FIGHTING THE NEW SCHEME.
Chicago Bankers Vote the New Postal
Notes Nuisance and Refuse to
Handle Them.


CHICAGO, Sept. 10.
The banks, National and private, compos-
ing the Chicago Clearing House Association,
have nearly all signed an agreement not to
receive any moreof the new post notes or or
ders on deposit, and those who have not
signed viii probably do SOFAS soon as the doc
uInent is presented to them.
A reporter visited several banking houses
with a view to asceGtaining the cause of
this action. Vice-President Gage, Of the
First National, said the banks objected
mainly to receiving the postal orders on de-
post because Of the extra labor, annoyance
and trouble they caused. An officer Of the
bank. not an employe, is required to in
doTse them; then they have to be care
fully examined to ascertain if the amount
is properly punched on the margin, and
care must be taken to see that
they have not expired, as the limita-
ton Of them is three months. Mr.. Gage
thought it was better for the receiver of
the postal notes to obtain the money at the
post-oftice, il drawn on Chicago, and de
post the cash, thus saving the bank the eX-
ira labor Which 'depositing them required
a postal order for seventeen cents was
shown the reporter. 1t was drawn at
Parker, D. T., on the Chicago post-office,
and required the signature of one of the
banks officers before 1t could be cashed at
the postoffice. Other bankers expressed
similar views, and so far as the receiving of
the postal notes at the Chicago banks is con-
cerned, the official edict has gone forth that
they must 60. It is believed here by the
bankers that similar action will be taken by
the banks of other cities.
That the new notes will be used to very
large extent, despite this action, there is no
doubt for they fill long-felt public want
1t has been practically impossible to send
money by mail in sums less than one dollar
or fractions of dollar, because nothing but
silver coin is in circulation. Merchants, es-
pecially those engaged in a sn all way, or
relying on country orders, viii 70 doubt fird
them very handy and viii be willing, for
the help they will be to their business, to 70
to little pains to have them cashed, if no
where else than at fl1a most of9ioa

AMONG THE NEW ENGLAND MILLS.


Senators Aldrioh and Pugh visited the Harris
Wooden Uompany's mill and the Social Com
pany's cotton-mill at Woonsocket r. l., on the
9Th. The operatives were reported to be en-
tirely satisfied with their condition. The Su-
peuntendent of the Woonsooket mill testified
that the best help were Americans. Then
came English, Irish and Canadians, In the
order given. One of the overseers of this
mill, II. A, Mongeon, is Canadian. From
Woonsocket the party took the train for
Ashton, a little factory village of six or eight
hundred people The operatives are mostly
all English or Irish, and were found with
rather comfortable homes and very happy.
Many OF the people have organs or pianos,
and their houses are comfortably furnished.
The average wages paid each employee incmd-
ing women and children, is $30.S5 for every
tour week work. A number of them have
money in bank. The company furnishes free
baths and has public library OF some eight
hundred volumes

Mills on the It'll. About thousand opera
tives are employed there. The men earn from
Sl.25 to 50 day; the women from 81 to 81 80;
children from SO 20 S. a week. There are a
larger number of Irish employed than of any
other nationality, although there are a num-
Der of Swedes. The operatives are more

The news of the acquittal of Frank
James was received here between four and
five O'Clock this afternoon, andimmediately
spread through the town. Among those
who have watched the progress of the trial
closely the outcome of it was not a sur

would be convicted, others were glad Of his
acquittal, while others made it the occasion
for reviving the epithet, "peor old Mis-

preached and asked if he had anything to
say regarding it, replied that he had not.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. Q.

The verdict in the James case was re-
ceived with great interest in this city. The
report flew from mouth to mouth till it be-
came the sole theme on the streets, in the
saloons, at the hotels, among business men
and lawyers, in police and city circles, and,
in fact, among all classes of people. TWAS
talked about tonight to the exclusion of
other topics. Some declared that no other
result could have been reached; that there
was no evidence to convict; that the state
ments Of witnesses for the State were not
worthy of belief. One in thousand thought
that James had received simple justice.
A great majority of the people, however,
said that the verdict of acquittal was an
outrage which would add to Missouri's
shame in many instances.

IT was fine day yesterday. There were
drives through the Soldiers Home Park
and over the surrounding country, trips on
the river, visits TO Arlington, &c. But
there were hundreds of people who could
not afford to drive out. They had to con-
tent themselves with visits to the city
parks. What delight it would have been
to spend an hour in the Botanical Gardens
or the National Museum or the Congress
siohal Library. But their gates were
closed. When Congress comes again we
will try to have this remedied for the bene-
fit of the people.

To a correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press Attorney General Brewster lays the
blame of the exorbitant fees paid Mr.. Bliss
at the door of ex.Attorney- General Mac
veagh, and generally seeks to shift the re-
sponsibility for the scandalous misuse of
funds to others. This pleading the baby act
was not to be expected from the pugna-
cious and benounced Brewster, and is evil
dence Of the telling effect of old age and
prolonged dissipation.
He also seeks to shield himself behind
the action of Congress in appropriating the
money for the conduct of his Department,
and says they did it after knowledge of all
the facts. AS matter of fact Congress did
it blind. Even Senator Van Wyck could
get but partial report of the expenditures
asked for, and suppression of the truth has
been the rule with the Department under
Brewster. Even in the interview referred
to Brewster conceals the truth under an ap-
parent show of candor, and lies outright
when he speaks of the defendants and their
counsel.

The CRITIC published on Saturday the
terms of the new contract between the Dis
trict Commissioners and the Washington
Gaslight Company, by which the important
step is gained of material decrease in the
price of gas to private consumers.
The agreement reached on Saturday, as
explained by Commissioner West, is that
the District agree to allow the gas COM
pany tosupply gas for the street-lamps dur
ing the coming fiscal year at $22 per lamp
per annum (the amount appropriated by
Congress), on condition that the number of
hours that the lamps are to burn during the
year shall be increased from 1900 to 1900,
and also that the Gas Company shall reduce
their price for gas to private consumers to
$150 per thousand cubic feet.
Mr.. West said that the Commissioners
had further agreed that they would favor
an increase to $25 per street-lamp per year
after next year If the company would keep
the lamps burning for $500 hours.
The Commissioners have given the gas
question very careful consideration aud
claim that this agreement is very ad-
vantageous one, the gas company reducing
their receipts 100000 per year by the re-
duction in price to private consumers,
lighting the lamps for 50 less per lamp per
year than heretofore and lighting the
streets for four hundred hours longer per
year. The price of gas as now agreed upon
is said to be lower than in any other city
ia the country.
The question of granting permits for
opening the streets aud laying new mains
was not considered at all and remains for
future deliberation.
No provision was made as to the quality
of gas to be supplied, as the statute already
definitely settles that.
The number of hours that the street.
lamps are lighted in other cities is shown
by the following table from a recent report
by Captain Greene
