NEW BANK NOTES.
First Delivery Of the Series o,


The controller Off the Acurrency received
from the bureau OF engraving and printing
yesterday the firH delivery OF the new
national bank notes known as the series
Of 1902.
These notes wiHs be issued only to new
banks organized since January l. 1902 and
those extending or re-extending their char
ters.
Only the denominations Of SO and $50 are
yet ready for issue. Later fves, fifties and
one hundreds will be issued. These notes
are quite radical departure in designs
from bank notes heretofore issued, and are
considered a great Improvement.
The backs have only one plate printing,
which is an artistic vIgnette printed in
green. The faces all bear portraits of
prominent deceased officials of the gov
ernment, these being ex-President Harrf-
son for the fiye-dollar note. ex-President
Mckinley for the ten. ex-Secretary McCul-
loch for the twenty. ex-Secretary Sher-
man for the fifty, and ex-Controller of the
Currency Knox for the one hundred.
To facilitate the asserting OF currency in
partment the charter numbers, with q sys-
TEN of letters in broad-faced type desig-
mating the geographical division in which
the bank Is located, will hereafter be plac-
ed upon both ends of the face of all notes
printed. including the new series, as fol-
lows: Letter N, New England states; B,
eastern states: M. middle states; s. south
ern states: w, western states, and P, Pa
cifc states. These are the geographical
divisions heretofore used in the depart
ment under which statistical matter has
been reported. The controller desires to
save banks, as well as the office unneces-
sary correspondence by announcing that it
will be impossible to change designs for
banks which have already had their notes
prepared. as this would disarrange the
system Of records kept in the division Of
issues.

NEW MOVEMENT IN AUSTRIA.
Signs Of Revolt Against Aggressive
Ultramontanism.

The Vienna correspondent of the New
York Times notes signs Of the beginning
Of a new intellectual uprising in Austria
against aggressive ultramontanism. He
says a recent striking address by Leopold
Wahrmund, professor of canonical law in
Innsbruck University. has found an echo
in the reichsrath.
Prof Wahrmund Is liberal Catholic
savant, who protests against ultramon-
tame objections to scientific investigation.
In the address referred to he declared that
the blindness of the conservative leaders
was destroying the vitality of the Catholic
Church In Austria. Conservative Catholt-
cism was becoming more and more depend
ent on the support of the lower classes. 1t
was "a religion Of rustics, like the de-
clining paganism in the ancient world. AT
the same time Indifference and radical So
cialism were destroying the very basis Of
the Christian faith in the middle classes
In the reichsrath yesterday the minister
of education said that Prof. Wahrmunds 8
speech was political and out of place In a
university, but declined to issue prohibi-
tion.
The Times correspondent adds that the
movement for reform within the church
came from Germany, where Its develop
ments and tendencies were influenced by
the important movement OF Catholics In
the United States known as American
ISM" 1t has been stimulated In Austria
by the "Emancipation Of Rome" movement
Of the Pan-German extremists.

TO INVESTIGATE WAR OFFICE.
Liberals in Parliament Ask Govern

A dispatch from London yesterday says:
In the house of commons this afternoon
Sir Henry Campbell the liberal
leader moved the appointment of select
committee to investigate the whole COM
mercial history of the South African war,
including the contracts for the purchases
of remounts meat and forage and the con-
tracts for freight and transportation, say
ing that in so doing he was only fulfilling
a moral duty and echong sentiment deep
ly felt throughout the country.
The war secretary, Mr.. Brodrick, replied
that the government did not fear an inves-
tigation 1t was true that in operations Of
the magnitude of those in South Africa
there must have been mistakes and short
comings, and the war Office would demand,
as it's right, an Investigation at the proper
time. But British; operations in all parts
Of the world would be. paralyzed If an in
quiry was forced Bow.fIHad the war office
been in the condition In which Sir Henry
Campbell l-Bannerman LETT 1t, the war could
not have been carried On for two months.

The premier, Lord Salisbury, was called
on to defend the government in the house
of lords today by a motion of Earl Spen-
Ger, liberal, dema milling detailed infOrma-
ton regarding martial Jaw, courts-martial
and executions in Cape Colony.
Lord Coleridge. liberal: who followed, de-
clared that martiah law was imposed over
a vast area of1South Africa where not
shot had been fired and where there was no
resistance to government authority.
Lord Salisbury said that martial law was
a mere figure of speeoE What every one
admitted was that 1t was necessary to de-
feat the designs Of the kings enemies in
South Africa. This the government was
determined to do. and, he added naively,
there was plenty of armed resistance in
Cape Colony to fully justify the applica-
ton of martial law.
A dispatch from Allegan, Mich, yesterday
says: A carload of horses is on the way to
New York for shipment to South Africa for
use in the British army. An agent for the
British government has been for several
days buying horses for that purpose. Horses
physically sound, but too old to be serv-
iceable, were purchased for food to take
the place of beef, which is scarce in the
land of the Beers.
