NEW YORK, Feb 10.-The Financier
says:
1.-THE feature of the statement Of the as
ISOLATED banks of New York for the week
ending Feb. 10 is the enormous expansion
of Sc, 152, 400 in the loan account. The In
crease over the past six days brings the
total of loans well upwards to S61, 900, 900,
a gain of $47,0o0,O90 since the closing of
December. In the same period cash hold
ings have risen about s35,50ooo0, and de-
posts STA, 75O, oQ0,. The excess reseIve, de-
spite these heavy additions, Is S15, 750. 900
above the total reported Dec 81 It's
apparent, therefore, that the banks have
not weakened their position. Rather they
are stronger in every respect, but, for all
this, continuance of the record-break-
ing expansions which are being reported
now will have a very perceptibie effect on
excess cash. Indeed, the surplus reserve
for the week just ended declined almost
$3.50, 600, from the fact that the gain OF
81, 100000 In cash did not begin to meet
the extra reserve requirements of 81, 10000
necessitated by the rise of SIS, $50 500 In de-
posits.
THE week ngureS, II may Uo St|eou'
are. in excess of anything reported at this
season last year, when stock exchange
transactions, both in current shares and
In bond purchases, ran away ahead of
what business is now reported.
''The tremendous rise in loans at sthls
point is somewhat difficult of explanation.
The statement In detail shows the
increases have been pretty well distrio-
uted over the entire list of banks. The
commercial paper market is more active,
but even taking this fact and stock ex-
change business into consideration, the
total expansion oyerruns the maximum
needs of business. 1t is quite likely that
ARRANGEMENTS concluded for several large
deals pending contributed to the gain.
."Fhe statement, showing as 1t does
decrease in surplus reserve Tor the iirst
time since Dec 8, may be interpreted 10
mean that money rates will become 1lrnl

February witnessed a decrease in reserve Sc We
of $4,000, 900, and the reserve fell slo'Voo,o,o

roads were generally lined by impene-
trable bamboo jungles, behind which the
enemy found perfect screens. The hank

swamps and cane fields, progress was nee
essarily slow and the country was an
ideal one for ambushes. The roads, how
ever. presented the most serious OBJ
stacies, the mud being so deep In some
places that it was necessary to hold up
the heads of artillery horses that had

MT. Allen, OF NebraskR, Calle0 I'd HIS
Resolution Expressing sympathy
With the Beers and Urging Media
ton on the Part of the United
States and the BeIligerents = 1t
Was Passed, Then Reconsfdered.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.--A resolution
/ expressing sympathy with the Beers in
their struggle against Great Britain and
urging mediation on the part Of the
United States between the beIigerents,
was adopted by the senate today In fit
of temporary alteration of attention. The
resolution was offered by Mr.. Allen (Neb.)
and went through without attracting the
slightest comment from any one of the
dozen or more senator's present. A minute
later, however, at the request Of the
chair (Mr. Frye, Mr.. Allen consented to
reconsideration of the vote by which
the resolution was passed, and the incl
dent passed amid much quiet and laugh
ter.
The financial debate was continued by
Mr. Chandler On. HI, who opposed the
gold Standard and strongly urged the
double standard. He said:
"Any retarding of the movement to
make gold more valuable does not suit
the gold class. Further steps are there
fore now demanded, namely, that all the
existing silver coin shall be put out from
the condition of real money and placed
in the condition of credit money, that Is
money all of which must be redeemed on
demand in gold. If this new principle is
to prevail, the real money will be four
billions of gold and the credit money,
including the silver money, Will be ten
billions. And upon this gold and credit
money are to be built all the checks and
other credits in trade throughout the
world. How broad the summit and how
narrow the base.
"Is 1t true that because it is claimed
that we have now what are called good
times and prosperity in America, bimet-
allism should be ridiculed and disregard
ed? But our good times are simply be-
cause the balance of trade has been so
largely in our favor. What would have
been our condition If the balance of trade
had not been In our favor?"
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Chambers
speech, Mr.. Chiffon (Tex.) was recog-
nized to address the senate IN opposition
to the pending measure, which, he de-
clared, represented the policy of the Re
publican administration. He urged that
the main object of the bill was to refund
the entire national debt in longtime gold
bonds. This would insure perpetuity to
the national banks and afford them a
greater money monopoly even than they
possess now.

Work and Soldiers Pay.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-In answer to
an inquiry from the director of the CEN
sus the comptroller of the treasury has
decided that the enumerators OF the dear
and dumb and blind, under the provisions
of the census acts of March 8, 1899, and
of Feb. l., 1900, are entitled to receive as
compensation the same, rates as for the
restricted enumeration, viz: Five cents
for each name returned.
The comptroller has also decided that
officers and soldiers belonging to volun-
teer organizations, brought into the, serv-
ice under the act. of April ~, 1888, and
amendments thereof, who were discharg-
ed on or after April II, 1899, the date of
the close of the war with. Spain, under
provisions of general order, March. H.
1899, are to be regarded as discharged, as
q matter of right, and not for their own
convenience, and are entitled to travelling
allowance in kind or Communication, as pro
vided in sections 1889 and 1890 of the Re
vised Statutes, and also to extra pay I'M
der the act of Jan IL, 1899, and March g.

seauent enlistment, or a refusal to enlist

The loss of the insurgents In the en-

from Oct. to II, says Gen. Schwan,
amounted to not less than 100 killed and
400 wounded. These estimates rest on IN
formation derived from two, it is thoughtJ
absolutely reliable sources. The effect
of the punishment is evidenced by the
quiet which since its administering has
prevailed on the south line. Not single
