AsTurE GOV. HUGHES.

Governor Hughes of New York was
bombarded yesterday by large del
egation of women who had come to
present their arguments in favor of
the proposed constitutional amend
ment to strike out the limiting word
male" from the constitutional pro.
vision regarding the right to vote.
After the governor had heard the
ladies to the end he answered:
II believe most heartily in the i'm
portance of having every question of
this sort fully debated he said. $50
that from the conflicting views pre-
sented the truth may emerge.
Il am not going to express any
opinion on this subject at this time
further than to make the practical
statement that I believe that the de-
cision of this matter ultimately will
rest with the women themselves.
What the women in this state really
want they will have For the men, the
voters of the state, who will pass upon
this subject when it is presented,
eventually will act in accordance with
the demand which they feel actually
exists on the part of those who will
be affected by the change"
The governor Is to be complimented
on his tact. He did not commit himself
in the least, yet he pacified that dele.
cation of women by assuring them
that they always had their own way
and left them in the best of humor
when they departed from the execu-
tive rooms

by the following article in today's

Chicago Tribune:
Deposits in the national banks of
Chicago are now the largest in their
history The money panic, so far as
the banks are concerned, is complete
ly over, and confidence has been re-
established among the cauntry institu-
tons. The deposits have poured in
from banks in the western country.
Two months ago these country AMI
reserve city banks we're clamoring for
cash from Chicago. Not much sooner
did they get it than they are sending
it back again.
Deposits of the national banks at
were S345,051,S24 The last previous
high mark was made May 20, 1907,
when the total was $340, 498,7 02. The
low point in the last year, so far as
published statements are concerned,
was on Dec. 3, when the total was
1898 ,006,933. Those figures, however,
did not represent the lowest point, for
there had been some recovery before
the banks were asked to make a
statement.
Since Dec. deposits have increas-
ed over $47,OO0,OO0, or 1871 per cent.
At the same time the national banks
have strong cash reserves and cash
| resources. The latter item is 431 per
cent of total deposits.
The pessimism that ushered in 1903
hardly survived the first month of the
year and the end of the second month
finds confidence perched high in spite
of the rude jar it was given in the
closing weeks of the old year.

ONLY THE DEAD ARE HEROES
IN RUSSIA,

The emperor Of Japan ordered Cen
sral Nogi to treat General Stoessel
with the honors due to gallant sol
Tier. His country should treat him
likewise
This statement, a part of a letter
written by Captain Tsunoda, who, on
behalf of General Nogi, conducted the
negotiations for the surrender Of the
fortress and who was one of the first
to ener Port Arthur after it's capitula-
ton was evidently given no weight by
the courtmartial which yesterday con-
demned the hero Of Port Arthur" to
death. The evidence or one of the be-
sieging force which for four months
assailed the walls of the fortress and
which lost 10000 of it's number in the
siege was not considered material by
the court. Captain Tsunoda said in
his letter:
All proper food was exhausted and
the 10000 Russians under arms were in
no condition to fight The key to the
fortress was gone when Two Hun
dred and Three Meter hill was cap
tured, General Stoessel, might have
held out for fortnight longer, but the
result would have been an inevitable
massacre, in which it would have been
difficult to distinguish combatant
from noncombatants.
IF others forget it, we remember
that Port Arthur cost us 10000 lives
by gunfire alone. We dug forty kilo-
meters of parallels and expended 3d.
100000 rounds Of ammunition.
European history chronicles the
glorious caDitulation of Port Arthur
and it is so considered in Japan That
is why the emperor of Japan ordered
General Nogi to treat General Stoessel
with all the honors due to a gallant
soldier His own country should treat
him likewise"
Perhaps this evidence was imma-
terial to the strategists who planned
the defense of the fort from their COM
Portable desks in the war offices, safe
from even the offensive smell
of powder. Perhaps they had
it all planned out that if at
the end of four months there
were $4,000 fighting men left Of the
$4,000 at beginning of the seige, with
only paltry $4,000 dead or in the
hospitals, Gen. Stoessel could have
held out six weeks longer and permit
ted the remaining half of his command
to die as nobly as their comrades.

THE IMPROVED BUSINESS CON.
DITIONS,

The close of the present week finds
business conditions more stable than
at any time since the backward move
ment set in last fall. Dun's report
this week is more optimistic in tone
than any issued in months. 1t notes
Improvement in the volume of trade
and greater confidence in the future
More mills and factories have re-
sumed, it points out, and it announces
that many other plants will open next
month. A revival of the considera-
ton of extensions and new building
operations, postponed last fall, is also
noted
Not only this, but the banks of the
country are reporting unusual pros
perity attendant upon the return ,of
prosperity. Attention is called to this

MUCH SNOW TO FALL IN NORTH
ERN STATES AND RAIN IN
THE SOUTH.
MARCH TO BE NORMAL
Mixed Temperature During Next
Month Is Forecasted-Two Storms
Predicted - Average
Precipitation.

Weather conditions such as have
prevailed for the past week are like
ly to continue with but little varia-
ton, warm and cool weather, but the
amount of each is not determined
The next disturbance is scheduled for
late in the coming week. The COM
plete forecast follows:
Washington, d. c.. Feb. %. = The
last bulletin gave forecasts of dis
turbance to cross continent 81 TO %,
warm wave 20 to "a. cool wave % to
~ Next disturbance will reach Pa
cific coast about 81, cross Pacific
slope by close of %, great central val
leys 20 to March 2, eastern states 8.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about 81, great central valleys 70,
eastern states March g. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about March
l. great central valleys 8, eastern
states 5.
This disturbance will bring one of
the most severe weather periods of
March. Temperature will range high
as the storm wave comes in and the
drop in temperatures following will
amount to cold wave in the north
ern states AS this cool wave comes in
SHOWS will fall in the northern states
and rains in southern.
About and Immediately. following
Feb. % unusually cold weather may
be expected with SHOWS and frosts
farther south than usual for this sea
son. AS February goes out warm
wave will be approaching meridian
80 and much warmer weather will pre-
vail for several days.
Indications are that temperatures
of March will average from about to
above normal, ranging highest in the
section within 200 miles of Burling
ton. Iowa, and lowest on the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts and on our north
ern and southern borders.
Indications are that the southern
states will be short on rainfall for
March while the northern latitudes
will have from about to above normal
precipitation.
1t appears that the temperatures Of
March are to come in reverse order
the first ten days averaging warmer
than the last tens days. If these indi
cations prove correct the last weel
of March will be too cold for southern
truck gardening and the gardener
will need to cover their plants.
The great storms of March viii
come from IL to 10 but there will BIZ
two other severe storm periods, one
near first of the month and one neal
last days of the month. l particu
larly call attention to March 10 OF
during the three days of which Marcel
IS is central day. About that time
expect very severe storms.
My forecasts were little off fol
first part of February cannot hope
to be correct all the time. The Jan
uary forecasts were excellent and
could we'll afford the errors that oc
Cured in February.
During March none of the planet.
will be visible in the early morning
but in the evening Jupiter, Venu.
and Mars will be good objects of OBJ
servation. These three and Mercur,
will control our weather They will BIZ
in magnetic touch with the earth anc
their movements will largely affec
our magnetic needles about the date!
have pointed out for our weather
disturbances.
