York Banks Are Solid.

An Investigation was made Of rumOr
that the York banks held state money,
which, if called for, it would seriously en-
barrass them to pay. 1t was learned that
none of the banking institutions there held
money belonging to the state, although
some had formerly held a deposit. One
bank of that city which had been desig-
mated as a state depository Immediately
upon the election of Meserve, sent in its
deposit OF money belonging to the state.
The conservative policy of local bankers
has materially strengthened the institutions
under their guidance, despite the past few
years of financial difficulties.

St Paul Gives Up the Project on 40
count Of Warm Weather.
V. j. Vothschild, secretary of the St.
Paul Winter Carnival Association, has
been authorized by the executive Commit
tee to announce that owing to the mild
weather the association has been forced to
abandon its plans for an ice palace this
season. He stated that all necessary funds
had been raised and elaborate plans had
been made, but it would tak5 thirty days
to complete the palace, while today about
the site on the island there is not
enough sound ice to bes IN work, and the
approaches to the island are covered with
water. The weather generally has been
too warm for a palace, and to hold car
nival IN February wodld be apt to catch
the same kind of westher then.

CAN SAIL FOR CUBA.
United States to Grant Clearance
Papers to a FiIibuster.


For the first time since the present strug-
gle in Cuba began this government has in
structed a customs official at Jacksonville,
Fla, to allow the Dauntless to clear for
Cuba loaded with munitions of war pre-
sumably for the insurgent army. The ves-
sci is well known alleged filibuster.
This concession, however, does not free
the vessel from the penalties for violation
of the law. The statutes presribe that the
owners, shippers and consignors of cargo
bound for a foreign port shall, in order to
secure clearance, state under oath the
port at which the cargo is to belanded, and
severe penalties are prescribed for violation
of this requirement, including confscation
of the vessel.
