MORE KANSAS MONEY.
state Bank Statement Shows Increase
In Deposits Of @s,5oo,ooo.

Topeka, May 1S.-The TAT Kansas
state banks have recovered from the
effects Of the panic and now show an
increase in deposits Of nearly $1,000
900 over that Of a year ago. The de-
posts show an increase Of more than
$3,500,000 over the statement made
in the panic, December 8. These fig-
ures were made public by John Q.
Royce, state bank commissioner, who
gave out the statement Of the banks
March 81.
Owing to the fact that the call for
the statement for the state banks
came at a different time than that Of
the national banks no comparison IL
made. On May 6 Of last year tie
banks made a statement showing that
the deposits were more than $7b,OO0,-
900. In August the deposits were $780,
100000. This amount was exception
ally large at that time on account Of
the harvest money. In December the
deposits dropped to $4,000, 1000 and
by the end Of March they had In
creased to s76,OOO,oOO. 100000 more
than year ago,

A PoSToFFIcE RULING.
POstmaSters Must Inspect Packages to
Be Carried by Rural Carriers.

Washington, May 13.-lnformation
has reached the post office department
that a merchant recently sent out by
rural carrier one pair Of shoes, and on
top Of the shoe box placed package
Of salt, the latter being added to make
the package overweight to avoid the
payment Of postage SO that the carrier
might carry the package for hire.
In this connection Assistant Post
master General De Graw says: "All
packages Of merchandise to be sent
out by rural carriers by merchants Of
the town should be presented at post
offices for inspection, and in case 1t
Is found that extraneous matter not
ordered by the patrons has been added
to any mailable matter, for the pur-
pose Of making such package Of mat
ter unavailable, postmasters should re-
fuse to permit the carrier to carry any
such matter or package for hire out
side Of the mails, and rural carriers
should not receive any mail matter
from patrons as unavailable matter
for hire which they suspect has been
made unavailable by such devices as
adopted by the merchant referred to-"

Ne NEEDS THAT SPANKING.
The French Would Like to See chas-
tIsement Administered to Castro.

Paris, May 1.-THE recent expul-
sion of eight FTenchmen from Vene-
zuela has served to increase the re-
sentiment Of French public opinion
against President Castro's arrogant
treatment Of foreigners. The Temps,
reviewing the situation, expresses re-
greet that France did not send ships
to lombard Puerto Cabello, instead OF
simply breaking on diplomatic rela-
tons, when M. Taigny, the French
charge d'affaires was expelled from
Venezuela two years ago, 1t declares
that the time has come to act.
'HThe United States seems disposed
to begin" says the Temps. Senator
CulIom declared that Castro deserved
a good spanking. Never was there a
more propitious occasion for President
Roosevelt to use the big stick, and
France is perfectly willing to see him
enact the role Of peaeemaker. Vene-
Euela must be taught a lesson and II
Is immaterial whether It comes from
Washington or elsewhere, provided 1t
comes quickly"

RUSSELL LEAVES VENEZUELA.
No FareweIls From ffielals-serioua
Conditions at la 0ualra.

Willamstad, May Nv. W. Rus
sell. the American minister to Vene'
zuela. sailed from here Sunday on the
steamship Caracas for the United
States, where he will spend his vaca'
ton Of two months. The American
minister arrived here from Puerto Ca
bello, Wa, sailing from that port sat
urday afternoon after a visit to the
United States gunboat Paducah. His
departure from Puerto Cabello was
greeted with salute Of Is guns.
That there Is a tension in the diplo
matte relations between the United
States and Venezuela was shown by
the fact that none of the Venezuelan
officials was on hand to bid Mr.. Rus
sell goodbye.
Thomas p. Moffatt, American con-
sui at La Guaira, is incommunicado
in that city because of the plague. 1t
is thought that the United States may
send gunboat there for the purpose
Of transferring the consul because at
present there are no American inter
ests requiring his presence. Presi'
dent Castro's decree shutting off La
Guaira may be prolonged indefinitely
or until a full week passes without
new cases Of the plague, making their
appearance.
There is great distress among the
unemployed of which the number is
large. Merchants in LaGuaira are DO
ing little business and are no longer
able to support the poor. An appea!
has been made to the chamber OF COM
merce in Caracas for help. A second
relief train was sent to the Isolated
city Saturday with provisions. The
death list is growing and the whole
town seems to be infected.

THE CURRENCY Bill FIGHT
AN EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO
PASS vREELAND MEASURE.


Washington, May l3.-URder whiT
and spur the Republican leaders In
the house expect to put through the
vreeland currency bill on Thursday Of
this week. They expect to do 1t In the
face OF practically solid Democratic
opposition and despite the Republican
insurgency, whose leaders are Repre-
sentatives Fowler Of New Jersey
chairman Of the banking and currency
committee; Prince Of Illinois, and
Hayes Of California.
Presuming that every member OF
the house will be in his seat and that
all Of the Democrats will vote against
1t, 20 contrary Republican votes will
defeat the bill. 80 the situation as II
now is falls within these lines: Mr..
Watson Of Indiana, 40 whip OF his
party, has pledged every Republican
to be In his seat next Thursday The
insurgent leaders claim their total
strength at Tuesdays close was So
the requisite 20 and seven to spare,
and that the prospects are bright for
holding the three dozen firmly togeth-
er. An informal cloakrOom confer
ence, called by Minority Leader Will
liams, Tuesday afternoon developed an
apparently solid Democratic front
against the bill The Republican "or-
ganization" leaders made this state
ment Immediately after recess Of the
house:
ut looks very good for the vreeland
bill. The insurgent claims are over
statements. There Is excellent rea-
son to believe that the bill will go
through on Thursday. The decision Of
the Democrats to present a united
front against us will simply serve to
arouse party spirit among the ma
jority and strengthen rather than
weaken our line"

ABOUT ALL OVER
THE FLEET ENTERTAINMENT Al
SAN FRANCISCO DRAWING
TO A CLOSE.
LAST RECEPTION AND BALL
High Society Danes Officers and En-
listed Men Enjoyed the Enter
talnment Together-The
Fleet Breaking Up.

San Francisco, May IA real
novelty Tuesday marked the feet en-
tertainment program when the blue
Jackets and petty officers were the
guests Of honor at reception and ball
given at the auditorium under the au'
spices OF the ladies' Of the exclusive
California club. Women high In the
ranks Of San Francisco society danced
with the enlisted men and in two d.
visions Of the grand march that
marked the opening Of the ball there
were q number Of the higher ofiicerS
Of the feet In line with the men. The
function was marked by much Of the
decorative splendor that has charac-
terized the receptions to the officers.
All first class liberty men and all
petty officers were the guests Of honor
and they rarely enjoyed the attentions
paid them. Many Of the sailors were
accompanied by their own best girls
and danced with them until we'll along
in the morning hours. The men all
were attired in their dress blouses Of
blue, with white knife halyards about
their necks and presented a picture
illustrative Of the quality Of timber of
which the enlisted personnel Of the
navy Is made. Scores Of officers and
their wives attended the ball many OF
the latter dancing with men from their
husbands divisions on shipboard.
Quite an elaborate supper was pro-
vide1 and altogether the function was
probably the most enjoyable the men
have ever had. Santa Barbara spread
. piece Of canvas over the asphalt OF
the Ocen boulevard for the men to
dance upon while they were at that
port but made no other provision for
their comport.
During Tuesday many Of the sailors
and officers were taken about the city
on excursions and to the adjacent val
leys. There were baseball games and
other athletic events and all sorts OF
attractions to keep the shore forces
busy.
The remarkable fighting force that
has been anchored in the roadstead
since Wednesday last now is rapidly
disintegrating and 1t will be many
months before its tonnage again will
be equaled.
The Maine and the Missouri were
the first Of the battleships to drop out
Of line. The Maine went to Mare
Island for overhauling before begin
ming her Independent cruize back to
the Atlantic in advance of the fleet.
The Missouri, with her broken high
pressure cylinder went into dry dock
at Hunters point and later Is to be
repaired at Mare Island. 1t is esti-
mated that the Missouri will Just
about be ready to accompany the feet
to the far east on July Z. 1t may be
necessary to work night and day on
the task of replacing her broken en-
CINE. The Alabama will take the
place OF the Missouri on the Puget
Sound cruise.
