NEVER WERE so HEAVY.
Bank Clearings Indicate the COuntry's
business Is Immense.

NEW YORK, March 1.-Bradstreet's says:
February bank clearings as reported to
BradstIeets point to an immense volume
OF business done in the country during the
past month. The total clearngs, though
naturally enough, smaller than January s
record-breaking totals, were evidently SO
only because Of February being a short
month and because of holidays still further
curtailing the time available for business
transactions, for the reason that the aver
age daily clearings were larger than those
of January, and the monthly total was
heavier not only than for any previous
February on record, but larger than most
months Of normal years. The total clear
ings of seventy-seven cities of the United
States for the month aggregated s. $50, 200, :
600, smaller by per cent than those of
January, but larger by 81 per cent. than
February last year, 73 per cent. in excess
of the low-water mark of 1894 and ga per
cent. larger than in 1892, the heaviest Feb
ruary on record. For the two months of
1888 the total clearings aggregated $11, 527,-
100000 total larger by AZ per cent than
the corresponding period of last year, SO
per cent. larger than 1894 and nearly per
cent. larger than the first two months of
1893, period of very heavy totals. Only
two cities Of the country show decreases
as compared with February of last year.

no BE PUT INTO COMMISSION.
The MiantOnOmah and the Khatadin
VIII Soon Re In Service.


WASHINGTON, March 1.-The vessel
movements announced at the Navy Depart
ment during the day were devoid of sig
nificance. Orders went out late this after
noon to put the ironclads Miantonomah and
Katahdin into commission on the 10th inst.
They are now at the League Island navy
yard, where they have been laid up for a
year or two past. 1t is said at the depart
ment that the purpose of putting them in
commission is to make berths for the sur
vivors of the Maine now at Key West wait
ing on the court of inquiry, which, without
doubt, will have finished with them by the
10th inst. The Miantonomah is a formid-
able double turreted monitor, carrying four
ten-inch guns. She is Of $3.50 tons dis
placement, and steams 1O1A knots an hour.
In addition to her main battery she carries
a good secondary battery of rapid-f1re guns,
and her turrets are clad with eleven-and-a-
haf-inch armor. Her commander has not
yet been definitely settled, but the re-
mainder of her officers will be as follows:
Lieutenant Commander Wilson, executive
officer; Lieutenant Underwood, navigator;
Lieutenants Hogg, Gill and Ensign Cole
man, watch officers; passed assistant sur
geon, Weaver; chief engineer, Parks
The Katahdin, otherwise known as the
Ammen ram, is a freak in naval archi-
lecture, and although opinions are divided
as to her qualities there is little doubt that
her presence in any harbor would make an
enemy anxious. She lies mostly under
water, with a turtle back of steel varying
in thickness from two and half inches to
six inches and the theory of her designer,
Admiral Ammen was that this armor plate
could not be struck directly by shot from
another vessel, and that any such shot
would be harmlessly detected by the slop-
ing steel deck In action the coming tower
and smoke stack are about all Of the ship
that would present mark. The former is
made of steel eighteen inches thick. The
Katahdin is a ram pure and simple, having
in the way of weapons of offense nothing
except her sharp steel beak and few small
rapid-fire guns to keep off boarders or tor
pedo boats. When she was designed her
speed was placed at very high mark, but
she did not realize expectations, owing to
her peculiar obstructive underwater model.
Her personnel will be as follows: Captain,
Commander Wilde, at present naval secre-
tary of the lighthouse board; executive Of
ficer. Lieutenant Lowe; navigator, Lieuten-
ant Culver; Chief Engineer Reig and En-
sign Campbell. The two vessels have crews
respectively Of $50 and 80 men.

the battle ship Maine, although they con-
tend that the ''jingo newspapers have dan
gerous influence" The Temps is inclined TO
be pessimistic. 1t refers to the warike
spirit of the Americans and the pride of the
Spaniards, who, if an indemnity were de-
manded in case the disaster proves to be
the result of crime, might refuse point
blank. haughtily indignant at the thought
that any one could suppose them guilty."
and continues: "Cuba is q royal morseI
which temps people intoxicated by their
strength, and convinced that Monroeism is
the Alpha and Omega of international law
But it is still to be hoped that the conserva-
tive forces are so hopeful that they will at
the last moment stop the people and. the
government on the threshold of an adven-
ture which would be not only big with the
gravest consequences, from an International
point of view, but which might induce at
home a sort of revolution and the develop
ment of the most dreadful phase of Caesar
ism, that evil which gnaws the vitals of
every democracy"

NEGOTIATIONS WITH SPAIN.
No Date Fixed for Ending Cuban War
Commercial Treaties.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Concerning
the published reports that the limitation of
time suggested by the United States to
Spain for the pacifieation Of Cuba expired
to-day, March /, and that the Spanish gov
ernment was now earnestly negotiating at
Washington to secure a two months extern
sion of the time, an official whose posi-
tion makes him completely familiar with all
such negotiations, said: THE report is alb
solutely false in every particular. No time
limit expires to-day or at any other speci-
fed date, and for that reason there are no
negotiations in progress or contemplated
for a two months extension or for any
other extension The report is an invention
out and OUT
The recent negotiations between the
United States and Spain have been con-
fined to the proposed commercial arrange
ment between this country and Spain and
also between this country and Cuba. The
negotiations were carried we'll along by
Minister Woodford and Senior Polo Ber-
nabe, the new minister of Spain. The lat
ter sailed from Gibraltar yesterday and it
is understood that he has with him the
draft of the new arrangement with Spain.
There will be two distinct conventions,
one between the United States and SPAIN
concerning their commercial exchanges and
the other relating exclusively to the trade
between Cuba and the United States Under
the autonomous plan granted to Cuba the
Spanish government has given the Cubans
the right to name their own tariff ar
rangements with the United States sub
ject to approval of the imperial govern
ment. Under this authority the autonomous
Cabinet has named a commissioner to come
to Washington and conclude the agree
ment. He is expected about the time that
the new Spanish minister arrives, so that
the negotiation of both agreements will
proceed together. AS the United States can
not deal directly with Cuba. owing to her
colonial status, the commercial agreement
nominally will be between the United
States and Spain, although the terms will
be made by Cuban autonomists and their
commissioner. 1t will be under the reci-
procity clause of the Dingley tariff act,
which permits a 20 per cent reduction of
duty in exchange for concessions to the
United States. The reductions affecting
Cuba would be mainly those on raw sugar,
while the equivalent reductions for the
United States would be mainly on flour,
breadstuffs, manufactured goods and ma
chinery.
Senor Du Bose called at the State Depart
ment to-day and called attention to the ar
rival of the Dauntless at Jacksonville and
the evidences of her expeditionary trip. The
Spanish authorities are not likely to press
the matter, however, as they say they are
content to place such information as they
have at the disposition of the United States
authorities and allow the latter to take
such course as they see fit.

ONTARIO ELECTIONS.
liberals Defeated After Being in Pow
er Twenty-Five Years.

TORONTO, March 1--GeneraI elections
.VF the Ontario Legislature took place
N'roughout the province to-day and re-
euIted IN virtual if not actual defeat for
'he Liberal government, which has held
Fo"ef for more than twenty-five years. The
contest has been very exciting the Con-
serVative leader, ]. p. Whitney, being a
Young man and a new leader, while A. s.
hardy, the premier, was the successor of
or oliver Mowatt, now lieutenant governor
OF ontario. The complexion of the last
-1ouse was: Liberals, So; Conservatives, q; ;
FSstrons Of Industry, II; Independents, g.
Hhe Patrons have been practically branch
Oh the Liberal party, so that the govern
Hlent has had majority of thirty or more.
The returns tonight Indicate a great re-
Vuision of feeling. In the 81 constituencies
eiecuons took place to-day in IS, the other
Oeing postponed. In all but two or three
complete returns are in, with the following
results: Conservatives elected, 46; Liberals,
i4i In doubt, 8. The probabilities favor q
sllght Conservative majority Two Cabinet
ministers have been defeated, John Dryden,
minister Of agriculture, and j. NJ. Gibson,
commissioner of crown lands. The result is

with the request Secretary Long has di-
rected Naval Constructor Hoover and Car
penter Helm to report to the court at Key
West. 1t is expected that they will go to
Havana when the court returns there and
from their familiarity with the structure OF
the Maine, on which both of those men
worked when she was built Ill the New
York navy yards. they will be of great
assistance not only in suggesting easy
methods of work for the divers, but also
in identifying portions of the wreck
The latter consideration is one of the
greatest Importance in view of the state
ments that have come from Havana to the
effect that some OF the ships bottom plates
have been found in the debris above water.
1t is said at the department that if this
is true the fact will be of Importance. But,
1t Is added, it would not be necessarily con-
elusive evidence as to the source of the
explosion, for it is conceivable that as the
oeck was blown up it might easily have
pulled Up with it some of the frames and
bottom plating, which are rigidly attached
oy rivets. Without doubt the two experts
VIII be much better qualified than the line
ohicers or divers to identify any such piece
of plate.
No orders have gone out from the depart
and the officials stamp as without founda-
ton the report that the squadron was yes-
terday ordered to be held in readiness to
sail for Havana. Likewise it is said that
no selection has yet been made of a cruiser
TO proceed to Havana, but it is likely in
case the court of inquiry should desire to
make the return trip to Havana in a
cruiser, that Admiral Sicard would be al
lowed to make his own selection from
among the vessels of his fleet.
NO adyices have been received at either
the State or Navy Department that would
warrant the statement that the Spanish Of
hcials in Havana have attempted to inter
pose any obstacles to the prosecution of
the work of the wreckers on the Maine s
null. 1t is said that the very last phase of
thls matter was sent out in the published
dispatch of Assistant Secretary Day, au-
thorlzing the Spanish government to pros
eeute an independent investigation by its
own divers into the cause of the loss of
the Maine. The department has not with
drawn that permission.
The only word received by the Navy De-
partment from Havana came late tonight
In the following telegram from CAPTAIN
Slgsoee Bache leaves to-day for Tortugas
WlEn all wounded men now here, five in all,
as follows: Mattison, Cabill Allen, Web
Der and Mack. All able to walk except
Mattlson, whose jaw was broken. Bache
takes one unrecognized body. Will prob
ably take four wounded men from Tortugas
to Key West. Bache will report to the
flagship Thursday before entering Key
West. Cannot tell when more bodies may
be expected at Key West, but Bache should
return promptly"

NEW YORK, March 1.-The special train
over the Pennsylvania Railroad carrying
the reindeer and attendants which were in
tended for the proposed government relief
expedition left Jersey City tonight for Sc
attle The train consisted of three transit
sleeping cars, two cooking and eating cars,
ten box cars, loaded with provisions for the
deer, and twenty-six stock cars. The train
moved in two sections. There were 11S per-
sons in the party Five hundred and twen-
ty-nine reindeer, III excellent condition
after twenty-four hours rest on land, filed
the stock cars comfortably. Each car con-
tanned from twenty to thirty deer. The
three sleeping cars and two cabooses afford
ample space for the human end of the ex-
pedition and there is supply of provisions
and fine facilities for cooking and serving
the meals.
The train viii be run on special sched-
ule. The rate has been fixed at thirty miles
an hour on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
which means thirty-hve hours from Jersey
CITY to Chicago, and at the same rate
throughout about five and a half days to
Seattle. 1t is intended TO make the trip
without any more than the ordinary stop
pages of a first-class train, unless the rein
deer should prove poor travellers on land.
This is the most composite shipment that
ever PASSED over the continent.

NO RELIEF EXPEDITION
GOVERNMENT WILL NOT SEND PRO-
VISIONS TO THE KLONDIKE.
Reindeer Purchased In LapIand. and
Now En- Route to Seattle, VIII
Probably He Sold.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The War De-
partment has decided to abandon its expe-
dition for the relief of the miners in the
Klondike country, because the conclusion
has been reached that no necessity exists
for 1t. Secretary Alger has written a letter
to Senator Hawley, chairman of the Senate
committee on military affairs, explaining
the departments position, and asking that
Congress take action by joint resolution au-
thorizing the department to dispose of the
supplies purchased for the expedition, in
cluding the reindeer which have just ar
rived from Norway, and to abandon the
project entirely. In his letter Secretary
Alger says the conditions on the Yukon
have changed so as to render the expedition
unnecessary, and that General Miles and
General Merritt both agree with him. He is
also advised to this effect by the Canadian
minister of the interior. Later advices than
those received last December, when the ex-
pedition was decided on, indicate, he says,
that the miners are in no danger of suffer-
ing, and he thinks the great crowds Of
prospectors now going in over Dyea pass
will carry sufficient provisions to divide
with the miners in case they need assist
ance. General Alger expressed the opinion
that the reindeer can be sold at price suf-
ficient to reimburse the government for
their cost. He says he has been offered 500
each for one hundred of them. This amount
is above the cost price. He also states that
the Interior Department is anxious to take
charge of the animals. He also asks for
authority to sell the supplies purchased for
the expedition. The military committee
met to-day, but did not act on the request.

ANXIETY AT MADRID.
Spanish "YeIIOw" JingOes Trying to

Spanish NYeIIOW" JingOes Trying to
Provoke u War with This Country.
MADRID March 1.-Greater anxiety is
visible here in regard to the naval court of
inquiry into the loss of the battle ship
Maine than was apparent week ago. The
constant rumors of possible hostilities are
harassing and weakening the government,
and they are also trying the patience of the
public. The lingo" papers publish ex-
haustive dispatches from New York and
Washington to the effect that the relations
between the United States and Spain are
hourly becoming more strained and attrib-
uting to President Mckinley a series of
anti-Spanish declarations. Admiral Ber-
majo, the minister of marine, is actively
seeking the best means to procure addi-
tional war ships.
The premier, Senior Sagasta, however, is
quoted in an interview as saying that he
expects very satisfactory news from Cuba
before April. In the course of the same in
terview Senior Sagasta said: ''In view of
the increase in the price of grain in Spain,
the government has decided to reduce the
import duties" A decree on this subject is
rnomentarily expected. A meeting of the
Cabinet has been arranged for tomorrow.
1t is believed this step will be taken owing
20 the receipt Of more reasSuring news from
the United States.
FL Globe, discussing the political situa-
ton, on Feb % said: Nothing could be
more promising than the present relations
between the two nations. General Wood
