Utters a Warning.

Washington, Sept. 2G.-Ellis III.
Roberts, treasurerof the United States,
who is attending the joint convention
of the Maryland and District of Co
lunlbia Bankers association, which Is
being held on board steamboat on
the Potomac river, delivered the fol
lowing address before that convention:
Current financial discussion deals in
much the larger part with national
bank notes. They constitute less than
one-sixth of our stock of money, $41S,-
5S7,975 out of $2,70S, ,693, ,663, and no
legislation can change that ratio very
materially. Gold, on the other hand,
furnishes 81 ,267. 733 $40, or hard on to

money in circulation gold in coin and
certificates is $1.014 ,520,0TS; bank
notes are just less than 100000.
And again, look at the treasury hold
ingS The gold there is today the
largest sum ever recOrded-$653,0 ,0OO,-
600. Our treasury holds three andnine-
tenths times the amount of gold be-
longing to the Bank of England,
which is $166, $4,000; it is more than
three and eight-tenths times that of
the Imperial German Bank, which is
$170,3T1. 900, or very nearly three
times that of the AustrO-H Hungarian
bank, which is $221, ,4O4, 900; it lacks
only $S,OOO.000 of being equal to that
of both the Banks of England and
France, which later holds $494, 100000,
and it exceeds the amount of Russia
Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands
combined.
And Still There's More to Tell.
''This is not the whole case. These
foreign treasures are practically the
sole basis of the finances of the respec-
tive nations. On the holdings of the
Bank of England rests the credit. pub

BaIfour on the Situation.
London, Sept 2G.-Premier BalfoUr,
in a long letter TO the Archbishop of

the Macedonian situation. The letter
is a reply to the archhiShOps action

unPasiness among church men at the
apparent apathy of the powers. while
unspeakable atrocities are perpetrated
in Macedonia Balfour says he is in
entire sympathy with the feelings OF
horror and Indignation. and fully un-
derstandS the desire TO give expression
in public meeting to the sentiment OF
reprObation which recent events juSti-
fed. Balfour then proceeds to analyze
the situation.
Some Complications of the Problem.

OPINION
REMAINS
UNCHANGED
Oklahoma Republicans Were
MyStifed by FirStInterview
EX-DELEGATE LYNN TALKS
Interview Given Out by West
ern Paper Squares Things.

Guthrie. o. T, May 6-In an interview
given out in Washington, ex-Delegate
Dennis T. Flynn announces that the re-
cent statements on the statehood question
credited to him, that the only hope okla
homa had for statehood was with an alli-
ence with the Indian territory. We're not
authorized by him. Oklahoma Republi-
cans were considerably mystifed by the
first interview and could not account for
Ar Flynns alleged change of position.
The statements supposed to have been
made by him were entirely out of line
with statements made by him in Okla
homa, and the territorial press immediate
y took up thematter. asking the question
why Mr.. Flynn should change his opinion
OF the statehood question
The interview given out for a western
paper is similar TO statements made by
slr. Flynn many times in Oklahoma on
the statehood problem. He says as fol-
lows:
"Uudl the next territorial Republican
convention meets, statehood for Oklaho-
ma under these conditions is the Repub-
Iican platform" said Mr. Flynn. "and il
must rest with the party in convention
assembled and not with the leaders. or
Bo-called- leaders to make any change,
should one be deemed necessary. Mr.. Nc.
CURE. with oklahoma united and advo-
rating any kind Of statehood bill. will
meet with obstacles enough from other
Eources and should, therefore. have the
unanimous support at least Of the Re
publicans Of Oklahoma. What congress
may do. if it does anything at all with
statehood in view of the coming presi-
Dental election, IS a matter that neither
myself nor anybody else can now fore
tell"
How about the report that you are de-
sirous Of being the next national commit
teeman from Oklahoma"
This is the first I've heard of that -
said Mr. Flynn. "The convention to elect
delegates also selects the member of the
national committee TO serve during the
next four years. Experience has taught
me thai the Republican party of Okla
homa in convention assembled. OF the del
egates selected by it. always knows what
Is best to DE done and who should be the
proper man to represent the party as a
member of the national committee. This
convention is probably about FIVE months
of yet, and it strikes me that it is little
early TO begin to count the chickens. as
