Of government our insular territory be-

SIGHT RESTORED.
One of the Most Remarkable
Achievements of Modern Surgery.


Achievements of Modern Surgery,
3 CHICAGO. Feb. A-One of the most
remarkable achievements In modern sur
gerry and medical science was accom-
plished today when total blindness that
had existed several days was relieved
and the sight restored This was done
through the agency of an operation on the
brain.
DR.. c. Pruyn, of Springfield, consult
Ing physician of the Chicago Baptist hos
pital, assisted by DR.. Allan 7. Height,
eye specialist; DR.. Walter Metcalf, *
ray expert, and DR.. Robert Dodds, sur
geon of the Baptist hospitaN, performed
the operation on Mrs. F. j. Parker.
Seven years ago Mrs. Parker's sight
commenced to fail, and within month
she became totally blind. She had met
with no accident there had been no UNI
usual strain on the optic nerves, neither
was there any physical condition that
could be considered in any way ASSOC
ciated with the affliction. For years no
relief could be given her, and DR.. String
field could determine no reason for the
condition unless there was an obstruc-s
ton to the blood vessels supplying the
optic nerve.
The X-ray was employed by DR.. Met
calf and a skiograph was obtained faint
ly outlining what seemed to be a tumor
in the upper portion of the occpital lobe.
Dr. Springfield commenced the operation
by trephinning section of the skull,
thence opening the mebranes OF the brain
and the tuInor was exposed to view. BY
the removal of the tumor the blood sup
plying the optic nerve is again permitted
10 flow freely, and tissues for many
wears in disuse were rehabilitated and
the womans sight will be restored In
short time.

NEW YORK. Feb 24-The Financier
says this week:
1.-The New York bank statement for the
week ending Feb. "a is marked by con-
tinuance of the upward moement in loans.
the expansion since the last previous
statement having been 81, 0S5, 900. This
makes the total increase since the open
ing of the year $51, 10000, as compared
with rise of little over $4O,00O,OOO for
the same period last year. Loans now,
in fact, are within $13,000,0 600 of the total
reported on Feb. Is a year ago, although
they are smaller by s45,0O0,00o than the
maximum record attained on March 4,
1899 The net deposits are $70,000,0O0 less
than at this time last year.
1.-The movement of surplus reserves now
is not different from that noted in Feb
ruary, 1899, and as the two chief factors
in swelling the available cash in New
York banks have been eliminated in the
stoppage of treasury deposits and the re-
sumption of interior demand, there seems
no likelihood of statements of different
character for some time to come. In
other words, with the loan commitments
rising and money going out of New York
banks as at present, the surplus reserve
will be subjected to a drain that will re-
duce it to smaller figure than now re-
ported
But, in spite of this obvious process Of
liquidation of excess funds, money as
yet shows little signs of responding,
rather being only nonlinally higher The
heavy loan contracts may have been
made in anticipation of harder market
later on. During the week just elapsed
the banks lost nearly 100000 in cash to
the treasury and interior.
mo detailed explanation can be made
of the cause of the continued rise In
loans. Stock markets conditions hardly
warrant for the repeated advances. Com
mercial activity doubtless has had more
or less to do with it.
"a fact that seemingly escapes atten-
ton is the circulation of New York ma
tional banks. Since Jan. l, this year, 1t
has been almost 100000, and the gain
over last summer is about $4,000, 000.'
