MORE BONDS.

Secretary Cortelgou last night made
the important announcement that as q
means of affJrding relief to the financial
situation, the Treasury would issue $50, :
900, 900 of Panama bonds and $500, 600, =
900 certificates of Indebtedness, or 60
much thereof as may be necessary. The
certificates will run for one year and will
bear 8 per cent. interest. The secre-
tsry's action in coming to the relief OF
the financial situation meets with Pfesi-
dent Roosevelfs hearty approval, and
the plan Is the outcome OF the several
White House conferences which have
been held within the past few dsys, when
he financial situation was under con-
sideration.
In his letter authorizing the issue Of
Panama bonds and "debt certificates"
the President said: 'sWhat is most need
ed is that our citizsus should realize how
fundamentally sound conditions are and
how absurd to getintos panic and create
stringency BY boarding their savings.
"The people can help themselves aud
the country most by putting back into
active circulation the money they are
boarding.

thoriiies lken the situation to the one
which caused the recent furry in the
United States. They fear the storm will be
more serious 10 Germany than in Amer
ice, however. 1t is pointed out that
several German banks have recently
failed, that financial houses are trying
hard to conceal the existing stringeDcy
and that greater difficulty is constantly
being experienced finding out lis capital.
Investors have been unloading German
securities quietly for some time, aud the
recent shaking up in the Urited States
has reduced everything to the point Of
actual values, although neither of these
countries is likely to suffer. Austria,
Italy and Russia would probably feel a
German crisis severely, however, and its
iaadence would probably be felt in
France,

Fascination with an anti-suicide device
Is what led Nora May French, the poet,
TO destroy herself at Csrmel-bY-the Sea,
Cal. investigation has developed that
her uncle, Presbyterian minister, had
often spoke OF bis adherence Of suicide.
He told her if the thought of self-des-
truclion even entered her mind TO cit
pistol in band, in a shadows path, and
to shoot when the edge of the shadow
reached her.
"By that time you will have repent
ed" said her uncle, land you will
not shoot"
This idea fascinated the girl. With a
revolver hidden 10 her dress, see hurried
out to qHite spot on the edge of the
pines, There sse reached a shadow cast
by lofty tres, pointed the pistol at her
head and pulled the trigger. Her hand
was not steady, and tho bullet fped by

volver FROM his pocket and fred four
shots at the girl. She fell to the ground
unconscious with two bullets 10 her head
and one in her body. Wnek, half crszed
by what he had done, discharged the
remaining cartridge in the air, and then
brandished the revolver above his head.
As soon as the crowd of men and women
on the street realized what WDek had
done, they ran toward him. He was

From Washington.

TCOues Poudenoe Of the Alexandria Gazette. ]
Washington, Nov. IS.
To Secretary Cortelyou alone is attri-
buted the discovery of the hitherto I'M
used provision OF the revenue law of
June g, 1898, whereby the government
is enable to float maximum of $780,
600, 600 three per cent. certificates of iu-
debness, the proceeds of which will be
deposited in the various National Banks
Of the south and west, to relieve the
present money slringeucy, and facilitate
the movement Of the crops. Most Of
that law has been repealed, but, strange
TO say, section 50, the only one not
repealed, and the Only one of which the
government had never avsiled ITSELF
still remains On the statute books. After
his discovery, the Secretary went to New
York lsst week, and conferred with sew
eral Of the financial msgnates. They
gave their unqualified endorsement Of the
plan, and expressed confidence that it
would accomplish the results desired.
Following this, there we're daily con-
ferences at the White House between
the President and various members of
the cabinet. The COrtelyou plan was
speedily approved, The only question
wss whether or not the President should
make public a personal statement
in connection with its PRONUNCIATION.
Secretary Root, upon whose advice the
President has been relying to great
extent 10 the recent crisis, advocated a
statement from the President that would
tend TO reassure the public and release
from safe deposit boxes the large spOpnls
