UNCLE SUM'S PUN TO

Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou
Issues His Circulars Callinic for Bids
for $50,000,000 (anal Bonds, Re
deemable After Ten Years, Yielding
Two Per Cent Interest.
Washington, D. C, (Special ). -Secretary
Cortelyou Sunday night made
the important anouncement that, as
a means of affording relief to the
financial situation, the Treasury
would issue $50,000,000 of Panama
bonds aud $100,000,000 certificates of
indebtedness, or so much thereof
us may be necessary. The certificates
will run for one year and will bear
'1 per cent, interest. The Secretary's
action In coming (o the relief of the
financial situation meets with Presi
dent Roosevelt's hearty approval, and
Ihe plan Is the outcome of the several
White House conferences which have
been held within the past few days,
when the financial situation was un
der consideration.
Secretary Cortelyou says that the
Panama bonds will aUord most, sub
stantial relief, as the law provides
that they may be used as a basin
for additional national bank circu
lation. He also states that the pro
ceeds from the sale of certificates
can be made directly available at
points where the need Is most urgent.
and especially for the movement of
the crops, which, he says. "If proper
ly accelerated, will give the -eatest
relief and result In the most immedi
ate financial returns."
The Secretary calls attention to
the attractiveness of the bonds and
certificates as absolutely safe Invest
ments. Secretary Cortelyou adds that these
relief measures will enable him to
meet public expenditures without
withdrawing lor that purpose any ap
preciable amount or the public mon
eys uow deoslted in nnlional banks
th roughout the country. Two treas
ury circulars, one inviting proposals
ror the Issue or bunds and the
other asking ror the certificates, will
be sent out under date of Monday.
In his letter to Secretary Cortelyou
approving the Treasury plans Presi
dent Roosevelt state that he has
been assured that the leaders in Con
gress have under consideration a cur
rency measure "which will meet In
permanent rashion the needs or the
situation, and which, I believe, will
be passed at and early date arter Con
gress convenes, two weeks hence."
The President also calls attention to

McCabe had not changed his po

-Gas Had Been Leaking All Night
Ignited When a Match Was Struck.
Pittsburg. Pa. (Special). About
LTi persons were Injured, two fatally,
and n dwelling house was torn to
plecoB, when an explosion of natural
gss occurred In a house located at
No. 103 Elm 8treet, this city. In
the fire which followed two firemen
were severely burned.
Fatally Injured Mr. Sarah Cross
man, blown through the roof: Jacob
Bergerman, blown through roof.
Seriously Injured Three members of
the Crnasman family; three members
of the Moldel family, which also oc
cupied the house; Father Bolner, a
guest of the Crossman tamlly. About
1 4 other persons In the neighborhood
reclved Injuries when the widows In
their homes were shattered by the
concussion and plaster tell upon
them.
Apparently gas had been leaking
In a kitchen stove all night. When
a match was struck In the lower por
tion or the house to light th,e stove,
there was a terrific explosion. The
house was torn to pieces. The roof
was blown high into the air and the
front and rear of the dwelling col
lapsed. Mrs. Crossman and Jacob
Bergerman. a bemrder, apporently re
ceived the full force of the explosion,
both being blown from their beds
through the roof. They were fatally
lnjured by the subsequent rail and
fire.
Other members of the Crossman
and Moidel families, both of which
occupied the house, were thrown
from bed by the concussion and se
verely Injured.
A remarkable feature of the explo
sion Is that Mr. Crossman. who
struck the match, escaped with se
vere, but not fatal, injurloe.
Occupants In adjoining houses
were Injured and for a time the en
tire neighborhood was panic-stricken.
The monetnry loss is about $5,000.

view of
fewer commercial failures In the
United States this week than for two
weeks past, reflecting the Improve
ment of conditions nk forecast in the
reports received. The failures of the
week numbered only 239, as against
273 last week, 252 the preceding week
and 172 the corresponding week of
last year. Another encouraging and
satisfactory feature of the failure
report Is that only 76 of this week's
failures Involved liabilities of $5,000
or more, as against 93 last week.
The financial storm which broke on
October, and which now seems weath
ered, as viewed by the returns for the
first week of November, showed lla
effects In the liabilities of commer
cial failures during the month.
They aggregated. $27,414,990, as
against $10,553,714 In October, 1906.
Continuing, Dnn's review will say:
"Scarcity of money, unseasonable
weather and the holiday combined
to make the volume of business smal
ler than usual the past week, but
the situation Is more encouraging be
cause of a general belief that the
financial storm has been weathered
remarkably well.

while Imports gained $165,061. .
