New YORK, Oct, S.-Two of the large
western banks have just opened new
accounts In New York, supplementing
In both cases old accounts that have
been running for many years, but
which, in the current plethora OF
money, have grown so large that neither
the western banks nor the local corre-

new and second account OF this kind
would lead to acrimonious correspond

is done without any attempt at secresy.
Bank men hold that this means that

currency shipped from this time until

The report of declaration of war be-

A member Of the Cabinet, referring to
the reported declaration of war between
China and Japan, said to-day: There
are some facts relative 20 the strained re-
lations between China and Japan which
appear TO be imperfectly understood in
this country. The Japanese Government
is more progressive than the Japanese
people are. The Japanese Government
has sent young men to the United States.
to England and Europe generally, and
they have obtained education and have
made rapid advancement. japan is the
one country of the Orient which has as
sumed the manners OF our civilization.
The purpose of the present Government is
to lift Japan out of the beaten track of
the Oriental system and to mako that

could uu~~pbtedly overcome the Chinese
in battle on the sea. If such result
should follow, the prestige which the JAP
auese Government would secure at home
would enable it to overcome internal dis.
sensions. If war should ensue and the
Japanese should be victorious, undoubt.
edly the result would be to reconcile the
discontented masses in Japan to the pres
ent dynasty and probably to prevent q
revolt.
THE United States has been friendly to
Japan" continued the Cabinet officer. "It
it probable that our friendship, while il
has been OF great benefit to the Japanese
Government. may have been an injury SO
far as enabling it TO secure the absolute
control over the people of the empire is
concerned. There is a growing jealousy
there between the people and the Govern
ment, and it is due in part to the friend
ship which the japanese Government has,
not only toward the United States, but to-
ward other civilized powers.
IF there should be declaration of war
between China and Japan the result
would be awaited with interest. 1t is said
the United States Government rendered
its good offices to settle any disputes which
may have arisen between Japan and
China in the matter of Korea. There has
not been. as has been stated in the press.
any attempt on the part OF the present
administration of the United States to
take sides either with China or with
Japan. The only object has been, while
maintaining the friendship of this Gov
ernment toward both China and japan to
avert. if possible, by friendly mediation.
the threatened conflict between the two
countries.
"While it is probable that declaration
of war has not yet been made, it is also
probable that we may hear that war has
been declared at any day. The several
dispatches which originated in Japan are
written. [ understand. by a gentleman
named Hall. who is not newspaper man,
but is merchant, and who is conservative.
He would not be likely to have forwarded
to Europe and TO this country anything
which was merely sensational. If the alb
solute statement shall come from Japan
that war has been declared, or is likely to
be declared. think that it would have a
good foundation. even If the official dis
patches from the United States Minister
to the Government here should be de-
layed."
