CoBURN STORY DENIED.
The Kansas Man Will Not Succeed secre-
tary of Ayr: culture Wilson in the
Presidents Cabinet.

Washington, Dec. 28-The most
positive denials are given of the story
that F. D. Coburn, secretary of the
state board of agriculture of Kansas,
is to succeed Secretary Wilson. When
the fact that Gov. Shaw had accepted
the tender of the treasury portfolio
was made public the announcement
was made that Secretary Wilson
would remain in the cabinet and the
same statement was reiterated at the
white house in the most emphatic
manner. The president is anxious
that Secretary Wilson should remain
and the secretary himself has in
formed the president that he will be
glad to do so.

Revolutionary Event.

Trenton, N. J., Dec. 27.-The 125th
anniversary of the battle of Tren-
ton was deliberately celebrated here
Thursday. The sham battle did not
commence until after ten O'Clock, ow-

the national guard from out-of-town

Washington, Gen. Sullivan and the
Hessians for more than an hour occu-
pied the streets and covered the
ground that was gone over in the
original battle and realistic picture
of that battle was presented except
the suffering which the American
forces underwent because of the cold
weather and their ineff1ciency of
clothing.

TALKS OF NEW BANK
To New York Financiers Gage
Outlines His Plans.
Favors Central Institution with S5O,oOo,-
900 Capital Which Would Be Owned and
Controlled by the 1890 National
Banks of the Country.

New York, Dec. 26.-It is learned
that Secretary Gage, in his talk to
the New York bankers invited to meet
him at the dinner given by Frank A.
Vanderlip at the Metropolitan club,
gave more details of his plan for
central bank than were included in
his annual report. The secretary said
that he would organize central bank
by permitting each bank to subscribe
to stock of such bank equal to five
per cent. of its capital, which would,
taking the capital of the banks of the
! country as a basis of 1000, OO0, 900
from the 4,30O national banks, pro-
vide fund of about $50,000,O0O. Each
$1,000 of stock would be entitled to a
vote; the stockholders to elect the
directors, and the directors to appoint
. the officers. The government, he said,
should have no representation in the
dictatorship or management,
The bank would not receive the &C
counts of business firms or corpora
tons, but simply the accounts of it's
constituent stockholding banks. The
bank should be enabled to establish
branches at different points where,
for example, the subtreasur1es now
exist. The subtreasuries should be
abolished entirely. More important
still was the proposition which the
secretary offered that the central
bank should have the exclusive right
to issue bank notes in times of finan-
c1al emergency or whenever the
banks resources were not sufficient
to enable it to supply the legitimate
demands of commerce, to the extent
of four times the capital, or, saw
about 5000, 1000.
