Abstract

The Week

The article presents information related to several socio-political issues. In the U.S. Senate on Monday, James Biddle Eustis of Louisiana, offered a resolution directing the Finance Committee to inquire concerning the treatment of silver at the New Orleans Sub-Treasury. Eustis said that the cashier of a national bank at New Orleans had written him stating that shipments of silver dollars had been made by banks in the interior to their correspondents in New Orleans, but the Sub-Treasurer at New Orleans had refused to receive the silver dollars on deposit, and that that refusal had been approved by the Treasurer of the U.S. A case is under argument in New Orleans at this moment which throws some light on the Pan-Electric movement. Bell Telephone Co. is there asking for an injunction to restrain National Telephone Co. from using its telephones.
