Manager Hanlon has at last determined
to place Jennings on first base, relieving

Interest on Per Cent. Bonds, Amounting
to S5, 500 ,B28, to Be Anticipated.

Interest on Per Cent. Bonds, Amounting
to o., $50, 500, to Bo Anticipated.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.-Ths Secretary OF the
Treasury announced this afternoon that the
October payments OF interest on 4 per cont.
bonds OF 1907 would be anticipated. The pay
ments. amounting to S5.553.526. will begin
Immediately. The action was taken in
view OF the present financial stringency
in New York, the Treasury administration
having taken note some days ago OF the
increasing tightness OF money In banking ctr
cles. as shown by the weekly city bank atate-
ments. Secretary Gage has been watching the
situation for several weeks. and although he
was reluctant to offer assistance unless the
situation should seriously call for 1t. he reached
the conclusion to-day that the Government
could render useful and legitimate service by
paving the October interest two or three weeks
ahead OF time. II was said Officially to-day
that in all probability the scheme OF Govern
ment relief would end hero. and that the funds
currently due to the Treasury on account Of
revenues and other obligations would not be
deposited in the banks. This form Of relief
had been suggested as n feasible and proper
ono. hut it is now believed that tho situation
will not call for any aid beyond the anticipa-
ton OF interest payments.
The statement was made at the Treasury
Department this afternoon that tho Secretary g
action was not based on any request from the
Now York bankers. for nothing had been heard
from them in the way OF petition for relief.
Assistant Secretary Vanderlip talked with q
number OF the bankers when he was In New
York last Saturday. however. and there was q
rather general expression OF opinion that the
money situation warranted some action by
the Secretary OF the Treasury. They realized
that the conditions were not alarming and that
as far as speculation was discouraged. the
closoness Of money was good thing. But the
bank statement Of Saturday. showing the re-
serves to be only about 81. 5000 above mini
mum limit prescribed BY law. was regarded
rather seriously. Mr.. Vanderbilt oame back to
Washington and had a talk with Secretary
Gage. which resulted in the action taken by
the Secretary to-day.
The bonds maturing In 1907 amount to
$3.50. 1852. 450. or these $491. 343 $50 are regis
tered and $6S.30e.00O coupon bonds. The
