Reports Results of characterization.
WASHINGTON, Nov. zl6.-Charles G.
Dawes, comptroller of the currency. has
just made public the results of inyesti-
cation which he has made into the num-
Der of loans and deposit accounts, rates
Of interest and resources of the COM
bined banks of the United States in the
years 1SS9 1894 and 1899 In collecting
this data nearly 10000 reports from
banks have been examined and complied.
The investigation into number of loans
and deposit accounts and average loans
and deposits is the first ever made cover
ing the United States. either in reference
to the national system or banks other
than national. The results of this in
vestigation indicate a magnitude of bank
ing resources and rate of growth in
number of deposit accounts which is un-
paralleled in the financial history of the
world. The general deductions from the
investigations covering the last ten
years is given by the comptroller as fol-
lows:
First, that the number of Individual de-
positors in the banks of the United
States is constantly increasing, as indi-
Gated by the regular increase in the
number Of deposit accounts of the COM
bined banking systems, estimated as fol-
lows: July u, 1889, ,20S banks reporting,
6,1OS,S1; July Is, 1884. 95O8 banks report
ing, S993 766 Jgne u eoe 3d. 1899 s.732 banks
grand total for the year 1859, based upon
banks reporting and statistics as to non
reporting banks obtained from tax re-
turns to the commissioner of internal
revenue shows 12,15SS74 deposit accounts
in 12.S04 banks.
Second. that there is a demand from
borrowers for the use of the greater part
Of the deposits of banks, and while the
number OF Individual borrowers Is in
creaSing, the depoSitOrs greatly outnUln-
ber the borrowers, and the increase IN
the number of borrowers is much less
than the increase in the number of depoSi-
tors, as Indicated by the rate of increas Sc
in the number of loans, estimated as fol-
lows July 12, 1889, 1903 banks reporting,
2,1SS. AL; July IS 1885,, ,9,508 banks reporting
1880, ,694; June &c. 1885, 9I32 banks report
ing 3,911, ,664. The estimated grand total
for the year 1S99 based upon banks re-
porting and statistics as to non-reporting
banks, obtained from tax returns to the
commissioner of internal revenue, shows
$5,067, ,252 loans in 12,SW banks.
Third. that the growth of the banking
system is being characterized by a grad
ually lessening rate of interest charged
on loans
Fourth. that a gradually lessening "a te
of interest is being paid upon deposits
Fifth, that considering the large client
average deposit of the Individual or cor
poration is slowly increasing.
Sixth, that the average size of the loans,
all classes of banks considered, has not
varied much in the last decade.

MOIineux Is Slow.

Progress Toward Trial of Roland q.
MOIineux Is Slow.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Two of the
twelve men who are to try Roland B.
Molineux, accused of causing the death
by poison of Katherine j. Adams, have
been obtained. 1t took nearly the entire
third day of the trial to accomplish this
result. The men are Matthias L. B. Mar
tin, retired stock broker, formerly a
member of the stock exchange, and still
a member of the consolidated exchange
He is about sixty-five years of age, and
married. The other is William G. Post.
recently retired from the. confectionery
business. He is married.
Mr.. Martin took his seat in the fury
box at fifteen minutes after u O'Clock to-
day. He was the fifty-ffth talesman ex-
amsned since the beginning of the trial.
OF the dozen candidates for positions
on the jury in the Molineux case today it
is interesting TO notice that seven were
excused because they had conscientious
scruples upon the subject of capital pun
ishment, three were disqualified because
of lack Of general information or IN
ability to speak English properly, one be
cause he had compunctions Of conscience
concerning the subject of circumstantial
evidence, and one because his duties as
a policeman entitled him to be excused.

How They Interfere with Military
Telegraph lines.

WASHINGTON, =Noy. 1s-Mah advices
received at the war department show
that the Filipino Insurgents have adopted
a new method of interference with the
military telegraph lines. This is done by
attaching a fine copper wire to the line,
running it down the pole or through the
foliage of a tree to the ground, where 1t
is attached to piece of iron driven into
the earth. This effectively cuts off COM
munication and is not easily discovered
when once accomplished.
