Kitchener Criticized.

London, Nov. 25.-The forthcoming pro-
motion of Major General Lord Kitchener
to lieutenant generalship ELECTS from
Charles Williams, one of the leaders OF
the war critics, the bitterest Indictment of
that general ever published in England.
He declares General Kitchener meditates a
restless and ruthless determination of the
Beers, hoping to execute his atrocities amid
silence like that at the tomb of the mahdi.
He believes the British officers and men
will not endure this, and that Kitchener
will stand revealed to the country as a
scourge memorable. Mr.. Williams apollo
gizes to satan for mentioning him in the
same breath with Kitchener and maintains
that the resignation of several general of
ficers and the removal of Generel Kelly
Kenny from Bloemfontein confirms the sus-
picion that they would have nothing to do
with Kitchener's dirty work"
1t is needless to say that this bitter at
tack by no means expresses the average
opinion.

New York, Nov. 25-The announce
ment that General Kitchener has been
recommended at the cabinet council for
lieutenant generalship so as to enable him
to take supreme command of the British
forces in South Africa when Lord Rob
erts leaves, has not been officially con-
firmed, says the Tribune's London dis
patch but there is no reason to doubt its
accuracy. Lord Salisbury is a firm be-
lever in Kitchener's ability to put an end
to the guerrilla tactics of the Beers and it
is tolerably certain that once Kitchener is
allowed a free hand, his policy will not
err on the side of leniency to the Beers.
1t is not known what Lord Methuen is
going to do. He is now the senior of
ficer in South Africa after Lord Roberts
and he may prefer to return home rather
than serve under a junior.
Meanwhile, Lord Wolseley is again re-
ported to be extremely dissatisfied with
the position which he holds as commander
in chief, without any real authority, and
it is said that he will not wait for Lord
Roberts return but will retire next week,
in which event his duties as supreme of
ficer of the British army would be carried
on temporarily by Sir Evelyn Wood, the
adjutant general
Respecting Lord Wolseley London cor
respondent of the Journal and Advertiser
says:
"Wolseley, after his retirement, is go
ing to raise tremendous storm in army
circles by an exposure of who is respon-
sible for the blunders of the campaign. His
friends say all the blame has been laid on
him and he will endure it no longer. lie
quits in order to clear himself.
"He may make the exposure through
the newspapers or from his seat in the
house of lords"

REPORT ON THE CURRENCY.
BY COMPTROLLER C. G. DAWES
For the Year Ending October 81,
crease of CircuIatiOn--COntpt
Suggested Amendments ON Bank
ing Laws.

Washington.-The annual report of
Charles G. Dawes, comptroller of the
currency, for the year ended October 81,
1900, has been reported for transmission
to congress.
The report starts with summary of the
reports made during the year by the ma
tional banks in response to the call of the
comptroller, which shows the aggregate
resources of the 1871 national banks re-
porting ON September 5, 1900, to be $5,04S,-
l3S, 400 20. Between the September call
of 1899 and 1900 loans and discounts in
creased $l70,00S, 1871 as. The loans and
discounts on September 5, 1900, were
S., $3.50, 750, GAP 81, and individual deposits
were 81 sos, 24S,557 SO.
The capital stock of national banks re-
porting on September was 5000 200, O3O.
In the review of the operations of ma
tional banks under the currency act OF
March IA, 1900, the report shows that out
of approximately 1000 informal applica-
tions for authority to organize national
banks, filed in anticipation of and as a
result of the law, 500 have been made
formal and have been approved by the
comptroller between March IA and October
81, 1900. From the 500 formal appica-
tions came 349 actual organizations of
banks between March IA and October 81.
OF these 34S banks actually organized, 249
were banks of less than $4,000 capital,
representing a total capitalization of
$6,575 900, and 80 were banks which
could have been organized under the old
law with an individual capital of $4,000
or over, representing total capitaliza-
ton of $lO,9OO,OO0. The bonds deposited
to secure circulation by these new institu-
tions between March IA and October 81 was
$5,34S,200, or only about 80 per cent OF
the maximum which might have been de-
posted.

The total increase of the circulation Sc
cured by government bonds of all national
banks in the system since March Ia, 1900,
has been $S2 ,454 270. The total outstand-
ing circulation on October 81, 1900, was
1891 ,6l3 ,268, of which $32, 784, 204 is Sc
cured by lawful money and is in process OF
retirement. The total bond secured circu-
lation on October 81, 1900, was $298 $780,
064.
On October 81, 1900, there were 1885
national banks in operation with a COM
bined capital of 1862, 502,395. The COM
bined resources of the national banks be-
ing over $5,OO0,000,000, is greater than at
any time heretofore.
In complying with the requirements of
section 1888, providing that the comptroller
shall suggest amendments for the i'm
provement of the banking law, he first
calls attention to the fact that under sec
ton l of the act of July II, 1882, under
which extensions of national bank char
tiers may be granted by the comptroller,
he is limited by the act to one extension
of 20 years duration.
Under this section the charters of 1877
national banks were extended for a term
of 20 years from the date OF expiration
of their first charter.
The first of the extended charters will
expire on July IA, 1902, and the others
will follow in due course. The comptrol-
Ter then says:
"Without additional legislation author
izing further extension, bank desir-
ING to continue in business under the ma
tional system whose corporate existence
has been once extended will be compelled
to go into liquidation at the expiration
of the period of its extension and reor-
ganize as a new association.
"Ihis course will render necessary the
complete winding up of the affairs of the
expiring bank, the retirement of its cir
culation, the withdrawal of its bonds,
and the issuing of a new certificate OF
authority by the comptroller, with a dis
tinctivelv new title and charter number,
as is at present the case with an entirely
new organization. While the recognized
association might continue to be in all
respects the same bank, with practically
the same stockholders, directors and Off
GERS, the legislation hereinafter recon-
mended would render unnecessary these
steps, which would be attended with in
convenience both to the business public
and the banks.
81 therefore respectfully recommend an
amendment of section / of the act of July
u, 1882, authorizing the comptroller of
the currency to extend for further
period of 20 years, under the conditions
and limitations imposed by said act, the
charter of such expiring association as

proceedings. Temporary Chairman

statement that the convention met to

Inactive Stock Market.

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE stock and
bend markets have dropped back to de-
gree of inactivity not equalled since the
opening of 1897. The paralysis Of specula-
ton Is plainly due to uncertainty regard
ing the future of the money market. The
placing of over half the last British loan
in New York foreshadows the necessity
that Great Britain and European Govern
ments will be under of resorting to
American capital to help finance future
loans, believed to be imminent, to meet
the cost both of the Boer war and the

poets of higher money rates in conse-
quence discourage any embarkation upon
speculation.
