lREDDGE SIZE
OF BANK NOTES
DECISION PRACTICALLY REACH,
Eo BY SECRETARY OF TREAS.
uRY.

Secretary of the Treasury Mac
veagh has practically reached di.
cision TO reduce the size of the United
States currency and national bank
notes by one-third and to revolution,
lie the design SO as to make counter.
feiting more difficult task. 3
1t is proposed to make the notes q
by az inches. The paper money now
iE circulation is 7.2s by s.o4 inches.
The designs OF all paper money would
be systematized and made uniform
for every denomination.
This move is expected to save the
government about 100000 annually
and the national banks. which pay for
the plates for their notes and part Of
the cost of redemption, about 100000:
The economies would be effected In
steel for the plates, in paper and in
labor.
Eighteen months would be required
10 effect the change by the prepare.
ton of the designs, engraving OF the
plates and printing OF the notes. To
meet the objection that for a time at
least there would be two sizes OF cur.
rency in circulation 1t has been sug.
.gested, that the government print in
advance a sufficient quantity OF the
notes Of the new size to be, exchang.
ed atrtheI sub.treasuries and national
banks on fixed date. The change
could be substantially accomplished
within few days, treasury officials
believe.
There are now Is different designs
Of currency. The change would re.
duce these to nine. Each denomina.
ton would be characterized by dis.
.inctively American historical por.
trait engraved in the center OF the
note. In time the portrait would be
a distinguishing feature OF each de,
nomination and would be safeguard
against raising of note to higher
denomination.
The department is considering u.s.
ing portraits as follows: 81 note,
Washington; So. Jefferson; IS, Lin,
coin; $40. Cleveland; $40, Jackson.
$50, Grant; $500, franklin; $500.

PUBLIC OPINION IN
WARNING TO All NATIONS.

NMuSHiuBlOH fOSt.l a-'Hf n z.
1t is well that the Senate should
adopt the resolution reported from
the Committee on Foreign Relations,
practically warning foreign nations
TO refrain from acquiring coaling sta.
tons or naval bases in harbors or 9th.
er places on the American continent.
Whetheri It was the Intention OF the
Japanese government TO acquire a
base at Magdalena Bay or not, 1t is
a proper and suitable time for the
United States, through the Senate, to
state once for all that such q. pro.
ceeding would not be regarded as {
friendly act. Such a declaration
ought to be sufficient. If 1t is not.
the United States will know, whai
to do to project itself and It's inter
ests.
The Monroe Doctrine is part of the
unwritten Constitution of the United
States. 1t is as vital and evergreen
as any part of the written constitf
ton. Whatever may be the complex
ion of the party in power, whether
regular or progressive. Democratic or
Republican, the spirit OF American,
ism remains. Americans are one III
their resistance to any aggression ~
foreign powers. There is no division
then.

BANANA CROP REPORTED SHORT
SEVERE DROUGHT IN HONDURAS
HAS KILLED MOST OF THE
cR0p ~

SEVERE DROUGHT IN HONDURAS
HAS KILLED MOST OF THE
CROP.
Indications are there will be sharp
advance in the price of bananas with.
In a short time, according TO the re-
ports received from those southern
countries, which produce this luscious
and appetizing fruit. Within the
past week local dealers in bananas
have ben notified OF the possible
shortage OF the crop this year, not.
only in one OF the producing coun-
tries. but in several OF them. and that
the price would probably be advanc-
Ing as result within a very short
time.
Most of the bananas received here
come from Cuba. Honduras. and the
South American countries. During
the present summer there has been
experienced most unusual drought
down in that section OF the continent
and as result the bananas have been
a very small crop. Il was expected
therein light be late rain that would
do some good, but II did not come and
how the season is TOO far advanced for
rain TO do any good II It should come,
for the bananas are drying up on the
trees n ndwlll not be OF any account
no matter what, the weather may be.
Up to the present time the supply
of bananas here has been exceptional.
ly good and the price has been very
fair. The wholesaler has not been
getting much out OF them because he
Is compelled TO sell them very close,
but the retailer who has been selling
them at the same old price OF from 10
cents to 20 cents per dozen has been
some money out OF them
From about the first Of September.
and, maybe before that time the price |
will advance so hat retailers will
Lave to get better figure for their
goods, and, as is usually the case the
consumer will pay the freight.
In speaking OF the conditions that
now exist well known dealer in
bananas said yesterday; speaking
principally OF the crop In Honduras:
The banana crop In Honduras, as we'll
as In some OF the other countries
which make business OF raising this
fruit, Is almost a total loss because OF ,
the excessive dry weather these coun.
tries have had this summer. The
crop Will not be overone-third what It
Mould have been had the weather con.
d'tions been right. 1t is reported
The trust has ONE good crops further
south In what is known as the Blue.
fields country, but even their crop Is
not what was expected and they W
not be able to furnish the trade with
the necessary supply at the prices
which they can retail the fruit and
rake anything on 1t at the present
retail figures.
