Mr.. Horace White Of New York was be-
fore the house committee on banking and
currency yesterday in connection with the
bill of Mr.. Lowering Of Massachusetts, au-
thorizing national banks to issue guaran-
teed notes to an amount not in excess of
their paid up and unimpaired capital. Mr.
White approved the general principle OF
the bill, regarding 1t as one calculated to
give flexible currency responsive to the
varying needs of business. He urged the
necessity, however of making the notes
absolutely secure and suggested that this
could be done by making them a first lier
on the assets of the bank. This would re.
lieve the public from any doubt as to the
notes and would give the note holder thai
guaranty he was entitled to.

BRITISH METAL INDUSTRY.
Once Great Business Depressed to .
Point Of StagnatiOn.


A report received at the State Depart
ment from United States Consul Fleming
at Edinburgh, Scotland. sets forth an
alarming decline in the metal industry OF
Great Britain, calls attention to the lament
able lack of thorough technical education
among British engineers, and discusses the
mooted question as to whether the heavy
expectation of coal from Great Britain
should continue.
ITO describe the differences in the condi-
tion Of the metal trades at the beginning
and at the end Of last year." says the con-
sui, would be to contrast enormous ae-
tivity and practical stagnation Ihe de-
preston is attributed In part to tall IN
prices or metals all along the line. but
chiefly to offers of American iron and steel
at reduced prices which, the consul states,
came uuon the market last autumn with
crushing effect What made the difficulty
worse for British producers. he continues,
was that Germany, having bought large
ly from America in the spring and summer,
became alarmed and resold in England at
reduced figures. also placing iron and steel
on the market in competition with Ameri-
can manufacturers.
AS indicative of the general acknowledge
ment Of the crisis in the metal trades. Con-
sui Fleming quotes from Edinburgh pa
pers, which state that 1.-The iron and steel
trades here have gone from u.s." ''the out
look is appalling" 1.-The question of for
e1gn COmpet1tlOn IN the metal IraQeS IS the
most serious industrial problem before the
country in the new century, and other ex-
pressions of alarm at the outlook.
The press in general, says Mr. Fleming,
blames the manufacturers for not adopting
labor-saving machinery in all branches Of
production where it can be introduced, and
blames the workmen for their undisguised
hostility to all labor-saving devices.
AS to the lack of practical instruction in
the industrial arts the consul states: ut
is the accepted opinion here that In the
matter of technical education, Great Brit
ain Is far behind the United States and
Germany" On this subject also the con-
sui transmits newspaper articles eulogizing
the liberality of rich American citizens In
the foundation of endowment institutions
for the requirement of such an education,
and declaring that this generosity on the
part of wealthy Americans is potent fac
tor in the educational development of the
United States
Consul Fleming concludes his report with
a comprehensive review of the fuel question.
The British manufacturer, he says. may not
give due weight to the technical advice, and
notes of warning which come from his
"able Instructors in the public press, but
he cannot shut his eyes to the meaning of
So. so coal. Mr.. Fleming points out that all
coal deposits in Great Britain are known,
and there are few fields that have not been
worked for a long time. Nearly one-fourth
of the output last year was exported, and
the opinion begins to prevail that this
amount Is entirely too great to send away
in view of the limit which production ap-
parently has reached.

Chicago Mans Remarkable Statement
in Suit for Damages.
A Chicago special to the New York World
says:
Rudolph kaester tells a strange story.
Not long ago he bought bargain in the
form of a green perch in the Ghetto" dis
trict. Repeated freezing had made the fish
unpalatable. AS result kaester was sick.
Now he asks the payment of his medical
bill and other relief due him, he asserts,
because of the failure of the city fish in
spector to condemn that aged green perch.
Kaester can prove, he says, that the fish
was old,
Sixteen years ago, while fishing near
Green Bay, Wis, he dropped from his
finger a ring set with queer stone. AL
most before the ring struck the water, he
says, it was seized and devOured by vora-
cious perch.
This ring, he declares, was recovered in
the fish that later caused his illness. AS a
perch does not live longer than twelve
years, Kaester affirmed that the creature
was dead and in cold storage at least five
years and probably longer period before
reaching market place in the Ghetto

promoted a. the close OF the last
session will please present their
promotion cards. Those that failed
and those that did not stand their
final examinations will be required

stand satisfactory examinations.
Parents are earnestly urged 10
start their children at the begin
ming Of the session that they may
have the benefit Of the opening ex-
ercises and be correctly graded
aud promptly started off in their
years work. Nothing is more pro
duetive of satisfactory work and
good discipline upon the part of Pu-
pills than interest n their work :,
and nothing contributes more TO
interest in their work than regu-
larity in attendance. 1t is too
often the case that pupils start in
two or three weeks, or even two or
three months, after school has be-
gun. Under such circumstances
hey can not do the work pre-
seribed for their grade, they drag
along IN their class work during
the year and are then not pre-
pared to stand creditable examina-
tons, and the result is they fail to
be promoted and have thus lest a
year in school.
Teachers can not teach children
when they are not in school, and
children should not be expected to
pass 10 higher grade when they
have not done the work of the
lower grades. This latter is the
secret to much bad scholarship and
incompetency to fill places that re-
quire knowledge and skill. Let
our motto be to know we'll what

tunity to clean up and beautify hef

the city has the appearance Of hav-
ing been abandoned by civilization
altogether; the sidewalks are d.
lapidated and almost impossible in
many places. This condition casts
sad reflection upon the city faith
ers, and they want the cows,

very embarrassing position-un-
