THE ITALIAN CADET SHIP.
Visitors VIII BE Allowed on the
Amerigo Sespucci.

The italian cruiser is in the Potomac,
just off Alexandria. She will not come
to wharf at Washington, but will re-
main in the river for eight or nine
days. An officer Of the vessel said yes
terday that they would not convey Min
lister Polo away from this city and eX-
planned that the vessel was only on a
visit Of pleasure to Washington.
The Amerigo Vespucci arrived in the
upper Potomac about 10 o'clock yester-
day. Friday she was below Colonial
Beach, afraid to venture across the Ket-
tie Bottom shoals At a. m. yesterday
the Norfolk and Washington steamer
sighted her near Matthias Point and
about 9 o'clock a Government boat re-
ported that she was two miles below
Indian Head.
A Times reporter went down the river
and found the ship off Alexandria.

officer; Antonio ID. Stefano, navigating
officer: RaffaeIe CosenZa, lieutenant;
Giavoni Cavalli, second lieutenant; AL
fredo Brofferia, third lieutenant; and
Neri Farina, ensign Of the marine
guard. Ensign Farina explained that

These officers have graduated from

N. Y. STATE BANKS.
The Years Business Shows Very Marked
Improvement

Albany, N Y, Jan. 2-The annual re-
port of the New York state superintend-
ent of banks contains the following
paragraph:
'4The number of active state banks of
deposit and discount in New York at
the close Of the fiscal year ended Sept.
30, 1897 was 212, which was net de-
crease of one, as compared with the
corresponding date the year before.
The condition of the banks, as a
whole, has improved markedly during
the year. their aggregate resources hay-
ing increased about flfty-fiye and half
millions, or more than 20 per cent, Their
discounts have increased nearly seven
and a quarter millions, and the amount
due from banks and trust companies
more than fourteen millions. The gain
in general deposits the item chiefly af-
Secting earning power, has been nearly
forty-tlhree millions tWo-thirdS of 1t
having been realized during the period
from June 9, 1897, to Sept. Is, 1897. With
1t all, the published reports of the banks
have been brought to reflect their act
uai condition much more accurately
than formerly The business embarrass-
ulents and wrecks which mark the
period from 1898 to 1897 as the most
disastrous the country ever experienced,
threw upon the banks vast amount of
property held by them as collateral Sc
cur.ity, which was not only not avail
able for banking operations, but which
required time and judicious manage
ment in order to enable even decent
realization to be made from 1t.

Constituted.
Albany, N T., Jan. 2.-The legislature
OF 1898 will meet at the capitol Wednes-
day at noon The senate, by virtue of
the new constitution. remains for a
third year the same as in the two pre-
vious sessions.
In the assembly the republicans, in
contrast to the enormous majority Of
last year, have but a bare working ma
1ority of four votes, including two Citi-
zens' Union members from New York
city. This small majority means that
no appropriation bills can be passed
without the aid of the democratic votes
20 make up the two-thirds and three
Afths votes demanded by the constitu-
ton upon all bills appropriating
gtate moneys. The senate has a very
