BALTIMORE, Feb. 12.-Baltimore is

Of last Sunday and Monday. An Incl
dent that inspired the whole commu-

the resumption of business by the
banks, deposits being received and
checks honored in the usuM way. 1t
would be difficult to estimate the vol
ume of transactions in this respect
but, according to the leading bankers
1t was gratifyingly large in view Of
existing conditions.
All through the financial district
preparations are being made to open
safes and vaults. Those of the Ger

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - Senator
Hanna's condition is very serious il
not precarlous. His physicians real
lie this and are watching the case with
the greatest concern, The senator is
considerably weaker and as result
bis pulse had run up at o'clock to 104
pulsations to the minute. The increas-
ed weakness is the direct result of the
fever, as the official bulletin shows
there are no complications. The ply.
sicians hope that the fever has reached
it's worst stage, but whether or not it
has they declare they are unable to
say. They are simply waiting for de-
velopments and realize the patient has
lost ground the last two days. Stimu-
lants have been given the senator dur
ing the day and with beneficial results.
He rests well and has retained the
nourishment given him during the past
twenty-four hours This latter feature
of the case is encouraging to the ply
sicians.
The following bulletin on Senator
Hannas condition has been issued:
