VELVET BANK NOTES.
May Not Prove Popular With the
 People.


 Washington Special to Cinsinnat Com
 merc.al Tribune.
 There Is some question whether or not the proposed plan of the government to do away with the crisp bank no:e" will be a popular move with people who are required to handle a great deal of money. Bank tellers. cashiers in various places and others who each business day in the year count out thousands and thousands of dollars undoubtedly prefer the crisp bill to a soft, si ky affair. Any kind of money Is prefer able to dirty. filthy money. but the officials of the government con- tend that the proposed new money will not get dirty and filthy as quickly as the money used at present.
 Just when the change will he made is not known. Officials at the Bureau Of Engraving and Printing have been ex- perimenting for five or six years on a certain kind of paper to be used in print ing bank notes. They state now that they have succeeded.
 The paper is given secret chemical treatment which will prevent inc shrihk- age of the paper and will render the pa rer soft and velvety. It Is also claimed that under the proposed new process bank notes can be turned out in sixty days less time. which is regarded as extremey III, :, portant during the present commercial era when large quantities of new money are demanded immediately.
 Already other governments have hearo of the new process and are making over lures to secure permission to use the new process in making paper to De lseo ior their stamps money, maps. etc
 The United States owns the patent on the process. and so far there IS no m e,inafion to let other governments in on what is considered by the officials to be . good thing. The patent on the secret of the process belongs to the umted States government and not to the onclal who made the discovery as he mas been maid already to make the experiments

DANISH WEST INDIES.
Present Government Impractical and
 Expensive.

Berlin. Aug. 3l.-The National Zeitung says the Spanish West Indian Commis- sion is said. to have reported as follows to Finance Minister Hague
 The whites of the island hope from the newly awakened interest of Denmark in the islands, for an improvement of the economic conditions and fostering of civ ilizing influence. The negroes are for a great part ignorant and know little about Denmark. The administration of the is- land was found to be impractical and ex- pensive and the hygienic conditions en- tirely unsatisfactory.
 It Is believed. says The National Zeit- ung. that the commission will report in favor of reducing the military establish ment on the islands and recognizing the gendarmie on modern lines. The report will also suggest that more attention be paid to public instruction, the improve ment of the hospitals, the tobacco grow ing industry and the raising of corn.
