perature down in the berth deck is
somewhere near 120 degrees and the
port holes closed, when the waves are
too high, sleep is practically out of the

for chance to refresh themselves with
the salt water. Most Of the boys sleep
on the upper deck under the awnings,

there.
All the ships have had more or less
trouble except our own. Considering
everything the good luck Of the Thir-
teenth regiment SO far has been re-
markable, especially when one consid-
ers the number of our regiment, and

number appears. For instance, at
! Camp Ramsey we had thirteen posts

| captain Of each company received thir-
| teen 500 gold pieces. On board ship
| the guard was again divided into thir-
| teen posts, and has been so during the
| trip so far. And still not an accident.

fleet, there being at present no serious
case of Illness on board.

THE NATIONAL BANKS.
A Year of Growth and Expansion Of
Business.

MIR. Dawes, the controller OF the cur
rency, has made the following statement
regarding the general condition of national
banks at the close of the fiscal year:
The past year has been one Of growth
and expansion in the business of the ma
tional banks Of the country. as reports of
their present condition. compared with for
mer reports, clearly indicate. The individ-
ual deposits of the banks, which on July
%. 1897. were sl,770, $50. $50, reached on
May 8, 1898. the sum of 81 ,999, 30s. 43s. and
the five statements called for during the
past year show that the rate of gain was
quite uniform. The declaration Of war did
not stop this gain, the increase between
February IS and May of this year being
S16,64I sos, and the individual deposits Of
the national banks Of the United States
now stand at the highest point in the his
tory of the system.
THE expansion in loans since May IA.
1897. has been sta. us. 365.
The concurrent expansion In the loans
and individual deposits of our banking sys-
tenn is the best possible evidence of grow
ing confidence In the business and banking
world. Increasing deposits with contract
ing loans, or decreasing deposits with in
creesing loans, are conditions which may
exist without being considered as necessari-
ly indicating prosperous conditions. but the
conjunction of a steady increase I'm loans
without exception the evidence of marked
increase in the activity of profitable busi-
ness exchanges of the country and its gem
