New Currency Desired In Kansas.

Topeka Dispatch to st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Bank Commissioner Breidenthal has in
augurated movement to rid the state of
mutiateI and filthy currency. He says in
Il circular sent out today:
I'm examining banks throughout the
state the fact is developed that large
amount of r.utilated and filthy currency is
held by them. This currency is wholly I'M
fit for circulation, and if paid out by banks
is Immediately returned to Them 1t is
well understood that the treasury at Wash
ington will redeem all such currency with
new bills. but banks often neglect to avail
themselves of this privilege, owing to eX-
pense and bother incident thereto. The
state should be rid of this class of cur
rency, and if a number of banks at such
points as Kansas City, St. Joseph, Topeka
and Wichita would asree to receive same
and issue their cashiers checks therefor at
q nominal charge, or without charge if
they are inclined to become public bene-
factors, it would lin a very short time re-
suit in repla cling all such currency with
new, clean bills and at the same time avoid
danger to the public health.

London, Feb. :l.-The Pekin corre-

has agreed to open all her inland waters
TO navigation by steamers. whether for
eign or native. under regulations to be
framed subsequently. If not restricted
by these regulations the agreement,
which Is TO come into operation within
four months. is satisfactory and prom
ises a wide expansion of foreign trade
China has also undertaken TO open one
treaty port in the province of Human
within two years. and proposes Yo-
Chau. near the Yang Tse-Kiang, on the
border OF the province.
The tsung-li-yamen's reason for the
delay in opening is that the central au.
thority as present is powerless to en-
force the immediate opening Of any por

foreigners there. China has giver
Great Britain satisfactory assurance:
