HANCOCK AND MEADE.
Statues In Their Honor Unveiled At Get
tysburH.

IybbuFBs
Gettysburg, Pa, June Gan immense
crowd Of veterans of the late war and
others gathered on the battlefield here
yesterday to witness the unyeiling of the
splendid equestrian statue erected by the
state of Pennsylvania in honor of the
memory of General George 8. Meade OF
Pennsylvania and Winfield s. Hancock,
two Pennsylvania soldiers, the record OF
whose gallant participation In the battle
of Gettysburg will forever live in Ameri-
can history.
The Hancock statue stands on hill
nearly opposite the national cemetery
gateway. The statue Is ten feet high and
stands on pedestal of blocks Of granite,
the whole seventeen feet long. ten feet
wide and twelve feet high. The horse
and rider face the southwest, and General
Hancock appears to be directing the
movement Of the troops In that line.
The statue Of General Meade stands on
an elevation west of his headquarters and
near tho ''bloody angle" 1t is almost IF
teen feet long, eight feet wide and ten
feet high. Both statues are OF the best
quality of bronze and are Of heroic size.

Protest.
Paris, June 5.-The committee Of the
Chamber Of Deputies has unanimously
approved the bill making Madagascar
French colony.
Previous to 50 doing the committee VAS
addressed by NJ. Hanotaux, the minister
for foreign affairs, who stated that the
United States government, in dispatch,
had insisted upon the necessity Of a
categorical declaration regarding the an
nexa'tion.
NJ. Hanotaux added that the govern
ment Of Great Britain had urged that
the treaties between Madagascar and
foreign powers existed until the annexa-
ton Of the island was proclaimed by
France. Continuing, the minister said
the French government, therefore, was
obligated to ask the Chamber to approve
the annexation of the island of Madages-
car to France in order to clear up the
situation. The attitude of the govern
ment Of France, he continued, had al
ready had good result, as it had re-
ceived an entirely favorable reply from
the United Stntes in which the very i'm
portant fact that the government of the
United States recognized that the former
treaties between Madagascar and foreign
powers were annulled If that island was
converted into French colony.

Alleged Falth Cures.

New York, June 6.-There are many
cases on record Of remarkable cures made
through the instrumentality OF the Fran
clscan Monastery, effected by faith in tn"
relic of st. Anthony Of Padua. OF ali
these cases none Is more noteworthy Than
that Of Terrence Forest, a laundryman.
He was afflicted with dropsy and his case
was pronounced hopeless by the attending
physician. Forest sent for one OF the Fran
clscan fathers. Father McCabe responded
and found the man IN a dying condition.
He administered the last sacrament. lie
then betllought himself of the relic OF ST.
Anthony. The dying man prayed FER
vently and had faith in the relic. He raj
lied Immediately, got out of bed and went
to work the next morning. The Francis
can fathers said to-day that the relic was
a chip of the bone of st. Anthony, who
has been dead 700 years. They attribute
the cure to faith entirely.

It Was Entered and Robbed Early satur-

Cripple Greek, Colo, June G.-An at
tempt was made this morning to rob the
Cripple Creek postoffice which was
partial success. The men were caught
in the act by Frank Braceland. general
delivery clerk, who sleeps In the build
ing and was just coming In to retire.
There were two masked men who had
effected an entrance into the office. The
clerk on entering was covered with n re-
volver and the men backed out and
made their escape. An examination
showed that they had forced open one
of the delivery windows and had gained
entrance in that way. They had forced
open the box containing the registered
mail and had torn open two Of the regis
tered letters when they were interrupt
ed by the arrival of Braceland. The
money drawer was also broken into and
some 5000 or 500 is missing. Two men
have been arrested by the police. Their
names are "Bob" Taylor and George w.
Whitney. Whitney claims to have ar
rived from Colorado Springs to-day.

Financler says this week regarding the
bank statementts:
The loss in cash can be accounted Tor
in figuring the net gold exports and the
bank payments into the treasury, but on
the other hand the receipts have averaged
S3OOO,O 900 weekly from the interior, ana
treasury disbursements have also been
heavy. The statements for several weeks
mast have shown that funds were accum-
ulating in New York, and this is, there
fore, to be regarded as favorable The
further payment of government deposits
into the treasury will exert strengthen
ing influence, although the bank clear
ings over the country show the money Is
not in active demand to the extent OF
stiffening rates, and in certain sections
the expansion of loans was a bright spot
in the otherwise dull and frutles period.
The loans of the New York banks have
increased $31. 100000 in the four months
ending today, and the excess reserve has
fallen S22,OOO,OOO in round numbers, but
as the bond operation figures largely in
this change 1t does not possess the I'M
portance It would otherwise.
