INsURING CURRENCY.
How Banks Guard Against Loss of
Money shipped ms Registered Mail.

New York Evening Post.
The careless way with which large pack
ages OF bank notes were tossed through the
windows of the New York postoffice this
week for transmission to out-of-town points
has excited the wonder OF persons familiar
with the risks involved and the sums ct
stake. The movement is specially heavy
just nov. aggregating from 100000 to So
100000 week and including consignments
from most OF the large banks and banking
houses in the city. The currency is sent
everywhere in single packages containing
$4,000 or less. protected by policies of in
surance protecting the owners against every
possible hazard at rates varying from Is
cents to W cents per ST. 900 of currency in
sured- Most of the notes are five, ten and
twenty-doilar denominations besides sup
plies OF ones and twos for use as hand to
poses.
These transfers go to all sections of the
United States. Canada, Great Britain, and
10 continental points. The business has
now grown 10 large proportions and is
written by some Of the strongest insurance
companies OF Europe and America One
very interesting claim paid few days ago
was for the loss OF parcel containing
e. 200 In bank notes shipped through the
mails by Canadian institution. The desti-
nation was a small postoffice where the
business was so light that the postmaster
not having the use OF a safe in which to
store yaluables was forced to take home
every night undelivered registered mail that
arrived during the day. The package of
bank notes was taken out OF the Office I'm this
way and Just before the postmaster reached
home he was attacked by footpads and re-
lieved OF the money. The loss Las imme-
dintely reported and the insurance company
ut once reimbursed the institution. at the
same time Offering $500 reward for the de-
lection OF the thief. The case has not been
cleared up yet.
Packages containing $4,000 of insured
bank notes were on the train that went
through a bridge I'm a Southern State last
week New York underwriters were much
concerned over the incident until they dis
covered that the car I'm which the insured
packages were stored remained safe on the
rails. The largest single risk ever written
was taken In England some time ago when

TO STUDY COTTON

Germany VIII Send Young Students
to Texas Fields.
Berlin, Nov. 17.-The German Colo
NAL Society contemplates the sending
of a number of young men to Texas
agricultural and technical schools to
study the methods of growing and
marketing cotton. The young men
will spend a year on the cotton plan
tation, and so acquire practical eX-
perience, which later they will employ
in the German colonies.
The students will sign contract to
spend a number of years in the service
of the German Colonial Society for the
purpose of introducing the growing of
cotton after the American system. The
enterprise is the outgrowth of a sug-
eestion by the German consul at Gal
weston, who undertakes to make the
ARRANGEMENTS for the preparation of
the students.
The society has just sent a Texan
named Becker to OAR -Salaan i'll
German East Africa. who will be the
first American cotton expert to arrive
there. The latest reports from Ger
man East Africa indicate that inter-
est in cotton growing is spreading, and
that many new communities are engag-
ing in the industry. The crop this
wear will be the largest known there.
Expert Beckers work will consist
principally in finding new localities
adapted for the growing of cotton. The
colonial society points to recent spec
ulation in the American market as a
reason for seeking to, if possible, make
Germany independent of the American
supply.

spouse by Thomas Barclay, ex-presi-
dent of the British Chamber of Com
merce, in Paris.
A letter from President Roosevelt
was read. in which he said:
NO body of men can render a great
er service, not only to the American
business world, but to the American
body polite, than has been rendered
by the Chamber of Commerce. The
true idea of this country is that hand
in hand with it's material development
there shall go a high and fine sense
of responsibility to the public on the
part of those whose power and ability
enable them to take the lead in this
material development. 1t is the good
fortune, not only of the state of New
York, but of all our people, that we
can conscientiously say of the Cham
Der of Commerce that among its MEM
bers we have found to an unusually
high degree this combination of great
business ability and the spirit which
practices and demands integrity IN
public and private affairs alike"
Secretary Shaw had carefully pre-
pared speech, but toward its end he
departed from it. He said in part:
we are going to dig the Panama
canal. Do you realize that this is
equal to our voting a subsidy to the
commerce of all the countries of Eu-
rope? 1t will benefit them all, but we
believe it viii benefit us still more.
Your shipping men know that if two
vessels started from Liverpool for San
Francisco one by the Suez canal and
one by Cape Horn, they would both
beat a vessel sailing from New York
to San Francisco around the Horn
That is one of the reasons why we
must have the canal.
1--WE must have the ships to carry
the trade. We could dig a Panama
canal every day without hurting any
body's pocket. Hence. if we must
raise money to help the merchant ma
rine 1t will not be hard"

70 abandon the effort to erect a monu-
ment to the late President in Atlanta,
and will notify the subscribers to the
fund at once that the money which
they have paid is at their disposal.
In all only $1,000 was subscribed, and
this is what made it necessary to
abandon the plan. AS the proposed
monument was to cost $1,000.
1t has been suggested that the funds
be added to that which has been raised
TO erect a monument to the late Lieut..
Brumby of the navy, one of the heroes
of Manila. The consolidation of the
two funds would give total of about
$4,000, which would put up a hand
