MORE BANK CIRCULATION
National Banks Depositing Bonds in
Return for Notes.
Big Supply of Cash Needed During
the Season of Crop
Moving.

Since the New York banks found that the
Secretary of the Treasury does not propose
to adopt emergency measures to enable
them to keep a big supply of cash on hand
during crop-moving time the banks re-
sorting to the alternative the treasury de-
sires, and helping themselves They are
availing themselves of tEeir right under the
law to deposit United States bonds in the
treasury and receive additional amounts of
circulating notes
One bank today ordered 81 600, 900 worth
of circulation. The order was not accom-
panied by the bonds, but they will be forth
coming in due time, it is supposed, al
though i! by the time the notes are printed
the necessity for the increased circulation
should have passed the bank need not take
out all the notes. Three New York ma
uonal banks have sent in bonds for circula-
ton. one to the amount of $1UD 800 another
to the amount of S23D,tTho and another for
$4,000. Other applications are expected
Tney will receive notes in amount equai to
G per cent of the bonds deposited
Used as Working balance
The banks will use the circulation in
their working balance National bank
notes cannot be used as part of the re-
serve fund required by law, so the banks
will take money from the working bal
ance and put 1t into the reserve fund re-
nforcing the working balance with the
notes. In 1893 the banks ordered from the
Treasury Department s43,O00,Oo0 additional
circulation, although all of 1t was not
drawn out.
1t is said that the bureau Of engraving
will require from twenty-five to thirty
days to- print the notes. All the New York
national bank notes have a back of the
same design, and a large stock of backs is
usually kept on hand. 1t will be necessary
only to print the face of the notes. with
the special design and name of the banks
issuing them, the plates for which are al
ready engraved
1t is said at the Treasury Department
that the demand for additional circula ton
has not yet assumed an unusual form, as
there is always cal! for more circulation
in the season when the movement of the
crops takes a large cash balance to the
west and south.

French Council of Ministers Decides
to Extend Clemency.
WILL TAKE EFFECT IN 4 FEW DAYS
Action Was Decided on at Meeting
This Morning.
Nj. SCHEURER-KES ESTHER DEAD

PARIS. September 19.-The council of
ministers decided today to pardon Dreyfus
, on principle The pardon will take effect
In a few days. Dreyfus has relnquished
his appeal for a reversal of the Judgment
of the court-martial.
1t is said that Dreyfus will be sent
abroad before the PRONUNCIATION of his par
don in order to avoid demonstrations.
Announcement Received Quietly.
The announcement that Dreyfus to
be pardoned had already been discounted
by predictions, and there absolutely
excitement displayed anywhere along
the boulevards when the newsboys ran
along at about 3:1J pm. with the first
editions containing the statement that the
cabinet had decided to pardon Dreyfus.
The newspapers sold quickly, but there was
no rush for them upon the part of the
bOulevardierS.
Those who bought the papers sat down in
front of the cafes and read the announce
ment without comment. Every
pected it and the decision met with no
opposition.
The Droits elHomme, socialist, organ,
said:
our task remains the same after as be-
fore the liberation of Dreyfus. to continue
the campaign against all those who
responsible for the lamentable affair and
nesses, even though they may be covered
with glittering decorations.
Meaning of "in Principle.''
The phrase, ''in principle, used in the
wording of the announcement. is idiom
sometimes used in semi-official announce
ments of forthcoming action. 1t seems
to have but slight bearing the matter,
except perhaps. that it implies the fulfill
ment of various formalities before the par
don.
There is much remark here on the strange
coincidence of the death of NJ Scheurer-
kestner, the first champion of Dreyfus,
and to whom Dreyfus will virtually owe
his freedom, on the very day the cabinet
decided to pardon the prisoner

during that period force Of British in
fantry, numbering a little over 1900
had resisted the assaults of 10000 Rus
sians aided by the fire of nearly 100
guns! 1t was marvellous feat! But the
battle was not yet over. The Russian
general had still 1900 untouched
troops, sustained by the fire 100 guns,
which he could throw into the fight,
and he had only to show himself in pos
session of the English crest to bring
Prince Gortchakoff's 10000 men into the
fight. The resisting power OF the Brit
ish, too, was steadily shrinking. Many
of the men were utterly exhausted;
they had been on duty for the previous
twenty-four hours. The number of kill
ed and wounded, too, was dreadful. 1t
is true that on an average four Rus
slams had fallen for every English
man who was killed, result due large
ly to the superior penetrating power Of
the MIME rifle with which the British
were armed.
