This evening Commissioner Tanner tele-
grsphed Private Dalxell TO know Nether his
letter WAS stolen or had reached the public in
some other manner To Post reporter he
made this statement The rerating cases
were in a bunch, Among them was Depaty
Commissioner Smiths, Ills case vas not
made special. While the question of rerating
these pensioners was under discussion there
was present in my office Gen. Lew Wallace
and Gen. Barnum of New York, and more
than dozen newspaper men.
There is not the slightest criticism as to
the justice of rersting these pensioners. Ii
was generally endorsed by the press. includ-
ing the papers generally opposed to me. In
the case Of the deputy commissioner it went
with the others. do not recall whether l
signed it subst quently or not. II | did so it
was done with a rubber stamp, the way in

NATIONAL BANKS.
The BaakePs il CoaIention Discuss The
Law Of Forfeiture.
Reported In Favor OF Amend
OverchaIse OF Interest.


KANSAS CRY, Sept. s6.
| In the bankers convention today Sn ee,
Of Kentucky offered resolution that il a.
| the sense Of the convention that See, 5laS
| of the revised statutes of the United Stat es
governing national banks be 80 amended by
Congress 80 to expange the clause govern
ing the forfeiture interest.
The New York delegation opposed the
resolution In their State the speakers said
the State Law is much more severe in its
penalty than the national Law.
Butler of Connecticut condemned the Law.
He thought that there should be no laws
governing rates Of interest. and that they
ought to be allowed TO be governed by them
selves. Supply and demand was the only
Law that would operate justly to both loaner
and borrower He urged the adoption of the
resolution. The resolution was referred to
q special committee. The committee re-
ported recommending that Congress be re-
quested TO amend the Law in question, so that
the penalty would be forfeiture of only the
amount Of interest over the legal amount.
The executive council recommended that the
amount be the interest over the legal
amounts. The executive council recon-
mended the paper read by st. John yestcr-
day, outlining a proposition TO require the
treasurer of the United States TO coin 81,
o0O. 200 in silver each month aud to retire
the same in proportion to the United States
legal tender notes, 40 that without affecting
the amount OF currency circulating at par
the paper would be retired conveniently. 1t
will be referred 10 the next executive
council.
The recommendation provoked long dc.
bate. During the discussion Hon. John Jay
Knox was brought to his feet by the state
nent of n western delegate that he was
gold mono metalist Knox declared that he
WAS not believer in gold as a sole coin
metal, in favor Of gold as a standard. Knox
moved that the executive council consider Il
in connection with st. Johns proposition IN
the question of issuing silver certificates to
the full value of the silver issued in coin.
st. John opposed the motion, and thought |
the proposition 80 entirely foreign TO
the one he had placed before the convention |
that II should be tackled on to il to confuse
the minds Of the executive council
After some discussion Knox withdrew his |
motion and plan was adopted to fully con
slider St Johns proposition and vote on it by |
mail after the executive council sent its re.
port to the delegates.
The convention reelected Charles Parsons |
OF ~. Louis, PRESIDENT of the association and
Morton McMichael vice president. The next
executive council is made up of one delegate
from each State represented and the vice
presidents recommended by the nominating |
are with very few exceptions the |
same as last year. The new executive coun.
ril chose George +. Baker Of New York TO |
succeed himself AS treasurer aud W. b. |
Green to succeed himself as secretary. The |
convention then adjourned.
