PEACE PACT FOR NATIONS.
Treaty Between England
and France Likely.

Paris, August 5.-Baron D'Estournellos
de Constant. who headed the French par
liamentary arbitrat ton group on it's recent
visit to London. has written an important
letter to Foreign Minister Delcasse, set
ting forth the results of the recent eX-
change of views in London and Paris
between members Of the British and
French parliaments and the leading min
listers Of the two governments. The
conferences included those with Foreign
Minister Lansdowne and Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain, and there Is good rea-
son to believe that Baron d Estournelles.
in the references he makes In his letter
to the conclusion Of an arbitration treaty
for the settlement of the outstanding An
glo-French difficulties. has the distinct
approval of those controlling Great Brit
aims foreign policy. while his suggestion
for a reduction Of naval force is due en-
tirely to the initiative of the leading
members of the British ministry.
The letter says that during twenty years
the fear Of parliamentary opposition has
alone prevented the settlement of the
Anglo-t'reLcn difficulties. and that now
that fear is dispe!led nothing prevents
the adoption Of cGIcllia tory policy All
the British statesmen whom he saw. with
out distinction of party, says the baron.
were unanimous in desiring this suggested
new policy, which must be clearly defined
as the forner 0na was obscure.
The new policy has three essential OBJ
sects:
First, the conclusion of "a reasonable ar
bitratlQn treaty similar 10 that negotiated
between Great Britain and the United
States and In accordance with clause 10
of The Hague International arbitration
convention; second. a reduction III the
Overwhelming naval expenses. an agree
ment with France and Russia concern
ing which the baron claims to have
received categorical verbal and written
assurances third. friendly settlement
of the outstanding differences, which,
for twenty years. have vainly exhausted
the resources of diplomacy.
Baron d Estournelles urges Minister
Delcasse not to let this favorable moment
slip by and declares that with equal good
will on both sides these three general
agreements with Great Britain can oe
signed in a few months

TROOPS CLAIM MILLIONS.
Gomez Completes List of Cuban
Sololers Entitled to Pay.

Havana August 3.-Ceneral Maxine &C.
meg, the chairman of the committee deal
ing with the matter has Just completed
a list of the revolutionary soldiers enti-
tied to pay.
In an interview with the Associated
Press correspondent. General Gomez said
the list consists Of about fifty thousand
soldiers and does not include civil en-
ployees. He believes that the pending
loan will not cover more than half the
claims and anticipates that the Cuban
congress will provide for the payment
of the balance IN some form Of due bill,
payable with interest, after q consider
able interval, and probably discountable
and transferable. The general says the
work Of his commission is final
General Gomez said the rate OF wages
allowed to an ordinary soldier is 81 a day
during the period of his service Ser
geants and commissioned officers are
separately computed, tho amounts al
lowed ranging from few hundred doi-
lars to s2O000 the latter sum being al
lowed no himself as commander in chief
The pay Of plany generals and colonies
is fixed at $4,000 and upward The ma
iority of the privates will receive In the
vicinity of 5000 indicating two and ma II
wears service General Gomez said the
total altogether exceeds the commissions
expectations, but the claims were re-
viewed so carefully that there is no
doubt as to their Justice
The decidedly popular idea entertained
by the solder element that they will be
paid in full does not find much credence
in administra ton circles The totai
amount Of the claims has caused some
surprise. and the matter is at present in
an indefinite shape, but 1t is not believed
that the government will consider It ad-
visable to go beyond paying the veterans
proportionately TO the full extent OF the
loan. According to present indications,
the amount OF the loan will not meet
more than so to go per cent OF the total

SAY THAT GOLD rs NOT SCARCE.
Report Of Subcommittee of Mexican
Monetary Conference.

Mexico City, August 3.-The third sub
committee of the monetary conference
has adopted report made by Rlcafd
Garcia Grandaos, which, after citing
figures regarding the worlds present
stock Of gold, says these figures demon
strate to the point Of evidence that gold
is at present nominally mot scarce" but
tends to predominant absolutely as the
sole standard and measure of values,
silver being relegated to secondary
and subsidiary role as token of coin
age The report continues:
Our commerce Is carried on at pres
emf almost exclusively with gold stand
ard countries, and If we wish to avoid
or mitigate a monetary and mercantile
crisis it Is imperative that we intro
duce monetary reform that will give
stability to our currency"
The adoption of this report by the
commission is taken to indicate that
gold standard Is likely to be recommend
ed In modified form by the entire Non-
etary commission, which met today in
full session.

GROWTH OF PRESBYTERIANIS
Figures Issued by Stated Clerk of
the Assembly.

Paterson, N. j., August 3.-The Rev. Dr.
w. H. Roberts, stated clerk Of the gen
eral assembly, has issued the figures of
the Presbyterian church Of 1903. The most
striking feature is the falling off In the
number of ordinations. The number was
24O in 1893 but there were only 1874 this
year or So fewer than the ordinations for
1902, when the number reached 236. The
total membership, however, shows steady
growth. 1t was 975,S77 in 1893 and at pres
ent is 1,067,477. In finance a steady growth
is shown. For home missions the amount
given last year was $1,293,S2l. the largest
in the history of the denomination. The
amount for foreign missions nearly equal
ed the record. and was 1906, 0S9. There was
given to colleges $4,000 and the Los An
geles general assembly cost $s4.4Oo.

Comment on Bank Statement.

New York, August S.-The New York
Financier says:
THE striking feature OF the Official
statement of the New York associated
banks last week was the increase OF
s., So, COO In loans. This was entirely con
frary to expectations. decrease beng
confidently looked for as the result OF
the luuidation in the stock market and
to consequent cancellation Of bank loans.
1t appears probable, however. that the
reason which was assigned in the BANK
statement analysis of the previous week
for the failure of the loan item to reflect
the stock liquidation was correct and
that the otherwise unaccounted for
changes in this item were due to reloan-
ing of money released by the cancelia-
ton of collateral loans, and also that
loaning by banks at cali has largely In
creased because Of the abStentiCn by
trust companies of such loans in conse-
Cuence of the prevailing low rates for
money The net cash reserve was de-
creased 81, S39, 300 This was larger by
81 296 700 than was estimated from the
traceable movements OF money during the
week The deposits were increased 81
Ala 500 This sum was greater by $751;
loans less the net decrease in cash, and
consequently the statement does not
balance. The required reserve was in
creased s6G3 100 through the augmented
loss of cash as above, makes a decrease
of $2,413 600 in surplus reserve to $2l, 5S7,-
075 Calculated upon the basis of de-
posts, less those of $37 294,g00 OF those Of
public funds. the surplus reserve is $50
$40 800 The greater increase of loans
than deposits caused the total of the
former to be in excess OF that of the
latter by $424 500. In the previous week
the deposits exceeded the loans by $685..

lngs last week was sos. 900 900, against
$206, GOO GOO IN the previous week. 1t Is
noteworthy that the clearings reported
on Saturday, representing Fridays trans
actions, were 100000 above the daily
average for the week. Comparisons of
changes In loans show that six of the
largest banks increased this item by ST..

Review of the New Orleans Market.

New Orleans. August S--The spot cot
ton market was easy. Sales 800 bales; de-
livered on contract 200. Quotations reduced
1-Sc.
Futures opened quiet and steady with
prices at about yesterdays closing level.
The undertone of the market was good,
but a desire on the part of traders and
scalpers to even up and close out at the
weeks end caused some selling, which
weilkhed priced down. Liverpool cables
today reported heav sales there after
hours yesterday. bringing the total sales
Of Friday up to $4,000 bales, which
Is phenomenal, considering the situation
and the season. 1t was claimed thar

CURZON'S TERM rs EXTENDED
But Ha Goes to England for Vacation
Next Year

Simla. India, August 4.-Viceroy Curzon
Informed the council at today's sitting
that he had decided to accept the gov
ernments offer of an extension of his
term of office with permission to take a
vacation in England in 1904, should he SO
desire.
Lord Curzon said he was fully aware
of the strain on his health and spirits
and the fact that only two viceroys in
the last fifty years had stayed in office
beyond five years. This, however, was
too short term for a government which
had embarked on wide schemes of reform
and 1t would be a neglect of duty to
abandon his share of the work.

The Dry Goods Market.

New York, August S.-The week in dry
goods ends with jobbers sanguine of the
future after having experienced very
satisfactory week. In certain quarters
the belief in higher prices for goods IS
growing. owing to the strengthening of
conditions caused by the curtaiment
of production at the mills. Business at
first hands continues restricted.
