<ASSOSAneCQ AACSos
Washington March 14.-President
Cleveland has decided upon line of
policy to be pursued in the appointment
of consuls which it is expected will
materially expand the trade of the
United States with foreign countries
and especially with the South and Cen
trail American republics. His policy is
to select men for consuls who have
exceptional business qualifications and
ability to aid in working up market
for the product of American manufac-
turies and farms. The president said
that, of course, political reasons can
not be entirely ignored in the selection
of consuls, but particular stress will
be laid upon the business abilities of
the men whose names are presented to
him.

WITH NO VIOLATION OF LAW
Bankers and Business Men
Elated With the Method.
An Important Decision.
y Associated Pressto rhs News.

BUFFALO. n. Y, Aug. H.
Comptroller of Currency Eckels,
in answer to an irqury from vice.
President Baird, of the Buffalo
Furnace Co., asking if it was
against the law to issue checks GER
titled to 10y national banks, to be
used the same az currency in making
up pay rolls, has decided that as
checks were issued by depositors
and not by the banks, and involved
a business contract between depos-
tors and their creditors, 1T did not
constitute violation of section
5lS2. AS to the certtication of
such checks by national banks when
drawn against depositors to the
credit of, or order, can find no
legal objection.
The reply is received with the
greatest satisfaction by the Buffalo
bankers, and the method of using
certified checks in IS and 80
amounts, and currency for less
sums than 80, IL expected to furn-
ish immediate relief.
In an interview Mr.. Baird said:
"It will enable manufacturers to
find currency to meet the pay rolls
and will keep thousands of men in
employment who would otherwise
be discharged"
The scheme is to use certified
checks of the above denominations,
made payable to bearer. A large
number of the biggest manufacture
ers in the country have been inter
ested in the decision. which is given
out by the comptroller.
