Reported Organizing Anglo
American Bank in
London.
Capital Limited to an Even
Billion Dollars Who
Wants In?

LONDON, June Sit is reported
otkis morning that Pierpont Morgan is
organizing an Anglo-American bank
with a capital of one billion dollars.
This colossal enterprise fairly stag
gers Englishmen but it does not sur
prise them in view of Mr.. Morgans
Necent financial doings.
Morgan proposes to combine all the
Anglo-American banks in Europe and
America. and his scheme has the sup
port and aid of the Rothschlds.
Some idea of the colossal character
of the proposed enterprise may be
gathered from the fact that the com
hined capital of the Bank of England
Bank of France and Bank of Germany
is not one-tenth Of the capital of Nh
Morgans proposed financial institu
tion.
The combined capital OF the great
banks of New York is less than one
hundred million. while the Morgan
institution will equal most of the com
bined big banks of the whole world.
The plan is well thought of. and al
though on a gigantic scale is not con
sdered impossible.

OPERATIONS OF THE MAD MUL.
LAH.

1t is now said that the British ex.
pedition against the Mad Muilah will
be opposed by force of 10000 men.
and the report is decidedly important
for the members of the expedition if
il is true. For the combined army of
Somalis and Abyssinians under Brit.
ish direction contains less than 10000
men, and. in accordance to the tenor
of recent dispatches, it enjoys no
great superiority in equipment over
the following OF the Mohammedan
fanatic.
This new iirebrand in Africa has
proclaimed himself the true Mahdi.
but he is probably less sincere than
his predecessor of the Sudan and in
character more like the cruel Khal-
lifa. He is now about 30 years old
and has been on the warpath since
1899. Before that he had received
a religious education. which secured
him the title Of Il tnsaiOgian. He
had made pilgrimages to Mecca and
acquired reputation and influence
by his zeal as the disciple of the chief
city.
His military activities began with
plunderins raids upon certain of the
native tribes which We're distinct from
his own. the Ogaden. But his opera
tions soon expanded. and some two
years ago he sent threatening letter

malls within the British sphere. He
and his followers proclaimed them
selves deryishss. and recruits rushed
to their standard, His force in those
days. however. never approached the
strength that is now attributed to it.
In the autumn of 1899 It was estimat
ed at only 1000 horsemen and 5000
spearmen.
But il was formidable enough to
overcome all native opposition. and be-
fore the year was out Hail Mahom-

announced himself as the Mahdi and
promised to found a new Mohamme-
dan empire. He then attacked the
Abyssinians. by whom he was repuls

together, and had become such nui
sance by the beginning of the present
year that the joint expedition was de-
cided Oh. II consists of some 1,5OO
malls drilled by British officers, and
OF 10000 Abysssinians under chief
of their own. who Is accompanied by
British advisers.
The Mad Mullah is described as of
slight figure, and II is said that there
is nothing in his appearance to dis
tinguish him from the ordinary Soma
H. He has, however, vast ambition
is crafty as well as cruel, and his pol
ley for gaining adherents is the eff

knows the value Of modern weapons
and has succeeded in getting hold OF

his people is equal to the estimates
