A NEW ELEMENT OF RELIEF,
Improvement in the Financial
Situation.
National Banks See q New Chance
to Make Profits.
Increased Circulation to Be Issued
Against Government Bonds-A More
Cheerful Feeling in Wall
Street.

BY the Associated Press.
New YORK, Aug. LA new and unex.
pected element of RELIEF has been in
jected into the financial situation.
United States bonds have reached such
low figure that national banks see
their way clear to make profit by
issuing circulation against them. Ar
rangements have therefore been made
by several of the more prominent banks
to increase their circulation from the
minimum limits. atwhich it now stands,
to such amount as will materially relieve
the present tension. 1t is estimated
that $s,0OO,OO0 or $4,000, 900 will be so
added to New York's supply Of currency
within very short time. Orders have
already been placed with the comptroller
OF the currency for part OF the new bills,
and some Of the banks have bought
bonds preparatory to depositing them in
Washington.
Harvey Fish & Some, who make q
speciality of government bonds, today
sent circular to the national bank off,
GERS urging the importance OF enlarging
the circulation. They said: "There is
room for over s400, 100000 provided
bonds can be secured for deposit.
Banks which perform q service by in
creasing the circulation, receive their
reward in the shape of large profits.
Bank currency is the best which the
country can have, because it expands
when needed and contracts when not
needed, instead of, in the latter case, re-
naming in circulation to induce foolish
speculation, which hastens and intensi-
fies panics such as we are now passing
through"
WASHINGTON, Aug. with reference
to the New York dispatch about banks
taking advantage OF the low price OF
government bonds to increase their cir
culation, Comptroller Eckels said this
evening that in July the circulation of
national banks increased over $5, 900 900.
In the quarter ended July 31st, the net
increase was over $8,O0O,0 900 and he
thinks in this month it will be increased
at least that much moro. Government
four per cents are now quoted at $l.0S,
which is quite fall from the maximum
figures.

WORKING a Neat Trick.

"I saw funny thing out in Chicago
while on a recent trip to the Worlds
fair" said gentleman from West Vir-
ginia. II was in the lobby of the Palm
er House one evening talking with Colo
mel Jim Butt, our state commissioner,
and several other gentlemen. Against
one Of the gilded pillars near us leaned
q forlorn looking wretch in seedy garb,
who every now and then gave vent to a
consumptive cough that seemed to cause
him intense pain. Suddenly he fell in a
heap to the floor, apparently with great
force, and In q minute a crowd was
around him--a sympathizing crowd too.
One fellow, who was the most oficious
IN rubbing the unfortunate's head with
some kind Of liquid to restore him to
consciousness, said:
Gentlemen, I tell you what ails this
man. It's nothing more or less than
starvation. He hasn't had mouthful
to eat in As hours. All he wants to bring
him around ali right is good beefsteak
and some hot rolls
"'If that's what ails him. said Colonel
Butt, he needn't suffer any longer And
he pulled out a $5 note and handed it to
the Samaritan, who had gradually rubbed
his pal back to life. Then the pair am
bled off arm in arm to play the trick in
some other hotel, but they must have
gone at least block before it dawned
on Butt that he had been victimized. -

SAN Francisco. Aug. 1.-Senators
White and Perkins left tonight for
Washington, d. O. They were accom-
panied by Congressman Mcguire.
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 1.-The citizens Of
Sacramento, irrespective OF party,
turned out tonight to the number Of
nearly 5000 to greet United States Sena-
tors Perkins and White on their way to
Washington. The affair was impromptu,
but was neatly carried ont. Cannon
placed near the depot greeted the train
with SO guns, one for each county and
three each for Perkins, White and Gov
ernor Markham. The Second artillery

Comes, just as the two senators ap-
peared on the platform. accompanied by

Markham on the latter's selection OF a
senator to succeed Stanford, and

the nation. He complimented the peo-
pie of the capital city for their energy
and hospitality, and closed with an
eloquent tribute to the Golden state.
AS Sen ator Perkins came forward the
band played, He's Jolly Good Fellow.
The new senator said he was happy to
gaze upon such sea OF old, familiar
faces. for he fattered himself he was
not a stranger among Sacramentans.

Cleanliness Saves Lie.


With the approach of hot weather the
question of clean, healthy surroundings
is one that must command the attention
of every one, and especially in view Of
the fact that reports have been published
that cholera can always be prevented by
keeping things clean. The physician
should be the preacher of Cleanliness, for
cleanliness saves more lives than all of
the drugs known to us. This includes
body cleanliness as well as that Of sur
roundings. Use water, deodorizers and
disinfectants steadily through the hot
season. There is sanitary condition of
our bodies as well as our surroundings.
Bad matter is continually exuding from
the pores of the skin, and if this is not
washed off frequently it will become the
breeding place for disease germs. Fatal
germs are in dust dirt and particles that
float in the air. These cling to the body,
and under the warmth of the heat from
the body they multiply.
Many who are filthy get infectious dis
eases, while those who are clean escape.
1t is the safest protection that one can
obtain to surround the body with clean
skin. Our surroundings must also be
clean, sweet and pure. Filth creates in
fictitious atmospheric conditions that baf-
de the wisest sanitarian, and every cpl
demic begins in dirt. Decaying animal and
vegetable matter, imperfectly cleansed
clothing, person or bed, are all breeding
places for diseases that may in time be-
come epidemic. The physician should
work to prevent all of this, and every one
who has the good of his country in mind
should aid him in trying to keep the sur
roundings Of the community clean and
sweet in hot weather.-Y Yankee Blade.

The Slam Trouble.

OF the precise merits of the question
between France and Siam at its present
stage it is not easy to speak until the ma
ture of the French ultimatum is made
known. But the Siamese appear to have
shown o conciliatory spirit in the bound
ary dispute. Tho area in controversy is
the broad belt of land lying east Of the
Me-Kong and between that river and the
main mountain chain of Anam. The
French accuse Siam of putting garrisons
into this area, but it is quite certain that
the Siamese have withdrawn from point
after point without struggle, while
such conflicts as have occurred seem to
have been of local origin rather than nm
der the orders Of the king. This mon.
arch, a man of about 40 years, who has
been on the throne since the age of 15, is
admitted to be a ruler of high character,
humane, anxious for reforms and eager
to place Siam in the advanced line of
modern Asiastic progress. He has made
many internal improvements in his king
dom, has fostered commerce, has well
coined foreigners, and if he now hesi-
tates to give up large part of what he
has always considered his domain at the
menace of French fleet and an Anam-
ite army it is what might be expected
One question now for Siam is, What
is England going to do? Without her
aid Siam may fall into the hands Of
France, as Rurmah fell into those of Eng
land herself. Yet that aid might itself
reduce her to the condition of a British
protectorate. The disputed boundary is
fair subject for arbitration. but there
is no indication yet that France will
agree to settle it in that way.-New York
