THE cause of this unusual circumstance
is that the volume of business done
throughout the country since the cleo
ton of Mr.. Mckinley to the presidency
has grown to such an immense extent and
the demand from Europe has been so heavy
that the banks of New York have found
themselves unable TO supply taeir local
calls and needed outside aid to. relieve
them The borrowers were reluctant 10
have to accept money from Seattle and
the Pacific coast. but otherwise would have
probably been seriously handicapped. and
therefore had no recourse. as this was the
only available supply market.
The Far West Is the last place New York
will go for money, and that IL has had to
come in this instance is good indication
of the straits TO which The Gothamites
must have been reduced. The wes, has
found Il necessary for many years TO go to
New York for money to last II through the
busy season-though Seattle has not been
in this condition much since the city re-
covered from the great disasters OF the
fire OF ten years ago--and the Eastern mag
mates have with certainty looked forward
to the lively par: OF each year for demands
for their money The revenues accrued by
the New York institutions from this source
are said TO have amounted to considerable
in the aggregate.
Expected I'm New York.
The outlook that Seattle would be lend
er and not a borrower this fall was bright
and realized In even New York as far
back as early in September. At that time

from the New York Ffnancler showing the

Comment on Bryan's Absence.

Washington, Aug. 31.-There is some
comment in Washington on the fact
that w. J. Bryan was not at Lincoln,
Neb., to participate in the ome-coming
of the First Nebraska Volunteers, who
made such gallant record in the Phil
ippines. This reminds men in army cir
Giles of an incident in connection with
Col. Bryan's retirement from the serv-
ice.
Governor Holcomb and he came to
Washington and pleaded with the of
icials to muster out the Third Nebras-
ka Regiment. which Col. Bryan com
manded. Nebraska had already re-
ceived fair consideration, the Second
Nebraska having already been ordered
disbanded. and it was believed the plan
for the Third was merely scheme to
relieve Col. Bryan from the restraints
of the military service without COM
polling him to resign.
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn of the
war department at once saw an oppor-
tupity to show up the unfairness of the
request. He argued that the First Ne
braska was more entitled to discharge
than the Third, because it had been in
service in the Philippines, while Col.

THE HONEY HUNTERS.

The best trees to set around the hive
are fruit trees.
Heat does not damage honey, bu. tends
to ripen and improve it. Dampness and
darkness do not agree with it.
Honey improves with age. The older
1t is the finer the flavor. Extracted
honey is easier kept than comb.
Fertile workers sometimes appear in
queenless colonies. which amounts to
about the same as drone producing
queens. They will lay eggs but irregu-
larly.
A virgin queen is useless while she re-
mains thus. 1t often occurs that such
queens will begin to lay eggs just the
same rs fortified queen, but all such
eggs hatch to drone bees only.
Bees abhor being molested at night.
No work can be performed with them at
that time with any satisfaction. They
are always more peaceable when gath
ering honey and may then be readily
handled.
Granulntion improves the appearance
of any quality Of honey. 1t never fails
to give lighter shade. 1t also has a
tendency to drive away amy wild taste
and make purer sweet. and the honey
will keep better.-St. Louis Republic.

RESULTS OF DUBUQUE FIGHTS.
White Wins over Lyons and Ken
ney over Lewis.

DUBUQUE, Aug S1.-Tommy White got
the decision over Henry Lyons, colored,
of Chicago, at the end of the twenty
round bout here last night. They fought
for a 126 pound championship. Lyons
put up a good fight, but began to weak
en- in the last round and White landed
almost at will. Neither man appeared
to possess much power. They Rugged
continually from start to finish. Hit
ting with one arm free was allowed and
they punmelled each other every time
they clinched. The decision did not meet
with the entire approval of the audi
ence, owing to the good showing Lyons
made in the first fifteen rounds. White
was the favorite at odds of ten TO eight.
In the preliminary bout between Jack
Lewis and Charlie Kenney for the light
weight championship of the west Lewis
was all but out several times. In the
seventh he was going and kenney was
given the decision and the entire purse
on Referee Siler's decision that Lewis
deliberately fouled in order to save
himself from Knockout. Lewis ruled
the favorite in the betting at ten to
seven.
