pressing than the demands for re-
claiming lands by irrigation in the
arid regions and by drainage in the
humid lowlands, or for utilizing the
water power now running to waste, OF
for purifying the waters so as to re-
duce or remove the tax of soil waste
to promote manufactures and safe
guard life.
1t is the part of wisdom to adopt
not a tumble of unrelated plans, but
a single comprehensive scheme for
meeting all the demands so far as pos
sible at the same time and by the same
means. This is the reason why the
Inland waterways commission was Gre

rior, including many of the members
of this congress.
Exhausting Resources.
Many of these resources which we
have been in the habit of calling in
exhaustible are being rapidly ex-
hausted. or in certain regions have act
ually disappeared. Coal mines, oil and
gas fields, and iron mines in important
numbers are already worked out
The coal and oil measures which re-
main are passing rapidly, or have
actually passed, into the possession
of great corporations. who acquire
control of these prime necessities of
moerdn life; a control without super
vision of any kind
Land Frauds.
Our public lands, whose highest
use is to supply homes for our peo-
pie, have been and are still being
taken in great quantities by large pri-
vate owners, to whom home making
is at the very best but a secondary
motive subordinate to the desire for
profit. To allow the public lands to
be worked by the tenants of rich men
for the profit of the landlords, instead
OF by freeholders for the livelihood of
their wives and children, is little less
than crime against our people and
our institutions.
Inc great central fact of the pub
lie land situation, as the public lands
commission well said, is that the
amount of public land patented by the
government to individuals is increas-
ing out of all proportion to the num-
Der of new homes. 1t is clear beyond

LISTEN TO THIS ADVICE,
Thousands of Sufferers Everywhere
Will Benefit il Statement Made
Is ONLY PARTLY True.

1t may be that some persons will be
inclined to doubt the statement made
by an eminent authority, at recent
meeting, that with mixture of dand-
elton, kargon and sarsaparilla, he
would give prompt relief to any suf-
ferer of rheumatism or tho usual forms
of backache, caused by inactive,
clogged kidneys. yet many cases of long
standing that had been entirely re-
lieved were cited to prove the truth
of his assertion. The same authority
further stated that many cases which
failed to yield to the healing waters
of the famous health resorts. or the
usual remedies as prescribed, salicy-
late of soda, potash, colchicum. etc
were readily relieved by the use of this
simple mixture-Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one-half ounce: COMPOUND Kar-
gon. one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a
teaspoonful dose after meals and at
bedtime
A well-known druggist, when ap-
preached upon the subject, stated that
While this prescription, as written. is
new. the ingredients are continually
prescribed by the best physicians and
any good prescription pharmacy has
them; they are inexpensive and harm
less to use, and are mixed by shaking
we'll in a bottle.
If the claims, made for this mixture,
are only partly correct, it would seem
that no sufferer here couEI afford TO
leave the prescription untried.

THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS
OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS
Says cortelyou and Conservative Busl-
ness Men Have Rendered invalu-
able Service in Checking Panic.

Washington. President Roosevelt
on Saturday congratulated Secretary
Cortelyou on his admirable handling
of the present financial crisis. The
letter of congratulation, which was
made public at the White House,
reads:
II congratulate you upon the adj
mirable way in which you have
handled the preseot crisis. | congrat
ulate also those conservative and sub
stantial business men who in this
crisis have acted with such wisdom
and public spirit. BY their action
they have rendered invaluable service
in checking the panic, which was
threatening to destroy the confidence
and credit necessary to the conduct
of legitimate business. No one who
considers calmly can question that
the underlying conditions which make
up our financial and industrial well
being are essentially sound and honest
Dishonest dealing and speculative en-
terprise are merely the occasional in
cidents of our real prosperity. The
action taken by you and by the bust
ness men in question has been of the
utmost consequence and has secured
opportunity for the calm considera
ton which must inevitably produce
confidence in our business conditions

FRENcHMEN NERVOUS.
Think the Whole Fabric Of American
Credit Has Been Endangered.

Paris.--The "house-cleaning in Wall
street" is having a sentimental rather
than a practical effect here. The pa
pers are devoting much space to the
Wall street crash" and "the slaughter
of American millionaires," and opera
tors on the bourse are closely watch
ing 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 com
mercial activities and over specula'
ton, helped along by the revelations
of improper methods of finance and
the position assumed by the authori
ties at Washington. Some of the
French bankers think President
Roosevelt has gone too far and that
the whole fabric of American credit
has been endangered.

FINANCIAL STORM
IN NEW YORK CITY
The Knickerbocker Trust Company,
With 100000 Profits, Forced
to Close Its Doors.
peposltors Make Demand for Their
Money and Second Largest Finan-
oiaI Institution In Gothem
Goes to the Wall.

New York City.-The financial storm
in all probability reached its height
on Tuesday, when credit, the under
the-surface foundation of all business,
trembled for a time. and before conf
dence had been restored New York's
second largest financial institution
had emptied its cash vaults under the
pressure Of the biggest run expert.
enced here In a generation; a stock
exchange firm had failed for $4,000
600; Wall streets principal securities
had settled from S. to IS a share; call
money had risen to 20 per cent, and
local bankers, united to stem the tide
of distrust, had been forced to appeal
for relief to the secretary of the
treasury at Washington.
The Knickerbocker Trust company,
the storm center, on Tuesday, paid out
cash to depositors at the rate of $44,-
444 a minute for three hours, and then
closed its doors. The directors had,
as they thought. fully prepared for a
run, and caused to be announced In
Tuesdays papers that $S,000,000 In
cash was on hand to meet all eventual.
tiles. At $3.50 a few depositors with
drew their accounts and an hour after
wards hundreds were In line to take
cut their deposits at the main office at
Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue
and at the Harlem and Bronx and
downtown branches. The $8,000,000
lasted until 1880, when Vice Presi-
dent j. T. Brown announced that the
bank had no more cash available and
payments were suspended.
Mr.. Brown said that the bank would
open Wednesday and payments be re-
sumed at 1890 o'clock. The Knicker-
booker, II was announced, had ample
securities to meet all demands, was
perfectly solvent, and 1t was only a
question Of raising the cash, when all
depositors who wished to withdraw
could do SO.

QUAKE IN ITALY,;
HUNDREDS PERISH
Several Villages Utterly Destroyed
and the Death List Will Exceed
Five Hundred.
Two Hundred Bodies Have Been
Taken From the Ruins Of the
Homes Of the Victims-Floods
Follow the Earthquake
Shock.

Rome.--Details of the earthquake in
Calabria on Wednesday, just received
here, show that the damage was much
more extensive than at first reported,
while the death list Is estimated at
500. Two hundred bolies have already
been taken from the ruins. Many OF
the villages are still cut off from com.
munication with Rome by the floods
and the destruction of the telegraph
them can be had.
The first shock of the earthquake
fortunately brought most of the pop.
plation of the villages into the open,
many succeeding in making their es-
cape to the hills or open places, or
the list of fatalities would have been
larger. To add to the desolation
caused by the earthquake, 1t was rain
ing in torrents, which greatly in.
creased the suffering among the home
less people.
Half the houses at Ferruzamo and
Brancaleone collapsed and many per.
sons were buried in the ruins; and
at Sinopoli and st. Ilario more lives
are said to have been lost. Panic pre-
vailed everywhere. Half the houses
of the village of Gerace are in ruins,
and similar conditions prevail in
number of other points in Calabria.
During the confusion caused by the
first earthquake the prisoners in the
Jail at Catazaro mutinied, and were
only subdued with great difficulty. The
female prisoners were particularly
alarmed. screaming, shouting and
beating the doors until the whole
place was in terrible uproar. The
prison officials did everything possible
to calm the inmates. but they broke
out afresh every time another earth
shock was experienced.

NEW Works. BLACK FRIDAY.
Several Trust Companies and One Ma
tonal Bank Suspend.

New York.-Friday was another
nerve-wrecking day, but the financial
institutions of New York have shown
extraordinary power Of resistance to
the pressure put upon them. While It
is true that several minor institutions
have been forced to close their doors,
yet two things should be said about
them.
First, that the amount involved was
not so great as to exert any marked
influence on the general situation, as
these banks were located in residen-
tial quarters and did not come into
touch with the larger financial insti.-
tutions of the metropolis; and, second.
there is every reason to believe that.
these banks and trust companies are
entirely solvent, and their difficulties
will prove to be only temporary.
The institutions which closed their
doors on Friday, with the sums due
depositors, were: The United States
Exchange bank, Harlem, 100000; In
ternational Trust company, about
100000; the Borough Bank of Brook
Ign, 100000; the Brooklyn bank,
$1,30O,O0O Williamsburg Trust COM
pany, Brooklyn, $7,500,000, and the
First National bank of Brooklyn, 3d.

WORST OF CRISIS is OVER.

Their bank suspensions, and reports
were favorable for the resumption OF
most of the banks which closed tenn
porarily last week. The engagement
of s1S,750.000 In gold from Europe
for importation to New York was fol
lowed by the sensational announce
ment of sales of American copper
abroad which will further increase the
tide Of foreign money to this country
to an aggregate of over $25,000,000.
This, with the rapid rise Of good Sc
curities on the stock exchange, in
some cases as much as 4 and 5 per
cent, and the policy of the trust com.
panies not to pay out currency for
boarding purposes, all contributed to
strengthen the feeling in banking
circles and among the public at large.
SO well was the situation in hand that
there was no such scurrying about of
leading financiers and hasty confer.
ences as took place during the closing
days of last week.

closed on Tuesday, William Turnbull.

"All the disturbance In the money
market has been caused by one man,
who, in the past six months, in public
and private speeches, has been gradu-
ally undermining the credit system Of
the country. Last night this company
had assets way In excess in Of Its liza
bilities. and in one night the conf.

were destroyed. This was brought
about by one man, and that man
who knew nothing whatever about
credit systems"

EQUAL RIGHTS
FOR JAPANESE
Foreign Minister Hayashi's Views

viii Insist Upon Japanese Being
Granted Rights Equal to Those
Granted Subjects Of the
Other Powers.

Tokio.-A delegate from the Japan
csc residents of San Francisco inter-
viewed Foreign Minister Hayashi on
Sunday and fully explained conditions
in that city relative to the prejudice
existing against Japanese. He point
ed out that the feeling for exclusion
was directed against the undesirable
Immigrant alone and that American
employers welcomed honest Japanese
laborers. He requested, on behalf of
his compatriots, that the foreign Of
flee permit the emigration of 900 hon.
est emigrants monthly through Seattle
and San Francisco.
Minister Hayashi replied that at
present 1t was advisable to limit emf.
grafton to half that number. He fur.
ther assured the delegate that every
thing will be done to protect japanese
interests and at the same time empha-
sized the Importance of stopping any
thing calculated to injure the tradi.
tional friendship of both countries.
The government would hereafter, he
said, supervise the kind of emigrants
allowed to go out.
When questioned II measures had
been taken to secure the right of nat
uralization for Japanese Minister
Hayashi replied that as a minister OF
his majesty's government he will
never encourage the alienizing of his
subjects, but will insist on securing
for Japanese rights equal to those
granted subjects of other powers.
Minister Hayashi, continuing, said
that he hoped that after the return of
M. lshii, the commissioner sent to
America to investigate the subject,
and the receipt of his report, definite
steps would be taken to find solu-
tion in an amicable and satisfactory
manner.

BRYAN HAS A PLAN.
Would Tax the Banks to Raise an
Emergency Fund.

New York.-The best way to pre-
gent recurrence of present financial
conditions, in the opinion Of William
]. Bryan, would be to provide guar
antee fund, raised by taxing the banks
themselves, which could be used in
emergency to satisfy demands of de.
positors. But the bankers" said Mr..
Bryan, ARE the very men who fight
such a plan because they object to the
tax" Mr.. Bryan said he thought a
general panic would not result from
the present conditions in New York
City. He Is not inclined to hold Pres
ident Roosevelt responsible for the
present conditions.
