TOPEKA, Kan, March 1s.-Bank Cons
missioner John ~. Breidenthsl has IS
sued a call for a statement of the con-
dition Of the 279 state and 100 private
banks in Kansas at the close of BUSH
ness on March 9. The call was accom-
panied by a letter calling attention to
the banking law enacted by the legis-
lature this winter. Many changes have
been made in the law and as q result
many bankers will be required to make
changes in their business Banks
whose capital has been impaired must
make the impairment good, either
by an assessment on their stock, or
by reducing their capital to the extent
Of the impairment. Section 81 Of the
new law provides that where q bank
owns real estate in excess Of so per
cent. of its capital, its holdings must
be reduced to so per cent of its capital
within one year. Section IL prohibits
investments ia the stock Of any cor
pOraEon and provides for the sale
of any goods or chattels that may
come into the banks possession within
six months. Section Is prohibits loans
in excess of 10 per cent of the banks
capital Commissioner Breidenthal
will require that excess loans Of long
standing, and where the security is
not such as can be readily converted
into cash, be reduced to the legal
limit. By the provisions of section 80
bank officers are made personally liable
for oyerdrafts allowed bv them. The
attention Of bankers is especially
called to section 90, which prohibits
habitual borrowing, and limits the col
lateral that bank may pledge as Sc
eurity for borrowing money to 20 per
cent. in excess Of the amount borrowed,

NEWS FROM HAVANA.

Dispatch to New York Paper Says Cuba
Is Surely Lost to Spain.
New YORK, March s3.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana says: Only a
few of the more eXcitable Spanish Off
GERS refuse to admit that Cuba Is lost
to the Spanish crown. Resident
Spaniards confess they can see no other
outcome In fact, evidences that Cuba
may in the end be freed by Spanish
residents themselves are many
and strong, The calmest minds
predict the end of Spanish
rule within two years, Some
say not so soon, others say within one
year. The proposition of Cisneros and
Gomez to buy the island is rapidly
growing in popularity here. It's
warmest advocates are Spanish and
residents hitherto loyal to the crown.
They are the active financial and bust
ness men OF the island, the owners of
eight-tenths of its wealth and its
sources Of wealth.

KANSAS CITY, No, March 19.-Attor-
torneys Tor the Kansas City Live Stock
exchange are preparing to begin pro.
.ceedings in the courts to test the new
dockage law passed by the Kansas leg
islature. The new rules enacted by
the exchange to conform to the
new law are causing much con-
fusion at the yards, and as their
enforcement has a tendency to
hamper the transaction Of business,
there is a feeling among all classes OF
people engaged in the business that
the law should be tested, as soon
as practicable. The burden Of the
complaints, it is said, come from the
shippers.

Sugar Trust Profits cinched.

The trusts have cinch on Dingley bill profits Of course they will make many times more if the bill becomes law ill anything like its present. shape, but they arc already engaged in taking part of their profits.
 Sugar has risen considerably ill antic- ipation of greatly increased duties, and merchants all over the country are laying in stores because still higher prices are expected. The Sugar trust is consequently busy and rolling up profits. In April it imported 75i,I99, 521 pounds of raw sugar, valued at $14,747, l39 An extra profit of one half cent per pound on this amount-which is already real. ized or guaranteed-means nearly S4. GOO, GOO to the trust
 If the hill is two mouths longer i'll its passage, the trust will surely pocket SIC, ,000, 000 extra profits before the bill becomes law Who says protection is not good thing? And why shouldn t Senator Aldrieh push 1t along and i'll turn get his street railway svndicates pushed along by the Sugar trust2 Ism [ this reciprocity? Wouldnt Aldrich be an ingrate if he should desert his friends and packers when he has an opportuni- ty to help them?

Why DinsIey Rates Are So High.

Afraid to open your chops about the Mckinley bill before the election, bav- ing won, you are cut Heroding Herod out. McKinleying Mckinley, because the men who furnished the money to carry the election are relentless task masters, clamorous for their remunera- ton. They have such rayenous appe tites that you have leen compelled to mako the rates higher than in the Nc Kinley bill Let this rot be forgotten, inscribe it Oil the tablets of your mem- ory. Be it known that the average tariff tax under tho Mckinley bill was 49. 58 per cent ad valorem; under the Wilson German bill, 30. Of per cent, and under the Dingley bill, 5703 per cent. Hence the average rate of taxation on some thing like 4,o00 articles of every day consumption is 5 per cent higher under the Dingley bill than under Mckinley E law, and r per cent higher than under the Wilson German bilI.-Hon.

Tie New Sugar Scandal.

Is tho country to be afflicted with a second sugar scandal? Are the "senators from Havemeyer' ex-officio members of the finance committee, and are they to be permitted to dictate the important sugar schedule?-Chieago Evening Post (Ind. Rep).
 The senate committees bill, whether designed to do so or not, will give the trust great advantage should it be- come law. For that reason the country is bitterly opposed to the senate sugar schedule, and if the senate will heed the voice cf the people that schedule will not be embraced in the new tariff. Indianapolis Journal tRep).
 The storm over the sugar schedule is steadily increasing All the examina- tions which have been made since it's report instead of clearing it up, only make it lcok the blacker It has appar- ently been made of very complicated character to baffle analysis and 10 dis guise Il job, hut, intricate as it is, it does not conceal the fact that it em- braces very large differential for the benefit of the trust. This conviction is universal, and it Is aggravated by the stories Of personal profit in connection with hiladelphia Press (Rep. ).
 The specific charge by responsible newspaper ill Chicago that three mem bers of the senate speeulated i'll the se erets of the committee room after The sugar schedule on the senate tarift bill had been framed, and profted $50. .0o0 by the transaction, is altogether too seri- ous to be treated ky the senate with contempt or indifference.
 The peculiar influence which the magnates of the Sugar trust have oxerted i'll tho framing of the new sugar sched- ule has already created suspicious IS to the integrit, of the framers of tho bill If the charge against the alleged spccu- laters shall not be investigated, it will serve to strengthen, if not confirm, this suspicion.

Navigating the ocean Among Thousands

 Whatever may be said-and much can be--of the beauties of the Alaskan coast, it is not inviting to the seafaring man, and especially the master who is taking ship by the inside route from Puget sound tp Sitka or Juneau for tho first t.me, feat, so 1t is claimed. impossi- l ble of accomplishment by continuous voyage save through the assistance of q good pilot. This passageway formed l by the mainland coasts of British te 1 lnmbia and Alaska and achain or iss l lands ranging ill length from to 250 miles-is from 100 yards to several miles in width The channels proper are of unnsual depth.

 Old sea captains say tbere is no wa ter course in the world where in unfa. vorable weather such skill is required us to guide ship via the channels on Il voyage from the sound and return, the rognd trip to Sitkn being more than half the distance of the voyage across the Atlantic The Pacific Coast Steam ship company < vessels running to Alas. ka are always manned with two pilots each i'll the winter and spring and are never without one pilot. With at least two of this company's vessels HOW rum ming to Alaska the captains themselves served au apprenticeship of many years at piloting.
 The outside passage tho one by the open ocean, is seldom used, on account of the unfavorable winds which prevail for distance of over 50 miles out to sea, rendering vessels progress much slower, to say nothing of the danger of ships being taught in gale and driven ashore. With fhe danger from wreck almost eliminated by the employment of professional pilots, the inside passage is rendered most delightful voyage, as it abounels ill beautiful scenery and is free from winds.
