NATIONAL BANKS
ARE PROSPEROUS

New York, July 9.-COmptroller Of the
Currency Dawes is quoted by the
Washington correspondent of the Press
as saying. relative to the condition of
the national banks of the country:
THE latest detailed reports received
from the national banks of the United
States indicate an unusually high de-
gree of prosperity. The condition of the
national banking system can be taken
as a practical barometer of the indus
trial and commercial condition of the
country generally. and therefore the
remarkable showing now being made
by these institutions indicates clearly
that every branch OF American trade
and industry is flushed to a CORE
spondingly high degree.
1.-The resources of the banks are
greater than ever before in the history
of the national system, and the cOndi-
ton of the hanks generally is satisfac-
tory
The present condition of the banks
stands out in strong contrast against
the dark background of the condition
that prevailed some seven or eight
years ago. In 1898 for instance. the
record for bank failures was reached
when thirty-eight of the national banks
went permanently into the hands Of
receivers. During the first six months
of the present year only seven banks
have failed, while during the entire
year of 1900 only five went under.

MAY BE STRONG FIGHT.
Lively Scenes Predicted in Ohio
Democratic Convention Today.

Democratic Convention Today.
Columbus. o., July 9.-The Mclean
kllbourne element at the district
meetings this afternoon secured con-
troll of all the committees and will ac-
cordingly have everything their own
way at the Democratic state conven-
ton tomorrow. They were so strongly
in the majority that there was no fric-
ton.
In the Twentieth and Twenty-frst
districts, which include Cleveland. the
johnson men lad things their way
as much as the Mclean men in the
First and Second districts. which in
clude Cincinnati. But in the rural dis
tricts. the latter element got almost
everything. The controlling element
did not ride rough shOd" over minori-
ties in any of he districts. but when
names were proposed for places on the
committees there were inquiries as to
how they stood and if the replies were
not satisfactory they were excused
in some cases as quickly as jurors, and
in others with ballots.
The MCLeaa-KiIbOuTne element
While unusually courteous. made no
concessions. The old state committee
met. previous to the district meetings
and gave the ticket to the Mclean
Kilbourne men where there were con-
testing delegations and they took all
the districts except those which include
Cleveland, in which. under the unit
rule. they could not control a vote
But the johnson men. after the dis
tTict meetings promptly announced
that they would carry the fight into
the committee on resolutions and then
into the convention tomorrow. for a
finish They have two strong mem
bers Of Mayor Johnson's cabinet at
Cleveland, on the committee on reso-
buttons.
1t is predicted that the convention
viii not reach the order of nomina-
tons until late tomorrow afternoon and
that the proceedings may be protracted
into the night.
With all the efforts of the Mclean
Kilbourne men for harmony. there is
every indication of unusual scenes on
the floor of the convention over minor
ity reports. especially on credentials
and resolutions.
