MORGAN ORGANIZING BILLION
DOLLAR ANGLO O.AMERICAN BANK

The aggregate Of the capitalizations
of the sixty-four national banks in
Greater New York is barely 500, ,OOO,-
600. Two banks only are capitalized
at $1O,OOO,OOO each-the National City
and the National Bank Of Commerce.
The greatest bank in the world-the
Bank of England, has n. capital of
ETA, ,553, 600 sterling, or about $72, 1885,
600. The Bank of France has a CAPT.
tai of 1S2, 100000 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
bank in this city with capital of
$780, 100000 the project was declared
to be impracticable by conservative
banking men, because of the national
banking laws which impose n tax on
the capitalization of such institutions
August Belmont, the New York rep
resentatives of the Rothschilds, 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.

containing more than 10000 people
each. or the large cities in 1900, three,
New. York, Chicago and Philadelphia,
contain more than a million inhabi.
tants, the same us in 1890, while for
cities having between 100000 and
1,OOO.OOO inhabitants those in 1900

1880. There were no cities In 1900
contaiDing between 100000 and 5OO,.
600 Inhabitants, but at the census OF
1880 there were three cities in this
class. On the other hand, there are
five cities In 1900 with n population of
between 100000 and 100000, but in
1880 there were no cities coming be-
tween these limits OF population. OF
the total number of places in the list
almost One-half, or Abs. contain mora

gregate, 35,S49.516 Inhabitants, as com.
pared with total OF 2G,O70,s2S per.

the state Of New York, which takes
the lead In this respect, seventyseven
per cent OF the people live In the cities

New York, June, 10-According to
the London correspondent Of the
World, 1t is reported tht J. p. Nor
gan is arranging for the establishment
Of a great Anglo-American bank, with
a capital of $1,OOO.OOO,OOO. 1t is said
that it is proposed to abolish all of
the principal financial agencies and
banks already engaged In Anglo
American business. cA Tsa
The proposed institution, It is said,
is intended to be the principal agency
for the already vast and rapidly grow
ing banking transactions between
Europe and America.
Mr.. Morgan is understood to have
associated with him In the stupendous
undertaking not only the principal cap
italists who aided him in the organ
iZation of the United States Steel Cor
poration, but also the Rothschilds. The
World adds: IS
Several times since the panic Of
May it has been reported in Wall street
that Mr.. Morgan intended to organize
bank with $1OO,OOO,OOO capital.
These reports have been invariably de-
MED ut the offices Of ]. P. Morgan &
Co.
The creation Of bank with a capt.
talization of a billion dollars is an un-
dertaking of a nature so colossal that
nothing approaching it has ever been
limited at before.

OKLAHOMA VISITEDs BY
TERRIBLE TORNADO

Wichita, Kan, June 1O.-The most
disastrous storm which has ever Wis
itedcDklahoma 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. If the reports
of damage are correct, including the
damage to crops from wind and hail,
1t will he more than 100000.
The tornado was fiercest at Eddy,
where Bob McGraffin 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. @
It is evident that 1t was not the
same tornado that struck all the places.
1t Is probable that three separate

: At Eddy only two houses remain
standing. 1t was q small town. The
prevalency OF cyclone cellars undoubt.
edly saved many lives.
It is estimated that not less than 16O
houses in Blackwell, Eddy, Billings
and Tonkawa were injured.
The office Of one tornado insurance
company out Of forty-three doing bus
mess in Oklahoma received elevenfel-
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 losses of the forty-three companies
will be something enormous.
J 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

cially severe. In many cases the potn-
toes being literally washed out OF the
ground and the fields flooded 40 badly
as to almost entirely destroy the crop.
Wheat has also suffered heavy dam
age.
In the Vicinity OF Ben ReInk's place
IA number OF large wheat fields were
practically destroyed. the hail literally
moving the grim down. The hail
was as large ns walnuts and covered
the ground TO IA depth OF several
inches.
