War I'm Indiana.

English. Ind, Feb. 23.- a
desperate fight occurred here at
an early hour this morning be-
tween some Mexican Gypsies
and some citizens, in which
twenty or more were hurt,
though none seriously.
The Gypsies have rented a
camp near town, to remain till
April, and about sixty of the
advance guard have arrived,
with the promise of 500 more,
for the purpose of a religious
ceremony, when they 60 to
some place in Ohio. The fight,
which occurred before day, was
caused by the Spanish-Amerl-

here. The visitors are Spanish
sympathizers. They came of

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
An Unknown Man Seeks Death I'm Front
Of Passing TraIn-Fie Re-
fuses 20 Talk.

A young man, perhaps thirty
years old, made two attempts
at suicide this morning, and
but for the watchfulness and
alacrity of Flagman Eugene
Henderson, at the Broadway
street crossing, would now have
been a mutilated corpse.
After the engine had passed.
the flagman allowed the man to
pass on down the track, and.
going in front of the Santa Fe
depot, he was seen to lie down
with his neck across the rall.
Some men standing near were
startled at the mans actions
and ran to his rescue, pulling
him again from death that was
evidently sought in q fit of des-
peration. He was then taken
to a boarding house near by
and placed in charge of the
proprietor. and will be closely
watched.
A Register reporter called on
the would-be suicide, but he
persistently refused to talk. He
is a good-looking young fellow,
and we'll dressed. and the cause
of the rash act remains a mys-
tery.-Gainesville Register.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The Financier says: The conditions outlined in the analysis of the New York bank statement for December B. indicating an easier money market are re- nected in still more noteworthy degree in the exhibit of the clearing house institutions for the week ending January s. The banks have gained heavily in cash and deposits and the surplus reserve is S6.475,s25 larger than seven days ago. The statement includes the dividend period covering the first of the year. What this means Is shown in the fact that the clearings for the week in New York exceed S1. .000. .00O 900. The expansion of S10 52S. 3GO in deposits ll the ga of Ss 1O1 800 represent the payment Of Inter est which have been made. Part of the m crease, however, can be attributed to the in- terior movement. which is bringing S2 000 0OO into New York every week This money was nrst attracted by the temporary high rates pre- vailing but its return from this time will be a purely normal operation.
 The reserves of the New York banks for years past have been sweled from January well into the spring season by interior remittances the expansion being regulated by current bus- ness conditions. There is no reason for be- heving that the movement will be less than in former years. and the only inference is that money will be easier. As the trade balance in favor of the United States seems to be grow ing, It would not be strange if the investment 0do m 95erng 96e excnange TOY approxmating SEQ ent solely the course of money rates abroad. The Bank o1 England reserve is lower than Tor years, but as a hearty increase is usually made after the beginning of the year it looks as if money in Europe Is following the same course as in the United States. In that case the surplus funds Of this country will have to seek domestic channels for employ ment It need not be repeated that 1t will necessitate most favorable business outlook to absorb the full total Of the money now avail able. The fact that the treasury Is getting on a self-sustAining basis may relieve the situa- tion somewhat bv stopping the steady stream that has been pouring into the market because of continued deficiencies Another fact is the gradual withdrawal of Government deposits s now in New York banks. The demand for loans Is increasing also and will operate to steady

Liverpool showed Ssd advance, winch was hardly up to expecta- tions, and early Argentine news was qulte bearish. The result of these several pieces Of information the creation ot d somewhat bearish feeling at the opening. May Wheat opened 9lAsc to sl7c, against sl 5sc at the close yesterday, and in about half an hour it had got down to gilsq9lAc.

Paris and Antwerp each quoted a moderate advance for the day and that additional bullsh factor Baltimore reported a large quantity of Wheat sold for export after close of Change yester- day and foreign bids to-day at 1c over yester- days bid prices. The latter information, to- gether with the higher quotations from the continent and heavy Atlantic exports caused a rally to s17sc but it quickly slid off again to 9lLc and was at that point ten minutes from the close.

 But the taking up by the Government of the total amount would probably involve the Withdrawal of a sufficient sum in the money marAet to serve quite effectively to steady rates Of interest. The high rate for monsy was re-enforced as a factor of stock market depression by the forebodings expressed by two prominent railroad presidents Monday that there would be no profit in competitive rail road business, there had been none, unless congress would authorize pooling. Recent bull leaders of speculation made rather ostenta- tious display of Encouragement over these ut terances Later developments suggest that the ofhcial trepidation may have been expressed with view to effecting projected Legislation. and that the bull specuiators may have so far overridden the then existing fears as to lay Tn an ample line of stocks. looking to the later disposition of the clouds upon their minds with the rise in prices
 Railroad earnings reported for the week were an effective cure for much of the gloomy apprehension of railroad officials. In the for eign exchange market the feature of the week has been a demand which has been speculative and based on the prevailing low rate of ex- change and the belief that the need for ex- change will grow within the next few weeks.
