The surplus reserve was the highest of the year, which fact is important because of the probability that the payment of the Panama canal money will, now that the United States has secured a clear title to the proper- ty, most likely soon be made. Loans | were expanding $1,136,000, which jamount was smaller than was expect- ed. The expansion probably reflects part of the corporation loans which | | were effected in the previous week.

There were only five votes against it. The second Panama resolution was adopted. There were only two dis- senting votes. The meeting then ad- journed. This completes the transfer of the canal to the United States. WASHINGTON, April 28.—The State Department has been notified of the conclusion in Paris of the con- tract for the sale to the United States | Government by the Panama Canal Company of all its franchises and property on the isthmus. The money for the canal company will be paid over by the Secretary of the Treasury, it is understood. Secretary Hay him- self will pay to the state of Panama the $10,000,000 to which it has be- come entitled. This payment will be made in Washington to Senor Arose- mena, the newly appointed Minister from Panama, as soon as the Govern- ment of that state authorizes him by cable to accept the money. The au- thorities in Panama have become clamorous for this payment, as the money is needed to defray certain ex- penses already incurred in connection with the creation of the new state. The large fleet of United States warships which assembled on both coasts of the isthmus of Panama soon after the revolution has been gradu- ally reduced by the departure of ships for other points until now but two remain to safeguard the interests of the United States in that quarter. The cruiser Boston is at Panama and the cruiser Newark at Colon. The monitor Wyoming and the tor- pedo-boat destroyers Preble and Paul Jones left Panama yesterday for Aca- pulco on their way to Pechilinque Bay, where they will remain for sev- eral days and then proceed to San Francisco. —_———— POLICE COMMISSION WILL APPOINT NEW CAPTAIN The Civil Service Commission yes- terday sent to the Police Commission- ers the name of Joseph Burnett as the next man eligible for the position of | captain’ of police.” Burnett. is now | a lieutenant at the Central station. In the recent examinations held for applicants for the position of captain on the police force he ranked second. Captain Duke, who ranked first in the examinations, was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Captain George Birdsall of the Cen- tral station.

ISS MARGARET PHELPS, No. 4 W. Fourth street, Cincinnati, 0., Orator Friday Chautauqua Club, writes: “I consider Peruna the finest rem- edy for catarrh on the market. A few months ago I caught a cold from get- ting my feet wet and being exposed to the weather. This cold settled on my lungs and caused them to be sore and irritated, and every time I coughed it would hurt me, and I raised a lot of phlegm. My breath was bad, my ap- petite poor and my general condition run down. I began taking Peruna and in a short time I was restored to perfect | health.” — Miss Margaret Phelps. % HERALD PRAISES FOR PE-RU-NA (Neglected Colds and Spring Catarrh Make Invalids of More Women at This Season Than All Other Diseases Combined.)

A few doses of Peruna at the begin- ning of a cold will change the entirs course of events.

Peruna absolutely prevents catarrh from fastening itself upon any part of the organism. Cure a Cold Before It Develops Into Catarrh. Miss Alice O'Neill, 312 Adams street, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: “I cannot say too much in favor of Peruna. About a year ago I was completely worn- out, had a serious cold and a hard cough which seemed to be in danger of affect- ing my lungs. If my system had been in a strong- er condition it would have been much easier to throw off this cold, but I could not seem to get any re- lief until I took Peruna, and I must say that it did the work thoroughly. Within a week I could see a wonderful improve- ment and T took Peruna four weeks and am in perfect health now."—Miss Alice O'Neill.

Stephens Chief Emergency Surgeon Mayor Schmitz made the definite an- nouncement yesterday that he had fully made up his mind to appoint a successor to Dr. George F. Brackett, chief emergency surgeon, who is un- der fire for having accepted a fee while acting in his official capacity, and to that end Dr. Brackett will be com- pelled to resign the position. In all probability Dr. John I. Ste- phens, at one time acting chief emer- gency surgeon during Brackett's ab- sence in the East, will be named for the place. Dr. C. F. Millar, at present one of the assistant surgeons, is a strong applicant for the place, and Dr. J. Copley Stinson, a member of the Health Board, would prefer the salaried position to the honorary one he now oc- cupies. ‘While both Millar and Stinson are highly thought of by the Mayor, his Honor will appoint Stephens as chief surgeon in accordance with previous plans, unless something should inter- vene in the meantime to cause him to change his mind. In his announced intention of asking Dr. Brackett for his resignation Mayor Schmitz says that he has not yet made up-his mind to find Brackett guilty of | any dishonest act in connection with | the disclosures made by Mortimer Fleishhacker and Mrs. Bessie Ames. “I will give Dr. Brackett's attorney an opportunity Monday morning at 11 o'clock to explain certain alleged discrepancies in the testimony of the accusing witnesses,” said the Mayor. “Then I will have Dr. Ward, president | of the Health Board, and Dr. Brackett in my office for the purpose of going over the testimony and the details con- nected therewith. I will then prepare my findings in the premises and make them public. I will say that the rules. of the Health Board must be obeyed by all of its subordinates, and it looks to me that one or two forced resigna- tions will have a salutary effect in stopping further violations thereof.” Dr. Stephens, the prospective ap- pointee to Brackett’s place, conducted PREPARING TROUBLE FOR ADMIRAL EVANS Friends of a Court-Martialed Pay- master Allege That He Was Persecuted. WASHINGTON, April 23.—Admiral Evans, who is coming home on the bat- tleship Kentucky from command of the Asiatic station, may run into a mess of trouble being prepared by Pay- master Harry E. Bisco. The record of the court-martial of Bisco. charged with neglect in the supervision of ner-* tain stores, has been receivedin Wash- ington. It was to-day examined by an attorney said to have been retained by certain friends and relatives of Bisco, who believe him to have been perse- cuted by *Admiral Evans. Paymaster Bisco and Rear Admiral Evans have not enjoyed good relations since the former was a member of a court which tried Assistant Paymaster Nicholson for having assaulted the German Consul at Chefu, China. The court recommended a sentence which Rear Admiral Evans considered inade- quate, and he said so in one of the most violent castigations ever uttered by the reviewing authority of court- martial. Paymaster Bisco appealed from his harsh language, but Admiral Evans was sustained by the Secretary of the Navy and President Roosevelt. Pay- master Bisco was later court-martialed, and Bisco’s friends have stated that the court-martial was ordered by Rear Admiral Evans, although the court of inquiry recommended only the court- martial of a yeoman who had served under Paymaster Bisco. Bisco has just been ordered home from the Asiatic station. His father- in-law, L. R. Hammersley of New York, has been extremely active in his be- half. ————— SAN JOSE, April 23.—At the meeting of the San Jose Grange to-day it was stated that the ravages of the new insect, thrip, on the fruit trees bad ceased.

Brackett went East to study the operations of emergency hospitals, but it is said that he did not bring back a single report thereon. A few days after Brackett assumed charge of the hospitals here Stephens resigned, be- cause he could not get along with the first named. In all probability Dr. Brackett's resignation will be accepted at next Thursday’s meeting of the Health Board, which will then appoint Stephens to the vacanow . Ends a Melancholy Life.
