ALLOTMENTS ALL OUT.
Three Per Cent Certificates
Are Disposed (.Of.
MOST TO NATIONAL BANKS
Limitation of the One-Year Issue by the
Secretary of the Tryasury to Twenty-
Five Million Dollars Is Endorsed by
New York Bankers.
Washington, Dec. 2.—The final
closing of all allotments of the 3
per cent one-year bonds has been
definitely announced by Secretary
Cortelyou. He declares that no al-
lotments had been made or would bo
made after his announcement of last
Wednesday night that no further sub
scrlptions would ^e considered. The
point was not quite clear until his
statement Friday that -some few allot-
ments might be made from subscrip-
tions already in hand on Wednesday.
As the matter staids, practically all
the allotments are ro national banks
which have agreed to take out circula-
tion, and in the majority of cases have
indicated a willingness to surrender
the certificates before maturity upon
payment of Interest to the date of re-
demption.
information was still withheld at
the treasury department as to the
amount of the allotments made, but
such Information as is obtainable in-
dicated that the total will not materi-
ally exceed $25,000,000.
There appears to be no doubt that
probably three-fifths of the amount al-
lotted Is -subject to redemption with
accrued interest within three months
On the basis of an Issue of $25,000,-
000, this would amount to the re
demption of $15,000,000 with the inter
est to the amount of 1 1-2 per cent,
which would require $225,000 for the
Interest payments.
If $10,000,000 of be certificates ran
the full period of one year, the in
terest payments at 3 per cent would
consume $300,000. These two sums,
therefore, make a total of $525,000,

Benning, D. C., Dec. 2.—One of the

SHOOTING OF GOEBEL.
Governor Sank Slowly, Flrally Reclin-
ing Upon His Back.
Georgetown, Ky., Dec. 2.—The
feature of the fourth trial of Caleb
Powers in connection with the death
of former Governor Goebel Friday
was the testimony of E. H. Berrmann,
an eye-witness to tb-3 killing. Berr-
man said he was ent?ring the state
house when he saw Senator Goebel
and Colonel Jack Chlnn walking a
short distance in front of him. He
heard a shot which lie said appeared
to come from the window of the sec-
retary of state's office. Goebel, the
witness said, sank slowly to the ground
and finally reclined on his back.
The clothing worn by Goebel when
he was shot was brought Into court
for identification by Dr. Thomas R.
Welch.
The defense sought to mitigate the
effect of the testimony as to the place
from which the shot was fired by a
statement to the effect that while not
wishing to curtail the volume of tes-
timony to be introduced by the pros-
ecution, yet to save time to the court
the defense would * e willing to admit
that the fatal -shot was fired from the

of the Issue of certificates to the treas-
ury, outside of the trifling expense-*
of issue. This would be at the rate
of about two-thirds of 1 per cent
percaplta for the ; opulatlon of the
population of the United States.
The limitation of the Issue of one-
year certificates ta $25,000,000 or less
is regarded by bankers here as a
wise step In view "f its Influence in
preventing an unnecessary expansion
of bank note circulation.
The treasury working balance, ac-
cording to the terms of deposits which
have been officially announced, will
be Increased about $11,250,000 when
all new securities re delivered. This
represents 10 per nent of the amount
of the Panama bonis, and one-quarter
of the amount of he one-year certif-
icates. The balance Friday was re-
duced Friday to less than $5,500.0(H).
but this Ignores the large funds held
against outstanding checks and other
similar liabilities. Internal revenue?
receipts have fallen off this month
as compared with the same month
last year by about $4,0^5,00)0, ami
customs receipts by about $3,000,000.
A part of this decrease is due to the
difficulty of obtaining currency for
making payments which would other-
wise be made. Secretary Cortelyou
continues to listen attentively to rep-
resentations In regards to currency
measures, but does not commit him-
self beyond the general necessity for
Immediate legislation.
ALMOST DISAPPEARS.
Premium on Currency Nearly a Thing
of the Past.
New York, Dec. 2.—The premium
on currency which has been paid in
this city for the last few weeks has
almost disappeared. The rate of pre-
mium went as low as five-eighths of
1 per cent, but subsequently advanced
to seven-eighths of 1 per cent on a
demand for cash for Saturday's pay
rolls. One of the largest savings
banks in this city Friday notified de-
positors that it would allow withdraw-
als to be made by depositors who gave
notice among ago that they would de-
mand their cash at the expiration of
sixty days.
The importation of gild since the
currency stringency began reached
$89,900,000 Friday, .vhen the subtreas
ury received $1,500,000 in United
States gold coin from Mexico.
