TREASURY AND
MONEY MARKET

Richmand, Va, Oct. 4.-The session
| of the National Bankers Association
to-day was devoted largely to can
! OF the states as to the condltlon oi
| business. Responses were made from
three-fourths of the states and the rep
resentations We're most encouraglhs:
United States Treasurer Ellis H.
| Roberts addressed the convention on
THE Treasury and the Money Mar
ket.' lie said in part:
Except for the furry in November
and December. 1899. which was entire
iy .Gart from treasury operations, quo
| tations for call money have not been
| above five to seven per cent. and then
| for only Il short period, while the rul-
| ing rate, although touching two and
one-half. has ranged from one and one
| fourth to two and one-fourth per cent.
| The low rates for money. the lowest IN
the world have brought Russia and
Great Britain TO borrow from us and
Japan and Sweden 10 seek loans here,
last of all. Germany takes S2o,oOo,UOo
of our money. New York has become
one of the two financial centers OF the
world. Without the outflow from the
treasury all this would have been i'm
possible.
The balance OF trade III our favor
for three years averages SJ694G,396.
To our stock of gold every year since
1896 has been added more than $780,
100000 on the averagc-a record never
before known among nations. The gold
in circulation. including certificates,
has reached Ss31 .Osi .025. which is more
than all our currency prior to 1850,
and is S10.63 per capita of our popula-
. N..1 ..tt
culatlon in 1862.
I'm spite of the vast outtfows, the
gross gold in the treasury is the larg-
est ever held. S437.221. 19l, and 1t is
growing. Except the abnormal horde
of S4jO.OOO.oO0 OF the Bank Of France,
likely TO be soon reduced, there Is no.
where else in the world so much of the
yellow metal under single control. If
this flow OF gold shall satisfy the ap-
peal for more money, how healthy our
currency will become"

A MINISTER LED
FORCES INTO PEKIN

fan Francisco, Oct. 3.-Rev. Freder-
lex Brown, presiding elder of the Meth
odist mirsion In TIen Tsin, who guided
the allied forces into the Chinese cap
ital, is here. He was in Pekin the time
Of the Boxer outbreak and was one OF
the Inst persons to leave before com.
municntio with the outside world had
been cut on. He left June 18th, and
with great difficulty reached Tien Tsin.
He Immediately organized an expedi-
ton for the relief OF Pei Tai HO. where
party OF seventy-five foreigners,
mostly women and children. were be-
sieged by the Chinese. About thirty
Americans were In the party, DIR.
Browns family among them.
As DIR. Brown was familiar with the
city OF Pekin. his advice was asked re-
gnrding the best means Of entry, and
II WAS on his suggestion that the sewer
under the city's wall was chosen by
the Americans and British. The result
Of this was their arrival several hours
before the Russians and Japanese.
In relating his experiences DIR. Brown
said: The capture OF Tien Tsin July
18th by the allied forces was so unex-
pected that the various treasures, va
mems and mInts did not have time to
hide their treasures or destroy their
documents. / was requested by the
allies to search the dockcts and files of
the various Chinese departments, and
In doing so came across many accounts
which clearly incriminate the high Of
ficinls. In the day book of the viceroy
an entry occurs showing that July 18th
the day he fed. 10000 taels had been
given the chief Boxer. Chang Te Ching
for food for his men. Another entry
shows that l.435 tnels had been given
Yang Sheu Chen for white -four for
two days ratIons for his men. Another
entry Is for forty taels given to II
wounded Boxer.
I'm all these entries there fs no men.
ton made OF this being n debt. but all
are ciish entries. showing that the
money was duly paid out OF the vice
roy's treasures.
zone entry shows where thirty taels
each hnd been given to the bearer fol
two heads cut from the dead bodies OF
foreigners. Many headless bodies OF
American marines were found on thu
field OF battle of June 18th, and thi.
entry shows at once the reason for the
mutilation. A complete register Of al
the Boxers In the villages around TicI
Tsin was also found. giving names ant

Is undertaken, the list will be Of grea

CHANCE FOR
PEACE IN CHINA

Washington, Oct 3.-Favorable nows
has reached Washington from the
European chnncellories, indicating that
q complete agreement as to China Is
within sight. The agreement Will be
on the basis Of the proposition laid
down by Secretary Hay in his note Of
July 3rd, and the subsequent notes
treating on that subject. The accord Of
Russia with the United States is more
complete than was anticipated at first,
and the reports show that all OF the
European nations probably are placing
themselves in position to take ndvan-
tage OF the opening made by the United
States, and soon will be ready to begin
negotiations for n settlement with the
Chinese government. The Russians Al
ready have given notice of such pur-
pose, and while the text OF the French
note on this subject, referred to In to
days press dispatches, has not reached
the State Department. the officials are
satisfied that this is correctly reported.
and that France. like Russia, Is ready
to negotiate at once.
As fo- Germany, either the position
of that government has been misunder-
stood or 1t has sustained change Of
mind. Possibly the former is the case,
but. however that may be, II Is quite
certain from the adviccs that have
reached Washington to-day that the
German government, upon careful In
spcction Of the plans for settlement
projected by the United States. finds
therein nothing inconsistent with the
German aspirations. Therefore 1t may
be expected that Germany. too. Will be
prepared soon to join In this common
movement toward n settlement. II
may be stated that altogether the pros
poets OF an adjustment OF the Chinese
difficulty without resort TO formal war
are very much brighter than they were
one week ago.

regarding the rights OF Chinese 10 land
In Hawaii. 1t was In the case of All

land IN Honolulu. He was brought be-
fore Judge Estee on habcas corpus pro-

Ing shipped from New York, the Chi
nese had a right to land In any other
American port, and Honolulu Is now
an American port. The decision is re-
garded as highly important as bearing
upon the question of whether the many
Chinese in the Hawaiian islands have
right to land on the mainland. A
clause In the Hawaiian territorial net
declares that the Chinese In Hawaii
shall not he admitted to the coast Of
the United States. This clause Is be-
lieved by some to be unconstitutional.
and the decision by Judge Estee Is In
line with that opinion. There are
