The Political Atmosphere Thick
With Rumors OF Impend-
ing Political Upheayal
CABINET MEETING ON MONDAY
chamberiain's Fiscal Policy, the South
African War Scandals and the salk-
an Horrors Have Aroused Intense
Feelins-stronser Attitude Toward
Turkey Probable.

ASSOCIATED Press Gable letter.
London. Sept. PA special meeting
or the cabinet has been summoned FOR
sept. IA, and the political atmosphere
is thick with rumors. These include
reports that the government will break
up and general election be held. Or
at least the cabinet be reorganized. on
the other hand. 1t is declared that no
open breach will be developed, and with
the exception of providing another Of
fice for the new Marquis OF Salisbury,
who, as Lord Cranberne, was under
secretary Of foreign affairs, things will
go on much as they have before.
The original cause Of the summons
sent at this unusual period in the year.
was for discussion OF Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlains fiscal proposals,
and preparation for Premier Balfour's
promised pronouncement upon that
subject. Since then the fiscal agitation
has become almost a secondary inter-
est, intense feeling having been aroused
by the South African war commission
report, while public sentiment IL also
deeply exercised over the Balkan hor-
rors. Such a staunch supporter Of the
government as the Pail Mall Gazette
warns the cabinet that 1t must take ac-
ton to remedy the scandals revealed
by the commission, while the Times.
backed by the Liberal press, demands
greater British initiative in putting to
an end the massacres In Macedonia.
In this connection 1t Is said that Ball
four will see King Edward before this
meeting of his colleagues Monday. The
king has been taking an active interest
in the Balkan situation, and the inter-
view may result In some stronger at.
titude on the part of the government.
The Associated Press learns Balfour
himself does not anticipate any crisis
lnecessitating cabinet resignation
arising Monday, though antagonism Of
the Duke of Devonshire, lord president
Of the council, and Chancellor Of Ex-
chequer Ritchie towards Chamberlain's
propaganda may create breaches which
even Balfour cannot forsee. It Is an
nounced that by middle Of next week
official papers showing the result Of
the governments investigation OF Great
|.Britain's fiscal status will be published.
The chief whip OF one OF the political
parties informed the Associated Press
today that the most astute politicians
cannot forecast approaching develop
ments, but the sanest surmise points
to another period OF uncertainty. with
mebers Of the cabinet taking opposing
views on the fiscal question, while the
government as whole attempts to
remedy the i'll effects Of the war scan
dals in all branches Of life. especially
business and political Consequently,
Mondays meeting Of the ministers IS
anticipated with intense interest and
no little apprehension.

BANKS ON BLACKLIST
Secretary Shaw, II is Said, Will Not
Deposit Public Money With Those
Banks Which Seek to Raauee Their
circnIa&;ou

Washington, Sept ia Washing
ton special to the Record Herald from
Walter Wellman. says:
Secretary Shaw is evidently prepar-
ine, to put upon a black list all those
national banks which seek to reduce
their circulation. The secretary is due
at his Office next Monday. Pending his
return. the officials of the treasury de-
partment, doubtless acting under his
orders. are preparing a deadly parallsl
column. On one side Of the ledger are
written down the names of all those
banks which have applied for deposits
of share of the internal revenue re-
ceipts. In the opposite column appear
the names of all banks which have al
ready arranged to reduce their circula-
ton, or which have made apple alton
for such reduction, but whose requests
have been deferred by operation of the
$3000,o00 month limitation.
While Secretary Shaw is not here,
and in his absence treasury officials
declined to state what the pre- gram
Is. there is small room to doubt the
purpose Of this deadly parallel column
Is to enable the secretary to pu: into
practical effect his oft ft-repeated warn
ing that no bank which voluntarily
curtails its circulation, shall enjoy any
Of the benefits to be derived from de-
posit of share OF the surplus.
Something much resembling war Is
on between the secretary of the treas
ury and large number of national
bankers. Before leaving the city ten
days ago Mr.. Shaw spoke spoke his
mind in exceedingly forcible language
regarding the banks which seek 10 cut
down their circulation because the per
centage OF circulation nominalfy re-
dundant nets them a loss of fraction
of i per cent.
The secretary is disgusted with that
cheese-paring policy which considers
only the few dollars of profit or loss
Immediately In sight, and takes 10 ac-
count of the important interests iavolv-
ed, of which, in the secretary's opin-
Ion, every national banker should re-
gard himself as sort of a trustee The
business world, thinks Secretary Shaw,
has the right to volume of circula
ting currency, sufficient for its needs,
without paying tribute in the form of
high interest rates due to the tempor
airy scarcity.
The department strains every point
to help out the banks and the CONNER
cial world by devices to avert stringen-
cy, but many banks chasing the nim-'
BILE dollar. fail to cooperate and re-
duce their circulation whenever mo-
iety of their outstanding volume fails
to pay an Immediate profit. Last
year during the so-called crop rnoving
stringency, the secretary favored banks
which had not reduced their circula-
ton. Now, according to the appsaran-
ces of things, in the treasury depart
ment, he is ready to apply the corol-
larry and refuse deposits of the sur
plus funds to banks which reduce their
circulation.

year and a half ago with the request
that it be deposited in this church.
But under the church rules there was
bership in good faith. and Secretary
Shaw is therefore at the present time
a member OF the First NJ. T.. church and
eligible as a candidate TO represent the
Des Moines conference at Los Angeles
in May next 1t is learned that some OF
the friends of the secretary advised him.
at the time, against, taking out his
church membership from this district.
But the return of the church letter
leaves DIR. Storms and the First church
in something of predicament. l.. M.
Mann is a candidate for lay delegate,
and it is too much to expect that any
one church shall have two delegates.
Mann has gone too deep to get out
without humiliation. Then there are
other candidates from Des Moines
churches. including DR.. j. F. Kennedy,
secretary of the state board of health.
The unexpected return of Shaw to the
district and as a candidate from the
First NJ. e. church, is not pleasing to
them. In fact some of these candidates
hint that they are quite ready to give
the secretary of the treasury run for
his money this time. They say that in
asmuch as he has been out OF the dis
trict year and half and has escape
contributions to the church anywhei
by carrying his church letter abou
they feel that he Is not entitled to a.
any favors. II he should come as
delegate from his old church at Denison
and be credited there, they would not
so much object but his return to the
Des Moines church disarranges the en-
tire program. They also feel that mas
much as he has had the honor for six
teen years it is time to pass 1T around.
In short. there is a good deal of feeling
aroused over the sudden change in the
situation here incident to the return
of Secretary Shaw to membership in
the First Church Of Des Moines. Out
side Of Des Moines the sentiment is
said to be quite favorable to the Sc
lection of Shaw as delegate on the
ground that his presence on the dele
CATION would make 1t one of the most
conspicuous and influential delegations
at Los Angeles and he would greatly
honor the district by his presence. The
matter will be settled some time next
