An additional appropriation of 8300,000 was made by the senate today for the stricken people of the French West Indies. In accordance with the recommendation of the president that $500, 000 be appropriated. The agricultural appropriation bill was paused and Mr. Stewart of Nevada,' In sup porting the rhlllpplne bill, warned the mi nority that no political gain would accrue to them from their attack on tho. army. The American people, he said, bad always tupported the army and always would. He declared that for us now to take down the American flag from the Philippines would be a -national disgrace. While discussing the proposed coinage of the sliver dollar for the Philippines Mr. Stewart declared that the silver question In this country was dead, at least for the present, on account of the large output of gold. ; Plana Are Comprehensive. So comprehensively laid were the plans of the War department yestsrday, even be fore the passage of the joint resolution providing for the Yellef of the volcano suf ferers, that there wae really very little re maining for the officials to do today.

A meeting of the executive com mittee of the Red Cross haa been called at the State department and it is probable that the suggestion will be made that private contribution be turned- over to this agency. An .original suggestion cams from a New York commission house In the shape of a letter proffering 1,000,000 pounds of rice at cost price and duty free to the government.- The owners explained that they were able to make this offer by reason of the fact that the rice Is still in bond.

Some Fact Made Known. It it often thought that grocers really have very little car regarding the food value of. the articles they tell, but the real facta are that grocery keepera of the right sort i ar extremely particular at to what they recommend. One Of th fraternity relates a tale, "The highest priced coffee Da te market I Introduced to my customers 'and used myself. I began to have bilious attacks and after a llttl observation attributed them directly to coffee. Every time I left oft drinking It I got better, but I felt the need ot a warm drink for breakfast. Along In '66 a wholesale grocer urged me to put In some Postum Food Coffee In my store, which I did with considerable misgiving, for, at that time, th now fa mous Poatum was not so well known. He urged me to try it myself, wmcn i did and was disgusted with the flat, tasteless beverage, so wa my wife.

Mr. Cullom presented the conference re port on the Cuban diplomatic and consular bill. He explained that the house con ferees bad agreed to the amendment mak ing the salary of the minister to the repub lic of Cuba 812,000 a year, but that they would not agree to the amendment provid ing 82,000 a year for the minister's house rent or for that making provision for an additional consul. The senate conferees therefore had yielded at to thote two amendments. The report was agreed to. Mr. Hoar Inquired what title was given to the Cuban government In the bill.

Superintendent McCarthy ot tb Pan- handl Railroad company waa asked thlt morning regarding hit theory tor th cause of the explosion- .He replied. that aa yet be had not decided what caused the ex plosion. Ths people about the place seem to think that the leaking naphtha caught Ore from a swltcf lamp or the Ore box of one ot the engine. They hold that the naphtha need not come In direct contact with a light, but that tumea rising from It would catch from a light even it It , wa high above where tb naphtha flowed. In stead ot burning upward the ignited fumes would follow th column down to the bate of tupply ot the running naphtha aad then th combustion would become complete. Mr. McCarthy tald he would Investigate ths matter thoroughly and would announce hia finding and decision In a few day. The officials of the Panhandle road fear a wore explosion than the one which wrought so much damage yesterday.

IS CONSIDERED Horace 'White Adrocatea the System, While Henry W. Yates ot Omaha gpeaka tn Opposition to It. KANSAS CITY, May 13. Bankers assocl atlona of Kansaa and Missouri and Okla homa and Indian Territory met In Joint convention here today and with many east ern financiers of not present, listened to addresses on varloue topics. Five hundred delegates attended the different sessions, which will be continued tomorrow. The different associations held separate meet ings In the forenoon, gathering tn Joint tension In . the afternoon and closing the day with a reception at Convention hall. At the morning meeting of the Missouri association Gordon Jonea of St. Joseph, president ot the state association, delivered his annual address, .during which h said that there was cause for felicitation In the fact that a fixed and certain standard Of value for a basis ot trading had been established. Mr. Jones eald that in order to remove the last vestige of doubt further legislative measures were contemplated. He was glad that coupled with this pur pose an effort wa being made to give the country an entirely new system of banking. Expansion Idea Popular. The expansion Idea," said President Jones, "has found favor In the minds of many able financiers, and the promoters of progressive banking are urging the passage of law giving the banking business mora extended privileges." Mr. Jones spoke in favor of an elastic currency and also dwelt on the advantages that would be gained by this part of the country, financially and otherwise, through irrigation of the arid lands of the west. Thomas B. Paton of New York, editor of th Banking Law Journal, delivered an address before the Mlssouriaba on "The Evolution of Banking Law." Mr. Paton spoke on the laws which gov ern the business dealings of bankers. He tho wed that the formation ot th law gov erning bills, notes, checks and the deal ings of bankers Is th result of a peculiar process. . It consists of a body of rule which hav been built up piecemeal by Judicial dectalona founded on " custom, It hat grown out of tb disputes of men. The procese originated in England and has con tinued in the various ' atatea since the American revolution. ' ; ; Conflict of State Lswi, .'.' . ; Mr. Paton pointed out many Instances of conflict of atate lawa and showed, as the result of the present condition of the law, made up to largely of Independent and an tagonistic state rules, that great losses are caueed to the mercantile and banking. com munity and that commercial transactlona he ten the atatea are hampered. Of late yeara the condition of the law governing' bills, notes and checks when used in Interstate deals has been improved y th enactment of th uniform negotiable strument law, which, up to date has been enacted In seventeen of the status and territories, besides the District of Colum bia. The Improvement and unification of th lawa upon other matters, not covered by the national instrument, which enter Into ths Interstate dealings of bankers and merchant mutt be hoped for In the course ot time, when all the atate legislators act In tinlform accord, and when all the Judges come to think alike. In the afternoon all the sessions met In Joint session in the Grand opera bouse This session was taken up with a discussion. of th topic, "Branch Banking." . Horaea White, editor of the New York Evening Post, who waa the first speaker, took a ttand la favor of branch banka. He said in part: Advantages of Branch Banklnar. There la a wide diversity of opinion In this country as to the advisability of branch banking and this diversity exluts largely among bankers themselves. The doctrinaires, the college professors, the economists, ar generally In favor of hrmncli bankina. They are not. however. so far as I know, In favor of forcing that system upon the national bankers against their will. fatriotMsm 1 not concernau in Brewed from carefully selected leave the brewery whiskey Is giving -me renewed strength j&W-& -'' te'llS'&h JS and prolonging my life.

The advantages of branch banking are briefly these: Other things being equal, two banks Joined, together are stronger man one, ana inree are stronger tnan two. For this reason tho Dubllc has more eon. fidence In th -union of hanks than the same number pr, banKs. taken separately.

Ranking system, and we are deHlrlous oC TiuVing them removed and the system strehglhened and Improved In, any manner hat good Judgment and wise experience will dictate. But it does not follow from this that we should con clude that our banking system Is so utterly bad that tho only remedy for the situutlon is Its entire -extinguishment and the crea tion In Its place of another system. This is what I believe would result from the passage -of a law which would establish among us the mpnurcMlcal British and con tinental syrtema of ' large central banks with -numerous' branches. Two features of the bill reported by the banking and currency committee of the house ireedom from capital and from taxa tion would seem to settle the question against the Independent banks. The sys tem as proposed would destroy them. Judgotl by the actual work performed and service, rendered,, the conclusion -was inevitable that the American system of banking, notwithstanding Its admitted im perfections its' short comings and its weak nesses, which In time may all be remedied. Is superior jo any system of banking in the world. - This so-called reform In hanking Is pro posed and urged by vsM-meanlng men, but men who In almost every case will be found to be guided solely by their environments and, not by any experience- obtained along the lines ct .tilts et,renui)u- life to which Is due the existence of our American bank- IHK pjniil. r- -.
