Restrictions ON Cfpber Cables,

The Brazilian government has deterrnin-
ed that no cipher messages will be received
by telegraph at the port of Santos on ac-
count Of the revolutionary troubles In that
vicinity. This information came to the
State Department from Mr.. Conger, the
United States minister to Brazil, who is
now at Petropolis. On account of the
heavy cable tolls to Brazil. American ship
pers are obliged to resort to a code In send
ing their commissions to their Brazilian
agents. Only a few days ago the general
embargo on code cables was raised, much
to the betterment OF trade. The renewal OF
the en- barge at Santos will be injurious to
conee interests. as Santos is one Of the
largest coffee shipping ports.

Judge Lochren, pension commissioner. to return
to the original practice Of publishing daily
the post Office addresses of those to whom
pensions have been granted. Some years ago
the post Office addresses of the pensioners
were omitted, and without these the
lists in the daily bulletin issued by
the pension Office lost their news
value. Mr.. Stealey argued that the publica-
ton Of the addresses Of the pensioners would
be the most effective means the bureau could
use to secure the detection and exposure of un-
worthy pensioners and to prevent corrupt
methods by agents and applicants. The COM
missioner promised to give the matter consid-

A Chicago Bank Trying to Collect
Draft ON a New York InstitutiOn.

A Chicago Bank Trying to Collect n
Draft ON a New York Institution.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-One of the local
financial news agencies printed the follow
ing dispatch received from their Chicago
correspondent this morning:
The Western National of New York hav-
ing refused to pay a draft Of the Chicago
Trust and Savings Bank. the latter has
put the draft in the hands Of an express
company with imperative orders to collect
the money"
President Tolman of the Chicago Trust
and Savings Bank, claims that he could
not get $4,000 currency from the Western
National Bank. The balance to the credit
of the Chicago institution is about 5000
The position assumed by President Toll
man is considered preposterous by the
banks here.
The explanation Of President Brayton
Ives Of the Western National Bank follows:
I'VE have not refused to honor the draft
except in SO far as the refusal is comprised
in the following telegram, sent by us to
Chicago Trust and Savings Bank:
The general situation here does not
warrant a compliance with the request
contained in your telegram of this date
Your deposits here are I'm clearing house
funds and we are receiving clearing house
certificates in payment of balances
This telegram is word for word the same
as telegrams sent to the First National
Bank of Chicago by the First National
Bank here, the Fourth National Bank
Chase National Bank and the City National
Bank.
I'm fact. the action taken by the Western
National Bank in this matter has been
taken after consultation with the officers
of other leading banks Of this city, and is
quite in harmony with their views and
their action in similar cases.
The remittances of Chicago banks to
their New York correspondents consist al
most without exception of checks on other
banks and very largely on banks outside
of New York Following custom and agree
ment these checks. if they are drawn on
banks In cities not far removed from New
YORK, are credited to the Chicago banks
accounts, although in many instances the
money Is not received for them for sew
eral days and sometimes a week: conse-
quently. while technically the Chicago banks
have money here as a matter of fact they
have to great extent only paper credit
pending the actual collection of the
checks
