fine SHOWING is MADE
Canadiaa Bank of Commerce Rem
ders Its Annual Statement.

The Monetary Times, of Toronto, of
June 22nd, publishes a complete report of
the thirty-third annual meeting Of the Ca
madam Bank of Commerce, a branch of
which is operating in this city, and also
devotes large amount OF editorial space
TO what it classes as 1.-THE uncommon char
acter of the banks report for the veal. !"
1t goes on to saw that the earnings were
handsome, being at the rate of 1928 per
cent. on the capital, quarter of million
OF dollars were added to the reserve fund,
$4,000 was written off bank premises
account; $4,000 was given to the pension
fund and,
mot least in interest of the announces
ments OF the meeting, was that in regard
to the bonuses awarded to the staff, which
we understood varied from something like
10 per cent. OF the salary in the case of the
highest paid men to IS per cent. and even
more in the case of the juniors or those on
moderate salaries"
The total of the net profits of the bank
for the year were $7o6, 582. and the balance
on profit and loss account S55,738, making
in all $822. 32I. An indication OF how
this was appropriated has already been
stated.
There were other points of interest in
the report, notably the increase of 81 ooo,-
900 in deposits and over $500. 1000 in circu-
lation. The total deposits amounted to
$40, o8o, 900, and the note circulation has
grown to over So, 900, 900. The deposits
not bearing interest amount to Ss,48o,o25,
and the deposits bearing interest to S24.-
Io3,343. 1t will be easy to see from this
the immense capital handled, for these
items. together with the paid up capital of
six millions, the reserve of million and a
quarter, and the balance of profit and loss
account, make up the amount of $42 S22, =

| General Manager Walker, in acknoWl>
edging the usual vote of thanks to the
banks staff, said: "We have now 400 of
ficers in the service. 1t is a very large
staff to care for, and it is difficult to keep
it first class staff, but think may say
that it is so. think we may feel salts
fled that we have as good men in our serv
ice as any other institution possesses. The
work they perform is difficult and arduous,
especially since we have extended the field
Vt our operations to the far west and north.
1.-THE new branches opened during the
year are Fort Frances, Ont; Fort Steele,
B. c.; White Horse, Y. T., and Seattle.
This is the second year of the SkagWay
branch and it is by no means the least i'm

bank, but figures well in the years re-

TEXAS REPUBLICANS MEET.
Green Faction So Far Controls the
Convention.

Waco. Tex, March 6-The republican
state convention formally convened here
today
Chairman T.. III. II. Green, of the eXecu-
tive committee. called the body to order
I'm executive session in the auditorium at
10 o'clock this morning. 1t was agreed
among the committee to recommend Will
liam Mcdonald of Terrell. for temporary
chairman. and j. c. Kolp, of Iowa Park,
for temporary secretary.
When the regular convention was called
to order by Chairman Green motion
was made to insert the name of Henry
Ferguson (colored). of Fort Bend county.
for temporary chairman instead of that of
Mcdonald recommended by the commit
tee Mcdonald represented the Green and
Ferguson the anti-Green faction. Both
were placed in nomination and a roll call
vote ordered Half hundred delegates
were on their feet seeking recognition
from the chair simultaneously, and it
seemed for a time that split i'm the con-
yention was inevitable. A vote by dis
tricts was ordered, resulting in McDon-
AIDS election-420 to 3i2. j. G. Kolp was
elected secretary by unanimous vote. 1t
required four hours to complete the vote
for chairman, after which a motion was
offered and carried to adjourn until 1880
tomorrow morning.
Both sides arc having caucus tonight
and II is hard to forecast what tomorrow
will bring forth.

CONFLICT SEEMS IMMINENT.

Frankfort, Ky, March 1.-THE
democrats and the republicans in
Kentucky are today, for the first
time since the present political COM
plications assumed acute form, di-
vided into two armed and organized
factions.
Surrounding the capitol ana the state
executive building and camped in the
grounds around Governor Taylor's home
are nearly 200 state militia. we'll provided
with ammunition, while i'm the corridors
of the hotel in which the democratic
state executive officers are located. and
in the streets adjacent To that building.
are sixty special officers ana the men and
boys of q militia company that was or
eanized IN Frankfort today, as the nucleus
of Governor Beckham's state guard. be
sides scores or more of heavily armed
citizens partisans of the democratic e'e-
ment.
Within an hour after the demo-
cratic leaders today heard a r'lmor
that an attempt was to be made by
the state militia to take Governor
Beckham into custody a petition had
been circulated and signed by the
requisite number of men necessary
to form a militia company.
The. men will guard the Capitol hotel ali
night against any possible attempt To ar
rest Governor Bcckh7m. Only two days
more remain for the legislature To be
I'm sessi IN. but the developments of those
two days are looked forward To with ap-
prehcnsion Icy leaders of both sides.
The democratic partisans say that
should the militia attempt to inter-
fere with the session of the legisla-
ture. persistent rumors of which have
been in circulation all day, it will
be next to impossible to avert blood
shed.
The republican officials. however, deny
that such action has been even contem-
plated. ana that the legislature will nos
be molcsted i'm any way.
That the report is believed in demo
cratic circles. however. is shown BY the
fact that the ACCESSIBILITY of holding the
session in some other place than ,he state
house has been under discussion. and
eve'i at u late hour tonight the question
had not been fully settled.
The formation of the state guard here
today to support Governor Bcckham was
undertaken Icy City Clerk Ben Marshall,
who circulat d a paper and enlisted the
requisite nrmber of men who are 70 COM
pose the new company. The guns Cor this
company have Lccn provided by citizens
here. most Of them being either needle
guns or wiuchestcrs.
This afternoon a report gained
currency that Governor Taylor had
given his soldiers orders to arrest
Governor Beckham and other officers
of the democratic state government.
On account of this report the men en-
