Legal Decision Enables National

Saturday greatly simplfies the muddle into

TAKES GLOOMY VIEW.
kaiser's Speech to Prussian Diet
Read by Won BueloW.

Berlin. Jan. 8.-The speech from the
throne read by the imperial chancellor.
Count Won Buelow at the opening of
the Prussian diet today took gloomy
view of the economic situation. 1t
pointed out that the revenue from the
state railroads in 1901, fell considerably
snort of estimates and that the whole
results of the financial year were dis
appointing.
In the budget for 1902 the revenue
is estimated below that of the current
year; but the balance between the reye-
nue. and the expenditure is to be
maintained without having recourse to
a loan.
The speech announced plans for legfs-
lation providing for the housing of state
workmen and of officials earning small
salaries Considerable credits are de-
manded for the extension of the state
railroads and the promotion and con-
Struction of light railroads.
A new canal bill, to complete the sys-
tenn of waterways will be submitted.
The concluding portion of Emperor
WlllaIns speech pointed to the necessi-
ty OF adopting measures against the ag-
itation in the Polish districts of eastern
Prussia, declared that the upholding of
the political and economic position of
the German element was necessary for
the self preservation of Prussia and
promised that the government would
fulfill its duty in cultivating the Ger
man national spirit in that region and
in combating with firmness all tenden-
cies hostile to the state. In this course
the government counted on the support
of the German population of East Prus-
STA as we'll as on the assistance of the
whole nation, which regarded any at
tempt to drive out the German Ian
guage as an attack on it's national honor
and dignity.

ALBAUGH A GOOD GUEssER.
He Accurately Predicted Concerning
Kansas Bank Deposits.

Some time ago State Bank Commits
s1oner Albaugh in an interview in the
State Journal, stated that, paradoxical
as it seemed, the drouth of the past
summer was an indirect cause of the
big bank deposits in September, owing
to the fact that the farmers had PIT
their money into the banks instead of
into cattle because of the scarcity of
feed. He predicted that the next report
from the state banks in December
would show falling off in the bank de-
posits, because by that time the farm
ers would have begun to invest in cattle
again which would use up some of the
money lying idle in the banks.
The reports showing the conditions of
the state and private banks on Deem
Der 10 have just been compiled, ami
they prove that Mr.. Albaugh's preIic-
ton was correct. The deposits have de-
creased from $4,000, O94.31 on Septem-
Der 80, to $40 614, 1867 on December 10.
The loans and discounts on Decen4-
Der 10. were $2S, 35S. 30051, while on Sep
TENDER 80, they were $26, $50, 36533-
The cash and sight exchange on De-
cember 10, was $1S97S. $3.50 while on
September 80, it was $22, S79, 4S9.79.
This shows a decrease in deposits be-
tween the two reports of 81, $50. S3S. "A
and an increase in loans and discounts
of 81, 697, 935.1S and a decrease in cash
and sight exchange of 81, 600, 1854.
On September 30, there were 422 state
and private banks reporting to the de-
partment and on December 10, there

vate banks have been incorporated.

Captain on Lightship Kept From HIS
Dying Daughter by Storm.


New York, Jan. s.-A dispatch to the
coast of Massachusetts, gives an ac-
count of the manner in which Captain
Jorgenson of the lightship learned of
the illness and death of his daughter
through the wireless telegraph system.
Says the dispatch: Informed by wire
less telegraphy of the illness and death
of his daughter on the mainland, and
yet kept an unwilling prisoner for
seven days because of the extremely
rough sea, which prevented incoming
steamers from taking him off, Captain
ceeded in getting on board the steam
ship Astoria, which will carry him
ashore. Life on the storm swept light
ship has been almost unbearable for
Captain JOrgenSon since the receipt of
the first news of his daughters illness.
The girl, who was only 10 years old,
had been i'll from the effects of vaccina-
ton, at her home in Braintree, Mass.
News of her condition since she was
first taken i'll had been daily flashed to
her father at his lonely post by means
of the Marconi system. AS the daily
bulletins told of her rapid loss of
of lockjaw, which finally developed,
Captain Jorgenson's distress of mind
became greater day by day.
AT last came a dispatch announcing
her death on December 80
Although the seas rolled nearly as
high as ever on January 8, he resolved
to make desperate effort to get ashore.

time, but a n essage was flashed to the
shore for the lighthouse tender Azalea
to take him off. She approached to

WilliSend Many Representatives to

New York, Jan. S.-Great interest in
the Olympian games to be held in Chi

outlook is that this city will be repre-
sented magnificently in those compati-
tons. Mr.. Hyde already has spoken to
many prominent New Workers and in
vlted them to cooperate with him in
making arrangements to send to Chi
cago at the time the best horses and
whips the local field can supply. The
assurances he has received have given
him much encouragement.
The interest of Mr.. Hyde is more than

that city, are his personal friends
