BUFFALO BILL'S' WORK

Baltimore.-Col. William +. Cody "Blf-

chief of scouts on Gen. Miles staff, has

tracking the enemy. These animals are now
at Tampa, Fla, and their transportation
thither was at the personal expense of Col.

my work. he said, in answer to a ques-
ton, will be my old role as scout. 1t will
be necessary to send a body of men ahead
of the regular army to discover the where
abouts of the Spanish and to inform the
main body. There appears to be a fairly
general impression that scouts are to do 4
great deal Of lighting, but this is largely er-
roneous. Such fighting as they do is Incl

much running as standing
1.-The relation of scouting bands to the army
Is somewhat like that of the recently pur-
chased auxiliary cruisers to the navy, that
is to discover the enemy; but in addition n
most important duty is to discover roads,
learn the character of the country to be
traverssd later by the army, and to report
accordingly. In case of Cuban invasion,
for instance, a landing will doubtless be eff
fected some distance from Havana, and the
scouts will familiarze themselves with the
most available means of approach to the

Savings Bank Investments

The action of the New York state legisla-
ture permitting the savings banks of the
state to invest in railroad bonds under GER
tain restrictions has been variously re-
teived. This action was not the result of
any concerted movement on the part of the
banks, for they have almost to unit OPP
posed the extension of lines of investment.
Indeed the banks through their association
nave been compelled to be on constant guard
to prevent raids into the laws governing
their management. The step Just taken is
an important one and marks the beginning
OF almost new era in the extension of
savings banks investments The bonds
that are purchasable under this law must be
upon railroads Incorporated in New York
state. the principal part of the line located
within the state and are to be first mort
gage securities in every case, and the road
must have paid for period of five years
punctually and regularly the principal and
interest of all its mortgage debt and in adj
dition dividend upon all of its stock during
the same period of time and at a no less
rate than per cent. A still further require
rnent is. that at the dates of the payment
OF the dividends the capital stock shall equal
at least one-half the total mortgage debt
of the road. including all bonds issued or
to be issued under any mortgage securing
the bond. Banks are forbidden to invest
more than 90 per cent of their deposits in
these railroad bonds, and street railroads
nre not to be classed as steam lines under
the law. Whilst ii is no easy matter, says
American Investments, to find proper In
vestments for the increasing deposits of our
savings banks, the tendency amongst the
banks has been and still is to go slow be-
lievng that the plethora of funds would not
continue. In any event the new law will
not afford great relief for there are not
great many roads in the state that are able

AMERICANS STAYING AT HOME
The War Greatly Reduces the Amount
of Money Spent Abroad

New York.-By the way of compensation
for the money which the pursuit of Span
ish war ships is costing this country there
is being kept in the, country by the war
many millions of dollars. In ordinary years
this money goes to Europe ana purchased
old silver, china, paintings, sculptures,
specimens Of the nobility and other luxu-
ries This year it stays at home in Ameri
ca and is either expended or invested here
because its owners do not feel inclined to
leave the country while the present diff
ficulty is unsettled.
1.-THE place for an American when his
country is at war is America said Gov
ernor Flower when he stepped off the ST.
Paul at the end of her last trip as the prop
er.y of the American line. This is the feel
ing that keeps thousands of men at home
or bring them back from Europe.
Accurate figures are impossible to OBJ
tain. but 1t has been estimated that fully
one hundred million dollars was spent in
Europe last year by Americans, this sum
including the cost oftravel across and back
over the Atlantic. Some one-half million
persons went abroad. If half of the persons
who would otherwise have gone stay at
home on account of the war, there is fifty
million dollars kept in this country. But
this Is assuming that so per cent. of the
stay-at-homes represent so per cent. of the
amount spent abroad. As matter Of fact
they represent far more than this, for the
men restrained from going by the ticlSish
state of business In war times are the men
of great interests, who are able to and do
spend large sums Of money In making pur-
chases in Europe.
A well-known banker OF this city estl-
mates that from sixty to seventy-five mil
lion dollars will be kent at home this year
unless the war should end very speedily.

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects Of the Trade In
Cereals

CHICAGO, June 14-The furry yester-
day seemed to have cleared the atmosphere
ON the board of trade today, and there was
nothing to remind one of the disturbance
but the lower prices. The Letter deal was
generally considered to be dead and buried,
so far as the. trading. In deferred futures
was concerned but the obsequies of the
cash end of that remarkable speculation
were still to be perfected Wheat started
not far from the closing prices of the day
before for the bulk Of the transactions
although few sales at II cents improve
ment in September and December delivery
were made. Weakness very soon developed,
however, and July sold down cents and
September and December about 114 cents
each during the half-hour's trading. 1t
became rumored during the forenoon that
wheat the latter had coming TO him, Ar
mour had bought all the cash wheat held
by the young Spectator in Minnesota and
Duluth. That gave a little firmer tone to
the proceedings in the pit. The gathering
strength was increased when the rumor
referred to received the substantial con-
firmation Of the president Of the Illinois
Trust and Savings bank. To complete the
bulish combination, the weather was still
wet in Texas, where about half Of the
wheat is in shock, and it rained heavily in
Kansas and other western states, where
wheat cutting had commenced. Liverpool
contributed Il further item of bulishness
by cabling that the wheat throughout east
and Central Russia was threatened with
total failure from drought and that the
worst was probable unless rain relieved
the situa ton within a week. The Liverpool
quotations, however, were anything but
bullish, giving clear indications of the
abandonment of threatened July corner
in that market. July wheat there was Is.
Sd. per GENITAL, or the equivalent Of IS cents
bushel lower this morning than 1t closed
yesterday, but September was only the
equivalent of 1al cents per bushel and De-
cember Is of a cent lower. July at o'clock
had recovered about cents bushel of IT'S
early loss. July closed with loss of IA
cents and September was 4 of a cent lower.
The continued showery weather and the
more settled feeling in the wheat pit caused
a firmer tone in corn. July closed I'M

Government Accounts

The last month but one of the fiscal year
came to an end with May, the receipts for
which, amounting to S3o07 AZ ;SlS e. showed
pared with those of the preceding month.
and an increase of not quite $4,000 as
compared with those for the corresponding
month amounted to SAT ,4S99 09, which rep
resents an increase of over SO 500 900 as COM
pared with the preceding month, and OF
over $1S,700,0 900 as compared with the cor
responding month of last year. AS will be
seen, the expenditures exceeded the re-
ceipts in amount by over SIT 800 900. where
as in May, 1897, the receipts exceeded the
expenditures In amount by nearly $500 .000
AS might be expected the principal items
in the table of expenditures for the month
were those Of the war and navy depart
ments and pensions; which together
balance in the treasury showed a decline
for the month of over 500 goo ,0OO
For the eleven months of the year end
ing with May the receipts amounted to
1911 ,001,7 6S. which represents an increase
of over $50 900 as compared with the cor
responding period of the preceding fiscal
year. The most marked changes as COM
pared with the preceding fiscal year, are
found in the change of the relative posi-
lions of the customs and internal revenue
receipts, and in the great increase in the
receipts from miscellaneous sources. The
receipts from customs for eleven months
of 1898 amounted to $135 .259 $685. which
represented a decrease Of nearly $19, 500 900
as compared with the corresponding period
Of the preceding fiscal year. The Internal
revenue receipts on the other hand
amounted to s153. 674, which represented
an increase of over $19.10O,O0O as compared
with the corresponding period of the pre-
ceding fiscal year. The miscellaneous re-
ceipts for the eleven months period
amonted to S2.47S229, which was an in
crease Of nearly 100000, 900 as compared
with those for the corresponding period
of the preceding fiscal year. AS has al
ready been pointed out in regard to the
miscellaneous receipts, the great increase
in them this year is due to the payments
roads.
The expenditures for the eleven-montfis'
period amounted to $685. .523 105, which was
an increase Of over s52, 600 900 as compared
with those for the corresponding period
of the fiscal year 1S96-97. All the items on
this side of the. account show increases,
with the exceptions of payments on ac-
first mentioned case there was decrease
If nearly $1,6OO000. and in the latter de-
crease of about $3.50 900. On the other hand,
the payments on account of civil and mis-
,ellaneous expenditures showed an increase
IF nearly $5,300000, and those for pensions
an increase of little over that amount
while the expenditures on account of the
war department showed an augmentation
Of nearly $26,2O0 600, and those on account
Of the navy an increase of over SIS, 400 900.
The excess of expenditures over receipts
for the portion of the fiscal year that has
elapsed amounts to over $24 500 OOO This
is less than that for the like period of the
preceding fiscal year, which amounted TO
over S32 900. The showing will how
ever, be changed by the increase in the

The State at Large
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-THE crop
summary for this state for the week end
ing June 18th is as follows:
The second week in June was marked by
scant rainfall and temperature about nor
NAL. Light showers fell along the coast
on the 9th and 10th. In the northern DIR
ton of the Sacramento valley there were
thunder showers on the 18th, with rain
fall of a tenth of an inch. Cloudy weather
has prevailed along the entire coast, with
frequent heavy fogs.. On the whole the
weather has been favorable for vegetation.
Haying is nearly over, and more hay of
good quality is reported than was expected
month ago. Grain will also yield better
than anticipated. Considerable wheat will
be harvested within the coming fortnight.
Fruit of all kinds Is doing well. Apples
promise a very large crop. Pears and
prunes are developing nicely. Beets, pota-
toes and onions are f1ourishing; oranges will
make heavy crop. Alfalfa hay grown on
irrigated lands is of great help to stock
