And many other painful and serious BANK RETURNS REVEAL A LOSS Statement ff Association Shows Difference Between the Reports and Estimates NEW YORK, March 19. — The Financier this week says: The feature of the official statement of the New York Associated Banks last week jvas the wide discrepancy between the cash changes as shown by the bank returns and those indicated by the estimates which were based on the traceable movements of money during the week. The official state- ments showed an unaccountable loss of $2,690,300 cash, while the estimates called for a gain of about this sum, or $2,743,000. Loans were increased, but not to the extent looked for, the amount of gain being $1,519,800. The statement did not show a good balance, the sum of loss of cash, less the increase in loans, being greater by §915,000 than the decrease in deposits. This failure of the return to balance was probably due to the bank merger operations. The daily average of clearings was $185,000,000, an increase of $25,000,000 compared with the previous week, reflecting more active speculation on the Stock Exchange and possibly showing the loans due to the collapse in the cot- ton deal. The clearings reported on Saturday, representing Friday’s busi- ness, were $190,475,248, or above the average. One incident of the week was the merger of the Central National by the Citizens’, which became effective Mon- da)\n —_———— ’Mobilists Plan Endurance Test. NEW YORK, March 19.—Plans are being gradually perfected for the great autemobile hill climbing contest this summer up Mount Washington in the ‘White Mountains. The main difficulty has been to get permission to use the mountain road for such a purpose, Ne- gotiations to this end have practically been closed.

In connection with the voluntary re- tirement of Representative S| th from his seat in the House of Repre- sentatives it is recalled that Secretary James Wilson of the Agricultural De- partment relinquished a seat in the House to a contestant in order that the bill to make General Grant a full gen- eral on the retired list might be passed. A report had been made from the com- mittee and the case was pending on the last day of the Congress. A bill for General Grant was brought in, but the Democrats, who were in the majority, insisted that there should be a vote on the contest against Wilson. The Re- publicans were filibustering against such a vote being taken, but Mr. Wil- gon got up and stated that he did not want to stand in the way of the Grant bill, and asked that the contestant, B. T. Frederick, be seated. This was done about two hours before the Congress expired March 4, 1885, was then unanimously passed. While Wilson voluntarily retired, it was for a special purpose and not because he | felt that his election was void.—Wash- ington Star. ———— The average the Truns-Balkan province of Russia this season is $14. from the hunters exvect 300 per cent.

BERLIN, March 19.—Emperor Wil- liam and King Alfonso figured as life | savers in a story told in Das Kleine Journal. According to the paper the | two monarchs were cruising about the | harbor of Vigo on the gunboat Vas-| | co Nunez de Balbea when, owing to the | awkward maneuvering of a fishing | steamer named the Meliton, the two | vessels came into collision. A year-old boy fell between the vessels | and would inevitably have been crushed I but for the intervention of the mon- | arche, who personally dragged him to | the gunboat.

I am not sur- prifled that Gibraltar is impregnable.” my HITEL ST, PR At seven o'clock to-morrow evening, in the glare and glitter of thirteen thou- sand electric lights, the new Hotel St, Francis will open to the public. Its con- struction has occupied the larger part of the past two years and the completed edifice stands a monument to the enter- prise of San Franecisco capitalists. It will become a strong factor in the com- mercial life of this city and territory, oftering facilities and attractions to Eastern tourists heretofore denied them. In the United States there is no hotel more modern, more handsomely fur- nished or more beautiful in interior and exterior than the St. Francis, compris- ing. as it does, the incorporation of every modern idea of arrangement and man- agement. Its manager, Mr. Allan Pol- | myriads of cut Stals 1n electro- g R g lak, has spent one year abroad and in the East gathering information and sugges- tions from the leading hotels of . the world. That his time was well spent an inspection of the St. Francis will reveal, as it combines under its roof more of the luxuries and conveniences of life than any hotel in America. Its position is ideal, fropting one of the city's lov liest parks, its upper stories command- ing a beautiful panoramic view of the bay and environments. It contains 450 guest rooms, and its public rooms, com- prising lounging, dining and ladies’ re- ception rooms, grill, library, restaurant, cafe and -ladies’ parlors, are each tri- umphs of architectural skill and artistic orpamentation. The lounging room is massive and impressive. Twelve green marble monolith columns, ctrryinfi a golden celling thirty feet high, "elal ratel rated, recalls the Roman ar- chitecture. The panels of the walls are red, repeating the color of rugs-and the furniture upholstery. At_the right of the entrance is the office and at the left the marble lace, surmounted by Keith's famous painting of Mount Tam- al) -The restaurant, 150x50, flanked with rows of fluted Tuscan columns, is the most beafitiful room of the hotel. Its treatment is of 3 many reflecting. e lights, render it brilliant in the extreme. 0PN T0-HORRON The cafe is veritably a palm garden. Its walls are paneled in English oak and the celling gilded ornamental beams. It is carried by eight fluted Ionic col- | umns with giided ~ caps. Soft green | rugs on the marble fioor complete the garden effect. “The windows are draped | with green silk velour. ! The library, one of the newest fea- | tures of hotel furnishing, contains 4000 volumes in dark mahogany ocases. The walls are of leather panels, the ceiling is pichly ornamented with colored panels | in turquoise and gold. Deep green rugs carpet the floor.

I also had a numbness in my legs, %o irstead of filling up on medicines I decided to 80 to the Electro-Chemic Institute for a care- ful examination to find out really what my trouble was.
