McKenna)'stated that Baron Bruno von Schrbeder, the banker, was naturalised on August 7, and that Julius Rittershausen, a prominent member of Schroeder's firm, was naturalised on September 2d. Mr. McKcnna said he was satisfied that it was advantageous to the public to grant these men their naturalisation certificates.

The Schroeders were concerned in the floating of the Hungarian loan of £20.800,000 in February last, one fifth of which was raised in London.
