FAVORABLE SHOWING.
New York Bank Statement Should
Restore Confidence.


NEW YORK, Aug. 12-The Financier
says:
THE statement of the clearing bousa
banks of New York city for the week
ending Aug. II was Unexpectedly favor
able, the chief feature having been the
heavy increase of Sc, 3SS, 800 in specie
There was a decrease of nearly the
same amount in loans and as deposits
remained stationary the CORD expan-
sion went to swell surplus reserve,
bringing that item to S14. .395. .375 the
highest point touched since June "a last
There is no doubt that factors that
were present, but unaccounted in the
previous statement, have been operative
In the present exhibit. The transfers
of gold from the West and a return
movement Of specie recently Skinned
to, Canada may have aided in swelling
the total for the current week. but 2 de-
OG0 OF the entire specie gain is reported
by one bank. The institution also ex-
panded its deposits by the same amount
so that the remaining clearing house
banks really curtailed their outstanding,
deposits by that amount.
'It is not known whether the lending
OF money i'll this center by interior banks
has influenced the statement. If such
has been the case, the -loan-column might
be expected to show it. Looked at in
any light, however, the statement will
go far toward restoring a better feeling.
There has never been cause for appre
hension, at best, but the moral effect of

icled, will prove beneficial in every wav
'"The main question at present is to
what extent New York will be called
upon to aid in the crop movement. Best
advices now are that interior cities are
well prepared to handle the situation
and that there will be little, if any
drain on New York. There is nothing
in domestic exchange quotations to tndi-

Document Has Been Received at
State Department.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The report of
the Samoan commission was received at
the state department today. 1t is a
volumtnous document, and until there has
been opportunity for officials to go over
it's details will not be made public. It's
essential features are well known, how
ever, and include the abolition of the
kingship and the substitution of an ad-
ministrator or governor general, agreed
upon by the three powers, and the adop-
ton of certain measures of local govern
ment among the natives.
The report was accompanied by a pri-
vate letter from United States Commits
sioner Bartlett Trip to Assistant Secre-
tary Cridler summing up what had been
done and giving much light on personal
phases Of the inquiry. Mr.. Tripp took oc-
casion to dispose of a report that the
failure of Mr.. Eliot, the British commits
sioner, to return with the party on the
Badger had any international Sgnif-
canoe. He stated that Mr.. Eliot had gone
home by way of New Zealand because he
had a sister living there and desired to
visit her. No mention was made of the
circumstances leading up to the retire
ment Of Chief Justice Chambers.
Mr.. Tripp will not come to Washington
at once, but will first go to his home in
Yankton. After going over the report
Mr.. Cridler will make a summary to be
forwarded to Secretary Hay.
Now that the report is at hand, it re-
mains for the three governments to de-
termine whether the recommendation of

ARMY INSPECTION.
Secretary Root and Gen. Breckin-
ridge Confer Upon 1t.

WASHINGTON, Aug 12 - Inspector
General Breckenridge had a brief inter-
view with Secretary Root today on the
subject of his bureau. An important fea-
ture of the interview was a statement
by Secretary Root on the order relating
to the inspector generals department,
which was signed by Gen. Alger on July
81 This order has not yet been promul-
gated, and Secretary Root said that it
was being considered as in proof and had
not yet been issued from the department.
and would still be subject to careful con-
sideration before it was issued.
Gen. Breckenridge submitted to the Sec
retary a statement which was in two
parts, one showing the custom in other
armies and what had been the custom in
our army up to the present time. The
other was a statement showing the posi-
ton of Gen. Breckenridge in the matter of
inspections, pointing out the methods he
had adopted and making suggestions.
Gen. Breckenridge says he does not
think that it will be necessary for other
bureaus to forego the inspection of scien-
tific and technical portions of their
work, but that a general inspection
should also be made. These views he has
presented to the secretary, who will take
up the whole subject at later date.

One cannot get away from the horrible

dread of a plague breaking out before
the city can be cleaned and the bodies
buried.
