LONDON, Nov. 2O.-In its financial
article this morning the Times, assum-
ing that the American currency system
is to be reformed, applauds the decision
Of tho New York banks to provide sub.
scrlbers to tho new loan with gold.
Tho Times adds that it will be serious
matter, however, II their forecast proves
wrong, for the banks will then have
parted with their metallic reserve with
out improving tho situation, for it ls
useless to truat in II possible improve
ment in tho economic situation to pro-
vido the treasury with gold. 1t is not
a question OF business or craftsmanship.
Everything depends upon the establish
ueRt OF sound currency system.

KANSAS CRY, Now 10.-The argument
on the application made by W. 7. Jami-
son for an injunction to prevent J. U.
Bremmerman from accepting COM
mission as prosecuting attorney Of Jack
son county, was heard before Judge
Henry in the circuit court to-day. The
grounds for asking such action by the
court are that Bremmerman's certificate
was issued on the strength OF forgery Of
the election returns. Judge Henry re-
fused to grant the injunction. The
proceeding, he said, was novel one.
The court was asked to decide which
OF the two contestants should be the
plaintiff in a contest. No court had
ever gone as far as that. He suggested
that the plaintiffs bring mandamas pro-
ceedings to compel the canvassers to re-.
canvass the vote. In the course OF his
opinion Judge Henry said: 81 will go as
far as any man to prevent or punish
