URGES MONEY LAWS

Secretary Cortelyou MakesReport to Congress

FAVORS ELASTIC CURRENCY

Recommend Plan That Will BeAutomatic in Its Operation to Pre-vent Financial Panics In the Futurc Simplicity anti PromptnessTwo Thing Xecdcd He Declares

Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyouyesterday submitted his annual report toCongress The dwells somewhaton tho recent in the moneymarket points out some defects in thecurrency system and recommends thatthe system be Improved He says in part

When the story of the recent commer-cial and industrial disturbance hns boonfully told I am confident that many mis-apprehensions will be cleared away andthat the Interdependence of all sectionsof the country will be moro fully

It Is said that many of our peoplehoarded money Tills is undoubtedly

true but so have many of the bankshear little however of the untold

numbers of patriotic citizens whothat the banking situation throughout

the country was essentially sound didnot allow themselves to be Influencedby the excitement of the moment but co-operated with national savingsbanks trust companies lastutlons to support credit and restore con

Wizen HIM HniulN Are TiedThe Secretary of the Treasury Is given

wide discretion In many matters whereinho is rarely called upon to exercise itand little if any in others where it isneeded dally particularly as to certainof those having to do with tHe vitallyImportant subject of our currency Intimes of emergency his hands are vir-tually tied If in such periods of stressin an effort to avert calamity and servethe Interests of all the people isobliged to resort to unusual measurescriticism is unfortunately in many instances directed not to the inadequacyof the system but solely to the effort togive relief even though it be successfulin accomplishing that purpose It shouldnot be forgotten that he has towith the practical rather than theoretlcal side of the currency question

Responsibility on HimThe failure of the of the

various suggested reform to cooperate or to agree upon apractical measure would hardly appearto be a sufficient reason for holding htmresponsible for their Indecision and inac-tion The laws under which h administore his office should be made tothe dully needs of the people arid

sufficiently onerous as they arenot be made store burdensome by

restrictions which leave him with theresponsibility but with no adequatemoans at his disposal to meet it

Stem Needs ImprovementWhat has happened not only this yeas

but many times before should serve asan admonition to enact wise laws for theprevention In the future of disasters duein part at least to the imperfect or-ganlzatfon of our monetary systemAdmittedly it has been of groat serviceto our people but with changing condi-tions there has become more apparenteach year the need for improvement f asubstantial and permanent character Ifno action is thought advisable at thistime fully to meet this need I deem itimportant that something be done asspeedily as may be consistent withthorough consideration to provide undergovernment guaranty a greater elasticityto the currency something which shallbe in its operation and which

equalize rates of interestnot only In different sections of the country but at different periods of the year

Simplicity cf PlanProvision should be made either for

such elasticity without the necessity ofintervention on the part of the Secretaryof the Treasury or he should be grantedthe authority to supply it by properlysafeguarded measures I believe thaisimplicity of plan and promptness of e

are what the people need and willdemand What particular this proposed legislation should must beleft to the action of the Congress Ihave no pride of opinion as to themethod but I have the deepest concernthat the result shall be adequately

The only specific recommendationmake at present is that it be

given prompt attention anti that it benot laid aside until some definite meansof relief shall have been enacted Into law

Operations of the TreasuryThe most noticeable transactions of

the Treasury during the past fiscal yearhave been the dealings with depositarybanks and the manner of disposing ofaccumulating revenues For thequarter the excess of ordinaryover time deposit of lawfulmoney excess national bank notesredeemed together with the proceeds ofthe Panama Canal bond sale amountedto 40t which was restored to thchannels of trade by direct deposits innational banks aggregating 493G7MMincreasing the balance therein toOSS47542 by October 1 For the secondquarter the net excess from the first twosources previously named was 2ft23SvS9

It might be regarded as worth while toconsider the effect of amending the lawsso that the country might be divided intogeographical or commercial sections with

for the retention within eachsection of a larger proportion of the bankreserves required to be held against

in the national banks of suchThe result of this would be taking

present conditions that the banks In thethree central reserve cities would lose aconsiderable amount and this amountwould be transferred to banks In the re-serve citiea located In the different sec-tions and would necessarily be held bythem as cash This addition to the avail-able and actual Oasis in banks outside ofthe central reserve cities would

an element of strength which intimes of stress might aid materially indiminishing the violence of flanclal dis-turbances Such a provision of law asthis would not affect In any way the

by national banks of their unemployed capital outside of their reserves wherever they could best use it

Depositing Customs ReceiptIn pusuance of the authority containedthe act of Congress approved March

creasing rate of interest charged for calmoney time money and discounts ofcommercial bills indicated a progressivediminution in the amount of availablecash Aeordingiy it was decided on Au-gust 23 1097 to make each week substan-tial deposits in the different sections ofthe country with the particular objectof facilitating the fall movement of thecrops

DEPARTURE OF THE FLEETB-

Y FREDERIC J HASKINa

e

I

The attention of the entire naval worldIs attracted to Hampton Roads at thistime on account of its being the rendezvous of the fleet of battle ships which willbe sent to the Pacific Coast The

Issued the orders for the sailing ofthis fleet on August 23 and since thencoal mines railways provision dealersand manufacturers of heavy ordnance andammunition have known the busiest season they have had since the SpanishAmerican war Altogether thirtyfive

will go to San Francisco and whenall have been assembled In waters offthe coast of California Fighting BobEvans will have under his command thelargest most Invincible the most

equipped fleet that lees ever mobilizedin one place since the history of theworld began

The aggregate displacement of thesailing is nearly 4MIM tons and

the aggregate power is Kl guns of tourinch caliber and over The four divisionsof this fleet will carry 5St offlcers and

enlisted men as fine an array ofjackies as any navy has ever known andan earnest and eager set for as soonas the news of the cruise was noisedabroad enlistments increased rapidlythroughout the navy end desertions bcame practically unknown

The modern wife who puzzles for daysover the packing of Her husbands gripsand lunch basket when he is off for aweeks hunting trip can never begin toapreclate the enormity of Colombiatask In fitting out her lliM sons for aaouting of 111 days m which time they arenot expected to set foot on land at altBeside all the stores that each ship cancurry when her capacity Is taxed to itsfullest there will be two that carrysupplies alone the Glacier and Culgoeand they will many novel foodstuffs that have never yet been carried byany navy of the world The Met of sopplies shows more than MM separateItems Science has been at work formonths devising means of economizingspace and in decreasing the weight offoodstuffs and the present voyage winprove Just how soceaseful some of theexperiments have been The Panthergoes aa a supply carrying amongother things a complete foundry for

castings and other eoppersmfth workthat the vessels theMselves are notequipped to do

The item ofOn October contracts wire let

for 1I3MI tons to be delivered at the sixseaport towns where the fleet will stopTrinidad Rio Janeiro Puata Arenas Callao Magdalene Bay San FranciscoIt Is mined In West Virginia solved byraft to four tidewater rides of the Atlastic and from there te bandied by JiveAmerican companies to thirty foreignsteamers to the named where It topiled on the piers ready for the battle-ships Fifteen of these steamers go aHthe way to San Francisco with their car-goes The cost of the coal will be sheet

1 a ton and the cost of transportationwfll come to over 35000

EIght coWers win accompany the MeetThe Marcellus Hannibal LeoaMas and

the Sterling will accompanythe fleet to Trinidad and then return tormore tool Others will go as tar as Rioand return to join the fleet again at Afag-

daiena Bay and all that have free spacetween decks will carry general supplies

for the Mare Island Navy Yard TheConnecticut will carry 15 tons of

made of stack coal sad pitch tolast them as a suitable fuel for nee m thenaY The cost of coaling exclusive ofthe amount of coal carried by the shipsfront Norfolk to Trinidad will be U2t2Ma sum score than equal to the bonded

the State of Idaho or the State ofWashington

As to provtsfcme Columbia must packenough In the giant hampers to feed hersons ice the long IIS days sail haveenough extra goodies for Christmas NewYears and Washingtons birthday din-

ners and the list shows site has ROt beenniggardly in her selection Five millionpounds of provisions win be carried on-board the sixteen battle ships and thesupply ships the supplies from the at-tending vesete being transferred to thebattle ships when they stop at the portsfor coal There will be ten or fifteenthousand pounds of fresh meat In The

of each ship and for thetime there will be a widely varied bill offare where the meats are concernedWhere formerly beef sutton and fowlwere the standard and only fresh meatsupplies on this voyage the men will havefancy meats such as loin frankfurtersbolognas head cheese c

There will be a variety of foodstuffsIncluding tons of cereals salt meats driedfruits and canned goods and 39MIpounds of flour for making fresh breadin lieu of long anathematized hardtackThere will be tons of dessicted foodstuffsthat have already been tested and foundgood and the more recent additionsdried eggs and dehydrated vegetablesThere wilt be SQM pounds of dried eggsan equivalent of 3606 dozen frosts eggsand when the Christmas baking is onand the 90600 dozen fresh eggs also

are not available the mixer of cakeswill find that the dried productmixed with water will froth as easilyas the fresh There will be 2SMO poundsof dehydrated vegetables and this is thefirst time In the history of the worldthat the virtues of this new discoverywill be demonstrated by a body of nghting men for the discovery is only threeor four months old

Tests have proved that threeeighthsof a pound of dehydrated vegetablesvegetables from which the water hasbeen dried without injury to the nutri-ment or taste of the vegetable Is equalto ten pounds of fresh vegetables Mem-bers of the Navy Department at Wash-ington who had the least doubts on thesubject were given parcels of the foodto test and more than one chief of borenu or other official dinedoff dehydrated spinach cranberries orcarrots and felt rather envious of JackTar and his coming dinners

Potatoes usually taken In the shapein which they come from the fleW bocause they keep well have com in fora share of attention on this voyage be-cause they take up much space A

and a halt pounds will be requiredfor the voyage The vessels will take allthe fresh ones they can and will getothers at South American ports Onehundred thousand pounds of tinned po-tatoes will be taken another innovation-in provisioning the navy As potatoeswere the last of the vegetables to betinned it is interesting to note that theyhave stood the test successfully TheAssistant Secretary of the Navy dined-a few days ago on a can of potatoesthat had been tinned for three years inorder that he might see to his own

just how successful the lastventure had been

New methods of cammunScaUon betwoen the alps will be installed and newmethods of controlling the fire from theguns So new Is this system of Are con-

to remark the now came to MenThat a good Mea a good Idea I am

very glad to her It Indeed for are Is adangerous thing aboard a ship

Colorado was tost in this experimentWireless has been a part of abuttle ships equipment for so many yearsnow that It teqoite an old story but thefleet decided it must leave wlrelese tele-phony too so the post few weeks havewitnessed a busy scene in HamptonRoads and in New York aad Brooklynharbors where experts have bees busyputting in the appliances The

the first to have the telephones

Now officers board any ship of thisAtlantic fleet stay converse with any oneon board or with persons aboard anyother vessel within a range of eightraites The system installed is that in-

vented by Peulsen a Dane The tele-phone can be cut out seed the systemworked with a Morse key te wirelesstelegraphy if desired When I was intile wireless telegraph station recently atPortsmouth I noticed that the operatorsmiled as he waited for the repty to amessage The tickticking of the Instru-ment amused him What Is kr I salted

The ships out there are trying their newtelephones and I can get their mes-sages he replied

Despite the enormous staoent of workaad of money necessary to At oat thisAtlantic fleet It was done with a degree

It Is so great a contrast be-tween that which the Continental Con-gress fitted out on December 22 17J5 thatit seems hardly credible that so greatchanges should have taken place in onenation In one hundred MId thirtytwoyears In that year at the suggestion ofRhode Island Congres decided that a narywas needed to maintain the rights of theseveral sovereign States and ordered thir-teen ships built each to cost ttJMt23Among ties stores they carried were 75Wpieces of canvas for soils and the canvaswas hard to get when suspicions Englandwas watching The vcoseto were parchased and remodeled and guns werebought between November 2 and Decem-ber 2-2Pennsylvuria loaned 480 stands of armsand gave four of gunpowder Onemusing Item of the Jive long pages of

that the eonantttee m dsailors anpnBes wne canvas for pud

ding one eU for every sixteen

In striking contrast too is this float tothe one that ar in Hampton Roads onthe morning of March S UC It wasthen that the first ironclad in th hIstorT of the worN steamed Into the Roads

the wooden flotilla there ToeMerrhnac with her crud armor of rail-road iron revolutionised the navy of theworld and the Atlantic fleet steaming outthroogh the same channel next wick istile great realization of that nuaresancy in
