NEW YORK, January a-The bank statement

through the sub.treasury, and, therefore. the
moderate increase in the surplus reserve was
not looked for. Money should however.

to-day responded to those conditions and
displayed even greater strength than yesterday.

pal feature. Houses which do q strictly in
vestment business say that they find great
difficulty supplying the demand for good
bonds and dividend paying stocks. Such a
scarcity of securities upon the street has not
been known in l5 years. and in consequence
every attempt to buy for either side of the
account advances prices.
The news from the railroad world to-day was
not of special importance but the Union

siderable comment. The general opinion Is,
however, that while the trouble may have some

Owing to the weather and the unusual eau

INVESTMENT In REAL ESTATE
Important Improvements on the Carpet ani
Many Others Projected.
THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY

1t was stated yesterday by responsible
gentleman that representatives of syndi-
cate of Eastern capitalists are in Pittsburg,
with a backing of 81, ,oOO. 900, to buy land
and build houses something after the plan
that has long been pursued in Philadelphia
and is being copied to some extent on STAN
ton avenue. The informant, real estate
broker on Fourth avenue. added: 81 am
not at liberty to give names. The parties
have not, so far as know, settled upon a
locality in which to operate, but are e1-
amining several East End sites. If they
succeed in securing suitable ground they
will begin building early in the spring."
The story, although not vouched for, is
highly probable, as rumors of the same pur-
days.

Increased Productive Capacity.

It Is among the probabilities If not certain
ties. that the productive capacity of Plttsburg
will be materially increased this year by the en-
largement of number of existing plants and
the erection of some new ones. Arrangements
for these improvements have been perfected.
There may be others of which no mention has
been made. A few timid people have ventured
the opinion that the withdrawal of natural gas
from the mills and factories will put Pittsburg
on her back, but results are against them. Gas
or no gas. her material growth is assured, as is
clearly shown by the contemplated enlarge
ments and additions referred to at the outset

all through. But great many Republic.
ans-fes shat matter the public generally
are pretty well satisfied with the char
acter and capacity of the new Bench; and
as extreme partisanship in judicial con-
tests may not be in favor by November, it
is not only no sure thing that Judge Ken
nedy would be defeated, but, on
the contrary, with four candidates
in the field for three positions, there would
not unlikely ensue such trading, log-roll-
ing and working by the several friends OF
each candidate for his own man alone, as
might make it very uncertain which the
adverse lightning would strike.
It is this complication which will proba-
bly, exert the most powerful pressure on
the committee against the nomination OF q
straight-out ticket and in favor Of accept
ing the Governors appointees. There
may also enter into the case some degree
of delicate consideration from the fact
that the present judges cannot well be ex-
pected to rufae their newly -put-on dignity
by getting down now into hot scramble
for delegates among the ward workers.
But the chief reason which will influence
against an attempt to beat Judge Ken
nedy, the Democrat, is apt to be serious
doubt as to whether under the circum-
stances it is likely he would be beaten

THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

The article by John Russell Young. in
another column, on the recent disorders in
China brings out two points in strong
light These facts, of course, furnish no
justification for the violent acts Of fgno-
rant Chinese mobs; but in view of the en-
ergetic steps taken by the Chinese Gov
eminent to suppress the attacks on for
eigners, they put the Chinese question in
light not wholly creditable to what we
modestly call civilization.
First, in forcing China to open her terri
tory to trade with the rest of the world,
civilization has assumed the responsibility
of debauching that nation with the opium
trade. The enormity and disgrace OF that
act have already been clearly recognized by
historians, but the fact is that its evil
results, and the not altogether unjust
resentment for it among intelligent China
men still remain. Is it strange that the
Chinese find it difficult to believe in the
reality of the Christian religion, when the
most prominent manifestations they have
experienced of the power of Christian ma
tions consist of forcing the importation
into China of an utterly destroying drug?
When this has been accompanied by our
meddling in such exclusively Oriental
questions as the Corean, to the advantage
of Russia and detriment of China, it may
be seen that Chinese mobs have atleast as
good an excuse for their brutal senmity as
American mobs.
The other point is that under the late
theory of the Department of State, that in
guaranteeing protection to persons and
property Government does not become
an insurer of foreigners, the liability of the
Chinese Government for any reparation
from these acts of the mob is escaped more
completely than the United States Gov
ernment evaded responsibility in the New
Orleans case. We may be able to form
juster estimate of the creditability of such
an evasion when it is turned against our
nation. 1t is hardly hazardous to predict
that the United States will not accept it,
if any American interests have suffered by
the acts of Chinese mobS.

A TRUE FISH STORY
Which Comes From Maine Where There Is

This is a fish story. Unlike good many
others it is true. Being true we give the

THE IMPERIAL VISIT.

The German Emperor landed in England
yesterday, not with any intention of cele-
brating our national birthday by the act,
but for the purpose of increasing the har-
mony between himself and his royal English
relatives. The big ships of war assembled to
do him honor, and the great cannon fired
thunderous salutes The reports that the
recently disciplined Prince of Wales would
not attend his nephew on landing, because
that outspoken young man had said some
unpleasant things on the subject of bac-
carat scandals, did not materialize, nor is it
recorded that the German potentate ad-
ministered any moral advice to his uncle
on the subject. All the outward signs
were of harmony and respect among the
royalties. After they have INDUCED in the
usual feasting and ceremonies they will
separate, and England will continue to gov
ern herself while the German war-lord will

novel, if not sensational aspects of his

THE POLITICIANS AND THE JUDGES.

To say that some of the Republican
workers are experiencing fearful strain
this week in relation to the judgeships of
Common Pleas No. would be to describe
the situation rather mildly. On the one
hand is the overture of Governor Pattison,
who consulted Republican sentiment as to
two of the appointments, not to talk of the
volunteer courtesy of the Democrats who
endorsed Porter and McClung, Republi-
cans, equally with Kennedy, Democrat.
Whether to accept the situation, as it thus
presents itself, or yield to the partisan in
clination to reach out for all that offers,
and make three nominations upon their
own account, is the problem now before
the Republican County Committee.
Recent signs indicate that the drift of
feeling among the managers is again re-
turning, toward the endorsement of the
Governors appointees. If there was any
certainty that contest could be eStab-
lished between Judge Kennedy and ex-
Judge Fetterman alone, there is little
room to doubt the Committee would see
