Money in Bank

NEW YORK, Dec 1.-THE weekly state
ment of the banks shows the following
changes: Surplus reserve, increased $780,
O75; loans, increased, $6246.5O0; specie, in
creased $3,255600; legal tenders. decreased
s497, 500; deposits, increased s10,14, 100; cir
culation, decreased $4,000. The banks now
hold SIG, ,974, ,495 in excess of the requirements
OF the rs per cent rule.
The Financier says:
The New York clearing house banks
gained s., ,25S, 600 in gold last week. and as
offsetting losses of legals were but $497, 800
the net expansion of $276l 100 In cash pro-
vided a reserve heavy enough for the in
crease of s10,124 100 in deposits brought
about for the most part by the loans ex-
pansion of Sc, ,246, ,5O0 and left the banks with
$3.50, 075 more cash than they reported at the
close of the previous week The state
ment does not differ materially from that
exhibit 1t is favorable from banking
standpoint, as was pointed out In this
analysis last week, in its deduction that the
banks are finding employment for all the
excess cash floating this way. To what
extent the expanding loans reflect domestic
needs is another matter. 1t is highly prob
able, however, that the current increase
came largely from borrowings incident to
the heavy susiness being done on the New
York exchange. At the same time hold
ings of sterling investments are becoming
fifty million are conservative. The latest
trade reports may be interpreted to mean
that the expansion which has been fea-
ture of the statements of the New York
banks for some time past, is not at an end.
Loans are now s7S. .0000 900 larger than on Oc-
tober 1st, and deposits in eleven weeks have
risen almost $105,0OO,000 1t is needless to
say that both items are Tar ahead of any
thing ever known in the history of the
banks. But with this unprecedented
growth, the clearing house institutions to-
day hold about two millions more excess
reserve than reported in October.
The gain in cash for the week is larger
than has been predicted. The interior
movement will become larger as the first
of the year approaches. If this proves
true, we shall probably witness a contin-
uance of the operation which have swelled
the bank totals Of late; otherwise the de-
mand for funds may curtail, to some ex-
tent, the available reserve and conf1den-

imports Some bank presidents are look
ing for firmer money rates after January,
but that they can be maintained is rather
doubtful

A Russian Steamship Line

A contributor to Russian magazine has
published an article setting forth the neces-
sity of organizing a Russian steamship line
on the Pacific ocean, in order to establish
communication between Siberia and the
United States, to connect with the Siberian
railroad. The same author goes on to say:
Foreigners have already established three
new steamship lines having Vladivostock as
terminal point One of these, the Ameri-
can-Japanese, has for its western terminus
San Diego, the most southern port of Cali
fornia, and will work in connection with the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad.
The steamers will also call at Honolulu. The
second, the English Canadian, will work in
connection with the Canadian Pacific Rail
road company, and sail from the cities OF
Vancouver and Victoria. Two of its large
steamers, about 5000 tons each, will run regu-
larly from these cities to HaEodadi and
Vladivostock. The line is controlled by the
Canadian railroad and the Empress line.
The reason for its establishment is said to be
the rapid development of the Russian Pa
cific coast and the Siberian railroad and the
demand for American products, among
others wheat flour, timber and materials
for railroads and factories. The third line
belongs to the North German Lloyd of the
Bremen Steamship company. 1t has not yet
selected its terminus; its directors are hes
itating between San Francisco and Los An
geles. The longer Russia remains inactive
in this direction the smaller are her pros
poets OF occupying the place which is due
her in the transcontinental and oceanic traf-
fic. This inactivity will greatly influence
the future we'll being of the great Siberian
railroad Passengers and mails can reach

About half an hour after the cadets
left the hall Company A, Hibernian
Knights, led by the band, marched
in. They were commanded by Capt.
P. J. Breen. The men were hand
somely uniformed and went through
a Knights drill in very creditable
manner. The Knights were all big,
fine looking fellows. Every move
ment was made as if the company was
run by clock-work. After the drill
Capt. Breen and his men were con-
graduated upon their fine showing.
Then the Knights and the cadets
drilled together, to the delight of the
large crowd.
1t was not until after dark that dane
ing began in earnest. When it did
Andy Ludwig's band was kept busy,
and at no time between 8 o'clock and
midnight did that band get five min
utes' rest.
1t was little after 8 o'clock when
Capt. Thomas Clihes, in the absence
of President Johh A. Murphy, called
for order in the park and introduced
Hon. Matt O'Doherty as the orator
of the day. Mr.. O'Doherty made
one of his mastery speeches. In no
uncertain words he opposed the pro-
posed Anglo American alliance. His
speech in full will be found elsewhere
in these columns.
Mr.. Thomas P. Walsh followed Mr..
O'Doherty in brief but humorous
speech. His remarks caused great
deal of merriment among the ladies.
After that the young folks were
left free to dance to their hearts con-
tent. The dancers owe special vote
of thanks to Mr.. John ]. Lannon, the
music director.

RANDOM J0TTINGS.

1t was a glorious day.
Capt. Breen is every inch true
soldier.
The officers of all the divisions were
in evidence.
P. J. Cusick was in most patriotic
mood all day.
There was happy assemblage in
the dancing hall.
The Ladies' Auxiliary captured all
that came their way.
Ths- cadets would liks+a- cslshsats--
at least once week.
1t was the most pleasant event that
ever transpired at the hill.
Now is the time to send in your
dollar and get this paper for year.
Edward Clancy contributed great
deal to the success of the celebration.
Tom Keenan, was the idol of the
cadets. He entertained the entire
company.
The dancing hall was center of
attraction. The young ladies were
pretty and sprightly.
John H. Hennessy was one of the
most quiet but active members of the
Executive Committee.
The fine impression created by the
Hibernian Knights will result in large
accessions to their rauks.
COL John Barrett was welcomed by
all. He is one of the old, old guard,
though he doesn't look it.
All were pleased to see Messrs.
Cusick and Coleman. They came
direct from the convention.
Regret was expressed when Bernard
7. Kavanaugh was compelled to leave
to attend to his reportorial duties.
William T. Meehan has natural
ability for making things pleasant for
everybody. He was the right man in
the right place.
Lawrence J. Mackey worked long
and hard to make the celebration a
success. Such men know no such
thing as failure.
The officers of the Ladies' Auxiliary
pledged their earnest support, and are
quite enthusiastic in their efforts to
make this publication great success.
Col. Joseph Taylor was in COM
mand, owing to the absence of Presi-
dent Murphy, and most successfully
did he perform the many arduous
duties imposed upon him, in addition
to putting up great drill.
The reception rendered the Ken
lucky Irish American was most graft
flying. Five hundred subscribers in
one day, and assurances of twice as
many more, speak volumes for the
interest of the order in its behalf.
Quite a number of people were dis
appointed in not hearing Mr.. William
M. Lawler address the assemblage.
He is an orator of no mean ability,
but recent affection in his family pre-
vented his carrying out that portion
of the programme.

mainly depends on the staple industry

as well as to many of the minor
places.

To the Hibernians in general, but
to these officers in particular, belongs
the credit for the glorious celebration
of July a. However, the ladies must
not be forgotten, for the good work
done by the Ladies' Auxiliary was
appreciated by every member of the
Ancient Order.
The Ladies' Auxiliary is differed
as follows:
State President-Miss Margaret
O'Connor.
County President-Miss Rose Tay-
lor.
Vice President-Miss Celia Potter.
Treasurer-Miss Mary Kavanaugh.
Financial Secretary-Miss Nellie
Cunningham.
Recording Secretary-Miss Annie
Bane.
The Ladies' Auxiliary had charge
IF f the efnsSfHfIs7its ami. sep and
the happy manner in which they at
tended to the wants of their guests
added great deal to the pleasure of
the occasion.
The object of the auxiliary is the
elevation morally and socially of all
women of the Irish race. The work
of this body is performed quietly and
has already resulted in untold good.
For many years past the Ancient
Order of Hibernians have celebrated
the Fourth of July with picnic at
Phoenix Hill Park. Other societies
have tried in vain to secure the park
on that day, but the park managers
have alwys given the Ancient Order
the preference. The park comes high,
but they must have it. This year was
no exception. They wanted the park
and they got it regardless of expense.
Every feature of the day was success
full. Providence seemed 10 favor the
order on this last Fourth. The day
was bright and clear. Not cloud
was in the sky and the weather was
Ijust cool enough. Many people ar
rived at the park before noon, but it
was not until about 8 o'clock that the
crowds began to pour in. From that
time until 10 o'clock at night steady
stream of humanity poured into the
grounds.
The first feature of the celebration
was the drill by St. Patrick's Cadets.
These cadets were boys, forty in num-
Der, from St. Patrick's parochial
school. They were neatly uniformed
and well drilled. Headed by band
of music the boys marched into the
big hall and went through various
evolutions in manner that would
reflect credit on some of the volunteer
companies that have organized to fight
for Uncle Sam. The officers were.
Captain--Frank Kline.
First Lieutenant-George Thomp-
son.
Second Lieutenant-Matt p. Phil
lips.
Third Lieutenant-Thomas Kee-
nan.
Fourth Lieutenant-John Sanders.
The drill was heartily applauded by
the large crowd. Not one of the boys
is over fourteen years of age. They
are credit to Brother Gabriel, their
organizer and drill master. The chap
lains of the company are Very Rev.
Father Gambon and Rev. Father Kel-
leher.

HURRAH FOR THE NEXT THAT DIES.

cup, and by jest and song to divert their though
md irrevocable fate which each one knew awaited
this poem died almost before the echoes of "Hu,
at Dies" had ceased to reverberate, and in less t
ember of the club had crossed the 'sabe shore"
We meet beneath the sounding rafter,
The walls around are bare;
AS they shout to our peals of laughter
1t seems the dead are there;
But stand to your glasses steady,
We drink to our comrades eyes;
Quaff cup to the dead already
And hurrah for the next that dies.
Not here are the goblets cleaning,
Not here is the vintage sweet;
It's cold as our hearts are growing
And dark as the doom we meet
But stand to your glasses steady,
And sQGsshs hlGfs rise;
cup to the dead already,
Hurrah for the next that dies.
Not sigh for the fate that darkles,
Not tear for the friends who sink;
Wen fall mid the wine-cups sparkles
AS mute as the wine we drink.
So stand to your glasses steady,
lis that respite buys;
One cup to the dead already,
Hurrah for the next that dies.
Time was when we laughed at Others
We thought we were wiser then;
Hal hal let them think of mothers
Who hope to see them again.
MOI stand to your glasses steady,
The thoughtless are here the wise;
cup to the dead already,
Hurrah for the next that dies.
There's many hand that's shaking,
There's many cheek that's sunk
But soon, though our hearts are breaking,
They'll burn with the wine we've drunk
So stand to your glasses steady,
The thoughtless are here the wise;
cup to the dead already,
Hurrah for the next that dies.
There's mist on the glass congealing-
IT'S the hurricanes fiery BREATH
And thus does the warmth of feeling
Turn ice in the grasp Of death.
Hol stand to your glasses steady,
For the moment the vapor flies;
cup to the dead already
And hurrah for the next that dies.
Who breads to the dust returning2
Who shrinks from the fatal shore
Where the high and naughty yearning
OF the soul shall sting no more?
No; stand to your glasses steady,
The world is world of lies
cup to the dead already,
Hurrah for the next that dies.
Cut off from the land that bore us,
Betrayed by the land we find
Where the brightest have gone before us,
And the dullest remain behind.
Stand stand to your glasses steady,
IT'S all we have left to prize;
A cup 10 the dead already,
Hurrah for the next that dies.
