Washington, April 3. It is the general impression in the senate that the extra aes-ion or that boiy will ad'-mrn the first or middle of next wet k. The president vrili probably by that time bj rea !y to notify them tnat ha has no further communications to make. Though the republican? s'i 1 claim thst they will push the Roach inves'.igation, m l iUo have thy scope o: the resolution extended, s" as to cover tho maan-r Id which Mr. Roich's election was accomplished ani t!.e part th democratic steering committee played in it, it is developed that there are faw who realty believe that anything more wiil be done this session than reference to the committee f-n privileges and !( tkina. They diiv orir an investigation, but no work will be done in this direction until the cssion next fall The Sirtt Session. The senato was in secret session this ifternoun for more than an hour, an! at ihe end of that time only a few postmasters were given out a having been conSrmed. This was, however, the most tin mportant patt of the session. The Bering lea correspondence and the cases of the two governments wtie submitted to tho wnate, but not read. -Th Russian treaty was then taken up and de-uanded the attention of the senatorn for some time. The recent criticisms of thH treaty in the newspapers of the country have piven the instrument fiomthir. of apolitical tin 2, and the senate is no nearet a solution of trie question whether or not to release the injunction of secrecy than it waa a week or ten days ajro. The di-scti-sion hinges upon jut whstt amount hall be made public. The treaty waj originally nerotiated by Mr. Bayard under Mr. Cleveland's time term. So conclusion was reache I when the senate adjourned. An effort will be made tomorrow to dispose of tbe matter and retease the injunction of secrecy. Both Iraftg of the convention will be subBiitted, and a policy of mutual concession Bay tinaliy dispose of the eubject and permit the people to bee just what the such-discussed treaty doc-d contain, and how nearly correct are the reports that aave been sent out concerning it. Mr. Hoar's Resolution. It appears from a resolution introduced In the ecnate today as if the debate on the subject of the election of senators by a direct vote of the people wad to bo renewed at this extra pe-tsioa of the senate. Mr. Hoar introduced a resolution antagonistic to that proposition, and gave notice that aa eoon as ccavenient after tomorrow he would address the sonata on the resolution. In the senate today Mr. Hear presented petitions beari:..; on Ady'a c!ain to Martin's feat and a resolution touching senatorial elections. Mr. Stewart presented a remonstrance aainst government acquisition of the Centra! I'acitic railroad. The cae of Lee Mantle was then taken tip, and Mr. Turpi; addressed the senate in aupport of the report of the committee on privileges and e ections He devoted a good deal of his argument to the meanfnsr of the words "vacancy" and "happenin?," as c?el in the constitution with reference to the senate, and contended that they were not to he construed in a narrow sense of an accidental occurrence, but must be regarded as used in tho most general sense.

The Observance of 151ae 3Ionday" by I'rc-sident Cleveland. This was "blue Monjay" at the white liou:'C, at least in the oificial portion of tho mansion, for thia ia the day ot the week when the president retires Into the eoütude of his oilice, bora the doors against importunate place-huntera and devotes himself to ' matters re'juirinz his uninterruDt.l attention." Uuicial callers were few and far between. They came upstairs in an uncertain way. as if tney leared they wouid not be received, and when their sunpifions were confirmed wandered into I'rivatn Secretary Thurber's room and drifted out apain. pau.-in in tbe coureo of their exit long enough to (roeaip awhi.e With the newspaper men. bo soon r.s Secretary Carh'9'e is relieved from ine rtiHh of callers which, up to the present tune shown no diminution, he wid turn his attention to the changes in that department so far as the chiefs of division and bureaus are concerned. Ho thinka that iu order that the work ia the department should be carried out in harmony with the administration, the othcers that have ti e control of the various branches should be of the same political faith as ihoen in power. Tbero are some of the chief, however, who are looked upon as the hecr-t-ry'u ' ollicial family." that havH held their places for mapy years and whoe places it would be an extremely diilicult matter to till without injuring the public service.

ANOTHER GOOD OPINION.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL GIVES ITTO THE tax commission. This Time It Is-on tin? Unt Affecting BuiM. ing and Loan Asocia:lon ntnt It Will Aid Asaeesors rihI Other Otnct&ls in Dolus Their Duly-TheNew Laws Do Not AfTcct Taxation. Attorney-Ge neral Smith has addressed to the fetate board of tax commissioners a comprehensive etatement of tho laws as they a(!ect building and loan associations and with reference to their taxation. The communication is an importaut one, and Is as follows: I deem itexpeJient. for the purpose of aiding tax asstssors and otber ofücers ia the performance of their duties, to call their attention to the iaw as applicable to these atiuciatioDs, as follows: 1. How is the stock of a building and loan aisocia-.ioa to Le astsetl? 2. WLat moneys prcperiy enter into the item d bribed in the law as "the amount shown to have been paid into said alteration tip to said first day of April upon outstanding scares of stock irotn which is to be takeu tho amount loaned to shareholders?" 3. Un ler tne liw what character of loans are properly deductible from theamoent of money paid tu the building aud lean associatioue for the purpose of ascent uing the balance subject to taxation? 4. ia tLe CiTtificit ef such an association, for money loaned to it, end upon wkicl'i interest is pai.l, generslly tienominatod paid-up stuck, suhjret i ttxat on? 5. is tde holder of a certificate of paid-up stock in a lal eme a stiarebohler or ent il-d to receive auy of the proüts of said association further than the interest stipulated? (i. Is the stock of a bona tide subscriber to a buihJini; and loan asocitijn which has been paid up wholly or purl all in aJvanoo of the usual as feism-nt, instead of being paid in weekly or mouth y Li.tahmeuts, to he considered as other stntk ot the association and taxed in like manner? 7. How is the (took of a bona fide shareholder i:: sucb an association of some county in tho state of Imtiaua, otber than tbe oce ia which the holder ot such stock resides, to be asseoeij? 8. How is the stock of a bona fide shareholder in a building and losa sscoittion, oritfin. ized umlcr some state o;ber th in ludiaua, to bo aEs-Bsed? No law was passed in lfe!'3 afectinjt the taxation of huiidinir and loan associations. J-enat? hill No. which betume a law, provides U't the regulation end supervision of foreign ai:d d.:ruentio buiidini?, lonu tuad.savirgs or investment issoe ativti. and requires them to make and file ste'ements of tbe condition of its aflairs with the auditor of state, aud authorize examinations to be made of the same, and prescribes penalties for the violation of its provisions, ihis law goes into operation Aprd 1. 1593. - No law which fiuds a place among the statutes of Indiana was designed to accomplish greater good to the people, and especially those among the poorer classes, tLan the original set authoriziuK tbe formation of building and loau acsooiationa. Iu real purpose was to enable wage-earn-rs, by small wetkly payments, to procure homes. The very language ot the amendatory act of 1877 is "that the company shall have the power aud franchise of loauiuR or advancing to the stockholders thereof the moueys accumulated from time to time and the power and right to secure the repayment of such moneys, e:c" Tbe law plainly aad undeniably was intended to te confined to bona tide shareholders, out of whose accumulations only homes miht be built, and npou which mortgages should be given to secure the reravment to the snooiatioa of the money advanced for that pur uose. Is was not intended, nor has it the support of the liw now, that such as.ociatiors should engage ia the general business of banking and aUord ao opportunity to money lenders by which their wesltb can be placed in such a manner as to earn large profits aud at the sume time escape taxation. It is this very deviation from the original purpose of tbe law. which, if not checked soon, will at some time be the rock on which a great crash will oome among the building und loan associations of ihe state. The information desired in answer to the questions above propouuded may be best (,'iveu iu the order of the questions askeil. BiuUbng and loan associations are taxed uccording to the terms of sec. Mi of tue general tax law of 1E31, wiiioli provides that "before the first day of June of each year the secretary of every building, loan and savings association shall file with the auditor of the oounty in which such association was organized a duplicate s'.aiement verified by said secretary, showing the amount paid into raid as&ociatiua Ly shareholders upoa their shares of stock issued by it up to the first day of Apiil preceding und then outstanding, and also the amount loaned up to said date to shareholders and secured by uiortisce upon real estate lined for taxation. And tha auditor shall deliver this statement to the proper &essor, who shall proceed to assess raid atsociatioa for taxation, with the amount shown to have been paid into said association up to aid Is; day of April upou outstanding shares of sicolc, less the amount shown by the statement to have been loaned to shareholders upon said mortgage sttourity so listed for taxation, and neither said association nor the shareholders therein Ehdll be liable to other tax&tioa upon said shares of stock. The phrase "the amount shown to havo been paid into smd nssociatiou," embraces the dues paid by bona fide shareholders tog-ther with all items of premium on stock, interest aud hoes, the latter item being us uiuoa a part of income of the association aa the dues themselves. The above pnr&ae does notoover, nor is it inteuded to etiibrace-mouey which the asso c ation has borrowed and for which it has given its paid up certificates, in as mach as auch certificates should be listed and assessed against their holders precisely as other personal property is assessed. Only such loans should be deducted from the auiouut paid to such association, as above stated, as are secured by mortgagee upon rial estate which has been listed and returned for taxatioo. The justice and logioof this is plain. The purpose of allowing a deduction ia to make it possible for the bona fide shareholders, who have drawn out money for the purpose of building homes, to avoid paying taxes, both on such homes and the stock either iu their bands or the bands of suoh associations itself. It could not be kuown, therefore, whether money which had been drawn out upon pass books or personal or other security had been invested in property listed for taxation or not, and so both ns a natter of safety to such associations in eocfining them to the best clas of security for loans and to enable the owners themselves, who have invested such loans in building homes, to havs the benefit of such exemption, the law provides "that there shall be deducted front the amount paid icto sueh association only the amount shown by the statement to have buen loaned to shareholders upon said mortgage security ao listed for 'aittiou," Within the past few years, as above indicated, large money lenders ct the state have undertaken to use the laws governiug building and loan associations as a means of making large profits upon their money, at the same time avoiding the paymeut of taxes; and while they have succeeded .n their eftorts in msuy counties of the state, it Las been and still continues to be done ia clear violation of the law. It is the duty of county and township assesors everywhere throughout tbs state to obtain lroni the cßicers of building and lou aneuciulions the names of persons to whom paid up certificates of such associations have been issued snd to j l ice such csriiflcates upon tho asscssmetit lists te tha several persons holding tberu. There cau be nothing plainer than that money loaned to a buildiaj and loaa assi e ation. for which paid up certificates have been issued, is subject to taxation. Such eertiüeatss are nothiug more nor less than a promise to pay, and like any other promissory note, are subject to taxation the same as other personal property. Ia many Instances these certificates bear 0 and 8 pr cent, interest in addition to a participation in the general profits of the association, although such certificate holders should aot be allowed to enjoy any of the . Ik. aMtaiuiM .....J (ha lmi.

provi led for in their certificates. Msay assoeiationa have thue fallen into the custom of borrow! ug money at 6 per cent, interest and losning it out to wage-earners, whose payments are made weekly and :'" email sums, for 10 ud 12 per cevi, end ia soma eases at even a higher rate. Tuns the Very purposes of a fair law are perverted and ia the end the poorer clejs s;ems to bear the harden.
