The aggregate Of the capitalixatiops
Of the sixty-fOur national banks in
Greater New York Is barely 500, ,OOO,-
600. Two banks only are capitalized
at $1O,O00,O00 each-the National City
and the National Bank OF Commerce.
The greatest bank In the world-the
Bank of England. has a capital OF
f14,553,OOO sterling. or about ST., 1885,
200. The Bank of France has a capl-
tai of 1872 10000 francs, or about $780,
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
100000.
When 1t was reported last month
that Mr.. Morgan intended to organize
a bank in this city with a capital OF
x1OO,OO0.OO0 the project was declared
TO be impracticable by conservative
banking men, because of the national
banking laws which impose tax on
the capitalization Of such institutions.
August Belmont, the New York rep

according to the London dispatch, are

OKLAHOMA VISITED BY
TERRIBLE TORNADO

Wichita, Kan, June 1O-The most
disastrous storm which has ever WIS.,
tied Oklahoma prevailed In Kay coun-
ty Friday night. A tornado struck
Billings, Eddy and Tonkawa and its
influence covered a 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 been broken. IL the reports
of damage are correct. including the
damage to crops from wind and hail
it will be more than 100000.
The tornado was fiercest at Eddy,
where Bob McGraffln was killed out
right and his mother fatally wounded.
A telephone message from Enid says
the fatalities at Eddy were seven per-
sons, but the report cannot be con-
firmed.
1t is evident that 1t was not the
same tornado that struck all the places.
1t Is probable that three separate
twisters prevailed at practically the
same time.
At Eddy only two houses remain
standing. 1t was a small town. The
prevalency Of cyclone cellars undoubt-
edly saved many lives.
1t Is estimated that not less than 100
houses in Blackwell. Eddy, Billings
and Tonkawa were injured.
The office Of one tornado insurance
company out of f0rty-three doing bus
iness in Oklahoma received eleven tel
egrams Saturday announcing total
losses. They claim that their losses
will not fall far short Of seventy-five
houses in Kay county and that the to-
tai lcsses Of the forty-three companies
will be something enormous.
5 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
