McMiirran, of .this city, an intimate friend of Mr, Bullitt, and who was largely instrumental in inducing him to come to New York, spoke of . his friend last night. "I cannot imagine why he did it," said Mr. McMurran. "The only reason to be given is that the past three or four years of financial depression which he passed through. His home is In Duluth, "Minn. He was counsel for the Northern Pacific railway at St. Paul prior "to moving to JJUluth. ' i? lve or six years ago, I can't iust recall the exact time, thoughr I was at his wed ding, Mr. Bullitt married Miss Frances Western, of St. Paul. She is a most estimable woman, and their home life was the happiest. They have a sweet little girl about 2 years old. Mrs. Bul litt's mother and sister live with her In Duluth, Mr. guUUt was the nephew of John C. Bullitt, one of the most prominent citizens of Philadelphia, His father is Logan M; Buhitt, of Louis ville, Ky and he has a brother, Joshua F. Bullitt, Jr., to whom the letter was addressed. Josh.ua is also known as a junior, because he has an, uncle of the same name. . About a month "ago "Mr. Bullitt came to New York, largely because of my re peated urging. I knew that his talents would, never be recognized in Duluth aid coTvineed him that he would make bis mark here. He was arranging for offices; and only three days ago told me he was about to take out his license here. He was one of the most lovable men I ever knew, and his ability was akin to genius.' The dead man was about 36 years old. He was educated at Washington and Lee university, and afterward studied law at the University of Virginia. On completing his education he went to St. Paul, Minn., and engaged in the prac tice of his profesion. Some months ago he gave up his law practice and engaged in various gold mine speculations in Mexico which were' thought to be of a rather wild character. SOVEREIGN SUCCEEDED.

SHOULD BE ESTABSISHED NOW. .Vostmaster General Declares Their Establ Islifneiit Wonld Confer Great Boon to Citizens and Be .of Inesti mable Value to the Whole Country. Washington, Nov. 15. The first an nual' reports :of Postmaster Ge'neral J. A. Gary to the president was- made public last night. Jts feature Is the strong, advocacy of postal savings de positories. Ie says the time is ripe for their establishment, and that the adop tion of a welU organized system would confer a great boon upon a large num ber of people and ultimately be of ines timable benefit to the whole country. - The estimates of the revenues and ex penditures for the . fiscal year ending June 30, 1899, are: Total postal reve nue for 1897, $82,665,462.73; add 5 per cent, $4,133,273.13. Estimated revenue for 1898, $86,798,735.86; add 7 per cent, $6,075,911.51." Total estimated revenue for 1899, $92,874,647.37;- estimated ex penditures for 1899, $98,922,760; deficien cy for 1899, estimated, $6,048,112.63. Following Is anv abstract of the re port: ' Reiterating . the injustice inflicted 'otb upon the postal revenues and the coi;le by second class mail matter -arriage regulation, the enactment1 by cngiess of. some measure to remedy he wrong, similarly pointed out by ast postmasters general, is urged. As .0 this the postmaster general, says: 'If this were done there would be an nd to postal deficits; and the service ould be enlarged and popularized by i broad extension of free delivery wi'th ut Infringement uppn the general re--icurets of the government, and even tually result in the much desired re luction of letter postage to one cent per ounce." - . ' The experimental rural free delivery has been generally appreciated. Few expenditures have conferred greater POSTMASTER GENERAL GARY, benefits in proportion, and it has un questionably proved a potent factor in attaining what should be a chief aim of government, the granting of the best possible postal facilities to the farm ing class. Many millions of dollars are undoubt edly secreted by people who have little or no connaence m ordinary securities and monetary institutions organized by private citizens. It is dead capi- tal, but if its owners could be inspired with absolute confidence in the secur ity of-an investment it is altogether pro liable that the bulk of this fund would find Its way into the channels of trade and commerce. If the gov ernment undertook this task the ser vice would undoubtedly be gladly ac cepted by the people. .Their faith in the government is unbounded. - Their little savings, which separately could hardly be put out at interest. would amount in the aggregate to a sum that could be invested to their advantage. It would tend to cultivate thrift in a large class. The proposition is an accomplished fact in nearly every country in Europe, in the British, dependencies : of both hemispheres, and even in Hawaii. In Great .Britain 7,000,000 depositors have upward of $550,000,000 in savings accumu lated during 35 years, and in ten years fewer than 10,000 Hawaiian depositors saved nearly $1,000,000. France made a profit in 1895 of $170,000 in hadling 2.500,000 accounts, aggre gating $143,000,000, after paying & per cent interest. Great Britain earned a surplus of $83,000, after paying 2 per cent interest, on $480,000,000, made up of 6,500,000 accounts. The average coi- mission paid to postmasters is one cent per deposit. Any account may be set tled and withdrawn from any deposi tory in the country. lr i'c .c.tir .tuvpts. Philadelphia, Nov. 15. Rev. Dr. W. N.

IF MONEY AND Li BAN ING Mr. Horaoi White's Eecommenda- tions to Moro'ary Commission. CIL VES' "M ET A LLI0 GREENBACKS" Paicaworl! Declares the Silver Dollar Should Be Redeemable In Gold, and Thinks the Retirement of Letral .Teuder Notes Would Brlnic Sliver to Par. Washington, Nov. 15. Mr. Horace White, whose book upon "Money and Banking" has attracted so much at tention, has submitted some clear cut answers, to the interrogatories of the monetary commission regarding. Im provements In the currency system of the ; United States. Mr. White ') Is . an outspoken advocate of the retirement of the greenbacks and the adoption of .n elastic banking currency based upon business assets. He declares that the silver dollars should be redeemed in COld and that4n a financial sense there is no difference between " the severaf forms of government fiduciary circu lation of which silver dollars are part. "The latter," he declares, "are metallic greenbacks." He does not believe that 1 the amount of circulation presented for redemption would be any greater than : at present If silver were redeemable in gold. In answer to the questions re garding the maintenance of the gold standard Mr. White says: T would recommend the redemption, retirement and cancellation of all legal tender notes as a first step. Probably the silver certificates and silver dollars would theieatter remain at par with gold, like the outstanding thaiers of Germany, and would not be presented for redemption' in any -considerable amount, being needed, like the smaller silver coins, for circulation tfi retail trade. After the retirement of the legal tender notes we. should Jbe able to see better what to do next." . Mr. Whitp believes that in process of time it will not be possible to rely upon national bonds . as security for bank note issues, because of the extinction of the public ebt. In reply to the ques tion whether any safe-and practicable plan can be devised for -using otheri securities he says that he thinks not. He believes that 50 per cent of the paid up and unimpaired capital of the bank should be the limit of the note issues', and that a cash . reserve should be held for the ed'ernptibiv of notes. ' . Mr. White says further: "In general I.approve of the plan adopted by-Uhe American Bankers' association at Bal timore,"" in r October,: 1S94, , commonly called the 'Baltimore plan. All bank notes should be redeemable at the com mercial centers of the.eountry, and also at their own. counters. Perhaps an ex ception should be mad of the Pacific Coast, . on account of. distance. ' . v "In. times of. panic or. sudden strin gency 1 would allow an extra issue equal to-25 per cent of : the. bank's capi tal, conditioned ucon the oavment of a tax, at Vhe rate of 5 per cent per an num, to the government, as long. as, the excess of notes remains outstanding. 'I would allow any bank having a. paid up capital of . not' less than. $1,000, 000 to establish j branches in its own state," and any bank having, a capital of $5,000,000 or more to establish branch es in any part of the United States. I would, allow notes to be" issued only by the parent' bank, although they, might be issued to and paid out by the branch banks in the usual course of business:?
