PREJEvALsKYs HORSE FOUND.
Recent Capture Will Determine
Whether Wild Horse is an Ass.

ACNACA w III 1AOIoS IS an Ass.
(LOndon Standardl
Till twenty years ago the tarpan, the
so-called wild horse of the steppes, de-
scribed by Pallas. was regarded by
some continental biologists as the last
survivor of the species to which the
wild horse of Europe of the Neolithic
period belonged. Other authorities pre-
ferred to consider the horses of the
steppes as feral rather than truly wild
the descendants of domesticated ami
mails which had escaped from captivity.
Whichever view is correct there can be
no doubt that the herds of horses which
formerly ranged from central Asia
westward to the Dnieper have in some
way been modified by an infusion Of
domesticated blood, to which, Mr.
Lydekker suggests. the uniform dun
color may possibly be due
In 1881 the Russian naturalist. Pol
iakOff announced that Colonel Preie-
valsky had discovered a distinct species
Of wild horse, which has since been
known as "Prejevalsky's horse" The
species was founded on a skin sent to
the distinguished Russian explorer, by
the magistrate of the district of Zaisap
who obta med il from some native hunt
ers. The skin was mounted, and is
now in the. museum of the l-oneriaI
Academy % Sciences at st. Petersburg
and the specimen is pretty well known

CHINESE ABUSES.


y American legation in China has
sent a communication to Wash
ington, in which he notes the chief
obstacles to the growth of our trade
with the Chinese.
The first of these that Mr.. Squiers
calls attention to is the disrespect
shown by Americans toward the Chi
nese With whom they trade. Though
such conduct is undoubtedly an i'm
pediment, it is probably justified by
the sandbagging methods of the mid
dlemen of the Celestial empire.
| These, known as "compradOrs," have
/ formed themselves into a strong or
ganization, which is virtually a brok-
erage trust. If a foreigner has goods
to sell in China he must employ
'comPrador." His charges are
ruinous, and leave little profit to the
importer, yet there is no escape from
him. If a merchant attempts to do
business without employing one of
these agents, the compradors" make
1t their business to annoy him in
every possible way, and the influence
of their organization is so powerful
tbat he is soon forced to come to
| terms or cease to attempt to market
his goods in China
But probably the most discourage
ing and injurious obstacle that the
foreign merchant encounters in
China Is the liken, This is a method
of raising money and hindering trade
that is typical of Chinese misman-
| agement. The government of China
raises its funds by a regular tariff
and by assessments levied on the pro-
vincial governments. These are al
lowed to choose their o,*.i method of
raising their shares of the fund.
The favorite plan is by the levy
ing of Hken taxes, which are duties
charged by one Chinese province on
goods entering into it from another.
The plan Is carried to a still finer
point, and in many instances various
departments of province will levy
hken against. goods coming into
them from another department. Thus.
after the foreign merchant has paid
the regular import duty, if his goods
are to be shipped inland to any dis
lance, he Is forced TO pay additional
duties at every few miles of their
journey. Consequently it has be-
come almost impossible for foreign
goods to be sold in many of the PROV
inees of the empire.
An attempt was made to abate this
nuisance by getting the Chinese gov
eminent to issue passes to goods on
which the importer paid the regular
duty and 80 per cent extra. But
many of the provinces held that as
this money goes direct to the gen
eral government. the agreement is
not binding on them, and they con-
tirue to enforce the hken tax. 1t can
easily be seen that until this miser-
able system Is supplanted by some
other means of raising money there
VIII be little chance of building up an
extensive trade with the interior
provinces of China.

Personality of Presidents.
Denver News.

There is no subject in which the aver
age American takes a deeper interest
than that of the personality of the pres
idents. The chief magistrate is the SYM
obi of national unity He is the repre-
sentative of every man, woman and child.
He has one or more points of contact with
all citizens. A majority of them have
seen him or taken him by the hand, prac-
tiCally all have read of him, have looked
on his picture and take pride in his
achievements. In his personality he epit-
omizes the national life. He is placed
before the world as the embodiment of
American ideals and aspira lions.

MORGAN ORGANIZING BILLION
DOLLAR ANGLO-AMERICAN BANK

The aggregate of the capitalizations
of the siXty-four national banks in
Greater New York is barely 100000
600. Two banks only are capitalized
at S1O.OOO,O0O each-the National City
and the National Bank of Commerce.
The greatest bank in the world-the
Bank of England, has a capital of
fl4.553,000 sterling, or about 81, I6o,-
600. The Bank of France has n capt.
tai of 49,. 10000 francs. or 70 $50
100000. The combined capitalization
of the Bank of France. the Deutsche
bank of Berlin, the Bank of Spain, the
Bank of England and the Banque I'm
periale Ottomans, the government bank
of Turkey, falls far short of $1,000
OO0.OOO.
When il was reported last month
that Mr.. Morgan intended to organize
a bank in this city with n capital of
S1OO,O0O.OOO the project was declared
TO be impracticable by conservative
banking men, because of the national
banking laws which impose a tax on
the capitalization of such institutions.
August Belmont. the New York rep
resentatives of the R~Othschilds, who,
according to the London dispatch, are
associated with Mr.. Morgan in the vast
banking scheme, is not at home and
nothing could be learned in New York
concerning the rumored organization
of the mammoth bank.

OKLAHOMA VISITED BY
TERRIBLE TORNADO

Wichita. Kan, June 10.-The most
disastrous storm which has ever Wis
tied Oklahoma prevailed in Kay coun-
ty Friday night. \ tornado struck
Billings, Eddy and Tonkawa and its
influence covered II stretch of country
ten miles wide and thirty-siX miles
long. Eddy was wiped out and sew
eral lives are reported lost.
Nearly every farm house in north
western Kay county is more or less
injured. not a windmill has been left
standing and the face of the country
is covered with debris.
Blackwell suffered considerably.
Practically every piece of glass in the
city has beer broken. If the reports
of damage are correct, including the
damage to crops from wind II hail,
ii will he more than 100000.
The tornado was tiercest ut Eddy,
where Bob McGratfin was killed out
right and his mother fatally wounded.
A telephone message from Enid says
the fatalities at Eddy We're seven per
sons. but the report cannot he con
firmed.
1t is evident that II was not the
same tornado that struck all the places.
1t is probable that three separate
twistcrs prevailed at practically the
same time.
AT Eddy only two houses remain
standing. 1t was a small town. The
prevalence of cyclone cellars undOubt-
eddy saved many lives.
1t is estmated that not less than 100
houses in blackwell, Eddy, Billings
and TOnkawn were injured.
The office of one tornado insurance
company out of forty-three doing bus
mess in Oklahoma received eleven tel
egrams Saturday announcing total
losses. They claim that their losses
will not fall far short of s~evcnty-tive
houses in Kay county and that the to-
tai losses of the fOrty-thrce companies
will he something enormous.
Van Arsdale Brothers, hail insurance
agents doing business here. are receiv-
ing claims for total losses. The small
est claim they have received is for a
fifty per cent. loss. Kay county is
said to be the banner single county in
the United States for wheat. Heavy
hail storms struck Blackwell, Ponca
City, Lilyvale. Deer Creek and Perry.
