suggestions might be construed into an
unfavorable criticism upon our bank
ing system, permit me to say that as
whole the banking laws of Iowa COM
pare very favorably with those OF
other states, and the percent Of fail
Eures in her Incorporated banks IS
SLIGHTLY less than that of national
banks. and is less than one-tnird as
great as with private banks. The
number of state and savings banks
has increased very rapidly during the
last few years, and is still increasing
at the rate of more than fifty per year,
so that at the present time there are
$50 of these institutions. The present
increase comes largely from private
banks which are incorporating. The
deposits in the state and savings banks
have increased from s91,000,00O, in
round numbers, five years ago, to
$140,O00,00O at the present time, and
the assets from $114,000,000 to SILL
100000, or fifty percent in each In
stance, which arises not only from the
increase in the number of banks but
from the increased volume of business.
There has been one failure among
these banks during the present year,
and that will be attended with little
or no loss, but if it should prove to be
a total loss it would not represent the
one-twenty- fifth part of one perNcent
of the total deposits in state and saw
ings banks At the present there seem
to be no evil forebodings with refer
ence to banking in Iowa.
With the era of speculation past,
which seemed to possess the state two
or three years ago, carrying our mon
ey to Canada. Minnesota, the Da-
kotas and elsewhere, without assum-
ing the roll Of a prophet, I can say to
you that from the standpoint of one
whose duty and privilege it is to su-
pervise the banks Incorporated under
the laws of the state, can see nothing
in the immediate future to disturb the
financial conditions OF our common
wealth.

ST. Petersburg, June 7.-As the re-
I sult Of the meeting Of the council OF
ministers, held at Tsarskoe Selo yes
,terday, instructions were telesrapned
thi. afternoon to the Russian ambas-
..dors at Washington and Paris, to
The effect that Russia is desirous OF
learning Japan's peace conditions.
Washington, Jupe italian Am
bassador Des Planches har confer
4nce with the president this after
noon, by appointment. While no de-
tails concerning the conference is
made public, 1t is known the situation
in the far east was the principal topic
i OF consideration. That Italy has
thrown the weight of her, influence for
peace, there can be no doubt.
ST. Petersburg. June 7.-Anbassa-
dor Meyer had an interview with For
etsn Minister Lamsdorf last night
and today went to Tsarskoe Seio'
where he. viii be received in a special
audience by the Emperor.
Upon his return to st! Petersburg
this afternoon Meyer hastened to the
embassy, whence he sent long cl-
pher dispatch to Washington. Later
he was closeted with Sir Charles
,laardinge., British ambassador. The
present situation is extremely delicate
and the greatest reticence is observed.
The foreign Office sis deserted, this be-
ing the empress birthday and at4the
American embassy no statement could
.be procured this afternoon. Neverthe-
less there are some collateral indica-
tions that the emperor's response was
favorable.
The sudden retirement of French
Foreign Minister Delcasse. who was
regarded as not only one of the
strongest supporters of the dual al
lance but as one of the strongest
friends OF Russia, was a great blow to
Russia and rendered Roosevelts s
friendly tender particularly opportune.
esides, 1t is known the emperor has
been strongly advised df he decided
20 open peace negotiations to do so
&hrough Roosevelt.

Displays Resentment at Enforcement
Of Twenty-four Hour Rule.
ST. Petersburg, June THE Russian
press, notably Novoe Vremya and Russ,
the latter frequently rejecting the
views Of the foreign office, display
great deal Of resentment against the
United States for enforcing the twen-
ty,four hour rule in the case Of. the
three Russian cruisers at Manila. Russ
quotes American neutrality regulations
and contends Roosevelt, in applying
the principle that only injuries received
during a storm and not in battle can
be repaired in American ports, not
only narrows the American regulations
but infrirges recognized principles OF
International law. This paper declares
It has official warrant for the state
ment that representations have been
Novoe Vrsmya is exceedingly sarcastic.
After slap at Great Britain for the
alleged manner in which her vessels
dogged the Russian fleet from the time
1t left Cronstadt, and for trying to
force all powers to accept her inter-
pretation Of the rules of neutrality,
Novoe Vremya declares Roosevelt,
whom 1t refers to as "Mr. Roosevelt"
contaminated by Englands example,
arbitrarily iaterprets his own rules in
sense favorable to Japan, adding:
"Mr. Roosevelt takes full advantage
Of the fact that Russia is helpless and
powerless to do more than protest. The
Japanese minister is reported to have
slastened to express his gratitude to
America for this act of impartiality,
which is partial to Japan. We trust
Mr.. Roosevelt is satisfied with his sue

The admiralty, 1t can be stated, is
reconciled to the internment of the
three Russians cruisers at Manila, but
opposes on principle the rule that war
ships injured in battle cannot repair
their machinery and boilers at neutral
ports. Officials add that friction over
this minor question would be exceed
