TREASURY AND WALL STREET.

How tke Bankers of New York Put
 Pressure Upon Secretary COrteIyOu.
 Hollands New York Correspondence in
 The Philadelphia Press.
 When the members of the Union League Club were, in cordial rroces- sion, passing in front of the Ambas- sador from Great Britain, MT. Bryce, on Monday evening, paying him sin cere tributes of regard, which his dip- lomatic honors and his literary career justify, he could not have known that a score or more of those who thr9 greeted him had in mind a most earn" est conference, informal but yet sig nifcant. which was to be held after the ceremonial reception and supper were ended. For 1t occurred to those members of this club who are of the banking world, and some of them gre of high authority in that world, that the occasion of that meeting gave good opportunity for comparison of views with respect to the financial situation.
 Some of them recalled earlier Con- ferences held in that place. Some were also to speak from memory of the momentous meeting of General Grant when he was President with the hank CTS of New York and with others of high authority in that place, so that he might get from them a good under standing of their views as to the txpe- diency of reissuing the greenoacks which had been withheld in the Treas ury for some years, and also as 70 the eXpediency of proposed legislation whereby an irredeemable paper cur rency would be issued~by the Govern ment.
 Perhaps no other gathering within this club home which had for it's pur- rose a comparison of views with re- spect to the financial situation has ever been held since that one with General Grant that was of such consequence and occasioned by such real concern as was the almost midnight hour con- sultation of Monday at this club. Of course there can be no detailed report of what was said or any identification of those who took part in that confer ence. Conferences of that kind are protected by club ethics which impose condolences. But it can be reported that no important disagreement of jew as to the situation and as to the |, operative necessity that something be do, re which might aid in restoring con- 6So, nee was disclosed. All spoke of the situe, ion as somewhat critical, but all tnJta,,a that with tactfulness, with ,;so a. erection on the part of those n,bo aor trol the great banking instl- tr+tons n, i'd with some cessation from ooo,,snt,o. criticism, and reproach, and some postponement of any stiYI1, .i causes which have pro- dwnaS tt conditions then it is reas- onohIa ~ bu pc that there would come a rostoro.in O Io l of confidence.

HOW THE JAPANESE WORK.
Have Sort of Perpetual Motion With
 no Sunday Rest.

haVt SOft OI EcEpCtudt "ttn
 no Sunday Rest.
 In Japan Sunday is not regarded and the mills do not stop for the day. The majority of the mills have two holi- days-the 1st and the 18th. In many mills the engine starts at o'clock in the morning of the 16th and runs con- continuously until o'clock the morn- ing of the 18th. then starts at o'clock the morning of the 18th and runs con- tinuously until 6 o'clock the morning of the 1st.
 This is as near perpetual motion as men and machines can stand. No stop Is made for dinner, the hands taking thirty minutes for dinner in rotation and spare hands taking the place of each batch. Each operative works from o'clock to o'clock, with thirty minutes for dinner, and the night shift comes on at o'clock. Thirteen to sixteen twelve-hour days on a stretch necessarily make the hands slower and less efficient.
 Though they do not observe the Lords rest day. a good number of the mills have by experience come to see the material good that comes from having one day in seven for rest and one of the largest groups of mills observes the 4th 11th, 18th and 25th of each month, but do not, as customary with us, allow a third or half of the previous day for rest also.
 These four rest days are utilized by the management to overhaul and clean machinery, check up results, instruct green hands in regard to their duties. etc. The national holidays. of which there are about ten, are observed by the mills, so that even in the mills making a practice of stopping only two days for rest the holidays effect a stop of one or two more days per month.
 The hours of work and the number of rest days vary with the locality of the mill Each mill has its own sys- tenn, and though they work together in some respects through the Japan sse Cotton Spinners' Association in pub fishing reports, etc., they are very Jealous of each other and keep the de- tails of their business methods of op- eration, etc, secret from other mills. This instinctive secrecy as shown in other industrial lines, such as machine shops. shipbuilding, etc. has made the office of consulting engineer in Japan a very lucrative one. as new projects can not copy from old but ha we to call in expert advice to select the ma- chinery.

A Live Texan on Broadway.

 Aided and abetted by a bowie knife that weighed two pounds, and had a blade nearly foot long, Daniel Young, who was born in Limerick, and gravi- tated to Texas, yesterday obtained pos Twenty-fifth street.
 Young is or was, stopping at the Ho- tel Victoria, He proceeded to diminish the visible supply of liquor. and finally pranced petulantly to Broadway, hack ing large holes in the atmosphere with his knife and yelling thusly

MT. ROoseveIt's Alleged Policy as Giv-
 en by American.
 A special to The New York American from Washington says:
 The legislative program of the ad- ministration for Federal control of the railroads has, in the main, been com pleted It provides:
 First-A declaration that outstand- ing securities must be accepted as valid and their integrity not ques- tioned.
 second-Railroads will be allowed to make agreements between themselves, but under rigid Federal scrutiny, to see that the public interest is not menaced by such arrangements.
 Third-Equitable and long term tar shipper may know for stated pe- riod ahead what his contracts call for.
 Fourth-Centralizatio of control, un- der Federal supervision, to prevent widely divergent State exactions.
 These are the main features. Many basic provisions will be contended for. When the bill, or bills, embodying these features is sent to Congress, the whole power of the administration will be exerted to secure favorable action.
 The features outlined have the sup port of the President, his closest Cab met advisers, the members of the In Kellogg and w. E. Severance, the Commissions attorney. many railroad presidents, bankers and others;
 It Is now thought that tc senator Deliver of Iowa will be delegated the task of drafting these ideas into bills been much with the President of late. and recently went to Massachusetts and made an exhaustive study of the new corporation laws there.

community, industrial, agricultural and banking. must be established
 A conference of that kind could be of no avail unless some agreement with respect to action was reacnea, anu there was unanimous decision that the bankers of New York, National, State and those of trust institutions. should unite not in the preparation Of a round robin petition, but nevertheless Tn m dividual and coincident action so that the Secretary of the Treasury might be authoritatively informed of what prevailing opinion here in this city Is.
 There was an agreement that upon Tuesday every banker who found him. self in sympathy-and nearly all were with this proposed action should communicate with the Secretary of the Treasury, so as to persuade him to take immediately certain steps which in any event he would take some time in the spring.
 e Therefore, upon Tuesday morning communications were sent by wire to the Secretary of the Treasury, each worded according to the ability for terse expression or emphatic utter ance of opinion of every writer or the dispatches. But the substance or these communications was as follows; Il am firmly convinced that the situation now prevailing in New York and else- where Is such as to justify apprehen- sion that mercantile and manufactur- ing business may be somewhat affected by, it and possibly seriously. There- fore I urge that if the Secretary of the Treasury has in mind certain ac- tion which might tend to restore com fidence. this action be taken immedi- ately, for there is every need that con- fidence be at once restored" There must have been as many communica- tions of that kind sent by wire to the Secretary of the Treasury as there are members of the Clearing House Asso- citation.
 These communications must have reached Secretary Cortelyou before 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning. All of them contained either outspoken or clearly intimated expressions of entire confidence in the discretion and abil- ity of the Secretary of the Treasury, who came into authority at a. time of some financial peril. Of course. it was inevitable that the announcement that came from Washington just before noon, which was in many respects in perfect accord with the appeal made to the Secretary, was believed to be the answer of Secretary Cortelyou to those who had spoken for the mercantile and manufacturing community.

WILL NOT LEAnN.


 Much is said and written ySon the subject of educating the negroes, and much has been done along fhis line, but there Is one educational need that they seem very slow about ac- auiring. Tn, fact, they appear to be ly in the South but in the North as we'll. We refer to their inability or indisposition to learn that an attack on a white woman means death, cer- tain and often horrible. It matters not whether 1t comes through and by lnfuriated citizens. 1t comes to the brute just the same.
 It apparently matters not how strongly and earnestly the newspapers and the law-loving citizen may plead that the law be allowed to take it's course In all such cases, as it should in all other crimes, for such pleas appear to be unheeded and unavail- ing Ours is a country of law and order. or Is intended to be, and tho good citizen should realize that if the law Is rot observed and respected In one instance, it will not be in others. perhaps. In other words. If the citi- zens may take the law into their own hands to punish one crime 1t must lead to like results in case of other crimes.
 But, however constantly and earn estly we may lecture and advise in this direction 1t seems to have no effect on a certain class of negroes. The white people of the country are continually trying to teach the negroes through horrible examples that white women must be safe from their at- tacks or swift death must follow. It is not a lesson from books or from school teachers that is held before them, but the lesson of practical en- forcement of what might be put into one sentence: If you attack or harm a white woman you shall die. If this lesson was confined only to words, written, printed or spoken, 1t might be said that the ignorant negroes would have no opportunity to acquire it, but 1t Is kept before their eyes and ears in a manner to make it inn possible that they should fall to see 1t. It comes to their eyes and other sensesin the form of a fellow negro be- ing put to death with horrible tor lures by the friends of his victim.
 And yet strange to say, these aw- full object lessons fail to teach the negro. He either cannot or will not be warned and repressed. He seems unable to learn that death follows outrage as surely as the thunder fol- lows the lightning's flash. Why is this? Is it because of brutal inability to control his passions or because of a dogged racial hatred and prejudice against the whites? Perhaps there may be a little of both--a little Of the ungovernable brute and little of the implacable savage. Whatever It may be it exists and is constantly cropping out in various sections Of the country. But they must learn the lesson or worse will follow than has yet come. fN~ 9-+ 5 t-

No test was made at the furnaces of Jones & Laughlin, on account of a mIsunder- standing. and none will likely be made at present.
 Fillmore and Dr. H. K. Hoy figured to-day that the actual cost of sufficient of the compound to treat ton of coal will be about 12 cents.
 The test this afternoon was success fu1 in every way. Two tons of coal were consumed in one furnace, and the ashes afterward burned While this coal and ashes were being burned, the furnace alongside consumed three and one-half tons of coal, while the amount of heat generated in the furnace burn ing the ashes was fully one-third greater than that generated in the other furnaces
