our American POLICY.

The policy of this country regarding
foreign complications seems likely to
remain conservative. The Monroe doc
trine will be sustained. but patience
and prudence in official quarters will
restrain public opinion. The wisest
and most prudent course for the rheu-
matte and malarious Is to use Hos

complains particularly of the seas.
However, there was aboard. Jolly
lot of young fellows from the States,
who kept every one from thinking of
the roughness of the weather. They
are all stopping at the Hawaiian hotel
and their names may be found in the
passenger list. They are all down
here to see the country and when this
has been accomplished, will return to
the States, from which they hail.

San Francisco.

San Francisco.
a short time ago the Hawaiian club,
a band of native singers, similar to the
Quintette club, received an offer from
the Orpheum company of San Francis
ca TO go to that city to play and sing.
The boys wrote back for information
desired and they are waiting to hear
further particulars.
In the meantime, the business of ar
ranging with the Orpheum company
was put in the hands of John Wilson,
who left for San Francisco on the Aus
tralia yesterday.
The boys are very anxious to go, and
should arrangements be made, they
will fill three months engagement in
San Francisco. After that they may
make trip farther east.
The men who, up to date, are sure of
going, are the following: J. Shaw, first
tenor and ukulele; J. Edwards, second
tenor and taro patch fiddle; B. Jones,
first bass and guitar; Geo. Maxwell,
second bass and guitar An effort will
be made, in case the arrangements are
satisfactory, to secure the services of
Tom Sylvia, who will play the violin,
and Mekia, who will handle the flute.

ASSOCIATED BANKS STATEMENT,

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The New York Finan- cier says of the weekly bank statement; since July the clearing house banks of New York city have reduced their cash reserves over SIS. GOO coo. In the period, which em- braces only three weeks. they have increased their loans S14 0oo no and their deposits have fallen off about s9 600. GOO. The cash reductions have been due altogether to operations with the Treasury, since the movement Of the in- terior still continues. The statement there fore in its changes shows the enects or financing the new loan, and as the Treasury has received in cash for small subscriptions nearly or quite half the amount Of the entire loan. there seems to be no cause for further disturbance in the money market. The remain ing alIotments of Sl00, 000, coo will probably be financed by extending payments over a short period Treasury deficits on one and counter acting the receipts from the new bonds In the meantime the designation of certain banks as Repositories for Government funds will prevent the locking up of q large amount of cash in the Treasury. Of course If all the remaining subscriptions were paid in one sum the effect might temporarily tighten the money market. but this Is not anticipated. The current statement shows the first decrease in loans since the first week In May. The loss appears to be distributed we'll throughout the list in small amounts and reflects probably liquidation of mercantile accounts. The mar ket for call paper at present is very inactive, new business being less than expiring maturi- ties.

THE AFRIDI AS A FIGHTER.

The Times of India, in reviewing the present situation on the frontier, deals with the value of the Afridi as fight ing man. It says: Much has been said about the Afridi, and we have al ways been led to believe that he is the finest fighting material that the iron tier produces. Since the operations at the close of last year. we think that this opinion has undergone somewhat of a change and most men who took part in the campaign into Tirah have not the same opinion with which they started as to the worth of the Afridi as a fighting man. That he has won derful eye to a country, and is a mag nificent shot, cannot be denied, but it Is doubtful If he has the sterling fight ing qualities of the Sikh for instance, even when we'll led; indifferently led he certainly has not. He Is wanting in that dash and stolid indifference to harm which makes the reliable fight ing man. The Tirah campaign has, think I can safely say, found the Afridi much more deficient in dash than the Swat and Bajouri men, infinitely worse armed and considered infinitely less warlike. Of course the argument may be used that 1t is soldierly qual- tty to do as much damage as you can at minimum of risk to oneself That is so, and in the harassing tactics the Afridis scored heavily, but they were absolutely wanting in that dash which would have, if successful had decided results. They harassed all they knew, but the united effect was small where as If they had had sufficient heart they could have made bid for the annihi- lation of many detached portions of the invading force '"

Prunes are meeting with improved de- mand in New York, as will be seen by the fol- lowing extract from the Commercial:
 California Prunes are exciting some inter est. owing to larger demand for medium sizes for outside hotel and boarding-house sections is entirely over. and an increase in demand for Prunes always follows As a con sequence of the slightly enlarged inquiry there is frmer feeling among jobbers and more inquiry for supplies. Just what the result may be Is yet uncertain, but 1t is understood that supplies are practically exhausted, and there bids fair to be slight advance under pres of increased demand"
 In the local market buyers are steadily ad- vancing their bids for new Prunes. but with out effect, holders and growers are not selling. Current bids are 3MQ3A for the four sizes.
