FORTUNES WITHOUT OWNERS.
Thousands OF Dollars tnclnimcd in
New York Savings Banks.

New York March Through a recent
case where a deposit in a New York saw
ings bank. uncalled for since 1924, was
claimed by the daughter of the depostor.
attention has been called to the fact that
hundreds of thousands of dollars now lie
unclaimed in New York banks. An un-
claimed deposit does not, as is sometimes
supposed accrue to bank s profit. In
stead. il is reserved through as many
years as may elapse before the depositor
or one of his heirs establishes claim to IL.
According to a statement of one who has
made study of the matter, the three saw
ings banks in this city holding the largest
amounts of unclaimed money are the Sea
mems Bank the Bank for Savings, and the
Emigrant Industrial Bank.
President James Mcmahon, of the Emf
grant Industrial Bank. said: We have al
present in our bank nearly 100000 in un
claimed deposits. Some of this has been
in our hands for fifty years. We hope
eventually to find claimants for all OF it,
An interesting case occurred here re
Gently when man who had not been seen
in the bank for more than forty years came
TO call for his deposit. The amount cred
tied to him was something more than $500.

years he had been in New York but that
he had been subject TO frequent reverses
of fortune and did not like to feel that he
had exhausted his last resource. The
knowledge of an untouched bank account

needed and had a right to the money.

The practice followed by all reputable
banks is to report an unclaimed account
at the end of eight years TO the State
Banking Department. After the expiration
of twenty-five years bank is not supposed
TO credit additional interest to missing
depositor. When claimant appears, how
ever even at the expiration of fifty years,
il is the practice of most banks to write up
Interest on the account from the day the
deposit was made TO that OF its withdrawal.
new departure was made several years
ago by the Brooklyn savings banks. This
was the plan Of sending out representa-
tives to hunt up missing depostors In
this way one Brooklyn bank reduced its
number of dormant accounts nearly one
half Certain New York banks have dis
cussed following similar method, but
none has as yet attempted it.

QUICK STOPPING OF SHIPS.
The Latest Invention by n Hunear-
lnn Engineer.

H. Albert Johnson, Consul at Venice.
writes to the State Department to the eff
feet that the agent of the Austrian Lloyd
Steam Navigation Company in Venice has
brought to his notice an interesting series
of experiments recently conducted at
Fiume by the director of the Lloyd ship
yards. The experiments tested the eff
ficiency of an invention by a Hungarian
engineer, Mr.. Svetkovich for stopping yes
sells under full steam. The Austrian Lloyd
placed its towboat Clotilde at the disposal
of the inventor and three trials were made
TO test the invention under different con-
ditions-
This machine brake is q sort of para
chute of fine spring-steel plates which,
when out of use, fit into one another and
hang above water.
For the first trial the apparatus was at
tached TO the stern of the Clotilde and the
steamer put on full steam. When maxi
mum speed was attained-in Austrian
reckoning miles per hour-the retaining
! hook was released. and the parachute
plunged into the water With scarcely
perceptible shock the vessel came to a
standstill in thirty feet II was found.
however that the rods and guys support
ing the brake were badly strained. If they
/ had not yielded the shock would have been
/ much more severe. Inc TACT that Inc sup
ports did Weld did not argue seriously
against the efficacy of the brake, but was
attributed to the provisional character of
! the arrangements.
The second trial was designed TO show
how far the vessel would proceed when her
engines were stopped at full speed, nc
brake being use. The distance was found
to be 300 yards.
The third trial measured the forward
movement when the engines were reversed
from full speed ahead to full speed astern.
This time the Clotilde stopped in sixty
| yards.
While the second and third trials were
| in progress the marine brake was refitted
with more powerful supports and a fresh
experiment was made. This time the ves-
sci stopped almost instantly.
These results, while hardly 10 be con-
| sidered valid for the powerful ocean liners
! with which the necessity for a quick stop
IL occasionally so crucial, indicate that an
important principle has been introduced
among marine safeguards. The Austrian
Lloyd Company is awaiting with interest
the results of an Improvement which Mr.
Syetkoyich wishes TO add TO his device

QUAY A PRIVATE CITIZEN.
There Is Slim Chance of His Return
10 the senate.


Harrisburg, Pa, March Col. NJ. s.
Quay is now private citizen. and nearly
everybody acquainted with the senatorial
situation here believes he Will never again
represent Pennsylvania In the United
States Senate. The belief is growing
stronger with each ballot that the legis-
lature will adjourn without having elected
any OF the candidates daily being voted
for.
There seems to be only one way in
which the election of a Senator can be Sc
cured, and that is by the withdrawal of
Quay. With him out of the race the Re
publicans would have no apparent diff
Guilty in concentrating on a member of
their party for the office. but Quay will
not withdraw, and If not elected his
friends intend to go before the people for
his vindication.
Anti Quay Republicans invite such a
fight, and profess to be sure of giving him
an overwhelming defeat in the next legis-
latiVe contest. Forty ballots have thus
far been taken for United States Senator,
and this number will be almost duplicated
without an election. unless something un-
expected should happen. The idea that
any Democratic members will vote for
Quay has been abandoned. jerks Will re-
main in the field to the end to prevent any
such action.
Speaker Farr is still being roundly de-
! nounced for his high handed course by
the anti-Quayites, but it is not likely that

cause of the wide difference of opinion as
to the power of the majority of the house

SEEKING TRADE CONCESSIONS.
German Sentiment in Commercial
Relations With America.


Berlin. March 5.-The United States Am
bassador, Mr. Andrew D. White, inter-
viewed regarding Germany's attitude to-
ward American commerce. said:
For some time past there has been an
evident tendency on the part OF the Ger
man government to be very conciliatOry
toward American commerce. The indica
tions are favorable for fair settlement Of
various issues.
THE Germans say 1t is now the turn of
the Americans to make concessions, such
as the release of their ships from the ton
mage dues imposed under the Administra-
tion of President Cleveland, and since con-
tinued under a misapprehension. There
are also many other signs that the Ger
mans desire the widest facilities for busi-
ness with the Americans. an example being
the especially favorable report of the Ham,
burg Chamber of Commerce in regard to
American trade. All this seems to indicate
that opinion is tending in a remarkable de-
gree in favor of equitable treatment Of
American products
The report of the Chamber OF Commerce
Of Hamburg is highly interesting docu-
ment. European industry, it says, may be
prepared for the fact that in many articles
which have hitherto been imported the
United States will become sharp competi-
tors, especially in the iron and steel indus
tries.
Much wrongdoing has been committed
in the German customs during the past"
the report continues, and in fact, there
have been many cases of trichinosis after
consuming home pork which had been
duly inspected and certified as sound
which proved that the inspection is a
doubtful sanitary benefit. Another fact is
that there has not been a single case in
Germany due to the consumption of Amer
lean pork since the importation was again
allowed. though cases of trichinosis have
increased, proving that trichnae are harm
less after sailing or otherwise preparing
the meat"
The press devotes much space 10 the
] Samoan question. The mails have brought
! letters from Germans at Apia, and the
| leading papers in many case describe the
! occurrences differently from the English
and American newspapers. putting the
I blame upon the English speaking officials.
The papers agree that the tripartite
/ government is failure, and the idea of
/ the partition of the islands is again much
/ ventilated. The organs of the colonial
! party oppose this suggestion energetically
/ as it would put an end to German annex
alton of the group.
II is reported on good authority that the
/ negotiations thus far assume that an entire
change in the personnel at Apia of the rep
resentatives of the three powers will be
/ the basis of the understanding TO be ar
| rived at The German officials do not at

Much FcnSting and Hospitality Hns

Havana, March 5.-Gomez. the hardened
hero of hundred Cuban campaigns has
captuated. He has hoisted the white
flag at last and declared himself con-
quered. For the first time in his life he
admits his defeat and throws himself on
the mercy of his enemies.
Much feasting and hospitality have
overcome him. The rigors of years of
bush fighting affected little the frame of
the hardy Dominican They only tough
ened his muscles and strengthened his
nerves. But dinners and receptions and
late hours and balls and routs have weak
ened the aged general more than years OF
warfare

tivities now projected in his honor as i'm

in the Prussian army. He participated in
the revolution of 1SiS and a price was
placed upon his head. He fed the coun-
try and came 10 America. At the outbreak
of the Civil War he was eager to join the

tary education and training at once secured
for him recognition and rank. He was
elected colonel in a Union regiment and
Colonel inow GeneraD Wilder served I'M
der him as lieutenant colonel. Later he
became captain in the regular army
The records fail TO show that he was
ever mustered out of the army, and, ac-
cording TO his evidence and proof. he is
still captain in the service and entitled
10 a captains pay. When he resigns
which he will probably formally do al
once. he will retire on half pay. He ap-
piled to Congress for a captains pay OF

CECIL RHODES'S IDEAL.

Mr.. Rhodes had no hesitation in ar
irving at tne conclusion that the
English race-the English-speaking
man, whether British, American, Aus
tralian or South African-is the type
Of the race which does now. and is
likely to continue to do in the future,
the most practical, effective work to
establish justice, to promote liberty,
and to insure peace over the widest
possible area of the planet
Therefore" said Mr.. Rhodes to him
self in his curious way, ''if there be a
God, and he cares anything about what
do, think it is clear that he would
like me to do what he is doing himself
And as he is manifestly fashioning the
English-speaking race as the chosen
instrument by which he will bring in
state Of society based upon justice, lib
erty and peace, he must obviously wish
me to do what | can to give as much
scope and power 10 tnat race as posi-
bic. Hence"-so he concludes this
long argument-''if there be a God, |
think that what he would like me to do
is to paint as much of the map of Afri-
ca British red as possible, and to do
what I can elsewhere to promote the
unity and extend the influence Of the
speaking race
Mr.. Rhodes had found his longedfor
deal, nor has he ever since then had |
eason to complain that it was not suf- |
