Conservative opinion is that President

President Castro has sent an extremely

appealed to the kaiser to intervene to save

RUSSIAN FINANCES.
Proposed Measure to Increase the
Bank Deposits.


ST. PETERSBURG, January 3o.-An i'm
portant financial measure dictated by the
drain on the savings banks In consequence
of the revolutionary agitation and the Inn
possibility of competing with the rates OF
private banks is announced. 1t increases
by imperial order the rate of interest OF the
government savings banks from SO to 4 per
cent.
The government hopes 1t will have ia
vorable effect on the redepositing which
has already recommended. According TO
the official statement the increased deposits
Russian January were S2,5Go.0oo. ten times
1905 AT Moscow. according to the Slovo,
ceipts stating explicitly that their deposits
are returnabIe in the same metal. The
banks refuse to do so. The rate of interest
was decreased from per cent to 3.S per
cent in 1894 on account of the favorable
position of the government and the low
rate of money at that time. An order has
also been signed by the emperor raising the
rate paid on deposits in perpetuity in the
Imperial Bank from 3E to AZ per cent.
The rates of exchange are soaring stead
lily. For drafts on America private banks
are charging high as 2O1 roubles per 800.
whereas during the preceding summer the
rate was 97.5Q roubles per 500. The Of
fetal rate of exchange on England now is
%. compared with the December rate of
94.75; but this rate is obtainable only at the
Imperial Bank. The unofficial rate on the
bourse is 9U375.

the interests of the Russian Jews. A mo-
ton to that effect went over until later

port on the conditions in Russia, from
which 1t was gathered that the Jews had
no hopes of an improvement in their status
resulting from a revolution or government
reforms. The only solution of the prob
lem, according to the report, would be the
foundation of a Jewish fatherland.
Emigration Inevitable.
M. kohan of kishineff said he thought

from Russia was inevitable He proposed
Egypt or Asia Minor as suitable for a jew
ish settlement and advised that all emil
