PENSIONERS IN A DILEMMA.

National Banks VIII Not Cash Vouchers
Because They Cannot Wait for Money
to BE Returned From New York.
The pensioners Of this city are much
agitated and IN a dilemma that they do
not know how to avoid, because the
national banks of the city will not cash
the pension vouchers
The vouchers are drawn on the
assistant treasurer of the United States
at New York. Heretofore, the national
banks, have, as an accOmmoda-
tion, csshed all checks and
then exchanged with the New
York banks. When checks have been
presented by pensioners Of this city for
the last quarter. the banks refused 10
cash them, stating that there was not
sufficient money in the banks to allow
them to receive the checks, and then
wait until they can secure the money
from New York.
The pensioners have been turned
away unless they have a deposit in the
bank, or secure one who has a deposit to
endorse the check. This morning several
took their complaints to United States
Commissioner Smith, but he would not
advise them to do anything but to wait
until the banks were in better condition
or secure the money in some way from
