CHICAGO BANKS WANT MONEY.
Raise Interest ON Balances From Ia
to Per Cent.

CHICAGO, September 29.-James B. For
gan, vice president of the First National
Bank, says that an agreement has been
reached by practically all the banks OF
Chicago, both national and state, to pay
per cent on bank balances from October l
until further united action Of the banks
parties to the agreement
"A year and a half ago." Mr.. Forgan
said, NEARLY all the Chicago banks enter
ed into an agreement to pay "a per cent
on bank balances. Recently L sent out
through the clearing houses form of
agreement to pay per cent after Octo-
Der l. Today l received a notice that this
had been signed by practically all the
banks in Chicago, to remain effective until
otherwise decided by united action. This 1
regard an excellent sign of prosperity"
E. 8. Lacy, president of the Chicago
Clearing House and of the Bankers Ma
tional Bank. said:
THE matter of raising the interest on
balances has been discussed. This talk has
developed from the fact that the interest
paid for the of money is near 5
per cent. and some banks in other cities
paying high rates of interest, the rate
in New York being as high as 2 per cent.
The conditions in the money market may
not, however, remain constant, and those
that are aware Of this fact are averse to
any hasty action being taken. The pro-
rosal would have no effect upon city depos-
itOrS.'

CIVIL GOVERNOR IN CUBA
First Step Toward Relinquishing the
Island.
Gen. Brooke to Be Replaced - To-
days Cabinet Meeting-Recep-
ton to Dewey.

The important question Of placing a civil
governor in Cuba, thereby displacing Gen.
Brooke, Is under serious consideration by
the President. The question was talked of
for a few minutes at today's cabinet ses-
sion, and it is learned that the President
and Secretary Root have discussed the sub
ject for some time. The details OF such a
change have not been worked out, and may
not be made for short time. The subject
Of a civil government for Porto Rico and
Cuba was discussed at several cabinet ses-
sions more than month ago, but there
was no plan before the meeting. and the
ideas presented were those of the individual
members Of the cabinet, Secretary Root
leading in the expression of belief that
Porto Rico was ready for civil government
and Cuba would soon be ready. The mat
ter has progressed so far as now to amount
to a definite plan, with the proper ohclals
at work to shape this so as to put 1t into
effect at future date.
Unless there is a material change IN the
plan Gen. Brooke will shortly be succeed
ed by civil governor, this being the frst
step toward turning the island over to the
people The military governors OF the varl-
Gus provinces will remain for some time
after this experiment has been tried. In
the course Of time they too, will give way
to civil governors. There will also be
gradual withdrawal OF troops.
L
of Gen. Brooke has not been wholly salts
factory and that the President believes that
the earliest way to remedy this Is by es-
tablishing as full q form Of civil govern
ment as possible.
Packages From Soldiers.
Postmaster General Smith discussed the
question of small mail packages from the
soldiers in the Philippines to relatives and
friends in this country. The soldiers have
desired to send various mementoes and
trinkets to relatives and others, but nave
been stopped by the customs laws. 1T is
intended to make an arrangement where
by these packages will not be subject to
customs on supervision. They are to be
vouched for by officers and will be allowed
to come through the mails on the pay
ment of regular postage duties.
Reception to Dewey.
The reception to Admiral Dewey was dis
cussed and 1t was agreed that all the mem
bers of the cabinet would meet at the
White House at O'Clock Monday evening.
Admiral Dewey will proceed to the White
House at that time He will first be greet
ed by Secretary Long, who will introduce
him to the President Then the members
of the cabinet will meet the admiral, and
short time later the party Will go to the
stand near the Treasury to witness the pa
rade 1t was originally contemplated that
Admiral Dewey would go to the Navy De
partment to report to Secretary Long, ana
that they would go to the White House
together The plan now decided upon Will
simplify matters. it Is thought.
