A favorable development in inilruuil affairs was the consent of the Canadian fnclflu to luiept the Interstate Commerce commission's ileelHlon as to dUTircntlals This ie- moves the most notions cause of disturbance among the railroads In the northwest Ilall- roail earnings continue to show satisfactory gains , and there Is everj prospect of a lar o tonnagei for months tx > come Itlg crops , an assured export demand , and the steady re vlval of Industrj anil trade will Inevitably afford the roads pknlj of tralllc in both directions Kuropo appears to show more interest in out Investments , but the le- moval of nelvcrteoiltilon | on the other side- Is likely to be a mattel of slow giowth , which the development of cordial Intel na- tlonal itl.itlons will of course piomoto In tending puichasers of stocks will do well to dlpcrlmtnate herci'fter , for soneof the best of them nre aliendy high and many of the Indifferent ones are helling fully up to their Intrinsic value \\hlle on the surface. Wall stiret Is at pic-pent mainly concerned about normal mat ters and the generil rebound attendant upon the return to peaceful condition" , jet In the higher branches of finance It Is reall/ed that the war lias left a legacy of new condi tions which mu't DOII develop fresh en- te-rpilse-s and opeu up attr.icllvc Investments Until In1 ( ondltlo.iii of pi in c > aie llnally determined by the Paris conference , It Is Impossible to say with distinct certainty what new territory or territorial control will finally full Into our hands Hut , so fai as respects the West Indian colonies of Spain , there Is no room for question about our early permanent occupancy of I'orto Hico and there ) Is as little question that , nt least for several jenrs , Cuba will bo governed uniUi oir : auspices and -jrotee ted under our guar antees , perhaps It Is equally probable tint llnally that. Islmi I will become a possession of the United State's At prvbont. both these Islands nre , commercially and Industrially , In a states of ruin Largo tracts of fertile country will have to be rehabilitated , towns nnd villages will have to be rebuilt , In brief It may be said that one-half of the pro- cluctlvo output of Cuba will have to be re placed noverned under American auspices , therc will bo n wide Introduction of public Impicivements , such ns the repair or cou nt ! uctlon of rnllroicls , replacement of coasting vessels , the cleansing of unhealthy localities the construction of toads and the Installation of the many kinds of "modern Improvements" which Americans carry wher- tnoi they go The numerous owners of ruined estates will bo In the market as sellers of their properties or borrowers of money for the purpose of ri-stoilng them These wants K will call for a very lirge aggregate of capital , which will come almost entirely from this country. That sum will exceed the value of the pioperty destroyed by the Insurrec tion nnd thc > war , for the * enterprise of Americans will quickly carry the develop ment of the- Island to a higher point limn It has hitherto reached.

The peace protocol Is less explicit , than In the case of the Antilles , as to the disposal to bet inado of the Philippines but , slnco that document wa.s signed , public opinion In this country has Income to widespread and gen eral In favor of their retention by the United States that It seems to be assumed as a foregone conclusion that the preside-ill will Instruct our commissioners to the Paris con ference ! to shape their demands accordingly. This probability Is materially strengthened by the fact that the responsible class of l-'llllplnos are formally nnd urgently peti tioning that the whole group of islands shall be placed under the ownership of the United States. This Is an aigument which not only appeals directly to our government but also , upon International grounds , must carry n very Important Influence In the counsels of the peace commission It Is also a matter of some slgnltlconce ) In this connection that the c/ar has deferred the nsbcmhllng of the International pence congress until one month after the conclusion of our iwaco with Spain In the face of the pacific nature of the czar'B proclamation , It Is hardly supposablc that lie would Interfere * with the conclusions of the ) 1'arls conferencennd if he stands aloof no other Intervention Is likely to be at tempted tlut moro so as the1 China question Kevins to have reached a stage of adjustment betwe > en England , normally nnd Russia , In which Franco Is likely , In her present perplexed - ploxed position , to acquiesce And ns the czar has declared that In the proposed In ternational congress , all then accomplished settlements should bo accepted as fliulltled , U Is to bo presumed that there would be no subsequent challenging of the final terms we had inado with Spain Under those condi tions , there Is an Important probability , that there may be Impending In the Philippines a development of American enterprise simi lar to that which awaits us In the West In dies The revival of enterprise In the Kast- orn archipelago would , however , be vastly moru Important than that In the Antilles , for the population Is four times larger , the territory Is Immensely greater , and the nat- ual resources are Immi-osurably richer The foregoing factors embrace possibilities which may , within a fovv weeks attract dee-p Interest In Wall street , appealing not only to the Investing public but to the speculative Interest on the stock exchange' .

The Financier Bays- The surplus reserves of the Now York as sociated banks nre now lower than nt any time slnco the panic of 18'J3 Two > eara ago this month the surplus depressed to Fome- thliiR like J'OOO.OOO. ' but call money then was at prohibitive figures , and Imports of Kold followed Imnutllatel ) Now , confronted by an Interior demand which has averaged in past seasons over J30.000.000 , with the treasury ohsorblng additional millions each week on bond pa > ments and with business expanding In over ) direction money U loan ing nt 4 per cent , although the fact of the matter Is that the banks have little , If an ) money to loan. The excess reserve of the New York banks Is In the hands of a feu Institutions The majority of the banks arc loaned up to am bojond the required limit The statement for the current wtx-ks Is about what was anticipated The treasur ) took \ \ 1.000,000 from the banks on bond account , and the loss to the Interior was be tween one and two millions. The clearing hnuso report makes the lots of cash abo.ii $13 000,000 The decrease In deposits re > acnn ilia unusualy large number of J20.0S7.7CO which was duo to the cash contraction noted ami the fulling off of } G 77S.700 In loans. I In to bo noted that hail the banks fallen In outstanding loans , the nurplus reserve would ] invu pinctlcally dlHappcarcd. The present Innticml situation Is anomalous The cetin * ry never had eo much money , but It Is BO llMrlbtited It IB unavailable for use , mid t Is needed now more than ever. The treas ury , It Is true , by anticipating Interest and naturlt > on bonds , Is exhausting every re source to restore to circulation Its Idle uncls , but the effects of this policy arc not et apparent As the circumstances , which lavu brought about nn unprecedented con- lltlon are xpt to continue for gome time , additional Imports arc certain The banks ip to this time have discouraged the Idea of n stringency In money , but unless some relief Is speedily obtained. It Is dllllcult to see how present rates can long prevail The iromtscd Increase ; In bank circulation Is slow In materializing and will probably come as has been the case In past years after the real demand for It has passed. As mat ers stand today a continued contraction In oans with resultant higher quotations seems nov liable. I.ciniloii MOIICJ MlirUft.

In splto of the orders Issued by the coun cil the L street viaduct has , not been closed yet and there Is no telling when Its en trances will be boarded up. Considerable pressure Is being brought to bear to leave the structure open on account of the In convenience It will cause. Nearly every one who travels over the bridge has no ticed Its condition , but on account of the long way around It Is hoped that It will not be necessary to put a stop to traffic Some Interested persons have asserted that the closing of the bridge will endanger the city's chances of compelling the rail roads to pay for the cost of repairs The case of the Eleventh street viaduct In Omaha Is cited and It may ho possible that the bridge will not be closed until the work of repairing commences.

Letter carriers and others engaged In the handling of mall at this point are very anxious for the city council to take some action In regard to the numbering of the houses. It has been several years since the houses were nuinbeicd and many new residences have- been erected , which have been numbered at Imp-linratcl or not at all Those carrying mall In the suburbs nnd It a dllllcult matter to locate residents and for this reason the postmaster requested the council to take steps tow aid lemimberlng all of the houses In the city. It Is thought that there Is now n house numbering or dinance on the statute books , but upon this point the city attorney Is not quite clear The matter Is to ho looked up and If there Is no ordinance one will be drafted and Introduced. When new numbers aie put on the city engineer will have charge of the matter In order to assure accuracy. SU-llllliK ( III- , | , . , , , , . The sidewalks along Railroad avenue and Madison street , In the Second ward , are In a dangerous condition and need repairing From the Half Way house to Madison street and from .Madison to Fifteenth street Forty- flve planks are missing. In many places the dirt has been washed from beneath the missing planks , and should a person make a misstep serious injuries might be the re sult. Councilman Ilarrett has been trying for some time to have these walks repaired nnd It Is thought that the work will be clone some time this week. Barrett Is In favor of having all of the walks wired so that the planks cannot be stolen. He thinks that this additional ex pense would more than pay for Itself In a short time. About thr Slcl4-\wil k fonli-MPt. Councilman A. H. Kelly takes exceptions to statements made In The Hce regarding the letting of the lumber contract to a party not the lowest bidder. In this connection The Bee stated that the contract last year amounted to between $3,000 and J 1,000 Kelly asserts that this Is wrong , saying that the total was between $1,100 and $1,200. Last year the lumber was furnished by J. B. \Vatklns and his books show that his bills amounted to the sums first mentioned. These bills , however , Included material used In the construction of sidewalks. The award made the other night by the council was for lumber to be used for general purposes , such as crosswalks , election booths , etc. , sidewalk lumber not being considered.

Brady , until recently gov ernment censor at Tampa , was In St. Louis last week nnd related borne of his experience to a Glohc-Dcniocrat man. "Of course , If 1 had my way of It , " said the captain , "I would ba\o allowed the hoys to send out all the news they wanted to. News of what was Rome ; on In Tampa kept filtering out of Washington , and while It was true that It was gome-times a day or two late. It was generally pretty reliable. The knowledge of this made the men at Tampa harder to handle nnd made my task that much more difficult But I was under strict Instructions nnd all that 1 could do was to follow orders to the letter. The correspond ents of all the reputable papcis undcrstooil this , but the men who worked for the Ir responsible sheets cnubcd me consldeiahlc trouble at times. The only punishment that I could Indict upon the men of this typo waste to deny them the use of the wires for a week or so. This generally proved effective , nnd when they found that It was almost Impos sible to evade mo they generally g.uo up In dlBgtibt. "At one tlmo the men at Tampa appealed to General Greely , but that olllcer sup ported mo and their kick amounted tn noth ing. As a matter of fact , the true state of affairs In Tampa was not known As late as two days after the licet had sailed to San tiago I received telegrams from the manag ing editors of some of the best papers In the country asking mo to corroborate the fttory At Tampa I was In charge of the stations at Key West , Tampa Buy hotel , at whleh I made my headcuarters | , nnd n slatlon at Jacksonville My assistants were all capa ble men and with their aid I nas able to look after all the points In interritory. . "Kvery correspondent vv.is rcqulreel to furnish mo with a copy of his paper dally , and If I found that ho and his paper had printed anything with a Tampa date line that had not parsed under my eyes he was promptly susitnded Of course , tly at tempted all bets of subterfuges The ktory which happened In print some time 0.1:0 : In which a correspondent telegraphed his pa per that the newspaper fleet had mailed and then a few hours Inter ne > nt another mes sage In which ho ordered the omission of the word newspaper , Is true When he handed mo the second mehaagc I handed him back his llrst one , telling him that 'all llects looked alike to me * The look of chugrln that passed over his face when he- saw that ho had been outwitted was most laughable ] and I did not have any more trouble with that man. "One of the best stories of this kind , nnd one which has not yet been In print , Is that of a fc moleeorrespondent for an I'u- ropcan paper She hail arrnngeil in a let ter whleh never reached Its destination that the words 'Senel mo six more jubilee books should bo Interpreted ns notifying the paper that the Meet hail sailed. The letter was in tercepted In hei letter she had made re- murks about the fresh young censor who thought that ho could bottle up nil thu news In I'lorlda Two days later , when she como to mo to Illo her telegram , I told her about the letter and In all my experience I have never cccn a woman so nonplussed as hhe was. She was suspended for seven days "Another correspondent attempted to bribe an express messenger to mall a letter after ho got up Into Georgia. The letter reached us within an hour and ho was promptly served with a notice that hit ) right to use the wires won cut ott ( or a week. At DRY GOODS. H. E. Smith & Go.
