They Desire to Draw as Little Money as
Possible FROM tho Present nIarket-No
Trouble Anticipated.
New York, Aug. III. Harsen Rhoades,
chairman of the executive committee OF the
savings banks OF this State, explains
in an interview the action of the savings
banks in taking advantage Of the GO day
clause in paying depostors. Heis reported
as saying
'You see that the drain we have been
experiencing for the last two or three
weeks is still in force, and it shows how
timely and cxpedient was our decision.
Early in June / said the savings banks
were in good condition and would prob
ably soon be able To return their large cur
rency holdings But from that time on
the Withdrawals increased slowly, grad
ually from day to day. But they were so
steady and gained such volume that the
whole aspect OF things was changed The
start was not sudden and it took its rise
among the more intelligent depositors OF
large sums. That accounts for the gradual
character Of OF the growth of the disquiet.
They read the papers and became more and
more alarmed. But ut no time was there
any indication of n panicky feeling.
Mr. Rhoades added that the action OF
Friday was made necessary by the diff
Guilty OF getting currency from the down
town banks. He said that the savings
banks presidents had drawn as little as
possible on tho strained market. But the
drafts during the last week had reached
500 600 day at his bank. against an aver
age of deposits of 5000. Seeing that
this was hurting everybody, and that it
threatened TO make the savings banks
constant drain in present conditions, the
action was wise for all concerned
eve are we'll oil for cash now" he con
tinued, 'and though our policy has been
TO draw rs easily as possible on deposit
banks, we have plenty OF money on hand.
The amount is less than the usual cas- re-
serve about two-thirds), but is enough,
with the application of the GO-day rule, to
avoid any further drafts on the general
store of curreucy."

arms is prohibited. The difference be-
tween seal catching with firearms and
without firearms is the difference be-
tween fishing with nets and fishing with
rod and reel. Naval officers in Wash
ingtOn believe that the United States Is
the real victor so far as the practical ef-
fects of the decision go. This view is
not shared by prominent members of the
diplomatic branch of the government.
Secretary Gresham is said to be anything
but satisfied with the findings of the
court. 1t is understood that his views
are shared by other cabinet officers. The
United States and England will have the
cost and worry of patroling Behring Sea
without benefit to their Sealers, while
Russia, Japan and perhaps other nations
reap harvest. The Ottawa government
thinks: ut is gratifying that the Behring
Sea award is adverse to the United
States claim of exclusive Jurisdiction.
Never theless in the protected zone
around the Pribyloff Islands the Ameri-
cans have really gained the main point,
as far as Canadian sealers are concerned.
Practically all the best sealing is done on
the Pribyloff Islands. These belong to

THE CHAMPLAIN SEA SERPENT AP-
PEARS.

Brer. Bixby adjusted his spectacles
last week and wrote the following. 1t
may be well to state that the Plattsburgh
Republican survived the shock and the
hot week cooled off Saturday night.
Here is what was printed: "a party of
Plattsburgh young men moving in good
social, legal and religious circles, camp
ing on Young's Island near Adams, had
a thrilling experience last Saturday
night. 1t was found necessary, during
the evening for some one to go across to
Adams for table supplies, in order to
save breaking the Sabbath. 1t was al
ready quite dark, and soon after crossing
the bar land let it be understood right
here that we allude now to a sand bar
which puts out from the northeast cor
ner of the island) the two boldest of the
party, who had volunteered to go across
saw dead ahead what they mistook, in
the cleaning, for an overturned boat.
They rowed up very cautiously towards
it, keeping their eyes directed well over
their shoulders. The object was black
colored, and its outlines were not very
distinct, merging mysteriously into the
fast increasing darkness, when suddenly,
as they came within few feet of it,
there was a mighty splash, throwing
water into the boat, and it was gone.
OF course it is impossible to tell how
large it was, but seventy or eighty feet
has been mentioned, which seems reason
able, remembering that for every visible
foot of an iceberg about five are sub
merged, and the prevailing opinion
among the party is thai it was the
Champlain sea serpent. To set at rest
all sinister surmises it is proper to state
that there is no bar on or about the is
land except the above mentioned sand
bar"

The DemocIa attic New York Sun and
the Evening Post both agree that read.
justment of wages is imperative. The
latter paper says: "This radical change,
after 80 years of the protective system,
involves complete readjustment of busl-
ness and of wages, as we'll as of values.
Necessarily some factories will close,
some mills will shut down and some
shops will work half time, while credits
will become contracted in those lines Of
business which have enjoyed the pro
lection to which the Democratic COnven-
ton of 1884 referred. For instance, the
silk manufacturer, who up to November
last considered himself protected by the
tariff of go per cent. on the product tf
American looms, will with the prospect
of a reduction to 80 per cent. ad valoren
be likely to diminish the measure of his
business, the number of hands he en-
ploys and the output he will throw upon
the market. But, on the other hand, tie
corner groceryman, who now sells ul-
taxed sugar to his customers for thdr
daily domestic use, will be in no hurry
to dispose of his stock if, as is indicate1,
there is to be 30 per cent, tariff on sl-
gar, which will enable him to chaTe
more pound for what he has,"

due to inmates of the various branches
National Home for disabled soldiers,

sions due to inmates of the several
branches of said Home shall be paid by
the pension agency in whose agency dis
trict said branch Home is located. 1t is
said at the Interior Department that this
order is in consequence of the high rate
of exchange between the Westerns towns
where very many of the Homes are To-
Gated and New York. 1t is expected
that the saving in exchange alone to the
several Homes will be approximately
$3.50 900 a year.
