NEW YORK, April THE Financier
says:
THE statement Of the associated banks
OF New York, issued April I, is remarka.
BILE from its variation from known facts,
rather than for any influence it will have
on the current money market In the first
place, figures prove that the treasury last
week was a debtor to the clearing house
institutions for about 81 000. 000 and opera
tons with the interior resulted in a gain
Of at least $1,000 900 additional. Instead OF
showing the effect of these additions to
cash holdings, the statement reveals a
gain of less that So 100000 in specie and
an actual loss of $75OOOO in lega!s, In
other words, the bank gained less than
S,759,OOO during the week. Assuming this
to have been the case, the weekly exhibit
becomes Immediately logical The eXpan-
sion In loans coupled with the slight in
crease in cash. account for the expansion
of $l4, 600 in deposits, and as the latter
call for an extra reserve of 80, 700, the
actual surplus Is reduced $l,93l,35O, which
is entirely different from what preVi US
calculations indicated.
There is no method of analysis by
which this conflicting showing can be eX-
planned Operations Of single large banks
do not figure as important factors in the
totals, the changes having been more
generally distributed through the entire
list than usual. The expansion in loans,
of course, result from the weeks activity
in speculative circles, and this was nat
urally responsible for the deposit Increase.
The unexplained feature is the failure To
reflect the cash gains, but the system Of
averages employed in compi ing the state
ment probably has obscured for the time
being the additions to reserve.
THE heaVies decrease in cash report
ed by any one bank was ouly about $1,000,
000 not sufficient of Itself to have ac
counted for the disappointing exhibit. The
banks have added $4,000 to circu' alton,
bringing the total to $20,574500.
The next weeks statement will prob
ably prove of an entirely different cha1ac-
ter than the present one, as the April
disbursements in the form of interest aud
dividend payments have been fully set

Remarkable Success of u New
Treatment for Piles.
For many years 1t has been supposed
that the only absolutely sure cure for
piles was by surgical operation, but the
danger TO life and the pain and expense
has been SO great that many thousands
suffer for years rather than submit to
this last resort; or they seek the tempo
rary relief in the many remedies claimed
TO relieve piles and rectal troubles
salves, ointments and similar simple rem
edles, which give only slight and very
temporary relief
A new preparation which Is painless
and harmless, but which affords imme-
date relief and in many cases a complete
cure in very short time, is sold by drug
gists under the name Of Pyramid Pile
Cure.
1t is in suppOstory form, used at night
and its regular use has cured thousands
of obstinate, long-standing cases, and It

COLORADO MIDLAND APPEARS TO
BE GREATLY PLEASED WITH
THIS ARRANGEMENT
LINES IN WEST FELT STRAIN
East-BOund Business Over the
Western Roads Has Been I'm
usually Good for This
Season of Year.

Among the Western railroad men In St.
Paul yesterday was Is. f. Bailey, gem
eral passenger agent of the Colorado
Midland, with headquarters at Denver.
Mr.. Bailey spent several hours in confer
ence with officials of the Great Northern
and the Chicago lines, and when Ques-
toned concerning the advisabiiCy of re-
turning to $50 Western colonist rate,
from the standpoint of a Western rail-
road man, said:
The Colorado Midland and the other
lines in our territory We're greatly pleased
when they learned that the $25 rate had
been withdrawn. While the low tariff
was in effect we were forced 20 come
down to hard pan with our revenues In
order to meet a Iong haul competition
which developed. The rates put in on the
Northern lines made it necessary for us
10 come down 10 the same figures via our
route and connections, a long and cir
cuitous passenger haul. Not only were
rates cut down, but rates from Chicago
and Kansas City We're cut from the nor
NAL figures of $50 to $25 on account of the
effect of the colonist rates.
From our standpoint it was a good
thing that the rates were withdrawn.
Lines in the West felt the strain and
were Obliged to make concessions in
conformity with the colonist rates to
should be greatly disappointed 10 hear
that these rates had again been put in
force.
'Eastbound business over our line and
the other Western roads has been I'M
usually good. The season of California
tourist travel is again opening up in
larger proportions than ever before Col
orado roads are doing booming bust
ness, with the prospect that certain class
;1l, no
for several years past. will develop into
regular and constant source of revenue.
Earnings are increasing, and the better
ment of business conditions is being gen
orally felt"
One of the general officers of the Great
Northern has this to say regarding the
colonist rates and the effect upon the
regular business Of the road by their with
drawal:
During the months preceding the with
drawal of the $25 rates westbound we en-
ioyed an immense business. The week
during which the rates We're taken out
marked a shrinkage in passenger traffic
and a lessening of the business in sight.
1t will not be an eXaggeration to say
that the Northern lines have lost 90 per
cent of their Westbound business by the
withdrawal of the low colonist rates.
1.-The situation may warrant another
view of the conditions brought ABOUT by
the withdrawal of the rates after an
other month has passed Railroad men
with whom | have talked are somewhat
inclined to think that a portion Of the
shrinkage in WestbOund business follow
ing the withdrawal was attributable 20
the reaction which usually follows a
heavy westward rush. However true this
may afterwards prove to be, there is not
the slightest doubt but that the Northern
lines have lost money through their ac-
ton"

BLAND DAY IN HOUSE.
EulOgtes Upon the Late Missouri
Champion of Silver

WASHINGTON, April THE house to-
day paid tribute to the memory of the
late Richard Parks Bland, of Missouri,
popularity known as Silver Dick Bland,
who was member of the house for TWEEN
ty-six years. Splendid eulogies of the
life and career of the great champion of
silver were offered by members on both
sides of the political aisle. At the con-
clusion of the ceremonies the house. as
a further mark Of respect, adjourned.
A resolution was adopted calling upon
the secretary of war for information as
to whether Charles E. Magoon, the legal
adviser of the insular bureau, had ever
rendered an opinion that, by the treaty
with Spain, the constitution was extend

clared that nothing had been definitely de-
cided upon beyond steady effort 10 Sc
cure final disposition of the measurse
now receiving the attention Of the senate
These are the Quay case, the Philippine
bill, the Alaskan code bill and the appro-
priation bills. They estimate that the
disposal of these bills will require two Or
three weeks time, and say that there
will yet be plenty of time to decide what
measures to take up next.
While no definite final decision was
reached on other measures, it is under
stood that there was considerable discus
sion Of the entire field of legislation. The
shipping bill received more or less atten-
ton, the result being a tentative Gecis-
ion to bring it up before final adjourn
ment, if there should appear probability
of getting 1t acted upon without too great
delay 1t is understood, however, that the
Democrats will make a stubborn resist
ance to the passage of this bill, and fear
IS felt that an effort to pass 1t will extend
the session beyond the time when the Re
publican leaders hope to adjourn finally.
They are quite determined to close the
session during the first half of June, and,
on this account, may have to temporarily
sacrifice several measures which are very
zealousIy championed by individual SEN
ators.
No formal action was taken upon the
treaties before the senate, but 1t Is under
stood that none Of the pending conven-
lions will be pressed to a vote during the
present session. These include the Hay

the later exhibition of the corpses to

Railroad Officials at the union station
are considering a new wrinkle in railroad
ing which came to their attention yester-
day. Mrs. Minnie Parkhurst, of Hudson,
Ark, passed through st. Paul on her way
to Fargo, n. D., with seven children. She
came from her Southern home via the
Frisco to st. Louis, and via the Alton
to Chicago. From Chicago to ST. Paul
she travelled on the Northwestern, and
left last night on the Great Northern for
Fargo. For the seven children and her
self she had but one ticket, on which che

kansas.
Mrs. Parkhurst goes to Fargo TO visit
relatives. Her entire family travel with
her. 1t consists of the seven children, and
the mother quotes the rule that ali under
five years travel free to show how she
brought the family through on one ticket.
There are two sets of twins in the con-
vOy, the oldest three years, and three
other children The oldest is but a frac-
ton over four years of age. Mrs. Park
hurst says she had some trouble with
