PASSED A GOOD NIGHT.
Mrs. Mckinley Is Favored by a
Change in Temperature.

Washington, June S.-Dr. Rixey spent
three-quarters of an hour at the White
House this morning. He reported that
Mrs Mckinley passed a fairly comfort
able night.
DR. Rixey when asked regarding the
result of the microscopic examination
of the patients blood said he had moth
ing to say on the subject, and that if
anything was given out it would be
after a consultation of the three physi-
clans. Some apprehension has been
felt as to the possible unfavorable effect
of the warm weather, but heavy rain
fell yesterday and brought lower tenn
perature, and much satisfaction was
expressed at the White House at the
temporary relief Mrs. Mckinley ordi-
nariIy suffers little from the heat of the
summer at Washington, but the pos
sible effect at this time, in view of her
low vitality and the necessity for
guarding against anything in the ma
ture of a. sinking spell or a drain upon
her strength caused some anxiety.
The complaint from which Mrs. Nc
Kinley suffered in San Francisco is not
entirely checked. but it is said to be
under better control. Despite some re-
ports to the contrary, it is stated en-
phatically at the White House that Mrs.
Mckinley has not grown any worse.
DR. Rixey says Mrs. McKinley's abil-
ity to maintain her condition under the
weather conditions in Washington is in
her favor.

HAS He FOUND IT.?
Process of Extracting Gold
From Shale Is Discovered.

Some startling revelations about
Kansas shales are promised to be made
within a few days. 1t is claimed that
a process has been discovered by which
gold and silver can be extracted from
the shale at a very small cost per ton
A man who is an expert chemist and
lives in Galena is the discoverer Of this
process. During the past week, he has
been making demonstrations of his pro-
cess at the laboratory of J. T. Lovewen.
523 Kansas avenue. Wonderful results
are said to have been secured. None OF
the people interested in the test will
talk. Further tests are TO be made by
Prof Lovewell of the method. which
win finally retermine the question OF
whether the process is a success. The
process is being kept a secret, but It il
said to involve a concentration OF the
shale-ore.

COLOSSAL.
J. P. Morgan Is Organizing
Biggest Bank in World.
Institution viii Have a Capital
of ST, ,OOO,OOO,OOO.
ROTHSCHILDs IN IT.
Designed to MOnOpoIize All An
glO American Business.
Other international Financial
Agencies to Be Abolished.

New York, June S.-According to the
London correspondent of the World. it
is reported there that J. P. Morgan is
engaged in arranging for the estab-
lishment of a great Anglo-American
bank with capital Of 81, 600, 100000 1t
is said that it is proposed to abolish all
of the principal financial agencies and
banks already engaged in Anglican mer-
lean business.
The proposed institution, it is said. is
intended to be the principal agency for
the already vast and rapidly growing
banking transactions between Europe
and America
Mr.. Morgan is understood to have as
sociated with him in the stupendous
undertaking not only the principal cap
italists who aided in the organization of
the United States Steel corporation, but
also the Rothschilds.
Locally the World says: Several
times since the panic of May it has
been reported in Wall street that Mr.
Morgan intended TO organize a bank
with 500, 600 capital These reports
have been invariably denied at the Of
fees of J. p Morgan & Co.
The creation of a bank with a cap
italizatiOn of a billion dollars is an un-
dertaking of a nature so colossal that
nothing approaching it has ever been
hinted at before.
The aggregate of the capitalization of
the sixty-four national banks in Great
er New York is barely 500, 000, ,000 Two
banks only are capitalized at $40, 900, 900
each-the National City and the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce. The great
est bank in the world, the Bank of
England, has a capital of 414, $50, 900
sterling. or about $72, ,765, 900. The Bank
of France has capital of 1872, SOC, 600
francs. or about $50. SOC. 900. The COM
bined capitalizations of the Bank of
France, the Deutsche bank of Berlin,
the Bank of Spain. the Bank of Eng
land and the Banque Imperiale Otto
mans. the government bank of Turkey,
fall far short of 81. 600 900, 600.
When it was reported last month that
Mr. Morgan intended to organize
bank in this city with a capital of $780,,
000, 600, the project was declared to be
imprac cticable by conservative banking
men because of the national banking
laws which impose a tax on the cap
italization of such institutions.
August Belmont, the New York repre-
sentative of the Rothschilds, who, ac-
cording to the London dispatch are as
sociated with Mr.. Morgan in the vast
banking scheme, is not at his home III
Hampstead, l. T., and nothing could be
learned in New York city concerning
the rumOred organization of the man.

ton of the lining membrane of the
heart) involving the mitral valve the
result of the same blood infection. This
does not appear to be progressive and
there has been an Improvement in the
diarrhOea and in her general condition
Mrs Mekinley's case at the present
time presents a more cheerful aspect"
While in San Francisco it was said
the president desired a fuller announce
ment of the nature of Mrs. Mckinley g
illness given to the public But, for one
reason, or another. it has been with
held up to the present time.
The statement that Mrs. McKinley's
case at this time presents a more hope
full aspect, is the best word that has
come from the sick room since the ar
rival of the distinguished patient in
Washington The president feels con-
siderably encouraged. Today was Mrs
McKinley's birthday and many beauti-
ful flowers and gifts were left at the
White House for her.
