structed at an expense of millions of
dollars by the fifth Duke of Portland,
who is alleged to have been T. C.
Druee, were the scene tonight of a
brilliant ball, given in honor of King
Alfonso and Queen Victoria of Spain,
who are gunst of the present Duke.
The gorgeous suite of apartments,
given so much publicity by the sensa
tional' allegations brought out in the
Druoe trial, was thronged by members
of Kngland's highest nobility, all eager
to get a glimpse of the famous rooms
where the misanthropical Duke, lured
ty a physical ailment which in his lat
ter years made him hilarious, passed
so much of his time, shut off from all
mankind, and from which, according
to testimony offered in the famous case,
he was wont to emerge by a secret pas
sage, pot as the proud Duke of Port
land, but as Mr. Druce, a London
tradesman.
Electric Lights in Caverns.
The whole suite of chambers and the
passages communicating with them,
which have not been opened before for
a Score of years, were dazzllngly Illum
inated with electric lights, and the
representatives of royalty and the no
bility sought eagerly for evidence to
bear out the sensational statements
made in the trial which is now a
toplr of such keen interest In the high
est as well as the lowest circles of
society. But It may well be supposed
that such evidences. If any exist, were
not presented for Inspection by the
present Duke, who feels keenly the
attack mau upon his right to the title
and the vast estates left by his uncle.

Eleventh Nicholas I. Regiment, on
charges of mutiny and insubordination,

The fact that the banks are holding t .1
for the time being has led to the more or
less definite report that the heads of the
larger banks are desirous of obtaining
some sort of assurance from Washington
that the money paid for ont here for the
purchase of the new securities will be lft
on deposit In local institutions.
The currency premium varied between
1 and 2 during most of today's nego
tiations, with some transactions as high
as 3 per cent. With the price of cur
rency ruling at these figures It was
said the bankers could not see their way
clear to purchase the certificates of in
debtedness under any other arrangement
than the retention of the purchase money
on deposit In this city. The money ship
ments from New York to the ...terlor have
been quite heavy recently and the banks
here are anxious to continue this means
of assistance to the general financial situ
ation. The advance In the price c currency
today is attributed to the demands from
the Interior for payroll purposes. The
calls for cash came yesterday from New
England but today they were more gen
eral and came in from nearly every" sec
tion of the country. The approach of the
week-end always enlivens the demand for
ready money.
There has been absolutely no rganlza
tlon yet of a syndicate to buy treasury
certificates forthcoming from the asso
ciated banks of this city, such as has been
Intimated since Monday, unless it be i
the fact that several largo loans were
called in Oday. The revival of ti.e re
ports today of the possibility of a favor
able outcome to the negotiation;, for
American loan In France with V e treas
ury certificates as a basis has strength
ened the rumor of an associated bid from
New York banl.ers. the Government se
curities when obtained to be so arranged
that they may be considered as t bilateral
for gold loans under the rules of the Bank
of France.
Some of the New York banks are said
to he holding off In the matter of sub
scriptions so as to give the small invest
ors with hoarded savings a chance to put
In their claims and thus draw Into circula
tion the money for which the certificates
were largely designed. Nearly all of the
larger banks here have received orders
from customers to make purchases of
certificates for their account. These
purchases are to be made out of deposits
already in hand, however, and are not
bringing new money Into the market.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. Offers for
the new Panama bonds and the one

come to the Treasury today, but no
official announcement was made re
tarding the amount. Reports were re
ceived today by telegram from United
States Assistant Treasurers at New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston,
Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, New Or

who has been called to the bedside of
his father. Deputy Controller Kane Is
receiving daily reports from bank ex
aminers and others regarding the condi
tion of National banks. The number of
failures thus far has been fess than a
dozen, which compares very favorably
with conditions in 1893, when over 160
institutions closed their doors. The fear
which has prevailed in some quarters
that the creation of banks with capital
between J25.000 and $60,000. which was
first authorized In 1900, would prove a
source of weakness to the banking sys
tem In periods of strain has not up to
this time been Justified. The small banks
appear to be holding their own as well
as the larger ones, and the number of
suspensions of either class has been a
negliglblo quantity.

LONDON, Nov. 20. The London pa
pers today take a gloomier vfew of the
financial situation In the United States,
and fears are expressed that the Bank
of England will raise the rate of dis
count today to 8 per cent. The Trib
une in an editorial article says:
"President Roosevelt has come to the
last and most severe test of his. public
career. His recent speeches show that
his heart is In tthe right place; that he
knows the true center of mischief, and
that he does not lack the courage to
expose it. What le now wanted Is
prompt and determined application of
positive statesmanship to the known
facts of the case."

Twenty Italians peddlers. clerks anil

Only Mr. Malato and two other mem
bers of the executive committee of the
society know who are the secret agents
of its "police department." These men
have the names of the 11 Black Hand

It is probable that the Chicago society
will be the main branch of a national
movement to rid the country of the Itali

been using the Black Hand symbol to
terrify their victims. Letters and tele
grams have been received from influ
ential Italians In New York and other
cities asking the object of the Chicago

operate in the work.
The White Hand police will be as secret
as the bands that it la sought to stamp
out. From the many Italian societies in
Chicago that have Joined the White Hand
movement nearly 500 applications for
places as "secret agents" were received.
Only a few trusted men were chosen,
however, and 20 of these were selected
for Immediate duty.

What is Catarrh?
A Dangerous Disease Affecting
Thousands of People.
It is an inflammation of the mucous
membrane, and may affect the nose,
hroat, stomach, bowels, or bladder.
NASAL CATARRH, is most common,
often coming on so gradually that it
has a firm hold before it is suspected.
Catarrh is aggravated by colds, but
depends on impure blood. When
chronic it is liable to develop into con
sumption. It is therefore very serious.
The true remedy for catarrh is Hood's
Sarsaparilla, because it purifies the
blood, and removes the cause, effecting
radical and permanent cures.
Begin treatment at once with
