DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS.

Washington, January ELLIS H.
Roberts, the treasurer of the United
States announces that the distribution
of the internal revenue collections is
going on according to the original plan,
and probably will be completed to the
first group of additional depository
banks in eight days. He says:
Every application for a share of
these deposits has been accepted and
no restriction has been on the amount
of bonds placed Is security by n ap-
plicant. When the depository bank
was already the recipient of the inter-
nal revenue collections, it has been per-
mitted to retain the deposits to the
amount of it's pledged bonds. In cases
where the rate of exchange rendered
transfers to New York a burden, the
funds ave been assigned to banks in
the same city or in neighboring local
tiles. With these exceptions, the inter-
nal revenue collections have been con
centrated in the National City bank,
New York, for convenience of distribu-
ton.
Every day these collections have
been distributed in installments of $780,
600 to the several depository banks in
the ratio of the bonds to the total
amount pledged. By this process, the
smaller banks first received their quota,
and funds remained in the National
City bank only as the distribution went
forward"
Among the banks in the first group,
are the Norfolk national, which depos-
tied 500, 600 in bonds; National Bank of
Virginia, Richmond s14, 000; n the
Planters National, Richmond $10O, 600.

CHICAGO's BIG CANAL OPENED.

Chicago, January 1.-The $50, 600, 900
canal, at present used for sewage dis
posal, but ultimately to be a ship canal,
also, is in use today, after seven years
of hard work by the trustees of the
sanitary district, which is the name of
a corporation including the larger part
of the city of Chicago and many of it's
suburbs.
What is called the collateral channel
had been completed for some time from
a branch of the Chicago river in the
southwestern part of the city to within
fifteen feet of the canal. Monday night
a big steam dredge began to cut away
this wall of earth, but the work had not
been finished when the sanitary district
trustees arrived on the scene this morn
ing. Shortly before 9 o'clock a. m. a
small stream of water was flowing
through the hole in the fifteen foot
wall. Soon the dredge had cut away
some more earth and more water came
over the dam. What had gone before
trickled out on the. ice covered bed of
the main channel and the great canal
had been opened.
The dredge continued for hours to cut
away the fifteen foot wall of earth.
Finally the cut in the dam was dis
charging 1000 cubic feet of water a
minute and flow was strong down the
canal. The dredge continued at work
all day so as to make the discharge
so, 900 cubic feet or more a minute.
About Wednesday at noon the water
is expected to reach Lockport and
about four days from the time the flow
began, according to the estimate of the
chief engineer, the canal will be full n
water will begin to run over the sills
Of the controlling gates at Lockport, 2S

THE PHILIPPINE FRIARS.

Manila, January 2.-Archibishop
Chapelle, the papal delegate to the
Philippines. arrived here today on the
which sailed from San Francisco De-
cember Sth. He will lodge in the house
frmeriy occupied nv Charles DENLY,
of the Philippine advisory commission
This action on the part of Monsignor
Chapelle settles the contest between
he various friar brotherhoods in Ma
Mia, who, separately, have been using
their influence TO obtain the privilege
of entertaining the archbishop and the
Rev. Father McKinnon, late of the
California volunteers and now a regu-
lar army chaplain. who was also a pas
Senger on the Sherman. 1T is said that
the friars are striving to Secure MonSIg-
nor Chapelle's ear for the purpose of
securing better protection for indi-
vidual interests.
Revolutionists having started the ru-
NOR that Monsignor Chapelle intends
eventually to recommend the appoint
ment of Father McKinnon as arch
bishop of the Philippines, the latter's
defense of the brotherhoods in the
American newspapers has been rams
lated and circulated among the natives
for the purpose, it is declared, of
showing that Father McKinnon will
support the brouherhoods if he is Sc
lected.
Such statements as these create un-
easiness among the natives, which is
increased by recent news received from
Spain to n effect that M~onsignor
Chapelle will support the brotherhoods.
The Tagalogs. it is declared, ave be-
come more embittered against the
church since Archbishop Nozalda ex-
communicated an insurgent priest, and
it is said the number of Protestant
marriages among the natives continu-
ally increases.

FORMAL PROTEST MADE
To British GovernmentAgainst Seizure
of American Cargoes in Delagoa Bay

Washington, January 2.-The state
department today received from United
States Ambassador Choate, al London
by cable, a statement of the facts he
had developed in connection with the
seizure by British warships OF Ameri-
can goods on the three merchant yes
sells, Beatrice, Mashona and Maria. The
goods comprised not only -four. but
miscellaneous articles Of common
trade, and while they were shipped
for Lourenzo Marques in British and
German ships, yet the contention q
our officials is that they were o sub
ject to seizure. They could % lodge
representations on the subject un-il
they were Possessed of a knowledge If
the facts, but as 500 as DR.. Choate's
statement came to hand today an in
struCIion was cabled to him to inform
the British government hat we could
not admit the right of seizure in these
cases.
This is the preliminary step usually
taken in such negotiations. Mex IN
order will be a report from our consul
lar representative at Lourenzo Marques
respecting the present condition of tn
seized or detained goods and damase
sustained.
Today's Instructions TO Mr.. Choate
were not a demand for the release of
the goods, nor yet for indemnity, but
rather a precautionary notice to the
British government intended to save
all u rights in the case. 1t will be
sufficient to inaugurate the settlement
of the matter by negotiation, and the
state department has not the slightest
doubt that the British authorities will
make full amends to the owners Of the
goods when the facts are all laid be-
fore ii.
