"That's another agent" said Mrs. NAPLES

of determination on her face, and confront.

had time to speak she snapped out: well,
what do you wantY
For the first time in his experience that
agent lost his cue. He had intended to ask
her ii her eldest sister was at home, and
was ready to address her as "My dear young
lady," that being his formula for any woman
under so, but one look into that frozen coun-
tenance made him forget his own name. He
cast his eyes on the doormat, and they took
in gray and black tabby reposing there.
He was saved.

to caress it, Marked like tiger. Never
saw one just like it,"
you did not call to see the cat, did YOU"
asked Mrs. W in petrified voice.
MY dear lady, did not know that you
had a cat, much less such a magnificent
feline specimen as that May ask its age?"'
Mrs. W gave the first sign of thaw.

'Noble creature! Beautiful cat! Excuse
me, but you have treasure there, and he
should have a historic pedigree" and he
smoothed down the old doorstep loafer and
said he reminded him of his home far away
in Maine
Then he sold Mrs. NAPLES four bottles of a,

A NOTABLE STATEMENT.
Comptroller Dawes Says the December
Showing of the National Banks Il the
Greatest Ever Known.

Washington, Jan. IA. 1.-THE most
notable statement that has ever been
made by the national banks" is the
language in which Comptroller Dawes
yesterday described the statement of
the condition OF the national banks on
the 1st day of December last The to-
tai resources of the banks were larger
by 5000, 900, 900 than the statement OF
Septem Der 90, 1885, which stood until
that time without challenge. The
loans and discounts have increased in
a large proportion and the individual
deposits are $500, 600, 900 larger The
volume OF banking business is now
much greater than before the panic of
1898. The loans are but trifle larger
than in the summer and autumn OF
1892, when they touched the maximum
on September 30 of So, III, O4l,0SS The
deposits, however, are more than 20
per cent. greater than at that time,
when the amount was 81, 765, 422 9S3.
The deposits on December l, 1898,
were So, 225 26O, s13, and the total re-
sources of the banks were S., 313, S29, $40.

WAR INVESTIGATION
President Mckinley Will Soon Have
the Report of the Commission.
MANY OFFICIALS ARE CRITICISED.
The Primary Trouble Due to the Lack OF
Proper Military OrgRnization--NO
CrimInality In Amy OF the Con-
tracts for Supplies.


Washington, Jan. l6-President Nc
Kinley will have in his possession
the full report of the war commission
within the next ten days. 1t will
declare that the primary trouble is
due to the lack of proper military
organization. It will show that Secre-
tary Alger was weak, and especially
in his relation with Maj Gen. Miles,
but it will not find him responsible for
the camp horrors" Maj. Gen. Miles
will be criticised for his conduct
before and during and since the war.
Coming down to the beef controversy,
the commission will find that Gen.
Miles charges were unfounded, and
that there was absolutely no crimi-
nality in any Of the contracts made
for supplies for the service.
So far as the Santiago campaign is
concerned, the commission will report
that Gen. Shafter conducted that
movement as efficiently as could have
been expected under the circum-
stances. Commanding officers of the
transports will also come in for
share of the blame. The commission
will recommend the radical reorgani-
cation of the inspector generals de-
partment and, it is said, will sharply
criticise Gen. Breckenridge for his ac-
ton in leaving his inspection depart
ment to take part in the Santiago bat
tie, instead of staying at home to at
tend to his inspection duties. Had
there been more inspections the com
mission is satisfied the epidemics of
typhoid and many of the Irregularities
which prevailed would not have oc'
Cured
Gen. Brooke will be criticised for
the conditions which existed at Camp
Thomas, and the medical department
will be blamed for lack of inspections
and failures to carry out proper sani-
tary regulations The quartermaster
general will be acquitted of charges
of high prices paid for animals for the
army, and the report will state that
he obtained them very cheaply, but he
may be criticised for clothing furnished
the men.
The report will also show that con-
gress was responsible for the equip
ment OF the soldiers with black
powder, as the ordnance department
did not get in time the necessary APP
preparations for smokeless powder. 1t
has been found by the commission that
a war has never been operated with
such small loss of life. Only one per
cent. of the crmy died from illness and
in battle.
Faults which existed at Santiago also
existed in Porto Rico, there being a
great deal of illness at that place.
The Manila campaign was thoroughly
satisfactory.
With respect to Montauk point, the
commission will find that it was the
best point that could have been Sc
lected for bringing the troops home
from Cuba, that it would have been
better had the several thousand men
and several thousand animals not been
sent to that point from the south, but
there was no foundations for the
many complaints filed.
