Prominent Bankers Say 1t is Purely
u m Matter.

New York. Sept. 22.-Promient bank
ers in the Wall street district, today
reiterated the opinion hat the deficit
of about a million and = a in the
bank reserves was a purely sentiment
al matter, meaning nothing in the face
Of the immense actual reserves Of the
banks.
The deficit of Saturday." said Frank
A. Vanderlip, vice-president Of the
National City Bank, means absolute
ly nothing in the face Of ample de-
posits. The law requires a reserve Of
twenty-five per cent. of net deposits.
That is a safety reserve. With a de-
f1icit Of a million and a half it is only
a fraction of a per cent. below this,
and Is per cent. is an ample fraction
of safety. If it should come to a de-
fiicit amounting to a respectable per-
centage, it would be serious, wen when
the Isl of low reserves in the banks
here are legitimate and the low re-
serves mean healthy business cundi-
tions, but it's nothing now.

knew under a cruel ~oiigarchy.
President Roosevelt dove from the
armory to the steamer A~sh:7oor, on
board Of which he spcnt three hours
riding on the river. During the ride the
steamer went far enough into canadian
waters so that the president was. for
q short time, in King Edwards oman.
The president returned at ) o'clock
and participated in the parale of the
Spanish war veterans. which he later
reviewed. He was given q great popu-
lar ovation during the entire afternoon.
The greatest crowds ever seen in the
city lined the streets through which the
parade passed and a great wave OF
thunderous cheers swept them from
end to end, as the president drove by.
For what Is believed 10 have been the
first time in the history OF the country,
a president of the United States this
afternoon reviewed a regiment OF Brit
ish troops, the Twenty-firSt Essex fusi-
liers, participated in the parade by the
special permission Of this government
and the Canadian military department.
At the conclusion Of the banquet the
president called Lieutenant Colonel
Bartlett, their commander, to his ia bic
and congratulated him on the fine ap-
~pearance of his command. which re-
ceiyed a veritable ovation On the line OF
march. Soon after the arrival of the
presidential party, commander Rich
o 2. Hobson. United States navy,
arrived at at the armory and took his
seat at the presidents table. He was
given an enthusiastic reception as he
assembled the platform and greeted the
president.
Captain HObson did not arrive In the
city until this evening and came direct
to the armory.

While Praying at the Bier, the King
Says He Will Not Receive Her.

Brussels, Belgium, Sept. 22.-The
scandal arising from the revival of the
family quarrel between King Leopold
and his daughter, the Princess Step
hanie( Countess of Lonyay) beside the
bier of the late Huen Marie Henriette.
at Spa, yesterday. is agitating all
classes. Popular sympathy on all sides
is expressed for the princess, who, al
though deeply affected by the Incl
dent, makes no complaint. The prin-
cess herself has given out a simple
statement of the facts as follows:
The precise facts are these: / was
praying at the bier of the queen when
some one came about 4 o'clock to tell
me the king would not receive me. / i'm
mediately left the death chamber. 1
had no interview with his majesty"
1t was hoped by the public, who ap-
plauded Princess Stephanie's love-
match with the Count of Lonyay, that
h death of the queen would lead to
healing the rupture, but the incident
at Spa is taken to demonstrate that the
king is as irreconcilable as ever to
what he openly a designated as a
meSalliance
The princess will not be at her
mothers funeral. She started for
Clais this afternoon h was accord
large crowds of people at the railroad
station, while cries:
"Vive La Countesse" were raised. to
which h replied: Il thank you with
all my heart
Then, apparently quite overcome by
the popular demonstration the princess
burst into tears.

CABLEGRAM FROM MCLEAN.
Disnrms Colombian Troops Before
Allowing Them Passage Across the
Isthmus.

Washington. September 22.-The navy
department is in receipt of the follow
ing cablegram from Commander Nc
Lean, of the cruiser Cincinnati, dated
Colon. September 20:
The United States guards and guar
antees traffic and the line Of transit.
Today L permitted the exchange of Co.
lombian troops from Panama to Colon,
about 1000 men each way, the troops
without arms, in rain, guarded by
American naval force in the same man
ner as other passengers, arms and am
mun1tion in separate, guarded also by
naval force in the same manner as other
freight"
Officials of the Colombia here predict
that a storm of disapproval will
arise in Colombia as a result
of Commander McLean's action in dis
arming the Colombian troops before
their passage across the isthmus. 1t is
stated here that Colombia's agreement
with Panama Railroad Company Speci-
fcally provides for the transportation
of Colombian soldiery by the railroads,
when occasion arises and the command
erS action is regarded at the legation
here as a direct infringement of Colom-
bias sovereignty over the isthmus.
A belief which has crown so strong
that 1t no longer can be diSregarded, is
held in Central and South American
diplomatic quarters here, in regard to
this latest, n in point of numbers, al
most unprecedented dispatch of naval
force to the Istmus. This belief (and it
hould be stated that the impression
prevails in spite of emphatic expressions
Of high officials of the United States
government to the contary) is that the
large naval force Whic has been sent to
keep traffic open across the Isthmus
VIII eve by it's very presence, the
continuation of hoStilities along the
railroad on any extensive scale and soon
bring them to a halt altogether; that the
force has been sent there in anticipa-
ton of an early signature of the Pana-
ma canal treaty and that it will be
kept there to maintain order.
The Panther Arrives.
Colon. Colo, September 22.-The Unit
ed States auxiliary cruiser Panther
from the League Island navy yard with
a battalion of marines on board has
just arrived here. Efforts are being
made to secure suitable quarters here
