Az the charter OF the Bank Of France
expires at the end Of the year the bill
for Its renewal is expected to come
before the French chamber almost any
day, and the Paris correspondent of the
Economist points out the remarkable
changes that have taken place In the
bill since 1t was first introduced In
1892. "originally the charter was to
be renewed for twenty-three years;
now 1t can be terminated by the gov
ernment at the end OF fifteen years.
The former bill required the bank to
pay to the state an annual contribu-
tion of 2.5O0.000 francs from the COM
mencement of 1898; the new bill fixes
the contribution at one-eighth Of the
rate Of discount on the average pro-
ductive note circulation, or the amount
of discounts and loans on securities.
In addition to the stipulation that the
existing advances of 140.000,0o0 francs
to the treasury shall cease to bear In
terest, the bank Is to advance fur
ther 100000 francs. also without in
terest, and 1t cannot demand repay
ment before the expiration OF Its
charter. The note circulation, which
was originally to be raised to 100000
900, Is now to be Increased to the enor-
nous amount Of f20o. .000. 900, and there
are other less important changes which
It is unnecessary to specify"

Ed. Telegram:-I came to this
place as Mr.. Lynch's foreman,
expecting to open quarry be.

the mouth of Brushy Fork. But
as Mr.. Lynch did not do the work
and as Mr.. Davis is expecting to
furnish the rock for the bridge
on the Short Line r. R, he de.
cided to open the quarry. So
today we put off the first blast,
using nine (9) kegs of powder
and six (6) sticks of dynamite.
1t lifted about SO feet in length,
and the quarry is 80 feet deep,
moving about 500 yards of stone.
l have worked in Is States and
three Territories, but this is
among the finest quarries of sand
stone l ever saw. A part of 1T is
light gray and part of it a fine
blue, which is equally as good or
superior to Brear sandstone of
Cleveland, Ohio. which I think is
the standard sandstone of the
United States.
The quarry is entirely free
from seams, checks and also free
from ali foreign substances and
discolorations.
