Washington (SpeciaD "A summary
of the condition of all the national
hanks in the United States at the close
of business June 20, 1900, has just been
completed by the Comptroller OF the
Currency. :.
The aggregate assets of the banks Is
shown to be 81 ,944, 965, 1923, the highest
ever reached in the history of the ma
tional system. The largest amount pre-
viously reported was on June 80, 1893
since which date there has been an
increase of s235, 331,7 19.
The number of banks reporting 10
the Comptroller on June 30, 1889, was
1883 as against 1882 on June 70 last,
showing an increase of 149 banks.
The increase in assets is shown TO
he in loans and discounts, the increase
being about one-half the total amount
tho remainder consisting of United
States bonds and cash held by the
banks.
The abstract shows an increase in
the circulating medium OF S65, 1860
The circulation is now shown to be
s265. 3O3, O1S, as against $199,35S,3S2 one
year ago.
The reserve held by the banks on
June 80. 1899, was 1915 per cent. and the
reserve held on June 20, 1900, was 29.lS,
showing a strong cash resource con-
tinuously held by the banks against
their deposits during the past year.

1T Inferred What Terms He Makes VIII
Satisfy Imperial Government-Therei is
Nobisposition Evident I'm Washington
to Abate the Demands Made for Cessa-
ton of Uostilities.

Washington (SpeciaD. - Hope of
peace in China is dawning at last.
Minister WI Ting Fang presented 10
the State Department an cdict from
Emperor Kuang Hsu appointing Ii
Hung Chang Envoy Plenipotentiarv
TO propose IAN immediate cessation OF
hostile demonstrations" There mad
been reports Of this from Shanghai,
but Minister Wus presentation OF the
cdict puts 1t in official form.
The edict says that Ii is authorized
to conduct negotiations in behalf OF
The Emperor for the settlement Of
whatever questions may have to be
dealt with. The result of the nego-
tiations is to be reported to the En-
peror for his sanction. 1t Is believed
here that this indicates a decided will
linencss by China to make concessions,
and that the allied armies may not
enter Pekjn. When they reach the
east gate of Pekin, it is hoped, the
Chinese Government will be willing to
deliver the Minis .ers and other foreign-
ers to them. and Ii can then negotiate
a basis of peace.
Acting Secretary of State Adee re-
plied to the edict promptly. he REFER
ates the demands previously made by
The United States for cooperation be-
tween the Chinese Government and
the allied forces, and intimates that
negotiations cannot be entered into
until the Chinese Government complies
with those demands. AS China is ex-
pected to comply soon, this obstacle Is
in a fair way of being removed.
One or more breaks may occur III
this program. The Russian Govern
ment, it is announced from st. Peters
burg. has authorized M. De Giers, its
Minister. to leave Pekin under Chinese
escort. as proposed by the Chinese
Government. 1t is considered likely
that he has already left Pekin. Then,
too. there is the German punitive ex-
pedition. which Emperor William mas
announced will exact PREPARATION Tor
the murder OF Baron Won Ketteler.
Field Marshall Count Won Waldersee,
when he arrives in China, may find
nothing but this expedition to COM
mand.
A cablegram from Minister Conger,
dated August 4, and addressed to Gen
eral Chaffee, was received. He says:
I've will hold on until your arrival;
hope it will be soon"

THE NATIONAL GAME.

Days work at second for Brooklyn
is something marvellous.
Collins. of Boston, has played fifty
perfect fielding games this season.
In Chicago they claim that McCar-
thy is the greatest left fielder that ever
played on q Chicago team.
Sheehan. the new inielder of the
New Yorks, was farmed out TO the
Syracuse Club of the Eastern League.
Schriver. of the Pittsburgs, has the
distinction of having gone through
half the season without striking OUT.
Batting averages in the League are
coming down until the boys getting
one hit in three times are doing pretty
well.
Davis. of the New York team, and
Clark, of the Pittsburg team, are the
only two playing managers III the
League.
Mathewson, the new twirler OF the
New Yorks, was formerly OF BUCK,
nell University, and has also played
foot ball.
McPhee. the Cincinnatis old second
baseman, had a record of eighteen
years as professional without ever
being fined.
There are four clubs in the race lor

They are Chicago, Indianapolis Nil

Taking his batting, fielding and good
habits into consideration Flick comes
pretty nearly being the most valuable
man on the Philadelphia team.
Cleveland's revival is the greatest
argument that could be made Tor
clean ball. Tebeauism chilled the For
est City, but the old fire has been
rekindled under McAleer.
Secretary Pulliam, of Pittsburg, has
come to the conclusion that this thing

the field must be stopped, or the mag
mates soon will have to be looking aOr

Italian at the White House With Pro-
jectile as Present.
Washington Especially AN Italian,
who gave his name as Professor
Figucca, of Felucca, Italy, caused some
excitement at the White House by ex-
hibiting brass projectile which he
wished to present to the President. He
arrived during the forenoon accom-
panied by a negro who bore a large
satchel When stopped at the front
door by Usher Mitchell he presented a
slip of paper bearing this inscription:
Professor Figuccia presents this pro-
jectile to the President OF the United
States" He took out of the satchel a
very heavy brass projectile and a long
wire, and explained that the pushing
of the wire through hole which had
been bored in the end of the pro-
jectile's nose would cause a big explo-
sion. The visitor could speak no Eng
lish and made known his mission by
signs. After some questioning it was
concluded the Italian was an inventor
seeking official recognition of his de-
vice. and he was directed to the Italian
Embassy Later the Secret Service
was notified.

KILLED BY INTENSE HEAT.
Eleven Die in New York and Nine In
Chicago.

New York Especially Eleven per-
sons died here from the excessive heat,
which has been torturing humanity IN
this locality for some days and still
continues with little prospect or a
let-up. The greatest suffering is en-
dured by the people of the lower East
Side districts, which are so thickly
populated. In these neighborhoods
numerous families occupy single
apartment, and many of them sleep on
the pavements in front of the buildings
in the hope Of obtaining little fresh
air. The fire department opened
number of the plugs and flushed the
streets in the hope of reducing the
temperature. This gave a temporary
relief. The infant mortality is very
great
Horses are perishing all over the city
and mortality among them threatens
to equal that of the record-breabing
August hot spell of 1896. when so many
died that business was seriously Grip
pied.
Philadelphia Especially The intense
heat here resulted in five deaths and
twenty prostratiOns.
The maximum temperature was
reached at o'clock, when the Govern
ment thermometer on top of the post
office building registered 81 degrees
The minimum was 80 degrees, at 3.40
o'clock. At s O'Clock the mercury had
reached the IS mark, and by 10 o'clock
jumped to go. At noon three add
tional degrees were noted, and at z
o'clock Sc degrees were registered. The
mean temperature was SO, II above
normal. The average for the past four
days was higher than any other similar
period on record
Chicago (SpeciaD Nine deaths and
fifteen prostrations resulted from the
excessive heat here. The tempera-
ture was above 80 the greater part Of
the day, and for one hour during the
afternoon touched 95 degrees.
Pittsburg Especially Instead of 60
ing lower, the thermometer jumped UP
point, reaching 81 on the Government
instrument Five deaths and six pros
trations are directly attributable to the
hot weather.
