WHAT Is DOING
THE WORLD OVER.
A WORD ABoUT THE LEADING
EVENTS OF THE WEEK.
Panic of Last Week Over.

The financial stress of last week, dur
ing which numerous trust companies of
New York and some in other parts of the
country suspended, seems to have spent
its force, and there is now in progress a
steady recovery, with no untoward signs.
The action of the treasury department in
coming to the aid of the embarrassed
banks with ready cash, loaned on ap-
proved securities, enabled most of them
to Withstand the runs made by deposi-
tors. These runs are now over. Some of
the closed banks will shortly resume and
probably all will eventually. During
the panic, the great Westinghouse con-
cern of Pittsburg went into receivership,
but the business will continue until its
finances are adjusted so that the owners
can take charge again. The Pittsburg
stock exchange was closed. The very
heavy exports of agricultural products to
Europe are helping the situation materi-
ally, giving US a trade balance at time
when it counts.

Long Air Voyage by Balloon.

The second international long-distance
balloon race, participated in by balloons
representing America, Germany, France
and England, ended in the victory of
German ship, the Pommern, with
French balloon a very close second.
Both landed on the New Jersey shore of
the Atlantic, only a few miles apart.
Eight balloons started from St. Louis,
Mo. American entries finished fourth,
fifth and eighth in the race, and the Eng
lishman last. The long-distance record
was broken by wide margin. Lincoln
Beachey of Toledo won the q, 900 prize
for airships, sailing mile and a half to
windward and return in less than five
minutes
