Nothing was then observed to be wrong; but about

ATHENS, Jan. I, 1892
The government by virtue OF the extraordinary
powers which have been granted them by the Paria-
ment, have just aecreed the issue OF 100000
drachmas OF paper money to be taken as legal
tender. Before proceeding to this measure the
Ministry endeavored to treat with the National Bank
for loan, but the bank declined to accept the pro-
posal Of the government. This forced issue, being
considered an extreme measure by the people,
has caused the exchanges 70 be In disturbed
state, and some fears have been entertained
respecting the stability OF the National Bank
This feeling OF alarm caused q number
Of holders Of bank notes to make run on the bank

further shown by the correspondence
that Yerger had offered to settle the claim
of the city against him if the city would
settle claim he had against it for dam
