EXPERIMENTAL FKEE 31 AIL. Inspection Will In* .Made I nder Ap nrntkriafioil ol ?lM\0(X? l)\ Last i'oiurress for Purpose. Washington, March 19.?The post-, otiice department today announced! that at an early date an inspector will be sent to Belton and Honea Path j to decide which of these towns shall; .. - i have the experimental free mail delivery which is to be inaugurated in a! number of small towns in the coun-i irv at an early date. Congress last year appropriated I $100,000 for the purpose of making) experiments with free mail delivery { in small towns. Representative Aiken; at once asked that at least one of these experiments be made in his and he was uromised that this would be done. The department found, however, that there were about eight towns in the third district that are about equal in postal receipts and population and as it was hard to make a choice from the data at hand it yas decided to send an inspector who will examine into con1" ~" ot-i/4 "W r>n oq Pa fVi unions at DCllUU aiiu J.JLVUVI* - ~ ^ with a view of deciding which shall get the service. It is understood that there will be but one carrier in the tO\vn where the experiment is to be made, and that the postmaster will have the naming of the carrier. P has already been announced that these experiments will be conducted at Lancaster, Branchville and Woodruff. j nrDWJY mpiciQi v A AVKFfk'. I Karlsruhe, Germany, March 19.? Two months after her'trial flight, the German military dirigible of the Zep.pelin type, known as "Substitute ZL/' is a wreck. Sh-s was broken in two this afternoon while attempting a ' landing after a twenty-four hours flight. The start was made iron Dos, a village of Baden, where the oalloon was stationed. The pilots intended to return to Bos but finally decided, on account of the gusty wind which reached a velocity of 45 miles an hour, to anchor at Karlsruhe. They had not yet finished the work of anchoring when a terrific gust buckled the forward half of the dirigible. Another gust lifted the airship and a detachment of soldiers, who were clinging to the ropes, were! forced to release their hold. The j aluminum frames began to break j away and the whole structure collaps- j ed, the nose of the dirigible break-1 ing off. The "Substitute ZL" made a trial1 flight on January 16, and on two occasions afterwards made very satisfactory endurance flights. The dirigible was accepted February 15.

Him to Treat Tiiem for Tuberculosis. New York, March 19.?Four hundred women and children hemmed in the automobile of Dr. Friedmann this evening begging him to treat them: for tuberculosis. The crowd surrounded the physician outside the hospital for deformities and joint j diseases and a squad of police reserves had to be call-ed to make a path for him to the hospital door. Physicians from all parts of the 1'nited States earlier in the day gath-! ered at Mount Sinai to watch Dr.' Friedmann administer his vaccine,! hut were refused admission. The only1 other medical men at the clinic i were three representatives of the government at whose request other physicians were excluded. The hospital authorities explained that the government physicians feared that prema-; ture reports of the clinic would be I J -L-i! i.T ?r\f_ maae ueiore mey yixscmcu iuch j ficial report to tlie government. Dr. Friedman, it is said, had not made any request to have the others ex'cludecf. Sixteen patients were treated at; Mount Sinai hospital. After the demonstration, Dr. John F. Anderson, one of the government physicians left for Washington, where it is said Sur- j geon deorge Blue, of the United I States public health and marine hospital service will issue a bulletin F'riday regarding the Friedmann vac * cine and results of its use on pai-; fents here. Dr. William I. Sirovich State super-! intendent of hospitals said that, he; ias recommended to Gov. Sulzer that If Dr. Freidmann's claim of the value of his vaccine is borne out by results the German physician be grant ed a special license by the board of Tegents. Dr. Friedmann plans to treat 30 ^ases of bone and knee tuberculosis tomorrow, mainly among children, at t the hospital for deformities and joint j diseases. . WILSON HOLDS CONFERENCES. Senate, House and Executive came Toiretlier.?01 her Conferences Follow. Washington, March 19.?The house and the senate and the president came together informally today for the first time on the "preliminaries" of tariff revision. A short conference between the president and Chairman i Simmons, of the senate finance committee, followed by a longer conferpnpp between a senate sub-committee and Chairman Underwood, of the house ways and means committee, laid the ground work for a series of three cornered arguments that are to follow before the tariff bills are pre' J ?V*r\ rtrvno-raca !

The senate committee will begin consideration of the complete revisj ion bill as soon as it is passed upon by the democratic caucus in the house and without waiting for th? i l house to act upon it. The sentiment I in both houses has developed strongly in favor of a single tariff bill, embracing the whole revision, instead of a separate bill for each schedule. Should the house adopt this plan,, senate leaders declare the tariff bill will hp naRsed in the senate. Representative Pay^e of New York, ranking republican of the ways and means committee, said today that while there would be a minority report on the tariff bill presented by the republican members, there would be not time to present a republican tariff measure, as the republicans ?:ii ? l'rfn rV*n Will IlUC UC KsCLL ICU lutu mc to vote on the democratic bill until that measure is ready to be reported. The question of the time the new tariff law shall go into effect has not been taken up but the opinion was expressed that it would take ef feet immediately upon approval.

The banks now operating in Egypt : al*e numerous and without exception ! very prosperous, says Moody's Maga | zine. They are of comparatively reI cent formation, as previous to 1856 the banking business was quite without : | organization or efficient direction and I was entirely in the hands of charaffs (money changers). The charaffs reaped large and illegitimate profits, as the volume of business handled was enormous and j necessitated the ^exchange of great * ' - ?j ' ~ ~~ ~ nf ! quanines 01 goia ana tumo ui I different nation?, a large class of the bill brokers traveled continuously between the various towns buying and selling foreign exchange bills. During the time of Mehamet-Ali, who was Khedive of Egypt from 1799 to ; 1841, it was the prevailing custom for merchants who wished to send money to the interior of the country or to Syria to deposit it at the moudirich I (perfecturs), whence it was transi mitted through government officials, ! while among merchants of the same ! town or vicinity bills of exchange were safe-ly handed and conditions were safeguarded through their intimate knowledge of each other by constant intercours-e. The orginal example of what may j ho railed the hesrinnine of the olan I real banking business in Egypt is found in the scheme of an American by the name of Alexanian, who, in 1848, was granted by the Khedive Abbas Pasha the privilege of utilizing in banking operations the capital which for many years had lain idle +Vio Vion^c. nf tho ' "Roir? el IWai (fl All UUiAUO W i. WiiV J-/V*u V* A'A v department of the government having custody of the contested inheritances and patrimony of incompetent persons) upon a basis of 10 per cent anniial revenue. The banking operations for the use of these funds were limited to, first advances to the Khedive and to the j government; second, loans to agriculturists; third, discounts of country and foreign bills of exchange to assist commerce. But this plan met with the opposition of the Ulema (the professors of law and religion) who protested against the interest because it offended their interpretation of the paragraph on intergrity and honesty in the Koran, by which they -explain the meaning of the salary thus: "It is forbidden to loan money at interest because the metal is man ufactured by God and God does not accept interest, but it is allowed to loan money on mortgages on any kind of property under the express condition that the borrower shall lose the use of that property during the time of the loan ;nd the sole use of the property shall belong for that time to the lender." j The unscruplous fellahs took advantage of this interpretation of an assumed religious principle and subverted its meaning to suit their own interests and they make void their loans and refused to pay them. Alexanian, thus rendered unable to fulfil his engagements, was imprisoned and did not regain his liberty until released by the succeeding Khedive. Said Pasha, who also restored to him a part of his fortune. The most powerful of all the banking intstitutions in Egypt & the National j Bank of Esmt. established June, 25, | w" " ' I 1S96. It is the only depository bank j of the government, also of the Sudan and of the international courts, known as the Mixed Tribunals. It controls | the privelege of the issue of paper j money for fifty years, from 1898 to ; 1948, which is secured by the de- j posit of 50 per cent of the issue in | gold coin in its vaults and 50 per cent j in securities, whose value is taken at par and which must be acceptable to the government.
