The banks have lost heavily to the Sub
Treasury this week, probably more than
81, 00c, 600. and the chance now is that the
bank statement will be very nearly, If not
quite as bad, as that of last week. This
will about end the surplus reserve. The
banks have been calling loans, but it is
not thought that the loan item of the
statement will be sufficiently smaller than
last week to have much good effect on the
reserve. Leans yesterday were made at
6 1-2 and G per cent, and there was talk
OF a higher rate being probable today to
go over Sunday. The disturbing cables

The market yesterday was reactionary
for the most part, and although there was
a rally during the last hour on the an
nouncement that the Erie deal Is COM
pleted, the general list showed net losses
for the day. The outlook is for lower
prices before the end of the week and
for a continuance of the decline next week.
There is, of course, the chance that the
advance will begin sooner than expected
by the ca-eful people-next week some
time, instead of Immediately before or
Immediately after the holidays, but this
is not probable, and the conservative way
to do business in the market is TO count
ON the reaction

ket, was downward. Later in the day
they recovered and closed nearly as high
as they opened. The statement is made
that the gross earnings of the company
for the first week of December show an
increase of $4,000. The showing is, as
usual, good, but II is not surprisingly SO.
The preferred stock is considered good

probable necessity of influencing a few

seem that at some time soon Mail should

OPPOSED TO DIVIDING UP.
England and Germany Are to Protect
China.

| London, Oct. 22.-Germany and
England have formed an alliance to
maintain the territorial integrity of
China and keep the ports open.
| The terms of the agreement were
arrived at October 16, between Sails
bury and the German ambassador,
Hatsfieldt, and are officially given out
as follows:
"The German government and her
majesty government, being DESTROYS
of maintaining their interests in Chi
ma and their rights under existing
treaties, have agreed to observe the
following principles regarding a mu-
tual policy in China:
"First-It is a matter of Joint per-
manent international interest that
the ports on the rivers and iltteral of
China should remain free and open
to trade, and to every other legiti-
mate form of economic activity for.
the peoples of all countries, without
distinction; the governments agree
on their part to uphold the same for
ali oninese territory SO ar as they
can exercise influence.
"Secondly-Both governments agree
that they will not make use of the
! present complications to obtain for
themselves any territorial advantage
in the Chinese dominion, and will di-
rict their policy towards maintaining
the undiminished territorial condition
of the Chinese empire
"Thirdly-In case another power is
making use of the complications i'm
China in order to obtain under any
form whatever such territorial adj
vantages, the two contracting parties
reserve to themselves the right to
come to a preliminary understanding
regarding the eventual steps to be
taken for the protection of their own
interests in China.
"Fourthly-The two, governments
will communicate this agreement to
the other powers interested, especially
Austria-Hungary, France, Italy, jap
an, Russia and the United States, and
invite them to accept the principles
recorded in it,"

BOTH SIDES DETERMINED.

|'iikesbarre, Pa, Oct. 22.-The close
OF the fifth week of TIE mine workers.
strike in the Wyoming regions finds
both sides as determined as ever. The
operators insist that the price of
powder shall not be considered in the
10 per cent advance offered by them,
while the strikers say they will not go
back to work until the demands of the
Scranton convention are acceded to,
which they assert means fat 10 per
cent advance, the price of powder to
be arbitrated later. Meanwhile the
larders of the miners are becoming
empty, and it can not be very long,
if the strike is prolonged until there
is much suffering.
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 22.-President
Mitchell has practically admitted that
If every operator in the region were
to post notices similar to those al
ready issued by some of the mine
owners the action would in itself prob
ably not end the strike. He said under
the conditions laid down by the Scran-
ton convention there could be no par
tial resumption of work. Notices sim
liar to those already posted by the
indidual operators have been issued
by three more companies, leaving but
three large individual operators who
have not pasted what is known as the
second notice.

AN EPIDEMIC OF TYPHOID.
Iowa College at Ames Has Forty
Cases Among Students.

Shses A"ouB SsuScuts'
Ames, Oct. 2O.-Although efforts
have been made to keep the matter
quiet and prevent undue alarm, the
real facts in regard to the sickness at
the Iowa Agricultural college are just
beginning to be made known.
DIR. Littig of Iowa City and DIR.
Hartman of Ames, after comforting,
together, unite in pronouncing the
trouble typhoid fever. Although the
symptoms displayed have been those
of typhoid fever, it had previously
been thought to be merely some ma
larial trouble or enc the milder
epidemics which frequently swept
over gatherings of students.
After thorough investigation the
authorities think the trouble has been
correctly traced to the milk with
which the students have been sup
piled. The milk which the students
use at the large dining hall has been
procured from five different farms in
tie vicinity of the college, and at one
of these farms there have been two
pronounced cases of typhoid fever.
1t is now generally thought that by
the infection of the milk the disease
has been SO generally spread. The
entire milk supply has been stopped.
The college water, on chemical an
alysis, has been pronounced pure and
after the most careful examination
the doctors assert that there is now
no possible source of infection on the
college grounds. Climatic conditions
have been most favorable for the
spread of the disease and this may
have been a prime cause for its prev
alence
Up to Friday evening, forty-fve
cases among the students have been
reported under the doctors care.
These patients have been coming
down for about ten days past and
are in various stages of the disease.
AS the old hospital is being refitted,
temporary quarters were fitted up in
agricultural hall last Monday, and to
these the sick students We're removed.
The large recitation rooms have been
used and in them are now about
twenty-six patients. Only three of
these are though to be in a danger
Gus condition. but many are delirious
and will become worse as the fever
continues.
Tn Margaret hall are fourteen young
ladies. several of whom have been
sick for nearly two weeks, but are
now slowly recovering. Others have
not reached the serious stage. Many
students have been sent home during
the past week. as they have shown
the first symptoms of the disease
since proper care cannot be given to
so many. Six of the football team
are in the hospital and others on the
sick list. which accounts for the can
ceiling of the State university-Ames
game of yesterday. since DR.. Littig
deemed it unsafe for the Iowa City
team to make the trip.
Fifteen trained nurses have been
summoned from Chicago, Council
Bluffs and Des Moines to care for the
sick and there will be no lack of at.
tention.

stabbing ARRAY Near Ma..ena.

Atlantic, Oct. 1S.--A cutting ARRAY
occurred near MasseDa and is now
engaging the attention of the grand
jury. AS result, one boy, Ezra Por-
ter, received bad cut on the
shoulder, said to have been given by
Harvey Harper. The knife inflicted
wound about two inches long, GO
ing in to the bore. 1t seems that
quite number of boys and young
men were picking potatoes on the
farm of A. A. Grimes near Massena.
They INDUCED in some fun by throw
ing potatoes until Porter was hit
rather hard. He thought Harper had
done it and the boys began wordy
combat which outgrew that state and
became fistic encounter, and as a
result Porter was cut, as stated. Sew
eral stitches were required, though
the wound is not a serious one. Had
the knife struck little lower, how
ever. it would probably have proved
fatal. The boys appeared before the
grand jury and testified regarding the
matter.

JOY FOR PAUL KRUGER.
Said That France VIII Give Him a
Encoura cling Word


New York, Oct. 19.--It is stated on
excellent authority, says a cablegram
to the Times from Picking, that ex-
President Kruger will, after landing
at Marseilles, pass through Paris and
he will be received with all the honors
due a head of state. The municipal
ity of Marseilles is making prepara-
tons for grand reception for Kru-
ger, and it is quite certain he will be
enthusiastically welcomed by the pop
ulation in general.
Recommencement of the active de-
Tense in the Transvaal has re-awak-
ened European interest in the Boer
cause, and the French government,
in common with other European gov
ernments, is not sorry to see this
re-awakening of sympathy, as Great
Britain's hands are all but completely
tied while the iSoers remain active.
In China, and i'm the settlement of
any difference with Great Britain.
her rivals can therefore take the adj
vantage. 1t is likely, for this reason,
that Europe, and especially France,
will give the semblance of encourage
ment to Kruger, and will hold out a
vague hope of Intervention. A well
informed politician stated this will
be the policy of the French govern
ment. Kruger will be well received,
and the Beers will be encouraged as
much as possible. The end of hos
tilities need not therefore be looked
for at present. Kruger's friends are
still hoping he will visit America.

PUT SECRETLY ON BOARD.
President Kruger Leaves His Country
For Holland.

Lorenzo Marquee, Oct. 2O.-Kruger
was secretly taken at o'clock "a. m.
on board the Dutch cruiser Colder
land, on which vessel he is to sail for
Holland.
The reason given for his embarka-
ton is he feared the Beers here would
attack him. The feeling of the refu-
gees against Kruger for fleeing the
country is very strong.
London, Oct. 20.-Roberts reports
from Pretoria:
"A party of Beers got into Jagers-
fontein the night of October IS. A
fight ensued the next morning. Our
loss was eleven killed. The Beers lost
the commandant and twenty killed.
A column under Hughes Hallet should
reach Jagersfontein today"
Lorenzo Marquee, Oct. 20.--Local
railroad authorities have been in
structed to hand over to the British
all rolling stock of the Netherland
railroads.
