Chamberlain Admits That a Treaty
Has Been Signed
Forming an Alliance Between the Two
Foreign Powers.
Has No Bearing, However, on the
Friendship of England for the
United States - The British
Statesman Believes America
Should Hold the Philippines.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The ''Tri-
bune" says:
Joseph Chamberlain said frankly to
a Tribune" reporter that the treaty
with Germany had actually been signed,
thus making it known to the world for
the first time that such an alliance has
been made. Dispatches from England
yesterday made it clear that in that
country it was still matter Of con-
lecture whether or not there was any
true basis for the reports that England
and Germany had come to an under
standing. Moreover, while not stat
ing it in so many words for the rea-
son, as he explained, that he did not
wish to appear presumptuous, Mr..
Chamberlain made it clesr that the
English Government favors the reten-
ton of the Philippines by the United
States. When Mr.. Chamberlain was
asked as to the opinion he held regard
ing the most advantageous course
which the United States could pursue
respecting the Philippines, he replied
automatically:
However much I would like TO talk
upon this matter, l must not do so, for
the simple and sufficient reason that
anything / would say in that direction
might seem like the giving of advice
or suggestion to the United States by
a foreign statesman; and that, beside
being invidious, would be impertinent."
Leaving, thereupon, the direct line
of inquiry, Mr.. Chamberlain was asked
for his opinion in the abstract, as it
We're Then it became apparent from
Mr.. Chamberlain's conversation that he
viewed the holding OF the Philippines
as an advisable course for America,
both from national and mercantile
outlook.
COLONIZATION is always a good thing
for any country" he said. "England's
experience bears out that sestement
thoroughly. In the first place it tends
to uplift the whole character Of a ma
ton. The government Of colonies COM
pels a country to wider and broader
policies and national thought because
of the further responsibilities which are
incurred. Instead of spending every
moment Of its time in the consideration
of parochial or local matters, the hold
ing Of colonies imposes an enormous
trust upon a home government, the
carrying out of which undoubtedly
helps any administration because of
its broadening influences, and these in

FAVORABLE BANK STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The Financier says: The statement of the Associated Banks of New York City for the five days ending Feb ruary Il Saturday being a holiday is a fav- orabe exhibit, both from banking and con- mercal standpoint. Loans show an expan- sion of s 600. the increase originating appa- rently with two of the larger banks, the Ma tional City and the National Park. whose combined totals account for the change over the preceding week. The most interesting feature of the statement, however Is the loss of cash reported. The decrease for the week was s1,130.500. which Is the first shrinkage since the enormous inward flow which marked the end of December and the first week of January At the beginning of this year the re- serve of the banks was s15, S0o,0o0 It is now said to be S32, 431, ,050, increase of over S16, 6S7, GOO. In the same period loans have banded 32. 900, 900 and deposits $67700, 900. This, while the loan increase has been far above the normal 1t was impossible to make use of all the money going into banks. This review assumes that the increases were due to legitimate business operations, but the many special transactions growing out or the trans actions between the banks and the treasury are a factor that make a correct deduction Impossible. At any rate now that the banks sions the money market probably will recover somewhat from the demoralization which has marked its course thus far during 1898.
 If the past is of value in comparison 1t may be recalled for the week and the pre- vious one in 1897. the banks reduced their excess reserve ss500 GOO and lost in cash s6. 30o, period has been only little In excess of 3.l0o, 900. In 1897, the first week in March seemed to mark the high period of the bank reserves, after that and until we'll into the summer a stationary plane was reached. If the same thing is repeated this year the money market will probably maintain a level true that bankers are expecting frmer market within the next sixty days.
