THE NATIONAL BANKS.
Treasurer Jordan Not Alarmed by Their
Threats to- Retire from the System.

Treasurer Jordan Not Alarmed by Their
Threats to- Retire from the System.
Washington Special.
United States Treasurer Jordan, referring to
the reported threats that some of the national
banks will retire from the national banking sys-
tenn, in view of the probability that the 3-per-
cents. will soon be all called in. said s.You can
rest assured that no bank will carry out that
threat First, because the situation for them is
not at all stringent and they are in no danger of
being driven to the WALL or even cramped, by
those bond calls; secondly, because there are no
State laws under which these banks can reorgan-
ize pro6tably If any of the States had laws un-
der which these banks could issue currency there
might be some temptation TO them to go out of
the system, although doubt if their circulation
would be accepted generally then. am inclined
TO believe that these banks would not for good
deal lose their status as national banks, for the
reason that much of their business would go to
the remaining national banks. This would be
especially the case with small depostors whose
suspicious are easily aroused, aud to whom the
word national in banks title has always
seemed great protection for their small invest
ments."
United States Treasurer Jordan, in an inter.
view with Post reporter to-day, says: IL do
not expect any contraction Of the currency to
suit from future calls of percent. bonds al
though do not expect more than 25 per cent of
the called bonds will be replaced by the national
banks with and Al percents These bonds
cost too much in the market, and there would
be no profit TO a bank In currency secured by
bonds for which so much would have to be
paid"
Treasurer Jordan thinks that within twelve
months from date all the 3-per-cent. bonds now
outstanding will be called in il the revenues of
the government continue rs at present

THE NORTHWESTERN INDIANS.
Deplorable Condition to Which They Have
Been Reduced by Scoundrelly Whites

ST. PAUL Mimi, Sept 26-Messrs Wright
and Larabee, Of the Indian Commission. which
has been arranging treaties with the Indians Of
northern Minnesota, are in the city for few
days. In addition to che facts already published
about treaties made, they report most deter
mined effort on the part Of men interested in the
sale of whisky to the Indians to prejudice them
against the commission. Their theory is that
so long as the Indians can be kept outside Of
reservations and open to the advan ces of the
whites they cannot be led to part with the
money they make from the sale of rice and blue
berries for whisky. The Indians of Beach Lake
reservation sold. this season, $4,000 worth of
berries, and the Commissioners state that large
part of this goes to buy whisky. AZ White Oak
Point the Indians were found in a most deplor-
able condition. In some instances they had
been so completely demoralized and so entirely
robbed of the means of subsistence that they
would eat the dead bodies of diseased horses.
The men were in q revolving condition
and seemingly lost to the moral sense while the
women were made articles of merchandise The
last scene that the commission witnessed rs they
pulled out ia their canoes from White Oak point
was touching as well as terrible. Upon the bank
Of the lake. in the midst of chilling ran sat
poor Indian woman, adding her tears to those
that nature seemed shedding The husband had
just sold of her children, young girl lot
more than fifteen years old, to some lumberman
for sack of -four It is said By the commission
ers that there are many instances where girls
are as good as sold to white men. and after being
robbed of all they hold most dear, are turned
adrift with babes in their arms and other girls
taken in their places. The commission will visit
Mile Lac reservation. and will go thence to
Fond du Lac. Boise Fort and Grant Portage to
complete the work in Minnesota They will. if
not too late, also go to Dakota, stopping at Fort
