Only one State has over 100000 in

PENNSYLVANIA and Delaware are the

There are three Springfelds in the list

BANKERS WARNED.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT ASKS
AID TO AVERT PANIC.
Unless Speculative Craze Is Stopped
Financial Disaster Is Feared-Dau-
ger in the Withdrawal of Money from
the Regular Channels of Trade.

United States treasury officials are
concerned about the result of the over
speculation in Wall street. A Washing
ton correspondent says that they have re-
ported the matter to the President, and
the influence. of the Treasury Depart
ment is being exerted more and more 10
induce the New York banks to act in a
more conservative manner. Treasury
people talked with say that while there
is no doubt in regard 10 the general conf
mercial prosperity of the country, there
is cause for alarm in the conditions mani
tested in Wall street.
There has been, these officials say, a
perfect mania for the organization of
trusts, and the securities of these NAM
moth corporations have been dealt in
with feverish activity on the Stock Elk
change.
The Treasury Department is not at all
concerned about ordinary stock jobbing
schemes, so far as they affect the specu-
lating element only. The financial Off
GERS Of the government have been preach
ing conservatism for some time. They
say there has been large overcapitaliza-
ton in many of the industrial enterprises,
AMI a day of reckoning is certain when
an effort is made to squeeze the water
out of these securities.
The thing which is troubling the treas
ury officials is not the fact that there has
been frantic speculation in Wall street,
but rather the fact that money which be-
longs to legitimate commercial enter
prises has been diverted into the avenues
of speculation. This money must get
back into the ordinary channels some
how, and a great fear is expressed by
the treasury people that a possible panic
on Wall street may have serious eff
feet upon general business.

Deaths in Battle and bv Disease.
The Philippine war has resulted in
heavy losses of men, arms and supplies
to the Filipinos. Ii is estimated by the
War Department that at least 10000 Of
the natives who have been fighting
against American authority have been

In his annual report for 1890 Maj.

10000 to 10000 men. Officials Of the
War Department now Admit that while
this estimate may have been true Of the
army proper, it is certsinly not true Of

CONDITION OF CROPS.
WEATHER BUREAUS WEEKLY AG-
RlCULTuRAL REPORT.
Weather Abnormally Cool and Uufav-
orabIe for Termination and Growth
Farm Work Retarded in Some Sec
tions by Rains.

The weekly crop report of the weather
bureau shows that over the greater part
of the country east of the Rocky Noun
tains the week has been, abnormally cool
and unfavorable for termination and
growth. Excessive rains retarded farm
work in the States of the middle Rocky
Mountain slope aRd lower Missouri val
ley, while a large part of the lake region,
southern Florida and California need
rain. With the exception of portions of
the lake region, FLORIDA, Texas and
California, there is generally ample mois-
ture in the soil, and the conditions now
most needed, especially in the central
valleys and middle Atlantic States, are
sunshine and warmth. In Texas, where
it has been very dry, good rains have
fallen over the eastern and central por-
tions of the State.
Slow progress has been made with corn
planting, none having yet been planted
north of the Ohio river or farther north
than southern, Missouri TO the westward.
Poor stands are generally reported in the
Southern States. where the bulk of the
crop has been planted, and a portion is
under cultivation.
Nearly all reports from the winter
wheat States show that winter wheat has
made favorable progress, although it's
growth has not been rapid, owing to low
temperatures In Texas the crop has
been materially improved where rains
have fallen, but in that State, as well as
III Oklahoma, the crop has been seriously
damaged by insects. On the Pacific
coast the condition of the crop continues
promising, with the exception of the late
sown in California, which is suffering for
rain.
Spring wheat seeding is well advanced
over the southern portion of the spring
wheat region, and some has been sown on
the highlands in northern Minnesota. In
South Dakota the early sown is germi-
mating well. Dat seeding has been rapid
ly pushed in portions of the central val
leys, some having been sown as far north
as southern Minnesota and New York,
but slow progress has been made in Ken
lucky and portions of Missouri.
Although some cotton has been planted
in the northern portion of the cotton belt.
and planting is general in the central
and southern districts, the cool weather
has retarded this work, and that planted
is terminating slowly. In Virginia, the
Carolinas and Kentucky tobacco plants
are very backward, but in Maryland they
are in Il more thrifty condition.
While light frosts occurred as far
South as Tennessee and the Carolinas, no.
injury to fruit is reported in the districts
east of the Rocky Mountains; the gen
eral fruit outlook continues very promis-
vious week to deciduous fruits in Cali
fornia. while serious, were less damaging
than first estimated. In southern Ore
gon fruit has suffered considerably from
frosts, but in Washington frosts have
done but little damage, the buds having
been held in check by cool weather.

NICARAGUA ROUTE FAVORED.


The isthmian canal commission, which
has been engaged for two years in in
vestigating the several canal routes to
connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
has completed its report. The commits
sion is unanimously and emphatically in
favor of the Nicaragua route. though a
canal by that route will cost $40,000,000
or S50.000,000 more than TO complete the
Panama canal. The commission found
many difficulties in the way of accepting
the Panama canal, both in construction
and in the concession.
1t would be impossible for the Panama
Canal Company TO dispose of its fran
chise to any other government 1t would
also be impossible for Colombia to grant
a new concession to the United States.
The commission could find no way posi-
BILE for this governments taking up the
Panama canal. 1t therefore recommends
the construction of the Nicaragua canal,
and gives the estimates for its cost. The
estimated cost of the canal is $500, 540,-
COO This is for canal suitable for
navigation by the largest ships now in ex
istence If a single lockage system only
were provided the cost would be reduced
by $19.G7S,00 and further reduction
of S16,949,000 could be made by narrow
ing the bottom width one-third in all the
excavated channels. These reductions
would bring the estimated cost of the
canal down to $163, 913, 600.

TRADE SHOWS LARGE GAINS.
Government Report on Wheat an Indi-

cation of Continued Prosperity.
The tone of general business has heen
better this week. Married activity in
the distribution of merchandise is reflect
ed in the gains of 45.9 per cent in bank
clearings at New York. compared With
1900. Even the textile markets show pro-
nounced gain. Activity in the metals
division has taken pig iron production to
near record figures, and some dealers do
not see how production Of partly finished
forms this year is to be made to meet the
demand. The government report of the
condition of wheat on April is the sur
est possible basis upon which eXPecta-
ton of continued commercial PROSPERITY
could be founded. Stringency of money
