WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—In his an- to Congress, William B. Ridgeley, | Comptroller of the Currency, again renews the recommendations con- tained in his report for 1902 for legis- lation in regard to liquidation and con- solidation of national banks and exten- sion of corporate existence. The nec- essary method of effecting a consoli- dation under thé law as it now exists is inconvenient and cumbersome, and | in the interest of bettér and more ef- ficient administration recommends such an amendment of the law as was advised in his last report. The national bank act does not suf- | ficiently protect the rights of minority | stockholders on the question of exten- sion of expiring charters, as explained in detail in the report for 1902, and the Comptroller urges that action be taken on this important matter for the better protection of minority or dis- senting shareholders. The most notable fgct in regard to the national bank circulation is the great increase in its volume, which reached $421,222,489 on September 5, 1903, tHe largest amount which has ever been in circulation. It is 55.43 per cent of the maximum possible cir- culation, which is higher than this percentage has been since 1886. "This increase in the volume of circulation has been largely due to special efforts on the part of the Treasury Depart- ment. It has been feared during the past few months that when the de- mand came for currency to move the crops this year it might produce more than the usual disturbance in the money market. That this demand has met with less disturbance and less ance in rates of interest than for several years past is doubtless due largely, among other causes, to this increase in bank note circulation. It is further of interest to note that just as the circulation was reaching maximum and the demand for s had advanced their price, the sit of lawful money to retire cir- culation, which for some months has been light, suddenly increased, and during the latter half of September applications were received taking up the maximum of $3,000,000 per month for the months of September, October, November and December. This still further emphasizes the one s defect in our system that the tion in the volume of our cur- rency, instead of responding to the de- mand for currency, depends on the market price of bonds. Until out. bank note circulation is made automatically to respond to the demand for currency for daily cash transactions, without reference to the price of bonds, it will be entirely satisfactory or ef- nev ficient. In the Comptroller's report for 1902 a recommendation was made that the national banks be allowed to issue a portion of their notes uncovered by the deposit of bonds. This seems the most simple and practical, as well as the safest way, to introduce some elasticity into our bank note circula- | tion and the same recommendation is renewed. During the past year or more banks have successfully stood the very severe strain due to a great decline in the market prices of all classes of se- curities and the natural reaction fol- | lowing a period of great business ac- tivity and very general speculation, not only in stocks and securities, but in many commodities and products. There have been, considering all the circum- stances, fewer bank failures . than might have been expected. Those which have occurred have been due to special or local causes or gross mis- management' and in some case most flagrant dishonesty on the part of the bank officials. As a rule the reports of the bank examiners show the national banks to own very few stocks and al- most none of a very speculative char- acter. loans by all the banks of $1,372,697,751 on collateral security. These loans are mostly on good classes of stocks and wbonds well margined, and as far as they are concerned there is less cause for concern than there has been at any time for several years. The loans are readjusted on a lower basis of prices than before and are as a whole as am- ply or more amply margined than they were on the higher prices. It is due to the banks to say that the way they have handled their business and met this decline is an evidence of strength and careful management. That there has not been more trouble with the banks and disturb- ance of business generally during this period of declining prices is also a great evidence of the confidence of our our | The bank reports show total | gress Details the CALL’ BUREAU, 1408 G STREET, N.

These figures show a total net de- crease during the year of 11,978. CREATION OF GENERAL STAFF. The important military event of the year affecting the regular army has been the reorganization of the system | of military control under the genéral ! staff act approved February 14, 1903. | This act abolished the separate office | of general commanding the army, pro- | vided for a military chief of staff to the i President, who, acting under the di- rections of the President, or of the Sec- retary of War representing him, should have supervision not only of all troops { of the line, but of the special staff and supply departments which had there- | tofore reported directly to the Secretary of War; and it created for the assist- ance of the chief of staff a corps of | forty-four officers, who were relieved ! from all other duties. The general® plan contempiates that { every subject requiring investigation and study shall be worked out first by the officers assigned to the appropriate division and section of the staff, and, when of sufficient ‘importance, shall then be considered by a genaral staff council composed of the three general officers of the corps and ‘the heads of the three divisions, and shall then be acted upon by the chief ofr staff, or laid before the Secretary of War by him with his recommendation. It is gratifying to report that the new sys- tem of control has been accompanied by most harmonious effort and ‘chéer- ful good will on the part of the mem- bers of the general staff, tha chiefs of | all the War Department bureaus, and the officers of the army at large. Following the same line of policy which led to the organization of the general staff, the Secretaries of War | and the Navy entered into an arrange- ment, with the approval of the Presi- dent, for a joint Army and Navy Board. | The common understanding and mu- | tual assistance between the two ser- vices, which it is within the power of this board to bring about, may be made | to cover a wide range of subjects of great public importance. | TO IMPROVE THE MILITIA. Of equal importance with the general | staff act in its relation to the general | military efficiency of the country is the | act to promote the efficiency of the | militia, approved January 21, 1903, sup- plemented by an appropriation of $2,- | 000,000 in the army appropriation act of March 2, 1903. Congress declared the | National Guard organizations to be the | organized militia, and provided for call- | ing them into the service of the United | States whenever required for the con- stitutional purposes of repelling inva- sion, suppressing insurrection and ex- | ecuting the laws of the Union. | The act provides that the organiza- tion, armament and discipline of the organized militia shall be the same as that prescribed for the regular army. It authorizes participation by the or- ganized militia in joint maneuvers with the regular army, and provides that in | such case the organized militia so par- | ticlpating shall receive the same pay, | subsistence and transportation as is | provided by law for the officers and | men of the regular army, to be paid out of the regular appropriations for the support of the army. It provides for furnishing aid to separate State en- campments of the militia by allowing | out of an annual appropriation of $1,- | 080,000 for militia purposes to the of- ficers and enlisted men engaged in such L e e e e e ] CRUISER FLORA HOLDS FAST TO THE ROCKS Effort to Drag the Stranded British Warship Seaward a Failure. people in all our money and currency. ™~ VICTORIA, B. C., Dec. 6.—An at- If there had been the slightest doubt as to our monetary standard or as to any of our currency in circulation we might have had a most severe and far-reach- ing crisis. That we have not only es- caped this, but that there has not been greater disturbance of general business, ghows what progress and improve- ments there have been in all our bank- ing, financial and monetary affairs since they were last subjected to se- rious strain of this kind.

A separate cable of 120 miles connects Skazway at the head of Lynn Canal with Haines Mission and Juneau. Under the appropriation of March 2, 1903, for the construction and maintenance of a sub- marine cable for connecting the headquarters Department of the Columbia with military Barrisons in Sovtheastern Alaska, the entire cable of about 1300 miles in length has been manufactured in the United States and deliv. ered on the Pacific Coast. Two hundred and ninety-two niles, connecting Jumeau with Sitka, have been lald and are In operation. The remainder of the cable, sufficient to cover the distance between Seattle and Sitka, esti- | mated at 970 miles, is at Seattle aeady to be laid as soon as conditions of navigation permit. As the cable was manufactured on the Atlan- tic Const and Its great weight practically pro- hibited transporation by rail, it was necessary to send it around Cape Horn. Only an un- fortunate delay in the commerclal steamer carrying part of the shipment prevented the completion of the undertaking before the win- ter storms Interrupted the work. With the completion of this work next epring we shall have two separate telegraph systems, one in Northwestern Alaska of about 1690 miles, and the other a cable system of about 1400 miles, connecting all important points in Southeastern Alaska with the tele- graph system of the United States. There will romain a break between tha two systems of about 565 miles, which should be closed by a cable from Sitka to Vaidez. TROOPS IN THE PHILIPPINES. On the 15th of October, 1903, the American troops in the Philippines con- sisted of 843 officers and 14,667 enlisted men. General George .W. Davis, the division commander until the 25th 'of July, has reported that the number can be still further reduced, and Secretary Root agrees with that opinion. It is not desirable, however, to make any further reduction until the construction of barracks and quarters in the United States has made further progtess. There are also ninety-nine officers and 4805 enlisted men of the Philippine scouts. There is not at present much occasion for the use of American troops outside of the Moro country, but the moral effect of their presence is un- doubtedly salutary. The census of the Philippine Islands, taken by General Sanger, gives the civ- ilized people of the entire archipelago as 6,975,000, and the wild tribes 615,000; tatal, 7,690,000, 806 | tolerate no violence, but will order out | both Governor Peabody and President [ his talk was very pleasant. | conference Mitchell left for Chicago to HIS N0 EFFECT Nothing Accomplished oy Int\erview With Governor.

Speaking of his talk with Mitchell, Governor Peabody said to-night: “The conference was very pleasant, although productive of no -result. At its conclusion President Mitchell stated that, so far as he can sge, there is no immediate probability of a settlement of the strike.” . The Governor added that when he asked Mitchell if he had.any sugges- | tion to make, the latter said he believed if a committee of the miners could meet with the operators and,talk over the situation, a settlement might be ‘ef- fected.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, Dec. 6.— James Gaughan, under Sheriff, whose action in releasing an imprisoned strik- er against whom an information charg- ing assault was to be filed was the im- mediate cause of sending troops to the district, has been removed from office by the military. Gaughan was at one time a representative in the State Leg- slature from this county. The county jailer also was removed. Adjutant General Bell, who has ar- rived here, has issued a statement de- fining martial law and it will be en- forced. He defined military necessity, insurrection and treason.” Of the latter he says: “Armed or unarmed resistance by citizens of the United States against the lawful movement of the militia is treason and the punishment is death.” Under the head/ of ‘“Military Neces- sity,” General Bell says: “Military ne- cessity permits of all destruction of life or limb of armed enemies or other per- sons whose destruction is incidentally unavoidable. It does not admit of eru- elty. It admits of deception, but dis- claims acts of perfidy.

From the facts that were brought out during the Thomson trial, the impression has gone forth that no small amount of land has been acquired through means similar to those shown to have been employed in this instance.
