After having continued quietly for about two weeks the run during the day was the means of crowding the {bank with several hundred excited de- positors who failed to reach the pa ing teller’s window. One woman was knocked down and trampled on in the rush, but it is not believed that her injuries will prove dangerous. It is charged that postal cards have been sent to depositors of the hank advising the withdrawal of depi and that the telephone had been used as a means of giving the same ad- vice. The bank officials say ‘that they have secured some of these postal cards and will endeavor to dis- cover the author of them and, when found, bring criminal actions. Offers of over 32,000,000 in cash have bLeen made by Chicago and New York banks and other local institutions have promised assistance, but all these proifers have been declined with thanks. The bank has $2,500,000 in cash on hand and nearly §8,700,000 in securities that can immediately be converted into cash, b s other sets to care for iis ,100,000 depos- its, and the officers express the ut- most confidence in the outcome.

T0 HANDLE REVENUES MINISTER DAWSON E:EFECTS TEN- TATIVE AGREEMENT WITH SANTO DOMINGO. g DEBTORS WILL GET PARE OF CUSTOMS £ PRESIDENT TO NAME'COLLECTOR WITH CON(ENT OF DOMINI- CAN GOVERNMENT. Washington, March 27.—Renewed interest in Santo Dominze aifairs was manifested in official circles during the day upon the receipt by the state department of a cablegram from Min- ister Dawson . indicating that he had ment a tentative agreement temporarily at least, would adjust sat- isfactorily the fiscal conditions of the island government. While the precise nature of the negotiations between Minister Dawson and the Dominican officials cannot be learned it is understood that it con- templates the placing of the fiscal af- fairs ol \the island government, so- far as the collection of revenues is con- cerned, in the hands of a commis- sioner to be designated by President Roosevelt with the consent of the Do- minican government. The revenucs of the island would be collected by this commissioner, a sufficient per- centage of them being placed to the credit of the Dominican government to pay current expenses and the re- mainder deposited as a fund to pay the foreign claims of the d gov- ernment at such time as a distribu- tion of the fund may bt agreed upon by the creditor governments. It is intimated strongly that President Rooscvelt would receive such a propo- sition with favor if it should Dbe known to be satisfactory to the Santo Domingo government, although in en- tering into the agreement, if it ac- tually has been made, Minister Daw- son acted without = specific instruc- tions from this government ‘and en- tirely upon his own initial ative.

St. Petersburg, March 27.—A- dis- patch from General Linevitch says: “A Russian patrol has been fired upon by Japanese cavalry and infan- try occupying the village of Puljuschu. “On March 23 a detachment of Rus- slan cavalry drove back a force of Japanese cavalry approaching the sta- tion of Shuaningausa. The same day several Japanese squadrons attacked a small Russian mounted detachment on the extreme Russian left, about four miles from the station of -Nan- shentai. Russian cavalry reinforce- Inents were sent there and forced the Japanese, who refused to face a charge, back to Nanshentai, their re- treat-being covered by infantry.” SORES ‘Wheeling, W. Va., May 28, 1903. Some years ago while at work, I fell | overa truck and severely injured both of my shins. My blood became poisoned- as a result, and the doctor told me I would have running sores for life, and that if they were healed up the result would be fatal. Under this discouraging report I left off their treatment and re- sorted to the use of S. S. S. Its effects were prompt and gratifying. It took only a short while for the medicine to en- tirely cure up the sores, and I am not dead as the doctors intimated, nor have the sores ever broke out again. Some 12 years have elapsed since what I have de- scribed occurred. Having been sosignally benefitted by itsuse I can heartily recom- mend it as the one great blood purifier. JouN W. FUNDIS.

Agents in Various Lines of Business ~ Throng Ceiestial Empire. Berlin, March 27.—A letter from Peking, published by the National Zel- tung, gives the results of an inquiry into Japanese political activity in China. The writer says Japanese agents in various lines of business are penetrating into China and set- tling in every important place in the empire, devoting themselves to their calling in life, whether priest, editor, teacher or trader, and to winning peacefully the good will of the Chi- nese for Japanese. The method most. often used is ‘the founding of news- papers printed in the Chinese lan- guage and friendly to Japanese aims. These try to influence the provincial governors and Peking government to employ Japanese teachers in' schools and especially to place Japanese mili- tary instructors in charge of the Chi- nese troops. In addition Japanese Buddhist monks have begun to arrive n China on semi-political, semi-relig- ious errands. They seek closer rela- tions with the Chinese Buddlist or- ganizations and have acquired control of several monasteries over which the Japanese flag is floated. The monks also established Buddhist chapels and organized congregations. Their declared aim is to unite the-various Buddhist sects in China. The Bud- dhist monasteries in China have al- ready placed themselves under the protection of the Japanese flag and have become branches of the great Ben Yuan Thue monastery of Tokio. New lIdea.
