Bank Capital.

II has been recently stated that the amount
of capital employed by private bankers of tho
state Of New York equals the sum used by
both the national banks and tho banks organ
lied under state laws. Tho attention of
Comptroller Knox being called to this state.
ment yesterday, he said that such statement
was a great error; that the capital Of the no
tional banks was greater than thot of the
private bankers, and that the united capital
of the state and national banks was consider
ably moro than twice that Of the private
bankers Of the state Of New York, while the
individual deposits were more than seven
times greater; that all the private bankers
were required up to Nov. 30, 1852, to make
revenue of the amount Of their
capital and deposits for purposes of
taxation, and on page LOG of his last report
the comptroller gives a statement showing
the amount Of capital and deposits Of the
state banks, private banks, and savings banks
separately for each state and principal city of
tho union. The total amount of capital of
the state banks In the state of Now York at
that date was more than $29.000,000, and
their deposits more than $176, 100000. while
the capital Of the national banks was more
than $s6,00O.00o, and their deposits more than
1856, ,000 900, making total capital capital of
national and state banks Of $115,000.00O, and
of deposits of $531 100000.
There were on Nov. 80, 1892 675 private
bankers in the state Of Now York, having II
capital of $53,0O0,Oo0 and deposits of ST.
100000. The average amount of capital of
tho private bankers in the city of New York
was S1o2,2s0, and their average deposits was
Sl09,Sl4 The average amount of capital
and deposits of each Of the private bankers
outside of the city of New York was, of
course, very much less.

Prnri.inn rnr nriiltla.

Senator sewell, Of Now Jersey, yesterday
reported favorably from the committee on
military affairs his bill in relation to annual
appropriations for the militia. The COM
mitteo reports that an appropriation fixed in
1905 to provide arms for seventeen states
with population Of 15,O00,000 (Which is the
appropriation for the support OF the militia
under existing law is entirely inadequate to
provide arms for thirty y-eight states with a
population Of 50,000000. IL alludcs to the
efforts made in former years by the chief Of
ordnance to secure On increase of tho appro-
priatiou.
Referring to the defects in existing law the
committee says the law makes no provision
for the apportionmeut of the appropriations
between the states. contains no requirements
for accountability for the property furnished
and no limitation on the disposition that the
states may. make of IL and, lastly, no pro-
vision for tho furnishing Of tents and
other articles necessary to provide camps
of instruction, to which lattor omis-
sion, the committee says is largely
the strength and efficiency Of their militia.
The Sewell BILL the committee says, proposes
remedies for these defects, aud in recon
mending its passage the committee Is Of the
opinion that no money could be appropriated
by congress more advantagoously especially
in view of the fact that the regular army,
comprising only 25,0OO men, is scattered over
the entire country, so that in case Of neces-
sity for the rapid assemblsge Of q large force
reliance would have to be placen on the
militia.
The Sewell bill provides for the appropria-
tion OF 100000 annually instead Of $500, 1000,
as at present, to be apportioned among the
states aud territories under the direction of
the secretary of war; according to the num-
k.- II 80. InlA Naa N. atAlN
oach state aud territory respectively is en-.
titled in congress. 1t limits the number of
active militia entitled to receive the benefit
Of the appropriations to not exceeding SOC
officers and men for each representative OF
delegate to which the state or territory il
entitled, and provides for the purchase OF
ordnance stores, tents, &C., for the militia By
the chief Of ordnance of the army, under the
direction of the secretary of war, and that
such shall remain the property of tho United
States, to be accounted for annually by the
governors Of the states and territories.

Der of communications were received present.
ing new inventions and improvements in
steamboat and life-saving appliances. They
were referred to appropriate committees. The
committee on boilers and machinery, to whom

a tensile strength of 10000 pounds, but not
over that, to the sectional square inch,
whether stamped or not, and shall be tested
under the rule prescribed for boilers inspected
under the provisions of section SO of the act
relating to boilers built after the twenty
eighth of February. 1872"
Mr.. Burnett, Of the fourth district, offered
the following resolution, which was adopted
and ordered embodied in the rules THAT
no iron or gas pipe for steam connections shall
be used that is more than two inches inside
diameter when tapped in or Joined by screw
joints. All pipes over two inches must have
