There was an unusual amount of
passenger traffic between Browns
vile and Matamoros last night,
owing to the attraction at the Ma
tamoros theater. Since the new
anti-gambling law went into effect
in Tamaulipas, there has been a
very noticeable decline in the
number of passengers returning to
Brownsville from Matamoros be-
tween midnight and daylight.
Most nights of late there have
been not over eight passengers in
one night during the hours named,
bat last night there were over
fifty.

APPROVED BY ROOSEVELT.
President Informed of the Financial
FURRY in Wall Street.

Washington, Oct. 2.-President Roose-
welt was today thoroughly Informed re-
garding the financial stress in Wall street
and Pittsburg, and is understood to regard
the crisis as over and also to approve of
the measures of relief which Secretary
Cortelyou afforded both cities.
Both Senator Knox and Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Edwards received d.
rect information from Puttsburg by tele-
phone today which was of most reassur-
ing character. Secretary Garfield report
ed to the president today that western
bankers have gradually been divorcing
themselves from Wall street influences
until they are now practically indepen-
dent OF them.
1t was pointed out that had the New York
furry occurred four years ago, it's influ-
ence would have been widespread. That
il can be confined almost entirely to its
source is a matter of profound satisfac-
ton to the administration.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota cor
roborated this view of the finances of the
west and added that Uhe crop moving de-
mand for money was now practically end
ed, without calling for a dollar from the
east. The system of making Il ans on ele-
vator receipts, he said, supplied a de-
mand which heretofore had to be met
by calling on New York and paying high
Iates of interest.
The president when asked if he would
make any statement on the subject, in
dictated that comment from him was un-
necessary.

Been Sold So Far.

Paris, Oct. N.-The 'house-cleaning in
Wall street is having sentimental rath-
er than a practical effect here. The pa
pers are devotins much space TO 'the
Wall street crash" and the slaughter
of American millionaires." and operators
on the bourse are closely watching the
situation. They consider that American
financial conditions are sound at the
base. and regard the New York crisis
as being the inevitable elimination of an
era of intense commercial activities and
over speculation. helped along by the rev.
Citations of improper methods of finance
and the position assumed by the authori-

bankers think President Roosevelt has

help seeing something of the conditions
which exist over a considerable portion of

rhe situation is of course rendered
much worse by the disposition extant in
the western states to single out the rail-
roads for persecution. 1t means long
drawn out litigation with uncertain re-
suits. 1t means antagonism where there
ought to be cooperation 1t means no
new roads and no improvements on exist

times more important to the people of
Kansas than any reduction in freight or
passenger rates"

Washington. Oct A.-It was learned
here that President Roosevelt has no IDEA
of leaving Admiral Evans fleet In the
Pacific. but intends to order its return
within ninety days of its arrival on the

One important conclusion is to be drawn
from this new established fact that the
fleet is to return as soon as the great
ships can be cleaned up. repleniSh their
supplies of coal and provisions and other

is that the executive feels absolutely no
apprehension respecting the possibilities
of war with Japan, and the short stop al

Mr. Schiller said also that the operations
