IRELAND IS PROSPECTING.

keep in touch with the mother country.
Others viii be surprised to learn that
the people OF the Emerald Isle are now
enjoying a greater degree Of prosperity
than has come to them for a long period
in the history Of that oppressed people.
The fact is strikingly Illustrated by com
pairing banking statistics Of six years
ago with data relating to the banks for
the year just closed
IN 1900 deposits in the joint stock banks
or Ireland amounted approximately 10
G4S,o0O000- on June 30, 1906. there was on
deposit IA the banks Of ireland nearly
&04,UO,O0O, an increase Of 96,000,000. OF an
average increase of &1,000. 900 annually.
During the same period loans have in
creased from &36500,00O to E42. 100000 or
IN the sum OF e6,200,00O. and aggregate
resources have gained E67O0.G0. being
now 4'Z,AO000, against G6G, 10000 in 1900.
There are eight joint stock banks in
Ireland besides the Bank Of Ireland all
with 621 branches throughout the coun-
try. StXty-eight new branches have been
established since June, 1890.
While the joint stock banks Of Ireland
have gained in resources within the past
SIX years, those Of Scotland appear TO
have been less prosperous.
The banks of Scotland show M gains

lost a sum apprOXimating e260O.OGO from

CONFER ON TREASURY THEFT
Chief Wilkie Reports to Secretary
Cortelyou at the Department.
Plans for Pursuing Investigation of
the Robbery at Chicago Meet
With Approval.

George 3. Cortelyou. Secretary Of the
Treasury, and John Z. Wilkie. Chief of
the Secret Service. held a conference yes
terday with reference to the missing
$4,000 from the subtreasuTy al Chicago.
Chief Willde, who returned from Chi
cage Saturday evening, went into detail
with the Secretary, explaining to him all
Of the circumstances which have so puz-
zled the detectives for the last several
weeks.
Chief Wilkie said last night that there
were no late developments In the case.
In other words. he meant that there was
nothing for publication. From the very
beginning Of the mystery the officials
have been Of the opinion that secrecy
was the best policy to follow. and ac-
cCrdingly these plans have received hrst
consideration.
Secretary Cortelyou was we'll satisfied
with the report of Chief Wnkie and the
work that has been accomplished during
his ten days stay in the city where the
robbery Was committed The present
plans being followed 70 apprehend the
thief or thieves were approved by MI.
Cortely0u, and the task Will continue as
outlined by Chief WiIkie.
The conference yesterday was held at
the Treasury. In the offices Of the Score
tary. At the same time clerks were busy
at the chiefs quarters sending out let
tiers. circulars, and other communications
with reference 10 the ROBBERY. Until the
mon ay IS recovered and the thieves locked
up. there will be no rest for the Secret
Service men. chief and all alike, Sunday
and every day and night in the week.
Chief Wilke said that the story that
one Of the $1,000 bills had turned up in
London still remained unfounded. In fact,
il was not true. as an investigation by
the authorities proved. Although IL was
suggested, the head Of the service gave
no iutimatiou that the numbers OF the
bills OF the larger denomination would be
made public, 4 list Of the missing bills
has been compiled and sent TO all bank
ing institutions in the country and abroad
as Well This is one OF the traps set for
the robbers. The detectives, however, are
working along many other lines, and in
spite or the mystery surrounding the af-
fair have hope Of success.
Chief WIkie will remain in Washington
indefinitely. Unless unforeseen develop
ments in the case arise in Chicago, or
elsewhere. he viii continue 10 direct the
movements Of his men from his office
here.
If there are any developments in the
robbery to-day. another conference will
be held by Secretary Cortelyou and Chief
Wilkie.

Further International Complications
Expected IL the Harry r. Inge,
from New Orleans 90 Puerto Cor

the south American BeIIigerents.

Mobile Ala, March 10-There is a
strong likelihood of further international
complications as the result Of Nicaragua S
treatment of United States Minister Mer-
~, II It has not already taken place The
Norwegian steamship Harry T. Inge left
New Orleans last Thursday bound for
Puerto CorteZ carrying a large amount Of
arms and ammunition for Honduras.
There was no secret about the shipment
and the consuls here kept their govern
ments we'll posted on these matters.
A vessel which came up from Blue
fields yesterday reports having sighted
the Nicaraguan gunboat Omatipe Gor-
merly the fruit steamer Esther lying in
the path Of vessels of Cape Cracias, and
evidently waiting for the Inge. TO search
her and take on the arms consigned TO
Honduras. The Honduran gunbOat
Tatumbla was last reported at Puerto
Cortez. but IL Is believed that she has
been sent TO protect the Inge from inter
ference. If the two little war vessels
meet, there is a likelihood Of a naval en-
.gagement.

Gen. sandOvaI at Front.
New York, March l0.-By far the most
interesting news from a local point of
view that has come from Nicaragua or
Honduras since those republics began
their war was the announcement made
to-day that Gen. Francisco Ruize San
dovsl is hghung under the Honduran
standard.
The old generals friends in New York
have had no word from him since his
expulsion from Panama, where he was
arrested last August soon after his ar
rival from this city with seventeen other
generals. charged with c0nspiring against
the young but sophisticated republic.
Gen. Sandoval is a Mexican by birth
and a soldier Of fortune by profession,

defender tomorrow. He Is about sixty
years Of age and a fearless warrior.

NEED NOT FEAR ENGLAND.
Attempts of British to Control Cot
ton Market Futile.

Editor The Washington Herald
The article In your valuable columns
on Wednesday under the caption Of Cot
ton and Coffee which depicts a great
menace 10 King Cotton in the South.
in my opinion sounds "a needless alarm.
England would unqucsJiouably like 20
get our cotton for cents d pound
She has gotten one-haf of the earth 5
surface on the scents principle, and
would like 20 have the other half as
cheap or cheaper. but this menace Is
about thirty years old. That IS. thirty
years ago England anuouced TO the new
world that she would not only produce
grain enough in India 20 supply the home
deficiency. but that she would in a few
years produce in that colony cotton
enough to do her and supply the world
with that which IL needed besides There
could be no doubt about this. The sta
pie was superior 10 that Of the South, the
labor producing il was only worth 3
/ cents a day, transportation facilities were
everything that could be desired, and the
end Of cotton Importation from the
United States was in sight"
Figures We're plentiful TO show the great
good that England would receive from
her colony by doing away with our grain
and cotton importation. and q lovely pic
ture was portrayed of how all this would
be achieved I'm the short space Of FIVE
years. This was all a mirage
Now. Mr. Editor. by a short few min
utes reading of statistics it will
be seen that the cotton and grain produc-
ton Of India Is next 20 nothing. and the
mirage Will fade, and that there is no
possible chance OF this country ever be-
Ing in the remotest way menaced by IL.
But here comes the old old story In a
new guise. Now il is Nigeria, another
subconcern Of England in Africa. that
her cotton supply will come from.
Any one who knows anything about
these things must know that France has
tried and tried in vain To produce cotton
in AIgiers and other African colonies and
that all such attempts have proven fail
ures, dismal failures. Il Is equally well
known that England has made strenuous
efforts in India. Egypt. and many other
Of her numerous colonies TO produce cot
ton. but the demands on the South for
The King has never abated: indeed il
has been on the increase in proportion TO
the increase Of the population Of the
globe. and viii continue to increase.
There is no staple on the earth that will
be substituted for it. and no country on
the earth will ever produce a staple that
will equal that produced in the South
and we hope that our people will not be
frightened by this old. old song from
England. OF that they will yield one
cent on the good, fair. honest price they
are now getting for it.
Cotton is King" and will reign in all
his majesty for many long years yet.

SNOW STOPS POST-OFFICE CLOCK
Big Timepiece CIOgged Up, and Pass
ers-by Miss Cars.

Yesterdays wet, heavy snow played
havoc with the big clock in the tower
Of the Post-ofice building. on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, as well as with many other
timepieces and with street car lines.
All day the hands managed 70 keep
moving, Notwithstanding the snow, but
at 4:l5 the battle became too strenuous for
even the huge weights that work it, and
there was no change in the hour in the
vicinity of the post-office all night.
As it was not discovered until after
dark that the hands had made no prog
ress, the cause OF the stopping is not
known for certain, but the employees about
the building give it as their opinion that
the wet clinging snow clogged up the
counter balance weights that work the
hands on the big timepiece
