Detroit. Mich. Feb. 25.-Hon. David
Mills. Canadian commissioner of JUS
tice. was the principal speaker this af-
ternoOn at the sixth anniversary exer-
cises of the Detroit Bar association. His
subject was the comparative consti-

the United States minister had recent
ly crossed the boundary which marks
an imperial system" Mr. Mills said:
You have entered upon the work be-
gun by the mother of free states a CEN
fury ago. You, too, recognizing your
high calling. have taken up the white
mans burden. and l am sure that the
feeling of every Canadian is that this
new departure in your development
may be of greater value to yourselves
and Of priceless advantage to the
world
Speaking of our relations with Can
ada Mr.. Mills said: The imperial gov
eminent and Canada have always been
anxious for more sympathetic relations
with the United States. but for some
reason this feeling has not always been
reciprOcated- When you extend your
possessions, however. 1 believe that,
coming more in contact with other ma
lions. you will better appreciate our
foreign policy and Will naturally be
drawn closer to US

Mr.. Hoar ended by calling on his
hearers who aspire to take an honor
able part in the service of the country
to follow in life the example and cOun-
sells of George Washington and to hold
that man as the enemy of the country
who shall counsel a departure from
them. He pointed out how in the past
any departure from them by the peO-
pie had come back to them again, as
in the case of the events preceding and
following the civil war. So he predict

Kansas City. Feb. 25.-The most posi-
tive identification of Jesse James as one

passenger on the Missouri Pacific train

fed that he got out when the train

bers. one of whom placed a gun against

To Determine Party Attitude On
Imperial Policy.
PLANS OF THE LEADERS
AGAINST PERMANENT ACQUIsI-
TON OF PHILIPPINES.
Bacon Resolution Will Probably Be
Adopted and Presented to the
House-MeEnery Resolution Pig
eon-holed By Republican Commit
tee-Imperialism the Issue.

| Washington, Feb. 25.-A caucus of
the Democratic members of the house
has been called for o'clock next Fri
day evening. for consideration of the
attitude of the party on the Philip
pines" The call was issued today by
Representative Richardson of TenneE-
see, chairman of the caucus committee
who had received a request signed by
forty Democratic members requesting
a caucus. a plan of action has already
been outlined, and 1t is expected a res
olution will be adopted against the per
manent acquisition of the Philippines.
A resolution to this effect has been
drafted by the Democratic members of
the committee on foreign affairs, fol-
lowing the lines of the Bacon reSoiu-
ticn, to be adopted at the caucus, and
thereafter it is expected to get the res
olution before the house.
Among those active in securing the
call We're Representative Dinsmore
(Ark), Representative Howard (Ga.),
and Representative Ball CTex.).
Mr.. Dinsnore says the essential fea-
ture of the movement is to secure a
definite declaration of the attitude of
the party against permanent holding of
the Philippines.
Mr.. Howard stated that the step had
been taken mainly because the Nc
Emery resolution, passed in the senate,
had been ignored by the committee on
foreign affairs. No meeting of the COM
mittee had been called since the Nc
Emery resolution was received, so it was
manifest, the house was not to be per-
mitted to vote on such a declaration.
He and his Democratic associates of
the committee had. therefore, framed a
resolution, similar to that Of Senator
Bacon, which would be offered to the
caucus. If this. or a like resolution
was adopted, Mr.. Howard said il would
be presented to the house and an effort
made to have the speaker grant an
opportunity for its consideration In
any event it would define fhe position
OF the Democrats in the house.
II is stated by a number of Demo-
Gratis that the movement does not arise
from the recent visit of Mr.. Bryan, al |
though it is said the resolutions will /
express sentiments similar to those of |
Mr. Bryan at the recent WashingtOns !
banquet here. Several Demo- I
cratic members feel that it would be I
to consider how far the 1
financial question is to remain the |
paramount isEue or is to become sec
ondary to an issue Of Imperialism. /
Congressman Mcguire of California |
says that While the financial subject |
will continue 10 be among the foremost
party issues. yet it may not continue TO
be paramount, owing to force of cir
run'st9~7eS in advancing the issue on

In obedience to an order of the court,
Jacob 4. Griffin appeared before Judge
Hiles yesterday to show cause why the
temporary restraining order issued to
prevent him from removing his horses
and wagons to Nevada, or from the ju-
risdiction Of this court should not be
made permanent, and also 10 show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt Of court for having failed
TO pay his former wife the 81, 500 ali
mony as ordered by the court Attor-
ney Jonn NJ. Zane appeared fer Mrs.
Griffin, ana Attorney +. S. Richards
for the defendant When the case was
called, Mr.. Zane addressed the court
and said: If your honor please, 1 ask
to have this matter referred to some
other judge of the Third district
court. Judge HileS, without a mo
menL's hesitation, said that he referred
it to Judge NOrrell.
Mr.. Richards, on behalf of Griffin,
objected TO the case being transferred,
remarking that Mr.. Zane had given no
reason for his motion.
Judge Hiles cut Mr.. Richards short,
stating that he would not listen TO any
reasons and would not hear a case in
which such motion as Mr.. Zane's had
been made.
That ended the proceedings, and the
y
at some future time.
Last Tuesday Mrs. Griffin filed an af-
tidaVit, setting forth that her former
husband had failed to pay her the s., 500
alimony as ordered by the supreme
court and alleging that Griffin was
about to move his sprinkling plant into
Nevada and out of the Jurisdiction of
this court. She asked that a writ of
injunction issue against Griffin, to pre-
vent the contemplated exodus, and that
he be punished for contempt of court.
PART OF THE PROPERTY GONE.
Griffin filed his answer to the petit
ton, stating that his contract with the
city for sprinkling terminated on Dec
81, 1898, since which ne has had no en-
plOyment fer either himself or his
teams and wagons, and has no income
from any source, and has been obliged
to borrow money to live upon. He |
however. secured a contract for the
hauling of ore at Humboldt, New, and
wanted to so there and take his teams. !

CONDITION OF MONEY MARKET.
Bank Statement Indicates Temporary
Firmness In Rates.

New York. Feb. Is The weekly bank
statement shows the following changes:
Surplus reserve. decrease, S4O3s, S25: loans,
increase. Sl2 1868. 400; specie. increase. SOB
coo: legal tenders. decrease. l.21l, 500; de-
posits. increase, SIS. 4U.JJ circulation IN
crease. 5000. The banks now hold $50
334, 800 in excess of the requirements Of
the - per cent rule.
The F'inancier says: The bank state
ment for the week is remarkable. in that
1t shows an actual loss in cash. the first
noted for some weeks. The decrease Is
small. but, coupled with the extra re-
quirennents neceSSitated by the EXPANSION
OF nearly SIS, $4,000 in loans, the result
has been a decrease of 81, O0O.0 coo in sur
plus. bringing that item to SO. S3O, coo. As
the banks gained no cash, the increase
in deposits. amounting to $l2.903SO0, re-
fleets banking credits due to loan opera
lions Taken as IA whole, the statement
does not differ much from what had been
expected. The banks lost heavily last
week to the interior and they were also
debtors TO the treasury. Conservative es-
Inmates had figured these lsoses heavier
than shown By the statement, but the
increases in loans and deposits. on the
other hand. were large enough to bring
about the predicted results he increase
in loans is to be attributed 10 stock eX-
change requirements. and in a lesser de-
gree TO the multitude of industrial COM
binations now being effected.
A detailed analysis of the statement
shows that there has been more or less
shifting of funds incident to special Op-
erations. but the loans can be traced TO
five or six of the largest banks. Ii is
noteworthy that an institution which re-
ports 100000 additional loans shows a
reduction of S4.O09.000 in specie. Incidents
like these tend 10 make calculation diff
cult. as so many factors enter into the
calculation that 1t Is almost impossible to
trace them. In a larger sense. however
the exhibit makes for firmness in money.
temporarily. at least II IS quite likely
that the statements of the past two
weeks will he repeated in more or less
detail in the future. and that, unless rates
harden perceptbly. the excess reserve
will rot be Increased. The extent of its
reductions depends, to a certain extent
on the amount of money which will be
withdrawn from this center for interior
needs on a continuance of present stock
exchange transactions
