[ The committee composed of Judge Em
ory Speer, chairman, Major W. H. Rosts,
Messrs. S. R. Jaques, I. TL English, W. R.
Rogers, N. B. Corbin, Tom W. Loyless
and George Ketchum, appointed to make
arrangements for the reception and enter
tainment of President McKinley and party
met this morning with Generals Wilson
and Bates and afterward in Judge Speer's
office, and completed their plans.
The president and party will arrive on
a special train from Savannah at 8:30
o’clock. They will be met at the train
by the reception committee and Generals
Wilson and Bates and their staffs, "who
with a portion of the Seventh cavalry,
will act as an escort.
The presidential party will be driven in
carriages to the reviewing stand, which
will be erected at the intersection of Sec
ond and iCherry streets. The review of
troops wp'l take place at once, consuming
about an hour. At 10 o’clock the presi
dent and party, 'accompanied by the recep
tion committee and military escort, will
be driven about the city, the line of march
being over the pricipal residence streets
and probably through Vineville. Retum-
I ing, the presidential party will be ten
i dered a buffet lunch at the residence of
i Judge William H. Felton, where a sort of
informal reception will be held, after
which the party 'will be driven to the de
pot and take the train for Washington.
The committee especially desires to im
press upon the people the necessity for
decorating their stores and residences.
Especially should this be done along the
route of the president’s drive be decor
j a ted.
It is also hoped that the public school
I .children will be given a holiday; that they
■ will meet at their schools at the usual
hour and, accompanied by their teachers,
march either to the reviewing stand or to
the hll'l in front of Judge Felton’s resi
dence. The happy suggestion has also
been made that each child carry a small
United States flag. •
A special committee from the Chamber
of Commerce will be appointed to raise
the necessary fund for the president’s re
; ception ‘and entertainment. Mayor Price
' was met by the .committee this morning
I and very kindly consented to have the re
l viewing stand built by the city.
NO FRANCHISE EXTENSION
Chicago Cit'zens Inclined to Municipal Own
ership.
Chicago, Dec. 12 —Central Music hall was
yesterday afternoon filled with citizens of
Chicago who had gathered in mass con
vention in order to iproteet against the ex
tension of the franchise of Chicago street
car lines to fifty years. Early in the
meeting the speakers dwelt upon the ques
tion of compensation for extension of street
car grants, but before its close the propo
sition of municipal ownership was exten
sively touched on, add received generous
applause. The resolutions, which were
prepared in advance, were found inade-
I quate to the sentiment of the meeting, and
■ a resolution was included favoring muni
cipal ownership of the street car lines, if
not this year then when the present grants
expire in 1903.
WOULD HONOR WASHINGTON.
■
Wales has Spoken Favorably of a Monu
ment to the American,
London, Dec. 12. —Il is understood that
the Prince of Wales has spoken approv
ingly of the proposed monument to George
Washington in 'Westminister Abbey.
Several members of the Anglo-American
League recently approached Dean Bradley
of Westminster Abbey suggesting that a
national monument to Washington should
be erected in the abbey.
The memorialists urge that ings
which had in the past existed in England
against Washington had long since disap
peared, and that the movement for the
I monument at the present juncture would
be. a groat influence for good as tending
to cement the friendly relations rapidly
growing between the two nations.
The dean was also reminded of the
I memorials to the two American poets,
i Longfellow and Low’d!, which are already
■ in The abbey. The dean thereupon agreed
I to consult with others and to consider the
' matter fully,
; It is said the dean had the matter
brought to the attention of the Prince of
Wales, who regarded the project favora
bly.
In reply to. the Journal correspondent.
Dean Bradley said he had not entertained
any definite proposition as yet, but had
I listened to many suggestions regarding
; the matter from members of the league
and others. He said he did not care to
! discuss the project until the- league had
> taken further action.

A GREAT COMPLIMENT

What the President Actually Said
to M iss Wilson—Touched by
her Appearance.
I
,
J The members of the Macon committee
who went to Washington were honored in
more ways than one. There is published
in the city a handsomely printed and il
lustrated society (paper called “After
thought.” This journal not only gave an
account of the visit of the committee to
the president, but printed a full page pho
tograph of the committee grouped, the per
sons appearing being Hon. Charles L.
1 Bartlett, Edgar S. Wilson, George A.
, Macdonald, George A. Smith, T. E. Ar-
■ tope and David W. Hill. The president’s
i words on receiving the engrossed copy of '
the resolutions of the Chamber of Com
merce from the fair hands of Miss Mary
Wilson are given as follows:
“It gives me infinite pleasure to know
that there is so much interest displayed
in my visit to Macon, as to induce the
ladies of the South, to be represented per
sonally. It gives me great pleasure, I as
sure you to receive it from your fair
hands.”
In addition the paper says: “President
McKinley will be the first President of the
United States to have visited the beautiful
city of Macon, and while its citizens feel
proud of the distinction conferred upon
them, they are also proud to introduce
this fair Southern city to the nation’s
chief executive,
“To Col. L. S. Brown, of the Southern
railroad, and Mr. George A. Macdonald, of
the Georgia Southern and Florida, must
be accredited the lelightful arrangements
which have been provided for the con
venience of the presidential party on their
Southern trip.”
ENORMOUS REPORT.
Extraordinary Amount of Money Held by
New York Banks.
M hile new records are being made in '
connection with ’the volume of bank clear- !
1 ings at New York and throughout the I
■ country at large, it is no less important to :
i notice that the deposits and loans of the
: banks are assuming unparalleled dimen
sions. The circumstances in this connec-
I tion seems to be general, and from many
widely-separated interior points the inti- I
'matrons are that the banks are unable to i
, profitably employ their accumulating de- |
I posits, so that in some cases a reduction !
1 of the interest usually allowed to certain 1
classes of large 'depositors is 'being dis
i cussed a a necejsity of the situation.
i The New York banks, as will be seen
by the suhimary of the weekly Clearing
House averages published on last Saturday j
for the week ending on that day, now have
an altogether unprecedented amount of de
posits and loans. The.former item at the
end of last week was $789,000,000, compar
ed with $666,000,000 The year before and '
$502,000,000 in the first week of December |
1896. The loans have also kept pace with .
the expansion cf deposits, the average of
the former item being $697,000,000, which
is an increase of some $100,000,000 over the
figures a year ago, while it composes only
$472,441,000 of outstanding loans in 1896.
Meantime the total cash reserves are now
$214,479,000, or 27.2 per cent., as against
the legal reserve requirement of 25 per
cen., and the surplus reserve, standing at ;
$17,097,000, is sufficient for all practical
purposes of assuring the financial commu
j nity as to the probability of comparatively
easy money-market conditions for a long
time to come.
There are a number of very interesting
points in regard to' the present position of i
the New York banks. It may be noted I
that the rise of their deposits has been at- 1
I tended by a large gain in the reserve bal- j
j ances which interior banks are maintain-
I ing with their metropolitan ■correspon
i dents. The plethoric condition of The
banks at so many local centers has already
been referred <o and would explain in part
the gravitation of funds toward New York, .
even though the interest allowed on such :
balances is limited, and the banks find lit- *
tie prifit 111 them when call loans are quo- j
ted (as is now .the case) at 2y 2 per cent
for a miximum. It may be remembered,
however, that after January 1 a very large
further influx oi outside money is looked
for, with the probability that all previous I
records in respect to New York’s deposits '
will be broken. This expectation is based I
on the belief that, the January Ist pay- '
ments and settlements once finished, the '
pressure of idle and superabundant money '
in various cities will become more intense !
and cause possibly an exaggeration of the ,
customary midwinter flow of funds from ■
the interior to New York.
The item of loans is entitled to examina
tion at this time, not only on account o’ I
its large amount, but of the general char
acter of current borrowings. It seems to
( be admitted, that a very large, probably '
the largest, proportion of the whole $697-, ;
i 000,000 represents call loans. The stock
market. seems to have practically ceased to
! borrow in any other way, and week after 1
' week the descriptions of the money market
' published in these columns have dwelt on
I the limited inquiry for time loans and the
1 poor supply of commercial paper. Yet
I there has been one ieattfre of an acitve
kind in regard to loans. The fact that
since October 1 the average bank loans at
New York have increased from $635,000,000
I to the present level is principally due to
the borrowing cf large amounts of money
lon foreign exchange collateral. The in
| creased activity of the stock and bond
I markets has, of course, contributed to
, some extent to this result, but the $60,000.-
i 000 gain in two months in the loans of the
New York institutions could hardly have
been seen had the relative plenty and ease
of the money markets here, as compared
with London and Berlin, afforded bankers
here au opportunity to find profitable em
ployment for their reserves by discounting
Europe's time obligations incurred through
its purchases of broatstuffs and other pro
ducts.
