BANKERS TO STOP
DRAIN OF CASH
ST. PAUL, MINNEAPOLIS AND DU-
sELF-DEFENsE.
FOLLOW LEAD OF BIG CITIES

st. Paul. Oct. 29.-The bankers OF
yesterday and adopted the measures
that the banks of all the large cities
In h country have taken to prevent
a drain of cash. The banks in the
large business centers decline to ship
money at present, and the Minnesota
banks, in ~self-defense. will adopt the
plan in force in other cities.
The following was adopted and
signed at the meeting held yesterday:
I'm view of the action of the banks
In the central reserve cities Of New
York, Chicago and st. Louis in refus,
ing to ship money against balances
due us, be 1t
Resolved. That for the protection
of our commercial interests and for
the purpose of preventing a drain of
money from the banks, the banks and
bankers of Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Duluth. do hereby agree to adopt sub
st%antially the plan recently adopted
in New York, Chicago, St. Louis,
Pittsburg, Milwaukee,, Indianapolis,
Des Moines and other cities. viz:
Require Notice.
That we will o pay ont money
on checks, certificates of deposit or
drafts, except for small sums, and
that for the present no money will be
furnished to bank correspondents;
but we will certify checks on balances
in our hands, payable through our
clearing houses only. The savings
banks and trust companies and the
savings department of banks having
such departments will require the SIX
ty and ninety day notice to which
they are entitled by law.
When it is realized that SO per cent
Of the business OF the country is trans
acted by means of checks and only I
per cent by means Of money, it will
be readily seen how little inconven-
fence will be caused TO the business
community by the plan adopted by the
associated banks.
Will Be Temporary.
The payment of checks and drafts
through the clearing house will pro-
coed in the usual way through the
regular channels. These checks and
drafts may be deposited in the banks
as heretofore, and their protection has
been fully provided for by this ac-
ton.
Outside of the above restrictions
business will be conducted as usual.
and 1t is believed that these condi-
lions will be temporary and of short
duration"

FINANCIAL STORM
IS SAFELY PASSED
UNITED ACTION AND WISE COUN-
SELLS HAVE SOLVED THE
PROBLEM.
STABILITY IS ESTABLISHED
THE SITUATION is ONE DEALING
SOLELY WITH SUPPLIES OF
CURRENCY.

New York, Oct. 20. = The feeling
among banking authorities is that
united action and wise counsels have
already accomplished much in proving
a solution for the financial problem
with which they have beer called on
to deal during the past week, and
that with remedial plans now further
perfected the promise is strong for
the uninterrupted maintenance of
financial stability. Yesterday was
marked by the usual Sunday calm.
which gave the financial leaders an
opportunity to ease the tension of
Ing the past week.
Presidents Support.
The departure of Secretary Cortel-
you for Washington removed a CON
spicuous figure from the field, but it
was felt that with President Roose-
velts strong support, as expressed in
his letter made public Saturday night,
Mr.. Cortelyou's presence in Wash
ington was favorable to such further
government assistance as might be
required.
At the clearing house there is much
evidence in preparation for the issu-
ance OF the loan certificates. Another
evidence Of activity was the small
knot Of people gathered at some of
the institutions where runs were in
progress last week, waiting for an ad-
v%antageous position on the opening Of
business to-day.
Will Hold Onto Cash.
The indications are that banking in
situations will not pay out large
amounts in currency to-day, except to
meet legitimate requirements of their
clients for current business. Curren-
cy will be paid on small checks as
desired and to provide funds for pay
rolls and other legitimate and ordi-
nary uses.
One prominent banker pointed out
that it could not be brought to the
attention of the country at large too
strongly that the present situation is
one dealing solely with the supplies
of currency, and that neither the bus
iress credit of the nation nor it's in
dustrial and agricultural prosperity is
affected.
Country Extremely Prosperous.
In this respect there is a sharp con
trast with the conditions prevalent in
1898. At that time many factories
were closed, railroad business was at
a low b and all parts of the country
were feeling the strain of acute bust
ness depression To-day. on the con-
trary, the country is extremely pros
porous: manufacturing plants are run
ming at full time to keep up with or
ders demanding output to their fullest
capacity. Railroad earnings are the
highest ever known. and the crop
prospects are excellent. The banks
themselves, especially those of New
York. have In their vaults interest
bearing securities OF the very best
character, on which in all ordinary
times they would be able to relize
large sums Of money. 1t is with these
securities and collateral that the
clearing house certificates will be is
sued to the extent of rs per cent of
their salable value. Thus it will be
seen that every SIS of loan certificates
issued is secured by $100 worth of
property,

Washington, Oct. 29.-Capt. Carter
at Fort Robinson, Neb., has started
for the Cheyenne river reservation in
South Dakota, to use his influence
with the troublesome Ute Indians with
a view to suppressing the outbreak.
A telegram from Agent Downs says
the Utes are quiet, but threaten to
fight if compelled to observe the gov
ernmental regulations. He says the
Indians must be disarmed at once
and urges that a squadron of troops
be promptly dispatched for that pur-
pose.
Capt. Johnson is the officer who ac-
companied the Utes when they set
more than a year ago After the van
dering Indians had refused to return
to their own reservation in Utah,
Capt. Johnson conducted the negotia-
tons resulting in their settling on

Pierre. S. D., Oct. 29.-From what
can be learned here the trouble with
the Ute Indians is the result of an
attempt on the part Of the agency au-
thorities to compel the attendance at
school of the children of that band
and a further attempt to put the adult
males at work with the Sioux, who of
late years practically have abandoned
the ration system and accepted work
at roadmaking from the government
in lieu of r%ations, being paid cash for
their labor and buying their own sup
