RELIEVE BANKS.
SECRETARY SHAW WILL RE-
LEASE FUNDS.
Makes Statement That the Carry
ing of Reserves Against Secured
Government Deposits Will Not
Hereafter BE Keqnired---Other
Relief to Be Afforded.

New York, Sept. 2.-Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw has issued a state
ment in which he says that the banks
hereafter will not be required to carry
a reserve against government depos-
it's secured by government bonds. This
will make available at once over $780,
OOO, 900
Secretary Shaw declined TO discuss
the financial situation further than to
say that the treasury department
would cooperate as far as possible
with the banks in. their effort to sup
ply the necessary credit to do the UNI
precedented amount of business that
is taxing railroads and steamship lines,
as well as banks, to the utmost. Mr..
Shaw said he has never seen any good
reason why banks holding a govern
ment deposit against government
bonds should be required to carry
reserve against it. First, it is depos-
it not likely to be called for in time
of stringency, and second, if called,
the collateral will always sell for cash
in excess of the deposit. He has,
since he took charge of the treasury,
contemplated relieving the banks of
this burden.
The comptroller of the currency
agrees with the secretary, and there
fore it is announced that hereafter
banks will not be required to carry
reserve against government deposits
secured by government bonds.
The treasury has on deposit with
various banks scattered throughout
the country, in round numbers, $780,
600 900. against which the banks have
heretofore been compelled to hold
more than $30,000,00O of gold or it's
equivalent. This decision will release
that much reserve, and $50, 5000 adj
ditiOnal credit. The secretary said he
would continue to make deposits of
internal revenue and miscellaneous
receipts (all available for that purp-
ose) practically 100000 per day. as
long as the situation required, and if
the banks were unable to retain gov
eminent bonds to secure the same, he
would accept the same general class
of securities, municipal bonds, etc. as
are made available by the laws of the
several states for savings banks.
BY this it is not intended to loan in
excess of Is per cent. of the par value,
and nothing will be accepted that has
not been previously tried and proven
stable for cash on call. He said he
could, of course. determine each case
by itself The secretary further said
he would accept security of the class
described above from portion of the
deposit held by each bank now holding
a government deposit, and release
enough per cent. consols to cover
any increased currency that the bank
may desire to issue.
He has recognizeds the possibility OF
present conditions. and therefore. as
early as last July. commenced printing
currency preparatory to the needs OF
the banks to handle the increased bus
mess of the fall trade, and has on
hand, ready to be delivered, an aggre-
gate of about $25,O00,000. This can
be sent out at the probable rate of
100000 a day, if the banks desire
to substitute the other security above
designated for the release of the con-
soils

TO REACH THE COAST
Management Plans fol-
a Trans.C Continental
System.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-The Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad is
planning to reach the Pacific coast.
This is the first tangible report OF the
roads alliance with the Gould syndi-
cate, and, as an initial step to an outlet
to the Orient, the directors will submit
a proposition whereby the company's
capital stock will be increased by $685.
100000. The step, it is understood,
has the approval of President A. J.
Earling. For some time it has been
evident to members of the Stock Tx.
change that the st. Paul had an i'm
portant scheme in contemplation.
Both the common and preferred shares
of the organization have been advance
ing, not even the extraordinary slump
in the general market affecting the
roads securities materially.
The cause of this remarkable rise was
explained by a director in the semi
official statement that $25, 200, 900
would be added to the company's cap
italization in order to Facilitate a pro-
ject which will be undertaken in con-
junction with the Missouri Pacific sys-
tem," which is an acknowledgement
that a coalition has been formed be
tween the Goulds, who control the Mis-
souri, Pacific, and the Rockeiellers, who
are in practical ownership of the st.
Paul. 1t is believed that an option has
been secured from Senator Clark on his
route from Salt Lake to Los Angeles.
The Denver d Rio Grande, owned by
the Goulds, and therefore under the
domination of the Missouri Pacific,
reaches the Utah capital.
Before entering into compact with
the Goulds the Rockefellers made sure
OF having majority of the st. Paul,
and now own outright little over half
of it. valued at $5S, 1873, 900 common
and $45, 754, 400 preferred.
The combination is formidable off
set to the Hill-Vanderbilt- Cassatt sys-
TEN, which includes the Pennsylvania
and the Northern Securities Companies.

BRIDE NINE LEADERS.
Union Officials Offered Big Money to
Throw the Strike.

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 27.-Efforts are
being made to bride the leaders of the
mine workers to surrender the cause,
declares President Nichols of District
No. l, in sworn statement issued at
noon. Nichols says he has information
that Michael Grimes, formerly a mine
foreman, is the agent OF the operators
for this purpose.
Nichols accuses Grimes OF Offering
the local presidents $4,000 each if
they would get 10 men from each local
union to draft resolutions declaring
that their locals were willing to return
to work. In each case two men were
to get $500 each, the other eight to get
500 each, in addition to the $25, 900
offered to the principal.
Grimes agreed to pay all incidental
expense money and prevent the expos
ure of the participants. 1t is stated
that Grimes, for his work, is promised
a coal lease from the Erie company.
Nichols offers to furnish testimony in
the courts.

FUNSTON ON CANTEENS.
Abolition He Thinks, Has Done
Great Harm in Army.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Brigadier
General Frederick Funston, in his an
nual report for the department OF the
Colorado, points out that the percent
age of trials by courtmartial OF enliste"
men has nealry doubled during the past
year. He says:
at is therefore plain that there has
been Il deplorable increase OF offenses
in general and of desertion in partic-
ular. In my opinion there are two
princial causes for this state of affairs:
"First, resentment at unaccustomed
limitations and restrictions felt by most
men returning from field service to the
monotony and routine work of garrison
life.
"Second, the abolition of the canteen
feature of the post exchange. Since
this action was taken saloons OF the
lowest type have been established along
the boundaries of the various reserva-
tiOns, their proprietors, in almost ev
cry case, unprincipled scoundrels, VIII
leave nothing undone to debauch the
soldiers and obtain their money. Be
ing in all cases outside the limits of the
city, the proprietors OF these resorts are
subject to no municipal police regula
tions and sell. liquor regardless OF hours
and whether the buyer is intoxicated or
not. Gambling is universal in these
dives, and they are frequented by dis
sOlute women.
"The soldier whose desire for ii drink
would ordinarily be satisfied by few
glasses of beer in the canteen OF the
post exchange. goes to one of these re-
sorts and does well if he escapes before
he has spent or gambled away all his
money, overstayed his leave, or engaged
in an alteration.
Gas a rule, the local authorities re-
gard the existence OF these places with
indifference CT approval, as it causes
the soldier to spend his money in the
community. The efficiency OF the ar
my or the ruin of good soldier is
nothing to them.
'There can be no reasonable doubt
that most of the trials by general courts
martial and summary courts, at least
SO far as this department is concerned
are directly traceable to this cause.
Since 1 have had command here there
has taken place the ruin and degrade
ton OF several non.commissioned Off
GERS of long service and fine records.
In short, the recent legislation by con-
gress on that question, so far as this de-
partment is concerned, has had no ef-
feet except to lower the discipline of
the army. ruin scores OF good soldiers,
and fill the pockets of a lot of saloon
keepers and gamblers
