New York, July ga Times special
from Washington says: Ex-Secretary
Hoke Smith was interviewed on the sub
ject Of the campign in the Philippines

military work connected with the cam

New York, May ga special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Reports roceievd by Adjutant General

one third of the provisional army has
been enlisted. There was slight
falling off in recruiting on Friday,

statement indicated that the absorption OF
gold and notes in circulation had paused
il not come to an end. More important
still. the figures proved that the string
ency had been artificial and the product OF
the banks own action; to- make money
scarce in the open market. It had borrowed
mere than it had loaned. Either that, or
It sold stocks for cash Instantly The mar
ket felt at ease with itself again ana the
rate cutting was suspended. Early i'll the
week the bill brokers stood out against
the market and refused to buy hills under
3 SIS per cent; on Thursday they DID
small business at IL per cent, ocCa-
sionally less, and yesterday the rate was
about 3 il and threatens to go below even
3 per cent this week
At the same time money has fallen TO
and Zig per cent. These WORKINGS are
unpleasant and serve to create uneasihess.
The explanation is simple enough Had
the bank not acted as it mas done soiu
would have been exported and we should
have seen per cent rate established
before we could get 1t back again. BY cor
nering the market at once the bank forced
rates up, turned exchanges in our favor
and drew gold from the continent.
A secondary cause of the banks action
is to be found in the evil reports when
have been circulating about the stability
of the Birbeck Building society. In the
course of years this institution has devel-
oped n large business as a deposit bank,
and now holds about G10 900. 600 of money,
all repayGSle on demand. BY allowing too
liberal interests to depositors its manage
ment has been driven to invest in many
securities of a speculative character 10

was intimated that there was reason to

New York, July Ex-Governor Roose-
welt. It is said, is taking personal cogni-
zance of the complaints which are made
by the street railway employees about the
wholesale violation of the ten hour law
law by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit COM
pany and the Metropolitan street railway.
The governor, not pleased, it is said,
with the way the overtules of the board
of mediation and arbitration is met by
the presidents OF these two companies,
has requested the board to make an in
vestigation into the alleged violation.
Both companies, when their employees
complained and Messrs. Delehanty, Gil
bert and Weber members of the board,
volunteered their services, declared there
was nothing to arbitrate. The result was
two strikes considerable disorder and
talk of calling out the National guard.
The governor, 1t is said, is OF the i'm
preston that there is something to arbi-
trate II the companies are violating the
ten hour law. He does not intend to com
pei them to arbitrate, but if the law is
being violated he desires that this fact be
known. and as soon as the additional dep
uty factory inspectors take office they
can look after the companies. II is said
that the governor Is very likely 10 be
heard from on this subject If the situation
is as bad as the strikers have painted 1t.
He Is not opposed to street railway cor
porations simply because they are cor
porations He believes in protecting them
