watching with a great deal of inter-
est the experiment which has just
been inaugurated by the Secretary
Of the Treasury, in inviting the banks
which in the past have been in the
habit Of calling on the Treasury to
help them out of every difficulty, TO
help themselves. The New York
banks have notified the Secretary Of
the 2.reasary that there is grow
ing tightnnss Of the money market
as result of large shipments of cur
rency TO the west TO meet the neces-
sity of moving large crop. They
expected, of course, that Mr.. Shaw,
as his predecessor would have done,
would Immediately deposit large
sums Of government funds in their
hands On the contrary, the Secre-
tary has pointed out to them their
ability to meet the deficiency in cur
rency by issuing their own. I'm
der the law, national banks can is
sue bills to the amount OF their CAPT.
tai stock and, as the aggregate stock
OF the national banks amounts to
500, 900, 900, bills TO that amount
could be issued by them. AS mat
ter OF fact, the outstanding bank
notes amount to but 1858, O00, 900 so
that there is a margin of $342, 900,
900 to draw on. II is not known
how the bankers will relish this in
yitation to rely on their own re-
sources and the outcome is being
awaited with interest.

The Sale of Damaged
 Furniture Continues.

There was steady stream of buyers here all day Monday to avail themselves of the special prices on Furniture damaged by the rain early in the month which we announced then would go on sale right af- ter the holidays.
 We had hoped to have all this dam aged Furniture in one place---roped off by itself, apart from the regular stock, but we were unable to do so as we could not make the room A good deal of it was on the fourth floor when 1t was damaged, and so we have been obliged to put the damaged Furniture in with our other Furniture wherever we could find the room in our regular stock---so you will find a piece here and there all over the third floor. It's all plainly tagged
 In great many instances the damage IS so slight that it really does not amount to damage--.just hurt enough to hurt the prlce-that's all. The result is you can buy Furniture practically new at fifth and fourth less than the regular retail price.

BOER COMMANDANT
 SEES ROOSEVELT
HE DID NOT COME TO DISCUSS THE WAR, BUT TO THANK HIM FOR A PERSONAL FAVOR PRE- VIoUSLY RENDERED.

Washington. January 2.-Commandant w. D. Snyman. who was a member of General DeWets staff in South Africa up to year ago, and who for some time has represented the Boer cause in the West, called upon President Roosevelt to- day. Commandant Snyman is tall, fine looking Boer. and talks English with a slightly broken accent.
 q called upon the President" said he, "to thank him for having sent to my wife who is in South Africa some money I desired her to have. I shall always feel grateful to President Roosevelt. I saw my wife's signature today for the first time in months"
 How did your wife get the money?"
 ..Through the United States consul at Capetown and her answer to my letter was returned through the same channel"
 Commandant Snyman did not talk with the President about the war in South Af- rica He did not consider it a proper subject to discuss with the President of the United States.
 'The Boers," said Commandant Sny- man, ''can easily see that the President can do nothing to stop the war, even if he were so disposed. But we will appeal to Congress for an expression of opinion. We hope that both political parties in this country will unite in such an ex- pression. We do not want the matter made a party question or embarrass the United States in any way. I believe the English people would welcome an inter ference sufficient to cause the authorities to stop the war. We are willing to make some concessions"

ORIENTAL BANK TO
 HAVE WIDE SCOPE
ULTIMATE PURPOSE IS THAT THE ENTIRE ORIENT AND SOUTH AMERICA BE INCLUDED IN THE SCHEME.

New York January 2.--The plans of the International Banking Corporation which has been named by the President as rep ository for the portion of the Chinese indemnity due to the United States have been explained by General Thomas H. Hubbard. the President of the Board of Directors of the new corporation He says that after the Philippine agency is established other branches will be insti- tuted in the principal cities of the new insular possessions of the United States. The ultimate purpose is that the entire Orient and South and Central America shall be comprehended by the operations of the bank
 'All of this Is but the natural out growth of the commercial and territorial expansion of the United States" contin- ued General Hubbard. Since the Span ish war and the tremendous trade of re- cent years with South America and the promise of a constantly increasing com merce with China and the Orient the ne- cessity for just such an institution as this has developed.
 Tt will be the purpose of the Inter national Banking Corporation to secure as much as possible of the exchange business heretofore handled by. Berlin and London banks with which this coun- try Is concerned
 The hanks charter by special enact ment of the Connecticut Legislature was obtained last June. General Hubbard said that a branch would be established in New York City where exchange alone would be handled. This New York bank is to be a sort of clearing house for the various branches controlled by the main institution

TROUBLE STILL
 EXISTS IN CHINA  Empress Dowager Has Not Been Reformed by Recent Events FOREIGNERS PESSIMlSTIC Determination to Organize Two Anti Foreign Army Corps Shows the
 Old Spirit Has Not Died
 Out Among Leaders.

Pekin January 2.-Several recent an- nouncements tend to discourage the hope that the Dowager Empress had learned a lesson of reform from the events of the past year. Foreigners are disposed to take a pessimistic view of the outlook. Gen eral Yung Lu's determination to organize two anti-foreign army corps to offset the commands of the pro-foreign Chinese leaders, is particularly disquieting and is evidence of the continued domination of his influence which is bitterly anti foreign.
 Other incidents which are considered significant are the suppression of the only independent newspaper in this city by order of the Governor of Pekin. and the closing of the industrial school here, recently organized by philanthropic Chin csc, also by the governors order.
 School for Destitute Youth Closed.
 This school was intended for the train ing of destitute youths. Other liberal Chinese will hesitate now to give practical vent to their theories, fearing the dis pleasures of offcialdom.
 A third e0lct regarolnB the recent mur- der of a Belgian priest (near Ningth-She- Foo, in Kan Soo provinceJ has appeared. It appoints a special officer to punish those who are guilty of the crime and reaffirms the Dowager Empress good will toward Christians. This is unusual &C., tivity upon the part of the court in the punishm ent of those guilty of anti-Chris- tian outrage and is taken as evidence of the Dowager Empress desire to conciliate the powers upon the eve of the return of the court to Pekin.
 Prince Ching Persuaded Her.
 Proofs accumulate that Prince Ching's arguments pursuaded the Dowager Elm press to trust herself within range of the legation forts. Officials arriving here de- scribe the Dowager Empress and General Yung Lu as being extremely nervous and suspicious lest the foreigners are planning to entrap them after their arri- val and punish them for encouraging box erism.
 The foreigners probably will view the courts re-entry into Pekin from the wall near the legations
 The Chinese officials have been sounded by the ministers as to whether they will enforce the old custom of restraining foreigners from witnessing imperial pro- sessions. The replies are no. encouraging The treaty gives the legations a strip of wall commanding a view of the gates of the imperial city and the members of the foreign community are planning to assem- ble thereon. It will be a great innova- tion.
