Considerable interest has been aroused
among the government officials at Wash
ington by the suggestion of Mr. Edward
Atkinson, OF Boston. that banks NAV is
sue certificates of deposit which NAV cir
culate like bank notes. 1t is believed
that the ten per cent. tax on the circula-
tion OF State banks could not be made to
apply to such certificates of deposit. A
Washington correspondent of the New
York journal of Commerce saws how.
ever, that the chief interest aroused in
Washington by the proposition, is not SO
much over its practical application un-
der existing conditions as the vantage
ground which it gives the advocates of a
banking currency in seeking a reform of
existing legislation. The situation has
heretofore been that the believers in the
National banking system and a govern
ment paper currency have been able to
rest upon existing statutes and calmly
defy the friends of more scientific cur
rency system to get it enacted. If it is
once made clear that existing statutes
open the way for an indefinite expansion
OF the currency, without any limit of law
upon the character of the institutions or
individuals putting it in circulation, the
friends of the present system as it has
been previously interpreted will have to
appear as suitors before Congress for new
restrictive legislation. An example re-
Gently tried in Austro-Hungary offers a
suggestion as to the possibility of using
certificates of deposit The Imperial Bank
of Austro-Hungary is restricted in its
circulation in manner not unlike the
Bank of England, and the withdrawal of
the government paper money in advance
OF the free circulation of gold has led to a
contraction of the circulating medium.
The Imperial Bank is the only institu-
tion authorized by law to issue circulat-
ing notes, but the Hungarian Bank of
Commerce and Industry has worked out
a plan for issuing check books containing
coupons for even amounts payable to
bearer and capable of general circulation.
The savings banks have heretofore issued
bonds, but their minimum value has
been 100 fiorins (s50). The Bank of Com
merce and Industry proposes to issue
these negotiable checks or certificates in
sums as small as twenty crowns (S4).
The Bank pays interest on deposits, but
the interest will not be. computed until
the presentation of the certificates for
redemption and will be credited to the
depositor rather than to the holder of the
check. Of course it is plain that such a
system of currency would be unsatisfac-
tory and troublesome, possessing many
of the worst features of the old State
bank system. Our government would
probably endeavor to suppress the use
of such certificates, and it is quite likely
that in the whole range of statutes,
some authority would be found for such
suppression.

The report that the fur seals have near
ly disappeared in Behring Sea cannot be
wholly unexpected The United States
has found it impossible, without war, to
stop pelagic sealing by the hunters of
British Columbia The court of arbitra-
tion decided against US really, and left
the protection of the seals to an unsatis-
factory arrangement of international
patrol Before we purchased Alaska and
its islands Of Russia in 1868, the catching
of these seals I'd been under control of
the Russia lur Company. Although
their methods were primitive and waste
fu !, they made great deal of money, al
though the supply was considerably de-
pleted When Alaska was turned over
to this country. the Alaska Commercial
Company was organized and leased the
two islands, St. Paul and ST. George
where the seals of Behring Sea made
their homes. This lease was dated in
1859, and lasted until 1889. The price of
the lease per year was $500, 600, and it
was stipulated that the company might
take 100, 600 skins yearly. There were
other stipulations made with view of
preserving the herds. Under these wise
regulations the seal islands were growing
more valuable. But cloud of trouble
had begun TO appear. From immemorial
time the Indians of British Columbia had
gone out in their canoes and speared the
seals on the waters, in those seasons of
the year when the animal was not resort
ing to the breeding islands AS British
Columbia began to be settled the Indians
taught the trick to the whites; and as
the Canadian Pacific carried new life in
to the British Columbia coast, schooners
began to be substituted for canoes, and
the slaughter of seals on the water be-
came a profitable and extensive pursuit.
In 1890, however, the fear of harm to the
supply of SEALS was not so great as to de-
ter those who We're allured by the great
profits made by the Alaska Commercial
Company. The lease was opened to COM
petition, and the North American Fur
company obtained it, at u royalty
of $40 25 a skin, and the attempt was
then made to establish close time and
protect the seals by a joint patrol. The
result of this does not seem to have been
successful The seals of Berhring Sea are
disappearing, just as they disappeared
from the old South Pacific rookeries be-

Wherever any large number of people
are obliged to live together, whether they.
are college students or veteran soldiers at
a national home, there will surely be
some among the number who will cause
trouble, due to the fact that they are nat
ural grumblers, or born kickers. OF
course at the national home at Togus in
been, some of these natural grumblers
The two pamphlets that have been re-
Gently issued, and that have attracted
public attention somewhat, are manifes-
tations of the existence oftsuch grumblers
They criticise Gov. Stephenson ana the
management of the home SO severely that
the thing is overdon in the face of it.
But lest anybody should receive a wrong
impression it should be generally under
stood that these pamphlets, which are of
course anonymous, are the work of an ex-
member of the home, who is prompted by
two motives, the qualification of personal
spite and the fact that he is making a lit
tie profit by the sale of pamphlets to the
members of the home. The writer has
been a frequent visitor to the home and
knows what he is talking about when he
says that there is no foundation whatever
for these absurd complaints Talks with
the men themselves have caused him to
know that the general sentiment among
them is condemnatory towards these
pamphlets and their author.

This is not the first. time that Russia has
shown herself shrewd. When our country
was in trouble in the darkest days of the
Civil War, Russia's fieets which dropped
quietly into our harbors, put this nation

RELIGIOUS HALLUCINATIoN.
Hon Death of an Unbalanced
Woman Near Hancock.

Religious hellucinations have OF late so
affected the mind Of Amanda Barkman. q
woman residing near Hancock, on the Ches-
apeake and Ohio canal that day before
yesterday she met a. voluntary and hor-
rible death. under the impression that she
was doing commendable sacrifice to the
Lord. Stories of martyrs and their deaths
had taken such a hold upon her that she
resolved to die like one. and while alone
saturated her clothes with kerosene. stole
to an clubhouse and there set fire to her
clothes
Her sister, who had returned to lower
room Of the house. happened to glance out
toward the sheo and saw smoke issuing
therefrom. She suspected that the over
religious girl was In some manner con-
cerned there and hastened over. She saw
the door blockaded on the inside with wood
horses, old chairs and other thrown-asde
furniture Seeing an ak lying near. she
seized it and burst the door open forcibly.
The tenant Of the place was found. with
all her clothes burned from her body and
horribly baked by the flames. She was
dead in a few moments. The suicide was
forty-sx years old. She was the daugh-
throughout that section.
Miss Barkman had said several times
that she intended dying as she did.
