During the progress of the war the
affair of the Maine has been subordin,
ated in public interest to the events in
which the American army and navy
were participating, nor was the matter
mentioned, SO far as the public knows,
in the preliminary peace negotiations.
1t is not to be supposed, however, that
the matter is to be ignored. 1t GER
tainly ought not TO be. The American
members of the peace commission,
when that body convenes in Paris, must
remember the Maine and insist upon
an indemnity for the loss Of that battle
ship, and also for every American sail

ton OF that vessel Chicago Record.

New York, June 1.-The Financier says:
 The New York banks contrary to all ex- petitions seem to have found use for all the money they received from various sources last week. It had been confidently predicted that the statement for the seven days ending June 4, would show large gain in surplus reserve, but the actual facts as revealed by the clearing house totals are that while cash increased $1 ,S9S 400, the ex- panson in deposits of SIS, 200 swelled the reserve requirements over S',3oOOOO, bringing about a decrease In surplus hcold- aings of $1 ,450900. Naturally such a result tends to place the money market on firmer bases, although excess cash amount ing to more than fifty two millions in bank vaults here, there is little liklihood that rates will attan higher level The heavy increase of $11 ,S90 300 in loans Is an encour- aging feature. The increase in cash was smaller than conditipons supposedly called for and deducting the gain of 100000 in specie and legals which one bank made, the statement shows that the remaining sixty four banks have one million more In cash on hand than reported at the close Of the previous week. The banks are rapidly re- gaining the hgh point attaned prevous to the openng of March. Since April 30 they have added $31 500 900 to their loans, while deposits are nearly $51 ,OOOO.0OO larger. The loan total for the current week, however, is forty millions lower than that reported on February 26 and the deposits are smaller by twenty millions than on the same date. The loan decrease represents in large part sterling bills sold to expedite gold imports, whle the material deficiency in the de- crease in deposits as compared with loans is evidence of gold received and still held. It also shows in a measure the extent of the return interior movement, and the heavy disbursement by the government since the beginning of the war.
