acter, showing as it did an unexpected
increase in loans after several weeks
steady decrease in this item. On Jan.
2, the loans Of the New York banks
were S491 1916, 800, which represented a.
gain of about $49,OOO,0OO from the low
point recorded Nov. Z. The loan total
according to the current statement is
$49T ,513,60O. The gain for the week
therefore seems all the more surprising.
The only reason for the gain seems to
be the employment Of the large volume
OF money being used in she reorganiz-
alton and transfers OF 8eyeral oe--4r-
northwestern and Pacifiss roads Thasa
operations call for great sums of money
ana New York offered the most advant-
aeeous market in this connection.
Inc other items in the statement
reveal the effect of the heavy loan ex-
pansion. The banks increased thair
deposits and decreased their cash hold
lhgs, making the total change in these
TWO items Of $8, $3.50, 600, which corre-
sponds closely with the loan expansion
1t is noticeable that the circulation of
the banks shrunk sharply, bringing the
III OUA1I1OI uOWIl TO $lO,1SI, ,UUU a,
decrease of nearly 100000 since Oc-
tooer. AS this circulation has been re-
tired largely within the past four
weeks, the decrease in cash holdings
may be due in part to the deposit of
legal tenders with the treasury to re-
tire the banknotes. The receipts of
currency for the past week have been
small, and the decrease in the avail
able cash held by the New York banks
makes the question of rates for money
an interesting one. It does not seem
probable that the current decrease will
nave anything like a permanent in
nuence on interest rates, the outcome
depending largely on the disposition Of
the funds now withdrawn The re-
serve of the banks is still s196, ,789. 500
and the excess reserve does not indicate
either pressing demand for money or
an incentive to higher rates.

Senate Bill Under Consideration by
the House Committee.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The oues-
ton of authorizing this government to
enter into an international bimetallic
conference was the subject of a dis
cusSiOn by the house committee on
coinage today. Several resolutions. in
cluding the one adopted by the senate.
are before the committee and Senator
Chandler and Representative New
lands, OF Nevada, made speeches. SEN
ator Chandler spoke briefly in support
OF the senate resolution Mr.. New
lands discouraged the plan for a con-
terence. He said the four internation-
al conferences already held had been
merely debating societies, and another
conference would have no greater re-
suits. The delegates to such confer
ences seldom were empowered to t,3in-
init their governments to any action,
and there never was any results. In
the past the United States had consult
ed only England, France and Ger
many, whose interests were to main
tain the gold standard, whereas the
debtor nations, Russia. Austria. Rra-
zH, Chill and others were interested
in bimetallism, although they had baen
draWn to the gold standard under the
influence of the creditor nations 0Eng-
land France and Germany. These
three creditor nations had a. monopolv
OF gold, and had no interest in equal
lzlng the prices Of gold and silver. The
COMMITTEES came to no conclusion on
the bill, and several members Of the
committee on banking, who are inter-
ested in the matter, gave notice thar
they wanted to speak at the next meet

RITUAL THROWN OUT.
1t Was Not Legally Adopted by
Pythian Supreme Lodge.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 6.-The
supreme tribunal, K of P, closed its
sitting this afternoon. The matter pre-
sented for adjudication was the case
of Philip Colgrove as supreme chan
cellor and James r. Carnahan as major
general of Uniform Rank K. of P.
The question involved was whether or
not the so-called new ritual of the
UNIFORM rank, as presented at the
Cleveland session of the supreme lodge
was legally adopted, and whether it
was the duty of the supreme keeper
of records and seals to publish this
so-called ritual for the use Of the
rank. 1t was decided that this ritual
was not adopted by the supreme lodge
in the manner prescribed by the fun
damental law of the order, and that
it was therefore not legally a ritual Of
the order, and that the supreme keeper
of records and seals was not authorized
to print and publish the same. There
were several other matters disposed of
at this sitting, but none of them was
of general interest to the order at
large. The decision of the supreme
tribunal is not subject to appeal, and
settles the question involved until the
defects referred to are remedied by the
legislative branch Of the order

UP as soon as possible after the Nicar-
aqua canal bill is dropped, as it will be
on Monday, and that if its considera-
tion should be concluded in time it will
be followed by the Hawaiian cable bill
and that in turn by the Pacific railroad
commission bill. None of these meas
ures, however, will be allowed to an
tagonize the appropriation bills. The
committee also decided against MAX
ing any opposition to the motion. OF
which Senator Sherman has given no
tice, for Monday next, to take up the
Anglo-American arbitration treaty in
executive session. 1t was definitely
stated in the committee that the Nicar-s
aqua canal bill would be abandoned
for the present session ON Monday, but
1t was not considered probable that the
bankruptcy bill could be gotten up on
that day, on account of others which
will press for consideration. Members
of the steering committee express the
opinion that very little legislation will
be accomplished before adjournment

gurated on March 4 the vote of South
Carolina would have to be counted next
week. He asserted that the opposition
TO counting the vote had behind it
scheme to reduce Southern representa-
ton In congress and in the electoral
college, and declared that if the Re-
publicans intended to make an attack
upon South Carolina's state constitu-
ton 1t must be done i'm some other
manner than by endeavoring to prevent
the counting Of her vote for Bryan.
Representative Murray, Of South

CHARLESTON. s. C., Feb 6.-The
steamer Fern, the first Of the blockade
meet reached here today from Hampton
ROADS Her passage was a rough one
haV1ng encountered a stiff gale last
night. During the gale H Lamoor, one

suddetl lurch of the ship. The flagship
New York, battleship Maine, cruiser
columbia and monitor Amphitrite.
which left Hampton Roads with the
Fern, are expected here on Tuesday.
The blockade fleet is expected to num-
Der about twenty vessels, and they will

been appointed, and navy officials, as
we'll as the leading officers of the block

grand ball and several receptions dur
ing the blockade maneuvers Secretary
Herbert and Col Farrow will be the
guests of the chamber of commerce,
which will give a dinner in their hon

ness said that he understood that one
of the closed refineries was now being
operated as a coffee mill. Eight re-
fineries were closed, he said, since the
formation Of the company and this
coffee concern is the only one of them
now in operation.
John Arbuckle again took the stand
and testified that he controlled at least
one-quarter of the coffee trade in the
United States. Mr.. Arbuckle said he
wanted to explain that the price of
coffee was very variable and gave it as
his candid opinion that it was the most
speculative business in the world.
Have you any agreement with the
other big firms to fix prices?"
NO, sir, we have no agreement, we
only fix our own prices"
This ended the work of the committee
for the day and an adjournment was
taken until 10 o'clock Monday morn

SCOVEL A SPY.
Heavy Price Put on His Head by
Gen. WeyIer.

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 6.-Sylvester Scovel
who it is stated has been arrested by the
Spanish authorities, was a former resident of
this city, and went to Cuba about a year and
half ago. He was one of Maceo's staff, and
was trusted by the latter to carry important
dispatches to Gomez. He has also acted as a
correspondent for several newspapers in the
United States. Two three times he boldly
left the Cuban army and entered Havana
and finally caused suspicion to be directed by
the Spaniards against him. Some months
ago, it is alleged, Gen. Weyler offered $40, 900
reward for the capture of Scovel. He is a
son of Rev. D. R. Scovel. president Of Woos-
ter (Ohio) university. He is we'll educated
and an all-round athlete. Scovel was man
ager of the Cleveland Athletic club when the
Cuban rebellion broke out. In spirit OF ad,
in October, 1895, he. left Cleveland for Cuba
He was the only New York newspaper cor

us it not true that 1000 men were
at one time discharged?"
1T is not true. We did not at any
time have that number employed"
In reply to another question he denied
that there were any sugar refineries
closed after the consolidation in 1891
Il think" he said, my brother was in
error when he said that some of the
refineries We're closed after the con-
sOlidation in 1891
The witness further testified that
prior to the consolidation, six factories
employing 5000 hands were closed
down. Mr.. Havemeyer then read a
long list Of figures showing the profit
per pound of refining sugar derived by
the company for a specified number Of
years.
John Jergen, who had been In the
employ Of the American Sugar company
in various capacities from 1876 to 1894
was next called. He said that in 1892
he was in the employ of the sugar COM
pany as dock foreman, and that at the
time of the formation of the sugar
trust in 1887, between 5000 and 5000
men were discharged. Asked as to the
number rendered idle by the closing
down Of the Brooklyn concern, he said
4,60O men were discharged. The wit

people of each country, that if they
could build a high tariff wall around
their own. domains, they could enrich
themselves at the expenses of their
neig1hbors. Speaking for the new
Canadian administration, he said it
