THE rec nt financial furry, in

by the Standard Oil crowd and
stock gamblers in an attempt to
down competition tothe detriment
of the whole country, brings the
thought home to the thinking

bank reserve SYSTEM; Under
the law, certain banks in the
). larger cities are designated by
! the comptroller of the currency
as reserve banks in which the
banks to the west are compelled
to deposit a certain percentage
of their deposits. Now let us
see how this works. The banks
in the west send their reserve tt
Minneapolis, St. Paul, Sioux
City, Sioux Falls and probably
keep small balances in New
York. The reserve banks KEEP
their reserve still farther east

New York, so that just as sure

money is thus piled up in New

being drawn into the whirlpool

financial matters in the east to
such an extent that railroad

preciated in value, grain market
was badly affected and it re-
quired the united efforts of the
great New York bankers to pre-
vent a possible panic. The New
York banks adopted the clearing
house system and refused to ship
currency west or to the country.
This action of the New York
banks rendered it necessary that
the banks of the central reserve
cities adopt the same course,
and even made it seem wise for
the banks in such western towns
as st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth, Sioux Falls and Sioux
City to adopt the same course.

lions laid down by the United States,
all negotiations for new treaty look
ing to the exclusion of japanese la
ho:ers are said, on good authority, to

it is said. greatly exasperates the

Welded to him by admitting japanese

The Californians yielded because the
President promised not only to stop

secure a mobilization Of our treaty

Government - pass law forbidding

OVERTURES REFUSED.
There is good reason to believe that
at the time of the excitement of the
California school question, the Japa-
nese government indicated a willing
ness to allow modification of our
treaty with 1t which would permit the
exclusion of japanese laborers, as is
now done in the case Of the Chinese.
At that time the suggestion was made

JAPANESE TREATY MATTERS DROPPED

jected all the overtures Of this Gov
eminent locking to the negotiation OF
4 treaty provision that would permit
exclusion, although the United States
has offered inducements far more sub
stantial than the one named above.
1t is said the United States offered in
he first place to secure legislation
from Congress permitting the naturali-
cation of the Japanese now in this
country In consideration of an exclu-
sion treaty. This offer was rejected by
Japan.
NEGOTIATIONS DROPPED.
Then the United States went further
and agreed to give its consent to
under which the products be admitted
free of duty to Korea.
But this offer was also rejected by
the Mikado's government, which init
mated very strongly that owing to
The state of popular feeling in the
island empire, 1t did not feel 1t could
take any steps toward modification
of its treaty with us that would sane
ton the passage of an exclusion law by
the United States. This declaration by
the Japanese government made 1t APP
parent to the President that further
negotiations were useless, and so mat
| :ers had come to q standstill
! II is said the President Is inclined
, to feel that the Japanese government
has acted in bad faith. This feeling
, has been increased by the fact that
Japanese immigration to the United
, States has actually increased since he
issued his proclamation forbidding the
coming of Japanese laborers from our
insular possessions to the mainland.
