MR.. REED IN WASHINGTON.

Boston, December A Washington
despatch to the Journal says:
Washington, Decem ber Speaker Reed
arrived in Washington yesterday after
noon. He is in splendid form, ready for
the session of Congress and prepared to
make it a short session, IL the. Senate will
consent. He is not mapping out any
programme of legislation, and from what
he says it is evident he does not expect
many measures of Importance to be en-
acted.
AS to currency legislation, he was re-
ticent, but repeated the remark OF New
York banker, who told him Thursday that
the best thing Congress could do In the
way of financial legislation would be to
make sure that the revenues Of the gov
ernment equalled Its expenditures. And
apother bank president. who was with
him. said the Speaker, endorsed what
he said"
Mr.. Reed said it would have to be de-
veloped whether the Dingley bill was 60
ing to provide immediate revenue enough.
If there were any doubt about 1t, the Re-
publican party would assume the respon-
sibility Of new legislation to tide over
the deficit. Mr.. Reed thought there was
good chance for a bankruptcy bill, but
beyond this he did not care to express
himself with regard to legislation.

TROOPS FOR KIAo cHAu.
German Force There Now Numbers Over
$500 Men.

Berlin, December 5.-When the German
panies Of marines, mum bering twenty
three officers and 1900 men and COM
pany of naval artillery numbering two
hundred men, arrive at Kiao Cnau bay,
for which point they will soon set out
they will bring the total German force
there up to 1866 men, the largest body
Germany has ever sent beyond European
waters. 1t is understood that the reserves
had to be drawn upon.
The admiralty denies that other
European squadrons have entered the
harbor at Kiao Chau to watch Germany's
proceedings and 1t is believed that Adj
miral Won Diedrich would protest vigor.
ously against such an attempt.
The Kolnische Zetung regards the ex-
petition as having a two fold aim, first
to obtain missionary reparation and
secondly to obtain Kaio Chau for pay
ment for past services rendered China by
Germany in connection with the conclu-
sion of peace with Japan.
There is much self-congratulation
among the Germans that the missionary
incident absoIves the government from
the tedious and perhaps abortive process
of diplomatically claiming q ooaling
station in the form of demand for q
treaty port OF settlement on perpetual
lease 1t is believed unnecessary to take
Great Britain into account as she Is over
occupied elsewhere, while Japan is not
likelysto resist the coalition of Germany,
Russia and France. This is the conten-
ton of the Kolnische Zeitung. At the
same time it says that. Germany will not
be led by the allurements Of France,
Russia or England to deviate from a
policy of moderation in China.

BANKS OF TnE COUNTRY.
Annual Report Of the Comptroller Of
Currency.
CALLS ATTENTION TO FLAWS IN
OUR BANKING LAWS.

Urges That Banks BE Allowed To Tssne
Notes For Full Amount of Their
Treasury Deposit-Number and Cona;-
tion of Banks.
Washington. December 5.-The annual
report of James H. Eokels, comptroller
of the currency, for the year ended
October 81, 1897, opens with review of
the history of the legislation which con-
stitutes the present national bank act,
and invites the attention of Congress to
amendments to the law recommended in
former reports without specifically repeal.
ing them.
On the subject Of bank note circulation
the comptroller says: "It Is notable that
in all the changes which have been
wrought in the national currency act
from its inception to the epresent time, the
feature subject to criticism, but which
as intended should constitute the prinoi-
pal benefits to be conferred, has remained
comparatively unchanged, namely, the
note issuing function. Whatever justifca-
tion there was in the first instance for re-
sJricting the issuing of notes against the
bonds of the government, deposited with
the treasury of the United States to ninety
per cent Of the par value thereof long
since ceased
In the report of every comptroller of the
currency during the past twenty years
the wisdom of changing the existing
laws. so that the banks, and through them
the communities in which located, might
have the additional benefit of an added
loanable capital has been urged. Despite
all this the law still remains without
amendment. Not only should the bank
act be amended in this particular, but
Congress should seriously consider such u
change in the method of bank note issues
as will enable the banks of the country
to more adequately meet the demands of
trade and commerce in all sections of the
country.
The total number Of national banks
organized since the date the first certifi-
cate of authority was issued on June 20,
1858. to the close Of the year just ended,
was 5,095. making an average for each
year of $50. On October /. last, there
were In active operation 36l7 banks
having an authorized capital stock OF
$50, ,230, 1896. The total outstanding circu
lation Of the banks then In operation was
1929, l99, $50, of which s2o2, 9e4, ,555,. was

not antsgonize the Hawaiian treaty with
it.
The first bill on the calendarssis Senator
Gears measure providing for tho adjust
ment of the Pacific debt, but the sale Of
tho Union Pacific will doubtless have the
effect of causing the temporary with
drawal of this bill and the substitution Of
others. Of the three hundred bills on the
calendar about two hundred are private
pension bills, and all of these probably
will be disposed of at one sitting when
taken up There are also several hundred
recess appointments to be considered in
executive session.
1t is not probable that much will be
done 1.-The way of legislation during the
present week. There will be an adjourn
ment for the day after receiving the mes
sage on Monday, and as there is no dis
position to press the Hawaiian matter
until the foreign relations committee
agre upon line of action, the indica-
tions now are that 1t will not be taken
up in the Senate before next week.
