CALL ON BANKS
 FOR DEPOSITS

Washington, January 9.-The secretary of the treasury today announced call on the national bank Repositories for approximately $25000,O00 of government deposits, s150OO,OOO to be paid on or be- fore January 2S, 1909. and the remainder to be paid on or before February 10 1909
 This call on national banks for the re- turn to the treasury of s25, ,0OO000 Is not made necessary by any urgent need of cash, the balance on hand and available for all purposes being fully s2s,00O,ooO with the revenues showing slight increases over one year ago.
 The secretary's desire to provide ample funds for treasury needs at the begin ming of the new administration, about eight weeks hence, is believed to be the only purpose in making call at this time The banks are said to be in condi- ton to spare the cash without any em- barrassment, and it is believed that most of them are quite willing to surrender considerable share of the government holdings.
 The governments deposits today in na- tional banks were SIP. 394 255 exclusive of disbursing offices balances.

YUAN SHI KAI IS
 NOT A REFORMER

New York, January 9-The nephew of the great Chinese reformer, Rang Yu Wei, MT. Y. s. Wan, who is at present in this city, said in an interview with repre- sentative of the Associated Press today;
 "The American people have made mis- take in believing that Yuan Shi Kai, re- gently dismissed from his great office in Pekin, was a reformer. Not only was he not a reformer, but a destroyer of re- forms.
 Tt was Yuan Shi Kai who caused the failure of the progressive movement of 1898.
 'The empress dowager, who was an in- tense conservative, was the directing mind of the party opposed to reform. The em- peror, in order to strengthen his position to protect himself and to exercise the full powers of ruler to which he was en- titled, took Yuan Shi Kai into his con- fidence and commanded him to organize q modern army. Yuan Shi Kai organized the army, betrayed the emperors plans to principal instrument in the coup d etat of loo, which annihilated the influence of the reformers at court and reduced the emperor to mere ward of the dowager empress from his detrimental influence.
 Yuan Shi kai has lost esteem by hay ing pursued a personals selfish policy. The people of China since the Boxer dis orders have become more enlightened. They have reflected upon foreign ideas and customs. Such applications as have already been made in China in the way foreigners treat political, financial and social problems have produced good re- suits. Changes are still being introduced by officials connected with tho higher ad- ministration who have had opportunities to know the. civilized western world"
