ELEPHANT CAUSE
 A GENERAL PANIC
FIVE BREAK LOOSE FROM CIRCUS AND START OUT ON A WILD RAMPAGE OVER SURROUNDING COUNTRY.

Peru, Ind, November 13.-(Special.)- Five elephants, belonging to Col. Benja- man D. Wallace's circus, created intense excitement in the rural districts surround Ing their winter quarters this afteSnon.
 The show arrived home this morning and was being put away for the winter Two elephants, used for moving wagons, pursued a negro about the quarters. and their trumpeting gained the attention of three other elephants in the barn. The five elephants, after the negro had found refuge in a brick building, tore down the road, frightening horses and chasing farmers up the trees
 The beasts crossed the Mississippi river, pursued by fifteen workmen The latter were deluged with water thrown from their trunks Then the elephants made their way into a settlement O. Miami In dians.
 The aboriginies, armed with tomahawks, prepared to defend their families, but the herd shied to the east into the town of Peoria where Jonathan Jones was hav- ing a public sale. Scores of frantic people rushed up the steep hill and escaped through the fields. while others hastened to the school houses. Finally the circus workmen arrived and the elephants, be- ing exhausted, were brought into subjec- tiOn.
 The herd went through wire fences as if they were made of thread and rail fences went down like so much paper.

NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
Mob After Wounded Man Takes Sur
 geon at His Word.

Macon, Ga, November 13-There have been no further developments today in the attack made at an early hour this morning on a hospital here in which Frank Christian, the slayer of Fred Tharpe, lies wounded. No further attempt has been made by friends of the dead man to secure the person of Christian since Dr. Elder, the resident surgeon, drew his revolver and informed the mob that he would kill the first man who crossed the threshold The members of the mob believed he meant what he said. for they took their departure from the premises, and have not yet reappeared.
 While no anticipation of any trouble Is held by the authorities, force of officers is still doing guard duty, and no effort to protect the wounded man will be left undone.
 Christian, who was cut in the stomach during the affray which ended in Tharpe's death, Is resting quietly tonight and the attending surgeons are still of the opin- ion that he will recover from the effects of his injuries.

BANK STATEMENT
 SHOWS DECREASES
SURPLUS RESERVE OF THE NEW FORK ASSOCIATED BANKS REACHES LOWEST POINT OF THE YEAR.

New York, November 12.-The Financier will say tomorrow:
 The most notable features of the official statement of the New York Associated Banks last week were the reduction in the surplus reserve to the lowest point of the year, a loss of cash largely in excess of the estimates, which were based upon the traceable movements of money dur ing the week. and a heavy reduction in deposits
 The decrease in cash shown by the statement was S6.2447OO. while the esti- mated reduction was $3,s11 800. The bank return included the averages of the ship ments of $4,00O,OO0 gold to Cuba; $2,0O0.OO0 on Saturday of the previous week, and a like sum on Thursday of last week; also the average for one day of S2, 000000, which were withdrawn from the banks on Friday for shipment to Cuba on Saturday. The estimates, however, took account only of the $4,000000; the deposits decreased $2O l0z 4OO which was S926.9OO less than the sum of the contraction in loans and of the loss of cash; therefore, the statement did not balance. The required reserve against general deposits was reduced $5,- 026S50, dedueting which from the loss of cash, left $1,217, $50 as the decrease in sur plus reserve to $S, S94, ,55O the lowest for the year.
 The surplus last week compares with $6, 13S, ,425 at the corresponding date last year. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of $23, 399, 300 public funds, the surplus last week was s14744,375 Loans were contracted for $147S9, 500, but as there was no evidence of extensive stock mar lSet liquidation last week, the reduction was most likely caused by such liquida- tion In the previous week

TWO PROBLEMS ARE FACING THE BUREAU Lack of Officers for Ordnance
 Duty Noted GUN FACTORY OVER- TAXED Great Rush of Work at the Naval Gun Factory, and the Plant is
 Running Night and
 Day.
GUN FACTORY OVER-T TAXED

Washington, November 13.-Lack of of ficers for ordnance duty and the over taking of the naval gun factory. continue to be the two most serious problems fac ing the bureau of ordnance, according to the annual report of Rear Admiral New ton E. Mason, chief of ordnance, just ap- proved by Secretary Morton. The report says a plan for reorganization of the work of the bureau will be submitted later with a view to increasing the sup ply of ordnance experts. Of the rush of work at the naval gun factory Admiral Mason says:
 'sThe naval gun factory has been run ming night and day at full capacity and although good progress is being made, the congested condition ofrall work there gives assurance that it's capacity IS pe- ing overtaxed, and must, unless this ca pecity is materially increased, eventually result in failure to supply the ordnance out fits of ships in time to meet the de- mands of contractors"
 Gun Factory Busy.
 A vast amount of work has also been done by the gun factory in alterations and repairs to ordnance material. Estl- mates at improvement of the gun factory and increase of the plant are renewed.
 Smokeless powder has received consid- erable attention by the bureau in the last year.
 The report says the normal output of private powder factories and of the gov ernment factories at Indian Head and Newport is not greater than is required to meet the demands of the service tar get practice. and fill the outfits of the newly commissioned ships.
 Armor Delverie Increased.
 Armor deliveries have increased and the manufacture of armor. the report says, has progressed in a satisfactory manner. There have recently been some delays to ship contractors caused by the non-delivery of armor, but the opinion is expressed that this was due not to be- lated armor delivery, but to unusually rapid ship construction. To obviate the recurrence of this, a reassignment of armor contracts has been made by the bureau. During the year 14,S4S.S0 tons of armor have been delivered.
 Projectiles have recently caused the bureau difficulty, some of them failing to meet the severe ballistic tests re- quired.
 Experiments recently have been made to develop a special design of telephone for use in communicating throughout the ship while in action.
