An important change will be made in
the attitude of the government toward
persons who assist in the prosecution of
government cases in which are contested
the rights of other persons to make en-
try upon public lands.
Heretofore it has been the practice
when the government has contested for
cancellation entries of public lands, to
permit outsiders TO appear in the prose-
cution and take the place of the govern
ment and assist in the payment of the
expenses of the suit. Such action would
give these persons prior right of entry
upon the lands in case of cancellation
of the former entry.
There is no law for this procedure II

While the government may avail itself

REACH BUENOS AYRES.
Torpedo Boats Are Welcomed to Ar

Buenos Ayres, Jan. 27.-Attended by
a division of Argentine torpedo boats,
the American tropedo boat f1otilla which
life Rio ,Janeiro January q, entered
the port of Buenos Ayres at $50 Sun
day morning the arrival being witness
ed by a great crowd of spectators. A
few minutes later Commander Moreno
of the ministery Of marine went aboard
the Whipple and welcomed the Ameri-
can officers in behalf of the govern
ment of the Argentine Republic. The
entire extent of the public docks where
berths had been prepared for the visit
ing fleet, was lined by detachments of
marines and prefecture guards AL
most up to the moment of entering the
port the weather had been extremely
stormy but it gradually cleared and
brought increased numbers of specta-
tors down to the harbor to give silent
but hearty welcome to the American
sailors. On entering the basin one Of
the tugs which had the torpedo boats
in tow was cast off, leaving the tug
Enriqueta to conduct the Whipple to
her rnoorings. Lieut.. Commander Cone,
commander of the fiotilla, was greatly
pleased with the hearty reception He
said that but for the fog which de-
layed the little vessels about II hours
outside Rio Janeiro the passage to
Buenos Ayres had been fine. The
Americans were met by the Argentine
fotilla off Flores island The welcoming
fleet saluted and steamed around the
fiotilla and for half an hour there was
a warm exchange of greetings. Com
mander Cone subsequently boarded the
Argentine flagship and the trip to this
port was continued. The torpedo boats
anchored in the roads shortly after mid
night and came up to the dock as early
as possible. Every boat in the Ameri-

TOO MUCH MONEY.
Interest Rates Are Lower Than at Any
Time Last Year.

New York, Jan. 27.-The feature of
the financial situation last week was
the continued rush of funds back into
the reserve deposit of the banks. The
was perceptible in the foreign money
centers as well as here, and was effec-
tive in forcing down the official dis
count rates Of the Bank of England,
the Bank of France and the Imperial
bank of Germany, and the open market
rates in all markets. Notwithstanding
this decline in the attraction for money
abroad, the price has risen strongly
toward the rate at which exports of
gold would be profitable.
The growing redundancy of our own
market has been responsible for this
action. Supplies have pressed upon the
New York loan market with increasing
urgency carrying the call loan rate down
to almost nominal figures and reducing
the interest rates on time loans to
figures lower than were enjoyed at any
time last year. The remaining issue of
New York clearing house loan certifi-
Gates has as a consequence, been going
into rapid retirement The rapid cas-
ing of the money market has not been
affected by the notice of withdrawal of
SIC, 900 900 of government deposits from
the New York banks, partly because of
the large current deficit in the gov
ernment revenues, but also by reason
of the accumulation of funds being
more rapid than the demand to take
them up. This is made manifest by
the heavy tide of bank notes out of
the circulation of the country reflected
in the current redemption of these is
sues al the United States treasury and
by the growing movement on the part
of the banks to retire them by means
of deposit of lawful money with the
United States treasury.
The differences are plain that the
heavy imports of $10,000,000 of foreign
gold and the rapid issue of over $780,,
0OO, 600 national bank notes, which fol-
lowed the runs on the banks last fall
to say nothing of the various emergency
issues of clearing house certificates are
now proving redundant in the countrys s
circulation. Such result is the Sc
uuence of financial panic as soon as
normal conditions of confidence in the
banks begin to re-establish themselves
The development was foreSeen with
such confidence that speculative opera
tions in the securities markets had been
largely concluded in anticipation of the
event The disposition to realize profits
manifest last week was therefore nor
NAL and to be expected.

monds, and from Mr.. and Mrs. Regin-

The Duchess of Marlborough, a cousin
of Miss Gladys, sent a long rope chain
of pearls, with tassels of pearls and

Mrs. Almeric Paget sent from Lon

There was a full dinner service of
silver from members of the Wander
bilt family. Mrs. Elliot F. Shepard

sticks for the dinner table.

which, it is declared by some, will in
validate it, is that which permits a
bank that has become a member to
withdraw on thirty days notice. 1t is
banker who, looking ahead, sees a
cloud in the financial sky and believes
a ''shakeup'' is at hand, can and will
take immediate steps to withdraw
and within the thirty days will get
out from under and share no part of
the protection of its depositors. In
the opinion of Senator Quincy the
law, with this withdrawal privilege,
is absolutely worthless. 1t is, he says.
the 'stinger" which the national
banks have put into this measure. 1t
also opens the door to wildcatting, as
bank can participate in the benefits
of the ''bank depositors' indemnity
fund so long as there is smooth sail
ing and it is all profits, and than
withdraw when trouble comes and
leave it's depositors without protec-
ton of any kind
The house judiciary committee. to
which was referred the Holdren nat
uraI gas bill, will, 1t is understood, re-
in the measure which make it uncon-
stitutional These are: 1t is an inter-
ference with inters tate commerce; it
will compel the violation Of the con-
tract between the gas producing and
piping companies and the foreign con-
sumers. The Holdren bill provides
that whenever the gas supply in Kan
sas gets lower for any reason what
ever, and difficulty is experienced i'll
supplying the Kansas people with nat
ural gas, then the sale of gas to any
persons or concerns outside Of the
state is prohibited under penalty. The
effect of this would be to shut off
Kansas City. Mo-, st. Joseph and Jop-
lin, three cities that now are large con-
sumers of natural gas from the Kansas
fields, whenever the supply is weak.
This would work a great hardship al
any time that the pressure is weaken
ed, and generally this is at the worst
time, the flow of gas from the ousfde
would have to be cut off and foreign
consumers would necessarily suffer.
