Dsiawsre's Good Bank showing.

The New York Financier publishes
annually troll of honor" Of the ma.
tional banks of the United States, the
bapks ranking according to their show
ing Of surplus and profits In excess OF
capital
OF the SO national banks Of Maryland
IL were on the troll of honor" in 1900,
against the same number In 1890 and
10 in previous years. Pennsylvania,
New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Massa-
ehusetts, Texas and Ohio are the only
States that have more than il banks on
the roll. Virginia has nine. Delaware
five. Georgia four and North Carolina
two.
Taking the States most largely repre-
sented the percentages Of roll Of honor
banks are as follows: New Jersey, %
Pennsylvania, II; New York, I6, and
Maryland, Is, with Massach usetts and
Ohio far down the list The additions
to the roll In 1900 were numerous, IN
dicating grsat prosperity. The total
number of national BANKS In that year
was 3,67l and the number on the roll
43s, the increase on the roll being 81.
These comparisons, made by the
Baltimore Sun, are highly compli.
mentary to Maryland, with it's IS per
cent, but Delaware's showing is the
best of all. There are IS national banks
IN Delaware, and with five on the roll
Of honor her percentage is q. AND

The Russian Council of Ministers,
after years Of consideration, have at
last decided upon the construction of
q great central pipeline from Baku to
Batum, conclusion of vast import to
the Development OF the petroleum trade.
IL will be about five hundred and fifty
miles long, and the pipes will be laid
parallel with the railway. For ton
years at least it has been evident that
the old-fashioned system Of trausporta-
tion of the oil by rail in tank cars was
wholly unable to meet the demands of
the trade. and was preventing the in
dustry from ASSUMING anything like Its
possible proportions, but although the
subject was discussed over and oyer
again by one minister after another,
nothing definite was accom- pIished
Even now there will be considerable
delay, as the authorities have decided
that the pipes and all the necessary
hydraulic machinery must be manu-
featured 10 Russia The most sanguipe
sstimase is that everything will be
ready by the end Of 1909, but it will
probably be a year or two longer before
the oil is running. With the railway
and the pipeline in full operation, the
export Of Russian petroleum will be
inceased indefinitely.

A Washington special states that the
receipts from customs and internal
revenue continue to show marked in
crease over those of tns preceding
year. The reduction made at the last
session of Congress 10 internal taxes
was confidently expected to result in a
falling Of receipts equal to monthly
average of about SO, 500, 600. Perhaps,
before the close of the current year this
expectation will be realized, but the
fact remains that thus far the receipts
from internal revenue since June Both
are LOCO. COO in excess of those for
the same period OF last year.
Nearly $50, 900, 900 has been collected
from customs and internal revenue for
the II business days of the present
month, of which ~, 1876. SOL came from
internal revenue. Including 81, 473. OBI
from miscellaneous sources the receipts
for the II days OF July aggregate
S,i, 33d, 1877, or more than daily
average of $1,000, 900. ard an increase
over the corresponding II days of 1000
OF 81. 300. GOO.
Notwithstanding this large increase
in receipts, there is deficiency for tho
II days of over "a, 600, 600, caused by
increased expenditures. The discharge
Of the volunteer troops and the re-
duction of the regular army to 76, 600
men will cause very decided falling
off in disbursements after this month,
and leads the treasury officials to be-
lieve that the excess of receipts will
appear at an earlier period in this than
in the preceding fiscal year.

The strangest strike story of the
season comes fron Pittsb urg, and it's
publication as special dispatch in the
New York Times gives it credeucs, as
the Times is not a yellow" journal. 1t
is that fifty or mure workmen, princi-
pally carpenters, employed On the new
Frick building, struck because they
were not permitted to drink lemonade,
which the mon bought from fund Of
their own contributions. The employers
had been furnishing filtered water. iced
and with cat meal in it, as pre-
yentive of cramps but the men thought
lemonade would be an improvement.
This first instalment OF lemonade, how
ever, led to such excessive drinking
that the superintendent was afraid the
men would become i'll, and shut off the
drink Then the strike came. 1t will,
of course. be argued that the men have
a right to select what they shall drink,
as well as what they shall eat, but,
after all, it is mighty small matter to
go on strike about.

The Sampson Schley controversy is
becoming more exciting. Admiral
Sampson now admits that he read the
proofs of Maclay's history, in which
Schley is denounced as ''iiar, caitiff
and coward" and therefore will be
charged with approving the "his-
torian's'' venom. Admiral Robley ID.
Evans adds an interesting chapter in
the shape of information to the effect
that the code of signals agreed upon
between the Cuban insurgents ON shore
and the feet. whereby the latter were
to be informed OF the whereabouts Of
Cervera's ships, were communicated to
the captain of every vessel except the
Brooklyn on which was Admiral Schey.
The latter, accordingly, waited usslsssly
for three days off Oienfuegos, not
understanding the shore signals to the
effect that the Spanish warships we're
not there, before departing for Santiago.
With this additional information the
battle will go on more merrily than
ever.

safely can it be handled that the
danger attaching to its use is less
than that Incurred in transporting

dicate that the explosive will pierce

sufficient power to destroy everything
with which it comes in contact. New
