The general pension appropriation
bill, carrying an appropriation of over

carries SO, 600, 600, were passed yester-
day by the Senate, leaving only the
general deficiency and the military

ply measures still to be considered by
the Senate. The House bill increasing
the size of homestead entries in west

favorable consideration While the
river and harbOr measure was under
consideration, Mr.. German sharply
criticised the failure to bring in a gen
eral river and harbor bill. Speeches

claring that he favored a service pension

Wilhelm executive session the question
Of adjournment came up on an inquiry
as to whether a vote was to be permitted

not be had on it at this session.
The House gave evidence of approach

Der of bills, among them being one to

THE ACTION of the City Council last
night in rearranging the boundaries OF
the fonr wards of the city seems to have
met with the appreciation of the greater
position of the community. 1t was the
most practical aud economical manner
in which the matter could have been
adjusted, and it was enacted with but
little discussion and in business-like
way. Some people had become i'm
pressed with the idea that the creation
of new ward was the only avenue out
of the trouble. This never appealed
to many as a practical solution of the
difficulty. 1t would have been ex-
pensive and might have increased the
number of Councilmen, Aldermen,
Magistrates, Constables, Police Commits
sioners, members of the Board of Health,
&c. Council will still be composed of
twenty-four members-eight Aldermen
and sixteen Common Councilman. To
augment their number would produce
no real benefit to the city.

MAR In THE FAR EAST.

St. Petersburg, April 22.-yiceroy
Alexief has sent to the Gar a full re-
port of the loss Of the battleship Petro-
payloysk and the Russian destroyer
strashni on April IL. The report is
published here today 1t is largely an
ampliication of.the account of what is
already known to the world. A mistake
by the officers of the Strashni, who mis-
took japanese destroyers for Russian
warships, led to the greater disaster-the
loss of the Petropayloysk. The Russian
cruiser Diana, when it was seen that
the Strashni was at the mercy Of the
enemy, went to the destroYer's relief,
but was too late. The vessel sank, s-Out
the Diana picked up five survivors of
the crew. The japanese destroyers
withdrew on the arrival of the Diana,
but half dozen japanese cruisers ap-
peared in their places and attacked the
Diana. 1t was then that Admiral Maka-
rolf started to the rescue of the DiaLa,
Alexieff reports. After a short fusil-
lade at distance of 10000 yards a
squadron of japanese battleships appear
ed and the Russian ships retired. "At
9:43 a. m.," the report continues, San
explosion occurred at the right side Of
the Petropaloysk, then second explosion
under her bridge. A column of smoke
was seen to rise from the battleship, her
mast, funnel, bridge, and turret were
thrown up, and the battleship heeled
over on her starboard side. The ship was
surrounded by flames, and in two
minutes sunk, bow first. Alexieff tells
of the rescue of seven officers, including
Grand Duke Cyril, and seventy-three
seamen, all that survived from the i'll
fated battleship. 1t was while near
ing the harbor that the battleship
Pobieda nearly met like fate, a mine
exploding under the starboard side Of
the ship. She listened, but entered the
harbor. AIexieff makes no mention Of
the damage sustained by the Pobieda.
An indication that the japanese laid the
fatal mines is given by Alexief. He
says that the night preceding the sortie,
lights and ships were seen in the distance.
Admirrl Makaroff in person, he says,
watched this movement from the Diana
until dawn. The Viceroy says the mo-
rale of the crews remains, despite the i'll
success which has attended the Pacific
fleet

Virginia Banks.

The comptroller of the currency has re-
ceived reports from the seventy-four ma
tional banks of Virginia of the condition
Of business March %, the date of the last
call made by the comptroller.
On April 8, 1903, there were sixty
one banks in the State, indicating an in
crease of thirteen banks in the last year.
The combined capital stock Of the sixty
one banks was So, 597, 500; while the
seventy-four banks at this time have a
paid-in capital of 81, 269, $50, an increase
Of something like 500, 900.
This healthy increase has been accom-
plished without the failure of a single
bank. In fact, it has been many years
since Virginia national bank has closed
its doors, while in other parts of the
country, in the astyear, there have been
numerous failures. The wise and con-
sentative management of Virginia finan-
cial institutions has always been COM
mented upon by the balance of the coun-
try.
The people of Virginia are evidently
increasing in prosperity with the banks,
as the individual deposits at this time
amount to $34, $40, 899, against $780,
1856, 395, an increase Of over s., 600, 900
put away for use in times Of need.
The banks have increased their loans
and discounts in about the same proper
ton, their total loans and discounts for
this report being sSS, $50, 9OS, against
S33, 1873, 677 one year ago.
The amount of United States money
deposited with the banks and secured
by government and other bonds is 49,
100, S91, against SO, 4lS, 9S4 this time
last year. This decrease is accounted
for by the recent call of Secretary Shaw
on national bank depositaries for 20 per
cent. of the government deposits with
them to be used in making the first pay
ments on the Panama canal.
The seventy-four banks have about
S5,033, $40 circulation outstanding Sc
cured by government bonds, an increase
of about S1l0,0 900 over one year ago.
The surplus funds OF the banks is SO, ST.
449, against SO, 229, $50 at this time last
year, comfortable and satisfactory in
crease, however.

night tabulating the vote and the an
nouncement of the successful candidates
was made this morning.
Upon the completion of the count the
announcement of the vote for vice presi
dents showed that nine candidates had
been elected while Mrs. J. v. QuarIes,
wife of Senator Quarles, of Wisconsin,
and Mrs. w. 5. Little of New York,
were tied for the tenth position with 235
votes each. The successful candidates
we're: Mrs. G w. Simpson, Brookline,
Mass; Miss G. j.. Bowman, Bristol,
Conn; Miss Lucretia H. Clay, Lexing-
ton. KY; Mrs. II. E. Burnham, Man
chester, N. H.; Mrs. E. G. Williams,

Bedle, Jersey City, N. j.; Mrs. J. N,
Carey, Indianapolis, Ind; Mrs. A. E.
Henneberger, Harrisonburg, Va, anc
Mrs. r. E. Parks, Atlanta, Ga.
The nearest approach to a real dis.
turbance occurred over breaking the
Quarles-Little tie. Mrs. Fairbanks, pre-
siding, lodged the issue for the national
board, which is supposed to adjudicate
tie votes, by referring the election for
tenth vice-president-general back to the
floor of the congress. There followed 8
roar like a stampede in a populist con-
vention, many holding that the delegates
unelected who had received majority
in last nights election, outside the nine
elected, should be eligible in addition to
Mrs. Quarles and Mrs. Little. This
admitted Miss Virginia Miller, of Wash.
ington, d. c., who got 234 votes on the
first ballot. Mrs. Fairbanks supported
this proposition and the shouting sub
sided. Polite billingsgate was renewed
just before the voting commenced.
Mrs. Eagan announced that she was
not in the race and would not allow her
name to be used.
The Congress then voted by States on
three candidates in the field, Mrs.
Quarles, Mrs. Little and Miss Miller.

ported to have been prepetrated by a
Persian Moslem, the motive being relig-
ious fanaticisn. "The American min
lister at Teheran," adds the Zeitung,
has demanded the arrest and punish
ment of the murderer, but the Persian
authorities refuse to take any steps in the
matter, having learned that the accused
is privileged Sejidji, or descendant of
the Prophet. The missionary's Syrian
servant was also murdered"

The Hungarian Railway strikel

Budapesth, Hungary, April 22.-Re-
plying to a question in the lower house,
today, Count Tisca said there was little
prospect of the conciliatory attitude OF
the government toward the railway
strikers being reciprocated by the men.
The government is therefore taking
measures to assure the resumption OF
the railway service, without them.
Vienna, April ga railway and a
telegraph regiment are already on their
way to Budapesth. The Hungarian
Minister of National Defense has asked
leave to call out 5000 reserves for like
regiment. 1t is evident that hegOyern-
ment contemplates calling out all rail
way men liable to military service, and
thus render the strikers amenable to
martial law. The Kossuthist Journal
Pezank today declares that it has good
authority for stating that American
railway men have offered to aid the
striking railway men of Hungary,
should a general strike be declared.
The promise consists of an offer of Il
credit of 5000, 900.

TIE DEMOCRATIC leader in the House
has scored a point or two on the republl-
cans by securing from the judiciary COM
mittee. in the absence of some of the re-
publican members, favorable reports on
some resolutions, the answers to which
by the Attorney General would PIT on
record the fact that he is not worrying
the trusts, and hasn't any intention OF
doing so. Regarding this point won by
the democrats the Philadelphia Record
saws: 'The emptiness of the republican
pretense of fighting the trusts is only
equaled by the futility of the decision in
the Northern Securities case, on which
the republicans have been banking so
heavily. Quotations of stocks before
and after that decision, and the articles
in the Commercial and Financial Chronl-
Gle showing that the decision would have
no effect whatever upon the community
of interest plan of railroad management
would make excellent campaign lltera-
ture for the democrats to circulate.
