him.
Colonel Coleman was generally well

SCARCITY OF CURRENCY.
mall Bills In Demand-New York suffer
ing-ReIicf at Hand.
LBy tcIegraph % nc DIspatch. J


New York, August 3.-The OYershadow-
ING feature Of the financial situation has
come 10 be tho scarcity of currency. From
ell over the country there ms been such a
continual demand for bills of small de
nomination. and New York has responded
so freely 20 the requests of out-ot.tOwn
banks that now the metropolis itself IS
suffering from what very closely ap-
proaches a currency famine.
For several days money brokers have
been offering premiums of from S2.50 10
$40 per ~ 900 for small bills $50 and IN
der-and to-day the bids were advanced
To- 500 and sos. Considerable business IS
known to have been done at these figures.
one frm-Zimmermap h FOrshay- admit
tod that they had bought currency IN large
amounts for customers for use IN making
up the coming Saturday oay-roiIs, but
where they secured the money they de-
chned To say.
Tho banks with one accord denied that
they had parted with any funds for a
premium. One source of supply was sug
pcsted IN the large retail stores uptown,
whose receipts from day to dav are IN
small bills. Certified checks were offered
10 them in exchange at premiums ranging
from to 10 per cent. How much was
secured in this manner can only be esti-
mated. The dHIlyreceipts at some OF these
stores must be figured IN thousands OF
dollars.
The demand from country banks was
unabated. but comparatively little monev
was shipped. When the need was known
To- be urgent the request was not refused,
but the shipments were generally made in
cold and silver. The banks of Chicago,
Philadelphia. and Boston are blamed for
the present situation 10 the extent that
they have failed to take proper measures
~ relief. aud New York has been calico
upon IL supply the whole country. TO do
tins tho banks here have taken out clear
mg-hoLse certificates to the amount OF
S39. $50. 900.
The developments of the last few DAYS
prove conclnslvely the wisdom OF the
snvings-bank presidents IN deciding TO
enforce the time.clause rule. The dltfi-
Guilty in getting currency was what
prompted Their action, and If the drain
nom that source had not stopped prompt
Iy the situation now would be vastly worse
than 1t Is.
Some relief is looked for when the gold
now ahoat reaches here, and more as soon
as the Comptroller of the Currency Is able
to bPgiu delivering the new circulation
ordered by the national banks. Exchanges
over the counter at the sub-Treasury OF
cnrrencv for gold certificates to-day
amounted to $50 O0), and e2)0,O0J In gold
was paid out on checks. The shipment OF
silver dollars was Sl5,O0O.

COunciliuen for Services.
The announcement. made exclusively in
"Wednesday mornings DlspArCG, that Dir.
Noble would introduce III the Council
next Monday night u resolution asking the
Legislature to amend the clty's charter so
that the councllmen should be reduced IN
number and paid for their services. has
caused that subject 20 be generally
discussed throughout the day. Many ap-
prove Mr. Noble's plan outright. others
suggest slight changes, and still Others
are satisfied TO allow the government TO
remain as IL Is.
A DISPATCH reporter picked up few ex-
pressiOns upon he question IA he made
his accustomed rounds yesterday.
Colonel William +. Tanner was seen
leaning against one end of the Merchants
National Bank taking with Mr.. John Kerr
Branch. The Colonel SAID: :" am IN
favor OF having the city governered some
what as Nashville IS. There the entire
work of our Council is done by board of
management consisting of three OF the
very best men who eau be gotten for tho
positions. These men are paid -9OOO "a
year for their services" MIR. Brancn
added: And Richmond should make
such officers. if she had thea. liable for
their errors OF Irregularities. They should
be placed under bondsin the sum OF $780,
600 each.'
DIR. w. III. Taylor approved a similar
plan to that suggested by Mr.. Noble. but
doubted ITS practicability. Mr.. Mobiles
resolution" the Doctor remarked, lis
two-edged instrument. The best men are
not politicians-thcy arc statesmen, but
not politicians. The people do not rally
around the mamie has to do most OF the
rallying himself. | doubt If MIR. Mobiles
plan would greatly improve our Council

VIEWS OF CoUSCTLMKE.
Mr.. John f. Epps. member Of the Coun-
ell from Jefferson Nard was in favor of
the resolution. and said he would vote for
it with slight amendment which he
would offer.
Mr.. Joseph W. Carter. member of the
Board from Marshall Ward, approved the
plan.
Mr.. George f. Bowden. a member OF the
Board from Jefferson Ward, said: This
question has been discussed for many
wears. 1t Is not likely that anything will
come Of Mr.. Mobiles resolution. am not
decided how shall vote upon such pro-
position"
Mr.. Thomas Potts said The city
should be governed by council OF ten
six from the lower aud four from the upper
branch-and these should be paid for tneir
services. No man can aford 10 give his
time TO the city as 1t Is required TO
properly attend 20 it's affairs"
Mr. James Is. Pace remarked: II have
not given the question much thought and
am, therefore. not competent TO give an
expression of opinion. will think over
1t and let you hear from me later"
MR. TURPIS OPPOSES.
Mr.. William N. Turpiu. member OF the
Board of Aldermen from jefferson Ward,
was fatty opposed TO the proposition. He
argued thusly: In case the city were 20
pay councllmen $1,000 a year and men,
bers of the Board ~ 500 It would not i'm
prove these bodies IN. any way. You
would have no better men IN the Council

Prefecture now admits that there have
been 601 deaths from cholera IN Marseilles
since the middle of NAV. On several days
90 deaths were recorded and on last Sat
urday the mortality went up TO 20. During
the last four weeks there have been S26
deaths throughout France.
