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:
Il congratulate you upon the adj.
mifable way In which you have
handled the present 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 whu
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

EQUAL RIGHTS
FOR JAP ANESE
Foreign Minister Hayashi's Views
as to Refusal to Naturalize
Subjects Of MikadO.
viii Insist Upon Japanese Being
Granted Rights Equal to Those
Granted Subjects Of the
Other Powers.

Tokio--A delegate from the Japan
ese 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 compatIiots, that the foreign Of
fee permit the emigration of 900 hon.
est emigrants monthly through Seattle
and San Francisco.
Minister Hayashi replied that at
present II 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 IL 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 allenizing 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
NJ. Ishii, the commissioner sent to
America TO investigate the subject,
and the receipt of his report. definite
stops would be taken to find solu-
ton in an amicable and satisfactory
manner.

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

New York.-Friday was another
nerve-wrecklng day, but the financial
institutions of New York have shown
extraordinary power of resistance to
the pressure put upon them. While 1t
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,
$l,300,O00; Williamsburg Trust COM
pany, Brooklyn, $7,500OO0, and the
First National bank of Brooklyn, 3d.
100000.

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

Paris.--The "house-cleaning in Wall
street" is having 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.

Follow the Earthquake
Shock.

Rome.-Detais 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
lines and roads, and no word from
them can be had.
The first shock of the earthquake
fortunately brought most of the pop
ulation 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, It was rain

Half the houses at Ferruzamo and
Brancaleone collapsed and many per.
sons were buried in the ruins; and

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 a terrible uproar. The
