Rate Is Not Raised Fur.
Their, Hswever.

LONDON. Nov. 21.-The discount rate
of the Bank of England remained un-
changed today at 7 per cent.
This is regarded as an indication
that the directors of the bank are still
hopeful that the American Govern
ment's efforts TO relieve the currency
famine in the United States will prove
successful. but it did not suffice to dis
pei the uneasiness regarding the Amer
lean situation prevailing in the money
market here Lombard street. like the
other European money centres, intends,
it is stated, to remain on the defensive
until the conditions in America have
cleared. The complaint is made here
that the New York bankers seem more
intent on dragging further gold across
the Atlantic than in assisting the au-
thorities in Washington in restoring
confidence among the general public.
The Bank of England lost the greater
part of $40, 000, 900 in gold during the
past week, and American orders for
the metal are still coming in. Very lit
tie gold is arriving here from the con-
tihent to offset the drain, continental
competition for sterling bills having
ceased, a fact which the money market
is inclined to accept as an indication
of the unwillingness of Paris to part
with much more of the metal.
The reiterated reports that American
bankers propose to utilize the new
treasury certificates as a means of at
tracing gold to New York are not ia
vorably received, while the strained
financial situation, both in Chile and
Portugal, further increases the local
tension.

RED AND BLUE
President Would Have Law Passed By Congress Re
 garding Army Uniform
THE PLATTSBURG CASE

Washington, Jan 31.-f President Roosevelt can bring such thing about, congress will pass Q law which will prevent discrimination against the uniform of the army or the navy. Several cases, involving this question. are pending in state courts, but the more recent case of the refusal of a skating rink proprietor at Platts- burg, N. Y., to admit two soldiers in uniform, which was sustained by Judge Everest, of the city court. has given m impetus to the movement set on foot by the president sometime ago to insist that the uniform shall be recognized in all public places.
 An interesting phase of the Platts- burg case developed to-day when 1t became known that Judge Everest, recently wrote the president stating the grounds on which he based his decision, maintaining. in the effect that the case was not one within the meaning of the bill Of rights. affect ing the question of race, creed or col- or. He frankly expressed the opinion, however, that the matter should be taken up by congress and a bill pass ed making 1t an offense to discrlmi- nate against the uniform of the army or the navy. This letter was referred by the president to Chairman Jenkins, of the house judiciary committee. who took a rather conservative view as to the right of congress to deal with the question, but suggesting that the opinion of the judge advocate general and the attorney general might be sought in reference thereto. This has been done.
 In his endorsement. Judge Advo- cate General Davis quotes the lan- guage of the bill of rights of the state of New York which says In part that all persons within the jurisdic- ton of this state shall be entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inns. restaurants, hotels, eating houses" subject to the conditions ''es- tablished by law and applicable alike to all citizens" General Davis adds:
 Tn view of the very general char acter of the language used in the sec tions above cited. 1t is recommended that the papers In this case be re ferred to the department of justice with the request that 1t be examined, with a view to determining the pro- priety of obtaining review of the decision rendered by the court of original Jurisdiction.
