GALL MONEY RATES STIFFEN.
DEMAND FROM BOSTON EXPECTED BY BANKS

A DEMAND FROM BOSTON EXPECTED BY BANKS
IN THIS CITY.
The most important effect yet caused in New-Yorll
by the suspension of the Maverick National Bank OF
Boston was the decided stnening in callmoney rates
yesterday. There heavy shipments of money o
Boston, but the New York banks expecting demand
from that city for part of the funds deposit here.
In order to prepare for the demand there liberal
calling in of loans which led to advance in rates TO
ga 10 per cent, with exceptions high 10 per cent.
Bankers do not expect that these figures will be main
tanned, especially as large of foreign gold are
about due. The European steamers which arrived
over the election holiday brought 81 1852 90O and there
is known TO be in transit for this port about 81 o00
600.
There uneasiness felt here respecting the re-
ported upon the Five Cents Savings Bank of Bos-
ton. The institution is strong and its conservatism is
proverbdl. Houses with Boston connections had re-
assuring teegaphc advces TO the situation in that
city. Bankers concode however. tnat regards the
Maverick National Bank much depends upon the way
in which the assets are handled. 1t is believed that
there are many securities behind the TO President

Banking Department has at times earned a deserved
reputation for the skill with which its agents have ex

unproiaisnc when the receivcrshp began. 1t is be-
leved by some bankers that the Mavericks position
can be materially improved If there shall be con

stern resistance any policy of nasty liquidation that
would smack of a vulturo feast.

The method of getting around in the
city Of Venice is through the use of
small boats called gondolas, and all
painted black, the Sombre color being
maintained through some superstition
that dates back several hundred years.
These little boats are Skillfully ma
nOeuvered among the many islands

acting the various interests of COM
merce and carrying the people to the
market, church or opera. Compare
such means of transportation with
those afforded in the United States at
present, particularly since electric
powers have been developed, and you
no doubt feel that the days should be
long to accomplish much. Wonderful

IN THE SENATE.

After the joint session the senate re-
sumed business at lilo and first heard
a resolution from Senator Morse fixing
the hour for assem- bling in the afternoon
at o'clock. Mr.. Morse argued that
this was necessary in order to get
through with the work, but the resolu-
ton went over under notice of debate.
Of the dozen bills introduced, those

The consideration of local bills re-
ported back from the special legislation

p. m. and some were passed.

on the claims of Platt B. Walker and h

Senator Eaton introduced bill pro-
posing an amendment to the constitu-
ton making it unlawful for the legisla-
ture to pass special bills except in GER

consent. Among them was one from
Senasor Morse making it incumbent
upon the county surveyors of Hennepin

Independent Railroad Company.
St. Peter Tribune.

V. ID. Simar, of Chicago, representa-
tive of construction company, was
here yesterday in the interest of an
independent line from Mankato to
Minneapolis. He met with our city
council yesterday morning, stated his
position and left the matter with 1T as
to financial encouragement for build
ing through st. Peter. As yet there is
no railroad corporation behind or
backing the scheme, and Mr.. ). was
here only to get some idea of what our
people would do to secure such an en-
terprise. After consulting upon the
matter, it was decided by the council
to send a letter to Senator c. z.
Davis, requesting him to prepare and
present bill asking the Legislature
to pass law authorizing st. Peter to
issue bonds for an amount not to eX-
coed nine thousand dollars for depot
grounds and right of way. What the
outcome of the project may be no one
can tell, but there is one thing GER
tain, our people seem very anxious for
the new road, and while there is no
certainty, there is a possibility that
the contemplated road may be built,
but by what corporation is not yet
known. Councilman Simmer, of Hen

No Business of Importance Transacted

ST. PAUL, March 1S.-Tuesday morn
ing's session of the senate and house was
principally taken up by addresses by
Moses P. Handy, promoter general, and
Hon. Ben Butterworth, secretary of the
Worlds Columbian exposition. The
two houses met in joint session in tine
house chamber and an hour was spent
in listening to the distinguished visitors.
Mr.. Butterworth is a powerful, log
ical and pleasant speaker and held the
closest attention of the entire house, and
all were well pleased with his remarks.
The joint assembly rose at 11:15 and
the house took recess for ten minutes.
The visitors called upon the governor
at p. N. and took in the city after
wards.
When the house was called to order
again the Minneapolis charter was read
third time and passed, after which a
recess till 3 o'clock was taken.
Afternoon Session.
The gavel fell at exactly D. m. in
the house. A letter was received through
the governor from William D. Window
acknowledging receipt of the resolutions
of coincidence passed by the house upon
the death of Secretary Window.
The house took up the usual order of
business and consumed some time with
the reports of standing committees.
Several measures of the more radical
nature were indefinitely postponed, and
will be heard of no more during this
session. The members seem to be get
ting more and interested in their local
bills and worldly affairs, and less and
less interested In mere visionary theo-
ries. One after another of the bills re-
sulting from campaign promises and
hobbies go down without a protest.
Twenty bills were introduced, the most
important being one creating board Of
education in each county, composed of
the board of county commissioners, the
Judge of probate and one teacher, for
the purpose of prescribing school text
books for use in their respective conn
ties. The house then adjourned.

Electricity and Health.

A favorite illustration to make
vivid the comparison between our
days and our own, used
to be the wonderful development
caused by the use of steam power But
that has been cast in the shade by the
applications of electricity during only
the past ten years. The uses to which
it has been put remind us most forcI-
bly, that truth is stranger than fiction.
Still. though the electric spark has
been caught and harnessed for the
worlds daily work. what it really is
remains as much a mystery as ever.
Some declare it to be the au-pervad-
ing principle in nature, without which
any life or motion is impossible, the
only tangible and visible ultimate
cause and moving. force of the whole
universe. If this be true land none
can say it is not then the theory is
probable that the positiOnof the body
during sleep if due north and south,
is favorable to the great electrical
currents of the earth eXertlng an I'M
mense beneficial effect on the health.
The business man of to-day generally
takes the night for journey. and
such will find that the great north
and south line 1.-THE Burlington, will
afford, in its elegant and luxurious
sleepers, a most refreshing nights rest,
