Bankers Should Be Allowed tt

Assets.

New YORK, Nov. IA special to
Ahe Herald from Washington says:
Enactment of the gold standard into
law and reform of the banking cur-
rency laws SO as to give the country d
more elastic bank note currency, will
be the leading recommendations of
Secretary Cages annual report. 5
When the secretary went before the
banking and currency committee of the
house of representatives early in the
present month and declared for the
enactment OF the gold standard into
law, he startled many of his party asso-
ciates. He stood his ground, however,
and has had the satisfaction of seeing
the rank and file of his party, with some
exceptions. come up to the standard
which he has planted.
In the same way the secretary will
now take advanced ground in favor of
bank reform and system of banking
which will allow banks to issue their
own notes to meet extraordinary de-
mands for currency.
The secretary believes that system
OF bank note issues can be devised
which will insure the safety of the note
holder and at the same time will not
endanger the safety of the money in
trusted to the banks by deposltors.

were surrounded in the hills by the
Beers, and after losing heavily obliged
to capitulate. General White adds
that the casualties have not yet been
ascertained.
The following is the text of General
Whites dispatch to the war Office, filed
at 1896 pm:
II have to report disaster to the
column sent by me to take a position on
hill to guard the left flank of the
troops. In these operations today, the
Royal Irish Fuslleers, No. 10 Mountain
battery, and the Gloucestershire regi-
ment were surrounded in the hills. and
after losing heavily, had to capitulate.
The casualties have not yet been ascer-
tanned.
Ask Assistance to Bury Dead.
"A man of the Fusiliers, employed as
hospital orderly, came in under flag
of truce, with letter from the survi-
vors Of the column, who asked for as
sistance to bury the dead. I fear there
is no doubt of the truth of the report.
II formed a plan, in the carrying out
Of which the disaster occurred. and I
am alone responsible for the plan.
There is no blame whatever to the
troops, as the position was untenable."
A later dispatch from General White
gives the names of the officers captured,
of whom there were II of the Irish Flu
siliers, 10 of the Gloucester regiment,
and of the battery.
Call It Staggering Blow.
While minor reverses were not wholly
unexpected. nothing like the stagger-
ing blow General Joubert delivered to
General Whites forces Monday was an
ticipated. The full extent of the dis
aster is not yet acknowled If it is
known at the war Office. The loss III
effective men must be appalling to a
general who is practically surrounded.
Two Of the finest British regiments and
amule battery deducted from the Lady
smith garrison weakens it about "a fifth
of its total strength and alters the
whole situation very materially in IA
vor Of the Beers, who have again shown
themselves stern fighters and military
stragegists Of no mean order. The
disaster cost the British from 1900 to
I 1000 men and six 7-pound screw guns,
and as the Boer. artillery is already
stronger than imagined, the capture OF
these guns will be a great help to the
Beers.
Further news must be awaited be-
