OFFERS TO ANT|C|PAE
On the Payment of Some $780,
100000 of Not Due Interest
on Government Bonds.
sHAW's LATEST FINANCIAL MOVE
Intended to Increase the Circulation
and TO Relieve the Money
Stringency.

washington, Sept 26. - Secretary
Shaw yesterday gave out the follow
ing statement: Money once covered
into the treasury (and this, of course,
includes the sub-treasuries) can not
thereafter be deposited in banks. All
custom receipts are by law payable to
the treasury and sub-treasuries. The
only fund therefore available in banks
is internal revenue and miscellaneous
receipts before they have been actually
covered into the treasury These
amount to about half million per day,
and since the stringency arose to their
fullest extent have been steadfastly
returned to circulation. This policy
will be continued for thirty or sixty
days if needed and longer if necessary.
Is Making No Experiments.
''In the meantime national bank cfr-
culation has been Increased about 81
100000, largely induced by the distri-
button OF deposits and the further in-
crease to the amount of SSOOO,0O0 is
assured. All rumors of experiments
have been unauthorized by the treas
ury department. 1t is to be hoped
that the public will place no credence
in vagaries started by irresponsible
and untruSted men of the street Ii is
also hoped that the country will I'M
derstand that the treasury department,
to the extent OF its ability, will stand
by the banks, east and west, north and
south, and il is hoped also that the
banks will stand by every business and
every interest that is worth protect
ing.
How to Get the Money Out.
THE only way to get money out Of
the treasury into circulation. after it
has been actually covered in. is by the
payment of legal obligations of the
government. These may be antici-
pated. The department did anticipate
the October interest. 1t now offers to
anticipate all interest maturing he
tween Oct. l and the end of the fiscal
year. if presented within sixty days,
at a rebate of 2-tenths of 1 per cent
per month"; which is at the rate of "a per
cent per annum. In other words these
obligations will be prepaid at such
rate as to allow the government to
profit thereby at "a per cent. per an
mum.
Would Release Over $2O,OOO,OOO.
"The amount maturing before June
30. 1903. is in round figures $20,650.-
600 The profit to the government If
this offer shall be accepted will be In
round figures $4,000. There will be
no experiments tried and no policy
adopted until after mature deliberation
and no feelers will be sent out Any
thing to the contrary should be dis
credited"

calling upon congress to adopt some
method to restrict immigration by
means of some educational test.
The resolution cited that over 100,-
600 iIliterates are landed in this coun-

of public morality and enlightenment,
and that the illiteracy test embodied in
a bill now pending before congress is
the best practical way of reducing the
