--------------= ~ T---------------- --------- TAFT LEAVES RUSSIA.
Secretary of War Will Proceed to Der. lin, But Formal Entertainment
 Will be Omitted.

St. Petersburg, Dec. Civilian H. Taft, the American secretary of War. and the members of his party, left here at noon Thursday for Berlin. A party of Russian officers and func- -ionaries and the staff of the Amer can embassy saw the visitors off at the railroad station.
 The secretary will spend few hours in Berlin Friday evening. He las asked Charlemagne Tower, the American ambassador at Berlin to unit any formal entertainment on ac- count of the serious illness of his mother at Millbury, Mass.
 The Russian authorities are relieved that the secretary's visit has passed off without any untoward incident. The request of a group of students of the university to be permitted to send l deputation to welcome Secretary Taft upon his arrival was denied by the authorities as 1t was feared that this deputation was merely cover for ! revolutionary demonstration. The police constantly guarded the corri- iors of the hotel where the Taft party stopped in order to prevent their be- ing molested by anarchists or cranks.

Miners onoIaIs Reslnn.

Des Moines, la, Dec. 5.--John P. White, president, and other members of the executive board of the United Mine Workers of America, district No. 13, embracing all of Iowa and part of Missouri, rendered their resignations at a meeting of the delegates of all locals here Wednesday. Several To- calls demanded the resignations be- cause White and other officers had recommended that the miners accept half cash and half checks for pay during the financial stringency. The resignations will probably not be ac- cepted, but resolutions demanding cash payments will be passed.

AOK| NIL NOI RETURN
Recall of Japanese Ambassador to Washington Regarded as Per-
 manent in Tokio.
HAD EXPRESSED 4 DESIRE TO RESIGN
High Official In Japanese Foreign or flee Declares That No Reflection on Ambassadors Course In Washington Is Intended--No Change in Present Friendly Relations Contemplated.


 Tokio, Dec. 5.-The recall of Wis count Aod, Japanese ambassador al Washington, is the result of his owr expression of desire to resign, and no official announcement is expected until after his arrival in Tokio. It Is now regarded as a foregone conclu sion that Ambassador Aoh will not return to Washington. The question of his probable successor in the event his resignation is accepted, has been long under discussion. The names mentioned in this connection include Baron Kaneko, formerly special en voy to the United States; Baron Chin da, vice minister of the foreign office and M. Takahira. at present Japanese ambassador to Italy, and formerly minister of Japan at Washington. Il is now understood that M. Takahira is first choice. Neither Baron Chinda nor Baron Kaneko can be spared. sc Takahira will undoubtedly be appoint ed If he Is acceptable at Washington The Associated press is assured by the highest authority in the foreign office that the recall of Viscount Aoki is not intended as a reflection upon his course. but a possible change at Washington has long been imminent Neither should the present action be construed to denote the slightest change in the friendly attitude of the Japanese government towards Amer ica on the immigration question.
 In the course of an interview Wednesday this official said:
 Tt is quite possible that Viscount Aoki may not return to Washington. In the event of his resignation the government of Japan will only ap- point to the position a person well known in America, whom the presi- dent knows and likes, and who has the confidence of the American peo- pie. The Japanese government is making every effort to meet the wishes of the president and the peo- pie of America on the immigration question, and in appointing a foreign minister realizes the importance of having representative in Washing ton who Is not only acceptable and friendly to the people. but is acquaint- ed with the prevailing conditions in America'
 special dispatch from Washington to the Mainichidempo says that the American public is inclined to think that the recall of Aoki Is due to the determination on the part of Foreign Minister Hayashi to pursue a differ ent policy which will be antagonistic to America. The official above quoted assured the Associated press repre- sentative that such construction was entirely erroneous. On the con trary, the immigration question. he said, is now nearer a friendly solu- tion than ever before.
 Minister Hayashi is determined to exercise all the authority vested in the foreign minister to control the emigration of laborers.
 We are anxious" said this official. Ito avoid any sacrifice of our treaty rights with America and Canada. but we can and will control the immigra. ton to either country"

BANK STATEMENT CALLED
Comptroller of Currency Wants Conditions at Close of Busi-
 ness December }.
COMMENT OF FlNAAcIEHs ON THE CALL

The Prevailing Opinion Seems to Be That the Banks Will Be Able 10 Show Cash Reserves Much Beyond the Legal Requirements-chicaso's Great Showing.
The Mena weekly star., 1907-12-12

New York, Dec 5.-The call for statement of the condition of national banks was not unexpected in financial circles here Only four of the hve calls required by law each year had been made, and in the natural course of events it was anticipated that the fifth and last call could not be much longer delayed. It is felt here that 1t will exercise beneficial effect on the situation, inasmuch as the banks GUS tomarily try to prepare for call by increasing their cash and when the call has been made this cash is auto matically released The belief also prevails that the statement resulting from this call will show that the cash reserves of the country banks are very large, and that when this fact be- comes public it will tend to rapidly restore confidence among depositors and thus hasten the resumption of currency payments.
The Mena weekly star., 1907-12-12

St. Louis, Dec. 5.-The call of the comptroller of the currency for na- tional bank statements will, local bankers say, result in a general i'm provement of conditions, for it is ex- pected to show that most of the banks are carrying large cash reserves. Af- ter the statements are made 1t is ex- pected that the excess reserve will be released for circulation, making money more plentiful.
 St. Louis bankers, however, will make no announcement as to when cash payments will be generally re- sumed, although cash is largely be- ing paid at the present time and clear Ing house certificates are rapidly be- ing withdrawn. Fearing a sudden rush in the withdrawal of deposits and a financial reaction might be precipi- tated by such announcement, it has been deemed best to gradually and quietly resume payment of cash.

Chicago, Dec 5.-Cash in vaults of Chicago banks Wednesday approxi' mate s300,000000, 100,000,0e0 of which is in the savings banks and the remainder in the national institutions. Never in the history of Chicago banks has the actual money in hand been so large as it is at present. Reserves are well above the 25 per cent of deposits required by the national banking law.
 These facts were brought out Wednesday when Comptroller of the Currency Ridgeley at Washington re- quested a statement from national bankers throughout the country.
 Virtually every national bank showed Wednesday heavy increase in the amount of money ready at the call of depositors, the gains ranging from s1,O00,000 for the smallest, to s15,000.000. The total amount which these banks held on August 2S, when the last call was made by the comp troller, was SIPS, S,452,0G3. Wednesday the sum is not far from 100000, ,000, which, with that held by the savings banks and trust companies, makes total of s300.0o0,O0

HERE'S OPTIMISM.

"All the eleemosynary institutions
show the effects of honest, intelligent
and humane management" says the
News-Democrat, referring to the
state administration, but overlooking
the indictments for murder brought
against political appointees in the
Lexington asylum, who are accused
of beating helpless inmates to death.
"The state is out of debit" It con-
tinues, which is not true by hun
dreds Of thousands OF dollars.
"The treasury is full Of money" is
another bit of optimism, calling up
a picture of bursting corn cribs after
a full harvest, but the outstanding
Indebtedness far exceeds the funds
In hand.
1.-THE tax rate will be reduced ten
cents on the hundred dollars, il the
Democratic ticket wins" II says.
That is a guess, and will hardly be
considered seriously even by those
trees and marble tombstones that
voted In Franklin county to rein
state the administration, of which
the proud party organ boasts.
