AN OPINION oVERRULED.
Solicitor General Reeves Decision on Coun-
ties Putting Out Currency Nullifiei.

SOlicttOr-General Reeves Decision on COun-
ties Putting Out Currency NuIliiiei.
WASHINGTON, Oct l6,-Solicitor-Gen-
eral Reeves opinion that counties have
the right to put out currency without
coming under the operation of the 10
per cent. tax has been nullifed. Mr.,
Reeves did not find counties specific
ally mentioned as coming under the
tax, and, therefore, concluded that the
law would not apply to them.
Secretary Carlisle, when his atten-
ton was called to tho subject, said
counties were certainly corporations.
Corporations are forbidden by the law
to issue currency save as subject to the
tax. States are prohibited from issuing
money, and 1t naturally follows that
parts Of states, such as counties, come
under the prohibition. II any county,
relying upon Mr., Reeves opinion, goes
into the money issuing business, 1t will
receive very prompt attention from the
United States authorities.

NOTABLE DECISION.
Tho Treasury solicitor Says Counties CO
Issue Bonds for Circulation.

Issue Bonds Tor CtrculAtiOn.
WAsHsaToS, Oct. l5-An important
financial decision has been given by
the solicitor Of the treasury. 1t is in
response to an inquiry whether coun.
ties may lawfully issue bonds Of low
denominations that can be used for cir
culation. The request for information
came from Floyd county, Ga, in let.
ter addressed to the comptroller Of the
currency, and signed by R. G. Clark, a
banker Of Rome, Of the same state.
Mr.. Clark stated that the county COM
missioners Of Floyd county propose to
issue certain amount Of county bonds,
bearing low rate Of interest, in de-
nominations Of IS, so and $50. One Of
the purposes in view in issuing these
bonds was the intention Of using the
same as local currency. Mr.. Clark in
CURED whether such action would con-
aict in any way with the United States
banking laws. The solicitor Of the
treasury, Mr.. Felix A. Reeves to
whom the letter was referred by Secre-
tary Carlisle, advised the secretary that
no statute Of the United States pro-
hibts the issue Of county bonds in any
denomination. According to Mr.. Reeves
any county has right to issue bonds
when not In contravention to the con-
stitution OF the state. As to the state
bank tax OF 1876, Mr.. Reeves says that
the word county Is not enumerated
among the corporations, persons, firms,
associations, state banks or state bank
ing associations, and, therefore, coun-
ty bonds are not subject to the 10 per
cent. tax. Mr.. Reeves also held that
the word notes" could not be regard
ed as including county bonds, and he
was, therefore Of the opinion the pro-
posed issue Of county bonds would not
be taxable under the federal statutes,

TREASURY OFFICERS ALARMED
The Outflow of Gold to Europe Has Begun
and Causes Uneasiness,


WASHINGTON, Oct. l6.-United States
Treasurer Morgan yesterday received
a telegram from Treasurer Jordan, at
New York, stating that $780, in gold
had been withdrawn from the sub
treasury for export, This Is the first
withdrawal Of any Importance that
has been made since August 8, and the
news had a disquieting effect among
treasury officials. 1t is not, how
ever, wholly unequipped. During the
first week in August the gold reserve
had been reduced to a little below
s5s, 100000 At the time the export
season had run It's course and small
gains from day to day at length
brought the reserve up to over $50, 900,
900. Treasury officials differ some
what as to the cause of this apparent
export revival.
