to three factors, however, the su.nmsrl

that the establishment of free commer

marks a new era In the material devel

Indication of the success likely to be

the number of Filipino depositor has
increased to i47. as compared with 4927
on June . 19. and now constitutes
more than 5 per cent of the depositors.
"At the close of the fiscal year there
were 2sa banks In operation, an Increase
of 41 over the previous year, and a net
increase Is shown of 4330 depositors and
of EW.2S7 pesos In deposits.
The Interest paid to depositors on
ciosed accounts during the year amount
ed to K34 pesos, and the amount of ac
crued Interest placed to the credit of
individual depositors Juno 30. 1910. was
23.274 pesos.
"The sum of TS.S9S pesos Interest was
received from Investments In bonds and
mortgages and on time deposits In other
banks, all made under the direction of
,ne postal savings bank Investment board.
This board Is now placing real ftte
loans at t and W per cent and will be
able to loan upon thla clasa of security
the full amount permitted by law. The
interest for the n.-cal y"-,1"1 on In
vestments already made. Including loans
authorised In July, will amount to ...
pesos, and with the additional Interest
on Investments to be made later will
probably amount to ptioi. The
estimated amount of Interest at 2H per
cent to be paid to depositors, based upon
the present rate of Increase, will be
about Jc.Oue pesos.
"In view of the steady Increase In
revenues, the chief of the postal savings
hank recommends that the Interest rate
to depositors for the fiscal year 1911 be
Increased to 1 per cent."

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26. (Special.)
The Board of Supervisors at ita meet
ing tomorrow -will consider an appropri
ation for the purpose of securing a
golden token to be presented to Mme.
Lulea Tetraxzlnl on behalf of the citl
sens of San Francisco In return for her
wondrous treat to 250,000 of Its Inhabi
tants who heard her in the open air
concert Christmas eve.
From every part of the city hundreds
have petitioned the Mayor and Board
for such action. The matter will be
presented to the Board by Mayor Mc
Carthy, who today declared there is
every reason for the city to show Its ap
preciation and no legal or sentimental
reason for not using municipal funds for
the purpose.
Tetraxzlnl was tearfully happy over
the unexpected magnitude of her "little
party" and the tremendous reception ac
corded her. She could only express her
pleasure In little sighs of happiness, and
fragmentary bits of English.
When the diva awakened yesterday
morning her first thought waa for her
voice and she was delighted beyond
measure to find, upon trying a few notes,
that it had suffered no injury from con
tact with the night air.
Tetrazzlnl's rooms in the Palace Ho
tel were banked with flowers sent by
admiring friends yesterday. There were
also many presents. Including a brass
bed for Chihuahua, her diminutive dog.
"I cannot teU you how happy I am."
said Tetraxxinl, through an Interpreter,
to night. "I expected there might $e a
few thousand people come to hear me
sing on the street, but I never, never ex
pected such a great audience. Ton see,
I am my mascot, sure. It was grand.
I did not sing in the street. No, no:
there was nothing of the street. It was
like a grand, magnificent theater and the
people were lovely."
Tetrazxlnl will leave Wednesday for
Portland, where she will sing on De
cember 30. She will give six concerts
