MANILA BANKERS PROTEST.
The Unfair working of n Financial
Act Alleged.

Representatives of the principal bank
ing houses of Manila have filed with the
Secretary of War complaints against the
operation of sn act of the Philippine
Commission entitled AN act to prevent
discrimination against money of the
United States by banking institutions.
The act provides that every bank of de-
posit In the Philippine Islands shall ac-
cept deposits both in the money of tho
United States and In Mexican and other
local money. and shall honor checks on
or repay such deposits In the kind OF
money in which they are made This
means that deposits in gold must be paid
to depositors in gold. The banks claim
that this is unjust; that frequently gold
deposited is not retained in the bank. and
that they are willing TO pay depositors In
silver equal to the value OF the gold.
The act of the Commission provided the
following penalty for violation OF the
law:
"A wiiiful violation of the requirements
OF this act shall subject tn. manager or
ofhcer of the bank causing such violation
or taxing part in II. to a punishment for
each offence by fine of not more than
&5,Wc or by imprisonment for not more
than one year, or both, in the discretion
Of the court.
Nothing herein contained shall prevent
n bank OF its officers from declining In
good faith to accept deposits so small In
amount as to be Improbable but dis
elimination in that respect between Mexi-
can or other local money and that of the
United States shall be deemed to be a
violation of the requirements Of this act"
The papers filed with Sc etary Root
allege that the act is unconstitutional and
ask that II be repealed

William E. Horton. who. according to d
despatch from Paris, has been awarded
a colonial decoration by the President OF
France for his services in finding the re-
mains OF Baron Dumarais. who was muir
dered in the Philippines. has been ap-
pointed a captain and assistant quarter
master in the Regular Army by the Presi-
dent Captain Horton has been decorated
also by the hereditary Prince of Armenia
for historical researches concerning the
Armenian royal house.
In the past three years this young Off
Ger has seen constant service in the
United States Army. He went to Tampa
as adjutant of the First District of CO.
lumbia Volunteers at the outbreak of the
Spanish-American war. and was appoint
ed captain and assistant adjutant general

kins. In the San Juan Hill engagement
he rendered conspicuous service In carry
ing orders and was recommended by Gem
erals Shafter and Hawkins for a lieu

A REDUCTION IN RUBBER.
The Trust Announces a New Cut of
5 Per Cent.

BOSTON, April IA further reduction
of per cent in Its price list was announc-
ed today by the United States Rubber
Company In comparison with the price
list of April l. 1900. the new list shows a
total reduction of % per cent. as cuts
amounting to q per cent were previously
made from the 1900 price list
The above reduction In prices applies
TO all goods on hand in the stores of the
jobbers in February and all shipments
since then. A director of the United
States Company says:
We have thrown down the gauntlet
to our competitors. We are going to sell
our goods and retain our business indie
pendent of the action of any Of the out
side concerns"
1t Is figured in the trade that the addi
tional 5 per cent cut in prices means a
loss of 81, 900 to the United States Com
pany on its rebates and orders on hand.
The % per cent cut in prices early In the
year resulted In a large movement of
goods and all the factories of the United
States Company have been working on
full time
1t is said that the Boston Rubber Shoe
Company recently had 50. O00. 900 of unfin-
ished orders on hand. The outside con-
panies have not announced their 1901
prices as yet and may not for a fort

MINISTER LOOMS RECALL.
II. Clay Evans May Be Given the Post
mt Caracas.

The recall of Minister LoDmis from Car
acas for a consultation with the State
Department has awakened Venezuela to
realization of the fact that the United
States is in a serious mood. Senior Pulido,
the Venezuelan Charge, has informed the
State Department that he does not in
tend to leave Washington. 1t is de-
cided change I'm his plans as he intended
a week ago to sail at once for Caracas
Should he take that step and should
Minister LOOMS post remain untitled. the
rupture OF diplomatic relations between
the two Governments would be complete.
Any further aggressions by the revolu-
tionary President, Castro, on American
citizens would be rebuked by a man-of-
war.
n. Clay Evans. Commissioner of Pen
sions. is being suggested as possible
successor to Mr. LOOMS. The qualities
which have earned for the Commissioner
unstinted abuse by the pension sharks are
those which recommend him to the Ad-
ministration at this juncture. 1t has been
the intention of the President to appoint
a new Commissioner in order that some of
the friction between veterans and the
Pension Bureau may be removed. The
recall of Minister LOOMS opens way
for his individual courage and at the same
time place a man at Caracas who wlll
stand no nonsense in Venezuela.
1t was believed for a while that Com
missioner Evans could be appointed Min
lister to Japan, but Mr.. Buck, of Georgia,
the leader OF the Republican delegation
in his State, refused absolutely to give
Ip his post, and he will return when his
present leave expires.
Minister LOOMS conduct of affairs has
been approved by Secretary Hay. but the
Minister is really i'll, and although faith
full to American interests. is not physi-
caliy fitted for the emergency. The con-
ditions in Venezuela are now so strained
as to threaten punitive operations If the
Venezuelans persist in their inprud mt
course.
The State and Navy Departments deny
a report that the North Atlantic Squa-
dron. now at San Juan, Porto Rico, Will
go to La Guayra. The squadron is under
orders to proceed to the United States,
stopping only at Kingston, Jamaica.
1t was said at the State Department
yesterday that it would be for Minister
oomis to decide whether he should re-
turn to Caracas. This indicates that the
Government will determine its course of
action on the statements of Mr.. Loomis.
There is now little attempt made In Of
fetal circles to conceal the opinion that
Mr. LOOMS has been treated discourteous-
ly by the Venezuelan authorities, and
that his presence in Caracas at this time
is a source of danger to the diplomatic
relations of the two countries.

great incentive to those who have heretofore
been unconcerned rs TO educational matters, IL
will spur them UP, nothing else can. to meet
the requirements. When they feel certain OF
ltPvng made il. they will stand on an exactly
equal footing with all other American classes.
Now. this is good. sound sense. The
danger to the american suffrage is not
the color of the man who deposits the
ballot, but the possible lack of his
capacity to know what he is voting Tor
This is a proposition of universal &C
ceptance among intelligent and par
otto citizens. without regard to their
political affiliations or the geographical
division of the country in which they
may happen To live We are not pro-
posing here to discuss the merits or
dement's of the North Carolina or other
state constitutional restrictions. Mary
land Is sui generis: her action has not
been in line with that of any other
State in attempts to purify the ballot.
IL stands by itself as an earnest and
honest effort to secure the good of the
Commonwealth. imposing no hardship
upon all classes. The Legislature
which had the courage and consistency
to pass such measure, and the Gov
ernor who signed it, are entitled to the
thanks of the American people for
assuming the initiative in what we
believe will be national movement of
suffrage reform.
There is no more reason why New
York and Pennsylvania, or Massachu-
setts, or Illinois should tolerate an
ignorant minority which may, and in
some States does, hold the balance of
power than there is that Maryland
should submit to ii. From the small
political point of view the parties would
suffer variously In numerical strength
through a general disfranchisement of
people unable to read the English lam
guage. In one or two of the great
cities it is no doubt true that the
Democratic vote would be diminished.
at least for time; while in others, like
Philadelphia, the Republicans would
lose by the operation. But the question
is not a party one. 1t is one of the
publication Of our electorate, 50 that
the apparent may become the reliably
true voice of the people.
Heretofore. in the State of Maryland,
under the manipulation of Republican
Legislatures, the franchise had practi-
cally been given in perpetuity TO any
one who mad once gained nominal
residence. Thus hordes of railway
laborers, temporarily employed in the
State, would be registered. Thereafter
the vote OF anybody offering to vote in
the name of one of these derelicts would
be taken without question. The new
law remedies this evil. and thus will
prevent the wholesale Importation of
Republican repeaters from the District
of Columbia, West Virginia, and Penn
sylvania, which has been a scandal to
the country for years past Maryland
has every reason TO be proud of her
work. She will be not long in finding
imitators
