NEW FINANCIAL LAW.
OficiaI Statement az to Its Work.
ings Submitted.

WASHINGTON. May 4.-Representative
Rrosius of Pennsylvania, chairman OF
the house committee on banking and cur
rency today made statement, oHlclal
in character, and based on information
carefully prepared by the treasury de-
partment, of the workings of the recently
enacted financial law. The statement
says, in part:
''The refunding provisions Of the law
are working out with a smoothness with
out parallel in the history of the world.
The statement / submit Is official and
shows the amount of bonds of each
kind exchanged since the law went into
operation March IA to May 1, together
with the saving in interest, the premiums
paid and the net saving
The statement shows the following to-
tails: Amount refunded. $3.50, ,020, $50; saving
in interest, $32,699,225 premium paid,
$26, ,034, III; net saving, $6,664,4 454.
1.-The net saving shown by this state
ment represents the difference between
the amount of interest the government
would pay upon the bonds refunded 10
the date of their respective maturiteS
and the amount of interest the govern
ment would have been obliged to pay,
had not the BONDS ABOVE described DeeH
thus refunded.
1T will be observed that the total
amount of bonds exchanged is $3.50 w, l50
The treasurer has already made 1ull
settlement for bonds amounting to $685.,
051. $50 and of the premiums paid and
being paid $26, ,0347 I'll, the treasurer has
already paid $25, ,923,732 leaving unpaid
only about $4,000 OF the $3.50 or, ,050
bonds exchanged 900 were from In
stitutions or private persons other than
national banks.
''The operation Of legel tender redemp
ton under the provisions of the law ex-
hibits a highly satisfactory condition of
public confidence in our government pa
per and is happy omen for the success
of that branch of our monetary system
in the future The secretary of the
treasury informs me that the amount of
United States notes redeemed in gold out
of the reserve fund since the new law
went into operation is s., 133,289.'
One of the most interesting features of
Mr.. Brosius statement is a table pre-
pared by the treasury showing the ex-
tent to which new national banks have
been organized under the new law. The
total number of applications approved
is pa, with a capital of $S3s0,00O. The
total on file asking for authority to or
ganize national banks is sos; the total
applications for the conversion of old
banks into national banks 3S2, making
total of all kinds of new bank organiza-
tfons of $50.
Mr. Brosius also adds from unofficial
but reliable sources a detailed estimate
of S121, ,7SS, ,S5S as the amount of currency
the national banks may issue in the near
future as gathered from their expressed
intention.

GOEBEL MURDER TRIAL.
Further Damaging Testimony Given
by Many Witnesses.


FRANKFORT, Ky, May 4.-Hearing Of
evidence in the Culton case was resumed
today.
Capt ]. r. How, a Barbourville militia
officer, testified that Caleb and John
Powers came to him ten days before the
assassination and tried to get him to
bring his company to Frankfort, dis
guised as citizens. He declined to do so
unless ordered by Gov. Taylor, and no
orders came till after the assassination,
January 80.
Col. Jack Chinn, who was with Goebel
when he was shot stated that he was
sure that the shot that struck Goebel
was fired from the executive building.
Ed Steffe, who was standing on the
portico in front of the state house, saw
Goebel fall. Immediately after the shot
he looked towards the executive building
and thought he saw the barrel of rife
of the secretary of state. The rife was
drawn in and the window closed In the
cross-eXaminadon Steffe said that after
the shot was fired he thought he saw
little smoke rising above the window
from which he saw the rifle. He did not
look to see where the shot came from
until after Goebel fell.
Judge G. B. Williams, one of the
attorneys for the commonwealth was
placed on the stand. He told of having
seen Culton in whispered conversation
with Berry Howard. but did not know
what they were talking about.
Wade Watts, a bootblack in the base
ment of the executive building, heard
somebody run down the steps into the
then saw Youtsey running through the
basement. He overheard some men whom
he did not know talking about killing
the Democrats in the legislature.
