patch from Berlin, dated the 10Th, says
Mr. Bayard Taylor, American Minister to
Germany, died in this capital at O'Clock this
afternoon lie passed away from life as
though sinking into sleep. Until recently a
decided improvement in his condition had
been perceptible, aud the tdings of his sud
den death will arouse universal grief and sor-
row, because the deceased gentleman, al
though only accredited short time, was
universal favorite. The Emperor William,
the Crown Prince, and Prince Bismark great
" esteemed Mr.. Taylor, whose appointment
as Minister to this Court was extremely wei
come to them. Mrs. Taylor and her daughter
ievotedly nursed him during his long illness,
aud their bereavement is indescribably sad
The fatal symptoms came on suddenly. Mr..
Taylor had been out of bed and was transact
ing business with the officials of the Ameri-
can Legation yesterday. His death was peace

The New York Sun makes the interesting
point that the coin reserve now held by the
Treasury, which amounts TO about forty per
cent. of the Treasury notes outstanding, cor
responds almost exactly with that held by the
Bank of England when Great Britain unsuc
cessfully attempted resumption in 1917. The
assistance, however, of the banks, which has
already been guaranteed to the government,
secures the non presentation for redemption
of nearly thirty per cent OF the greenback
circulation. With this guarantee the Treas
ury will be in better condition for resump
ton than was the Bank OF England on the
second and successful attempt in 1921.
