Scheme to Obtain Financial Claims.

Constantino9le, Dec. 26.-Amaz.-
ment has been caused in diplomatic
circles by the announcement that the
Sultan has just placed orders for arms
and ammunition with German firms to
cost one million Turkish pounds. The
orders were given upon the direct
solicitation OF Emperor William and as
the bankrupt condition OF the Turkish
treasury is notorious, the Kaiser's
action is interpreted as a scheme to OBJ
tain heavy financial claims against the
Sultan. In collection of these no non
sense on GermaDy's part needs be ex-
pected and in default of payment it is
believed that she will seized Beirut and
demand o:ber heavy concessions in Asia
Minor.

NATIONAL BANKS.
Not as Many Under New Law as Elk.
pected.

An interesting statement has been
given out by the Treasury Department
regarding the organization of new ma
tional banks under the provision of the
currency and refunding law says Brad
streets Somewhat contrary to a pre-
valent impression, neither the number
OF new banks nor the amount of their
capital is as large as it was presumed
they would be when the law was en-
acted. From March IA, the date the
currency bill was signed, to June IS,
there have been about $50 applications
TO the Treasury Department for auth
GRITTY to organize small banks, that is
to say, institutions with a capital of
900 or less, and about so appllca-
tions for larger banks, which might
have been formed under the old law
The number of institutions whose APP
plications have thus far been approved
and which have actually begun bust
ness is 1853, of which ia have the mini
mum capital permitted by the new
law. The remaining As are large banks,
some of which represent the transfor-
nation of state institutions into ma
tional banks. The aggregate capital
of the latter is S5,625,000, while that Of
the ia small banks is stated to be
$3,OOO0O0, or a total of IS, 645 900. The
deposits of bonds by the banks organ
lied since March A. and on which cir
culatiOn has been or will be taken out
was only 81 669, $50 or about one-third
of the aggregate capital of the new in
situations. The largest part of this cir
culation is taken out by the banks haV-
ing capital of over $4,000, and, from
an examination of the list i'm detail it
will be seen that in many cases the
small banks have only applied for cir
culation TO the amount Of $4,000 or
less.

70 CHANGE ROADS ROUTE.
NEW PLANS FOR THE KAHULUI
RAILROAD.
Paia and HdmakuapoSo Mills viii be
on the Direct Line-Wil Save Long
Hauls.

WAILUKU, July 14-It has been de-
fnitely resolved not to rebuild the Paia
depot which was burned last week. The
reason for this is that the railroad COM
pany is planning to make some changes
in the line of the road. At present.
SpreCkelsVille is on a spur of the track
which leads from Kahului to Paia. The
proposed plan is to make the line from
Kahulu to Spreckelsville the main line
and to take up the track from the spur
to the present site of Paia station.
From preCkelsville. the line will run
directly to the Paia min and a new de
pot will be built just below the mill.
some half a mile mauka of the site of
the burned depot, From this new de-
pot, the line will probably be extended
to the Handicapped mill and the
whole track will be built on the same
gauge as the Spreckelsville plantation
gauge.
The proposed change will prove high
advantageous to both the Paia and the
HamakuapokO plantation, which at
present have long hauls from their mills
to the depot. If the proposed change
should mate ralze, the site of the pres
ent village of Paia will probably be
abandoned by it's occupants, for sites
near new depot.-Maui News.
