THAT ONE-FIFTH RESERVE
Calls Forth a Protest From Lon-
 don Clearing House.
WILL THE GOVERNOR RENlG?
Is to Be Seen--Has Authority of Parliament in Issuing the Order and Ii Is
 Entirely Regular

London, Sept 23.-The protest which the London bankers drew up at their meeting in the clearing house yesterday against the policy of the government of the Bank of England in announcing it's willingness to maintain one-ffth of it's bullion reserve in silver was pre- sented. to the bank today. The sresolu- ton is accompanied by formal letter in the name of the Clearing House asso- ciatfon. Although all the members were not represented at the meeting, ma jority of the membership was repre- sented and unanimously adopted the resolutions, which are as follows:
 That this meeting entirely disapproyes of the Bank of England agreeing to exer- else the option permitted by act of 1S49 for holding one-fifth or any. proportion whatever of silver as reserve against the circulation of the Bank of England notes.
 An organized movement has been be- gun to induce other commercial bodies to protest against the announcement of the government of the Bank of Eng land.
 A high official who was a participant in the negotiations between the United States bimetallic commission and the British cabinet, said today to repre- sentative of the Associated Press:
 I fear the bankers will frighten the government into receding from their stand for bimetallism. They have for gotten that parliament recently adopted measure to secure a stable par of ex- change between gold and silver, and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, pledged himself to do all in his power to carry the resolution into effect. The English public have forgotten also that ten of the fourteen members of the agricultural commis- sion signed a report recommending bi- mettallism as a palliative for agricul- tural depression in England. The public and the newspapers seem to think the government is influenced merely by an attempt to secure the good will of the United States, when it is attempting to carry out a policy of parliament.

of the free coinage of silver, he held that the country ls ready and willing to ac- cept bimetallism by international agree ment. It should not wait for the con curreace of any foreign nation but should lead in the matter. It should not per init any foreign nation to dictate a poli- cy in regard to the matter.

There was an advance of $1 yesterday in the local tobacco mar keh and a further advance of 50 cents today. Reports from other sections of Kentucky are that the crop has bevn seriously damaged.

suits Filed TO Test the Validity OF the Mis-
souri, Law Authorizing It.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. S.--The collateral
succession tax" a revenue-raising
measure for the benefit of the state
university at Columbia, is to be sub
jected to legal scrutiny. The first
step in the fray began yesterday, ex-
Gov. William ]. Stone taking the ini-
tiative. The latter represents the
board of curators of the state univer-
sity. City Assessor A. H. Frederick
also appeared in court, and asked
Judge Rassieur to fix the valuation on
property in over 400 estates and assess
taxes against them. The law provides
that five per cent tax be levied on
the property received by all collateral
heirs, which embraces heirs not di-
rectly in line with the testators, for
the benefit of the state university.
The law is thought by some to be un-
constitutional, and a fight will be
made against its enforcement.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 8.-Not a case
of yellow fever has been reported
here since the death of Raoul Gelpi.
The house where the boy died has been
thoroughly fumigated and the family
quarantined. 1t has been decided not
to stop the mails for Ocean Springs
Before and other infected points A
complete inspection camp has been es-
tablished near here and other precau-
tions have been taken. No panic has
occurred here.
Only one death, with no new cases,
has been reported at Ocean Springs
since Monday, but the place is cut off
from the world and the supply of ice
and medicines is running low. No
further cases have been reported at
other points. The raising of the quar-
antine against Bay st. Louis and the
pass has the effect of driving hundreds
into the city, not because they fear
the fever, but because they did not
care to be held in those places indef-
nitely if sporadic cases of fever should
appear.
