The Shadows of Coming Events.

From Puck.
1--WE needn't be afraid" observed the Eu-
ropean diplomat, 'of any permanent ali-
ance between England and the United
States. All that is necessary is for us to
wait a few years.
"Ah?' replied another diplomat; you'd
wait until some other English author visits
America and describes the country"
No; wait until there is a boundary dis
pute between Canada and Chicago"

Banks Accommodating Sterling En-
change in Anticipation of Payment.
NEW YORK, April 1.-The New York
Financier says: Operations with the sub
treasury and the contamination of several
pending railroad and industrial transac-
tions, which temporarily drew money
from this center to the interior, were re-
sponsible for the loss of 1886, 900 in cash,
reported by the New York banks for the
week ending April l. The reduction of
So, 333, 700 in deposits can be traced for the
most part to this source, and while the
deposit contraction lightened, reserve lia-
bilities by over $S0G000, the surplus re-
serve, because of the cash loss, is $685.
SIS lower than for the previous week 1t
had been expected, In view of the revival
of the stock exchange activity, that loans
would show large gain, and the expan-
sion of only $469, 300 is very much less
than had been predicted. The statement
owing to special complications that al
ways appear during the April settlement
and for other reasons alluded to, cannot
be interpreted with any degree of aecu-
racy. 1t is known, for instance, that
there has been quiet accumulation Of
sterling exchange for some time past, in
anticipation of the Spanish indemnity
payment, and this, while 1t does not
show, may have had more or less to do
with determining the effect OF the charac-
ter of the statement
The gains and losses in totals are con-
fined for the most part to a few Of the
larger banks. The main fact which the
exhibit sets forth is that the banks have
rounded the usual spring period with q
large available reserve. From this time
on gains rather than losses will be the
rule. 1t Is expected that money will be
flowing this way very shortly, and domes-
tic exchange at various interior points is
now at par or at a premium, nfter having
sold at a discount for some weeks
THE rise of sterling exchange to inter-
national parity merely reflects the prepa-
rations for the Spanish settlement. 1t is
hoped to complete this payment by draw
ing against our balance abroad. If this
can be done the banks here will gain to
the full amount of the fund until the
treasury calls for 1t again. Indicati tions
point to easier money from now on, but

NEW ORLEANSy April 1.-Advices

The reported uprising at Castillo turns
out to have been nothing but a froliC of

Many Witnesses Examined, but Few
New Facts DeveIoned.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The military
court to investigates, the, beef question
held only one session today, but neverthe-
less examined an unusually large num-
Der of witnesses, including several army
surgeons in charge of hospitals. Their
testimony was generally to the effect that
they had had no experience with canned
beef and that, so far as 1they knew, the
health of their patients had not been af-
fected by it's use.
The court also heard the testimony of
Mr.. Greenleaf w. Simpson, of Boston,
now engaged In furnishing beef on the
hoof to the troops at inland points in
Cuba, who stated that he had had several
interviews with Gen. Eagan prior to the
letting of bids for the troops at Santiago,
and had urged the impossibilty of salts
factorily supplying beef to the Cuban
troops in any other way than on the hoof
or on the block. "a
While Mr.. Simpson was undergoing ex-
animation Maj. Lee sought to draw out
information concerning his present con-
tract but was stopped by Gen. Wade,
president of the commission, who said
that this was outside the line embraced
in the inquiry.

LINCOLN, Neh., April 1.-Gov Poyn-

mends the First Nebraska regiment In

The governor in his veto says.

judgment of the thinking people of this
commonwealth by giving official approval
to the statement that the war of con-
quest now carried on in the Philippines
is in defense of the principles of our
government, and is winning new glory to
our flag
The senate promptly passed the bill
over the veto, but like effort failed in
the house, the Populists voting soidly to
sustain the governor.

Germans Are Satisfied to Accept
American Samoan Proposition.


EERLIN, April IAN official dispatch
from Apia, Samoa, says the only dam
age done to German property during the
bombardment was miss-shot which
broke some crockery in the German con-
sulate and the destruction of house be-
lcrging to a German planter.
The semi-oficial Post continues to
comment on the Samoan situation, and
scouts the idea that force will be used
against the Germans. 1t says:
'The question is too trivial to lead to
great conflicts, especially as America.
and particularly England, have no desire
to irritate Germany quite apart from the
fact that such irritation would lead to
serious consequences.
According to a high German official,
the American explanations have been
found satisfactory" and the accepted
proposal consists of sending commits
sion of investigation to Samoa
