WEEKLY REVIEW OF FINANCE
STATEMENT OF THE ASSOCIATED
BANKS.
Decrease In Surplus Reserve-Excess
Money In Banks Now Down to
$25, 1888, $50.

New York, Feb. 19.-The weekly bank
statement shows the following changes:
Surplus reserve, decrease, $6,74S, 500;
loans, increase. s7,7OS, 500; specie, in
crease, $1,S66.1 legal tenders, de-
crease. $S.645.50O; deposits. decrease,
1925, 500; circulation, decrease, S1S6,6O0.
The banks now hold S25, SIS, $50 in eX-
cess of the requirements of the % per
cent rule.
New York. Feb. 19.-The Financier
says: The statement of the associated
banks for the week ending Feb. 10 is
remarkable for its loan and cash show
ings. Ordinarily an increase of $7,01S,-
500 in loans is accompanied by pro-
pcrtionate expansion in the deposits,
but in the current statement deposits
are also stationary, showing a decrease
of $136,600. On the other hand, there
was a loss of Sc, rs, 400 in cash, the gain
of 81 $3.50, 100 in specie having been off
set by a decrease of IS, 345,500 in legal
tenders.
Where this money went is somewhat
problematical, but the statement ana
lyzed as to individual changes shows
ore large bank to have lost nearly 3d.
COO, 900 in cash. Its loans remain at
nearly the same figure previously re-
So, O0O, 900.
Three of the other large banks seem
to have lost $4,000, 900 in cash, thus ac-
counting for the total change of the
week.
The only inference is that the cash is
loaned, or an amount as large has
grown out of banks, since it does not
show in the deposits, and the increase
in loans and the decrease in cash al
most exactly offset each other. AS the
requirements for the week were
not affected by heavy deposit changes,
the loss in cash reduces the surplus re-
serve by almost the same amount
drawn out of banks. The excess money
in bank is now down to SIS, 6SS, $50, an
amount about almost one-half as large
as reported for the same week last
year. Since January 29 this year the
loss in reserve has been SO, ZOO, 600, while
deposits have increased $4,000, 600, and
loans $4,000, coo. In other words. loans
are expanding faster than deposits and
cash is increasing, as q result. AL
though the latter has been the case
for only one week, it is significant as
that the flow of money to this
center has been checked to meet grow
ing demands at interior points. New
York exchange at nearly all domestic
centers is at discount, and the actual
of currency to the banks in
a number of cities widely separated is a
healthful indication of better trade con-
If it continues. and the out
look is that it will, a firmer mo2ey
market will be only a natural re-
suit

To this Colonel Picouart replied: Il

This caused General Pellieux to re
mark: He has just played with the
case and played with it against my Will
NJ Laborie began 10 comment upon
these statements, but the presiding judge
threatened him with disciplinary punish
ment if he did not cease talking
The action OF the court caused a row
in the back of the court room and M.
Laborie passionately addressed the dis

to a staff officer. Several witnesses. in
Guiding Anatole France. testified to NJ.
Zola's courage and good faith.
The court announced that the council
of ministers had declined TO authorize Cen
eral BillOt, the secretary of war. to testify
and the defense made the announcement
that 1t would not call any more witnesses.
The court then adjourned until Monday.
The case will conclude on Wednesday.
After the lola trial the socialist MEM
bers of the chamber of deputies will pub
lish a protest against the attitude of the
officers who were called as witnesses.

cablegram to the Evening World from
Sylvester Scove.. under today's date
from Havana. via Key West. says:
The concensus of opinion of those
who have studied the wreck closely is
now that the explosion was caused by
a submarine mine. The forward maya
zine, it is now generally supposed, is
intact: also the forward six-inch mag

This leaves only a few saluting
charges and a few small caliber shells
in the pilot house which could have
possibly exploded aboard the ship.
At the same time the fearful damage
is too big for any but an extremely

but if it were a submarine mine, no

SENSIBLE INQUIRY.
Why Build Ships That May Blow Up
Any Timer

Washington, Feb. 19.-While the dis
aster 10 the Maine has created a tenn
per in the house in favor of liberal ap-
preparations for the navy, and while it
is undoubtedly true that the house in
its present frame of mind would not
hesitate to vote for two rev battle
ships, the temper is Dredicated upon
the theory that the Maine was blown
up by external agencies. IF the result
of the official inquiry should develop
the fact beyond peradventure that the
ships magazine exploded from fire or
other cause within her, it is believed a
sentiment in congress will be created
against the expenditure of millions in
the construction of WarShipS that may
blow up at any time. 1t seems likely
that congressional investigation will
follow a report from the board OF in
quiry attributing the loss of the Maine
to an EXPLOSION of her magazine. No
resolution for this purpose has yet
been introduced in the house. how
ever.
A prominent member of the house
naval committee said he was absolute
~ amazed when ne learned that the
Names coal bunkers abutted the
magazine, with only q thin partition
between. when 1 learned of the fire
in the coal iounkers of the Cincinnati
which charred the boxes in which the
shells in her magazine were stored"
said he, 4 assumed, of course, that it
was the duty of the navy department
officials to effect such changes as
would remove the danger. The con-
struction of a second bulkhead, leaving
an air passage between the bunkeSS
and the magazine, would have remOv-
ed his danger. Now 1 find that moth
ing was done either to correct the de-
feet in the Cincinnati or any other
ship. We probably viii ascertain how
many OF our ships are subject to this
danger, but 1 do not know whether it
is advisable to have a congressional
inquiry"

FACT COMMENTED ON.
No Dead Fish Found After the Maine
Explosion.

Havana, Feb. 19.-Five bodies were
recovered in the harbor today near the
wreck, but only one of them-that of
Tennis recognizable. Consul
General Lee will reward the fireman,
Ugarte, who, at the risk of his own life,
made a gallant rescue of a drowning
soldier. Ugarte, who was badly burned
about the head, Dersevered until he
succeeded in saving the drowning man.
He viii be decorated by his battalion
chief, and by the municipality of Ha-
vana.
1t is commonly commented here that
no dead fish were found in the harbor
after the disaster, and this fact is look
ed on as showing that the explosion
occurred on board the Maine, and rot
outside. as in the latter case many fish
would have been killed by the concus-
sion.
Captain Sigsbee today said to the
Associated Press CORES pOndent that the
men at work about the Maine are ex-
pert divers, but that the work requires
time and patience. Most of the day was
spent in getting the divers accustomed
to the work, and nothing of Importance
was found.
A careful search viii be made for the
Names logbook. which will be of great
Importance to the court of inquiry. 1t
is yet too soon TO form any just opin-
ion as TO what the divers will be able
to recover.
The day has been a tranquil one in
Havana. Rear Admiral Manterola re-
turned the visit of the consul general
and Captain Sigsbce this afternoon.

"MAHATMA" FAILED THEM.
Theosophical Opponents of Mrs.
Tingley Came to Grief

I1nSley Came to Grief.
Chicago. Feb. 19.-The Universal
Brotherhood, which was, until its re-
organization yesterday, known as the
International Philosophical society, fin
ished its business today and adjourned.
Mrs. Tingley fixed her grip on the lead
ership of the brotherhood and named
her cabinet.
The opposition to Mrs. Tingley, head
ed by +. 7. Hargrove, came to the
convention, not recognizing Mrs. Ting
ley as the legitimate successor of W.
Q. Judge.
To refuse the acknowledgment of her
supreme authority would, therefore
have been equivalent to reconciliation of
theosophy. Hargrove's campaign for
the presidency resulted in his over
whelming defeat and in this connection
curious story is told. 1t is to the eff
feet that the Hargrove faction based
his candidacy on the revelation through
a ''Mahatma" that Mrs. Tingley was
about to die. According to the ''reve-
lation," it is said, Mrs Tingley should
have died before the convention as
sembled. but her failure to do so and
her evidence of good health, upset, it is
said, all the calculations of the opposi-
ton.
The Hargrove adherents refuse, how
ever, to surrender their position, and
have issued a protest against the action
of the main body, saying that the Off
GERS of the society have voted them
selves out of office, and presenting a
proposition to the branches of the So
ciety calling another convention in
three months. Nothing was said at the
conference against Mrs. Tingley, but
it was claimed that under the constitu-
ton. no change could be made in the
without three months no.
tice, so that the absorption of the con-
vention by the brotherhood left the So
ciety in charge of the opposition.
