] NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Financier

r NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Financier says: ..
 The most striking feature of last weeks bank. statement was the slight change in the loan items There was a reduction of $1 ,645,000. which was the
 more notable because it followed more or less important increases in recent weeks
 This reduction would seem to indicate not only that there was no negotiation of moment to call for large loans. but that the banks, as rule, have restricted their discounts to current requirements, and have refrained from expansion, an tfcfpating an early demand for money for the crops. There was a loss of g, TO- 900 in cash dividend equally between specie and legal tenders. The cash was influenced lat week chiefly by the sub treasury operations. Early in the week payments by this office were unusually large for the transfers to Manila and to London and also for pensions and other purposes. but at the same time receipts for duties and international taxes were heavy. and after Wednesday these re- ceipts were sufficient to counterbaiance ordinary disbursements, so that by the end of the bank week. the treasury re- ceipts had exceeded payments. so far as the banks were concerned. by about $l1S,- GOO. On Friday the assistant treasurer was debtor q, 339 ,863 at the clearing house so that the cash return of the banks for the week was made on rising averages
 The interior movement of cash, as shown by the preliminary estimates indicated some withdrawals of money hence for the south. and the movement apparently re- suited in net gain of about H,00o 900. The bank statement, however, seemed to show that there was larger drain of money due to the interior movement than was calculated upon in the above noted estimates. The sub-treasury opera tions during the week were so distinctly traceabe that it does not appear proba- ble that the loss of cash resulted to any great extent from such operation The decrease of only $751 800 in deposits is very much smaller than that which was called for by the total loss in cash and the reduction in loans. which total was 4.3649o0. One feature of the statement was the decrease of sl,514,2oo in circula- ton, which. reflects the elimination from the statement of National bank circula- tion. caused by the merger of the Bank of the Republic with the First National
 The surplus reserve was reduced $2521.- 050, and 1t now stands at s1S,421 300. This may be regarded as a sufficient. If not indeed an ample margin In view of the fact that the banks are now pursuing an extremely conservative course in the matter of loans. and that the require , ments of stock exchange borrowers are not especially urgent at the moment.

ENGLAND Cannot
CONQUER BOERS
Commandant Snyman
Says His People Will
Be Victorious.

There was a large audience at Metro
nolitan Temple last night to hear Com
mandant w. D. Snyman of General De
vets staff of the Boer army in South
Africa lecture for the benefit of the Boer
women and orphans. Commandant Sny-
man devoted considerable time to dis
cussion of the causes which led up to the
South African trouble He pronounced
the war an unholy one and predicted that
England would yet see her opponents VIC
toriOuS.
The lecturer deplored what he termed a
falling off in the interest which has here
tofore characterized the American people
in the Boer cause. He declared that the
same principle animateS the Beers that
actTated our forefatherS in the war of the
Revolution-that Of securing liberty from
q Government which is bent on crushing
them out of existence lie PAID hlgh
tribute to President Kruger, who, he said,
was an upright and just man.
''This war will end" said Commandant
Snvman. "only when the British Govern
rnent has exterminated the BOer race. We
will keep up the struggle until we regain
ol1r freedom, our homes and our families.
THE Poers are in better condition to-day
than they were fifteen months ago. We
are dailv receiving new acquisitions in our
ranks and we will prolong the war until
there is not a drop of blood left IN our
veins Even some of the English people
,n england pronounce the war an unjust
one on the part of the British Govern
After his lecture Mr.. Snyman explained
a number Of interesting steropticon views
on incidents Of the Boer campaign in
south Africa. Mrs. Anthony, a lady who
x,as imprisoned in one of the English con-
cent ra ton camps, gave an account of her
experiences.

FATHER CARAHER
IS HOME AGAIN
Returns to Resume His
Duties in ST. Francis
Parish.

After a year spent in touring Europe
the Rev. Father E. Caraher returned TO
this city yesterday to resume his duties
as pastor of st. Francis Church.
Father Caraher visited nearly every city
,of any prominence in Europe during his
absence and being a close observer he has
a most interesting story to tell of his
travels. Last Easter Sunday morning he
had the honor and proud distinction Of
celebrating mass at the Holy Sepulcher.
There were six masses celebrated there
that morning, and four of them were Of
fered up by foreign priests.
On Christmas eve Father Caraher was
in Rome and attended the grand and SOL
emn service of the closing of the holy door.
During the service Pope Leo was carried
through St. Peters in state and blessed
the faithful. Stopping at a confessional
that contained the ashes of Saint Peter
and Saint Paul, he knelt down in silent
prayer for several minutes. On reaching
the holy door he took a golden troWel and
with it laid the first brick that closed the
gateway for the next twenty-five years.
Father Caraher met President Kruger
while in Paris and was graciOusly re-
ceived by him and his Cabinet. President
Kruger spoke most gratefully of the many
kindly acts of the American people and of
the Encouragement extended to the Beers
in their struggle for liberty.
A lecture entitled Easter at the Holy
Sepulcher'' will be given in the near fu-
ture by Father Caraher An interesting
feature of the lecture will be a graphic
description Of the tomb of our Savior and
of how mass is celebrated there.

and during his stay in the East he will
take an active part in the arrangements
for extending the Chinese exclusion legis-

Dunn said last night that the project of
imposing a polltax upon all Mongolian
immigrants was coming to the surface,
but that when the subject was broached
to President Mckinley a few years ago
the President did not approve Of the pro-
posed plan. poll tax to be effective
should be heavy enough to be prohibitory
so far as the coolie classes of Mongolians
are concerned.
