The value of the legislation of the last congress for the
extension OF the national banking is demonstrated
by the returns Of new banks organized given in the
annual report OF the comptroller of the currency.
The object Of the of March a. 1860 to encour
the organization OF national banks with smaller CAPT

the currency of the country Under that act October
81 Of this year there organized 742 banks with
aggregate capital of $890295O0 OF the total number
Of banks formed sos had capital Of less than $4,000
That the object Of the act TO give banks to sections OF
the country which needed them most attained is DEM
onstrated by the geographical distribution OF the
banks. There organized in the western states 157
banks, with aggregate capital Of s5oSoo00; in the
south 49, with aggregate capital Of $94655e0 in the
middle 23O with aggregate capital Of 12305oo0;
in the Pacific states. including Hawaii 80, with
aggregate capital of 81, 10000
There were deposited by those banks United States

proving that advantage taken of the opportunity to
increase the currency in circulation When it is remem
bered that the opposition the national banking
system has heretofore from the section Of the

the number of banks. it viii be that the Repub
plan Of permitting organization of banks with smaller
capital was the real solution of the difficulty.

JENKINS
Retained the
Championship.
Best Match Ever Pulled
Off In Cleveland.
Mcleod Proved to be a Wrestling
Wonder.

Cleveland, o., Nov. S.-(Spl)-Tom
Jenkins succeeded In defeating Dan
Mcleod in what proved the greatest
wrestling match this country ever
saw ut Central Armory last night.
Not without the hardest work Of his
life did Jenkins win. Mcleod won
the first fall, and jenkins left the ring
after it, apparently beaten man. The
betting which had been all in favor
of the Cleveland man up to that time,
began to swing at once, and until
jenkins won the next fall 1t was even
money. After jenkins had taken the
next fall, no more money was placed.
. Over 5000 persons witnessed the go,
making the biggest crowd that ever
gathered in Cleveland to see wrest-
ling match. Charley Wittmer Of Gin
cinnati, was referee.
When they came together, neither
seemed anxious to force matters, and
it was nearly four minutes before
they grasped. For nearly all the way
to the first fall Mcleod forced mat
ters. Hold after hold was caught and
broken by Jenkins. For nearly half
an hour the Cleveland man was on
the defensive. Time after time he was
thrown, by no fall was pin fall, nee
essary to count. jenkins began to
force matters. and tried all the tricks
known to him. Mcleod wIs too
clever to be caught, however, and
while Jenkins was straning an arm
hold, the Scotchman saw an opening
and took it, with the result that Jen
ikns was surely forced to the mat
though he fought every inch Of the
way. Time-3G:30.
Jenkins stumbled from the ring, bu
when he returned to take up the strug
gle again, he was refreshed and sur
prised even his friends. He forced
| the going from now on and in 10 nYin
utes had the satisfaction of seeing hi
opponents shoulders squarely ON tn,
mat. EE .....,.'''
1t was now a fall apiece and whel
they came together again for the de
Gliding try, there was breathless silenc
in the big crowd. For twent-tw
long minutes they squirmed and wrig
gled, gaining and losing holds wit
such lightning rapidity that the Grove
went wild with excitement and thel
finally, Jenkins, with supreme effor
got half Nelson and crotch hol
and forced Mcleod to the mat. Time
