partment is to be returned by the bank i'm
meddateiy upon receipt OF the European
gold Secretary Shaw. speaking of the
ground for this action, which is new move
on the part of the Treasury Department,
made the following statement in this city
today:
The price OF exchange having reached a
point where gold ought to have been Inn
ported. and believing the reason why 1t was
not engaged to be the loss on its use during
transit, the subtreasury at New York was
authorized on Thursday afternoon to accept
bonds available as security to savings banks
and to increase the deposit Of any national
bank desiring to import geld to any amount
not exceeding $5,000,O00 TO any one bank,
arrival Of the gold On Friday the limit
was removed authorizing the acceptance or
security and to increase the deposit to any
amount when assured that the money would
be Immediately used in the engagement OF
gold for shipment to the United States.
Twelve million dollars have been thus dis
tributed, The Secretary called attention to
the fact that In this way the banks will
Be ahAe to import gold without losing It's use
During shipment. Formerly the banks were
permitted to count In their reserve gold IN
transit. TAls rule has been changed and
the new rule II now adopted Of advancing
the money on proper security. TO be returned
Immediately on the arrival OF the gold"

ton when President Fillmore laid the cor

its legislators In the world will be laid,
with the Masonic fraternity as the active
participants assisted by President Roose-
welt, who, like Presidents Washington and
Fillmore, is Mason, and who, following
immemorial custom, delivered the principal
address.
Where once was a densely wooded area
in Washingtons time. and near where the
Capitol once stood. the farthermost outpost
of the city, the picture presented today in
the vicinity of the coming office building
of the Representatives is signally changed
Just across a narrow thoroughfare stands
the Congressional Library, with Its golden
dome, and close by is the great Capitol
building, and the city stretches away for
long distances In every direction
The Masonic Fraternity.
In commemoration of today's event the
Masonic fraternity Of the District was or

ONLY FRANCE INVITED.
Diplomats Have Not Been Asked to
the Paul Jones Ceremonies.

France is the only foreign power which
has been invited to participate In the Paul
Jones ceremonies at Annapolis April "a.
Some of the members of the diplomatic
corps have been anxiously awaiting invita-
lions to the ceremonies, that they might
know exactly what their part In the affair
was to be, but today 1t became known that
France alone is to Join officially In the re-
interment of the American naval hero.
AS the British ambassador could not be
invited to take part in the gloriffcation of
John Paul Jones naval triumphs 1t was
thought best not to extend an invitation to
other nations, as such action might have
caused criticism.
