6 would make it an institution to

banks. If you have any prejudice
against the word, suppose we do not
call 1t bank. but central agency
for the existing banks, through which
they are to perform certain functions
which will be serviceable to them and
to the community. 1t should take
over all the government moneys, just
as the foreign banks do. That would
end the whole vexed problem of the
government deposits. Every bank in
the country, by virtue of It's stock in
the central organization, would have
Its proportionate benef1et from the gov.
eminent deposits. The central organ
ization should have the privilege of
note issue up to say s1000O0,000 and
more under a tax provision. 1t should
make loans only to its stockholders

solutely closed and confine the opera
lions of the bank to the strictly COM
mercial field, handling paper which is
based on staple commodities on their
way to market. There would be no
danger than that its resources would
be tied up unfortunately in unavail
able assets. Its paper would be con-
stantly changing and the bank would
always be in shape to help keep bust
ness moving.
Works Well Abroad.
1T ought to have weight with us
that every country in Europe has
solved the problem to the satisfaction
and all have come to the same sys-
TEN Nowhere is there any talk of
change. The central bank, under joint
private and public control, gives them
an elastic currency and manages the
operations of the public treasury SO
that the receipts and disbursements
are never a disturbing factor.

are as ingenious and original as ours
the most inventive and enterprising
and progressive people in the world,

New York, Sept. If the plans Of
the public service commission of this
state carry that body, after the next
session of the legislature, will have
supervision over telephone and tele-
graph companies to about the same
extent that it now has supervision
over railroads and street railways, gas
and electric lighting companies and
common carriers generally. Plans are
on foot to bring the telephone and
telegraph companies within the scope
of the public service act and these
plans are said to have the sanction Of
Governor Hughes.
From an authentic source it is
learned that the public service board
for this district has already taken the
matter up with it's counsel, Abel
Blackmar, and that memoranda for a
legislative amendment to the present
act have been made from which later
on bill to be presented at Albany at
the next session will be drawn.

AGREE TO FRENCH TERMS
Moroccan Tribesmen Decide to
Lay Down Their Arms.

Paris, Sept The bloody war In
Morocco has ended. Peace has been
declared in the land of the Moors.
General Drude has been victorious
and the rebellious tribesmen have
been forced to accede to every one of
his demands. General Drude demand
ed an unconditional surrender. At
first there was much murmuring, but
the stern attitude of the French COM
mander and the continued presence of
his soldiers, together with the over
whelming defeats of the past two
weeks, compelled the rebels to sub.

The government has received with
great satisfaction a dispatch from
Rear Admiral Philibert, the comman-

roccan waters, saying that as a result
Of a conference at General Drude's
headquarters between the French ma

nineteen caids, representing the Oule-

cisco. On the night of June 10, which
was stormy and bitterly cold, while
Captain Johnson was trying to make
the New Years island light, the bark
went ashore and soon broke up. Eleven
OF the thirteen men in the crew sue
ceeded in reaching strip Of sand
sheltered somewhat by overhanging
rocks. At dawn 1t was discovered
that Sabata, the Japanese cook, and
Harry Hammond, sailor, were miss
ing. The strip Of sand was narrow
and huge cliffs barred any escape
across the island. Captain Johnson
soon died Of exposure and was buried
in the sand. The survivors had few
provisions and subsisted on these.
Meantime boat was laboriously built
from the wreckage. But fear that the
provisions would not last led to two
of the men, S. Porthin and Joseph
Hosteth. trying to work across the
