held for the redemp tion OF the notsa OF insol-
vent banks. This scheme. however. would
make the sound banks guarantors for tho
unsound ones. and for that reason no sound
bank could be expected to participate in It.
1t 10 also overlooked that II 1t 10 wise and
prudent to require banks to hold a lawful
money reserve OF rs per cent. against their
deposits 1t would be unwise and impruden not
to require from them an equal reserve against
their circulating notes. IL those notes are not
to be secured by Government bonds. bank
note, like bank deposit, Is payable on demand.
and 1t Is quite as important for a bank to
be prepared to pay IL on demand as It 10
to be prepared to pay the checks OF its deposi-
tors Hence an issue OF bank notes at the har-
vest season would relieve the strain upon bank
reserves by only rs per cent. Of their amount
and the contraction OF reserves to the extent
OF the other 25 per cent. would. to that extent.
be as miSchievouS as a contraction for any
other reason.
Moreover the scheme would avail only to
avert the contraction caused by tho demand
for currency for crop-moving Against con-
traction resulting from the operations OF tho
United States Treasury and from demands
for gold to pay debts due in Europe it would be
futile. Our creditors abroad. at least, would
not accept bank notes in payment Of their
claims, because they could not in turn use
OF the Bank OF England. which are conleSsedly
as good as gold. and pass as such. all over the
world are OF no use here, and it would bO
absurd to expect that the notes OF our banks
should be better received in Europe. II.
indeed. they were made BY law legal tender
money In this country AS the Bank OF England
notes are In Great Britain. they might Nil the
vacancy caused by the export OF gold. hut no.
body yet has had the hardihood to propose SO
radical an innovation.
That tho issue OF notes by banks upon the
security only OF their own assets. even with
tho addition OF a guarantee fund. would be
productive OF many abuses and be made the
means OF defraudinE the public. our past
experience abundantly proves. Granted that
sound banks like those OF Now York and other
great cities can be depended upon to keep their
circulation within bounds and redeem 1t under
ali conditions. the Same cannot be said OF the
mum berless little country banks to which their
circulation would be the chief source Of their
income The country would DO flooded with
money OF doubtful value, selling at discount.

CAPE NOME DISTRICT.
Hundreds Are Washing Out
From SO to $3.50 Per Day.

Washington, Sept. 2O.-Gen. Shafter
has sent to the war department copy
of a dispatch which he has received
from Major P. H. Ray. It is dated Fort
St Michael, August 81, and is as fol-
lows:
Il find at Anvil and along the beach
between 5000 and $500 people Fully
$500 of the people will be compelled to
leave there before the close of naviga-
ton owing to lack of fuel and shelter
From all I can learn here there will be
but three steamers here to return be-
fore the season closes. Unless the peo-
pie can get away there will be great
suffering and probable loss of life which
it viii be impossible to ameliOrate. As
a rule all have plenty of money to pay
their passage. I therefore suggest that
the transportation companies be warn
ed of the condition of affairs and that
the treasury department be requested
to order cutters there as late as pos
sible to meet any emergency. The Cape
Nome district is one of the richest dis
covered in our country and will rival
theeKlondfke. The beach washing is a
godsend to the destitute stranded here.
There are from 500 to ]. coo people alons 3
the beach and they are taking out from
so to $3.50 per day per man with rock
ers. The gulch district is as yet not
fully developed but shows great rich
ness wherever worked. I look for the
greatest results next season. VIII make

DREYFUS is FREE.
Released From Prison at Three
O'Clock This Morning.
Proceeded to Vern, Where lie
Took a Train
BOUND FOR NANTES.
His Departure Was Conducted
So Secretly
That 1t Was UnnOticed by the
People of Rennes.

Rennes, France, Sept 20.-Captain Al
fred Dreyfus at O'Clock this morning
left the prison here in which he had
been confined since his return from
Devils Island and proceeded to Vern.
where he took train bound for Nantes
His departure was completely unno-
ticed.
NJ. Viguie, the chief of the secret SER
vice and the prefect NJ. Dureault. ar
rived at the prison after midnight,
bringing the minister of wars order for
the release OF Dreyfus. The latter
walked from the prison to the Boule-
ward LIE Enne, where he entered
waiting carriage and was driven to the
Vern station. outside the town. Ma
thieu Dreyfus met him at the train and
accompanied him to Nantes.
While this dramatic turn in the
Dreyfus drama was taking place all
Rennes slept and the departure of the
famous prisoner of Devils Island was
no more noticed than that of an ordin-
ary traveller.
The carriage which was in waiting
was the same vehicle which took Drey-
fus to his prison when he returned
from Devils Island. Dreyfus got in
opposite the house where Maitre La
bori had stayed previous to the at
tempt upon his life and alighted about
500 yards from the station and walked
in regardless of the drizzling rain The
Nantes train came in just as he ar
rived. Alfred and Matthew Dreyfus
quickly took their seats and the train
went out of Rennes bearing Dreyfus
away, a free man.
A small crowd of people had waited
around the prison until midnight, e1-
pecting the release of Dreyfus, but IL
| then dispersed thinking it was too late
for Dreyfus to leave.
Nine Dreyfus left Rennes at noon.
| accompanied by her father and friends.

in the surrender of NJ. Guerin. resem-
bled the yard of a cavalry barracks
One narrow lane was completely filled
by detachment of municipal horse
guards, the horses closely packed side
by side from one end of the lane to the
other. Carbines were slung from the
saddles, while the troopers stood at the
heads of the horses holding brides.
The municipal guards belong to the
best cavalry in the world. being all fine
men, with magnificent steeds-
Looking up the street, a fantastic
view was presented. The yeIowish
flame of the gas lamps attached to the
walls of the houses was just strong
enough to show up the long, unequal
line of polished brass helmets and the
outlines of the shifting forms of the
trooDers as tired with the long wait
they moved from side to side. This i'm
posing force of cavalry was intended to
cope with any movement to in
terfere with the police arrangements,
or attempt to rescue NJ. Guerin.
At 5 a. m, NJ. Guerin appeared at a
window and asked an hours respite to
make up his mind, declaring that he
would surrender then if his friends Were
not arrested. At 4 o'clock a captain of
the guards raped at the door. NJ.
Guerin was the last to leave the house.
The police had a dozen open cabs all
ready for the reception of the garrison.
NJ Guerin was driven rapidly away by
the least crowded approach to the Rue
de Chabrole. Not a cry was raised, and
there was no demonstration.
NJ. Guerin was taken to the Central
depot in the Palais de Justice. situated
on the lie de La Cite, in the center of
the Seine. Then the weary troops
marched off. The officers gave orders
to the cavalrymen, who mounted their
horses and trotted away. Then fol-
lowed the firemen in wagons, with
their engines and fire escapes, and soon
only a small detachment of municipal
foot guards and Gordon of policemen
enveloped in hooded cloaks remained in
the immediate vicinity of the fort.
The majority of the crowd We're at the
opposite end of the street from which
NJ. Guerin and his companions We're
driven away and the first intimation
these sight-seers had that Fort Cha
brole had surrendered was the with
drawaI of the troops and guards. The
exclamation was heard on all sides;
why they have surrendered like sheep.
What a fasco,' and the crowd cheated
out of the anticipated stOrning of the
fort by water and fire dispersed, laugh
ing at the expense of the government,
which had taken six weeks to accom-
plish what with a little determination
might have been done the first day and
exchanging sarcastic comments on the
chicken hearted conduct of NJ Guerin
and his garrison. who they had fondly
hoped would make a spirited resistance.
