USE FOR THEIR MONEY
BANKS ABLE TO ABSORB THE M
1IENsE. ACCUMULATION OF CASH
Deposits Of Over Seven Hundred
Millions Reported by the New
York Clearing House Institutions
Outlook for the Future Is for
Steadier Rntes-Loans Larger

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The Financier
says: The statement of the New York
clearing house banks for the week end
ing Feb. 5. is notable as rejecting the
ability Of the banks to absorb and put
to more or less profitable use the i'm
mense accumulation of funds at this
center. The aggregate deposits of the
sixty-fiVe institutions are now nearly
1874 ,000, 900. What this means will be
better appreciated when 1t is stated
that it IS an increase of S165, 900, 900 over
the same week last year. and s24l ,000-
900 in excess Of the deposit item for the
similar period in 1895.
The loans of the banks now stand
about $633, $780, 900, which is 1885, 600. 900
In excess of the first week in February,
1897. and $185,O00,0 900 higher than report
ed in 1896. Yet the banks now have
in their vaults less than $35, 900, 900
idle cash, IS against $54 500, 900 one year
ago, and SAC, 600 900 two years ago.
Clearly, as regards demand, the bank
ing situation might be a great deal
worse. Even conceding that special
operations count in some part for the
enormous totals, there Is a consider
able margin for legitimate commercial
needs shown in the current statements
from week to week.
The increase in loans for the past six
days was 1884, 100, which is pretty
evenly distributed between eight or ten
leading banks. The expansion in de-
posits was 81. 343, 10O and the banks
gained in cash S2.OOS. OC0. The loan In
crease and the cash addition do not
account for the deposit growth. the
discrepancy amounting to 81, $4,000, but
this is due, perhaps. to the confusing
system of averages employed in making
the statement. The expansion in de-
posits can be traced through a larger
number of banks than usual. the Ma
tional Park leading with over $4,000. 900

to It's credit. The net deposits Of this
one institution are now in excess OF
$4,000, 900.
The banks are gaining heavily in cash
from the interior, although domestic
exchange at important centers shows
decided weakness as compared with
two weeks ago, rejecting the cessation
OF interest remittances to New York.
The payment Of several millions Of
Union Pacific deposits into the treasury
has had no appreCiable effect on the
market but it is to be noted that the
excess reserve Of the banks is down
$S27 1925, and with anything like a con
tinued showing such as made in the
current statement, rates will probably
be steadier In tone. Anything more
than moderately firm basis. however,
seems out of the question for a con-
siderable period.
The reserve investments by American
interests abroad are in the nature OF

made plain by reference to the exist
ing regulations for the government Of
the diplomatic system, in which is to
be found a direction to United States
officers abroad to refuse to recognize
the claims of Japanese to naturaliza-
ton citizenship rights. However, the
regulation was founded upon the old
statute, section 2169, which was couch
ed in terms so vague that varying con-
structiOnS We're placed upon it by the
courts, and the latest view of the gov
eminent, as stated, is that the Japan
csc may apply for naturalization.
This statute seems to limit naturali-
zation to white persons and persons or
African descent. 1t was plainly piece
Of patch work, as it's history reveals,
and an exact application of the test
of language to it, would not, it is held,
serve the real purpose of its authors.
But aside from that, the broad ques-
ton has been raised that the Japanese
are not to be regarded as outside or
the white races, they not being Mon
Solian in the true chronological sense.
II is probably sufficient for the pur-
pose of this explanation of the depart
ment's position to cite these consider
atoms as matter that might readily
account for the failure of the courts to
reach unanimity in the construction Of
this law. There has not been up TO
lIIlS llIIIt, II - Sdlu, dIiy eA pIeSSlOH Oh
opinion on the part of the court of last
resort, the United States supreme
court, and until such an opinion Shall
have been called forth the question
cannot be regarded as settled. When
that opinion is rendered, Of course. the
department Of state will be bound by
it, and meanwhile it has no desire to
pose as a usurper of the rights of the
judicial branch of the government.
AS for, the conditions that will oric~
under the new treaty with Japan, that
goes into effect in 1899 the department
holds that it cOnfers upon the Japan
csc the rights Of favored nations in all
matters. While there does not as yet
exist any naturalization treaty be-
tween Japan and the United States,
this cannot be regarded as a bar to
naturalization, for there are no such
treaties existing with a number of
countries the citizens of which are ad-
mitted to United States citizenship
upon compliance with the laws.

Newton's theories of attraction and

Newtons theories of attraction and
gravitation.
Among many other conclusions I ar
rived at as q result of this first step
was the conception of a self perpetu-
ating light, which 1 was successful in
producing in a small way considerably
over three years ago. In bringing the
light to its present state of perfection
many obstacles have presented them
selves. Special apparatus had to be
invented and constructed all of which
work was retarded by lack of album
dant means.
The light, as 1t is made, would be
an imposSibility, If atoms were drawn
together by an attractive force. The
fact of atoms and masses turning to-
ward each other is not due to an at
traction between them, but to force
behind them, which drives them to-
gether, the force, instead of being a
pull, is a push. AS has been stated be-
fore, a new principal of force is in
volved and the light will stand as a
monument of its truth.
I am aware that the public will re-
ceive this view with incredulity until
the light is placed where ali can see
It, This will be done as soon as ar
engagements are completed. which I
deem necessary for a full protection of
my rights. S. b. Nickum,

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5-ProsDects
for financial legislation in the house Of
representative this session are very
slim, although the banking and cur
rency committee has been wrestling for
weeks with the question. The Repub-
lican members of that body are far
apart, and there was considerable talk
heard around the capitol this afternoon
to the effect that if the bill of the
monetary commission or some sound
financial measure was not soon pre-
scented, the committee on ways and
means would take the responsibility OF
reporting q bill. Public sentiment is
becoming aroused, and letters are pour
ing in from all sections of the country
from business men urging the house to
act.
St Paul speaks out in no uncertain
sound. Hon. William b. Dean, a men,
I. Der of the executive committee OF the
Indianapolis convention. writes under
a6ate of Feb. 8:
The recent action of the senate on the
Teller resolution clearly foreshadows the is
sue of 1900 There will then be but two
par ~ one for good money, gold, the other
for dishonoring and depreciating money,
silver. There can be compromising
escape.
I earnestly hope the house will follow it's
rejection Of the Teller resolution with a
courageous bill on the lines laid down by
the monetary commission and give the
country an inspiration of hope. The peo-
pie expect some positive, unmistakable ac-
ton from the house. =,
Hon. George r. Finch writes on the
same date:

partment who have been engaged in

today to ascertain the ground for the
statement that the Japanese, unless
there was legislation to the contrary
by congress, would be entitled to the
privileges of naturalization, if they so
desired, and are otherwise able to meet
the requirements Of the law.
The officials naturally are reluctant

moreover are not disposed to be put in
the position of laying down legal prin-
clpleS But. in substance, their con-
{ tention is. that, under the laws as they
! exist today, Japanese in the United
States are entitled to naturalization.
1 They freely admit that in some in
stances the United States courts have
taken the ground that such applica-
lions cannot be entertained, notably in
the Boston case, decided June 81, 1894,
/ known as I'm re Saito," but they also
assert that the practice of the courts
has not been by any means uniform in
this matter, and that there are very
many cases where japanese have been
admitted to the rights of naturaliZa-
tion without the slightest objection on
the part of the court.
