Ing the house at every performance,
being the only dramatic company play
ing at the Metropolitan so far. The
Wilbur Opera company played a two
weeks engagement, opening the season,
and closing with a return engagement
in the week ending today. The COM
pany, during the first two weeks, was
weakened by the absence of their pri-
ma donna, Miss Marion Manola, who
was seriously Ill and in the hospital at
that time; her return to the company
strengthened the organization wonder

Miss Manola had been in the cast when
the Wilburs opened here, the general
results would have been much more
satisfactory.
The Dorothy Morton Opera company,
which followed the WiFburs proved a

His programme this season contains
number of illusions on a large scale
which are said to be far in advance
of anything of a like character ever
seen here. The amount Of mental and
physical eXertiOn necessary to the
preparation and performance of these
illusions is rarely considered by the
thousands who marvel at the skill with
which they are presented. kellar is
q busy man and an original thinker,
always striving to secure something
new and novel in the field Of magic.
For his present tour he has brought
together the most bewildering collec-
ton Of receptions he has ever produc-
ed one of which he terms self-decapi-
tatiOn. In presenting this Illusion Mr..
Kellar seats himself on a plain wooden
chair in the center Of the stage, which
is brilliantly lighted, and in plain view
OF the audience, removes his head en-
tirely from the body and allows 1t to
float away in the air; during the prog
ress of this trick the head keeps up
a continual conversation, smiles and
mods to the audience, and finally dis
appears completely. Mr.. Kellar will
also present. his new HindOo clock mys-
terry, a unique and startling conceit
and one which fairly dumfounds the
audience with the accuracy with which
1t answers all questions bearing on the
past, the present and the future. In
addition, Mr.. Kellar will also present

a number of original experiments in

SPAIN STUBBORN.
Paris Paper Says the Negotiations
Are on the Verge of Stopping,

Are on the Verge of Stopping.
PARIS, Oct. 8.-Today's issue Of LIE
Gaulois dwells upon the rumors that
Judge Day has called to Washington,
saying that the negotiations for a
treaty Of peace are on the verge of
stopping, owing to Spain's refusal to
accept the United States attitude re-
garding the Philippines. The Gaulois
denies the report that Judge Day has
been authorized to suspend negotia-
tions if the Spaniards do not conform
to the American Views. The Gaulois
declares that, while the Spaniards at
the outset were obdurate, they are now
disposed to modify their intentions,
owing to the firmness Of the attitude
Of the United States.
The utterances Of Attorney General
Grfggs before the Republican conven-
ton at Trenton last week are cited as
showing that the purpose Of the United
States is expansion. Spain is said to
be beginning to realize this, and it is
said she will finally agree to give up
Manila and the island Of Luzon, on con-
dition that the United States assume
the Philippine debt, amounting to $40,-
100000, and accord privileges to SPANS
trade. In conclusion, the Gaulois says

RED SEA STATION.
The Car Scores a Point in the
European Game of Diplomacy.


LONDON, Oct. 8.-The news which
has reached here that Menelik, negus
OF Abyssinia, has come to am arrange
ment with Russia, whereby the latter
country secures a coaling station OH
the Red Sea, is matter of more i'm
portance to the British government
than at first appears.
The account Of the negotiations which
led to the cession indicates that the
methods used were those characteristic
of Russian diplomacy. 1t has been
notorious for a considerable time past
that Russia and France were actively
intriguing in Abyssinia, but thus far

which was not Menelik's to bestoW,
mas seemed to be doing nothing except
10 sign empty treaties and sQuabble
with his Orleanist coadjutor.
NOW, however, a tangible result ap-
pears. On the debatable ground that
Italy has abandoned her north African
possessions, Leontieff has secured for
Russla what she so long has deSired-a
foothold on the Red sea-
w men lately 1T was announced that
russia had secured the cession of
Raheita, her object being to secure a
HE'D sea coaling station, Great Britain
plainly declared that the concession
could not be permitted to stand. The
SraD therefore was abandoned, and 1t
Is not unlikely that the same fate may
overtake this latest Russian acquisi-
ton. England may welcome Italy If
that power pushes her sovereignty to
the Red sea coast; she may tolerate
Abyssinda, but she Is bound, as a meas
ure Of common prudence, to resent,
forcibly If necessary, the intrusion Of a

threaten Great Britain's route to india.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT
SHOWS BUSINESS CONDI-
TIONS GOOD
DESPITE TRADESMENS BANK

Weeks Changes Are Not So ImpOP-
tiOn-NOthing In the Statement
That Can Be Construed UnfavOr-
Than of One and Two Years Ago.
NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The New York
Financier says this week:
1.-THE changes in the statement of
the Associated Banks of New York
for the week ending Oct. 8, can be
traced almost entirely to a few banks.
Of the expansion of $8,678, 300 in de-
posits, the National City accounts for
about 100000, which was brought
about, apparently, by an increase of
100000 in the banks specie account,
and a gain of $3,000,000 in it's loans.
With these figures taken into account
the weeks changes, so far as the re-
naming banks are concerned, are not
so important. It is not to be forgotten,
however, that one less bank reports
Its clearances this week, the Trades
mems having suspended. The most Of
this banks business has gone into other
institutions, but there is an elimination
of $780, 900 in loans and $2,500,0 900 in
deposits, that went to make up the
total for last week Had these been
added to the current statement the
loans would have shown q much larger
increase, and deposits would have re-
f1ected a corresponding gain as would
also other items. These facts taken
into view, the statement becomes more
favora Bile than otherwise, for new bust
ness Of the other banks was counter
acted by loss Of Tradesmen's. Prac-
tically, however, the results are as
stated in the totals, but the inference
for better business, as shown above, is
correct in q limited measure. There
is nothing in the statement that can
be construed unfavorably. The cash
reserve is larger than for correspond
ing periods of one and two years ago,
and IS increasing steadily both from
gold imports and treasury disburse-
ments. The loss Of $3.50, 100 in legals
shows the effect of interior demands,
the banks having shipped more money
than usual lately. Domestic exchange
at the leading centers is quoted lower,
and the withdrawal may continue for
some time. Against such losses, how
ever, Is the gain from the sources nam
ed. Loan increases, as already shown,
were lower than indicated They re-
fleet @, very satisfactory condition Of
business. All fear Of fresh cOmplica-
tons in the money market must be re-
garded as at an end, and even with a
continuing demand from the interior
rates will probably ease off from this
time on.
Depository banks over the country
owe the treasury large amounts, but
the net balances, deducting the con-
tinued disbursements over receipts By
the government, will be replaced to
some extent by new circulation"

NAPLES, Oct. S-The reports that have
been cabled regarding the grave danger to
be apprehended from the eruption Of Mount
Vesuvius now in progress have been much
exaggerated. True, there has been apprehen-

here, and the more easily terrified residents of
Naples have not been wholly quiet of mind,
but that is not to be wondered at, with the
ruins of Pompeii only fifteen miles away, and
the volcano that caused the destruction nearer
yet. The tales that have been told, however,
concerning the intensity of the eruption have
stretched the truth.

WILLIAM :. MESICk Of Mancclona.

Prince Otto Won Bismarck, once the
most potential figure i'll whole Europe,
passed away peacefully at his home in
FREDERICKSBURG, Germany, on Satur-
day, July 30, aged 50 years and four
months.
Prince Bismarck belongs to history.
He stands forth the greatest military
figure since Napoleon Bonaparte, and
with his passing is chronicled the last OF
the old guard of whom Gladstone was
conspicuously his antithesis-a man Of
peace Although his death has been
expected for some months, it came with
something of a surprise, if not shock to
the civilized world. In point of brain
power Bismarck was a giant. Nothing
described him better physically than his
famous phrase about men of "blood and
iron" That he became a dominating
power was due to his wonderfully strong
manhood, his wise judgment and fore
thought. He believed in government
by the strong arm, marking out the I'M
elastic bounds of rule and law within
which lines and individual rights and
liberties should be sacred, but Sternly
REFRESHING all theories which looked to-
ward equality in the citizen. While he
spoke favorably Of the system Of govern
ment in the United States he did not
think it at all adapted to Europe. He
regarded republicanism and socialism,
as manifested III Germany, with deadly
hatred 1t can be truly said he never
was a great friend of America. How
ever his name will go down in history
as one of the great builders of empire,
as statesman of wonderful intellect
and power, whose plans were broadly
and wisely laid and carried out with
firmness and success.
