UNEASY LIES THE HEAD THAT
WEARS THE RUSSIAN CROWN

Berlin, March 23.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Cologne
Volks Zeitung, under date of March

st. Petersburg of plots against the au

ing distributed to the factory hands in
st. Petersburg and vicinity to induce
them to join the disaffected students.

money comes, but indications point to
high sources about the court.

JAPAN
TO RESIST RUSSIA

London. March 23.-The foreign Of
flee takes Il pessimistic view of the
situation in the East, in spite of the
settlement of the Tien-Tsin question,
and entertains grave fears that the re-
lations between Japan and Russia may
shortly reach the danger point.
Judging from information obtained
in various official quarters in London,
Japan has confided to at least some of
the powers her determination to OPP
pose mt all costs any secret agreements
made between Russia and China by
which the former could secure terrific
rial or other advantages contiguous to
Korea.
The British government has received
no official confirmation that the Japan
csc fleet is mobilizing. but it would not
be surprised to learn that such We're
the facts. A highly placed British Off
cial said to-day:
"All Japan wants is n free hand
against Russia. This she has got. so
far as England and Germany are o
ccrned, and. l presume, so far as the
United States government is con-
cerned, although l do o imagine for
one moment that any of the powers
mentioned would be drawn into n fight
between Japan and Russia. If Japan
sees nothing for 1t but to fight, she
would have the moral support If OBJ
jections committed to paper by at least
W other powers against secret trea-
ties with China. That is all; but Japan
seems to consider 1t sufficient to pro-
vide against interference"
Confirmation of the foregoing defini-
ton of the situation was afforded by
the secretary of the Japanese legation.
Yokohama, March 23.-The japanese
press, when discussing the Mapchu-
rian convention, recognizes the difficult
ties Of Germany's position, and admits
that whatever Japan does, she must
be prepared for war.

OIL EXCITEMENT AT
EVANSTON WYOMING

Cheyenne, Wyo., March 23.-(Denver
Republican special.)-Colonel F. NJ.
Foote of Evanston to-day stated thar
the oil excitement near Evanston Is at
fever heat. Over 621 square miles of
oil land has been taken up during the
past few days, since the Union Pacific
struck a flow of oil while drilling for
water.
The larger tracts of land are held by
Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake parties,
although residents of Evanston and
the vicinity have not been slow to see
the advantage Of securing oil lane and
have filed on small tracts.
Colonel Foote states that the oil
from the well being driven by the rail-
road company is a high-grade lubricat-
ing article and is valued Mt about IS
per barrel. The flow is continuous and
with n little more boring, it is be-
lieved, the well will be n gusher.
Experienced oil men are coming in
from all parts of the country, lut
more especially from the California
and Pennsylvania fields. All pro
nounce the oil near Evanston of won
derful richness and all say the indi-
cations are thar southwestern Wyom-
ing will soon have one of the largest
and richest oil sections in the coun-
try.

lired with steel armor. Evidence OF
new plots is general.
Orders were given Saturday night to
keep all the troops in st. Petersburg
ready. Sunday the police were dis
tributed in force on all the main
streets of the city. The military
commander of st. Petersburg, NJ.
Kleigels. received many warnings.
The Berliner Tageblatt prints n spe-
cial from st. Petersburg saying the
Karpovitch investigation has revealed
a great plot, similar to the Nihilistic
conspiracy. with Kieff as n center,

Car, who was %thereupon removed to

For the last ten nights the troops Of
the Moscow garrison have slept in
their clothing, ready for instant action.

finally settled without bloodshed.

WONDERFUL INCREASE in
NATIONAL BANK ASSETS

some sections the percentage Of in
crease Is greater than in New York.
Texas is a conspicuous example of the
great prosperity enjoyed throughout
the South. Since January 1, 1900. fifty
nine new banks have been established
IL this district, most of them in ac-
cordance with the act of March ID,
1900. The number recently reported to
the treasury was 2SS, about the same
as New York. Resources and deposits
of National banks of Texas are $126,-
96S,512 and S77.457,12J exceeding the
December record by S4,3OO,31S and S3,-
oT3,2SO respectively.
Probably the most remarkable re-
ports are made by the Oklahoma ma
tional banks. whose abstracts reflect
the substantial increases in deposits
and resources of S1,023,554 and S942,-
S47. In this this territory twenty-one
national banks have beer established
since January %, 1900.
In Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and
Illinois, including their principal cities,
big increases in national bank assets
have been observed and the same en-
couraging reports are made concerning
the bank statements from other states
and cities whose accounts have been
balanced. Judging from the general
run OF the completed abstracts, officials
predict that the grand total of aggre-
gate and individual deposits
of all the national banks in the United
States, including those in Alaska and
Hawaii. will eXceed by many millions
the high water mark recorded Deem
Der 18th. when the resources were So
49,, OS9, 692 and the individual deposits
were S2,623, 997 ,521.
The six greatest financial cities in
the United States, as reckoned by those
reports, rank at present as follows:
New York. Boston, Chicago, Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg and st. Louis.

New York. March pa special
from Washington to the Herald says:
The controller of the currency will
soon publish n complete statement
from all national banks in the United
States. As this is made in answer to
the first call for 1901. the results are
being awaited with much interest. The
time between December 18th and Feb
ruary 9Th, the date of the call, is said
in Industrial circles to be n dull sea-
son. But figures already obtained
from abstracts reflect surprisingly
large gains as compared with the pre-
vious statement, which was n record
breaker.
The aggregate resources of the 3So
banks in New York state are S20G, 49,
$50, which is S226.GO1 less than the
amount recorded December 18th, but is
substantially greater than the figures
of the first statement in 1900, which
did not reach the S200.OOO,OO0 mark.
The new statement show the amount
of Individual deposits of the Empire
state national banks, which is consid-
cred the bankers barometer, to be
S123 1866, T73, n gain of 1904, 4S6. The
fourty-four national banks in New
York City have total and in
dividual deposits of S1,255,S47.ST7, and
1853. 15O,G5T respectively. which exceed
the preceding official figures by the
morn sums of S4S4,267, 1877 and
$50 49, 1913 respectively. The total re-
sources of the national banks in the
state are 81, SOC, 63S, $50, while individ-
ual deposits mount to 500, T05,00i. 1t
is estimated that the savings bank re-
sources and individual deposits. con
bined with those of the national banks,
the total bank assets in the entire state
would be approximately S2,OOO,OOO,OOO
and the deposits 81 900, 100000
