Finding Ones Way in China.

From the Manchester Guardian.
It is no easy matter to find ones way
about in China, even if one knows the
language. So. at least. says W. J. Gar
nett. the third secretary of the British
legation at Picking, who returned a little
while ago from a journey through the
provinces of Shantung and Kiangsu.
There are, he says, villages every few
miles. but the inhabitants seem very ig-
norant Of the places in their own neigh
borhood.
As a sample of the conversation that
took place when he asked the way from
one village to another he records the fol-
lowing: is this the way to Tsouhs Elm p
Are you going to Tsouhsein?' YES; is
this the way?'' ''Oh, you are going to
Tsouhsein. are you? Where do YOU come
from?" From Chiningchow. Please Is
this the way to Tsouhsein?' 'Oh, you
come from Ch'nlngchow, have you? Are
you going into the city walls Of Tsouh-
seinf Finally the native would admit
that he did not know the way to Tsouh-
sein. At the entrance to another village
an ancient villager was asked what the
name of the place was. After asking in
turn who Mr.. Garrett was. where he had
come from, where he was going and why
he wanted an inn. he considered the origi-
nal question. when repeated by the
patient inquirer, and finally closed the
by saying. How should
know? I am not a learned man."

BRIGHTER IN CHICAGO.
Clearing House Planning to Resum,
Business on Cash Basis.

CHICAGO. November pa step look
ing toward the resumption of business on
cash basis has been taken by the Chi
cago Clearing House Association. Letters
have been mailed to bankers of the mid
die and western sections Of the country
asking them to express their opinion on
the general situation. These statements
will be tabulated and used by the Chi
cago financiers as an index of the feeling
outside of New York
There was general expression favor
Ing this move in a meeting of the ASSOC
citation. James B. Forgan, president of
the First National Bank, presided. Some
Of the members said that it might be ad-
visable to hold a meeting when bankers
from the country as well as business
men both of Chicago and from states adj
jacent to Illinois would be invited to be
present to discuss the question. Others
expressed the opinion that the time was
not ripe for such meeting. and that at
present 1t would be impossible to UNDER
take to pay all checks in currency.
1t was agreed finally that the sentiment
of the country in the middle and far west
should be sounded. and q letter was pre-
pared. copies OF which were forwarded
yesterday. The letter was sent to every
banker west of Pittsburg to the Pacific
coast.
1t Is expected that replies will begin to
come in by tomorrow. Answers to letters
sent to the farthest points, however. can
not be received until the end OF next
week

From the Boston Transcript.
The increase in the number Ct pupils In
the riding academies Of New York this
fall ia thought to be repeated to some ex-
tent in all our large cities. It is not be
said that the horse is coming into his
own at last: the condition rather ex-
presses one more revival Of the undying
liking for the animal. Girls and young
women who have during the last ten
years taken to the road on bicycles or in
motors have fallen in love for the first
time in their lives with the horse and are
learning all the joys of the experience as
they ride and drive them. And women
one set older. who have let the automobile
fancy come between them and their early
love of the animal. are renewing their
affection for him with all the zest that
their first acquaintance. But
these tokens of new and renewed affec-
ton for the horse do not argue neces-
sarfly decline in favor of other methods
OF enjoying the outdoor life. 1t has been
found that there is no fun quite like that
to be had from riding and driving ones
own horse, and as there is always room
and place for one more enjoyment, it has
been easy to arrange the horses hour

week was $54. 1O3. 600 Computed upon
the basis Of deposits, less those Of S66. 49,
400 public funds-which, 1t may be OBJ
served. were reduced by $3.SO0.O00. com
pared with the previous week-the de-
fcfency Is $685. $50 $50, or about 100000
greater than in the week Of November 16
This was due to the reduction in such
deposits, as above shown.
The bank statement summary which
ives issued on July 8, 1893, the fourth
week of the crisis Of that year, showed q
decrease Of six and one-third millions in
reserve to five millions deficiency. the
latter condition being recorded for the
first time since the crisis developed. 1t
was observed, though, that, with sixty
four banks in the association. the aver
age of the deficit was only $4,000. The
cash loss was six and one eighth millions.
deposits were augmented 100000 and
loans increased 100000; this was, how
ever, due to the employment of clearing
house loan certificates. which in that
week were officially reported as outstand-
ing to the amount Of $22,5OO, 600. The IN
dications then seemed to point to q re-
tirement in the following week of at least
81, 100000 Of such certificates. and also
that 1t would not be necessary to make
any further emissions thereof. The state
ment Of bank averages showed 8068. 600

WESTINGHOUSE TO SETTLE.
Submits Plan for Liquidation Of OBJ
legations Of $4,000. 900.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. November o.
George Westinghouse, founder of the va
rfous WESTINGHOUSE enterprises of Pitts
burg. four OF which are now in the hands
OF receivers, has submitted q proposition
OF settlement Of his personal obligations,
amounting to about Sc. O0O. 600
Most OF these are in the form of notes.
and the greater part OF their proceeds
were used to foster the Westinghouse en-
terprises. OF these notes panks and
banking houses Of this city hold about
$1,000. 900, while the remainder are held
In New York, Pittsburg, Boston and Chi
cago.
All these outstanding obligations are Sc
cured by collateral consisting chiefly of
stocks Of his various companies. Accord
ing to the plan Of settlement Mr.. West
tnghouse proposes to divide each Of his
notes into three equal parts, to be secured
by the same collaterals now attached to
them.
The new notes are to run one, two and
three years. and are to bear 6 per cent
interest, payable at any time at his op-
ton. He Is also to deposit additional col
lateral with five trustees, the majority of
whom viii represent his creditors The
trustees are to hold the additional col
lateral to secure the new notes Of those
who accept the proposed extension. except
.those who hold Westinghouse air brake
stock as collateral.
This stock is known to be very valuable
and to be ample security for the notes to
which they are attached. It Is paying
dividends at the rate Of Y per cent per
annum.
The holders of the air brake collateral
will collect the dividends as they are de-
clared. and after paying interest on their
notes apply the balance to tie reduction
of the principal. The offer of Mr. West
inghouse is considered so fair that 1t is
expected to be accepted by the creditors.

Hence, Lusitania.

From the New York Globe:
While the Lusitania has been in her
berth at the foot of West 14th street she
has been visited by thousands of New
Workers.. It occurred to one to ask whence
the turbine wonders name. Here is the
answer:
The Emperor Augustus divided the
whole Iberian peninsula-which the SOL
diers Of Wellington simply knew as the
"Peninsula'-into three provinces, one of
them being Lusitania, corresponding al
most exactly with the present kingdom of
Portugal. Considering the connection of
Columbus with Portugal and the fact that
this kingdom produced SO many daring
sailors. including Henry the Navigator -
it Is happy circumstance that the great
est marvel OF ship construction should
have been called by that country's Roman
name.

hing NaiN of O1O rop,no rod
with the week Of November o. indicating
that the local banks are responding to
the requests Of the Secretary of the
Treasury to augment the volume of their
circulating notes. The changes in the
various items show a decrease last week.
instead of an increase Of $.667 900, as
was the case In the previous week, in
loans; the contraction in this item was
H.012. 900. The cash loss last week was
81. sO7 800: in the previous week 1t was
81, 1876. 900 The greater decrease last week
was. however. due to transfers and d.
rect shipments to the interior, o1setting
receipts of European gold: the large gain
in the volume OF imported gold last week
was not fully reflected in the statement
because OF the fact that the Mauretania
could not deliver its treasure, amounting
to SIS. 0O0. 600. until Saturday or after the
close Of the bank week. Therefore the
cash item was made up on distinctly ris-
ing averages. giving promise. of a much
better statement in the current week
Deposits decreased last week 50. ass, 600;
in the previous. week the decrease was
81. 100. 600. AS the result Of this greater
decrease the required reserve was re-
duced $2.3n.2 go whereas In the previous
week the reduction was little more than
half a million. The reserve on all de.
posits last week as shown by deducting
the required reserve. as above. from the
loss Of cash was t436. $50: In the previous
week such reserve decreased 1,75O,OOO.
