WHARTON BARKER'S PLAN.
Suggests Plan For Government Bank
ing in Letter to tho Committee
on Finance Of y. 5. Senate.

Wharton Barker, mid road candi,
date for president in 1900, has outlined
anational bank plan to be submitted to
congress. 1t proposes the establish
ment by the government Of central
bank at Washington, with branch
banks in thirty-one Of the larger
cities of the country. The banks to
be managed by a president and thir.
ty-one directors. The president of
the system shall be selected by the
president of the United States, by and
with the consent Of the senate. The
thirty-one directors shall be chosen
by the president Of the United States
On the recommendation of the board
OF trade in the city where each is to
have charge Of the branch bank, such
nomination to be also concurred in
by the senate. A local directory of
ten members for each branch bank is
also provided for. The bank is to be
one of deposit and discount, but not
of issue. That is to be function of
the government, uninhuenced by the
bank department, except as it may re-
port the scarcity or surplusage of
money in the country. The capital
stock is to be 500, 600, 900, stock to be
held by the president OF the United
States, the secretary of the treasury
and the comptroller of the currency,
acting as trustees. 1t is to be de-
pository for all funds of the United
States, and also the only lawful de-
pository for national bank reserves.
On these deposits interest is to be paid
at the rate ofstwo per cent per annum.
The government banks are to act as
clearinghouse between the different
parts of the country, thus doing away
to q great extent with the necessity Of
chipping large sums back and forth.
In letter to the finance committee of
the United. States senate. Mr.. Barker
gives the following reasons for advo-
eating the establishment of such
bank:
"Because Of the serious condition
of the banks of. New York last Sep
tember; because of action at that time,
probably necessary, of the secretary
of the treasury, faction for which l
find no warrant: because of the con-
tinuing uncomfortable, if not bad,
condition in financial quarters, aud
because of the suggestions (f the Sec
retary of the treasury, the comptroller
of the currency and of others more Or
less influential and we'll informed, ]
venture the presentation for your con-
sideration of some views and sug-
gestions on financial affairs of the
highest concern. In my opinion law
full reserve money OF national banks
should be held in the vaults Of the
several local banks Or deposited with
bank of the United States, so that
at all times the money may be avail
able to meet the checks aud drafts up
on local and home banks be a real
and not an imaginary reserve-insure
confidence, not cause doubt and some
times financial panic. Because the
national banks of New York use the
deposits with them of banks situated
outside that city-a large part the

When the coal strike was declared off

Furthermore. 1t seems to be something
more than q mere Incidental report.
Investigation yesterday developed the fact
that when Dr. Strange was called to Rich
mond this very fact was laid before the
vestry-that he would some day be made
bishop of East Carolina and be taken
away again. The church called him
nevertheless, but 1t is fact that even
ct that early date the people of the do
to Bishop Watson. A prominent member
Of the vestry OF st, Paul's was seen last
night, and he admitted without hesitation
that the rumors had been abroad for a
very long time and that there had been
q recent revival Of them.
when we extended call to Dr..
Strange, he said. one OF the obstac c! es
thrown In our way by the North Caro-
lima people who wanted to keep him there
was the statement that they would some
day mako him bishop and bring him back
again. That was remote sort of thing
then, however and wo decided to call
him anyhow. We did so and he came.
When the Council met some months ago
1t was said that a coadjutor would be
elected and that DR., Strange would be
chosen. But the matter was not gone into.
A special Council has now been called,
however. and the name OF Dr.: Strange
Is mentioned again. OF course. we have
no way OF knowing here what will happen.
For myself, speaking personally It would
not surprise me In the slightest degree IL
his name came before the Council, If no
received large number of votes. and II
no were elected coadjutor. Still. there Is
no telling what delagate to the Council
will do-how he will vote. have known
cases where not single vote was cas-
for the man who, It was generally con-
ceded before the election would be chosen.
Much Liked Here.
DR.. Strange came to Richmond In tho
tall OF the year 1900, ana IN the course Of
his ministry here has made many warm
friends and admirers. He Is much loved
by his cungregati ton, one OF the strongest
and most important In the State. For
some time after he came, DR., Strange
was In III health, but recent extended
trim abroad has done much to restore him
to his wonted v!gor Recently he has
appeared particularly well, He Is ono OF

When he came TO Richmond. DR., Strange

thew went through long, but losing fight

He Is Likely to Be Called to

TO AID BISHOP ,F'!', WATSON
The Latter, an Aged and Feeble Man,
Has Asked for an Assistant-Dr.
Strange Is Much Beloved
Il re.

From what can be gathered nere con-
corning the matter, there appears a
strong Likelihood that the Rev Robert
Strange, D. D., rector Of st. paul's Epis.
copnl Church, OF this city, will be elected
Bishop coadjutor Of Eastern North Car
DINA at a meeting Of that diocese which
hag been called for the early part OF
October
Nothing positive can be stated, Of
course, but there Is ever indication that
the long ex pected will happen. and the
popular Richmond pastor will In this
manner be called back to his old field
Of work, where he Is SO greatly beloved.
For some tme past his name has been
connected with the bishopric OF Eastern
North Carolina, and It Is no new thing
to the inner circle OF the church and to
the clergymen generally that things were
moving In this direction. But up to a
week ago the present aged and enfeebled
bishop Of the diocese had asked for no
assistant. Now he has done so, and the
Gull has been issued for special council
to be held October 18th at Greensboro for
the election Of a coadjutor. 1t Is gener-
nily believed that Or. Strange Will be
chosen.

The announcement of the step taken by

prompt revival of the report that DR..
Strange will be the one selected for the
important office. The general feeling
seems to be that the choice will fall upon

The Present Bishop.

The blshopric Is filled at the present

D. D. one OF the oldest bishops In the
church. He is. perhaps, eighty-hve years
OF age and is daily growing more feeble
AT the present time the condition OF his
Health Is such that 1t IS Imperative
that he be relieved OF the strenuous du-
ties OF his office. Some time ago Bishop
Gibson, of this diocese, went to North
Carolina to help Bishop Watson out.
