VERY FAVORABLE SHOWING. MOVEMENT FROM THE INTERIOR REFLECTED I\ THE INCREASE IN DEPOSITS. A HEAVY EXPANSION IN MiANS. Total Twe»ty-Fiyi Millions Greater Than for the Same Bate of - l.n-t Year. NEW YORK. Jan. 2.— The Financier pays: The first bank statement of the m w year is of a very favorable char . act r. although'it covers but live busi ness days, and the increase probably r< ,-iiiv senis arrangements to meet the dividend disbursements which will be made this week, and which ag g; e^ate in New York, inclusive of gov ernment payments, nearly $100,000,000 for the month. The actual gain report ed hy the banks for the week was only $214,000, which is very much less than for any week since election. The Increase in deposits reflects, in part' the movement from the interior which tting In toward this section again, <1< ppite the bank failures in the Wes-t, l>ut the increase is also connected with dividend disbursements. The absorp tion of this money is plainly shown In the lean expansion, the total loan Item standing at $491,37r>,900, which is (25.795,000 higher than reported one year ago this week. The deposit expansion in the same time has been $39,171,000, ."nd the cash reserve is also $13,500,000 higher, so that the banks began the new year in much better shape than they did in 1896. The plethora of money has had the effect o-f lowering- money rates, and tho present quotations, of V 2 and 2 per >■■ n' on call money compare with a 4 a per feerit rate during January, 1896. Commercial paper quotations have dropped to 4 and 5 per cent as compared with 6 and 8 per cent for January, 1896. But the money market t.-ne year ag-o was In far different shape than at present, as trade balances since that time have resulted !n piling up a large credit balance in our favor, which has relieved the market from an ab- Bolute eolapse. SOI THEKA RANKS SOI ND. So Sajs Comptroller Eckels In n Signed Statement. ATLANTA, Jan. 2.— The Journal to day prints the following signed state ment from Comptroller of the Currency Ecfc< Is. "The bank failures which have oc curred have been entirely due to local conditions, and, in almost every in stance, to defects peculiar to the insti tutions affected. This is strikingly so In the case of the national bank at Roanoke, Va., and as much so In the failure of the bank in Texas. The same may be said of all the national banks failing since Nov. 1, and I im agine the same thing will hold good in the F>tate and private banking houses which have ceased to do business. "The banking institutions of the South made, with here and there an excep tion, a remarkably good showing dur ing the panic of 1893, and the financial distress) then was general, and acute. No such condition now exists nor will occur upon the one hand, while on tho other during the years since then, liquidation has gone on, bad paper has he, n weeded out, and the banks are stronger in cash means. There is no basis for any expectation that eith?r now or in the future tihe South oi any other section of the country will suffer from more than the ordinary i, umber of bank failures incident to the accumulation of slow assets and T»a<l methods of banking. I certainly do r.nt apprehend any difficulty beyond that fJue to the causes I have stated. "If the attention of the country could be directed towards attending to bust ness affairs in a business way, undis turbed by 'wars and rumors of wars' add premises of renewed and contin ued agitations, the country would en ter upon an era of prosperity, which In the largest measure would fall to tfee lot of the: people of the South." Van Ifortwlck Receiver.

No nui»ni©nt of assets am! liabilities was filed, but from the amount of the re ceiver's bond, Wbtct) was plawd at $100,000, and the general statements of the attorneys! the liabilities will probably exceed $10*1,(100, with assets about the same. Foiled to Open. OMAHA. Xeb.. Jan. 2.— The Omaha Sav ings bank failed to open its doors this morn ing and is in the hands at the ttate bank examiner. A meeting of the clearing house was held yesterday, a most unusual proceed ing on a holiday, and it Is presumed they took action which caused the savings bank to close. Ths total liabilities are (860,000, and assets exceed tWs amount by $200,000. Xotie.i* of Reduction. MILWAUKEE. W'is.. Jan. 2.— Notice has been given to the Hayview employes of the Illinois Steel company, those paid by the day, of a reduction in wages to take place on Feb. 1. This is the first cut that has brt-n made since September, 1593, when wages were reduced 10 per' cent. The reduction will only effect the day laborers, carpenters, btrck layers and general manual workmen. Honda Redeemed . WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.— Under the call of the secretary of the treasury, issued Nov. 20, 1896, for $9,712,000 Unked States 6 per cent bonds, issued in aid of the Pacific railroads and matured Jan. 1, 1897, the treasury has received, so far, $5,. r ,97,000, for which checks have been issued.

Prenident-eleet the (Jurat of II is Polltieal Mnn;iKi-r. CLEVELAND, 0., Jan. fc.—President i Elect McKinley's trip to Cleveland this ■ morning was a succession of ovations i i from hundreds of {Jeopif: fathered at I { e»"ery station. The party left Canton j its :i private car furnished by Presi dent J. W. Wardwell, of the Clere- 1 ; land. Canton & Southern railway. Supt j | H. A. Kennedy accompanied the party, i : Of the others with Maj. -mr! Mrs. Mc-«j j Kinley were Mrs. Sarah Duncan, of I ! Cleveland, Mrs. McKinley's sister; Miss , Duncan, Perry S. Heath, of the Chi- ! cage national headquarters, and R. D ! Kuhn, of Cleveland. At Bedford and i i New-burg and other stations, crowds I ! of workingmen cheered the prestdent | elect lustily. He returned the saluta- i tion by raising- his hat and bowing i from the oar window. When Maj. and Mrs. McKinley I ! stepped off the train, they were greet- | ed by Maj. Charles F. Dick, of Mr. j Hanna's office, who escorted them to I a carriage, when they were driven to the Perry-Payne building, in which is Mr. Hanna's office. When they arrived the chairman of the national commit- ' i tee was busy with several callers, | among them Congressman Hawley, <>f j Texas, and Gen. Osborae, Maj. Mr- j Klnley's cousin. The president-eloot | had not been expected by them so soon, i and the entire party hurried to the carriage to greet Mr. and Mrs. Me- ' Kinley. Mr. and Mrs. McKinley 'and Maj. Dick drove to Windermere, the re?i d>eirae of Mr. Hanna. in LakewoodJ ! While Mr. Hanna and Mr. Osborne I I after luncheon at tb>e club house' i ! joined them at the Windermere. lii I I the afternoon the president-elect spent | a considerable amount of time dictating to his stenographer.* Asked what his j immediate plans were, he merely said: j "I came up here to rest as much as | possible; It Is a good place for that." j The evening was very quietly spent j by Mr. and Mrs. McKinley. They re- I ceived no callers. Much remains to be done by the ; i president-elect between now and March I 4, and his coming to Cleveland Is due, j probably, to the fact that he has con- j stantly been interrupted by callers at i ] Canton. The location of Windermere I several miles west of the city, on the ! shore of the lake, and the barriers i which Mr. and Mrs. Hanna are able to ! throw around him, will give him prac- j I tically all the privacy he desires for i I work and consultation. It is expected that many men eminent in national affairs will be at Windermere during the next week. MMBBW IS SAFE. State of Pennsylvania AVIII Not At tack It* Charter. HARRISBURG. Pa..

CRUISERS Ofl GUARD VESUVIUS AND DO.FHH ADDED TO THE FLEET IX FLORIDA AVATEBS TO STOP FILIBUSTERING. FOrR SPEEDY >IE|N OF AVAR ARE now wrnanranrn ix this SEiRVICE. I NITED STATES TAKE NO CHANCES \OKlec-ti«if No PrreaoUon Imposed on Neutral Powers Xty the OMIk-i --lions of In !. i ituiioiinl Law. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.— The dyna mite cruiser Vesuvius and the dispatch boat Dolphin have been ordered to Florida waters to reinforce the already numerous fleet of government vessels I now engaged in the effort" to suppress the filibustering expeditions bound for Cuba. There are now two war j ships, the Newark and the Raleigh, j he-lping the revenue cutters in this service and it may be that the cutter fleet also will be reinforced if it is practicable to spare any more of the | few vessels still held on duty for the I usual revenue marine service on the Atlantic coast. This is somewhat > doubtful, for it is said that nearly all i o£ the cutters which are not absolutely required at the present moment to per form boarding duty, are already on j the Florida coast or on watch for ! filibusters elsewhere. This force anchored in one vicinity is taken to mean that the government is deter mined to leave no sound grounds for j complaint by the Spanish governments \ that it has failed to meet all of the lt-quirements of international law in preventing the departure' of hostile ex peditions from American shores to aid the Cubans, and to enable it to assert that it has observed "due vigilance" prescribed as a condition of avoiding pecuniary responsibilities for the dam age wrought by filibusters. The Dolphin is at the Washington navy yard and probably will sail as soon as she can get aboard the neces sary stores and ammunition. Her cap* tain, Commander Clover, was at the navy department today consulting with the officials respecting the programme for the movements of his ship. Though a dispatch vessel technically, the Do** l.hin would be a formidable craft to a filibuster, not so much on account of her speed, which is about fifteen knots, as from her machine guns, her main battery and active crew. She carries two forty-seven-millimeter Hotchkiss guns, several six-pounder guns of the same type and two four-inch rapid fire rifles. From his experience as chief of the hydrographic office, Com mander Clover is well fitted to navi gate his ship safely in the narrow channels and passes of the Florida coast. The Vesuvius should ti*. practically useful in patrol duty on Recount of her speed. Twenty-one knotsfcte h~er record on the trial and there is nothing afloat on the Atlantic coast in the shape of a merchant private-owned vessel that could escape her in a fair run, with the possible exception of the yacht Vamoose, and, it is said, would be a "toss-up" between them, with the odds in favor of the dynamite boat, pwing [ to her superior ability to endure ;i j long run. Tho Vesuvius draws only seven feet of water and therefore will be able to follow the small filibustering craft into the shallow waters in which hereto ; fore they have found a refuge from | the deep draft naval vessels and larger j revenue cutters. The Vesuviuscan go in I to commission about January 12, under i command of Lieutenant Commander ; Pillsbury, who has l>een detached from i the naval war college. The question was asked of the treas- I ury officials today what more in tho direction of restraining the departure of Vessels with arms for Cuba could be expected of a dozen warships than of one, as long as the Cuban-bound boats are permitted to clear regularly an:l according to law. No satisfactory an j swer could be returned, but it appeared that the officials are acting under the belief that the "clearance" scheme is really intended as a blind, and that the j purpose of the Cubans is to have one or more relief boats slip away while the authorities are looking after the j departure of the vessel for which clearance papers are sought. AGAIN LIBELED. Three Frlendft Once More Seized by. the Government. JACKSONVILLE. FUI, Jan. 2.— The withdrawal yesterday from the Three Friends of an representative of the United States revenue cutter Boutwell was frhly temporary and an other officer replaced him today. The Three Friends will be held until libel shall be served by the district attor ney. W. A. T=Hsfcee, owner of tha Dauntless, hs£ received a telegram from Miami confirming the report that the Dauntless- had taken on board the cargo and left by the Three Friends cl No Name key. The dispatch says the Dauntless will transfer the cargo to the Commodore or some other ves sel. It will then return to Jackson ville and load with a cargo of arms for Nuevitas, Cuba. • — — , — . . TO BE CALLED MACK. Committee Wfll Take Another Turn at the CiiHieron Resolution. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.— There is a movement on foot in the senate com mittee on foreign relations to have the consideration of the Cameron resolu tion postponed until the question can be reconsidered by the committee at its meeting on Wednesday next. When tie resolution was reported to the sen ate, it was agreed by the committee that it should be called up immediately after the holiday recess. The more ardent supporters." of the resolution had been anxious to have the question for immediate consideration, before ad- ! journir.g, and only had yielded when the more conservative members had j ; agreed to report the resolution with the '• j understanding that no effort would be ' made to call it up until after the re cess. The movement for the recession from I the agreement for immediate considera- I tlon is participated in by both the op | ponents of any recognition of Cuba ' ! under existing circumstances, and the I | more conservative friends of the Cuban ■ ! cause. The latter take the position that ! the present time is not opportune for i consideration of the subject, largely be- ' cause the question of executive prerog ative ha.s been raised, which, it is ' j claimed, would result in driving from ; | the support of the resolution many i senators who are usually friendly to ; I the cause of the insurgents. They ! | also find that it is doubtful whether a * j day could be secured for consideration ! in the house, if it should pass the sen-- : ate. They hold that the defeat of the resolution in the senate, or its failure j to pass both houses, after it is once takes up for consideration, would be | misunderstood, and would place this | country in a false light both in Spain i and Cuba. Hence they will go into the ! committee meeting, if they succeed in j having the subject postponed in the i senate, until the meeting is held with I a purpose to urge still further delay, j They will advocate postponement until the way seems clearer than at present for successful effort.

OLD FOGY EJIGbAfID FOREIGN POLICY CRITIC ISK-IJ BY LONDON PREiSS AS ttl T OF DATE. SERIOUS ERRORS MADE IN A SSI MING STANDS # \VITH \O OP TION B ETW RBfl W A.R AX D SURRENDER. RIGHTS OF LABOR AND PROPKRTY Involved in v Struggle Reliiu Waged in Wit leu Ag-nlnat an Auto cratic NeltleniHii. LONDON, Jan. 2.— Wales has become this week the scene of a most interest ing struggle of labor against the ut ! termost rights of property. Not de terred by, the victory of trade unionism j over the London & Northwestern rail i way, Lord "Penrhyn pettishly shut down his slate quarries rather than, as he says, "establish a precedent for out side interference with my private affairs." He first dismissed 71 men because i they formed a committee to secure bet i ter conditions of labor, whereupon | i 2,700 men left work. The board of ! trade, under the voluntary conciliation I act, offered friendly mediation. but | Lord Penrhyn declined angrily, and l closed the quarry, throwing 5,006 men ; out of work in the depth of winter. This , defiance of parliament probably will lead to an attempt, next session, to ! pass a law compelling employers to ac ; cept the mediation of the government, i The progress of public opinion on la ' bor questions Is shown by the fact ! i that Lord Penrhyn is almost without ! support in the press. The Chronicle I today opens a national fund for the I defense of the right to combine. Most of the newspapers in reviewing I the events of 1896 criticise the happy- ' j go-lucky optimism of Great Britian's j foreign policy as evidenced by the HtUe | effect it produced during the numerous ' j menacing storms which have marked i j the year. They cite that the Venezuela j trouble was quickly followed by ttw Transvaal dispute, and then %ame the i insult of Emperor William in his dis- : ] patch to President Kruger, and the is i olation of Great Britain in the Eastern question. The newspapers, therefore, insist that the foreign policy of Great j i Britain is behind the times and re i quires .it to take existing facts con siderably more into account, or it may expect indefinite repetitions of loss of prestige, brought about by taking up a stand whidh, later, it is compelled to abandon, owing to miscalculation of Great Rritain's means of asserting her resistance to the opposition of other powers. The St. James Gazette makes special reference to Venezuela, and says: "If it ia right now to arbitrate on the terms arranged by the United States, it was right to do so a year and a half ago, when Lord Salisbury i emphatically refused Secretary Olney's I demands." Continuing, the St. James Gazette e^ks why the Marquis of Salisbury j created "an impasse from which we | could not escape without war or sur render. We took surrender." CHOBE SURRENDER. In conclusion, the St. James Gazette | remarks: "With no aggressive or am- I biguous designs upon our part, we j have been within war measure distance ' t in a single year with Russia, Germany, | America and the Transvaal. With n j few additional warships and cruisers. I , some thousands more trained seamen I and stokers and an army capable of j sending three corps with artillery and | transport, say to Canada or Constan- I tlnople, we could face such a combi ] nation as that with better confidence." The Spectator, in an article on the position of the United States and Europe as effected by the Cuban ques tion, after remarking that the Wash j ington government has had an unpleas ! ant surprise in the attitude of the i European powers, proceeds to explain | tht; reasons for the European antagon ism to the United States. It points out that the great financiers of Paris, j who hold Spanish bonds are alarmed .at the possibility that Spain, after fighting to the bitter end, might be compelled to suspend payment and con sequently they are urging the French j government to intervene between Washington and Madrid. Emperor i William, it is also said, approves of I this, for, apart from his dreams of colonial expansion, which could best be gratified in Brazil, he is not fond of American diplomacy. The Italian gov ernment according to the Specator, will support Spain "owing to the Italians in the United States being treated as If they were negroes or Indians." The Spectator adds that the Austrian emperor will support Germany In main taining the independence of Spain for weighty family reasons, not wishing to see' the queen regent, who is an Aust rian archduchess, and her son driven out of Madrid by a popular revolt fol lowing the loss of Cuba.. The drei bund therefore, and Franco, the Specta tor says, are ready to counsel President Cleveland to be moderate and "avoid threats which Spain could not tolerate and which might lead to a widespread maritime war." The Spectator continues: "The Unit ed States oould conquer any American state and might defeat a single Euro pean power. But they cannot defeat all Europe combined, even if England, from reasons of kinship, remained neu iral. The fact is patent- to all that the United States will not be allowed to order Spain out of her colony without a remonstrance from continental Eu rope, w»hich might be followed by the action of the combined fleets of tho five powers and the landing of troops in Cuba and the French West In dies." The weirdness of the bog slide into the lakes of Killarney, which is the sensation of the week, is enhanced by a story that about a week previously, un canny noises were heard in the valley at night time, which the peasants of that vicinity describe as resembling the wailings of a banshee. These sounds, it appears, aroused a feeling ot terror and 1 numbers of the peasants consulted with their priests, who en deavored to reassure them. The sub sequent calamity, however, caused uni versal consternation among the peas- j ants, who are seemingly convinced i that there was some supernatural con nection between the two affairs. In th.c meanwhile a great mass of bog, covering 700 acres behind the portion i which has already slipped into the j lakes, has begun to slide and people are in dread of a still more terrible ' avalandhe. COUNTESS niRIED AUTB. Painful Sensation ('nosed by the i Affair at AVarsaw. LONDON, Jan. 2.— A special dispatch j from Warsaw says that a painful sen sation has been caused there by the alleged burying alive of a prominent society woman, the Countess .Helena ' Polocka. who died on December 25 and who- was interred on the following day. Persistent rumors were circulated that th« countess was not dead but merely in a state of catalepsy, and the family 1 , j in order to prove this statement base- j less, had the body exhumed yester- j day. when it was found that it did j not bear the appearance of a corpse, ! and that there was no sign of putrefac- j tion. The body was then removed to the family mansion, where it is l>eing watched. BISISKSS PARALYZED By <he Spread of the BuWonie Plague tit Horn buy. BOMBAY.
