THE MONETARY CONFERENCE. Greenbacks to V Retired National Banks to Purchase Bonds. Indianapolis, Jan. IS. The following statement waa prepared for the Associ ated Press by the Merchants' Association of New York: First The legal lender note commonly called the greenback, should be retired by the use of money tn the treasury and by the Issue of long-time law-interest bear ing bonds. Bullion heretofore held as a basis fur treasury note will by this re tirement become available as additional security for silver certihVates still out standing. Second National banks should be al lowed to purWuue these bonds and use them at par as the basis for circulating notes; no notes to be Issued for less de nomination than 110. The features of the present law relative to the tax on circu lation and the 5 percent redemption funds to remain unchanged exceiH that the tax be reduced to one-half of one per cent, hlch will be ample to provide for the expenses of rh office of controller of th currency. Third All national banks shall be re quired to redeem heir notes at their own counters, at the treasury of the United States or any sub-treasury in gokl coin, or all deposits for ttie 5 per cent redemp tion fund shall be In gold coin. Fourth-National banks shall be allow ed to establish branches In any part of the country. By means of these branches the surplus money now In money centers can be utilized for the moving of crops and the prosecution of general business. Tills sysum lhas been thoroughly tried for many years by the Canadian banks and In very small towns in the dominion by means of these branches tlhe same fi nancial advantages are enjoyed by the business men of the localities as the citl xens of the lanctwt cities. By this means also merchants and other borrowers In the Interior are able to discount their pa per at home Instead of being obliged, as in the United States, to send to money centers and sell through note brokers. This system of branch banks will In evitably cause specific reductions and tend to equallxatlivn of the sales of In terest throughout the country and thla Is the scientific, answer to th demands of the south and west for more currency. It will also furnish facilities for borrow ing money on mortgages or otherwise ami will bring the borrower uid lender together at the borrower's home.

THE SPANISH PRESe. Comments on Bending United States Ships to Havana. . New York. Jan. 36. A 'Madrid dispatch to fhe World says: The ortlclal Intimation of contemplated visit of American war vessels to Havana and the presence of the American squad ron In West Indian waters has cauxed a sensation and much displeasure at Mad rid, which the press of all shade of opin ion ectho today with much bitterness. El Imparcial call the conduct of Amertoan provocation without Justification and rec ommends Spaniards In Havana to be pru dent and self-possessed and to show In difference during the stay of the Amerloan vessels. Sagasta say the Spanish government attache no Importance to the movement of the American ship, as It Is perfectly aware that President MoKtnley harbor, no designs against the present cordial re lations between the two countries. It t easy to see, however, (he says, how poli ticians and military men apprehend any demonstration by the okl SpanWA party In Havana on the occasion of a vtstt by American vessels that -would find an echo In the patriotic feelings and hardly sup pressed irritation against the United State In Spain. SPAIN'S FLEET. Madrid. Jan. H Admiral Chacon, the admiral of the fleet, ha arrived here and had a long conference with Admiral Ber mejo, the minister of marine.
