London Jury Decides That
Captain de Keyser Was
Libeled i'm Burrows Book

LONDON, March 26.-While mission
aries were petitioning President Roose-
welt and Secretary Hay at Washington
yesterday to intervene on behalf Of the
natives Of the Congo Free State, Cap
tain Henri de Keyser. a former officer
of the Congo Free State. was sping Cap
tain Guy Burrows in an English court
for libel in connection with the alleged
atrocities. Captain Burrows on his re-
turn from the Congo, January 2. 1902.
published a book in which he charges
Captain de Keyser with committing nu-
merous atrocities on natives, shooting
them, cutting off their hands and 9TH
erwise mutilating them. The case has
been on trial for two days and resulted
in a verdict in favor of Captain de
Keyser, who was awarded $500 dam
ages.
In the course of his evidence Captain
de Keyser not only swore that he him
self was guiltless, but gave a denial OF
similar charges current against the
Congo Free State officials generally.
The defendant presented no evidence
in support of the charges
The other suits against Captain Bur
rows, brought by Captains ChaItin and
Duriecuick, both Congo officials, whom
Burrows charged with disemboweling
infants. etc, were settled in court, Bur-
rows agreeing to pay each of the plain
tiffs $3.50 damages.

INVENTS MOTOR BOAT
THAT CANNOT SINK
Frenchman Devises a Craft That Is
Wonderful in It's Adapta-
hilftV

PARIS. March 26.-The first motor
lifeboat ever built in France has just
been launched at Port La Rochelle and
Is now the subject of no end of discus
sion among sailors. The boat is pro-
PEELED by a welve-horse-power engine,
in which petroleum is used for fuel, and
in an ordinary sea is credited with a
speed of twenty-five miles an hour.
The lines Of the boat are like those of
a racer and it is equipped with air-tight
compartments that the builders say
will keep it afioat in the heaviest seas.
Part of the boats equipment consists
of a lot of new life belts. These have
just been invented and the initial ex-
periments have proved them to be vast
ly superior to the oldtime life belts.
made of sections of cork sewed in can
vas bags The new belt consists of a
broad sash in which there are four air
tight pockets. 1t has been tested sew
eral times in the last month and in
every case has given the best results.
Men wearing the belts jumped into
the water head first, but invariably
came TO the surface head at the top
and remained thus without the least
movement of the body. Experts say
the bueyancy of the new belt is suffl-
clent to keep any one above water for
many days.

Gertrude Stebbing.
There is no fact of medical science
better established than that a teaspoon
full of Peruna before each meal during

thousands of lives would be saved. and
tens OF thousands of cases of chronic ca

After cold has been contracted a tea
spoonful of Peruna every hour will
shortly cure IL, leaving no trace of il be-

established. or the first stages of chronic
bronchitis or consumption have been
reached, it will take much longer to ef-

1t seems strange that as well known

who pay little or no attention to them

BANK SHOWING

New High Records for De-
pOsits and for Loans Are
Established During Week

NEW YORK. March 2s.-The FL
nancier says: The striking features
OF the official statement of the New
York Associated Banks this week
were new high records for deposits
and for loans. the latter passing the
billion-doilar mark. The Government
deposits were the highest OF the year.
The cash gain OF the banks was 33,-
072.000, or s796.500 above the In
crease as estimated from the trace
able movements of money during the
week. The deposits were augmented
$11,654, 500. a new high record, which
amount is only sS62, 100 less than the
sum for gain in cash and the increase
in loans; therefore, the statement
showed a good balance. 1t is note
worthy that, compared with the pre-
vious week, the public deposits In
creased by $5,459, 400, rejecting the
concentration of these deposits in the
specially designated banks; the in
crease in this item since February
has been $9,054, 500, indicating the
extent of the augmentation of the de-
posits in anticipation of Withdrawals
for the Panama canal payment. The
required reserve of 25 per cent cash
against all deposits was increased
through the gain in this item by s2,-
S13,TO0, deductlng winch from the in
crease In cash leaves $15S,300. the
gain in surplus reserve to $27,46S, ,S75.
Computed on the basis of the de-
posits less those of S45. .94S,l00 public
funds, the surplus is $SS,955. 900. The
loans were expanded by SS,944, 900,
carrying the total OF this item $7,s63,-
700 above the billion-dollar mark.
This increase in loans most likely re-
f1ected the present sum at call of pub
lie deposits, which had been concen-
trated in the banks during the week.

CLAIMS DEMOCRACY IS
WANING IN AMERICA
French Writer Says This Country Is
Inoculated With "Virus OF
NanoIeOnfSYl1

PARIS, March 26.-The Rappel, a
French Radical organ, has taken note
OF a recent announcement in a New
York newspaper that some American
city is making plans for the erecting
Of a statue of Napoleon. A long edi-
torial is devoted TO what is termed the
evident decadence of the true spirit Of
democracy on the other side OF the At
lant.
The burden of the editorial is that
America has been inoculated with the
virus Of "Napoleonism." The writer
goes on to say that it is quite apparent
that Americans have not had their fill
of monarchs and that some of them are
aching for a chance to set up a throne
and crown a King.
This spirit Of aristocracy is attributed
to the intoxication Of conquest and an
Unsuitable thirst for other worlds to
conquer. The writer then registers a
solemn warning to all Americans to
turn back before 1t is too late to remedy
the evil.
The editorial declares that a statue
to Napoleon in the public park of any
town in America would be an insult to
every IepuDltC III tle WOI1u anu OulOuS
to every believer in national liberty as
opposed to despotism. The writer
warns the people of the United States
against the poison OF Napoleonism
France is still suffering from the
victories, defeats and national ruin
wrought by Napoleon" he continues.
Americans can only be counseled to
regard as enemies of their country all
those who aim to glorify arms and con-
quests. Tt can only mean ultimate
bloodshed and national decadence.
The erection Of statue in memory
Of the tyrant Napoleon means nothing
less than the triumph of the enemies of
liberty"

NEW YORK, March 26.-The largest
sum ever paid an insurance company by

over s663.000. Under the terms of his
contract Mr.. Smith receives an annual

and daughter and his six grandchildren.
in addition to large cash payments, will
also receive annual incomes for life. Mr..
Smith asked his trust company how he
could best make these provisions for
himself and for his entire family. and
was advised that the Mutual Life Con-
tract offered him the best way for carry

in the following letter to the fact that
the fluctuations in the value of other Sc

the stable character Of his investment In

The deposits I made during four years

OFFICIALS MAKE DENIALs.

The transactions on Tuesday of
more than 100000 shares of Union Pa
cific at an advance of more than s
points was an incident which finds
few parallels in the history of the
Stock Exchange. The favorite hypo-.
thesis by Wall street was that North

ests We're securing a sufficient holding
In Union Pacific 10 secure an advan-
tage prOportionate to Union Pacific
influence in these two companies and
was doing this with the assent of the
controlling interests in Union Pacific
with a view TO interchange of director
ships in the various companies and
establishment thus of a community of
interst which would effect the same
results in another way than the Sc
curities holding company. The large
supply of Union Pacific stocks brought
out from sources associated with the
company during the activity of tie
week was accepted by the bull party
as corro oboration of this view. On the
other hand official denials were made
OF any such plan or of any buying of
Union Pacific by Northern Pacific and
Great Northern interests. The tenn
porary activity in the market was
largely congested in stocks which were
supposed to be available for the COM
munity of interests under the new
