The Total Deposits at New York "a
Far s5,585.OOO

New York. Feb. 15.-Baring. Margoun
and Co. have deposited S350OOo gold in the
sub-treasury on the syndicate account.
The total since Feb. Il is f5.5e5.OOO. The
following banks have been named as de-
positories for gold under the bond deal:
The National city Bank, the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce, and
the First National Bank. Ir
is probable that the Chase National
will also be named.
Washington, Feb 15-Secretary Car
Isle has given orders TO the chief oe
the bureau of engraving and print
ing to proceed at once to brush up the
old plates and prepare new ones, for the
printing OF the per cent. bonds sold un-
der the contingent agreement with tha
Morgan-Belmont syndicate. The old plate
contains the text of the law under which
the per cent. bonds are issued The new
plate win contain the terms under which
the per cent. bond on SA per cent. in
terest. are issued, and this surface print
ing win be put on the face OF the per
cent. bonds run of from the old platess
requiring each bond to be run through tho
press twice. or more.
There will be no further financial Leg
isiation attempted by the House at this
session. The defeat OF two banking bills
and one bond bill I'm quick succession sat
isfed the democratic leaders that ma
iorlty Of the House cannot be brought
to the support of any measure.
There was some talk in the House to-
day that some measure OF financial re-
lief might be engrafted upon the gen.
eral deficiency appropriation bill when it
is taken up in the Senate, but II is not
definitely known If this attempt will be-
seriously made.
The members of the House are now
looking forward with impatience TO the
adjournment, and the committee on rules
is constantly imporiuned for special or
ders for certain important bills that have
not vet received consideration by the
House, but which IL rs believed can be-
rushed through the Senate II they can
reach that body during the last week
OF the session. one OF these Is the naval
reorganization bill and another Is the
Nicaragua canal bill. All talk of an extra
session has ended. and IL Is believed that
when congress adjourns on March next
Il will not be asked to convene again tin

RECONCILIATION OF SILVER.
Germany Urged 90 Can an Interna-
uonnI Conference.


Berlin Feb. l5The Reichstag to-day de-
bated the Interpolation OF the govern
ment by Count Won MIrbach, the agrarian
leader urging the government TO call
an international monetary conference
with a view to remonetizing silver. Count
Won Alrbach held that the time was op-
perfume for Germany to summon such
"a conference. The trade OF the world.
he said, was suffering from the dis0r-
dered state OF the currency OF the va
rious countries. and an international
agreement fixing the ratio Of the metals
was the sole solution OF the difficulty
Count Herbert bismarck said that
events had proved that blmetallic cur
rency was the best for the interests OF
national prosperity. The former none
tary conference. he said, had failed be-
cause the representatives OF the powers
had attended them without any fixed in
strlctiOns. If n new conference were ar
ranged Germany must come 10 an en-
tente with at least one other power re-
garding the basis OF the conference. OF
England. he said that bimetallsm had
made great progress there and had OBJ
tanned great popularity. His friend Mr..
Baifour. would without doubt be "a mem
ber of the next British ministry and would
help to.achieve victory for the English bl-
metAiic union.
Chancellor Won Hohenlohe intimated
that the government would be willing to
confer with the federal governments upon
the question Of entering into negota-
tions with the powers In regard to the
advisibility OF reconsidcring the monetary
system
Prince Hohenlohe prefaced his declar-
alton by saying: without prejudice to
the German currency system. II must be
admitted that, from the economic point
of view, the Increasing difference of
value between gold and silver threatens
"a permanently detrimental effect"
London, Feb. 15-The Standard viii
comment tomorrow at length upon
Prince Hohenlohe's statement and the fact
that Count Won Mirbach's proposal Is sup
ported by more than half the members
Of the Reichstag. "It Is certain" the
Standard will say. that the resolution
will be passed after the debate to-mor-
row. However. there Is little hope that
"A new conference viii have a better re-
suit than the one held In Brussels"

Who Is Really Responsible For the MUIR

Who Is Really Responsible For the MUIR
der of Patton?
That is an odd case which has really
been tried in Topeka. A man was shot
and killed, Thomas Patton by name.
During the trial the defending attorney
showed that the murder which was COM
mitted by the prisoner was planned by
third party, who had a sort of hypnotic
control over the criminal and actually
forced him TO do the deed.
Hypnotists say that they can put a
sensitive to sleep and impress him to do
"a or As hours thereafter an act which
he would never dream of doing in his
normal state. The victim can't help
himself. He has no personal motive, but
is driven by this mad and irresistible
impulse.
Who, then, is responsible for the muir
der of Patton-the man who did the
murder or the man who ~hypnotized him?

time ~hypnotism is not II nice thing TO

GUARANTEES TO SPARE.
Nicaragua Has Many Ways of Satisfying
the British Demand.

the British Demand.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The guarantee
of the payment by Nicaragua of the in
demnity required by Great Britain will
be made in the amplest manner posi-
BILE, so that there appears to be no fur
Their obstacle between the two countries
as to a final adjustment.
The guarantee will be in several
forms as follows:
First, the promise of the Nicaraguan
government, which, in view of the fact
that the government has never de-
faulted on its obligations, is of itself
regarded as a guarantee;
Second, that the Bank of Nicaragua,
a national institution with recognized
standing in London, will, if need be,
give the guarantee.
Third, the republic of Guatemala,
one of the richest of Central American
states, stands ready to deposit Gl5, 800
in a London bank if Nicaragua desires
the favor.
Fourth, the Nicaragua canal COM
pany whose word in London would be
acceptable in the highest financial cir
Giles, will give either a guarantee or the
cash if need be.
Besides tn ese guarantees, any N of
which is avaslable and is regarded as
ample, the Nicaraguan authorities are
said to have the actual funds immedi-
! ately available without calling for out
| side help. A guarantee by the United
States is not regarded as essential under
| the foregoing circumstances.
