CONDITION is SATISFACTORY
P~residolnt Roosevelt Continues In
Good spirits, but T~rRnsacts Only
Important Business.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The presidents
physicians dressed the wound in his leg to-
DAY and subsequently announced that the
condition of the injury was satisfactory.
The Inflammation Is recedlng slowly, but 1t
may be a day or two yet before the physi-
clans can state definitely that granulation
has set in without involving the bone.
The president continues in good spirits
and is taking his, enforced, confinement
philosophically. He spends the major por-
ton OF his time on a lounge reading, but is
ready to give his attention to business when
it is brought before him for action.
Yesterday he disposed Of several pardon
cases. The Members OF the cabinet are
cooperating with the physicians to secure
absolute rest and quiet for the president
by refraining from bringing to his attention
any except urgent business.
None Of the cabinet officials called dur
ing the morning and no one was admitted
to the presidents room. AS on previous
days, however. many persons stopped at
the. door of the temporary White House to
inquire about the condition Of the president
and to express their hopes for his speedy
recovery.

ReHr Admiral Ordered to Make a Re-
port on the Boxer COndI-
tiOns In hin

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Rear Admiral
Robley D.. Evans, second in m on
the Asiatic station and shortly to assume
supreme command of the United States
naval forces in the east, has been sent up
the great Yangtse river to investigate and
report upon the situation in the provinces
of China, which. according to recent ad-
vices from United States Minister Conger,
are about to become the scene OF another
Boxer uprising.
The Navy department received a cable
gram from Admiral Evans today, stating
that he had transferred his flag from the
battleship Kentucky to the gunboat Helena
and sailed from Woosung aboard the latter
vessel for Ichang, which is the highest
point on the great river to which a vessel
Of Helena's draft can go. Ichang lies
about 800 miles from the mouth of the
Yangtse and is in the province of HUI Peh.
About 100 miles to the west is the eastern
border of SEE Chuan province, in which
the massacre Of native Christians and the
destruction Of the chapels erected by the
missionaries occurred.

gates, which we're thrown open soon after
8 o'clock. The exact number who gained
entrance this way was not known last night,
but the management announced that at the
least count there were 5000. The selling
OF tickets was dispensed with and many
paid their admission fee at the gate. More
people were in attendance than on any night
during the, carnival last year and more
than the combined crowds OF the first three
nights of this year.
Before Z O'Clock Douglas street between
Sixteenth and Seventeenth was blocked and
tanned, and continued this way for hours.
The entire street in front of the Farnam
street entrance was a solid mass Of hu-
manity and it took the combined efforts of
several policemen to make room for the
passage OF street cars.
The carnival visitors, however, we're only
a small portion OF the crowd in the city.
Every street in the business portion Of the
town had it's share and until after midnight
thousands spent their time viewing the IL
Nominations.
The crowd on the grounds was out for a
good time and had it. The entire day shift
Of the police department was on hand to
preserve order and only ten arrests were
made. .E
From Black Hills Province.
In a special train OF FIVE coaches a large
caravan OF pilgrims from the Black Hills
arrived In omaha yesterday to worship at
The shrine OF King Ak-Sar-Ben, and in ac-
eordance with the w~ell-known hospitality
OF this city and its friendly feeling toward
its neighbors the travellers were made most
heartily welcome.
'lf you should happen to see anything
you don't want, just pass it up; but what
ever you see that you do want, is yours
so help yourself to IT," we're some OF tho
words In which Mayor Moores extended q
welcome to the visitors on behalf Of the
city, and in the greetings that were ex-
ended to them on all sides they wer,
made TO understand that the feeling wa
general and sincere.
The special train, made up OF hve coaches
started from Deadwood Friday Afternoon
at 2 o'clock with a party OF $50, consisting
principally Of residents Of that city, al
though there were about twenty from Lead
The train was met at Lincoln by a com
mittee, representing the Ak-Sar-Ben an,
consisting OF o Drexel, Frank Dunlop
Fred Paffenrath. David J. o'Bfien and A
Powell. and upon it's arrival here wa
given a most enthusiastic reception at tn
Burlington depot.
Committees and Band at Depot.
A committee, consisting of fifteen repre-
sentatives Of Omaha lodge Of Elks an
a like number OF the Knights OF Ak-Sar
Ben, was on hand with Covalt's band, an
when the train pulled in Just before 2:S
the depot yards presented a scene of Joy

march to the Elks' hall, the men walking
in double file.
At the EIks' Hall.
At the hall, when all were assembled,
Frank Crawford, exalted ruler OF the Elks,
welcomed the visitors on behalf of that
boiy, saying that 1t was not intended to
ha We any formal exercises. for The citizens
of Omaha had felt the greeting to their
%neighbors from the Black Hills in the
hearty clasp of the hand and the friendly
gllnce of the eye rather than in words of
Formally. He then called upon Mayor
Moores, whose remarks we're entirely free
from ceremonial stiffness and full OF hearty
hospitality. as is indicated in the words
quoted above.
Mayor Moores aimed a few friendly
thrusts at Mayor Mcdonald Of Deadwood,
who is of the visiting party, and said that
he believed Mayor Mcdonald could show his
friends about Omaha in a pretty knowing
manner. but in case he should fail in any
respect the mayor Of omaha would come
to the rescue and he had the "deadwood''
on Omaha, Just as the mayor Of Deadwood
was supposed to have the lockwood" on
Deadwood. In closing Mayor Moores in
vited the visitors to call up "55" in case
they should get into trouble.
Mayor of DeadwOOd Speaks.
Mayor Mcdonald was then called upon
and paid a high compliment to Omaha ~
the score Of its progress and enterprise
as shown in its astounding growth OF com
paratively a few years. In taking a retro
spective glance he could recall, he said, &
time when the people of the Black HILL
and the great west generally heard only o.
San Francisco as a great city in the west
ern county, but now everything worthy o.
attention appeared to come from Omaha OF
to be originated in Omaha. He said tina
although he was a member OF the Ak-Sar
Ben he was not fully acquainted with thu
nature OF that organization; but he did
know that it represented a great powe
and exerted 8 great influence for the bes
interests OF the community In which 1
operated. He was proud to be a membe
Of 1t and was glad to be welcomed to it
stronghold.
The party which arrived yesterday will
remain 20 the close Of the festival an,

emit portions OF the Black Hills. Sinai
parties arrived on the later trains OF yes

cursion party which will get In some tim

support the weight OF the 500 and 1000
pound stones, which were placed as a sill
coping on the sixth floor.
These immense stones and a part Of the

KNEW HOW

How a trained nurse keeps up strength
on properly selected food is worth know
ing. The experience of Mrs. Charlotte

familiar to many. She says:

what the FinRncier says.
The New York Finsncier this week says:
The official statement OF the New York
associated banks last week showed a sub
s%tantial recovery in the Surplus reserve.
the result Of a small gain in cash instead
Of a considerable loss and also a reduction
in reserve requirements caused by the gem
eral contraction OF loans.
The specie was increased 1898, 900, while
the legal tenders decreased $1s2, 900, making
the net gain in cash 81, 700. 700. The loans
show a contraction Of S13, 1852, 500 against
I'll 1864, 500 in the previous week and a larger
reduction than for any week since the mon
etary arrangement began. The total de-
crease since August 16 has been $54, 1885,
200.
"The deposits fell of last week S12, S5l. 900,
making a total since the above named date
Of $SS, 727, 900. The required reserve was re-
duced S3,0S7,975 through last weeks de-
crease in deposits, which sum, added to the
net gain in cash Of 81, 700, 200. made an in
crease Of 4,7SS,6 S5 in reserve to SO, 1856 .625
surplus. Last year at the corresponding
date the surplus was $16. 29S, O25. The cir
culation was increased by 1915, 500 and, as
has recently been the case. this was dis
tributed among the larger institutions. The
average daily clearings OF the banks
amounted to $244, 900, 900, against $3.50, 900,
900 in the previous week.
Bank Reserves Are Higher.
so far as the cash reserves Of the banks
are concerned. they were doubtless greater
at the end of the week than was shown.
The 100000 gold from London and the
81, 0OO. 900 gold from Australia which was
transferred hither from San Francisco by
telegraph did not reahch the banks until
Thursday and therefore this amount Of ST.
000,0 00 counted under the system OF av.
erages for but one-third of $3.50 900. There
was a transfer from San Francisco on Fri.
day Of $780, 900 gold, which counted for but
one day, or 100000, and the remainder o.
these several amounts will be reflected IL
the current weeks statement. Presumably
the contraction In loans which has been IL
progress for the last six weeks will NJ
longer be necessary now that the reserves
have begun to recover and unless the veal
speculation should be greatly stimulated b!
the improved condition OF the banks ant
monetary prospects there should be a res
t~oratlon of the normal situation. More re
lief will be afforded through the arrival o
gold now in transit, and also through tn,

result in more than offset in the absorp,
