It is announced at the Treasury Depart
ment that $50. Geo. coo in national bank
notes has been added to the money stock
of the country within the past four months.
The new Currency law provides that banks
using the per cent consols as a base for
circulation can issue notes up to the par
value OF the bonds SO deposited instead Of
go per cent OF the total as befare.
The banks have largely taken advantage
of this. and nearly $25, ,00Q,000 has been
added by them TO their circulating medium.

the remaining 10 per cent. In addition the
tax of l per cent on national bank circula-
ton has been reduced to one-half per cent

of circulation. The two concessions have
caused the creation OF many new banks
and have caused old banks to increase

their power to get the ministers away
from the capital and under the protection
of their countrymen. Probably the min
listers themselves are the principal OBJ
jeetors tc any such proceeding, They have
good reason to decline to turn themselves
oveE to the tender mercies of the Chinese
under a promise that they will be delivered
safely at Tientsin, and it is reasonable to
suppose that they are insisting that the
allies be permitted to come to their re-
lief.
1t is very clearly indicated in the Tsung-
H-Yamen's message that China desires to
offset the effect of her defiance by soft
words about friendly relations between the
Imperial authorities and the ministers
The statement that the consultations to
arrange for sending the ministers to Tien-
tsin will soon be concluded satisfactorily
indicates that. if the ministers consent,
they will be promised safe escort out Of the
capital.
Nobody here in authority now believes
that the Chinese Government viii kill the
foreigners in Pekin or permit them to be
killed. 1t appreciates too well the conse-
Guences Of such an act For that reason
and the belief that China will do every

vent, by peaeeable means, the entry Of the
