We only regret being situated so
near the site of operations on the new
bank wall for one reason and that is
that very live skunk was disinterred
last week and took refuge under the
OPINION building, only to have death
meeted out to him there by dog that
showed very little regard for our feel
ings by so doing, and worse yet leaving
it there.

have a seating capacity of about 1000

Every effort will be made to begin

TELLER on CURRENCY REFORM.
The Outlook for Congressional Ac'
tion-The Cuban Question.

WASHINGTON. November zi.-When
asked to-day to give his opinion as to the
probability Of legislation affecting the
currency during the approaching session
OF Congress, Senator Teller. who has Just
reached the city. said:
II do not believe there will be any
legislation looking 10 the substitution OF
bank-notes for greenbacks and Treasury
notes, which appears 10 be the favorite
method OF currency reform, so-cailed,
advocated by the supporters Of the gold
standard. / think il very doubtful
whether the advocates OF the change can
agree upon the details of such legislation,
and bankers will naturally hesitate 10
increase the issue OF bank-notes in sum-
cient quantity to take the place OF the
entire volume OF greenbacks and Trea-
sury notes, especially in view OF the
fact that the redemption OF bank-notes
must, to satisfy the demands OF the cur
rency reformers, be In goid.'
Senator Teller said he considered IL
quite certain that the President would
make some recommendation upon the
currency problem to Congress, but he
was OF opinion that the suggestion would
be in general terms. as In his inaugural
message. and that the President would
leave the details TO Congress.
The Senator expressed doubt as 10

THE CHANNEL ISLANDS.
Denial That They Are to BE Given
Back to France.

LONDON, November A.-inquiry maze
to-day in official circles regarding the
statements contained In letter to the
Daily Graphic, of this city, that a report
had gained currency in the Channel Is
lands that Great Britain contemplated
ceding them to France, brought forth an
emphatic denial of the whole story, which
is classed as being nothing more than
"fairy tale"
According to the reports denied in the
foregoing Dispatch Great Britain was
going to give up the Channel Islands TO
France. to which country they originally
belonged, owing to the failure OF the
islanders TO bring the local militia up 10
the British War-Office requirements.
1t was added that as this force had al
ways been kept up to the standard re-
quired, the supposition was that the
Channel Islands were to be handed over
to France as the result of an under
standing between Great Britain and that
country. by which the former was to be
given free hand in Egypt, or in the
Niger territory.
