DISCUSSED BY THE STREET.
l>NNhat Was Said I'm New York About the
Action Of the SAVINGS Bank Presidenas-

What Was said in New York About the
Action of the Savings Bank Presidenas-
NEW YORK. July 2e.-NaturalIy the &C
tion Of the saving bank presidents IN the
matter of the thirty and sixty-day clause
was much discussed in Wall street today.
Opinions differed widely. but IL is TO be re-
marked that the conservative element
rather favored the action OF the presidents.
1t was generally agreed that the recent
heavy purchases Of odd lots OF railway and
other stocks materially reduced the deposit
lines OF the banks. and while this proved
of benefit to the security market it has
caused some of the banks TO be apprehen-
sive of a sudden withdrawal OF money
from the national banks by savings instf-
tutions In the event of a run on the latter,
This WOULD have disturbed a great many
loans. and perhaps caused forced selling OF
collateral For these reasons the action of
the bank presidents meets with commenda-
ton
Henry Clews says the action Of the saw
ings banks In availing themselves OF their
sixty days privilege fs not a bear argu-
rpent- The current was becoming 80
strong to draw money out of the savings
banks 10 invest at bargain prices IN seeur1s
ties. ana IL was to prevent this that this
step was taken. The action of the savings
banks show that the investing public are
now picking up stocks right and left and
II has drffted into almost a mania
President ]. Edward Simmons Of the
Fourth National said this morning: Il have
nothing further TO say about the action of
the savings bank presidents save that fully
approve OF their action. 1t is a sood
thing"

THAT PENSION STORY DENIED
What E1-Assistant Secretary Bussey and
Ex-Commissioner Tanner Say.
The Alleged Decisions Were Not Approved
by Secretary Noble and They
Never Had Any Eject.

Ex-Assistant Secretary Bussey and ex-
Commissioner Tanner give q very positive
and circumstantial contradiction to Dep
uty Commissioner Bells statements to the
effect that sixteen employees of the pen
sion bureau whose pensions were illegally
increased in 1889 by Commissioner Tanner
were still drawing their pensions at the
increased rate in contempt of specific in
structions given by Assistant Secretary
Bussey that the old and lower rating be
restored. and the further statement that
these orders by Assistant Secretary Bus
sey had been secreted and were only re-
Gently discovered by Commissioner Loch-
rem.
An examination Of the alleged decisions
bear any specific date. five are dated "Au-
gust, 1883. the others having no date
whatever. All Of the cases except two are
signed by Assistant Secretary Bussey,
one OF these having no signature and the
other his name in typewriting. When the
attention Of ex-Commissioner Tanner was
phatically that he had never seen the al
Legged decisions, although he remained In
office until September L, 1889, nor had he
ever heard OF them until today.
Gen. Bussey's Statement.
Ex-Asststant Secretary Bussey was seen
at his office. He said that no such decisions
as were referred to and quoted had ever
been promulgated from his office During
the Tanner Investigation he had, on his
own motion. taken up a number Of cases of
pension employees who, he believed, had
been illegally rerated, and wrote out a de-
cision in each case. They were formulated
with a view to their being shown to the
President and Secretary Noble as aids in
their investigation and understanding of
the cases, and also with a view to their
subsequent official PRONUNCIATION il they met
with their approval. They did not meet
with the approval Of the Secretary. who de-
cided upon another course of procedure as
indicated In his letter to Congress on the
subject. The cases as written up were
signed by Mr.. Bussey, simply. he said. to
identify them to the President and Secre-
tary Noble. After 1t had been decided not
TO issue the decisions as prepared Gen. Bus
sey says he put them in his desk, where
they remained for many months.
On one occasion he showed them to the
then Commissioner Raum, who asked per-
mission to take a number of them to his
office and look them over at his leisure
This permission was granted, and about
twenty out OF fifty or sixty of the decisions
were taken away. Gen. Raum had. no
doubt. forgotten to return them. and so the
.secreted decisions" were discovered and
the conclusion instantly reached that
larger sums Of money had been paid out
contrary to the instructions contained
therein. Gen. Bussey stated with earnest
ness that the alleged decisions We're not de-
cisions at all, nor were they ever copied and
promulgated such. as was well under
stood by Gen. Raum and the chief officials
Of the pension bureau.
