Morgan is engaged in arranging for the estab- lishment of great Anglo American bank with capital of s1sO. 900. 900. It is said that it is proposed to abolish all of the principal financial agencies and banks already engaged in Anglo American 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.
 MT 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 2 times since the panic of May it has been reported in Wall Street that Mir Morgan intended to organize d bank with S1o0, ,000,0 GOO capi' al. These reports have been invariably denied at the of- fices of J. P. Morgan & Go.
 The creation of bank with a capi talization of billion dollars Is an un- dertaking of a nature so colossal that nothing approaching 1t has ever been

Paris, June S.--The duel with swords which was begun yesterday in the Pare des Princes between Max Regis (the anti-Semite Mayor of Algiers) and M LaBerdesque, .an Algerian journalist and which was adjourned after nine teen resultless rounds, had been fought was resumed this morning.
 NJ. Regis was seriously wounded in the forearm, copious flow of blood resulting and the duel was thereupon stopped. The seconds, however. suDse- ouently became involved in a lively al- tercation, which will possibly lead to another duel.
 The duel today lasted thirty seconds, Nj. LaBerdesque, who is a line swords man, yesterday confined himself to the defense, but this morning after half a dozen pa asses he lunged and pricked M. Regis in the right forearm. The latter wished to continue the duel. but the seconds refused to let the fight continue.
 4 quarrel then broke out among the seconds and several spectators, who included the we'll known fencers Mala- to. Thomegueuz, F. Suetscher and Thomson. Fierce epithets were eX- changed and blows were struck, but friends succeeded in leading away M. Regis, who was furious over the sec onds' decision. Before re lef- the grounds M. Regis shouted to M. La- Berdesque:
 T fought you to show I was rot afraid of your sword. You are rever- theless an assassin"
 M. LaBerdesque promptly retorted, asking the seconds to arrange another Auel.
 Two other duels are also promis ed in connection with the affair, one be- tween LaBerdesque's secretary, M. Brescher and a journalist named GGu- NhAP

MT. Shipherd had promised to see him but failed to do so. Suddenly he was confronted with the signing of the pa. pers. He thought that Mir. Shipherd would prefer to have him on the in. side. He told his associates in the en- terprise that Mir. Shipherd must be well treated, but he thought the com pensation of s50,00O given to MT. Ship- herd was extravagant.
 General Tracy said the relation of counsel never existed between himself and anybody in connection with the protected Honduras enterprises. MT. Shipherd read letter written by Frank Loon1is, referring to General Tracy and himself as counsel for the Honduras company.
 General Tracy said that MT. Looinis
 may have thought that was counsel, but l never intended to create in MT. Loomiss mind the idea that my reia- ton was that of counsel"
 After further testimony in the same line, the hearing was adjourned until next Saturday

 The aggregate of the capitalizations of the sixty-four national banks in greater New York is barely $100 ,000,0 900. Two banks only are capitalized at $lO.- OeO, GOO each--the National City and the National Bank of Comerce. Tho great est bank in the world, the Bank of England, has capital of 14.563,o0O pounds sterling or about $2,16S,Oe0. The Bank of France has capital of 1s2.500.000 francs, or about s36. .5oo. .o00. The combined capitalizations of the Bank of France. the Deutsche Bank of Berlin. the Bank of Spain, the Bank of England and the Banque Imperiale Ottomans. the government bank of Turkey falls far short of $1 ,00e, 900, 600
 When it was reported last month that MT. Morgan intended to organize a bank in this city with a capital of s1Oo. 900. the project was declared to be impracticable by conservative bank ing men because of the national bank ing laws which impose a tax on the capitalization of such institutions.

PRISONER WEEPS;;

Mrs. Lulu Prince Kennedy Suddcn- ly Gives Way and the Proceed
 ingS We're Cut Short.

At this moment Mrs. Kennedy e1vn' way to a fit of crying and vas taken! from the room.
 Bert Prince, who is a travelling mu- sician. has since her incarceration done more, apparently, than any other mern~ Der of the family to make the Lrfson~ CTS situationf bearable. srequently holding concerts in her cell, and Mrs. kenendy has shown her favoritism for him and keen regret that his mana had any connection with the case.
 In the court room Mrs. Kennedy oc- cupied chair at a table with her at torneys and about her daily are grouped her father, her mother. who visited ths prisoner but once since her arrest: her married sister, Mrs. Leon, and the lat ter's husband. Frequently during whole session of court her relatives nay no attention to her. Today when Mru. Kennedy gave vent to her feelings in sobbings. her father tried to quiet her. but Mrs. Prince and Leon ren.ain- ed in their seats, making no effort to comfort the woman.
 
 Charles Diettmeier testified to Bert Prince having forecasted the :nnrdsr. Two days before the murder occurred Diettmeier said Prince accosted him while reading a newspaper account oe Kennedy's suit for annulment of the marriage.
 Prince had remarked: 'You'n read worse than this about him before long.' William Thackery saw Mrs. Kennedy and Bert Prince together in the vicinity of Kennedy's office few hours befoxs the murder, and Alfred Lawson tesfi- lied to seeing Prince there at about the same time with woman he did not know.
 After Mrs. Kennedy had been taken to her cell the jail physician said her condition was not at all serious and that she would be well enough Monday for the trial to be continued.
 There seems no question that tho trial will be continued Monday morn- ing and that It will be rushed, hoth sides being anxious to get the case into the hands of the jury. Indjca- tions are that the trial will last all of next week.

A STORM IN OKLAHOMA
ONE OF MOST sEvEEzE SINCE THE
 OPENING OF STRIP.
Several Persons Killed at Eddy. Rain Fell in Torrents for Many Hours--Fislds of Wheat
 Laid Waste.

Perry. O. T.. June s.-The storr
 which passed over Eastern Oklahoma
 last night was one of the most severe
 since the opening of the strip. A fea-
 ture of the storm was the extent oi the territory covered. Sweeping down from the Kansas State line and cover ing about fifty miles in width, the rain. wind and hail swept over the country as far south as old Oklaho- early in the evening until midnight. The fury of the storm centered In a cyclone at about 6:30 p. m., which fcfmed at a point near the Kansas State line and just on the County lines of Kentucky end Grant, Oklahoma. The twister took southeasterly course and was most disastrous in . space twelve miles square in eastern Kay County. The little town of Eddy was struck and of the twelve or fifteen buildings in the place. all were levsled ton and elevator. Flying lumber was scattered for miles. At Eddy. tiiree persons were kilied--Mrs. Maud Me- Gathey. Louis McGathey. Robert Me- Grimm. InJured-Charles Goldsnith. skull fractured; John McBrain. leg broken: Hugh .Prather. nose broken; Judge Mcwilliams. head crushed: How ard flanagan, head badly crushed; 1; Ruby Higinbothen, face crushed and internal injuries: A. D. Evans. leg broken.
 It is reported that two persons were killed at Billings. but this cannot be verified.
 The track of the cyclone between Eddy and Tonkawa. a distance of about eight miles. was laid waste. Five farm houses with barns and outbuild- ings were blown away. but the occu- pants all escaped without injury. Fine fields of wheat in the midst of harvest were laid waste. The tail-end of the tornado fell with terrible force upon Tonkawa. Thirty dwellings and bus mess houses were scattered like so much loose lumber. The citizens of the town had been watching the advance of the tornado and had sought shelter in caves and cellars. No fatalities are reported at this point, and. strange to say, only few persons received even a scratch. few miles from this point the tornado seemed to go up in the air and the country below did not suffer much from the storm except by wash outs. a stiff wind and hai1 which dam aged wheat and fruit.
 The financial loss by the storm is about $100 900.
