FROM the Boston Post of this morn
ing l read the following: Senator
hanna, Wolcott, Hoar, Jones an,
opooner were in London recently, it s.
happened that they all called on Am
oassador Choate, Salisbury and the GOV
ernor OF the Bank of England, all at thu
same time. Funny, isn't it? Hanna

committee, and Jones, chairman of the
democratic national committee, How
DO you like it, Democrats and Renuh,i-

In May last the Republican caucus
committee OF the house of representa-
yves met at Atlantic City and adopted
the following plan of financial legisla-

gold to be re-issued for gold only.
permitting national banks to issue
notes to the par value of their govern
ment bonds deposited in the treasury
instead of 80 per cent, as at present.
permitting the minimum. capital Of
national banks to be $25, 900 instead NJ
$4,000, as at present.
The national Bankers association !,
conference at Cleveland, Sept. 6, passed
resolutions as follows:
