3 WASHINGTON, d. c., September IA
Especially THE deep concern which Presi-
dent Mckinley feels In the approaching
Ohio campaign is not disguised by his
friends. Oficeholdcrs in Washington
have already received the tip to work
in earnest, and Seeretary-of-state Hay
leads of with an appeal 10 support the
President" Secretary Hay IS not good
mixer with voters Very wisely, he de-
olined the invitation 10 go to Ohio and
help open the Republican campaign. lie
S. a millionaire several times over. hav-
sng secured boundless fortune by mar
riage into the family Of the late Amasa
stone. an Ohio iron magnate. The spec
tacle Of Hay, the millionaire, appealing
10 laborers to aid 80 keeping him and the
entire Ohio outfit in office four years
moro would not strike q responsive. chord
and, therefore, he writes his request, AT
long distancc-frOm his summer cottage
a. New Hampshire.
There are some Rlaring inaccuracies in
Secretary Hays statement, but none
more so than his declaration that we
did not seek the Qsland) acquisitions;
they came 10 US through the irresistible
logic OF war" The outside world does
not share this view, for several South
and Central American States are already
feeling alarmed over the imperialistic
tendencies Of the administration.
HAY NOT INFORMED.
Secretary Hay. though in New Eng
land, is presumed 10 know of al imp0r-
tant matters being discussed In his de-
hui 10 Az
letter was written the state Department
had under consideration, with no little
anxiety information that The States OF
Central and South America were forming
a defensive combination against the
United States. The cause Tor this IS
very wen known. These republics are
looking with alarm upon the new policy
OF imperialism which they believe is at
work TO suppress the Ftlipinos in the
East. and fear that in turn their indie
pendent governments will become the
target Of Ike benevolent assimilation
The SecIetarys letter H. commented
upon In very unfavOrable terms. Republic
cans excuse it on the ground that Mr..
Hay is not a politician, and probably
wrote hastily, one of them Iemarking:
His reference to the silver issue was
scarcely fortunate. His statement that
the shout for lG to ] is like wisdom cry
ing I'm the street while somewhat face
tious is not a convincing statement, nor
q direct method of treating such Ques-
ton"
So little was the letter esteemed that
St Is omitted entirely in many eastern
papers.
no MORE CASH FOR NEW YORK.
Secretary Gage, of the Treasury. has
declined to deposit any more Of Uncle
Sans cash in the New York national
hanks. as ne was urged to-day 90 90
There was a slump in the stock market
to-day, and while it was due, probably,

derbnt. It was claimed by the bankers
that tightness Of money caused IT, lie
Treasury Department has on deposit IN
banks throughout the country SozJ0OJl !
and Of this S27OoO.OoO is in New York.
It seems that the national banks nave
loaned out very close TO the p per cent
reserve limit, ana the demand for ready
money continues strong, per cent. being
obtained tor call cash. Less than two
years ago ~ per cent was paid for lie
came thing Secretary Gage takes the
position that the bankers have learned a
lesson not to be too lavish with their
loans, and that a tight money market Is
n pretty good thing once in awhile.
