HOWIsoy AND THE DEWEY PARADE
No One Believes Ho will Attempt to AS
sumo Sampson'a Functions.

WAsuIHGToN Sept. 1S-The amusing and
somewhat EN- barassing situation that may be
caused by the arrival OF Rear Admiral Howison
at New York In the flagship Chicago Just be-
fore Admiral Dewey reaches thoro 10 not CIV
ing any concern to the naval officials. according
to their own statement. Ono ofthem snid to-day
that tho fact that Rear Admiral Howl
son was senior TO Rear-Admiral Sampson
would not interfere with the desire OF tho
Government to have Sampson In command OF
tho feet which will welcome Dewey. Ho ex-
planned that there 10 a naval regulation which
fully covers such exigsncles. Under this reGu-
lation Sampson would be required to take
orders from Howison as long as the latter was
within signal distance. but Howison could
not assume Sampson'a functions in the
Dewey ceremonies without coming In
conflict with the Departments instruc-
lions to Sampson. He could not by
virtue OF his seniority. assume command
OF the welcoming squadron without being pre-
pared to make an explanation OF his action to
the Secretary OF tho Navy. The regulation
provides that where officer has received
specific instructions. senior officer with
whom he may be accidentally thrown must
make q written explanation to the Department
II he assumes the right to carry out the
instructions himself.

Is there and within signalling distance. 1 re-
quest perm Mission to carry out my special in
structons.' Howison will. OF course. grant the
request. and tho programme for Dewey's re-
cepton will proceed as arranged"
No one at the Department believes that Adj
mira Howison intends to exercise the right
conferred on him by bis seniority over Samp-
son. 1t Is the opinion in naval circles that he
merely wants to get to New York in time to
participate in the welcome to his old friend
Dewey without assuming n prominent part.
The Navy Department has not sent any direc-
tons to Admiral Howison To proceed TO Nor
folk or any other place. and has not thought OF
doing so. Hovison is now at Barbados on the

II happened that this bank had previously
ordered printed at tho Bureau OF Engraving
and Printing n quantity OF notes to be kept In
stock. and the application could therefore be
acted on immr lately. The notes were shipped
to-day. In tho cnses OF some of the banks
notes have not been ordered kent in stock and
the Treasury Department cannot. therefore.
supply them INSTANTLY. About twenty-five
days are required to prepare the plates. print
the notes and forward them to their destina-

Although many OF the New York banks have
avniled themselves extensively Of the privilege
OF issuing notes on their own account. there
are many large institutions that still have
large margin to spare. They are privileged
undor the law TO issue notes up to 80 per
cent. OF their deposits OF Government bonds in
