SHAW CoRRECTS A RUMoR
Secretary of the Treasury Issues an
Explanatory Circular 60 Va
tional Banks.

WASHINGTON, oct. 4.-Secretary Of the
Treasury Shaw has issued the following cir
cular to national banks:
A wholly unauthorized and unfounded re-
port appears to have been sent from Wash
ington yesterday, calculated TO mislead,
with reference TO the action taken by the
secretary OF the treasury relative TO the
maintenance OF reserves against govern
ment deposits secured by government bonds.
either as to the law or the action taken by
the department, you are advised:
The national banking act. as you are well
aware, lays down the rule that all associa-
items shall maintain certain reserve against
all deposits, failing to do which the comp
ISOLATION to make good such reserve; fall
ing to do which within thirty days the
comptroller may, with the concurrence OF
the secretary of the treasury, appoint a
receiver" etc.
The law therefore lays down the rule
that the reserve shall be maintained. but
lodges discretion with the comptroller and
with the secretary OF the treasury as TO the
enforcement Of the rule. You are notified
that the rule will not be enforced so far
as It relates to government deposits secured
by government bonds.
II must be borne In mind In this connec-
ton that II Is not the intention of the de-
partment to encourage increased credit,
/ On the contrary, very great conservatism
should be exercised.
But IL Is the desire of the department
that no worthy business interest shall SUI.
fer simply because a bank has invested It's
money In government bonds to secure a
government deposit, and to that extent haS
relieved the treasury from a growing sur
plus, and has thus restricted its capacity

KNOX ON WILC0x'S VIEWS
Attorney General cites some Previous
Expressions Published In n Mag
aEine Months ~

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE attorney gem
eral today stated that he had been asked
about the report that Mr.. wilcox had al
legged at the meeting yesterday at the
White House that he had written to the
president and attorney general in June last,
calling attention to the fact that the United
Mine Workers association was a trust in
terfering with the operations Of the Della
ware A. Hudson River company In mining
coal In Pennsylvania. Mr.. Knox said:
'I did not take Mr.. Wilcox seriously upon
this subject. Any one desiring to know his
calm views upon that subject deducted from
the decisions OF the supreme court OF the
United States will be much interested In
two articles by Mr.. Wilcox. the nrst one
entitled, THE Recent Construction OF the
Antitrust Act" in the Forum for Decem-
Der, 1898, and the other upon The Futility
Of the Antitrust Act" in the Forum, Feb
ruary, 1900.
I'm the hrst of these articles Mr.. Wilcox
expresses his construction Of the statute in
these words: The statute applies to moth
ing save interstate which begins
when the subjects thereof begin to move to
their place OF destination and ends wher
they are sold. Local facilities or individual
services incident to this operation are nc
part OF interstate and are not
covered by the act
I'm both his articles Mr.. Wilcox makes
clear that he thinks mining and its opera
lions are not within the provisions Of tht
statute
