Charles @. Dawes. comptroller OF the
currency. has made public the results
of the investigation into the number
of loans and deposit accounts, rates
of interest and resources OF the com.
bined banks of the United States In
the years 1859. 1894 and 1899. The
general deductions from the investisa-
tion covering the last ten years is
given by the comptroller as follows:
That the number OF individual de-
positors in the banks of the United
States Is constantly increasing. as in
dicatcd by the regular increase In the
number OF deposit accounts OF the
combined banking systems: that there
Is demand from borrowers for the
use OF the greater proportion Of the de-
posits of banks, and while the num-
Der OF individual borrowers is increas-
ing the depositors greatly outnumber
the borrowers. and the increase in the
number of borrowers is much less than
the increase in the number OF deposit
ors; that the growth of the banking
systems is being characterized by a
gradually lessenlng rate of interest
charged on loans: that. considering the
large clientage of national and savings
banks. the average deposit of the in
diyidual or corporation is slowly in
ctcasing: that the average size of the

Washington. July 2.e-rresident Me
kinley received what pnrports 10 be Il
direct appeal from the Chinese iniper-
ial government to use his good Offices
to extricate that government from the
position in which it has been placed
rs a result OF the Boxer uprising. Al
though the exact text OF the appeal
made by the Emperor of China TO
France, as outlined in the cable dis
patches of yesterday has not been
known here. 1t is believed that the dis
patch to the President is similar in
terms. In that case. the communic;i-
ton was made through Minister WI
TO the State Department. Thus far a
final answer has not been returned.
The French government, answered at
once, but that answer will not serve
us. The United States government Is
proceeding upon an entirely new line
of policy in the treatment of the case.
Unfortunately the State Department
finds itself alone in this. but neyerthe-
less it is convinced its plan is the best.
and 1t has behind it the consoling as
surance that at present all of the Eu-
ropean governments have tacitly ad-
mitted that an error was made in the
beginning in not following the COM
mon sense advice of the United States
naval commander ut Talu.
The point of difference between the
State Department and the European
governments is that the latter are pro-
ceeding on the belief that all of the
foreign ministers and missionaries and
guards at Pekin have been killed and
insist in dealing with the Chinese gov
ernment on that basis. by assuming
n hostile attitude thar tends to destroy
the last chance of availing of whatever
friendly sentiment may yet exist
among the powerful Chinese viceroys
and the imperial government itself
Thus the French reply, as indicated in
the four conditions laid down by NJ.
Deiacasse yesterday. sets an impossible
task for the imperial government in its
present straits and tends To drive ii ut
once TO make terms with the Boxers
and Prince Tuan's party.
