would enable the banks of Savannah,
tor inatance. the central port for cotton,
*5,Pay for the time being their indi
vidual notes. The programme was this:
Bank A, with a capital of 1500,000, would
issue notes to the amount of 20 per
cent of that capital. There were six
banks in Savannah. All of them would
indorse the bills of each. In addition
to that, collateral security would be
put up. This would be true as to all
the state banks of Savannah, so that in
ten days tbore would be at least 3600,000
additional money in circulation in that
aty. It would not be. perhaps, money,
but would be the notea of individual
banks, and would be good for paying
debts there and elsewhere. So it would
be in all other cities. If objeetton were
made that the repeal of the tax on
state bank circulation would encour
age the establishment of state banks,
the reply was t«at no one would think
of taking a dollar of stock In a new
bank that would be wiped out of ex
istence by the expiration of the pro
visions '6f the act.
Wlmt Bankers Thought.
Only last night he had a conference
with a large number of aa able bankers
as there were in the country and they
were ail of She opinion that the circula
tion thus provided would relieve Geor
gia, Texas, Mississippi and all the cot
ton slates within a few days after the
removal of the embargo on the move
ment of the cotton crop. It was a mat
ter of gigantic moment to those states.
The banks were today absolutely not
only without ability to provide the
money for moving the cotton crop, but
they were without ability to command
their own money lying in deposit in
the city of New York. The cheeks
which they drew on their own deposits
In the New York banks were paid In
some other way than tn the circulating
medium. The bill which he initiroduoed
would supply temporary currency
,ioh would pay every dollar
indebtedness In any *t»te that
happened to possess it. There
was not a merchant in any of <■•£
towns of that region who would not
recognise the fact that the notes o!
any bank to the amount of 20 per cent
Ha capital would be good In. themselves,
but In addition to that these banks
would have to put up collateral and
other banks would Indorse the notes.
There was no better money In the
country than these notes would be
They would be equivalent to a Shill
lead of gold and would at once move
the entire cotton crop and relieve the
commercial stringency. He asked the
serious attention of the senate to th
bill. While he knew hat his remark-
that It would relieve the panic in tit
teen days was calculated to provoke
a smile, he undertook to say that li
would relieve the panic In ten dayi
after Its passage. It would do' It lr
every Southern state. There had nevet
bean a defaulting bank in the city ot
Savannah, except when they wer
wli>ed out of existence during the war"
He asked the reference of the bill t
the finance committe, and he askef
that committee to report It bad!
promptly. The bill was then read tr
the finance committee. It suspends tot
H'puths the operation of seettor
3.412 of the revised statutes, which 1m
poses a tax of io per cent, on the note!
of state banks.
Tashir.gion, Aug. 15.—The debate In
I tb house today was not especially Im-
ljutant. It merely gave an opportu-
1 gty for members to give expression to
ibir views. The most Interesting
I tpeech, because It was really the worst
Republican protest against free coln-
je, was delivered by Mr. Grosvenor
( Ohio, and which was lacking neither
, sarcasm nor saflre.
Mr. Snodgrass, Democrat, from Ten-
I lessee, made a bitter assault upon his
■ colleague, Patterson, on account of the
■ position taken by that gentleman
ftiainst free coinage.
After prayer and the reading and
(approval of the Journal, before a email
l»ttendar.ce of members, Mr. Burrows
■offered a resolution giving Charles E
iBelkuap the right to contest the seat
|of George F. Richardson, from the
rlfty-first district of Michigan. Mr.
Richardson, the sitting member, asked
the resolution he laid over until
^morrow, and it was so ordered.

it*t was money against credit. Dollars

MR' BLOUNT HAS RETURNED.
Hour He Left Affair* on Ills Departure
From Honolulu.
San Francisco, Aug. 15.—Minister
Blount was among the passengers of
the steamer Gaelic which arrived here
today. He ig looking well and Is In
good spirits. He had nothing to say
about his recommendations in refer
ence to Hawaii.
How 5Jr. mount Lett Affair*.
Honolulu, via San Frandaco, Cal.,
Avg. 8.—The leading topic of discussion
here for the last forty-dght hours has
been Minister Blount's announcement
that he would leave by the steamer
Gaelic today, it has alto lately trans
pired that he has taksn a definite stand
back of the provisional government on
oertaln demand, made by the Japanese.
Prominent annexationists declare Mr.
Blount to be favorable to the eetabllah-
ment of a protectorate over Hawaii.
The Royalism are not very favorably
impressed by the proposed new treaty
from Washington, while on the other
ban tile annexationists are elated and
assert that they have still other grounds
for behoving that the beginning of the
end has not been reached.
In reply to inquiries during an ex
tended interview Minlater Blount said
In substance:
"l am going home owing to the pres
sure of my private affairs. I am done
with my work here and there Is r.o ne
cessity for me to remain. Besides «
shall leave things here in good shape
and there is no' anticipation that trouble
will be precipitated during an Interval
of thirty days, which will likely pan
before my suoc*s»or can arrive, if he
does not come on the Australia before
1 leave. I have notified the state
department of my Intended de
parture. i shall turn over the
archleva* ot the department with
other property to Consul General
Scverenco at noon of August 8, If the
Gaelic arrives in the morning. There
no danger of any disturbances from
annexationists and in conversation with
leading Royalists,I have learned that
they will make no further opposition
to the provisional government until
after the decision of the United States
is announced on the proposition for an.
negation. I am anxious to get home,
and am confident the provisional gov
ernment Is capable of preserving the
peace and quiet, of the country."
This morning It waa learned directly
and positively that the Japanese gov
ernment haa lately been pressing fhe
provisional government for some
prompt assurance of the future suffrage
for Japanese Immigrants here. After
consultation with Minister Blount the
provisional govornmont declined to an
swer the Jspanese government pend
ing the settlement of the annexation
question by the United States.

IN A QUANDARY.
The Reticence of the Leaders Ap
pears to be the Cause of Thiz
State of Affairs.
■Washington. Aug. 15.—The recretary
of state ha* received oable advices from
Paris which in general terms confirm
the United Press bulletin list the de-
clxlon of the arbitration tribunal on all
point* involving exclusive Jurisdiction
over Behring are had been rendered
against the United States. That la to
to say the tribunal has decided:
1. That Russia did not aaaert and ex
ercise exclurive Jurisdiction in Behring
sea and in the aeal fisheries therm prior
to the ernalon of Alaska to the United
States.
2. That consequently Orest Britain
never conceded any such rights
Russia.
3. That Behring sea was not included
in the phrase Pacific ocean as wa* In
the treaty of 1825 between Greet Britain
and Russia; and
4. That consequently no exclusive
rights of Jurisdiction over Behring sea
and over the aeal fisheries therein passed
to the United States with Alaska un
der th# treaty of 1187.
The Inference is thM K is under the
last of the five points submitted to ar
bitration by article 8 of the treaty that
oonceariont ts to the dose season, a CO-
mile protected zone and the prohibition
ot the us* ot firearm* apply. This fifth
point was the one on which tb* great
est stress wa*. laid in the argument by
the Untied States’ counsel. It raised
the Question whether the United States
bad any right to the protection of prop-
erty tn the fur seals frequenting the
islands of Behring aea outside th* three-
mils limit.

certainty what the' outcome will be
the debate over the Wilson bill pro
viding for the unconditional repeal ol
the Sherman silver purchase act, ana
the Bland substitute, which provide)
for the tree coinage of silver. After k
pretty thorough canvas, of 'he situa
tion. I should say that tt a vote were
taken tomorrow In the house of repre
sentatives the Wilson bill would ctrry
by a small majority; but In the senatt
don't believe It would have a ghost
a chance. More than a sufficient
number of reresentatlves, however, are
undecided as to how they shall vote,
that when the final roll call la made
an entirely different result 1* by no
means Improbable.
*Zlie Leaders Are Itetlrent.
This uncertainty 1» due very largely
the reticence of the men who *rn
leading the fight for repeal Thera
are many representatives, especially
from the South, who would gladly "vote
for unconditional repeal could they lie
assured that this would not result to
an immediate adjournment of congress
and a consequent Indefinite postpone
ment of the settlement of the financial
question. While these men are no!
wedded to free coinage at the present
time and tre willing to have that phase
of the question postponed for a while
they are thoroughly of the opinion
that even free coinage Iq preferable
to a simple repeal of the Sherman tew.
They hold that th* passage of the
Wilson bill and an Immediate adjourn
ment means a disruption bf the Demo
cratic party, and. being honest tn this
feeling, they insist on pledges that
other measure* shall be taken up dur
Ing the present extra session. There
are indication* that the pledge* may
be given before the end of the d
In fhe house.
An Administration Idea.
I had a talk today with a gentleman
who It close to the president and who
Is a big figure In the administration.
~> said:
'What t« wanted now la Immediate
relief. I believe that this can fee *e-
cured beat by the passage of a bill not
only permitting, but compelling, the
national banka to Issue Mil* to the full
par value of the bond, they have de
posited as a basis of circulation; and
of another providing for the Immedl
ate coinage of the ellver bullion now
In tb* treasury and the lesuanc* In
advance of the coinage of sliver Cer
tificates against It. Thl* would give
Immediate and effective relief."
May I any that this la the plan of
the Administration?" I asked.
'No. I would not authorise that
•tatement. These are my own views.
What President Cleveland propose* not
even hia most intimate friends know.”
The free coinage of sliver." con
tinued the statesman, "leaving out the
question of its ultimate 'advisability,
can give us no immediate relief. The
mints cannot turn out more than 138,-
000.000 a year, and consequently an ab
solute contraction of th* currency would
follow. Many of our wisest financier*
claim that the free coinage ot silver
would tend gold to a premium.
Whether thl* Is *o or not, the minute
the free coinage Mil became ■ law,
-ery owner of gold would hoard It
itll It became positive that the vello
metal would not command a premium.
'The free coinage of silver at this
Juncture would. It seems to me, be dis
astrous.”

N. K. FAIRBANK & CO.,
CtllCAQO AND ST. LOUIS,
debate
At the present writing, as near as r
can judg*. the Hon. T. B. Cabaniss of
the Macon district Is the only member
of the Georgia delegation in either
house who will vote for the Wllion
bill without amendment. He favors
the plan outlined by the gentleman
quoted above, and while he te in favor
of the Speedy repeal of the Sherman
law without conditions, be will fight
any effort at adjournment until some
other measures of relief are taken.
There la ■ general ftellng that If
President Cleveland or Mr. Wilson
would announce a programme to
followed out Immadiately after the re
peal of the 8h*rman law that that met,
ure would be repealed without a dou!
but that if they do not. It is not at
unlikely that a free coinage measure
wilt be presented to the president for
his signature.
