WILL CALL FOR FUNDS
To Pay the Considerations Named In
the Panama Treaty.


Washington, Feb. at is the gen.
eral expectation in administration cir
cles that the Panama treaty will be
ratified about the middle of the pres
ent month, and in anticipation of that
event Secretary Shaw soon will take
steps looking to a recall of a portion
of the public funds now in the hands
of national bank depositaries.
Just what percentage of these pub
lie deposits will be called for has not
yet been definitely determined, but
there is reason to believe that it will
approximate 20 per cent, or $4,000, 000
The exact time when the call will be
made, of course. Is not yet settled,
in view Of the uncertainty as to the
date of the ratification of the treaty.
but notice to the banks in all prob
ability will be sent out as soon as
possible after that date.
Secretary Shaw declined to discuss
the details of his plan of payment.
beyond saying that the matter has
been practically arranged in a man
ner which will insure the money mar
ket against disturbance. In fact, II
is believed that the total payments
growing out of the canal purchase will
be made without sending abroad any
actual cash whatever

EDWARD ADDRESSES
BRITISH PARLIAMENT,
Hopes Cotton May BE Successfully
Grow in His Empire.


London, Feb. liking Edward open
ed Parliament to-day with all the cere-
monial that has been in vogue since
his accession to the throne. None of
the familiar outdoor features was
lacking. The weather conditions, how
ever, were too depressing to permit of
much enthusiasm.
Touching on the Alaska decision, the
Kings speech said that on some points
the verdict was favorable to the Brit
ish claims and on others it had been
averse. Much as this last circum-
stance was to be deDlored, It must
nevertheless be a matter for congrat-
ulation that the MISUNDERSTANDING in
which ancient boundary treaties, made
in ignorance of geographical facts are
so fertile, have in this case been fin
ally removed from the field of contro-
versy.
The crisis in the Far East is touch
ed upon briefly in the Kings speech
as follows:
Il have watched with concern the
course of the negotiations between the
governments of Japan and Russia in
regard to their respective interests in
China and Corea and a disturbance
of the peace in those regions could
not but have deplorable consequences
Any assistance which my government
can usefully render towards the pro-
motion of a pacific solution will be
gladly afforded"
Another point of interest TO the
United States was a reference to cot
ton, as follows:
THE insufficiency of the supply Of
raw material upon which the great
cotton industry of this country de-
ponds has inspired me with deep con-
Germ. | trust the efforts being made
in various parts of my empire to in
crease the area of cultivation may be
attended with large measure of sue
cess"
After mentioning the political mis-
sion which with the concurrence of the
Chinese government, has entered Thi-
betan territory in order to secure due
observance of conventions the speech
concludes with the wa ming that al
though the estimates have been franz
ed with the utmost desire for economy
the burden imposed by the necessities
of naval and military defense is "un-
doubtedly serious"
No suggestion of legislation con-
corning Ireland was contained in the
Kings speech.

SON OF CHAMBERLAIN
DEFENDS HIS FATHER.
Extraordinary Situation Presented
in the House of Commons.

in the House of Commons.
London, Feb. 2.-"My Right Honor
able friend. the member from West
Birmingham, as Austen Chamberlain
described his father was the central
figure in the drama that marked the
opening of Parliament to-day.
No playwright could have devised a
more curious situation. For the first
time in years. Joseph Chamberlain
took his seat as a private member of
the House of Commons, and was sep
arated from his former colleagues in
the cabinet by the gangway. From
this seat he saw his son act as leader
of the House of Commons a position,
which Joseph Chamberlain, with all his
years of parliamentary experience,
never attained.
Premier Balfour was laid up with in
fluenza and therefore was unable to
be present. When Austin Chamberlain
arose to reply in behalf of the party
of which his own father is believed to
be the most powerful member, the
House was spellbound Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman, the Liberal
leader, had just concluded a merci-
less satire on Austen Chamberlain's
father.
Joseph Chamberlain, who had sat
unmoved under the ridicule of the Lib
eral leader, turned nervously toward
his son, who now takes precedence over
him. With his monocle in his eye, an
orchid in his buttonhole, and his hands
clasped across his knees, he listened
to his own defense from the lips of
| his son.
Austen Chamberlain spoke haltingly
and under evident strain; yet, when
he referred to his father, it was al
ways as 1.-The member from West Birm-
| ingham."
Now and again jeers greeted the
youngest member of the cabinet,
whereupon, with unmistakable anger,
| his father turned his glance in the di-
rection of the offender, and occasion
ally Joseph Chamberlain cheered his
son on with an emphatic Hear, heart"
AS Austen Chamberlain neared the
conclusion of the defense of the atti-
| tude of Premier Balfour and his father
towards the fiscal question, the inter-
ruptions grew more frequent and the
Chancellor of the EXchequer clutched
the brass bound, treasury box on which
Gladstone was so fond of leaning and
addressed his remarks almost solely In
the direction of his father.
The House frankly expressed its re-
Is1e I.a
generally termed the proceeding as one
of the most extraordinary personal stu
ations that ever had occurred and the
speech as one of the weakest defenses
of the governments policy ever made.
On behalf of Premier Balfour, Auster
Chamberlain declared the House OF
| Commons must first decide whether oil
not it desired any change at all in the
fiscal system, and until that point was
settled, the opposition demand for de-
tails of the governments fiscal reform
plan could not be granted.

COLOMBlANS REPORTED
IN PANAMA TERRITORY.

Panama, Feb. "A report has
reached the isthmus that Colombian
troops are fighting with the Indians on
the San Bias coast, which is in Pana-

ton of this.
The United States gunboat Ban
croft was to have sailed to-day from
Colon to Bocas Del Toro, but these

moment because of the report of
fighting on the coast.

MENTAL SCIENCE
is AN EASY GAME
PROSECUTION OF MRS. POST.
GOVERNMENT SHOWS HOW PA
TRONS WERE WORKED.

Evidence Was Presented to show
That Mrs. Posts Interest in Her
Correspondence Ceased When She
Had Relieved Letters of the Money
EncIOsed-She Then Passed Them
ON TO Clerks 10 BE Answered in
StereOtyped Forms.
Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 2.-The gov
eminent scored several points to-day
in the case against Mrs Helen Will
mans Post, charged with devising
scheme to defraud and using the mails
for fraudulent purposes.
Evidence was adduced to show that
the mental science healer paid little, If
any, attention to the letters received
by her from patients desiring treat
ment; that she would extract the
money from the envelopes and pass
the letters on to her force of clerks,
to be answered according to intruc-
tons originally given, and that when
Mrs. Post was not at home, her pri-
vate secretary opened the letters and,
taking out the money, passed them on
The first witness to-day was Edward
f. Britton of Goldsboro N. c., who
was employed by the defendant to
print all of her circulars, pamphlets
| and papers containing advertisements
of the mental science treatment. He
identified a large number of such pa
pers as having been printed by him
for the defendant, and said that he de-
posted the papers in the postoffice for
transit through the mails.
Several of the pamphlets on mental
science treatment were read to the
| jury.
Mrs. E. II. Dayton of Seabreeze,
Fla. private secretary of Mrs. Post
for four years. testified as to the man
ner in which letters were answered
when received from patients. She
| testified that one letter containing
money, but not addressed to Mrs Post,
was received in the mail one day and
| opened by Mrs. Post, the money ex-
| tracted, the envelope indorsed ten
| dollars per month" and passed on to
| the clerk for answer. When the de-
| PENDANTS attention was called to this
letter she had to admit that she had
not read 1t and did not know that it
was not for her. This was introduced
to show that the defendant did not
read the letters and did not even
know who were her patients. There
was a stereotyped form of answer for
| ever letter at every stage of the case
| under treatment.
The trial will probably last all the
| week.

JUST AS A DELEGATE
Will Porto RicO's Commissioners to
Congress He Regarded.


Washington, Feb. BY unanimous
ly agreeing to a resolution amending
the rules of the House to-day, Lhe
resident commissioner to Congress from
Porto Rico was given additional au-
thority equal in all essential respects
to that of a delegate from a territory,
the action not requiring the concur
renee of the Senate.
A bill which provided for "a delegate
from Porto Rico passed the House
during the last Congress, but was
amended By the Senate to such an
extent that IL failed. A bill duplicat-
ing the action of the House at the
last session is now before that body
but pending its passage by both
houses. Porto Rico will receive under
the action taken to-day practically all
of the benefits extended in the meas
ure.
A lively parliamentary debate pre-
ceded the adoption OF the resolution,
which was reported from the Commit
tee on Rules as a privileged" matter
The minority members of the commit
fee wished to set date in the reso-
h,tion for the consideration of the
hin In question. and to extend in the
meantime all the privileges of dele
gate to Mr.. Degetau, the resident COM
missioner. Failing in this, the minor
itv members, after criticising the ma
iority and also the Senate for its ac-
fion Of last session, supported the reso-
luton.
Several hours were spent by the
House in considering private claims
which resulted in the passage OF five
hills and the beginning of consideration

slightly damaged NJ. B. Arnstein &
Co. on the south.
The firemen. had three lines of hose
on the Ross building, which is four
stories high, when the high walls OF

CALAMITY HOWLERS
HAD THEIR OWN DAY.
Their Predictions of e Break Were
Made Good at New Orleans.


Made Good at New Orleans.
New Orleans, Feb. 2.-The repeated
warnings and prophecies of conserva-
tive traders came true to-day, and the
cotton market showed a series of sharp
breaks the last and most severe of
which lowered prices almost 100
points, or a cent under the closing
prices of yesterday, July showing a
net loss of 81 points, at one time 171Oc.
while at the close March was 70 points
lower than the close of yesterday at
1880, May II points lower at 17.12c
and July 81 points lower at 17.4Oc.
Unlike the two other memorable
breaks of this season, the slump was
unattended with much excitement. A
moderate volume of trade had been
shown all day with the largest amount
of business coming from room traders
and outside scaIpers. All of sudden,
the entire ring was flooded with SELL
ing orders and prices commenced a.
mad chase downward. They dropped
and 10 points at a time under the
pressure. What weak longs there were
in the market quickly let go and added
to the volume Of selling orders. Some
few stop loss orders were reported and
thrown upon the market
But almost as quickly as ii was APP
