FRANCE BUYING MUCH GOLD.

The Bank of France has been drawn
upon by Germany to the full extent
that the bank could stand. for gold
and then Germany bought good deaI
of gold in New York. Germany has
| been prolific buyer of gold for the
past six months, and her gold reserves
in the National Bank at Berlin, show
largely in excess in the mid-May re-
port this year. compared with last year
at the same date. The total gold hold
ings of the principal European banks
show an aggregate in their mid May
reports this year of $3.50, ,049,31s, COM
pared with f507 ,006.3 in mid May of
last year. Germany's proportion of
this increase amounts to we'll above
$20,000000. On the other hand, France
has increased her holdings less than
s2,000,000, even after receiving part
Of the $lo,0OO,00o in gold that the
Bank OF France has bought in the
New York market, The final $4,000, 900
of this purchase was shipped on Sat
urday Of last week, $6,000,000 of it
having been shipped earlier in the
month, and portion Of it included
in the returns Of May 18th.
Russia increased her holdings dur
ing the year by almost $50,00o,000.
The Bank OF England increased over
s30,000,000, with France and Austria
practically stationary in their gold
holdings in the two reports.

of France have shown remarkable f1uc.
tuations in the past three years. In
mid-May Of 1911 the silver in the
Bank of France amounted to S54 $50 900

the Bank of France stands at 600.
$4,000 francs, a loss IN the two years
Of almost 25o,O00oo0 francs, OF, say,
50,0O0,0oO.
The occasion for the Bank of France
to make such extraordinary efforts as
1T has been making to strengthen its
gold reserves and generally its finan~
cial position, even standing the loss
of the exchange in order to got gold,
is because that bank anticipates large
demands during the next few months
in the form of loans to the Balkan
states, which will look to Paris as one
of the chief lenders. It is expected,
indeed, that France will increase its
order. for gold as long as the metal
can be obtained by merely paying the
exchange upon it, as the $4,000 900
obtained in New York was had.
1t Is often said that the Bank of
England is the financial center Of the
world. but it is plain that the Bank
OF France does not yield this pre-.
emlpence, and is strengthening itself
to play the leading part in the financial
settlements that are coming. and that
must presently be made in the different
nations of Europe. It is certain. also,
that as compared with the urgency of
Germany to borrow money, the Bank
Of France need fear no rivalry in that
quarter

SENATORIAL RESISTANCE.

Republican Senators have given fair
notice that they intend TO resist the
passage Of the Wilson Underwood bill
by all the means at their power; and
the means of resistance to any measure
in the L. S. Senate are so many
and so extraordinary that it would not
surprise us in the least to see the bill
held up in that body indefinitely. The
only available means of preventing
this would seem to be a change in the
rules of the Senate which would limit
debate and enable that body to come
10 a vote on the bill or any part of it
| by cutting OFF unlimited speech making
and suppressing the dilatory tactics
that have heretofore ruled in the body.
First of all it appears that the Sen
ate Finance Committee, which now has
the bill in charge and which is eX-
pected to report it early in June. will
itself report considerable number of
lamendmentss. The Republican Senators
will be able to propose amendments to
those amendments, and other amend
ments Of their own. They will also be
able to debate those amendments as
long as they choose under the present
rules of the Senate. And as forty.
Eve Of the ninety-six Senators are Re
publican, and as these Will be rein
forced on various propositions, as on
sugar, by the two Democratic Senators
from Louisiana, and probably on wool
by some of the Democratic Senators
from Colorado, Montana, and Oregon,
it is altogether likely that consider
able inroads may be made upon the
tariff revision bill as passed by the
House, ii, indeed, its passage may not
be prevented.
1t is quite possible that the Demo
cratic Senators may attempt to amend
the rules so as to give them arb trary
control as the Democratic Representa-
tives have Of the House; but under
the circumstances it is not very like
~ that they would be able to ac-
complish any such change in the rules.
IF, therefore, the Republican Sena
their guns, there is a fair prospect that
they can fight off the passage OF the
House tariff bill indefinitely. In fact.
with determined opposition Of forty
FIVE in a membership Of ninety-six,
with the addition of the two Louisiana
Senators certain, and the prospect of
getting other Democratic Senators
from the wool States, the fighting
chances Of the Republicans to defeat
this bill altogether during the life of
the present Congress is as fair as a
fighting party could ask. There is no
reason, therefore, for anybody to get
discouraged Just yet over the pro-
visions carried in the Wil5on-U Under
wood tariff bill being nade the law of
The land.

Buys Canning Outfits.

st. MartiGvliIe.-A special meeting
OF the school board was held recently
and among matters Of interest was
the purchase of canning outfits for
the four canning clubs recently estab-
hshed in the four principal schools of
the parish. Each child belonging to
the club will be instructed in the
planting and cultivation of one-tenth
of an acre of tomatoes, as well as
some Of the best vegetables. 1t is the
purpose of the board to invite the
parents of the pupils when the can
ming is in progress.
A committee has been appointed to
sell the land belonging to the agricul-
tural school and to purchase a ten
acre lot in Breaux Bridge where the
school will be located in the future
The reason for the change is that
the parish around Breaux Bridge is
divided into small farms, while about
st. Martinville there are large sugar
which prevent the getting
together of as many farmers as can
be had in the upper part of the parish.

STORAGE RULES REVISION.
New Orleans Terminal Lines, Whole
salers and Jobbers Had Repre-
sentatives at Meeting.

New Orleans.-A meeting Of all the
New Orleans terminal lines with the
leading wholesalers and jobbers was
held Saturday and the stupendous
task of revising, or perhaps changing
entirely, the storage rules was com.
menced, placing this port on the same
basis as Galveston.
The big dealers complain that the
storage charge arrangements in New
Orleans permits of brokers and lesser
business men, who are under little if
any expense of maintaining offices
competing with them on the same
basis as though the little fellows had
offices and warehouses of their own
New Orleans storage on general
merchandise is 1c per 100 pounds for
the first ten days and &c per 100
pounds for all succeeding ten days.
Cotton is allowed ten days free
time and certain classes of wood
stuffs four days free time. The deal.
ers VINO MAINTAIN big business houses
and pay heavy licenses contend that
the lesser dealers order freight into
the city and leave it in the railroad
sheds until they sell it to an advan.
tage, paying the small storage charge
and so saving the expense of operat,
ing warehouses.
The opponents Of the measure, as
we'll as most of the railroad freight
traffic men, are of the opinion that
the present storage arrangement is
contrary to the third section of the
act to regulate commerce and a move
ment will be inaugurated to put into
effect the same storage rules that OBJ
tain at Galveston and the other gulf

FRAUDS CHARGED IN RECLAMATION SERVICE
Report Presented to Congress BY Rep

The report sets forth the results of
the investigation into the Arizona ir-
rigation projects made last summer by
Representatives Galloway, Tensley
and Hanna, and urges an appropria-
ton of $500 to provide for a CON-
plete reorganization of the reclama-
ton service which is pronounced Who'll

$75,000,000 has been spent in Western
States in eleven years by the reclama-

from the officials in charge. The re-
