Rank Deposits Decrease. For only the second time in eighteen years the . IMcember half yearly return of Irish bank deposits shows a decrease, and not. since 1885 has 'there been auch a decline recorded aa In the December half of last year. . The ' decrease amounts to $(.400,000, while bank - note circulation Is down by tt.VWO In 1S04. It Is evident that the extraordinary depression In tha Irish cattle trade Is making Itself felt In the -banks. On the other hand there la a a advance of 12,000,000 in aavlnga bank deposits, which go on growing even through the most depressed Industrial seasons. Tho rate of Inereane has. however, fallen seri ously since ISM. when It waa $4,000,000, an Increase almost equal to the total addi tions for the last two yeara.

(Special Cablegram to Tho Bee.) The prices of Cornish tin stands higher than ever and the rise haa caused a wave of excitement throughout corn- wall. Ten years ago the price of Cornish tin was K8t a ton, now it Is being estreny bought for f 1.000. The price has Jumped up some 1100 per ton In the last month without any specu lative manipulation, and mines that were unquotable a few months ago are now being bought . wholesale, not only locally, but In London and Paris. There have been various mysterious rushes for cer tain shares, which make experts suspect that syndicates are at work. The Industry the oldest in England has been practically moribund for many yeara. but the sudden rise In the value of tin Is causing a spasmodic anxiety to open up all the disused workings sgain. Indeed, Cornwall has not been In such a state of bustle for many years, and the excitement haa loosened the miners' tongues. This proves how great it must be, for tho Cornlshman la characteristically distrustful and silent. ! On a bold and desolste spur of the coast Is the famous Levant mine, which descends to a depth of Son fathoms and runs up be neath the sea for more than a mile. One of the officials there ssld; . "How much higher the price of Cornish tin Is likely to, go It Is impossible to say." There sre signs that the advance will not only continued,' but be maintained. . "Most of the mines that were closed down ten years ago, because of the poor price for tin, would be well worth opening up sgaln. but during the long period of depression from which Cornish mining has been suffering the great bulk of our mlnera went to South Africa and Australia, where they now esrn good wages by digging gold. There la barely sufficient skilled labor in Cornwall to work the. big mines to their full capacity, without .being called upon to open up the hundreds of disused shafts. "Last year the total of the world's pro duction of tin was S7.000 tons. About 7.000 tons came from Cornwall," he contlned, "The great bulk comes from the Straits Set tlements, and the explanation given for tha present high price of the ore is that tho supply from the esst has not kept pace with the world's demands. The United States alone Is bidding twelve months ahead for the entire output from the Straits Settlements. ; "There should be a great revival of the ancient prosperity of the Cornish tin In dustry, for Cornish tin Is the finest-In tile world and the country Is streaked with It.' from Dartmoor-to I -end's End. The old delusion thst - c mines cannot be profitably worked will soon be a thing of tha past." A well known American- engineer, who lately visited tho Carnbrea district, said that wore the Cornish mining fields situa ted In tha United States they would bo ono or the busiest and wealthiest spots on tho map. EGYPT. FEARS THE SULTAN Oa Party Waa Id Seine) Carta Harder la Order la Hold Tarlci. a ! CAIRO, JunO . (Special Cablegram ta tho Bee.) It is rumored that Mukhtar Pasha, the" Imperial Ottoman commis sioner, has been summoned to Constanti nople by the Sultan, who Is said to be de sirous of conferring with his excellency on the future relations of Turkey and Egypt What will come after Tabah la now the question of the moment In Egypt. In the Opinion . of the majority Tabah Is only an incident In a complex question which began when the Ixmdon congress of 1841, by removing southern Syria from Egyptian Jurisdiction, opened to the Turks or other enemies ot Egypt the road which delivered Egypt to the soldiers of Cambyoe In ancient times. The Irade of 1891 stripped such morsels aa Nuellah, Da bah. El Wsdlg and tho fortress of Akabah from Egypt's territory. British diplomatists at that time scarcely realised that those places were the key ot Egyptian defense. : A rar-aeeing party in Egypt advocates the occupation of Akabah as the only lasting solution. ' It has, It Is true, be longed to Turkey for fourteen yeara, but prior to 1SSS it belonged to Egypt for forty- seven years and more. The uaa of force, this party contends, would be Justified, for though Turkey must in the present Instance yield to International pressure, and retire from Tabah, the Ottoman theory of suzerainty over the peninsula will remain to cause future trouble aa the natural expansion of Turkey and Egypt drawa them nearer to the point of conflict. So long a Akabah and other fortresses of Sinai remain Ottoman stronghold Egypt Is perpetually exposed to danger. GYPSIES FLOCK TO FRANCE Serleaa Fight at Foatalaebleaa In with Halves. PARIS. June I.

If It had not been for the ab sorbing Interest in the marriage of the king Of Spain and Princess Bna of Batten berg, Spain would have sooner faced Its cabinet crisis. For this country Is In con siderable difficulties about Its new tariff, which was Intended to come into operation on July 1 next, but which is being as sailed with opposition on all sides. This revised tariff was drawn up for the Cortes by what waa supposed to be a mixed com mittee, but which was chiefly composed of government officials, high protectionists and representatives of Industries that are, or wish to be, protected. The few free traders and representatives of consuming Interests on the committee had no Influence and practically all the witneases who were examined were pro tectionists. As a natural consequence the revised tariff provides for large Increases of duties on Imports of all foreign indus trial commodities and agricultural products, but It also levies high duties on tho raw materials of Spanish Industries and on such Items as chemicals snd machinery, which Spain does not yet produce, though It hopes to do so. As examples of tha new tariff coal may be taken, on which the duty remains at 2.60 pesetas per ton, while the duty on coke and coal dust is raised to 4 pesetas. The duty on cement, which Spain doea not and cannot make, la raised from 20 to 60 pesetas. The tax on linen yams, which Spain may want to, but does not yet produce, are raised from 70 to 100 per cent above present duties, and similar Jute yarns are raised 70 per cent. AH protests against the proposed new duties hsd to be lodged before the end of April, but tha opposition csmpslgn la still being carried on. , Fear Hlaher Cast at l.lvlag. The democratic papers throughout ths country have taken tho tariff to pieces, and show how It must inevitably greatly In crease tho cost of living to both the work ing and the middle classes. They have shown, too. that exorbitant duties are lm posed, on the products of' Industries that never have succeeded nor never can sue oeed in 'Spain. - Latterly tha chambers, of commerce and associations of merchants have taken up the tale, ana in addressing the government have contended that not only will the tariff Increase the cost, of living in Spsin.' but-It will spoil Its for etgn trade. Thla contention a In harmony with the representations when tho . gov ernment has receved from various foreign governments. . ' . The Spanish government assumed that the revised statute could be fixed as basis for negotiating treaties of commerce to take the place of the conventions based upon the Swiss-Spanish treaty of 1S86 which expires at. tha end of June, but Germany and Swltserland have Intimated that if the revised tariff to come Into force on July 1 la to be the basis. of nego tiations they will, on their pert, have to adopt tsrlff reprisals on the products of the' mines and the soil, which are prac. tlcaliy the only exports of Spain. . These Intimations have very much disturbed the protectionist ministry at Madrid, snd their latest move has been to ask the several powers to lodge their objections to the new tsrlff before a committee which the Cortes has appointed to consider, and, If deemed necessary, to modify the proposed new duties. Moreover, tha government has announced that It has power to alter the Schedules of the revised tariff as late aa during ths whole of the month of June, and can eyen alter the alterations that the committee makes. The present situation la therefore, very perplexing, for no one knows what the revised tariff may turn out to' be before the old tariff expiree on June X). In the meanwhile, however, the Madrid govern ment Is assiduously pursuing or Inviting negotiation with foreign governments for either new treaties of commerce or some modus vlvendl until tha tariff matters are definitely arranged to replace the conven tions now drawing to a close. As these negotiations sre not In the hsnds of the tariff Junta, but of -a special committee. It Is possible to foresee not very harmoni ous results. MEDIEVAL TOURNEY REVIVED Knights Eacaaed . la Armor Itacea as la Days af , Tadors. Break LONDON. June (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) London 'has Just witnessed a brilliant revival of the old-fashioned Joust and tourney in connection with the naval and military tournament. In none of the dlsplaya of modern times has such an elaborate and gorgeous spec tacle been attempted as li e great pageant of ' the preaent tournament, "Tilting In Tudor Times." During Its presentation tha arena was one blase of brilliant, mov ing color. First, rsme the lord of tha tournament, with his: banner and heralds, tha latter In their glld-bralded tunica, mak ing a brave show. After the lord presi dent had taken hta aeat on the rrimeon covered data, the standards of the four competing knighta were paraded, snd then followed the knight marshal and his depu ties, squires, pages snd escorts. The four knighta. mounted and encaaed from head to foot In armor, riding beneath silken canopies held by. sttendanta In gor ge ua raiment, then entered, and were fol lowed each by a number of, armed men. A tour of ths arena having been mads, tha lord of the tournament signified his pleas ure that ths Jousting should begin. The trumpeters sounded a fanfare, and two knights from opposite end of the lists, rode at full gallop, with lances couched, to meet each other. Lances were' shivered on steel breastplate or hel met amid ths eheera of the adherents of ths successful knight, and whan tha winner of tha bout had been declared, ths re maining knighta entered tho combat. OLD MANUSCRIPT IS FOUND Ceater af Chrlstlaa tlvlllsatloa la Egypt Adds ta Kaswledgc af Last Gospels. CAIRO, June 9. (Special Cablegram ta The Bee.) Once more Dr, Orenfell and Dr. Hunt have made valuable dis coveries in the mounds of Oxyrhyncue, quite equal In Importance to those which so fascinated the world of scholarship nine years ago. The Egyptian exploration fund has dona wonders already, especially in reference to those so-cailed -"Loga the sayings of our Lord" one of which at least has a strange and unique value. In 1897, out of a mass of papyri dug out of the ruins of Oxyrhyncus, which was One of the chief early Christian centers of Cairo, waa extracted a fragment con taining eight sayings of the Lord. What exactly they constituted haa been much ' debated by scholars since. Ha mack main tains that they come from The lost "Gos pel of the Egyptians;" others suggest that they are excerpts from a primitive gospel probably written In Hebrew In the first instance; while others, again, speak of them as though they formed part of. a sort of original nucleua of the four can onical gospels. Most ot the eight "say ings" added little or nothing to the Bib lical lore of the world, but the one num bered five was of first rate Interest and importance a strange text In which Christ ys, "Raise the stone and thou Shalt find Me; cleave the wood and there am I." To these "sayings" Is now added a fresh nd tilghly interesting contribution. Amongst the newest finds ot Drs. Orenfell and Hunt Is a vellum leaf, forty-five lines In all, from the manuscript of a lost gos pel. The subject, sccording to the latest details, is a visit of Jesus, with His dis ciples, to tiie Temple of Jerusalem, and an encounter with a Pharisee. The Pharl- aee rebukes Christ and Ilia followers be cause they have omitted the necessary and proper ceremon'nl of purification be fore entering the holy place. Christ replies with a discourse on the difference between the external and Internal purity. This, of course. Is not dissimilar from the gospels of Matthew -and Luke. In the new frag ment there are several words not found In the New Testsment, while the writer displays a considerable familiarity with Jewish customs, snd also with the topog raphy of the Temple of Jerusalem. The nature and value of the gospel from which thla passage comes, however, is not known. nor can more be said on tha subject until the fresh Oxyrhyncus papyri are published next year. This is not the only valuable element In the new discoveries. There la a fragment from Pindar a novel form of composition for the Theban bard, for it consists of odes of supplication or thanksgiving, addressed to a god, snd not a paean, such as those with which all are familiar, In honor of some athletic victor. There is also a psrt of a tragedy on the subect of 'hypelpyle, supposed to be by Euripides; and. strangely enough, a part of a new history of Greece has been un earthed, which. It la hoped, will throw fresh light on the Peloponneslan war. Some of these manuscripts, dating from tha second or third century, but thrown away, apparently. In the fifth century, belonged, It la clear, to an owner ot a library, and amongst them are fragments of Sappho and Bacchylides. ... ..... - - ENA'S,. ACT IS.

(Speclsl Tele- gram.) Whatever is to be done in relation to securing an inspection of meat products that will satiafy the public and allay agita tion must be done quickly. Is the story of today's proceedings before the house com mittee on agricuture. Judge S. H. Cowan of Texaa, a representa tive of the live stock interests, in his pre sentation of the case today before tho committee, while doubting the constitution ality of the Beverldge amendment, waived it off by the statement that It was not a question of constitutionally that was moat needed, bnt it was a question of having the subject once and for all settled along right lines. He said the question of coit was secondary and subordinate to the main proposition that meat inapectlon should be such as to command the confidence of tha consumer, both at home and abroad. Plan for Mcetlaaj Coat. Incident to his presentation of the live stock interests, he made a suggestion as to the matter of the cost of the inspection which seems to find consldersble favor, not only with the committee, but with many members of congress as well. That sugges tion wss that the agricultural appropriation Wll, now In conference, shall carry a suffi cient amount to cover the eost of Inspec tion during the fiscal year, say C.000,000, and then provide In the bill that If at any time the appropriation falls short of tha eost of Inspection tho secretary of agricul ture shall have the power to fix fees and collect the cost of the said inspection from the packers direct. Thin, it is believed, will Interest the stock raisers and others to see to It that the committee on agriculture would make the appropriation sufficient in amount to cover the cost of Inspection. There Is a decided sentiment in congress against leaving to the Department of Agriculture ths right to put In sny number of Inspectors at the same time it haa tho. right to fix fees. If It. should be decided that the government should psy the cost of the Inspection then, members insist, ' eong" sg should fix the rata per head. , Secretary ftars LeeUk,loa la Nseded. Senator Millard today received a letter from the aecretary of agriculture in reply to a request that the secretary Would an nounce publicly that Inspection of meat products for the export trade Is being made under law. Secretary Wllso: in ' his reply to the request Of Senator Millard saya: "We have been Inspecting meats for ex port carefully and sufficiently, but we have not had Jurisdiction of all Interstate meat shipments. The only statement that will quiet the minds of the people and help cattlu growers and packers snd bankers and all those who are appealing to you by telegraph Is the enactment of thorough going legislation.. When thst is done I can make a atatement, pointing to It and assuring the people of the thoroughness of inspection under pending . legislation." Nebraska Reaolatlona Are Presented. Judge Klnkald 'today, by direction ot the Nebraska Stock Growers' association which was In session at Alliance yesterday, presented the resolutions adopted In rela tion to the Investigation and report ot con ditions surrounding packing house products snd Its recommendations to members of tha delegation today, and later filed the resolu tions in the form of a petition. The reso lutions are as follows, after a preamble: Realising that speedy action Is neceaaarv if further damage is to be averted, hereby urge our national congress and especially the Nebraska members thereof to naas such legislation as will improve and strengthen government Inspection of all packing house meat producta and that will prescribe and enforce such sanitary regulatlona for Dacklng houses as will leave no room for criticism ot tneir metnoaa. We as cattle growers recommend tho pending Beverldge Dill be carefully con sldered and revised before being enacted Into law. Wa aa stock growers especially object to that provision of the bill which would levy the cost of animal and meat Inspection upon the packers. Government inspection of food products is for the pro. tection of the whole nation and the cost should fall equally upon all who are bene fited. The coat as provided In the Bever ldge bill will eventually fall upon the live stock growers and permit more tribute to be levied upon an industry already de creased. The resolutions are signed by Elmer Lowe. . president, and E. M. Searle, jr., secretary. Keamedys Resolntloa la Endorsed P.
