New York, Aug. lS.-A special from
Washington says:
Orders have been issued by Acting Sec.
retary Allen to Captain Robley D. Evans,
who commanded the battleship Iowa dur.
ing the war with Spain, directing him to
confer with the Dewey reception commit
tee OF New York and with Rear Admiral
Sampson respecting the navy's participa.
ton In the ceremonies incidental to the
homecoming of Admiral Dewey.
Rear Admiral Sampson has been direct.
ed to prepare program for the ships Of
his squadron in the reception Gf the ad-
miral, which will be formally approved
by the department. Admiral Sampson is
also expected to confer with the reception
committee of New York, SO that there
be no confusion.
1t seems to have been finally decided
that the north Atlantic squadron will not
go abroad to meet the Olympia, but the
admiral will be requested to send to the
department, before leaving the Azores, no.
tlce OF the exact route that he will take in
crossing the Atlantic so that Admiral
Simpsons command may meet him, per.
haps a days sail from New York. This,
however, is detail upon which Admiral
Sampson will report.
The entire squadron will be assembled
to honor the admiral, and when it falls in
with the Olympia will fire salute of II
guns and the drums will give four ruffles
and a flourish. Admiral Sampson will be
expected to make the first call upon Ad.
miral Dewey, who will return it, and the
vessels will then proceed to New York
for the joint ceremonies.
1t is expected that the war department
will assign a military officer to arrange
with the New York committee for the
participation of the army in the celebra-
ton. Up to this time no selection has
been made.
1t is the expectation Of the Washington
reception committee that the sub commit
tee it will send to New York will board
the Dolphin and meet the Olympia in the
outer bay of New York. 1t has been sug-
gested that possibly arrangements might
be made for delegation of the crew Of
the Olympia to accompany the admiral
to Washington.
The committee has addressed a letter to
the admiral requesting him to advise it az
early as possible of the date of his arrival
here, so that final arrangements can be
made for meeting him in New York

New York, Aug. 2l-The Financier
says:
The feature of the New York bank
statement for last week was an expansion
CT $l,04S,600 in loans, the first that has
been recorded since July 8, last. The
liquidation in this item in the intervening
period has been not less than SAT 100000.
The loss in deposits in the same time has
been about $50,00O,000 but the banks have
$l0,O0O000 more surplus reserve than re-
ported in July. Their position is cor
respondingly stronger, but the fact that
loans are rising indicates that this steady
liquidation is at an end. The loan ex-
pansion, in view of the activity is mod
crate to say the least. The banks gained
a million dollars as a result of the week 8
operations and as the increase of ST ,282:-
500 in deposits called for an increase less
than a third of million, in additional
requirements, there was an additian Of
$686,975 to surplus, making the excess at
the close of the week, $l5,082,35

Mrs. Lena Crawford, an insane pa.
tient at Tiers private hospital, has just
had an operation performed by Drs.
McLees and Hoskins to remove a glass
ball from her head, says a Wichita
Kan, dispatch. The ball is small and
is supposed to have been inserted near
the brain for some remedial agent. It
was placed there 80 years ago. Soon
afterwards dull pains passed through
the woman's head, and six months later
she went insane. Ever since then she
has been a maniac, and no one ever
remembered the glass ball having been
put there. She was brought here and
the hospital physicians made an ex.
animation, later removing the ball. 1t
was covered with thick coat of mem.
brane. Just as soon as she recovered
from the operation she also recovered
her proper senses and now talks quite
freely of the incident 80 years ago,
She says the weight of the ball caused
her to lose her mind. Mrs. Crawford
is rs years old. The physicians say
that similar operation was never be-
fore performed.
