GOLD COINS.
Why G2nkcrs Don't Like Then, and
Prefer to Handle PaSer

Prefer to Handle Pager.
"Of the different kinds Of American
money now in circulation the gold
coins of all denominations are the most
disliked in my business" said promi-
pent New York banker
Take greenback. d silver or a gold
certificate or II national bank note to
your Ia X and it is received and plac
ed to your credit without moments
delay Not so with gold. \ few days
ago a gentleman brought to our bank
upward Of $1,000 in gold of different
denominations and was much provoked
because we would not receive il and
give him credit with the amount the
face of the coin represented. This we
could not do because the law requires
that gold shall be redeemed only ut It's
actual value. Coins carried in the
pocket for any length of time naturally
lose something by abrusion-probably
but n fractional part OF u cent on ten
dollar piece, but il is a loss neYerthe-
less-and therefore bankers cannot give
credit for gold deposits until the coin
shall have been weighed. In the case
mentioned my friend took his gold to
the subtreaSury and was compelled TO
wait there nearly an hour before he
could get notes for it.
Every coin had to be passed through
the scales. and after the weighing proc
css had been completed three of the
coins-two five dollar pieces and ten
dollar piece-were returned to him as
short in weight Before returning short
weight coins the department stamps on
the face OF each coin cross. The
owner is either left to send the coins to
the United States mint for redemption
or again put them into circulation.
Eventually the coins with crosses on
their faces will go to the mint and be
redeemed at their actual value. In
many instances there may not be more
than several cents shortage on $50
worth Of coins. Business men, how
ever. naturally object to the inconven-
fence and get rid Of their gold as fast
as possible. New York Press.

JAPAN PREPARES

Nathan Bentz. one OF the Manchuria
passengers who were here at the time
Of the wreck. and who went on to Jap.

an Is undoubtedly preparing for war
with tho United States. Speaking of
his outward trip from here on the
Hongkong Maru he says:
among the passengers aboard the
Maru was q Mr.. Mitsuhashi. who had
been the Japanese minister to the
Netherlands and was returning home
by way OF the United States. and, By
the way. since his arrival In Japan
he has been appointed mayor Of Yok-
ohama. or the governor general of that
province, We had a number Of con.
versations about the relations between
Japan and the United States and he
spoke In the most friendly manner Of

In all his utterances. however, he did

will to the United States, the convic-
ton is steadily growing that the next
Japanese war will be with this coun-
try.
For one thing the Japanese people
have never been reconciled to the Uni
ted States stepping In and taking Ha-
wall. There are three times as many
Japs on that island as Americans, and
they feel that In some way they have
been euchered out OF that important
possession. Furthermore they want
the Philippines. for they believe that
with the control OF the Philippines ana
Hawaii they will control the Pacific.
They do not hesitate to say that that
Is their ultimate object. Since the war
with Russia their bump OF sslf-esteem
has increased to prodigious size and
with England back of them they are
ready to undertake anything. The
army is being kept up to its efficiency
and the navy is being Increased as
rapidly as possible. They are building
