Excess of Loans Over De- posits Is Largest Reported Since July 1. — NEW YORK, Oct. %4.—The Financler says: The most surprising feature of the I . Ia"u officlal statement of the New York As-| | sociated Banks last week was the almost | | unprecedentedly small change of only | |$3000 in the cash reserve, thers being a | !loss of this amount. This seems quite| | tnexplicable when the fact is considered | that the traceable movements of money | during the week showed an estimated loss | of 33,834,000 of cash. On the inter-bank | movement alone the loss was 35,155,000, | d this included the transfer through e sub-treasury of $800,000 to Baltimore and $1,275,00 to New Orleans. { It is possible that the average system may partly sccount for the difference be- | tween the estimated and the actual loss of cash, the moviment to Baltimore, through the sub-t and directly | from the banks h part of the week, but that to ! ns was continuous, each day | ers to this point.

It makes the scalp feel fresh and it allays that itching which dandruff will cause. Newbro's Herpicide effectively cures dandruff, as it destroys the germ that causes it. The same germ causes hair to fall out, and later baldness; in killing it, Herpicide stops falling hair and prevents baldness. It is also an ideal hair dress- ing, for it lends an aristocratic charm to 7| the hair that is quite distinctive. Sold by l&!flln{.dnl‘ .

Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Oct. 24—Miss Ada Rehan is not at all pleased with the condition of the affairs of the late Augustin Daly’s es- tate. She has an interest in the estate under the will of the theatrical manager and #s dissatisfied %0 such an extent with the accounts of the executors—Mary D. Daly, the widow; Joseph F. Daly, a brother, and Richard Dorney—that she has made numerous objections to them through her counsel, Wetmore & Jenner. Her objections involve a large portion of the residuary estate, and these will have to be passed upon by a referee, which will necessarily bring about a protracted hearing and thus delay the distribution of the estate in the hands of the executors, which néw amounts to $184,194. Several Roman Catholic institutions are interest- ed in the estate under-the will. ‘When Daly died on June 7, 1899, his af- fairs were so much involved that it was not thought there would be sufficlent to pay all claims against the estate, but the executors now have in their hands for disposal $184,000, having received $552,067 and disbursed $367,892. Miss Rehan enters an objection because the executors have not sold and converted into cash the contracts for the American rights in “The Geisha,” *The Clrcus Girl,” “The Runaway Girl,” “The Greek “San Toy” and “The Country of an appraised value of $10,000, which she says is not a full and fair val- uation. She also makes an objection be- cause the executors have not disposed of consols amounting in value to £11,000 and because they have not disposed of the in- terest of the estate in Daly’s Theater, London. Miss Rehan has an action pending against the executors to recover $6000 as the balance of salary due her for several months prior to the death of Daly. e GUAYAQUIL, Oct, 24—General Plaza yes- terday reassumed the presidency of Ecuador, having returned from visiting his mother, who was reported to be dying at Bahia, province of Manabi, during which time Vice Preeident Baquirizo exercised the executive power.

PARIS, Oct. 24.—It s belleved here that in view of the terms of the late Russo- Austrian note to Turkey providing that the proposed commission of control, which is to assist Turkey in carrying out the reforms in Macedonia, s to be composed of Austrian and Russian representatives, the Sultan may defer accepting the plan until he has ascertained the attitude of Great Britain, France and other powers Interested in the Orient, and it is said that these powers are not likely to favor the reform plan upless they are repre- sented upon the commission. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 24.—The scheme of the powers for the amelioration of affairs in Macedonla was submitted to the Porte yesterday. It has for its guid- ing principle the control and surveillance over all branches of the administration ot the disturbed provinces by Austria and Russia for a period of two years. The proposals include the appointment of one Austrian and one Russian assessor to be attached to the staff of Hilma Pasha, the Inspector general, with a corps of assistants, secretaries and interpreters, whose duties it will be to have control over all the acts of the provincial author- itles. A European in the Turkish service is to be appointed top command the gend- assisted by an ade- officers acquainted with the language of the country, and, if necessary, both Aus- trian and Russian non-commissioned of- ficers. A couple of further important proposals, ‘which will be bitterly oppgsed by the Sul. tan, provide for the establishment of com- munal autonomy and the rectification of the present communal boundaries, with the view to the better distribution of the various communities and the creation of spheres—Bulgarian, Albanian, Servian, etc.—that shall be more homogeneous in religion. Other points of the scheme deal with the relief of refugees, the rebuilding of vil- lages, schools and churches, the disband- ment of the irregular troops and the pro- hibition of the employment of Bashi- Bazouks. Opposition to the whole scheme is ex- pected on the part of the Porte, but the Austrian and Russian Embassadors de- mand the adoption of the plan with the least possible delay. It is belleved some of the other powers may object to the appointment of exclu- sively Austrian and Russian assessors and demand that the commission of control be given a more International character. —_———— PITTSBURG, Oct. 24.—A telegram was re- celved at the headquarters of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers to-day announcing a satisfactory settlement at Birmingham, Ala.. of the plate mill scale for the southern planis of the Republic Iron and Steel Company, and also of the Tennesses Coal and Iron and Railroad Company.
