TREASON FOR DRINK.
How Frenchman and a German For
swore Their Native Land.


William Berg, the great German
traveller, Is an enthusiastic admirer of
Emperor William, whom he closely re-
sembles, says the San Francisco News
Letter. Mr.. Berg, nevertheless, is on
terms Of intimacy with Mr.. John Ber-
gez, who was born within q stones
throw of the Column Vendome One
day both these gentlemen were fishing
in the lagoon in Marin county. Mr. Ber-
geZ had toiled long and successfully and
was sorely athirst. He had forgotten
his flask, a lapse of memory of which
the Gallo angler is rarely guilty.
Berg, give me drink" shouted
Mr.. Bergez across the lake Mr.. Berg
obligingly strolled round the lake, and
approached Mr.. Bergez, flask in hand.
Thanks, said the Frenchman.
Hold" said the German traveller,
retaining the flask in his muscular grasp.

MIR. Berg looked appealingly at the
stern Teuton. He saw there was no re-

Drink to the emperor, enjoined
Mr.. Berg solemnly, and the toast was

A few nights after MI. Berg was din

fectionately, and extended his glass with

Bergez coldly. Which is the greatest
country in Europe, Mr.. Berg?'
There was moments painful pause,
during which the Gaul passed the bottle
under the travellers nose.
France, muttered MIR. Berg, unable
to resist the bouquet of the vintage.
And so the tricolor was avenged.

EXPLAINS THE BANK STATEMENT.
Does Not Include Business of Last
Dnys of the Week.

Days of the Week.
NEW YORK, Nov. THE New York
Financier says this week: THE statement
of the clearing house banks for the week
ending November Z, covering but five days,
is chiefly valuable as a record of the furry
preceding election. The statement is sup
posed to cover the business of the week only
up to Thursday, and as a holiday INTERVIEWED
it is very evident that the recovery which
has taken place since the election Is not
shown in tho totals. For instance, II is
Known that several millions in specie have
been redeposted with banks, and the gold
is now in the clearing house vaults, al
though the statement shows only slight
expansion in specie. II does not seem
reasonable either, in the face of rapidly
rising and active stock market such as
marked last week, to look for a shrinkage
in loans amounting to Si,O7O.IOO, which the
statement shows. The rapid fall in call
money and the competition between banks
for offerings since Tuesday is another evil
dence that banks are not decreasing loans
and it is still little effort to look for Voun-
tary payments of obligations due 10 banks.
The condition of the banks at the actual
close of business Saturday was, of course,
better than the statement indicated, and be
ginning with next week the expansion which
set in after November will be fully re-
hected The boarded gold now pouring into
the banks is bringing the clearing house
vault balances toward the Stv'Vu''Vu" ma,
and there seems to be no doubt that the
banks will soon resume the settlement of
balances in gold coin. The banks, in fact,
will probably show large gains in gold be
fore the treasury reserve, since the
specie will find its way into bank
vaults, and thence to the treasury.
Next weeks statements ought to
make a very interesting showing in all items,
as the clearing house institutions for the
first time in months, will probably be able
to maintain their reserves uniformly above
the rs per cent limit"

and No More Bond Issues.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Mark Hanna has
given to the New York World the follow
ing outline of what he understands to be
President-elect McKinley's general policy:
81 have had but comparatively brief con-
versations with Major Mckinley since his
election. Next week | expect TO meet him
at Cleveland, and as he has had time to
think over matters, l presume he will have
more details than l am at present aware OF.
But this much know, he feels that he owes
much to the patriotic democrats who prefer
principle to strict party ties. Indiana, for
instance, was unquestonably carried against
fusion democratic votes. He recognizes the
very great service performed by democratic
and independent newspapers during the cam
paign.
Major Mckinley will endeavor to see col
lected great national party that will give
prosperity to the country. He expects and
hopes that men of all shades of former
political belief will be united to this party.
have talked with some of the most iniiu-
entail of the old democratic leaders. and
am glad to say they are in accord with
Major McKinley's hopes
1.-The first movement he will make will be
to obtain sufficient revenue to conduct the
government. Further issues of bonds would
be altogether too dangerous. Business pros
perity and stability demand that as soon
as possible the government should be on
paying basis. To this end an eN-
ira session of congress will be
necessary and President Mckinley will
undoubtedly call one soon after his
inauguration Legislation will be required
10 secure the desired revenue and Mr.. Nc
Kinley will do everything in his power to
secure 1t. as well as the legal establishment
of policy which will tend to put every
body at work. In all this he hopes and eN-
poets that he will be backed by patriotic
men, regardless of parry lines.
AS for myself. am not after any office
and will endeavor to attend to private bust
ness affairs which need my personal super
vision"
Asked what democrats of note he had
talked with ON the subject of the future
Mr. Hanna said: Il do not wish to name
them all but | may mention Messrs. w. c,
