The two prisoners were then placed \u2018in charge of Detectives: O'Keefe and Sloan and conveyed to.the Windsor, where\u2019 rdoms - were provided on the fifth floor.\u201d Both prisoners were kept all day under strict surveillance.\u2019 r.Gaynor received a\u2019 telegram in the course of the afternoon from his wite, stating that she would .join him this evening.EEE at SEE a C4 Detective O'Keefe indigoantly - déied the statement \u201chat me Stectives ese disguised, that they.had been drinking at the bar of the teriac, \u2018dresèed as \u2018hayseeds,\u2019 or.tht thie\"alightest deception was loyedl towards the prison: ers.They häd cértain.warrants to execute and they.exécuted them in the or dinary manner.8 ing of sai Well, this was the suit I wore at tre time that I assisted at the arrest.That is all nonsense, of course, and there will be, to be sure, a lot of exaggeras tion about the case.\u201d The prisoners were shown the warrants; they made no resistance whatever, and came of their own accord, when they perceived thay we were armed with proper authority.\u201d No person can be allowed to see them, and they themselves have made a.special request that newspaper men be not introduced to them.FRAUD CHARGED.TEXT OF COMPLAINT ON WHICH GAYNOR AND GREEN WERE ARRESTED.The arrest of Col.John F.Gaynor and Captain Benjamin D.Green yesterday was effected on information and complaint of Mr.Marion Erwin, of Macon, Ga., where he 15 United States attorney for the Southern District.Mr.Erwin, acting for the government of the United States, appeared before Mr.Lafontaine, police magistrate, the extradition commissioner, on Wednesday, and secured a warrant under the Extradition Act.The main clauses of the complaint are as follows: \u20181.That heretofore to wit, on the first day of July, 1897, within the eastern division of the Southern District of Georgia, in the United States of America, Oberlin M.Carter being then and there an officer in the army of the United States, to wit, a captain in the eorps of engineers, and, as such officer, being in local charge for the United States of what is usually called the Savannah District, for improvement by the said United States of rivers and harbors, and as such officer being a public officer and having power, duty and discretion in the letting of contracts for the United States for the work of improving the rivers and harbors in said Savannah District;

of the Civic.Fedération for the settlement of labor disputes, has declared his opinion that the coal mine operators are in the wrong.When.a hundred, and \u2018fifty thousand men have grievances which they are willing to submit to arbitration, and are ready to risk theïr livelihdod in case it is refused, the .| operators étand on the wrong side of the \u201d fargüment.Mr.Mitchell,

distance it-ïs not easy to.decide on the merits of the disptte, but on the question: of.axbitration it.may be observed that no arbitration can be of much practical utility that is not binding and.cannot be enforced.(The legal machinery that would secure these objects i not in existence.Eve if arbitration were accepted in this case and a decision given, there is nothing to prevent a mine owner closing his mine or to compel a rillway to adopt the coal carrying rates ordered.Nor is there any way of making the workmen rest \u2018satisfied, should arbitration not result in giving them all they demand.This uncertainty in securing .cbedlence to the decisions of arbitrators, which are nearly always compromises, is a basic difficulty in the settlement of .labor disputes.The operators in this case say-the men are never satisfied, the men retort that \u2018the operators never keep their word.This mutual distrust is another great hindranhca to settlement by débitration.Meantime, both rides seem defermined to fight it owt.Coal has-alreedy ad- \u2018vanced fifty cents a ton in New York, and is expected to go much highet.: .Should.the strike extend to.the bituminous fields, as

their entire approval, \u2018the \u201cgole redron for branch banking \u2018is that |\u201cthe flow and counter-flow of money takes \u2018place dccording to the needs of business, \u2018with the least loss of time, with the « smallest amount of friction, and hence, \u201cwith the greatest profit.to the, bank, \u201cand, conrequently, the greatest ease to \u201cthe customer.\u2019 .Referring to the

and during {that time thére have been very few failures: - The vnly- important failures \u2018have been that of the Ayr Bank in 1792, of Glasgow Bank in 1878.These were it due to disrepasable

received and loans are made at esch branch, the \u2018branches pay out only.the notes of the parent bank, which are fedeemable at the head office.© Bo it js necessary to have real money.only in one place, instead of one hundred different places.Undoubtedly Scotland is the country where agriculture has réteived and still rééeives the greatest help from banks.As Mr.White has noted, .the branch bank adjoins the inglenook everywhere, and \u2018cash credits\u2019 are available for every farmer of good character.À cash credit is a permission extended by the bank to.a borrower to draw money as it is wanted, not exceeding a certain sum, paying interest for the time and Amount actually used.As a corollary to the cash credit system the banks allow interest on all deposits, and thus the habit of saving i stimulated among the people.\u2019 The present session of parliament closed \u201c-in a .tornado.of criticiem, as usual, on the part of the Opposition, toncerning the incresee of expenditure generally, but when sections of the country were particularizea even the great Liberal-Conservative party was dumb.It\" too\u201d often affected their own con stituents and it Would\u2019 never do in such casas to deprecate the loaves and .fishes.So.far as Montreal is concerned, finding that so much public money » being spent everywhere but in our port, there may be much occasion for growling, and | especially in the fact\u2019 that à million doF lags is to be spent to develop \u2018the \u2018terminal facilities of Quebec.In spite of all the parliamentary and other talk of Montreal being the national port mot a penny of public money has been spent here, and so for some time to come.we must continue our present\u2019 harbor dues, while Quebec may make better terms to attract commepce.This is a decided grievance, and while having no jealousy well, we may at least have the luxury of grumbling that we are not being ag treated fairly.At the samé time we must congratulate the Hon.Mr.Sutherland upon his care for the St.Lawrence route, The minister granted two m- terviews to .the shipping interests .of Montreal and took great interest in the proceedings, and these interests consider thalt.the improvements foreshadowed will help greatly towards making the St.| Lawrence more attractive bo ship own- ets.The \"aide té mavigétion include Bet: ter Nghts' and ¥gnale from the entrance of the St.Lawrence to Montreal and we at least and the country in general ought not grudge the expenditure.The bank statements are beginnivg to come\u2019 in daily\u201d now, and so fir, without exception, they .have been very cheerful reading.In the Banque Nationale statement we find an example of what we have Jong insisted upon, and.that is, that the banks whose circulation has nearly reached the limit: would better serve their \u2018purposé by \u2018an \u2018increase of capital than in trying to alter in this regard the.provisions of the Bank Act.The Banque Nationale has power to increase its paid-up capital to $2,000,000, and it has actually increased it from 81, 200,000 last year to $1,430,550.At the same tire it has increased its \u2018rest\u2019 from $275, 000 to $330,000, and its note circulation from 31,187,828 to $1,370,024, showing how the note eirculetion has kept pace with the increase of capital.The net profits, of the bank for the year were $164,003, or 10.88 percent, compared with $142,730 last year.| Dividends at the rate of six percent: per annum have been paid and $75,000 has been transferred to \u2018rest\u2019 account.The deposits bearing interest have increased from $3,709,384 to $3,978,- 511, and the current loans and discounts have expanded from\u2019 $5,838,606 to $6,627, to $8,040,042, compared with $7,951,770, and the total ageets immediately available amount to $1,037,028.The statement is not sensational in any respect, of the bank is steadily growing and that the sound and conservative policy of the management continues to result in public favor, and.profitable transactions.\u201cThe thirtieth annual statement of the Dominion \u2018Bañk is another of those to- -kens of abounding prosperity that are \u201cenough to make the mouths water\u201d of the majority of financial institutions.The profits for the year on a paid up capital of $2,500,000 have been $307,908, or 14.12 percent, and the feserve fund now equals.the capital: Ten peteent has been paid fo the shareholders, and over two hua.dred, thonsand- dollars has been.carried forward tothe eredit of profit and loss

the bills.discounted and cürrent advances have increased from $13,245,000 to $17,101,052.The total assets how amount to $28 900,571, compared with:225,623,245 last year, and \"of the\" twenty-eight

exception to a statement recently made by us, that, while there were more than 50,000 persons of Canadian biria residing | in Boston, the number of those classed as French-Canadians was less than 3,000.The writer in question etates that an estimate made some years ago gave the number of French-Cana- dians much larger than was given by ws, and he, therefore, thinks that we must be in error in not giving & sufficient credit to the French-Canadians.We.would say in reply that our figures were not estimates of our own, but were taken literally from the first volume on population of he Uniteu Étates census for the ger 1000.This gives the number of English-Canadians residing in the State of Massachusetts as 158,753; of French Canadians 134,416, making a total of 203,169.This constitutes the Jargest group of residents of Massachusetts of fo birth, exceeding even those from freland.\u201d who number in this census 249,916.But, while the number of English and French-Canadians in Massachusetts does not materially differ, there is a decided difference when one takes into account the parts of the state in which they reside.In the County of Suffolk, which includes Boston, Chelses and Winth throp, there were found to.be 56,203 Caradians.Of these, 53,010 were English and 3,253 rench.In Middlesex County there are more than twice as many French-Cana- dians as there are English dians, and in Bristol County; while there were 32,430 French-Canadians, there were only 5,665 English-Canadians.We wish to point out to our French-Canadian fiends shat, this is foi.a matter of eorizing, but of simply reproducing the refiarns as printed ig the United States census.-.HIS ONE CONDITION.(Brooklyn \u2018Eagle >) An amusing episode is going the rounds concerning President

hed settled fitty dollars of debt.On a careful examination he found that the bill was counterfeit.Of course, the problem is, who lost in the transaction ?Here is another, but along a different line,
