MONEY IN PLENTY.
New York Banks Have More Cash
Than Ever Before.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Finan-
cier says: The statement of the assO-
ciated banks of New York for the week
ending July II is interesting, mainly on
account of the remarkable increase in
deposits and cash reserve. The total
deposits of the banks now stand at the
unprecedented figure of $613, 267, 200, and
the cash reserves exceed $199, $780, 900,
which, with the exception of the latter
part of 1894 is the heaviest accumula-
ton the banks have ever carried. Once
before this year the total approached
closely the present figure, but the vol
ume of loans was much less, as was
also the case three years ago. The loan
item is holding the high figure it at
tanned several weeks since, and the in
crease for the past seven days was
$3S7 SEQ. The banks, according to the
report, gained no less than $6,071,700 in
cash and if the deposit item is correct,
the money is lying absolutely idle in
the vaults since the gain agrees close
ly with the cash expansion.
A comparison of the several items Of
the individual banks composing the
clearing house membership seems to
show that the gains, both in cash and
deposits, were made for the most part
by the larger institutions, eight of
which make an aggregate increase Of
nearly 900 in deposits. In the
Item Oh loans lnlfty banks out OF the
siXty-five report increases, but these
are offset to a great extent by the
losses of the remaining thirty-five. The
Nationality and the Seaboard National
make the largest increases-$2,0 900, 600.
The other changes were unimportant
The unusual accumulation of funds
is difficult of explanation, but it will
probably have the effect of maintain
ing interest rates at the low figures
which have ruled the market for some
time past. The excess cash reserve
was increased $4,675, 525 by the opera
tons of the week, and the total sur
plus reserve is now SAG, O36, 900. AS indi-
cative of the flow of money to this
center. it need only be mentioned that
the idle cash has been maintained
within three millions of the present
figure for sixteen weeks, with the eX-
ception of the two previous weeks, al
though during the period first named
loans have expanded about $28. 000 OG0
AS confirming the congested state of
the money market, it might also be
pointed out that the deposits of the
banks have shown a corresponding eX-
pansiOn during the same period of $780,
600 900

SEAL CONFERENCE.
of the Fact That One
Has Been Called.

LONDON, July 1.-THE report ca
bled on Thursday by the Associated
Press that an interna tional conference
on the seal controversy would be held
at Washington in the autumn is cor
hrmed by an official paragraph issued
today by the British authorities, and
which will be printed here tomorrow.
The statement says: s....-.-
Inc publication of an isolated old dispatch
winch has been duly replied to- much as it
may be regretted, has not retarded the prog
ress OF the negotiations in London. AS there
seems, however, to be some 'misapprehensien
on the subject, it should be pointed out that
In the communications now passing there is
no question of altering the regulations now
in force in the Boring sea or of imposing
fresh restrictions. ~
John w. Foster, on behalf of his gov
eminent is urging that the experts rep
resenting the governments interested
should meet and compare the results of
their Investigations with a view Of
arriving at an agreed state of facts.
This is the sole object of the proposed
meeting.
An idea that the conference will deal
with the question of revising the reg
ulations is entirely misleading. Con-
ferences between the representatives of
the United States, Canada and the for
elgn and colonial officers are proceed
ing almost daily.

FlTCHBURG ROAD ROBBED.
Strong Evidence of "a Conspiracy
Among Freight officials.

BOSTON July 1.-THE sudden and
somewhat singular death of Clarence
c. Anthony, auditor of the Fitchburg
railroad since 1885, at his home in Wal
than, on Thursday morning, has re-
suited in giving what may come to be a
premature publicity to a series of facts
i'll relation to the administra ton of
some Of the departments of the Fitch
burg railroad, the knowledge of which
has thus far been carefully kept within
a very limited circle. Following the
news of Mr.. Anthony's death it became
known that the directors have for
some months been engaged in special
investigation into the management Of
the freight department of the road, and
that corps of expert railroad account
ants have been at work upon the ac-
counts. Their investigation will cover
the entire freight accounts of the road
since the advent of President Marcy,
which was about 1889. When it is
known that such investigation by ex-
those engaged in this work will cost
perhaps $4,000, it seems probable that
the directors of the road had grounds
for suspicion of very grave and ex-
tended wrong doing before they set in
action such expensive machinery
While details are yet wanting, it is
learned that the suspicious of the di-
rectOrs tend toward conspiracy of
collision between several officials to Sc
cure from the treasury of the road
large sums of money, ostensibly as re-
bates paid to large freight patrons of
the road, but the larger portion Of
which sums are suspected to have been
divided among the cOnspirators.

seriously felt in connection with new

George Fred Williams of Dedham was

The convention was so disorderly at
times as almost to require the interven-
ton of the police. George Fred Will
Jams was the principal figure in the
gathering. There was no opposition to
his nomination for governor, but his in
sistence on the turning down of old
party leaders who were lukewarm in
support of himself and Bryan last fall
created tumult at the outset and it
was some time before order was re-

STUBS WAS TOUCHED.

And He Gave Up His Fare to the Man
Who Touched Him.
Stubs is really not very absent
minded, but when he is riding on a
street Car he makes it point not to
look at the conductor. It often saves car
fare, for there is something about
Stubs that makes him lucky enough to
be overlooked two cases in ten when he
boards loaded Car.
One morning he was absorbed in his
paper, and when he felt touch on his
arm he mechanically passed out his
nickel and went on with his reading.
Later the conductor stood beside him
and murmured, Fare, please" but
received no attention. Stubbs had paid
his fare. Then the abominable nuisance
of conductor seized him by the shout
der and held out his hand, saying stern
ly, Fare. please"
II paid you BEFORE" said Stubs as
affably as he could.
"No, you did not. Come, pass out
car fare"
"Man, I paid my fare when you were
around before And Stubs thought for
an adjective he might use when there
were ladies about. "You-you-infer-
nal-idiot, you are drunk or asleep, for
when you touched me on the arm I
passed out nickel, and you must have
taken it, for it was the only one had"
milling in his change pocket.
With red face the conductor rang
the bell to stop the Car, roaring, "You
will have to pay your fare or get off
the car, F." in a tone that startled every
one. 81 did not get your nickel, and
you know it.
At that minute the man who had
nudged Stubs to move over in the seat
he had occupied with him dropped off
the car and walked the other block to
his Office.
The next time Stubs rode in a
crowded Car he gently touched the arm
of an acquaintance and got even for the
cents he had lost and for the. chagrin
he had suffered. Chicago News.

SOME TIPS FROM WILSON.

Washington Senator Tells How the Terri
tory of Hawai-. Will BE Governed.
TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 29.-In an in
terview with Ledger reporter Senator
John l.. Wilson said there would be no
contest in the senate over the anneXa-
ton of hawaii, the only question that
arises would be over the matter of gov
eminent and that plan had already
been preached by several senators
which it was thought would meet all
requirements. 1t would be of terri
torial form, with two houses, the upper
house and the governor to be appointed
and the lower house 10 be elected. The
governor would be from this country
and nominated by the president, SUI.
ject to the approval of the senate. The
upper house will be appointed from the
island and the members of the lower
body will be elected by the island.
