The reason for this is understood to be the presence of Japanese warships in European ports. The Japanese press which for a time was restrained by the government, has again adopted a belig- erent attitude. To Alevlate Macedonian Distress.

The latter amount is all on deposit in this country under the law which requires all foreign insurance companies to de posit with the insurance com missioner of th* particular state in which it does business a certain amount of bonds ap portioned to the business done, to se cure its poilcy holders. “ The amount of United States bonds thus held by foreign individuals,” says the register, “ is so insignificant that it may be said that the National credit is entirely upheld by domestic mon e y .” “ An annual report of the domestic holdings shows that the consols of 1903 is the popular one with the national banks. Out of a total of $506,463,350 the banks have on deposit with the treasurer of the United States as securi ty for circulating notes and for deposits the sum of $458,448,100, leaving to be account«! for $48,025,250.
