F., March 9.—In the mat- ter of the strike of the crews of the sealing fleet, numbering about 3,000, who yesterday demanded $4 per hundredweight for the cateh, instead of $3.20, the previous rate, the sealing merchants last night declined to accede to any of the terms submitted by the men. The merchants intimated that the price for seals would be at least $3.20 per hundredwelght, the same as lust yi but declined to indlcate whether any vance was likély. The authorities say that the condition of the foreign markets rem- ders an advance improbable. Regarding the other claims presented by the men for better accommodations and other minor comcessions, it is understood the merchants are willing to make reforms next year, but decline to alter existing conditions under threat of a strike. jThe matter is now at a deadlock and ~ Joth sides are working hard to score a vie- (From a Staft Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, March 9.—(Special.)— fThe republican members of the house com- mittee on' banking snd eurrency have been working for some weeks upon a general banking bill. It was finlshed yesterday end the chairman of the committee, Mr. Fowler of New Jersey, was Instructed to ntroduce 1t in the house as & committe Bill. It will be favorably reported to the Bouse tomorrow. The purpose of this bill is to reorganize the existing monetary system by national ®anks assuming to redeem ocurrently $130,- 000,000 of United States notes, by permit- ting pational banks to issue under proper sateguards and during a term of seven wears asset currency proportioned to their capital, by Mmiting issues of silver cer- tificates to $5 or less, by increasing the coinage of subsidiary coin, by providing for the exchange of gold for silver, by per- mitting national banke to have places of business in any part of the United States, wolontes and forelgn countries, by requir- ing national banks to pay interest at the yate of 1 per cent per annum on all de. posits of public money. Board of Control to Supervi The bill creates a board of control con- pisting of three members, who shall have supervision of all national banks and dis- eharge the duties now vested In the comp- troller of the currency. Any national bank that shall assume the current redemption in gold of an amount of United States notes equal to 20 per cent of its capital may, wwithout depositing United BStates bonds, Ammediately jssue an amount of bank notes ®qual to 10 per cent of its @apital. At the ®nd of one year it may i @mergency circulation of be taxed at the rate of annum may be permitted. Redemption of United States Note: Banks that agree currently to redeem United States notes egual to 20 per cent of thelr capital shall at the same time sur- yender to the United States treasurer an additional amount of United States notes equal to 10 per cent of their capital, which shall be at once redeemed from the gold !4n the general fund of the tressury and shall not be reissued, but shall be canceled and destroyed. The committee explains in this connection that 20 per cent of the pr it national bank capital is $130,000,000, the exact amount of United States notes for whose redemption the banks would be responsible if every national bank should mssume its share of such redemption. One- half of this amount, $65,000,000, would rep: sent the United States notos that the banks ‘would at the same time present to the 'Treasury department for redemption. This would relleve the treasury from the burden of redeeming $195,000,000 of United States motes. The remalning §151,000, of United States notes would be amply cov- ®ored by the $130,000,000 of gold in the re- serve fund of the treasury, inssmuch as veral million of United States notes have lost or destroyed. Guarantee of Cireulat! Any national bank that has not assumed current redemption of United Stal may, when $195,000,000 has been provided for, issue circulation as above described but, upon the first 20 per cent of its lssues 4t shall be taxed 1% per cent per annum inatead of the tax of one United States notes. The banknotes not to the guaranty fund and any fund above 10 per cent of all may be used to camcel and total shall be redeemed In gold over the counter of the lssuing bank and in order to insure thelr speedy redemption the country ie to be divided into clearing hou: districts. Nattonal banks recelving the notes of banks outside their own district shall not pay them out again unless the bank of lssue has an agency in such district for thé redemp- tion of its notes, but shall forward them for redemption to the district where they belong. ‘The provision directing the secretary of the treasury ‘e exchangs gold for is intended to streagthen existing !aw by limiting issues of silver certificates to $§ and less end of banknotes to $10 and up- ward, so that considerable number of certificates could at any time be collected and presented for redemption. The secretary of the treasury is author- to deposit all public money in excess $50,000,000 in national banks, the banks pay interest thereon at the rate of 1 tory. The owners and captalns claim that the strike has virtually collapsed and that all the men are ready to sall tomorrow, being satisfied that certaln modifications will follow. The leaders of the strike assert that the men will not sall tomorrow and that the ships will be powerleas. In the meanwhile the owners are arranging to secure other supplies, men and crews for the ships should this be necessary. The sealers held a big meeting last night to discuse the matter, but no dectsion was reached. The men suffer from lack of or- ganization. SENDS SECOND NOTE TO PORTE CONSTANTI ican legation here today presented to the porte the second note referring to the cap- ture of Miss Ellen M. Stone. In this note it 1s pointed out that as Miss Stone was captured, the ransom paid and the prison- ers delivered in Turkey, the brigands must be within the Turkish frontier and should therefore be captured.
