wHAY THE SAVINGS BANK REFUSE II
TAKE LARGE AMOUNTS OF THE COIN.

WHAY THE SAVINGS BANK REFUSE TO
TAKE LARGE AMOUNTS OF THE COIN.
To ascertain the truth of a rumor that
savings banks had refused to accept the
silver "trade dollar" from depositors at
its face value of 100 cents, reporter for
the Sun visited the representative saving
banks yesterday. Some take the coin
readily, while others do not. except in
such small amounts as s.. Their Of
ficers prefer to decline TO take larger
amounts rather than to discount.
The Bowery Savings Bank refuses TO
take sums larger than So or 81, and the
officers say that the depositors do not
complain. The reason Tor their refusal
is, that if large amounts were taken,
sharpers would get silver at discount
in Wall street and deposit it in the saving
bank at per value, thus making the gain
of the discount. The Seaman's Savings
Ba nix in Wall street receives trade dol
lars orly when offered with other kind:
of money. The Bleecker Street Saving:
Bank and the EN- igraut Savings Bank IN
Chamber street ia Ike trade dollars as
rule, without objection. The officials
say, however, that If large lots should b'
offered they would be refused, becans'
of the difficulty of handling. None o
these institutions has as vet been asked
to receive any but trifing deposits o
sill ver.-N. Y. Sun.

YAKOB BEG.

Since the death of Yakob Beg, the
able soldier and statesman whose
genius created a powerful Moham-
medan kindom in Central Asia a
few years ago, the Chinese have re-
newed their pretsnsions to the sover-
eighty Of that region. Yakob drove
the Celestials out of the country, at
the beginning of his career, and
while he lived they were restrained
from further aggression by a whole
some dread of his prowess but he
left no heir to his throne or his skill
in the council or the field, and the
latest news by way of st. Petersburg
reports the invasion of Kashgar by a
strong Chinese force, the occupa-
ton of important points by them,
and the fight of the terror-stricken
natives into Russian territory for pro-
lection. If Russia we're not fully
occupied with the Turks at present,
she would doubtless find means tC
make a cause of war with China out
of these occurrences, and proceed tt
the annexation of the territory lying
between her present boundary anC
the frontier of British India. Th'
accomplishment of this conquest is
part of the long-pursued policy of thu
Russians in Central Asia.

WASHINGTON IN ARMS.
CITIZENS SWORN IN AS POLICE Of
FIcERs-AssAULT OR ACCIDENT.

WASHINGTON, January 3.-Twenty
residents OF the northern section Of the
city have been commissioned by the
Board of Police as special officers to per-
form police duty in that section for three
months. The citizens who are appoint
ed are numbered as among the best citi.
zens Of Capitol Hill, and were selected
by the indignation meeting held on Sat
urday evening last, in consequence OF the
assault and outrage on Miss Wilson. All
of the men arrested on suspicion of be-
ing the guilty party have been released,
Miss Wilson being unable to identify
any of them.
These special officers intend to arrest
every person, colored or white, found
roaming about the streets at unreasona-
BILE hours of the night who cannot give
| satisfactory account OF themselves. About
| l O'Clock this morning a white mar
named Z. j. Parker was found near the

THE FAMOUS CREDITMOBILIER
CASE.

PHILADELPHIA, January 3.-The judges
failing to arrive at decision of the IA
nous credit-mobilier case in May slast,
ordered a reargument, and to-day coun:
sci representing Henry s. McComb, OF
Wilmington, Del, the plaintiff in the
case, appeared before Judges Mckennor
and Cadwallader, in the United States
Circuit Court, in reference to fixing a
date for the reargument, which will take
place next month. The suit of McComb
against the credit mobilier, which was
commenced in 1868, gave the material
upon which the famous congressional
investigation was had. The stockholders,
it seems, had some misunderstanding,
and MsComb demanded the profits
which had accrued on the go shares OF
stock which he had subscribed for in the
name of Richmond banker. To obtain
these prot he brought suit and his
counsel will ask that a decree be made
by the court to compel the defendants to
render an account to him.
