Appointment-Ci from the
Treasury Department.
WASHINGTON, September l4.-Wil-
liam Bennett, Of Boston, has been ap-
pointed Supervising Inspector General
of steamboats,, vice Smith.
The Treasurer of the United States has
issued circular requesting the National
Banks to make an additional deposit of
five per cent for the redemption of their
circulation, with the instructions that the
United States notes may be sent to the
Treasury under contract of the Treasury
Department, with Adams Express Com
pany, and under the same regulations as
are prescribed for the forwarding of
notes and currency of the United States
for redemption. If any bank
shall prefer, it may forward the required
amount by its draft on New York, Boston
or Philadelphia, drawn to the order of
the Treasurer of the United States, and
payablein United States notes. Acknowl-
edgement will be made to each bank for
its deposit when completed, by remittance
I
United States notes, unfit for circulation,
will be accepted in payment Of the addi-
tional five per cent deposit. As fast as the
notes of the banks making additional
deposits shall be assorted, their amount
will be charged against the deposits, and
the banks notified of the compliance with
this request. 1t is optional with
National banks, but it is hoped that
prompt and general response will be
made to it. 1t is with great reluctance
that this course has been decided upon,
but it now seems impossible to prevent
an interruption in the redemption of
National Bank notes anless further de-
posted U. 5. notes shall be made.
Inquiries in executive and diplomatic
quarters show that there is no truth in
the report that Germany is seeking terri
torial possessions on this continent.
