BANK STATEMENT FOR THE wEE1

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Finan-
cier says: According to the statement
issued by the Associated Banks of New
York city, for the week ending April

ed 81, 532, 500 in cash and increased their
deposits 81, 942. 600. AS loans expanded

item agrees closely with the expansion
in the other totals. The gain in cash.
however, was not as large as the move
ments of the week had indicated. The
flow Of funds to this center has been
unusually heavy, during the past few
days, and, despite the increase of one
and one-half millions in loans, the re-
serve is larger than at the close Of
business one week ago.
1t is not improbable that the loan in
crease represents the business Of that
period, as the demand for money is now
at a low ebb, and rates are establish
ing new records, especially in the call
loan branch A matter of some mo-
ment, just at present, is the course of
foreign exchange. If the demand for
gold, on the part Of Japan and Austria,
continues, there is a strong probability
that specie Will be exported from the
United States. The present exchange
quotations are under the shipping point,
but the drain on the bank of England
has resulted in a net loss Of gold, to
that institution, of not less than $780,
900, 900 within the past week, and there
is nothing to indicate that 1t will abate
to any extent soon. The movement
from the United States, If gold is act
ually exported, will not be on account
Of trade conditions here, but will re-
fleet, rather, the change in the japanese
monetary standard, and the war
preparations in Europe. The domestic
situation does not warrant exports, at
the present time. although continued
importations of merchandise, in heavy
volume, may reduce foreign balances
materially.

swiftness of the knockout. Morgental
listened with awe, for he had never
seen two men put up their hands at
each other

Sildaman. Us that possible? Well,
you ought to be ashamed of yourself
I'll tell you what I'll do, Morgental.

Il don't know about that. Too much

Risk nothing! Wouldn't you like to

Now, I'm not fooling about this. I've
got q friend that tips off all the fights
to me, and I'll let you know as soon
as l hear Of another one"
Morgental did not feel any further
uneasiness on the subject until he re-
ceived the following note:
My Dear MorgentaEThere is going to be a
good thing pulled on in a barn near Archer
avenue next Saturday night. You come to my
house about o'clock and I'll take you. Now
for you, and attendance is limited. Truly, etc.
-Sildaman.
He was inclined to weaken. but the
longer he considered the letter the
greater became his curiosity to see a
sure enough fight. The spirit of ad-
venture was aroused within him.
Sildaman wrote to him again Zone of
those Don't forget" letters, and the
second letter determined him. He
made UP an elaborate lie about a
card party at Sildaman's and started
to keep his appointment.
He found Sildaman at home. "Good!'

back. Now, we'd better start at

ments are made within the next ten
days. Until very recently, it was
thought that no gold would go to Eu-
rope this year, or at any rate until very
late in the year The outgo of gold,
which now seems inevitable, will be
due, not to conditions in this country,
but to the situation in London, or 10
be more exact, to the position in which
the Bank of England finds itself. The
bank has recently sustained tremen-
dous losses of geld from it's vaults
chiefly by reason of Withdrawals for
transfer to Austria and Japan, and es-
pecially to the latter country. The loss
in gold bullion by the bank in the last
week has been practically $4,000 OG0
The shipments for the week to Japan
and Austria were $5,000,0e0. Sterling
exchange is almost up to the gold-ex-
porting point which is calculated to be
siS8A for demand exchange. The

For another thing. the stock of bills

or three months ago was laTge-aD-
proximating at one time $100.e00.000,
counting the bills hypothecated for
Ioans-has been reduced to between
$4,000, 600 and 10000, 600. This IS the
time of year when there is q large call
for bills by commercial remitters, and

Morgental deposited his watch and
chain and scarfpin in Sildaman's
bureau drawer. AS they walked over
to the car Sildaman outlined the pro-
gramme. The chosen spectators were
to meet at a saloon in Archer avenue
and get their tickets. Then they were
to proceed, a few at a time and by
roundabout ways, to the barn, which
was about three blocks distant.
Il think everything will be all right, :"
said Sildaman. 1.-THE policeman On the

with Laura Keene when he was a
member of the company and was af-
terward with him at Niblo's when he
was in the heyday of his glory and
was making his own productions. He
was one Of the most peculiar men the
stage has ever known. In private life
he was as generous as the sun, and he
was q magnificent host. For a long
time he maintained establishments at
New York, London, Brighton and
Brussels, and at whichever of these
places he happened to be there was
certain to be a house full Of guests.
1t may not be generally known, but it
IS nevertheless a fact that Boucicault
enjoyed the warm friendship of men
prominent in almost every walk of life
both in this country and England.
Ii is strange that so little is known
Of Di0n's early life. If he had been an
ignorant fellow with a special aptitude

ner. He was only nineteen years Of
age when he wrote London Assur-

have occupied but two weeks of his
time. This piece was produced at the
Covent Garden theater in 1841, and
Boucicault Nas sneeringly hailed as
the founder Of the upholstery school
Of comedy Notwithstanding this, the
play was a very great success, and
from that time the young dramatist's
rise 10 fame and fortune was easy and
rapid. At this time Boucicault was

Morgental wanted to go home, but
he was afraid to say So
In the Archer avenue saloon they
found a company of darkly suspicious
persons, who lounged closely against
the bar and talked in husky whispers.
The two newly arrived men were I'M
der a cloud of doubt until the bar
tender, who had been engaged at the
ice chest, came out and greeted Sill
daman with cordially. Sildaman took
him aside. and they breathed In each

a few minutes"
Sildaman then bought for the entire as

came in and conferred with the bartender.
After a few minutes the company began to
be fed out, few at time, from the
back door into an alley paved with broken

That was reassuring talk to offer to q man

and probably nearly 100 other plays
of minor Importance


During Boucicault's long career as a
playwright he has frequently charged
with plagiarism, and there is consid-
cradle ground for the belief that the
allegations were not always without
foundation. He somehow lacked orig
inality, and many of his most sue
cessful works were demonstrations of
popular books which he managed to
disguise so effectually that they were
not usually recognized by those who
had an intimate acquaintance with
the stage. His royalties We're enor-
NOUS, and it was we'll that they were
so, for he spent money like water, and
If his income had been only moderately
large he would have been constantly in

his career it is said that his total rev.

acting. etc, did not fall far short Of
$250,000 a year. And yet when he died
he left practically nothing except few
of his plays, which were so used up
that they have since produced only the
most limited royalties for his heirs.
One CT the most marked of the many
peculiarities of BoueicauIt was his
famous ''black book" which was a
terror to every one VINO either had had
or hoped TO have business relations
with him. In this volume, which was
of black morocco, with golden clasps
and two small keys OF the same prec-
touS metal he was in the habit of lot
ting down every thing that he happened
to have against q manager, an actor,
costumer or even theater And if
name once was written in that dread
ed tome that was an end to the hopes
of the owner OF ever doing business
with the eccentric Dion, even after
the lapse Of many years. This plan
might have had Its commendab1e fea-
lures, Ii 1t had not been for the fact
that the playwright was largely a
creature of prejudice. and therefore

no one has ever taken the trouble to
ascertain this positively.
1t used to be said generally that John
Brougham wrote the part of Dazzle in
London Assurance" But BOucicauIt
always denied the allegation, and his
subsequent career amply demonstrated
that, whether or not he had permitted
the actor to interject a role into his
first piece, he, Boucicault, was we'll able
to have written much better one

NEW YORK, April 15.-If 1 were
asked to name the man who, in my
opinion, was the most remarkable the
atrical figure of the nineteenth CEN
ury, 1 should unhesitatingly select Dion
Boucicault, not because he was the
greatest actor or the greatest play

because he probably had his superior
in each of these branches of the dra-
matte art, but because he possessed a
combination Of all in a greater de-

Issue an Address Defending Their

The following is an extract from
the lengthy address issued by the
boiling Populists Of the Legislature j:
"The PopulisJs who left the caucus
of the Peoples party Of the General
Assembly desire to present to the
Populists of the State some facts and
sentiments which are of great impor-
tance to our party. Our position on
the Senatorial question is justified by
every reasonable Populist, by every
precedent in the party's past history,
and the very existence OF the party,
we think, depends upon the policies
and principles and persons we have
the honor to represent. We have
been so unjustly misrepresented and
so basely yIllif1ed, our motives and
actions have been so vilely miscon
strued by uuscrupulOus Democrats
and by the Butler POpulists, other
wise known as the majority, that we
deem few words necessary In order
to allow the truth TO prevail. We
are pioneer Populists and we allow no
mau to misinteIpret our loyalty to
our party, our principles and our
State; but we regret to say that some
OF our leaders are practicing the worst
species OF bossism that ever disgraced
North Carolina, and we deem it our
duty to protest against such tyranny"
The majority Populists, who have
cut loose from the Republicans, have
also issued an address, which was pre-
pared by Butler, Fountain, Aver and
