PRETORIA, Aug. 10.-The plot to make a
prisoner of Lord Roberts and shoot all the
British officers discovered yesterday in
cluded a number of the townspeople who
were In communication with the enemy.
1t was arranged that the capture and kill
ing should take place on the evening of
Tuesday last. Intense indignation prevails
throughout the British army and the gen.
eral opinion is hat the leniency OF the
British invited such a conspiracy. 1t is
considered that no measure for the repres-
sion of such plots can be too strong.
A number of suspected accomplices of
the conspirators have been conducted
across the border. The British authorities
are awakening TO the danger of allowing
Boer sympathizers to remain in Pretoria
and the issue of passes to the burghers
has been stopped.
1t Is said that Lord Methuen has arrested
General De Vets march.
All the Beers in the field credit a rumor
circulated by their leaders that Lord Rob-
erts is dying. Roberts, however, is now in
excellent health, is displaying wonderful
energy and rides daily long distances.

BnYAN.s FRIEND HOGG BEATEN.
Texas Democrats Controlled by Bail
~ey-State Ticket Nominated.

WACO, Tex, Aug. 10.-The Democratic
convention to-day nominated the following
state ticket: Governor, j. D. Savers, of
Bastrop county; lieutenant governor. James
N. Browning, of Potter; attorney general,
Thomas S. Smith, of Hill; commissioner of
the land office. Charles Regain, of Brown;
controller, r. NJ. Love. of Limestone; state
treasurer, John w. Robbins, of Wilbarger;
superintendent of public instruction, j. S.
Kendall, of Harris; chief justice of the SUI
preme Court, R.. s. Gaines, of Lamar; as
sociate justice of the Supreme Court, +. A.
Williams, of Galveston; justice of the Court
of Criminal Appeals, John n. Henderson,
of Williamson; railroad commissioner, l..
J. Storey.
The convention had been one of the most
interesting political gatherings that has
assembled in Texas for years. Charges
and countercharges have been freely made
and one of the knotty problems before
the resolutions committee was the plank
indorsing the State administration for issu-
ing a charter TO the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company after the company had been con-
victed of violating the antitrust law. Hon.
Joseph w. Bailey and Attorney General
Smith led the fight for the insertion of the
plank, while Ex-Governor Hog and others
vigorously opposed it. The result was a
complete victory for Mr.. Bailey and the
State administration. The platform in
dorses the Kansas City platform as a
whole and congratulates the Democrats
of the country on the selection of Bryan
and Stevenson as its standard bearers.
The nomination of State officers was in
nearly every instance by reclamation, the
only contest of interest being hat for rail-
road commissioners between L.. j. Storey,
the present ncumbent. and E. p. Curtis.
The vote resulted in the nomination of Mr..
Storey on the first ballot. Mr.. Wells was
elected chairman of the executive commit
tee for the ensuing four years.

ELEVEN DEATHS REPORTED.
New Suffering, and No Pros
meet of Lower Temperature.

New Workers Suner1nS, anu % Tro
pect OF Lower Temperature.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Eleven persons
died here to-day from the excessive neat,
which continues with little prospect of a
let-up. The greatest suffering is endured
by the thickly-populated East Side. In
these neighborhoods numerous families oc-
cupy a single apartment, and many of
them sleep on the ~pavements TO get a little
fresh air. The fire department tonight
opened a number of plugs and flushed the
streets in the hope of reducing the tenn
Eerature. This gave a temporary relief.
The infant mortality is very great.
Horses are perishing all over the city,
and the mortality among them threatens to
equal the record-breaking August hot spell
of 1896, when so many died that business
was seriously crippled.
The first official record of the temper
allure was at 3 o'clock this morning, when
the thermometer registered 70 degrees. 1t
gradually climbed up to "a degrees at 6
o'clock this evening. Then it slowly drop
ped to 81 degrees at midnight. These fig
ures, however, indicate the temperature in
the weather bureau, nearly 300 feet above
the level of the street, where a cool breeze
was blowing all day. At 4 o'clock street
thermometers registered 100 degrees. The
temperature at 6 o'clock to-day was Il de-
yrees higher than that of a year ago.

VACATION IN NAME ONLY.
President Mckinley Has Little Time
for Rest at His Cantor Home.

CANTON, o., Aug. 10.-Evidence of the
increasing volume of work at the Mckinley

telyou, and President Mckinley himself
puts in about the same hours. The Presi-
dent personally considers all of the Chi
nese news and gives personal attention to
all affairs of state as received here in the
present matters of routine. 1t is said he
has little time for recreation or social in
t%ercourse and cannot receive visitors with
the pr~omptness that characterized the ear
lier days of his vacation. In fact, his
present life has little of the vacation flavor
about it. His health is good, however, ard
he has experienced much benefit from his
~sojourn here. Mrs. Mckinley is also much
the better from living in her own home,
free from the restrictions and formaliities
of an official residence. DR.. Rixey, who
attends her, says she is. in better health
than she has been for a long time. This he
attributes largely to the Canton vacation,
both on account of the climate and the
home life.
Among President McKinley's callers to-
day was DR.. Sanger. of Manila. The doctor
said his call was merely a social one,
though affairs in the Philippines were dis
cussed. DIR. Sanger has spent six years in
Manila. He says he Is no politician and takes
no part in politics but he does favor
the reelection of Mckinley in the interest
of the United States as well as the Philip
pines. He believes in this country retain
ing the islands and thinks both sides will
be greatly benefited thereby. He says the
present disorders in the islands are kept
up by guerrilla bands of one or two tribes
and that hopes of McKinley's defeat at the
oming election are all that sustain them.
He says the majority of the inhabitants Of
the archipelago favor the United States
government. His business In this country
was to look after some titles to property
acquired in Manila under the old Spanish
regime.
Former Senator Blair, of New Hampshire,
called on President Mckinley this evening.
He came on a mission for one of his con-
stituents. the nature of which he did not
make public. Mr.. Blair said the outlook in
New England is all that any Republican
could desire.

circular of his firm the point had been
brought out that in loans of over $l0.OOO,G0
there was a default in interest on the LIST
OF July of less than $500, an exhibit such
as had never been met with before, In all
probability. Nothing could better Illus
trate the abundance of money in the hands

Mr.. Forgan, president of the First Ma
tional Bank OF Chicago, bears testimony of
the easy conditions prevailing throughout
the Western country. reference being made
especially to agricultural districts and
small towns. The First National has on
its books 1.500 country banks. whose ag-
gregate deposits with IL are sS2, 1000. This
is double the amount On deposit three
years ago. These country banks also keep
large balances in other cities. st. Louis,

Ing. to a smaller extent, the favorite with
depositors. They also keep balances in
New York as a rule. These country banks
rarely ask accommodations from their city
correspondents, but actually go into the
larger markets with offers of money to
loan. They compete with the heavier in
situations for all classes of securities where
money can be safely invested. The bank
ing facilities in the country were never
Western States are oversupplied with small
banks You can hardly go into a town of
800 inhabitants without finding one or more
banks, and il Is also observable that the
number of individual lenders is increasing
continually. This money supplies the local
demand for small loans and as the con-
dition Is general. the result Is to push back
the accumulationS into the larger centers.
To such an extent has this process been
carried on that only the larger banks in
the important centers can do business at a
satisfactory profit A natural result of
this development is the consolidation of
city banks, which we see going on every
where and especially in Chicago. where
there Is at the present time a rush for
this sort of thing. A further result will
be, without question, another drop In in
terest rates In the near future. Insurance
companies, with their vast boards of
money in New York and elsewhere, must
take the lead In this. They dread to be-
gin. but see the inevitable and will one
day take the plunge. w. G.. NICHOLAS.
