: CLUMSY CURRENCY SYSTEM
To This Henry Clews Lays the Money
=" o~t Stringencv.

New York, Sept. 22-The financial
situation is discussed at length by Henry
Clews in his weekly letter. He says:
While the stock market exhibits
tary stringency has effectually held in
check the speculative forces which might
otherwise have been set in motion by eX-
cellent crop and business prospects,.
Partial relief is now in prospect through
gold imports and Secretary Shaw's ef-
forts to offset. treasury absorptions. -
/ Bank reserves are, however, down to
the vanishing point, having declined $13,-
100000 since the beginning of August,
the highest period since Feb. l.
Loans were at their highest figure on
Aug. Is, since when there has been con-
traction of $4,000, 900.
It is quite certain that interior cur
rency demands will be much larger than
usual owing to the better crops and &C
tivity in business.
Very likely, also, the return movement
of currency will be delayed longer than
ordinary, in which case the local money
market will receive no assistance from
the interior until the close of the year.
Once more we are having an illustra-
ton of the clumsy working Of our present
currency system and the necessity Of a
more elastic plan, which would allow the
supply of money to expand and contract in
ACCORDANCE with the demand.
|: For some time past it has been evident
that the principal source Of relief to the
local money market would be in gold i'm
ports.
Gold is already coming from Australia,
the Transvaal and the Klondike in in
creasng sums, and very shortly Europe
will be Obliged to give way to American
demands.
i Our leading bankers are keeping close
watch upon international trade and finan-
,cial movements, and much of their pres
sent confidence in the future is unques-
tionably based upon the probability Of our
paying very large proportion Of our for
eign Indebtedness in products.
| In the last twelve months there has
been a shrinking in corn exports alone of
$61, 900, 900, which will not be repeated this
year.
/ On the stock exchange there have
been sharp fluctuations. Aside from
| the monetary situation the outlook is very
/ satisfactory. ''s.tE
/ The. big leaders have the market we'll
under control, but are evidently not dis
posed to take the initiative at present
| The darkest spot upon the horizon is the
coal strike, which still continues, but
seems to be gradually dying.
/ Thanks to another good harvest and
our continued industrial activity, the out
look for the stock market during the next
few months is in most respects en-
couraging.
Our railroad magnates are actively at
work trying to give the community of
interest idea some permanent form
This Is a task Of huge proportions and
will require time for completion, but it
is a. very vital factor In the present un-
derlying strength Of the market.

OYER one MILLION
The Pension List Has Risen to This
Formidable Figure During
the Summer.
Number Of Spanish War Pensioners
Small Compared With. the
Size of the Army.

From, The Journal Bnreau. Room, g. Poss
Building, Washin0fors.'
Washington, Sept. 22.-The United
States pension list has passed the mil
lion mark. Commissioner Wares forth
coming annual report, which will be made,
public before the G. A. R. encampment.
will show that there were 500, 446 pension
ers on the rolls on June30. This number has
been increased by 2,051 names added in
July. The number for August has not
been made public. The pensions growing
out of the. Spanish war have a great deal
to do with this increase, although their
number is small in comparison with the
number who served in that conflict.
Since Commissioner Ware took charge
he has established a pension bureau
board of appeals which has been Of great
benefit to applicants.
Under the old system, when an appli-
cant wanted to appeal from the decision
Of the examiners he had to take his case
to the secretary of the interior, delaying
final action for year or more. Under
the new system the pension board Of ap-
peals goes over the cases and culls out
those affected by subsequent laws and
the remainder are sent to the board Of
appeals of the department. The per-
centage of cases adjusted by Commission
er Wares board is quite large.

New York, Sept 22.--In the desk used
by William Hooper Young, the murderer
Of Mrs. Pulitzer at The offices of the
Crusader in Hoboken there has been dis
covered lot of leteers that throw much
light on the young mans attitude toward
women. They show that Mrs. e. H. Co.'S
tello of Minneapolis and May 'Vanschoick,
fHoboken. have much reason to con-
graduate themselves on letting their &C
craftsmanship with him stop with pen
and ink. They show also that he had
wasted money on a concert hall singer.
Sept. II, 1901, Young under the alias Of
Billy Smith appealed to Mrs Costello to
leave home and join him at Buffalo. The
letter miscarried in the mails and was
returned to him through the dead letter
office.
The singer referred to above was Jennie
Forester, who was at Butte, Mont, some
time ago. Young sent her $40 by mail,
but received no reply.

The Cory Exhibit Found To-day In
Toung's Trunk.
New York, Sept. 22.-When the trunk
of William Hooper Young, for whom the
police Of the whole country are looking,
in connection with the murder Of Mrs
Anna Pulitzer, was opened at police head
quarters to-day, there We're found in it
a sword shaped stiletto with blade eight
inches long, and an ivory handle four
inches long; the half dozen mixed cakes
which the woman left her apartments to
buy; her set Of false teeth, with one tooth
missing; her skirts and underclothing; a
switch Of light-colored hair pair Of
gloves; the missing bed clothing from
Young's apartments; two mems opera
hats; pair of blue and white corsets; the
woman's carriers, her drawers, black silk
skirt polka dot waist, the Woman's slip
pers, her hat, three pairs of mems shoes,
all we'll worn; Young's trousers, coat, vest
and undershirt; a piece of wrapping pa
per on which was printed Il. Solomon,
3O5 First street, Hoboken, Outftter';
some red pepper, a broken comb, hair
pin, a bent safetypin and newspaper
clipping Of Sept. 10.
AS soon as the lid of the trunk was
lifted it could be seen that the inside of
the receptacle was covered with blood.
The knife or stiletto was about the first
article lifted out. The blade was covered
with blood it's whole length. After that
each article of clothing was lifted out and
carefully examined.
The woman's skirts, underclothes, a
couple of handkerchiefs and several small
pieces Of rags were found to be saturated
with blood, as we'll as the bed clothing
from Youngs room. Young's trousers,
which showed blood stains were wet,
and Assistant District Attorney Garven
said it appeared to him as if Young, after
the murder, had washed his trousers and
rryit ho11f 1nf
ting them dry. The mans undershirt
was also covered with blood stains. 1t
was remarked at the time the pepper was
found in the trunk that man now in
the custody Of. the Derby, Conn.,, police
had red pepper in his possession. Captain
Titus says that every article that is miss
ing from the Young apartments was found
in the trunk.
The body Of Mrs. Anna Pulitzer was
shipped to-day from the Jersey City
morgue to Perth Amboy, N. j., where her
parents live.
William F. S. Hart, who has been re-
tained to defend Young, received to-day
the following cablegram from John w

London, Sept 22.-The Telegraph holds
that President Roosevelt's declaration at

even his New England addresses. 1t says
that he raises the greatest constitutional
issue. since the civil war. The president
in one sense has cleared the air and
brought his personal program into strong
foucus. In another sense he has probably
jeopardized his prospects of reelection by
placing his trust policy upon basis which
the entire democratic party will reject as
impractical and impracticable, while at
the same time it will be repugnant to a
large section of the republicans them
selves and can never be considered as
promising by any outside observer Of
American affairs. The writer maintains
that combinations are more inevitable
than artificial growth and says that, If
they have nothing to fear before the
amendment of the constitutions takes
place, their demise is not to be anticipated
until sufficiently remote period when it
will be possible to return a verdict of
death from natural causes.
