Financial Conditions.

New York.-The financial situa-
ton is gradually clearing. 1t shows
no striking features. Runs on the
banks and trust companies are prae-
tically over; money which was tenn
porarily withdrawn form banks sub
ject to runs is filling into stronger
banks and currency is being provid-
ed in most cases where the demand is
considered legitimate. Further en-
gagements Of gold by Boston and
other points have brought the en-
gagements abroad to $26, 550, 900. The
Luitania, which sailed from Liver
pool carries about $4,000, 900 in gold
one of the largest single shipments
ever made.
Doubt is expressed whether the see
rotary Of the treasury will be able
to carry out on any considerable
scale the project of the New Orleans
exporters for accepting cash at gov
eminent fiscal agencies abroad and
transferring it by telegraph to points
in this country. But Secretary Cor
telyou is understood to be willing to
make deposits of public money at
cotton exporting points SO as to re-
lieve the strain.

Wants Rich Malefactor.

President Roosevelt does not like
to be criticised. No criticism of the
administration hurts him and his per-
sonal feeling more, or more precisely
no criticism exasperates more, than
the criticism which declares that he
has landed no malefactor Of great
wealth. in Jail. He is trying hard,
using all the machinery of the govern
ment, to put some specimen of "suc-
cessful dishonesty" in prison stripes,
and when some newspaper or public
man asks him why he does not do it
he can only writhe and impotently
grit his teeth. He is striving to
please, but he can not catch rich
malefactor, in the classic Devery
phrase, "with the goods. -

land Recovery.

Mobile, Ala.-The filing Of deed
for probate will mark the first step
in contest for lands in Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana,
aggregating in value several hun
dreds Of millions of dollars. The
lands are alleged to have been the
property Of the late DR.. Joseph Chas-
tang, held under the treaty guaran-
tee by the United States government
In the Louisiana Purchase act.
They are now in possession Of sew
eral hundred owners, and the allega-
ton is that the lands have never been
within reach. Heirs are instituting
the proceedings.
The property in Louisiana is close
ly adjacent to New Orleans. In Ala
bama it embraces some of the most
valuable property in the city of Mo-
bile. In Florida the lands are in Es-
Gambia and Santa Rosa counties, and
IN Mississippi they extend along the
coast in places from Scranton to Bay
st. Louis.

Will Hold For Is Gents.

Guthrie, O. T-Cotton growers in
all parts of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory held secret meetings, and
discussed the cotton market situa-
ton. 1t was decided to hold the 1907
pick until cotton prices have adj
vanced to certain point. The cot
ton growers have compact organ
ization and each member is sworn to
secrecy.
1t is rumored the minimum price
at which farmers will sell was fixed
at 16 cents. The action Of cotton
growers to hold the crop is consider
ed In favorable light by financial
concerns, as indicating that the
furry has not frightened planters
and that they are not in need of
ready money. The fact that the
banks will not be called on to supply
cotton purchase funds will aid in re-
storing normal conditions. 1t is es--
timated that over 10000 bales Of cot
ton will be held out of the market

POLITICAL WAR
In LOUISIANA
SANDERS PROCLAMAT TT ON
WILL NOT STAND.
STARTS AT ONCE FOR HOME
Says Lieutenant Governors Call Nam
ing Additional Subjects for Extra
Legislative Session to Consider
Would Embarrass Other Reforms.

Norfolk, Va.-Governor n. c.
Blanchard Of Louisiana, left for home
He declared that no questions other
than those cited in his call Of Octo-
Der 25th for special session of the
Louisiana legislature, can be consid-
cred by that body, and that Lieus.
Gov. j. Y. Sanders proclamation, in
jeoting additional subjects of coz
poration regulation for investigation
would not stand, on the ground that
they would embarrass the proposed
reforms for which the session was
called.
Governor Blanchard says that the
additional railroad and corporation
regulation subjects for consideration
at the special session of the Louisi-
ana legislature provided for in the
proclamation by Lieut.. Gov. Sanders,
eff allowed to stand, would confuse
embarrass and likely defeat the very
fisacl reforms which alone justify
calling the extra session, would take
up the time of the legislature to the
exclusion of the very objects which
prompted me to call the extra session
and would precipitate upon the capt.
tai strong corporation and railway
lobby"
After declaring that Lieut. Gov.
Sanders as an aspirant for the guber-
material nomination, has been on the
stump for four months, with the TIVE
other candidates opposing him, Gov.
Blanchard says:
It is my belief that is it not TO
the best interest Of Louisiana just
now, to permit the lieutenant gov
ernor's proclamation to stand"
As acting Governor of Louisiana,
during the absence of Gov. Blanchard
at jamestown, Lieut.. Gov. Jared Y
Sanders issued proclamation sup
Elementary to that recently promul-
gated by the Governor, in which the
acting governor adds two more sub
jects for consideration at the com
ing special session of the legislature,
in addition to the eleven specified
in the original call
First of the two additional fea-
lures is proposed provision by
which executive power is to be Civ
en- to the State Railroad Commission
in the regulation and control of rail
roads, express, telephone and tele
graph companies.
The second is to provide for the
retention In state courts of actions
instituted by foreign or Federal GER
porations doing business in the state.
when brought against the state Of
Louisiana, or any of its political sub
divisions, or any citizen Of the state.
This measure is kindred provision
to the preceding recommendation.

Final Cost of Canal.

In view Of the questions which will

session of congress, government Off
Gals have been figuring over the Ill
innate cost Of the Panama canal. The
figures show that the ultimate cost O..
the canal will be in the neighborhood
Of $246, 100000. This is far in excess
Of the original estimates. and the orig
inal sum named by congress as the
limit within which the expenditures
were to be kept. 1t is thought, how
ever, with the splendid progress made,
there will be little difficulty in having
the limit raised by congress.

For Fourteen-Inch Rifles.

Fourteen-inch rifles may be INSTALL
ed on the new 20,000-ton battleships
recommended by the general board.
Ordnance officers are alreay consider
ing plans for them. The idea is to
give the fourteen-ineh projectiles the
same velocity as the twelve-inch,
thereby assuring a comparatively fat
trajectory and accuracy Of fire. The
move comes as sequel to reports re-
+ceived from abroad that England is
to have thirteen and one-half-incl

Harahan Optimistic.

Chicago-Construction work on the
Illinois Central railroad will be con-
tinued, according to President Hara-
han, who returned from New York.
Some men might be put out of work
by the coming of winter, as usual,
but in general work would proceed as
usual. There would be no let up on
the work now in progress to finish the
line into Birmingham, said President
Harahan. He believed that financial
conditions in New York were rapidly
assuming normal state and that
throughout the country there would
be no further signs Of panic.

More Courage.

Orders from Washington for the
immediate coming of $15,O0O,OOO in
double eagles in order to help relieve
the money stringency, finds the Phil
adelphia mint prepared for the task.
1t is expected that employees at the
mint will have to work overtime in
order to get the coin out quickly.
Fortunately, the silver coinage for the
year is well out Of the way, enough
silver coin having already been turn
ed out in anticipation of the usual
demand for it during the Christmas
holidays. The coinage of $15,O00,00O
Of gold will consume about three
fifths of the bullion now at the mint.

The state agents have been busy
raiding "blind tigers" and had seiz-

tail. All Of it was emptied into the

in broken packages, and rather than
bear the expense Of analysis, which
would be necessary before the stuff
cold be sold, under the STATE law. it

BILE Relics Received.

Treasury officials are agreeably
surprised at the number of banks
throughout the country which have
already indicated their purpose to
comply with the suggestion of the
Comptroller of the Currency Ridge
dy that additional circulation be TAX
en- out. A large number Of kilograms
were received at the department ask
ing for additional circulation, vary
ing in amount from a few thousand
dollars to two millions. George T..
Roberts, former director of the mint
and now president of the Commercial
National Bank of Chicago, is here,
and has engaged 100000 additional
circulation for his bank.
Sol Wexler, vice president of the
Whitney Central National Bank of
New Orleans, is also here and is
makig arrangements to materially in
crease his holdings. Other prominent
bankers, through Washington repre-
sentatives are arranging to deposit
the necessary securities preparatory
ito taking out. national bank notes
ito the limit Of their capital stock.
The Comptroller now has in his vaults
national bank currency to the amount
of $167, 100000, and while consider
able proportion of this amount be-
longs to banks that have already
reached their limit under the law, a
very large sum is available for banks
that carry only comparatively
small amount when compared with
their capital. One large New York
bank could, under the law, it is said,
within the next ten days outstand cir
culation, and in all probability will
soon ask for material increase. Mr..
Ridgely expressed the opinion that
within the next ten days outsand cir
culation of national banks will have
been increased by from $25, 900, 600
to $3O,000,0O0, and possibly much
larger sum.

Cardinal Interested.

Cordial sympathy with the anti
tuberculosis movement was expressed
by Cardinal Gibbons in letter which
has been received by John S. Fulton,
secretary general of the International
congress on tuberculosis. The car
dinal affirmed the belief that the
white plague would ultimately be
brought under as complete control as
smallpox, yellow fever and other
scourges of humanity have been. Aft
er praising the members Of the as
ISOLATION for their benevolent inter
est in the cause of humanity, the
cardinal continued: "My faith in
the ultimate checking Of tuberculosis
throughout the world is based upon
my own remembrances Of that other
scourge-yellow. fever-and the
change that has been brought abont
through the study of the disease.
Fifty years ago, and even until recent
years, yellow fever was most dread
ed visitor in New Orleans. In one Of
bhe epidemics of the disease I con-
tracted the fever myself. Our free
dom from anxiety, so far as yellow
fever is concerned, we owe to the
men who laid down their own lives
for the benefit of their fellow men.
There was Major Carroll, who died
only month ago after years Of suf-
fering caused by his voluntary SUBJ
mission to incubation with yellow
fever. There was his colleague, DR..
I.azear, who died soon after inocula-
ton. These men were genuine heroes,
and too high praise can not be be-
slowed upon them for their services
to humanity" Reviewing the present
methods Of treating tuberculosis, the
cardinal continues: "In connection
with the program for the interna-
tionaI Congress of tuberculosis, my
attention has been called to the in
vestigations being carried on by the
men of science abroad. In France,
In spite of the materialistic avowals
of the scientists, the activity in re-
