The surplus re stive aimo«t $5 000.000 anti the i excena above b*»ral requirement* n<»w stands , at sl6 707.350. a sum xrvater than the banks have rvfMirte.l since June 24th last, although In August the total was almost as high. As th*- deportt* during the week remained almost i stationary, the entire cash receipt a of the week went to swell the Idle cash In the banka, thus accounting for the unusual ex pansion. The liquidation that occurred on the st«<*k «-xrhange |h reflected in the deerease of 51.588.900 In kians The statement d«»ra n«»t halan«e. but there is no question that the , imsitloti of the banks is even stronger than re- j 1 |»>»rfed. f«»r Interior receipts Increased largely at the close of the week The gain came al- ( most entirely from the Interior, the exjHirts of specie to Europe the previous Saturday counterbalancing treasury receipts. The banks. !

But for litis generous donation from Mr. French it would have been impossible for any applicants to enter the su-b-appren ti< o <-lass before October Ist, owing- to the lack of founds for the care <>f a great er number of students than are ni.w in that class.

Physicians Speak Very Doubtfully About His Recovery—His Term Expires Tomorrow. Jackson. Misfl., January 14.—(Special.)— Governor McLaurin has been confined to room at the executive mansion for four days with pneumonia. The disease has affected both lungs and attending physicians regard the case as very seri ous. admitting that his chances for re covery are rather doubtful. His temper i attire today has been standing at 104 and Ihe patient expectorates much blood. This is the governor's third attack of the ’ disease during the past three years. As McLaurin's term of office expires Tues day at noon considerable change Is made necessary In the arrangements for tho inauguration, as he will not be able to bo • present. It had -be. n planned to have the Inaugural ceremonies In front of the 1 statehouse, Governor-Elect Longlno de livering his address from a rais.-d plat form. It is now probable that the cere -1 monies will take place in the hall of tho house of representatives. An excellent * military parade had been planned by Ad jutant General Henry, which is yet on 1 the programme and will be held unless ■ Governor McLaurin's condition grows worse during tho next twepty-four hours.

January 9.—A bill passed the upper house Os -the legislature this morning requiring express companies in towns of 1.900 people and over to deliver packages to consignees and keep their offices open from H a. m. to C o’clock p. m. The most important feature of the bill was the clause requiring the express com panies to execute receipts ami affix tho revenue stamps ther-to. This is thought to be the first time that state legislation on war revenue ques tions h'is bun attempted and the. ex press companies will probably test the Jaw in case it secures iinal passage. Governor-elect Longino urges tiie legis lature to decide at once whether the Noel elective judiciary amendnu nt voted on last fall rect iv. d the required two thirds majority. He has a large nuni 'i>. r of judiciary appointments to make immediat- iv after taking the office next Tuesday, aiul they will have to hold up till the question is decided.
