MADISON, Wis, June 19.-The report
that all state institutions would be in
vestigated after the board of control

yestigation by the board the year round.

Financier says this week:
The enormous balances which the
New York banks have been accumulat-
ing for the past few months are shown
in the clearing house statement for
the week. Loans are now within 81
100000 of the 5000. 100000 mark and
deposits are S6tB, ,27S 900. which is one
third the total individual deposits re-
ported by the 3.G1O national banks of
the United States on October 9TH last
The rapid increases made by the banks
since May last will be understood bet
ter when II is stated that the gain in
deposits since that time has been $780,
100000. and in loans more than $S9,-
100000. Comparative figures show that
xjO,OO.OO of these increased deposits
and $4O.OOO.OOO of the loans have been
made by one bank. which holds at the
present time over $91 100000 of net de
posits. The statement OF the banks for
the week is favorable. Loans show II
continued increase. the expansion hav-
ing been distributed among larger
number of institutions than has been

AusrRlA.s CRISIS.

1t Nay Result In the separation of Austria
and Hungary.
London, Dec. 4.-International ques-
tions have been temporarily overshad-
owed by the gravity Of the situation
In Austria, where things are as gloomy
as imaginable. In addition to the i'm
minence Of a civil war. the next few
hours may possibly witness historic
revolution In the relations between
Austria and Hungary, which might
mean the reconstruction Of the map of
Europe. II is hardly an exaggeration
to say that the factions are drawing
up like cOntending armies. The Ger
mans have appealed to their compa-
triots on both sides of the frontier.
and are apparently prepared to run
all risks to keep the hated Czechs In

to abolish the dual empire and to
make 1t triple empire by placing Bo-
hemia on an equal footing with Aus
trla and Hungary. To grant these de-
mands would set Hungary on fire and
destroy the foundations of the present
imperial system. 1t looks as though
the employment of force is the only
solution Of the question, but against

Baron Banffy, the Hungarian premier,
will introduce on Monday bill where
by Hungary will act independently as
regards the duties to be levied, contin-
uance of commercial relations with
Austria and the charter OF the Austro-
Hungarian bank.
This compact between the two pOr-
tions of the dual state thus lapses, and,
though the status quo may be main
tained temporarily, Hungary will es-
tablish her claim to the right of indie
pendently disposing of these questions.
1t Is easy to see that victory will only
whet the Hungarian appetite and that
1t will be but short step to the dis
solution of Austria. which. In turn.
Will hurl Europe into Il furnace of ter

Apparently the only hope of escaIe
is that the personal ascendency of the
old Emperor will once again enable
him to solve an apparently impossible
situation. Failing in this. the Reichs-
rath will be dissolved and a reign of
absolution will begin in Austria, and
technically, Hungary will have re-
sumed her Independence. the first step

companies of marines, nunberin.

and a company Of naval artillery ar
rive at kiao-Chou bay. for which
point, as already cabled. they will soon
set sail. they will bring the total Ger
man force there up to 1866 men, the
largest body Germany has ever sent
beyond European waters. Ii is under
stood that the reserves had to be-
drawn upon.
The admiralty denies that other Eu.
ropean squadrons have entered the
harbor at Kiao-Chou to watch Ger
nany's proceedings. and it IL believed
that Admiral Won Didrich would pro
test vigorously against such an AT
tempt.
The Kolinsche Zeitung regards the,
expedition as having a two-fold aim.
hrst, to obtain missionary prepara.
tlon, and second. to obtain the con
cession of kiaO-Chou as payment for
past services rendered China by Ger
many In connection with the copclu
sion of peace with Japan.
There Is much INSTRUMENTATION
among the Germans that the mission-
ary Incident absolves the government
from the tedious. and. perhaps, abor
ive process of diplomatically claiming
coaling station, in the form of a de-
inand Tor Il treaty port or settlement
on perpetual lease. 1t is believed nm
necessary to take Great Britain into
account, as she is occupied elsewhere.
While Japan is not likely to resist the
coalition of Germany. Russia and
France.
This is the contention of the Ko-
linsche Zeitung. At the same time, it
says that Germany will not be led by
the allurements Of France or Russia
to deviate from policy of moderation
in China.
