ALCER is KISSED
Boston People Jeer at Him and
Yell "Beef."

Boston, Feb. 16.-Several times dur
ing the parade and amid the general
cheering for the president today yells
of derision and Kisses were heard for
Secretary of War Alger. This was par
ticularly noticed at the corner Of Park
and Beacon streets.
Whats the matter with Long?" fire.
quently was the cry.
Whats the matter with Alger?" was
shouted as the procession passed along
Sumner street
Yah, yah. yah! Beef Beef" jeered
the crowd.
1t took Mr.. Alger some time to grasp
the situation. At last, however, he
caught the drift of the shouting, and his
gracious smile stiffened into a look of
cold impassiveness.
AT the corner of Beacon and Charles
streets a group of young militiamen
established themselves with the deliber-
ate intention of giving the secretary of
war a Snub when he passed, as was ap--
parent from their conversation, and
when Secretary Alger's carriage was
abreast of them they shouted in unison:
Three cheers for Gen. Miles!"
At several points attempts were made
to start a hiss as Secretary Alger
passed, but cheers for President Nc
Kinley drowned them.

NOT MUCH LIKELIHOOD
Of Photographers Strike on the San
ia Fe-The Trouble in Texas.

Both General Manager Frey and
Superintendent of Telegraph Sholes of
the Santa F'e state that they do not
anticipate a strike of the telegraphers,
but admit that it is hard to predict the
movements of the officers of the order.
AS the case in question, which it is
rumored may cause a general strike of
the members of the order on the Santa
Fe, is under the direct supervision of
the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe officials,
nothing is known of the circumstances
here. 1t is believed that the conference
of the chiefs of o. r. T. and President
Ripley will result in a perfect adjust
ment of the trouble.
Superintendent Of Telegraph Sholes
said today:
while L know nothing of the circum-
stances, 1 believe everything will be
satisfactorily adjusted at the conference
with President Ripley. The story of the
possibility of general strike was given
out at Fort Worth and 1 am inclined to
think it was done as a bluff more than
anything else. OF course, one can never
tell what the officers of any order may
decide to do, and 1 suppose the men
would generally obey the orders of their
chiefs. However, I feel confident there
is no probability of a strike of Santa
Ee operators"

SENATORS TANGLED.
Wind Mill Attempts to Kill the New
Normal School Projects.

In the senate at IL o'clock today the
location of two new normal schools was
a special order Senator Lewelling in
troduced a resolution providing that the
roll should be called and each member
should cast two votes, for normal
schools, each location of two preferred
being credited with one of the votes.
This was to follow out the plan made
yesterday when the senate voted to
establish two new schools.
This resolution Immediately started
debate which was prolonged until noon
when the senate adjourned and unless
revived the normal school propositions
go to the foot of the calendar under
general orders and will probably abide
there in peace until the legislature ends.
The opponents of the proposition to
establish two new norTnals hope that
this will result in the death of the whole
business. This element in the senate
favors liberal appropriations for exist
ing institutions but is opposed to estab-
fishing new schools

A POINT OF ORDER
Made Against the $2O,OOO,OOO
Appropriation For the
Philippines.

Washington, Feb. 16.-In the house to-
day a point of order was made by Mr..
Wheeler CDen., Ky.) against the $50, 000. 900
appropriation in the sundry civil bill to
pay Spain for the Philippines the
ground that it was obnoxious to rule 81
the. same as was the Nicaragua canal
project.
In explanation. of his point of order. Mr..
Wheeler said that the Spanish corteS
might refuse to ratify the treaty. and it
gould not become law until both, parties
had ratified it. He was opposed to the
appropriation on principle and intended to
take advantage of every technicality.
The chair sustained the point of order.
Mr.. Williams Dem., Miss.) appealed from

TOO MUCH MONEY.
Topeka Banks So Loaded With De-
posits,sCan No Longer Pay Interest.


The banks of Topeka today announced
that they will no longer issue time GER
tif1cates of deposit. This does not in
clude the State Savings bank.
This means that the commercial
banks will no longer pay any interest
on deposits and it naturally sets pao-
lished rule has been set aside.
f. NJ. Bonebrake, secretary of the
Clearing House association and assist
ant cashier in the Central National
bank said today: This move simply
means that the banks have too much
money and that they can no longer af-
ford to pay interest on time deposits.
At our bank we carry about $4,000
worth of time certificates and when you
consider the surplus which we are COM
PEELED to have on hand and can not
loan out it makes the rate of interest
on what is loaned too high. The time
certificates bear only per cent on their
only loan half of it the interest received
on that half would not be a very large
return on the whole amount.
Never in the history of Topeka has
there been so much money. 1t is evident
that all the money is not in the east
and held by the big institutions in the
eastern states. There is some money in
Kansas"
William Macferran, cashier of the
State Savings bank said: IT had not
heard of the move but it is what I eX-
pected. The commercial banks all over
the country are giving up the paying
of interest deposits. 1t means that
banks will be allowed to occupy their
separate fields. We will continue to
pay interest on deposits just as we have
from the beginning
