-derlngly Inquire why it Is that our banking and currency law are unsatisfactory. Why Is there so much complaint they ask. Many of them naturally conclude that our representative men are lrcapabiei of handling these great problems. The member of- thle association well know that we have men: la public and private life capable of framing wis law relating to banking and currency, but' they are hampered byt obstacles at very turn. Many legislators contend for a system which they believe promises some advantage to their State or section, and so selfishness, ignorance, and' sectlmal bias are allowed to obstruct wise financial legislation.

The lack of knowledge on the part of many of our legislators, and their narrow point of view. Is rightly charged with the dUncultle that with us attend financial legislation, and to this cause may trac most of our financial troubles. Leg-. tslatlv Incompetency Is not alone an expensive folly, coating; us million every year, but tt 1 a humiliating spectscle, forcing us to hang our heads In shame before an audience that la looking on with interest and concern at th trial of free government. I How a Banker Should Treat His Dealer and the Public; or.

What Manner of Man Should a Banker Be? was the subject assigned to Mr. B. B. Comegys. President of the Philadelphia National Bank of Philadelphia.

A bank is created and sustained," Mr. Comegys said. not merely for the sole purpose of making money and paying large dividends to the. owners of its shares, any more than It is not the chief end of the individual man to make money and become rich. 1 It is the office of a well-managed bank lo to administer Its affairs with reference to the wellbelng of others that it shall always be ready to aid, within proper limits, legitimate enterprises for the public good: not overworking or underpaying Its employes, nor retaining In its employment persons of unworthy character, but holding up before the community In which it Is situated a model bank in all its features." At the Conclusion of his address, Mr.

Comegys was roundly- applauded. A vote of thanks Was tendered him, and a motion was carried to have the address printed in pamphlet form and sent to bank Presidents throughout) the country. Papers by Messrs. Moses Williams, Boston, on "'The Service Rendered by the Bank to the Public and the Attitude of the Public Toward the Banks," and by Bradford Rhodes, Mamaroneck. N.

on Plan for a Bank Currency," (were read by title and ordered printed as were also those prepared by Messrs. J. N. C. Stockton, Jack sonville, ana ju.

a. Harrison, Cincin nati. The convention then adjourned until to-morrow ASQUDIO TEX WATER SUPPLY APPEAL. Folate In jthe Brooklyn Cat of Interest to Corporations Throughout This Stat. ALBAN, Oct, 10.

One of the most Important coses' to be argued In the Court of Appeals this session was argued to-day. It Is in regard' to the application of the City of Brooklyn to acquire- the property and franchises) of tbe Long Isfeind Water Supply Company. The Long Island Water Supply Company was Incorporated In 18S1. Its business was to supply 4 water publicly and privately In the towni of New-Lots, which In 18S0 was annexed to Brooklyn as the Twenty-sixth Ward. In 1892 the Legislature passed an act authorizing the City of Brooklyn to take proceedings to condemn the property and franchises of the company.

In pursu ance of that act these proceedings were taken. The question at issue is what amount would be just compensation for such property and franchises. That question was referred by tbe Supreme Court to five Commissioners, the commission, after Various changes by resignation, being constituted of Edward M. Shepard, Chairman; Hiram W. Hunt.

I Edward Rowe, E. W. Bliss, and Charles E. Emory. This commission beard a large amount of testimony, and the ma jority of the commission Messrs.

Shepard, Hunt, and BUsa concurred In a report awarding lor tbe property ana franchises of the company. Of this amount, was for the plant of the company and $200,000 was awarded as the value of the franc blues. This report was set aside by Justice Pratt at Special Term, and the city appealed to the General Term, which reversed the decision of i Justice Pratt and confirmed the award of jthe commission. From the decision of the General Term the company now appeals to the Court of Appeals. The substantial considerations upon which the parties to the controversy are at variance jare whether the franchise of the company Is a monopoly of the public purveying of water In the territory of the Twenty-sixth Ward; whether Its business Is open to competition, or whether the rates charred by the company or its other charter rights are subject to modification by tbe Legislature.

If the franchise is a monopoly, the water company claims its value Is from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. The commission of appraisal held than the company did not have exclusive privilege publicly to purvey water In New-Lots. This Is the company whose franchise waa contracted for by A. C. Chapin when he was Mayor of Brooklyn, for but the contract was not consummated.

These proceedings grew out of that proposed action of Mayor Chapln's. William J. Gay nor was originally Interested in the proposed purchase of the water plant by Mr. Chapin as counsel to Mr. Zlegler.

In a brief submitted for tbe appellant. William C. De Witt says tbe questions of law at Issue are fundamental in character and of the utmost importance to all the corporate properties within the State. Mr. De Witt and Gen.

Benjamin Tracy argued the case for the company, in behalf of which a brief was also submitted by Thomas G. Pearsall. Alexander A Green submitted a brief in behalf of the Mercantile Trust Company, which was largely interested in the water company. For tbe City of Brooklyn. Corporation Counsel Albert G.

McDonald and George G. Reynolds appear. Tbe arguments, which were not finished, will be continued to-morrow. Arrivals o. th.
