GAGEGUOTCYIDEfI PLAN OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY SUBMITTED TO CONGRESS. CHANGES IN BANKING LAW. NOTES TO TAKE THE PLACE OF GREENBACKS THAT ARE RETIRED. NEW DEPARTMENT IN TREASURY. Fuuctions of the "I«»ne and Re demption" Ilureuii Outlined— Heavy Deficit for the Year. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.— The annual report of the secretary of the treasury, sent to congress today, shows that the total receipts for the year ended iune 30, 1897, were $430,378,167 and the ex penditures $448,439,622, leaving a deficit of $18,052,454. The receipts of ths year, however, ex ceeded those for the yeaV 1896 by $20, --»11,759. The customs, It is shown, yielded $176,554,126, and internal revenue sources $146,688,574. As compared with 1896 this is an increase in the customs of $16,532,374, and in internal revenue of $4,342,721. The secretary at some length argues the need of a reform in the currency, and in conclusion recommends the en actment of legislation establishing a department of the treasury to be desig nated as the issue and redemption divi sion, in which is to be deposited $125, --000,000 in gold to be used only for re demption purposes, and all silver now held in the treasury for redemption pur poses, and also all silver bought under the act of 1890. He further recommends that the sum of $200,000,000 in United States legal tender notes be also deposited in the division to be disbursed therefrom only from the receipt of gold. It is also rec ommended that provision be made for the issue of refunding loan ten-year 2Va per cent bonds, payable in gold, in exchange for any part or all of the out standing loans of. the United States. These recommendations are as follows: LEGISLATION SUGGESTED. First— l recommend that proper legislation be enacted which will establish, separate and apart from the ordinary operations of the treasury as they relate to revenue and ex penditures, a department to be designated and known as the issue and redemption division. To this division the sum of $125,000,000 in gold should be set over from the general lund in the treasury, to be used only for redemption purposes, and all the silver dol lars now hold for redemption of silver certiii catcs, and all the silver bullion and dollars coined therefrom, bought under the act of 1890 should be passed to the same account. Further, that the sum of $200,000,000 in the legal tender notes of the United States known as greenbacks be collected as hereinafter de scribed, and deposited in the said issue and redemption division to be disbursed there from only upon the receipt in exchange there for of an equivalent amount of gold coin, such gold, when so secured, to be held in said division as part of the general redemp tion fund. Second — I recommend that provision be made for the issue of refunding loan bonds, payable after ten years at the pleasure of the government, such bonds to bear interest at the rate of '£*>'« per cent per annum, pay able, principal and interest, in gold coin; and that the secretary of the treasury be au thorized to Issue such bends and receive In payment therefor, with an equitable allow ance for the difference in Interest, any part or all of the outstanding loans of the United States which mature by thplr terms of pay ments in the years 1904, 1907 and 1923. The advantage involved in the proposed ac tion lies in this: It removes an ambiguity from our contract obligations— an ambiguity which affects unfavorably the government credit. The word "coin," now used to ex lOOflL Whether itching, burning, bleeding, scaly, crusted, pimply, or blotchy, -whether simple, scrofulous, or hereditary, from infancy to age, speedily cured by warm baths with Cdticura Soap, gentle anointings with Ccticura(oint ment), the great skin cure, and mild doses of CrmcuitA Resolvent, greatest of blood purifiers and humor cures.

'".. izit. J j ' press the obligation in the public debt, is an ambiguous word. It is no doubt understood by the more discriminating public creditor to mean gold coin, and tho solemn act of congress pledging the maintenance of silver coin upon a parity with gold coin makes it .impossible to construe tho word "coin," as therein used, to mean anything other than gold or its full equivalent. Yet as this is a conclusion of logic rather than a clear state ment of fact, the simpler and more humble investors or would-be Investors In the public debt are confused and doubtful, and the pub lic credit is the weaker therefor. The recommendations I make must be con strued not as being in themselves final meas ures, but rather as tentative steps in a direc tion which, consistently pursued, will lead to conditions ultimately desirable. The con dition of the treasury In its relation to de mand obligations requires that one of two steps promptly be taken. The oue may be a large reinforcement of the permanent gold reserve; tho other may be by an important reduction in the objectionable form of liabili ties. The latter is, in my opinion, the more desirable. BANKING AMENDMENTS. Amendments to the banking law are suggested as follows: First— Permit national banks to be organ ized with a minimum capital of $25,000. in any place having a population of 2,000 inhab itants or less. Second — Reduce the rate of taxation or cir culating notes secured by deposit of bonds to one-half of 1 per cent per annum. Third— Permit banks now organized or hereafter to be organized to issue circulating notes to the par value of the refunding bonds, hereinbefore suggested, when deposited by them with the treasurer of the United States, and, further, allow such banks, as shall avail themselves of the opportunity, to deposit as security with the treasury of the United States greenbacks, treasury notes, or silver certificates to a total amount of $200,000,000. against which there shall at once be Issued ! to them by the comptroller of the currency | national bank notes to an'eiiual amount, it being further provided that from time to time, at his convenience, the secretary of the treasury shall substitute for the greenbacks, treasury notes and silver certificates so de posited to secure circulation, bonds of the same class anl character as the refunding bonds first named to the amount of $200,000.- CKjO. such bonds to be chargeable to said bank 3 and by them accounted for at such price (not less than par) as the market quotations may Indicate to be their fair market value. Dur ing the period of time intervening between the deposit of greenbacks, treasury notes and silver certificates and the substitution of the bonds by the secretary of the treasury, the circulating notes specifically issued therefor shall be exempt from taxation. Upon such substitution of bonds the funds released there by shall at once be transferred by the sec rotary of the treasury to the issue and re demption division. Fourth— After said banks have deposited such bonds, greenbacks, treasury notes, or silver certificates to the amount of HO per cent of their capital they shall be permitted to issue bank notes in addition to tho 50 per cent thus provided, to the extent of 25 per cent of such deposit, which said 25 per cent may be unsecured by an direct pledge of security, but issued against the assets of the bank. Fifth— Extend the guaranty of payment by the government to all circulating notes of the bank, whether issued against deposited security or against assets. TWO PEIR CENT TAX. Sixth— To secure the government against loss, if any. attaching to its guaranty a tax of 2 per cent per annum on unsecured circu lation shall be levied to create a safety fund, which fund shall be invested by the secretary of the treasury and the comptroller of tht currency in government bonds. In addition to such funds the government shall be fur ther protected by having a first lien upon all assets, in case of failure of the issuing bank. Seventh— All notes shall be redeemed In the city of New York, at the subtreasury, and at such other subtreasuries as may be designated by the comptroller of the treasury, with the approval of the secretary of the treasury. The control of such redemption shall be under the direction of the comptroller of the currency and made from a redemption fund of 10 per cent, to be provided and maintained by the brinks. Eighth— Restrict the issue of national bank notes to the denomination of $10 and upward. An examination of the plan herein proposed will show that the amendments suggested are not of a distinctly radical character. It is believed that banks organized under the na tional bank act. with these amendments, would, within the limitations named, give upon a thoroughly safe basis a desirable cred it currency, and lead, as the result of time and experience, ultimately to freedom of is sue. A careful investigation of tha commer cial conditions of the country at different periods of the year shows how essential to those sections depending upon the prompt moving of the staple crops of cotton, wheat and corn is a bank note issue, which enables the local bank to supply its customers with the means necessary for such purpose with in the shortest period of time and at the lowest cost. Such an investigation will also indicate how adequate is the government note to meet these exigencies. The govern ment notes, like gold, or coal, or salt, or lumber, exist at a given time in fixed amounts. The local bank note, on the con trary, is within legal limitations, subject to increase at the point where needed, and the needs of the community unite with the motive of the banker in supplying these wants as they find expression. In illustration of this point attention is called to the extent to which the crop-producing sections of the country are now dependent as borrowers of money upon other sections. The national banks located in the South ern states have an aggregate capital of $68, --680.C00. On Oct. 6, 1596, they had borrowed, largely from banks in the East, to assist in handling the cotton crop, $13,545,000. On March 9 following these loans had been re duced to $2,516,20:). They succeeded in borrow ing for a part of their needs, but commercial necessities required more. With proper bank ing facilities the necessity for such borrowing now existing would be reduced to a mini mum. MORE MONEY. 1 am confident that under an act allowing a greater liberality of issue and less burden some rates of taxation, those banks would find it to their interest to issue, Instead of $15,960,000, the amount which they have at present outstanding, a sum equal to the full amount of their capital, and, in addition, in, the season of crop activity, an additional un secured olume of circulation approximating 25 per cent of their capital.

WALLER'S STAR DIM NO LONGER THE FAVORITE IN THE BIG SIX-DAY CYCLE RACE. MILLER IS IN THE LEAD. HIS WONDERFUL WORK THE SEN SATION OF THE SECOND DAY OF TOIL. EIGHTEEN MEN STILL STRUGGLING Weary Riders Reeling: About the Him of the Great Saucer With Grim Determination. NEW YORK, Dec. 7.— Miller was far advanced into his 900 th mile at mid j night tonig-ht, in the six-day bicycle i race. Waller's star had faded before j the dawn, and his record-breaking per- I formance of yesterday in Madison : Square garden was forgotten in the ; astonishing achievements of Miller, i Stephane and Rice. Waller is now far j down in the list of the eighteen stayers | out of the thirty-six that started. Seven thousand persons sat tonight ! for hours watching the riders reeling | around the rim of the great saucer. The weary figures, however, were indiffer ent to the cheers that greeted them at every occasional burst of speed, but continued to grind around, looking neither to the right nor left. But for the fact that the riders are adorned ; with almost every color of the rainbow, ! tfiere is but little to see in the great race. Forty-eight hours of incessant riding around the oval, with loss of j sleep, has transformed the strong, I healthy, robust-looking athletes of Sun day night into men of careworn appear ance. They still continued to work the pedals with as much vigor and seemirfgly more determination than an hour after the start. The score at 1:15 a. m. was as follows- Miller, 872—2; Stephane, 822—0; Rice 812—2- Schinneer, 81)2— Z\ Riverre, 815—7; Moore 778-^ 7; Waller, 7G3— l; Pierce. 779—3; Golden, 734— 4; Hale, 729—7; Elkes, 724—8; Bnterman, 6S3— 2; King, 639— 0; Gannon, 603—2; Julius, 567 — I; Johnson, 531 — 7; Beacon, 510 — 6; Gray, 491 — 7. Miller was ninety miles and two laps ahead of the record for forty-nine hours. When the first spectators began to gather around the track today they found only twenty, riders instead of the thirty-six who started in the race. The pace set by the leaders had told quickly, and many men known as stayers were glad to quit. Those who still plodded along seemed in fairly good condition. No serious accident has marred the race so far, except in the case of Foster, who was com pelled to quit early yesterday on ac count of a bad spill. Smith, the Sara toga rider, retired shortly after mid night, suffering from dysentery. Among the others who quit during the night and early this morning were Barnaby, Blakeslee, McLeod and Reading. The last-named is the plucky soldier who holds the record for sit ting 260 miles in the saddle without dismounting. Enterman had a spill about 2 a. m. and bent his handle.bars. He was soon mounted on another wheel and circled the track at a good clip. The score at 12:15 p. m. (thirty six hours) was as follows: Stephane, 670; Waller, 668; Miller, 645; G. Rivierre, 653: Rice. 631; Moore. 607; Schineer, CO2; Pierce. 599; Golden, 570; Elkes. r»56; Hale, 538: Enterman. 539; Hicks. 533; Ashinger. 452; King, 466: Julius, 452; Gannon, 451; Gray, 383; Johnson, 370; Beacon, 360. The best previous record for thirty-six hours in a six days' race, 585 miles, made by" Schock at Washington. Stephane took the lead at 11:47 a. m. Chase, the English middle-distance champion, who is here to race Michael and Teddy Goodman, furnished excite- j ment for the crowd between 4 and 5 I o'clock by "hitting it up" for several laps. Goodman soon withdrew, but Champion Eddie Bald and "Skeeter" Arthur Zimmerman, the former cham pion of the world, joined Chase in a brush. The trio raced around the track Jta close order and the big crowd howled their delight when- Bald passed the English middle-distance champion. Chase moves like the great man he is, and if looks count for anything, Jimmy Michael will have ( his hands full when tho pair meet. Waller fell back to sixth plac? during the forty-second hour of the race, Sc-hineer leading him. Plucky Joe Rice has become the big favorite with the crowd. At the end of the forty-second hour . he was riding as free and easy as anybody in the contest. Waller came on the track again at 6:30 and went wobbling around in a faint-hearted sorr of a way. With the first burst of music in the evening a lively ppurt began with Rice setting the pace. The big crowd was with Rice and egged him on to even greater deeds than he has already per formed. He had rested nineteen min utes between the hours of 7 and 8 o'clock and came back looking fresh. He responded to the cries of "Go on. Rice," "Get in, get in," and went purrp ing around the track in «i manner that made o-ne's head reel. Elkes, Riverre and Miller got in behind him ard away they went, reeling up laps almost as fast as the scorers could keep tab on them. This pace was kept up by Rice and his pursuers until the hour closed. Golden is surprising those who sneered when the possibility of his being in at the finish was suggested. Hale kept pushing away looking unruffled. Elkes, riding in his pretty style, showed no signs of fatigue, and in fact looked a bit fresher than he did Monday night. Waller, who had begun the night." ride with faint heart, was cheered by the presence of his devoted wife in his quarters alongside the track, ard in the course of an hour was riding better than he had been for several hours. About 8 o'clock Johnson, one of the "tail-enders," astonished the 7,000 peo ple in the house by letting himself out, and he lopped off three lags in faster time than he has heretofore made. Elkes shot in behind him and -reaped so much benefit that in a little while he was leading "the fast division," with Riverre taking him up. Riverre got going like fury with Schineer close behind him. Miller was not a wheel's Bi behind and Stephane kept close h to show that he was still deter l to tire his competitor out. us captures the sympathy of all peer into his quarters. He is a lad, and it is claimed that with r care he has in him gTeat pos- The riders are still human beings. Their prompt responses to the music of the band, showed that they have not yet lost all the feeling for outward in fluence^. Teddy I?aFe left the track at 9 o'clock. At that time the garden held 10,000 people. NEW VIEW OF* IVES' DEFEAT. Master of < ircmon its Cowles Said to Have Done the Interfering. NEW YORK, Dec. f.— The story of the dis pute aver the billiard tournament was dis cussed with interest* by the lovers of th game today. It now transpires that, whil Ives was interefered- with Just as he was about to make the shot. It was not Edwan McLaughlin, the rerlereeji who caused th trouble, but T. Z. Cowles. F.he master of cer emonies. Mr. Cowles bad no Idea of inten tionally Interfering With "Ives, but that h did so is now admitted.

I saw Mr. Cowles' lips move as if he was saying something to Mr Ives. Then Mr. Ives missed his shot am turned away from the table muttering." Added interest in this- incident will be fel In St. Paul, as Mr. Cowles is well known here. He was for a time managing editor o the Pioneer Press club's billiard table, am incidentally managing editor of the Pionee Press. CHALLENGE FROM CHASE. Three Race* Proponed to Michael by the lOtiu'liNlimuii. NEW YORK, Dec. 7.— W. G. Walton man ager of A. A. Chase, champion middle dis tance bicyclist of Great Britain, is out with the following statement: In order to prove which is actually the faster rider, I herewith make the following proposition: Chase will meet Michael in a scries of three races for $500 a side and the largest purse offered, the races to be as follows: 1. A pursuit race to the finish, unpaced. 2. A scratch race, unpaced, at a distance to be mutually agreed upon. 3.

'■>• ~ ' ■ CROOT D|£aD. '* ' Blow That Wori a World's Cham. ItioiiMhlp < (isr it Life. - LONDON, Dec. 7.— Walter Croot, of New castle. Eng.. who was defeated for the ban tamweight championship of the world ai the National Sporting.club.last night by Jim my Barry, of Chicago 1 , dir*d this morning of the injuries which he .received during the con test. The knockout .blows consisted of a severe punch over the heart and then a crushing right-hander ; on tfhe jaw. Croot re mained unconscious s» long that medical as sistance was called.

Large Salary and Only Nominal Duties (or the Veteran. CHICAGO, Dec. 7.— The Record today says: Adrian C. Anson's retirement from the man agement of the Chicago ,Base Ball,, club has it last been practically decided Upon and a means found whereby it can be done satisfac torily to all concerned. ■ The veteran player, captain and manager will, be given a berth In the club which will carry wich it few duties, but a liberal salary, and which will also permit the captain, if he so desires, to branch out in the minor league business. Details of the agreement will not be given out until the Chicago captain's contract expires next February. President Hart can now go ahead and engage a manager for the next season, and the man in view is Tom Burns, the ex- Colt, about whom there was so much talk luring the Philadelphia meeting of the lcasue.
