NEW YORK BANK STATEMENTS

SHOWING
RESERVE EXCESS IS LARGE

Principal Causes Which Led to
Drainage of Reserve Funds Are
Removed, and Further Trouble
VIII Be AIeviated by Treasury
Operations - Only About $2O,-
100000 of the Bond Issue Due.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Finan-
cier says:
Despite loss of over 81, 00O, 900 in
cash to the treasury, and to the inte-
rlor, last week, the surplus reserve Of
the associated banks shows a shrink
age of only $2,836, IT'S, making the ex-
cess above requirements 81 250000 The
statement, in the face Of known facts,
must be regarded as favorable, al
though the banks seem loaned to their
limits. The operation by which a
heavy drain that nominally would have
left the banks without any surplus
reserve has been completed is very
simple. Loans have been contracted
$12,130,50O. This, with the loss of
$,795,O00 specie reduced the deposits
SIC, 1884, 500, making the loss in this item
alone about 100000, 900 in two weeks
Loans in the same time have fallen off
more than $18,000,000, but, as showing
the effect Of payments Of new bonds
on New York banks, it may be stated
that the aggregate deposits Of the
banks are now $50, 900, 900 lower than on
July Is, while loans are actually $14,-
100000 higher. This, of course, has re-
suited in a heavy contraction of re-
serves the loss in each approXimating
between $50, 900 and $57 900 900.
"The principal causes which have
led to this drainage of reserves are
now ending, and further trouble will be
obviated by the treasury operations.
The New York institutions have over
$70,O0O,OO0 public deposits within week
Only about 500, 900 of the new bond
issue is unpaid, and this will be col
>lected in installments. On the other
hand, gold imports received or ar
ranged amount to $7,000,0 00 exclusively
of Australian consignments, and the
firm rate prevailing here has brought
considerable cash from surrounding
cities.
"The shipments to the interior last
week did not exceed $4,000, 900, which
is very much under the average at this
season, and the shipments will continue
small for some time. 1t is not search
ty of money that is, a lack Of per
per capita circulation, which has caus-
ed the present state of affairs but
rather the adjustment due to tempo

happily, is being eliminated, and, with

Smith heard nothing more of him I'M
til a few days ago, when he learned
for the first time who his former cor
respondent and fellow detective was.
The information came to late, though,
for his earthly career had been wound
UP by well-to-dO stockman who shot
and killed him. The particulars of the
affair are not very clear, but it is said
that Starr was the aggressor and fired
several shots at the stockman.
Since then Mr.. Smith has met sew
eral cowboys who acknowledge that
they knew Starr and who further said
that they had known of his where
abouts ever since he left Wyoming, but
because of friendship for him had de-
clined to betray him to the officers.
While Mr.. Smith does not feel badly
over the death of Starr he feels trife
piqued to think that a man for whom
he hunted SO often and long should
have been cunning enough to have so
easily and successfully eluded him. But
he now understands why Dunn al
ways found 1T convenient to stave off
a personal interview with him.
Starr. alias Dunn, was one of the
worst criminals in border crime and
certainly one Of the most daring that
ever made the Wyoming ranges the
scene of cattle stealing and murder.

contented because the immigration au-
thorities had allowed her to join her
sweetheart, Maggie Woods was mar

negro, to we'd whom she had come all
the way from Dalkeith, Scotland The
bridegroom's lawyer, cOlored politi-
clan, the clergyman's wife and baby
and two reporters were the witnesses
of the ceremony.
When the girl landed here the au-
thorities refused to release her because
she declared her intention to marry
Hamilton. Sentimental persons all over
the country wrote letters to her, urging
her to give up her sweetheart and she
weakened enough to sign an affidavit
for the commissioners that she would
not marry the man.
special board of inquiry was con-
vened. Then Miss Woods coyly repudi-
ated her affidavit. or rather withdrew
her statement. She would marry Mar
tin, she said. The commissioners de-
cided there was no law to hold the
girl, and she drove off contentedly
with Hamilton and the minister
The wedding took place at the cler-
gyman's home. Clad in his best clothes,
Hamilton stood erect, towering above
the girl beside him. Her eyes were
downcast and her cheeks were red.
The clergyman read the Presbyterian
marriage service, while the brides
hand lay in that of her husband.
Hamilton is employed by an asphalt
company and has a home ready for his
wife in Newark. The certificate, which
the clergyman must return to the COM
missioners, states he is thirty-three
years old and In color brown" He is
black, though.

Decision in Favor of Minnesota
Rendered by Secretary Bliss.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17-Secretary
Bliss today decided a case involving
the claim Of Minnesota to swamp lands
in the coded portion Of the White Earth
reservation. The claim has been pend
ing in the department for some time.
The secretary's decision holds that the
state is entitled to swamp lands in
reservations and the commissioner Of
the general land office is directed to
segregate the swamp lands from other
lands in the four townships in this res
ervation, which are covered by the
Chippewa act of Jan. IA, 1889, and to
dispose Of the lands not swamp in these
townships in accordance with that act.
The state has been allowed reasonable
time in which to make selections of
swapm lands in accordance with this
decision, but no date has been filed
showing the amount Of land that will
accrue to the state under the decision.
1t is understood, however, that it will
benefit the state to the extent Of several
thousand acres,

So Doing.

So Doing.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 17.-John
Hill, young farmer, attended a party
near Aldrich with Miss Lucy Green.
During the course of the evening the
girl, with whom he had been keeping
company, offended him by receiving
with favor marked attentions from
other young men. On the way home
they were heard by several young cou
pies quarreling in a heated manner
over the girls alleged Inconsistency.
The young man had a sore toe, which
he had hit with an ak a day or two
before. The girl, put out with his
pickering, told him she would tread on
his toe if he did not quit quarreling.
Suiting the action to the word, she
gently pressed the sore toe with her
foot. Young Hill, becoming very an
cry at the act, told her he would kill
her if she repeated it.
IT never take a dare" said the girl,
and she trod on his toe again, this
time severely.
You will take lead just the same"
said the irate man, and he shot the
girl through the body with a pistol.
She died few hours afterward. Hill
is under arrest and claims that the
shooting was accidental.

600 Men.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Represen-

committee on military affairs, will In
troduce, on the ASSEMBLING of congress
a bill for the reorganization Of the
army. He proposesztosz increase the
regular army to a permanent force of
100000. He believes that the needs of
the country are such that for years
to come we should maintain a stand
ing army of at least 100000. This will
give 10000 men for duty in this coun-
try, which will certainly be needed at
the lowest estimate; 10000 for Cuba;
5000 or 5000 for Porto ARico, and one
regiment for the Hawaiian islands, and
$4,000 for the Philippines
The volunteer. army should be re-
leased and sent home as quickly as
possible" said Mr.. ,Hull.$
Il do not believe thereIis q regiment
OF volunteers that is not anxious to be
mustered out. There !are doubtless
many individuals who would prefer to
remain, but as organizations they
would all vote for disarmament"
