SITUATION IN VENEZUELA.
SCORPION TO REMAIN AT LA GUAYRA-
NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON TO
CRUISE NEAR BY

Washington, Jan. 1S-The orders to the Scor-
pion to proceed from La Guayra to Guanoco
nave been countermanded, and she will remain
at La Guayra, where her presence is regarded
as necessary. By direction of the State Depart
ment, Minister Loomis has protested TO the
Venezuelan Government against the exercise of
censorship over any of his official communica
tions, and it is understood that the protest has
been effective.
1t cannot be gathered that any very late ad-
vices have caused the change in the Depart
ment's plans relative to the movements of the
Scorpion. In fact, it is said that nothing has
been received to show any marked change in
the status in Venezuela since yesterday, when
Minister LOomis spoke of the suppression of a
rebellion among the troops in Caracas the very
inception of which was unknown to the Depart
ment of State. The fact that such movement
could gain headway in Castro's own capital
however, is significant and this rebellion among
the troops may have led to the decision to re-
tain the Scorpion at La Guayra the nearest port
to Caracas.
The naval authorities consulted during
the day to the feasibility of reinforcing the
American naval force in Venezuela. but, while
some such thing is in prospect, it cannot be
learned that any positive orders have yet gone
out. The Hartford is not within reach of the
cable, being on cruise from Port of Spain for
Barbados, at which place she is due in about
two days She may be turned back from that
port unless the situation improves. The Lam
caster sailed from Port of Spain on Wednesday
for the Cape Verde Islands, she is beyond
reach.
There is no disposition on the part of the au-
thorities here to go to any unusual length in
dealing with this situation, and they say frankly
that it is not part of their purpose to browbeat
or coerce the Venezuelans by any formidable
naval demonstration, unless such course is alb
sClutely forced upon them which is not believed
to be at all likely. But it is quite certain that
Admiral Farquhar will shape the movements of
the North Atlantic Squadron to keep in
close touch with the Navy Department, and he
will not be far away from a cable end for many
days at time after he leaves Florida.
Mr.. LOomiss protest against any censorship
of his official mail on the part of the Venezuelan
by the Departments direction, only upon
we'll grounded suspicion that his cables were be-
ing tampered with unreasOnably delayed
His protest made several days ago. and
principally from the character of the exchanges
that have taken place since between the State
Department and its Minister at Caracas, the
officials satisfied that the censorship over
Mr.. LoomIss communications has ceased AL
though aware of the restrictions imposed by the
communications the State Department has not
felt itself able to interfere at this stage to
vent this practice which is said TO be common
in South and Central American countries when
the Government is getting the worst of a revo-
lutionary movement.

BIG GAINS IN BANK DEPOSITS.
ENORMOUS INCREASE IN ASSETS REFLECTS
THE CoUNTRY's PROSPERITY.

Washington, Jan. IS (SpeciaD.-In response to
the fifth and last call of the Controller of the
Currency for the year 1900, statements have
been sent to the Treasury Department from all
of the 3942 National banks in the various States
and Territories, showing the condition OF the
banks on December 81, 1900, Tomorrow a
detailed report will be issued by the Treasury
Department disclosing enormous increase in
the banks aggregate assets. well as remarka-
BILE gains in individual deposits, since September
3 the date of the previous call for statements
The figures of the new statement will establish
a new high record for the Department exceed
ing by many millions those of the September
statement. which was a record breaker.
Four months ago the total assets of all the
National banks were shown to be S3,04S, l3S. 499'
whereas the assets of all the banks on Decem-
Der 81, 1900 were So 142 0S9692, an increase of
S93 951 1893 The former statement showed the
individual deposits at that time to be SOUS
04S M while the individual deposits at the end
of last wear amounted to $2,623. .991, ,521, gain
OF SI1574 964. These figures also establlsh
new high record
Except in rare cases, the reports nave IN
dicated a steady increase in assets, and officials
rredict that to-morroW's statement Will show
that bank reserves are generally above legal re-
ouirements Probably the most significant feat-
lIre of the statement is the enormous increase or
individual deposits which goes to snow now

A TEST OF THE BANKRUPTCY ACT.
SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE ON QUESTION
OF PREFERENCE.


Washington, jan B.-Argument was begun in
the United States Supreme Court to-day in the
case Of Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co., appellants
against the Chicago Title and Trust Company
Henry Ach beginning the presentation of the ques-
ton for the appellants The case involves the con-
struction OF the Bankruptcy law. and much inter
est is manifested in the proceeding among busi-
ness generally.
The case comes to the Supreme Court from the
Circuit Court OF Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
holding that the claim of the appellants, creditors
OF Frank Brothers, bankrupts, be disallowed on
the ground that moneys paid by an insolvent TO a
creditor in the usual and ordinary course Of busi-
ness within four months preceding the date OF
the filing Of a petition in bankruptcy by the IN
solvent constitutes preference under Sections o1G
GA and COB of the Bankruptcy act irrespective OF
the fact that the creditor so receiving such pay
ments is not aware of the fact that his debtor Is
insclvent or that preference is thereby in
tended.
II is contended that the question of law involved
in the presents itself in the administration or
every bankrupt estate In which assets have come
into the trustees hands. and on account or the
conflicts OF decisions constituting the mentioned sec
tons OF the Bankrupt act great confusion has
arisen is likely arise, in the administration
Of bankrupt estates, until the pending case Is
