The reorganization of the Manufac-
turers National Bank into a trust COM
pany, as exclusively reported i'm yester-
days News.will reduce by one more the
somewhat overloaded situation as TO
national banking here I'm Providence.
although IL, OF course. Will not reduce
uhe number of banks Indeed. although
national banking -capiral- has been cut
down here within the past five or six
years the banking facilities of the town
still seem 90 be pretty large consider
ing the business and population. How
ever. the passing OF a portion of IL into
the hands of the trust companies does
not necessarily mean that the town will
cont smue to be over stocked with banks,
for the trust companies have certainly
developed a demand for banking
facilities and enlisted hot of people
that heretofore made no use of banks
byreasm of the larger sphere of trans
actions possible under their charters as
contrasted TO the national institutions.

aggregate value of which exceeds $50,

The CARRhNzA AFFAIR.
Span'ads Say They VIII P,sss Damage Claims
for Unjust Expulsion.

Montreal, July 13.-As result Of the
statement made by George f. Bell of
this city that the letter upon which the
Carranza and Senior Du Bose were ex-
PEELED from Canada was forged, the
Spaniards will press their suit for dam
ages against the Dominion Govern
ment for unjust expulsion.
Mr.. st. Pierre. their Montreal lawyer,
saws that he had advised lhic clients 90
continue their suits. III Bells state
ment Is shown to be true then the DAM
ages will be against the Dominion Gov
ernment. In that case the Dominion
Government VIII probably call upon the
American Government TO pay. az IL was
at its instance that the Spaniards were
expelled from Canada.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier. when asked
about the Carranza letter, stated that
he had not heard OF any proceedings
against hlms~.- or the Government.

GOEBEL
WINNER
The Kentucky Democrats
Thoroughly Tired And
Disguised
BAD FAITH CHARGED
And That Is Why the Stone
Forces Fought
GoebeI So
HotIy.

LOUISVILLE, June 28.-The dele
gates to the democratic state conven-
tion came up for the' final round some
what eroggy after the weeks battle.
The head of the ticket having been
fixed by naming Senator Goebel as
candidate for governor, many dele
gates turned over their proxies to
friends aud went home.
They had had enough of the most
memorable convention in the history
of the state and cared little for the
balance of the ticket.
In fact the fight was so hot that some
of them don't care much for the head
of the ticket and many sore spots are
exposed.
Colonel Stone made statement to
your correspondent today that Goebel
had agreed that if Stone would allow
Redwine to be permanent chairman
he would throw the whole vote of
Louisville to Stone and nominate him.
This agreement be failed to keep and
that is why Stone and his friends
fought Goebel.
Efforts to break the Goebel slate
failed and Beckham was nominated for
lieutenant governor this afternoon.

GOLDEN
JUBILEE
Of the North American Saen-

Cincinnati.
FOUR THOUSAND VOICES
Will Be Heard In Chorus
At the Grand sOpening
In the Auditorium
Tonight.

CINCINNATI, June 28.-Every train
today brought in Saengerfest visitors
by scores and hundreds for the golden
jubilee meeting of the North American
Saengerbupd, which formally opens to
night. Thousands are already in the
city.
The decorations of the auditorium,
especially erected for the meetiu gs and
concerts of the Saengerfest, were COM
pleted this morning. The work has
been artistically done, and the build
ing presents q beautiful aod attractive
appearance to the eye Of every behold
er. The national colors of Germany
and of the United States are blended
in all OF the decorations.
The story sent out yesterday that the
building would not be finished, proved
to be an error, although it was neces-
sary for hundreds of men to work all
night.
The city is gaily decorated in honor
of the musical visitors and every
scheme possible is arranged for their
entertainments.
Four Thousand voices will be heard
in the chorus which opens the festival
tonight. The saeugerfest will be in
session until Saturday. During that
time there will be five concerts, in
which 6, 1000 vocalists, repres- ntiug 200
German singing societies throughout
the country. will Darticipate.
