which seems to come from Morgan
sources is that the present intention of
the managers of the property Is to pay l
per cent as was done last year. South

advance, despite the fact that the cold
weather in the South has destroyed al
probability of trouble from yellow fever.

there is no need for speedy action.
6. To continue negotiations with the au-
economist conservatives on reciprocity

Washington, Dec. 30.-President
McKinley's frequent use of the pardon
ing power in behalf of violators of the
banking laws has been much disc ussed.
The cry is going up, especially from
the communities that have suffered by
the crimes of the pardoned bankwreck-
ers, that the effect of his ieniency is
beginning to be apparent.
In the first nine months of President
Cleveland's second Administration he
pard oned three violators of the bank
ing laws.
In nine months of President McKin-
ley's Administration he has pard oned
twelve bankwreckers.
That is, McKinley's comparative
record is four to one.

the present time:
