TO REDEEM IWgPER CENTS
CALLING ON THE BANKS FOR Gov
ERNMENT DEPOSITS.
Surplus for the Fiscal Year viii He
About observation-disclosures offered
for Exchange Estimated.

The time allowed national banks for sur-
rendering public money under the last call
of Secretary Gage expires today. The
amount called for was s5.OO0,OOO, and the
present balance to the credit of the United
States treasurer, standing at $100,O91 1874.
will be reduced to about S95.O0O,OOO. This
call will be followed promptly by three
others, at intervals of about twenty days,
which will bring into the treasury by the
close of August about S15,OOO,O00 more, re-
ducing the bank deposits to the credit of
the treasurer to Ss0,0O0.Oo0 This money
has been called for the purpose of redeem
ing the old per cent bonds, which were
outstanding recently to the amount of So,
3G4.5d0. These bonds have already been
presented for redemption to the amount of
S2%6s5OO. but the bulk have yet to be re-
ceived. Secretary Gage decided to with
draw about S25,0O0,000 from the national
banks at twenty-day intervals of S5.000.OOO
in order to cover the redemption of all of
these bonds. He might have found suffi
cient cash in the treasury for the purpose
from the ordinary surplus. but he consid-
ers the market at present in easy enough
condition to get control of a part of the
government funds.
He is not unlikely to decide to purchase
unmatured bonds, if the surplus accumu-
lates rapidly and the money market be-
comes stringent, rather than to restore the
surplus to the custody of the banks 1t
has been suggested that he not only sus-
pend the terms of the refunding offer which
is now open under the gold standard law,
but that he also announce that certain
amounts of the bonds available for refund
ing will be redeemed in cash at maturity
in 1904. 1907 and 1908 instead of being con-.
tinued at per cent.
Such announcement, 1t is believed,
would afford powerful stimulus to the
holders of the old bends to take advantage
of the refunding Offer while it remains
fected by the refusal to refund and will
cease to be an available investment at their
maturity. Withdrawing money from the
banks and keeping 1t in the custody of the
treasury will put the Secretary in a better
position than otherwise to carry out such
measures

and it is understood that, subject to the reasonable demands in regard to inland navigation and internal trade being satisfied, foreign merchants would not object to an additional 21h per cent be- ing exacted. The ideal state would be for the I. Nj. c. to be extended to na- tive trade and provincial revenue. But, as the Chinese officials are forever din- ming into ones ears, the prejudices of centuries will bar the way if they be not overruled by armed force.
 The last financial year was a prosper ous one for the revenue derived from the customs. and will show an increase of something like 10 per cent. It is for tunate for the Chinese government thai squeeze" is no part of the customs ad- ninistra ton, and it is creditable to the good sense of the official world that when Sir Robert made his demand for an all round increase of salaries and supply on departmental account, they promptly acquiesced. Like all grea. rulers of men, Sir Robert is a thorough autocrat. He believes in perfect dis cipline, and he enforces it from end to end, but that the conditions of service are not unfair is proved by the clamor for admission and the large area of choice among the candidates, all df whom have to bring him satisfactory credentials. There are black sheep in every flock. but in the customs they are soon shelved.

SIR ROBERT HART
Inspector General of Chinese Mari
 time Customs.

In the riot and slaughter amid which our countrymen in northern China are living today, there is one life aboue which there should be more anxiety than for any diplomatist of them all. Sir Robert Hart, ike the great wall, is one of the famous institutions of China. Years ago, speaking of Mr. Gladstone's pre-eminence. Mir. Cham berlain said that great men were like great mountains. which had to be viewed from a distance in order that their greatness might be appreciated. It is possible that his contemporaries in the east hardly see Sir Roberts work clear and whole enough to put it at it's true value, and in some quarters there is a disposition to underrate it's significance. The unique quality of his career is that. alone in history of all the Europeans who have served the emperor of China, he has retained the entire confidence of his Celestial mas ter for a long period of time. Outside his own department, the rulers of China may ask his advice only to neglect it. but within it he is not only supreme over its members, but he is allowed by the grand council something of the free hand in dealing with the official hier-

archy that they have refused to all the rest. He is now 63 years of age,i and for forty-eisht of them he has idwelt and held office in China Only last year Sir Robert was summoned to the tsiung- li-yamen in order that he might be con- suited on a point that had arisen in connection with the customs reve nue. When, with due solemnity, he had giv- en his considered opinion, one of the members of that august body observed: :
 That was not what you said on the subject when we ast asked the qUHes- tion.'' ''I never recoliect being asked it before" said the I. G. Thereupon a volume of the reports of the proceed ings was taken down. and a verbatim extract was given him of his speech upon the same matter thirty years ago. Chinese memories are very long, and Chinese reports very accurate. Sir Rob- ert could only "save face'' by declaring that his opinion was unchanged. but that circumstances had somewhat all tered. Still, to be twice consulted on the same topic by the mandarins, even after thirty years, is proof of confidence such as no other Englishman has ever received within the four seas.'
 The official residence of the inspector general in Pekin was built for him with a special view to making it a social cen ter and place of entertainment Not more than a quarter of a mile from the principal legations, it is in the middle of a large compound, of sufficient size to contain the offices of the l. Nj. c. and to house most of the central staff. To his young men he is kindness itself out of working hours, though he re- quires the work itself to be well and thoroughly done, and. to quote recent criticism on an English statesman, The is rather an appreciative than con sderate master To the society of Pe- kin, which is almost entirely diplomatic in it's composition, he extends a regular

AUGUST FLOWER.

'Tt is a surprising fact" says Prof. Houton, that in my travels in all parts of the world, for the last ten years, have met more people having used Greens August Flower than any other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged liver and stomach, and for constipa- tion. I find for tourists and salesmen, or for persons filling office positions, where headaches and general bad feel ings from irregular habits exist, that Greens August Flower is a grand rem edy.

to retire and enjoy at home what would be, indeed, a well earned rest, but every year sees him still at his post, and the threat is now looked upon as Sir Rob- ert's little joke. To the Chinese mind retirement on account of age is incon- prehensible. An official is supposed to work until he drops. and a request to be allowed to retire from office on ac- count of increasing years would be re- garded with grave suspicion as evil dence of an intention to brew mischief or to play for a higher stake. Whether, after nearly cycle Of Cathay. Sir Rob- ert would enjoy the contrasts of Eng fish life without employment is more than doubtful.
 No people, according to the inspector general, are easier to deal with; no country easier to govern. Considering it's inadequate and iniquitous policing, crime is scarce, and criminals are a very small percentage of the popula- tion. Although riots against mission aries and hot gospelers have been not uncommon in certain provinces, the na- tives generally are not i'll disposed or aggressive against foreigners, except when stirred up by some agitator in- stisated by reactionary scholars or dis appointed officials. No better proof, he alleges, can be afforded of the peaceable habits and conduct of the people than the long established fact that the for eign community, living in the capital city and surrounded by turbulent sol- diery, can and does enjoy so general a security, even in times of political crisis or on the verge of a national war. Sir Robert would contend that the recent murders were purely the outcome of popular excitement under special temp tations, and in no sense resulted from any natural savagery or love of blood shed. T would rather" says Sir Rob- ert, walk through China with a baby in my arms than with a revolver" It

and splendid hospitality. Every week during the winter months he gives a large dinner followed by a small dance, to which the representatives of all na- tions are bidden in their turn. In fact. the gatherings in his house are typical of the cosmopolitan service which he leads. Fond of dancing himself, his large ball room is in constant use. and he has long had in his pay well train ed band of Chinese musicians. who play all the latest of European music. These men. in a trim black uniform, come from Canton. and would do no discredit to any city. So even amid the dirt and discomfort of Peldn Sir Robert strives to keep alive the gayety of nations.
 The inspector general of imperial maritime customs-the I. G., as he is always called-began to organize the splendid service which he commands in 1859, and al the present moment 1t in cludes some 300 foreigners of all na-
 tiona1ities and some 5000 to 4,OOO na- tives. in the central office at Pekin are engaged, besides himself, an English man. Frenchman, German, an Aus trian, an American, an Italian, a Por- tuguese, a Belgian and a Japanese. < little while since he suggested that at the customs mess, where these gentle men mostly live, different language should he spoken at dinner each even inS of the week, but the obection was so general that English still remains the common tongue of the table. It is fit and proper, considering the interna- tional conditions of foreign trade. that all the different countries should b. fairly represented in the ranks of the service. and Sir Robert has carried his impartiaiity so far-so much too far. some of his critics say-that in some of the most important ports the local head is another nationality to his own.

With such a model and such results it seems surprising that other branches of imperial govern ment have not been organized in a sim liar way, or, a least, on the same prin- ciples; but the truth is that, introduced, as it has been, with marvellous tact and knowledge, the Chinese mandarfns have been obliged to tolerate and even to ex- pand the I.
