HIGHEST IN HISTORY.
Present Condition Of Banks Unprecedented In
the National System.

A summary OF the condition OF all the
national banks 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 S4o44,o65,-
623, the highest ever reached in the his
tory OF the national system. The larg-
est amount recently reported was on
June 80, 1899, since which date there
has been an increase OF $235,33I,7Io.
The number OF banks reporting to the
comptroller on June 30, 1899, was 1888,
as against 3,732 on June 20, last, show
ing an increase OF I4o banks since the
former date. The increase in assets is
shown to be in loans and discounts, the
increase being about one-half OF the
total amount, the remainder consisting
OF United States bonds and cash held
by the banks.

FABULOUS PROFITS.
Wall Street Stands Amazed at the Millions Of
Dividends Poured Out by the Stand.
ard Oil Company.

Wall street is simply aghast at the
fabulous profits of the Standard Oil
Company. The declaration OF dividend
Of So share on the So7, 100000 outstand-
ing stocks OF the king of corporations,
which means 38 per cent. in dividends so
far this year, has set the financial in
terests OF the world talking.
On March IS last the company de-
clared dividend OF $40 share or about
$4,000, 900 which was probably the larg-
est interest disbursement ever made
by corporation in this country. This
dividend was followed on June IS by a
payment OF $40 share. and now comes
an additional So per share. Thus $685.
100000 or about that amount is requir-
cd ior the payment OF the three divi-
dends.
In the past 10 years, exclusive OF the
current year, the Standard Company
has paid something like $22I $500 in
dividends. a comparative table is inter
esting. 1t shows: From 1882 to 1891
the company paid dividends at 5H per
cent, $47,25o, 900; 1891 to 1895, dividends
dends at 81 per cent, $3I 100000; 1897,

1903 dividends at 80 per cent, $3o,ooo,-
900; ISoo dividends at 80 per cent, $33,-
100000; estimated this year 48 per cent,
or $48,ooo,ooo.
John ID. Rockefeller president of the
company, is popularly credited with
owning about one-third of the million
shares OF the corporation. On that basis
his check for his share of the present
dividend would be approximately $2,-
100000, and should the dividend pay
ments continue only at this rate Rookie
feller would draw annually about SIo,-
100000 from his Standard holdings
alone.

NEELY TO BE ExTRADITED.
Judge lacombe Asks for a Discontlnuance Of
Other Suits.

Judge Lacombe, of the United States
circuit court, at New York, Wednesday
rendered an opinion which indicates that
an order for the extradition OF Charles
+: w. Nicely to the Cuban authorities
will be signed on August 49, The latter
part OF the document says:
The evidence shows probable cause
to believe that the prisoner is guilty OF
an oifense defined in the act OF June 6,
1000, and which is also violation OF the
criminal laws in force in Cuba and upon
such evidence he will be held for ex-
tradition. Two obstacles to his extradi-
tion now exist. He has been held to
bail in this court upon a criminal charge
OF bringing into this district government
funds embezzled in another district. He
has also been arrested in civil action
brought in this court to recover $4,000,
which, it is alleged, he has converted.
When both OF these proceedings shall
have been discontinued the order in ex-
tradition will be signed. This may be
done on August ~"

kilograms from Pretoria, dated
Thursday, say: "a plot to shoot all the
British officers and to make Lord Rob-
erts a prisoner has been opportunity
discovered. Ten OF the ringIeaders were
arrested and are now in jail. Probably
the plot was part OF conspiracy OF
which the attempted rising at Johannes
burg was the first indication"
Everything was prepared in the plot,
and the conspiracy was only discovered
at the last moment. The conspirators
numbered about IS. They had planned
to set fire 10 the houses in the extreme
western part OF the city, hoping that the
troops would be concentrated there The
plan was that then the conspirators were
iorcibly to enter all houses occupied by
British officers, these having been pre-
viously marked, and to kill the occu-
pants.
All the Boer sympathizers were ac-
quainted with the plot, and several had
been told off TO secure the person OF
Lord Roberts and to hurry with him to
the nearest commando. Horses had
been obtained for this purpose. Then
the British learned the names OF the
ringleaders, who were put under arrest.

A dispatch received in London from
