looking into the financial standing
of the fraternal Mystic Circle, the
order which recently absorbed the
American Guild. The guild had pre-
viously absorbed the Modern Puri-
tans.
The visit of the commissioner to
the Quaker City does not mean that
he has learned anything detrimental
to the Mystic Circle. On the con-
trary, it is believed that that institu-
tuition is standing on a firm finan-
cial foundation and the Mystic Circle
is licensed to do business in this
State, and it is incumbent upon him
to look carefully into the financial
standing of the concern.

VIII Deposit Government Money to
-:~ Relieve strlngency.
New York, Aug. 2e.-Secretary Of
the Treasury Cortelyou has announced
new plan of depositing government
funds in New York, Boston and other
cities to afford relief to the money
market in the approaching crop NOV
ing period.
Beginning Immediately the secretary
will place each week, at such points in
the country as he shall designate, gov
eminent funds to such an amount as
he deems sufficient to prevent an
acute monetary stringency and posi-
bic panic.
The plan of the secretary is new to
the financial world, and one which he
believes will prove more efflcacious
than the. old method of waiting until
cially and then coming to the rescue
at the last moment by placing q large
deposit of government funds in New
York banks. . -..-,..a ..
The present financial situation has
occupied Secretary Cortelyous atten-
ton for some time, and he Is doing
what he can under the law to bring
monetary relief. Notwithstanding a
heavy demand for the $30,000,000 Pan
ANA bonds which are still unissued,
the secretary declines to place them
o nsale at this time, as the govern
mont does not need the money, and
their purchase by the banks and pub
lie would tie up additional millions at
q time when the money is most needed
elsewhere. ...

moreover is a blunder. He expressed
the hope that the other powers would
insist on France keeping within the
terms Of the Algeciras convention and
stated that the events at Casa Blanca
had endangered peace in Morocco,
whereas that country expected peace
