Nearly all the senators and representa-

the clock pointed to the hour for ad-
journment. and on the focrs Of both
houses and around the corridors and
clerks Office there was q hustle and ex-
citement incident to the preparation of
bills which passed during the evening
for the presidents signature before the
session Of congress expired.
Shortly after o'clock, as is custom
airy on such occasions, the president ar
rived at the capitol and was immediate
~ shown to his room, where he was en-
gagged for some minutes chatting with
senators and Vice President Morton.
Soon after arriving the worlds fair bill
was presented for his signature, and in
few minutes il became law. Other
bills followed. and for some minutes the
president was kept busy afixing his
name to various measures, consisting
principally, however, Of bills OF pri-
vate nature. An unusually small num-
Der were presented to him and he soon
completed his task and spent the remain
der Of his time talking TO senators and
others who happened in.

The Secretary OF the Treasury Speaks ON
Finanoial Questions.
VERMILLIoN, o., Aug. S.--Secretary
Of the Treasury Foster spoke to large
audience here on monetary questions.
He reviewed the financial history OF the
country from the colonial period down
% the present time. He exhaustively
discussed the state bank system. the is
sue Of greenbacks and the resumption of
specie payments. His remarks were
chiefly directed to the best system of
banks, and the conclusion he reached
was stated as follows:
ITO me it seems perfectly clear that If
this country il going to have any kind
Kind Of paper money issued by banks,
the national bank system il undoubt-
edly preferable to that Of banks Of issue
under state authority. In the national
bank system we have one restraining
power, which has shown that IN nearly
thirty years not single dollar has been
lost to the public. Under state authority
we would have forty different sys-
terms Of bank issue, reviving, par
italy. at least, the old system,
entailing more or less loss upon
the people accumulation largely con-
fned to state Of issue. The money shay
ers would again have occupation and
large losses would certainly fall upon
the people. II more bank issues are
needed or desired it can easily and safely
be had. This story of the currency of
this country plainly indicates the neces-
sity Of having at all times circulating
medium that 10 without question or
doubt upon perfectly substantial basis;
that any dollar Of our circulation should
be the equal Of every other dollar. dc
not know that we can have too much
good money, but do know we can have
too much poor money. Let 1t be the
| study OF our people to secure for them
selves sound money and as much of that
I as their business needs may require"

It Causes Considerable Anxiety In Eng
land.
LONDON, Aug. S.--Even domestic poll
tics are overshaiowed by gravity of the
news from Pamir. China and Great
Britain are both moving ID defense
against Russian aggression, while the Az
ghans lay claim to part Of the disputed
territory, and are attempting to hold IL
both against the Chinese and Russians.
The British are decidedly strenthened
for opposition to Russian advance BY the
recent British conquest Of the petty
states Of Hunzea and Magyar situated
between the Little Pamir and the front
iers Of Kashmir -
The allied states Of Hunsea and Magyar
comprise all the rivers drained into the
Kantjator Hunzeas river, which flows
into the Gilgit river, two miles below
Gi1git fort This region Is extremely
difficult of access, to which fact is due
the impunity with which the tribesmen
have hitherto been unable to carry on
their raids into the countries Of their
neighbors. These valleys are buried in
q gigantic mountain system containing
some of the highest peaks in the Hima-
layas, Mount Bakaposhi, which towers
above Chalt, being 25, 500 feet in height,
while q number of SUBMITS exceed
u, 900 feet. Immense glaciers descend
into the ravines, the Magyar river itself
rising in the vastness OF known glaciers,
which are nearly thirty miles III length.
Holding this virtually impregnable
position the British are much more
prepared than year ago to obstruct the
Russian advance, should the Russians
endeavor to encroach upon British ter
ritory. At present the Russian invasion
Is confined to territory beyond the line
of British possession. although approach
ing dangerously near it.
A dispatch from Pekin states that the
Chinese government Is already on the
alert, and explanations have been de-
manded from both Russia and Afghan
istan for encroaching upon territory
claimed by the Chinese. The Chinese
forces IN the Pamir region commanded
by General Chang, without waiting for
any explanations, have already encoun-
tered the Afgnans in bloody conflict at
Samutash. The Chinese were consider
ably 0utnumbered but they fought reso-
iuteiy and only retseated ia the face of
Overwhelming forces. The Afghans had
the field. General Chang, it is stated,
has sent with his report Of the conflict
an imperative demand for reinforce
