CERTIFICATES TO BE ISSUED TO-DAY Large Force of New York Clearing House Clerks Busy All Day Yes
 terday. CLERGY COUNSEL
 PUBLIC TO BE CALM Financial Men Confident of Uninterrupted Mainten- ance of Financial
 Stability.

New York. Oct. 27-The feeling among banking authorities tonight is that united action and wise counsels have already accomplished much In providing solution for the fiancial pro- blem with which they have been called on to deal during the past week, and that with remedial plans now further perfected the promise is strong for the uninterrupted maintenance of financial stability. To-day was marked by the usual Sunday calm, which gave the ti- nancial leaders an opportunity to ease the tension of overwrought nerves ex- perienced during the past week. Most of them remained at home throughout the day and there was a noticeable ab- sence of those hurried conferences of recent days.
 The departure of Secretary Cortelyou for Washington removed a conspicuous figure from the field, but it was felt that with President Roosevelt's strong support, as expressed in his letter made public last night, MT. Cortelyou's presence in Washington was favorable to such further governmental assist ance as might be required
 In the churches many of the sermons were marked by references to the fin ancial situation. Rev. Donald MackaS at the Church of St. Nicholas, dealing at length with the subject, and Mgr Iavelle also taking a similar text al St. Patriclx's Cathedral These ser. mons were notable for their strong counsel toward public calm.
 A large force of clerks were at tht clearing house all day to-day preparing for the issuance of loan certificates to- morrow. These are in 5000, s1O0o0 and s2O,o0O denominations, and in the fol lowing form:
 "This certifies that the (name O bank) has deposited with this commit tee securities in accordance with thu proceedings of meeting of the asso citation, upon which this certificate | issued. This certificate will be received in payment of balances for the sun of $5,OO0 from any member of the clear ing house association.
 +. H5t iOn LuG SuTT6uueI OL lulS CCl ltilS1l lS \ by depositing bank above named tho \ committee will endorse the amount as { payment on the obligations of sait bank held by them and surrender proportionate share of the collateral se curities held there under"
 This is the form as used in 1893, wher these certificates were last availed of At that time the certificates were oi great benefit and aided materially in clearing the very serious situation then existing. Tn. this connection New York bankers commended the action of out side cities in adopting the same plan for the protection of their supplies of cash. They foresee that this will great /ly relieve the strain at outside points permitting them to use the certificates in place of cash, and also having the salutary effect of keeping down the drain of outside centers upon New York
 That the clearing house certificates will prove entirely eff1cacious was con f1dently declared to-day by J. Edward Simmons, president of the Fourth Ma tional bank, one of New York's larges institutions.

Crowds Viewed Body.

Long before the hour for the fun eral people began to arrive at the city hall. From 2:30 o'clock yester- day afternoon, when the body was taken there to lie in state, people con- tinually visited the council chamber to take a last look at the form of the once mighty man.
 When the services began the city hall was uncomfortably crowded. Ia the streets around the building were hundreds of persons who were unable to get up to the stairway leading to the council chamber. Carriages and buggies filled the streets and in all of the confusion that naturally resulted nothing occurred to interrupt the fun eral arrangements. Some difficulty was experienced in forming the funer- al procession, but the interruption was of a brief nature and was hard ly noticeable.

 D. C. Bell--I-- regarded King White as a very remarkable charac ter, a man who could be as good a friend as he was an enemy and when King White disliked anyone he usually made no secret of it. The most remarkable thing about King was the fact that he could take up animosity against a friend or lay down animosity to an enemy. Your enemy today, your friend to- morrow He was kind hearted and his wonderful accomplishments in life are testimonials of his great ability.
