The King gave him a diamond scarfpin. Among the support of Miss Terri and Hicks was | Holbrook Blinn, who was very proud of | being the first man actor to be summoned by the King. Blinn vs the King's a pearance is remarkable in contrast with the current reporis of his ill health.

LONDON, Dec. 2—The Times in its | financial article, discussing the copper po- sition, says it thinks-it very improbable | ! that the Amalgamated people have cngi- | neered the fall in copper prices in order | ) | to force other mines to join the combina- 2 tion, because such 2 policy, even if suc- 0| cessful, would be dangerous, inasmuch as | it would have the effect of depreciating 4 | curities which the Amalgamated group is % | anxious to keep up. % | The Times is of the opinion that the 5% | Amalgamated Company only endeavors 3 | to sell copper when its managers believe # | it is useless to try to maintain the corner any longer, or when they believe it in- convenient 'to_lock up so much money in | one article.

It is expected the Pope will consent to be the young Prince’s godfather. He will be chrigtened next Tuesday. His name will be Alfonso Andrew. A royal decree has conferred the order of the Golden Fleece and other decorations on the ' new born baby. | e |KING EDWARD ENJOYS | GONCERT GIVEN BY SOUSA | | Great Leader and His Band Play oy Royal Command at Sand- ringham.

More Than Twelve Thousand - Institutions With a Capi- tal of Over a Billion. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.—The annual re- | port of William B. Ridgeley, Comptroller of the Currency, has been prepared for transmission to Cengress. The ‘report | starts with a detailed statement of the | resources and liabilities of the national banks, as shown by the five reports of condition made in‘response to the call of the Comptroller. In commenting on this | statement the Comptroller says: The authorized capital ‘stock of the 4279 national banking assoclations in existence on October 31, 1901, was $663,224,195, which is a net | nercase durin % There by ba & the year, including 3120,000 of newly orgenized associations, whnich increased their capital stock to -that amount subsequent 1o the date of orgahization The associations which were in existence on Octo- | ber 21, 1900, increased their capital stock dur- ing the year to the extent of $21,815,0. There was g decrease of capital stock of $8,040,000 by voluntary liquidations. On Qctober 31, 1901, the outstanding circulation - of. national banks amounted to §339,552,715, an -increase for the year of $28,219,447, and since the passage of | the act of March 14, 1900, of $105,806,485. t The Comptroller has prepared ~tables showing the aggregate resources of na- tional, State savings banks, private banks ! and loan and trust companies from re-| ports made to him or obtained from other | sources. The result of this investigation | shows the existence of 12,972 banks of all kinds in the country, with an aggregate | capital of $1,138,04: surplus and un- | its of §093,465,095 and_ $270,85 253 respectively; deposits, $8,619,285,110, and loans and discounts, $6,491,630,743. Banks in New Possessions. Statistles obtained from one national, three other incorporated and two private banks in Hawail; three incorporated banks in Porto Rico and seven incorpo- rated banks, including branches, in the 5 institutions in these new terri show an aggregate cap- surplus and undivided deposits, $23,018,602 and of sixteen torial possessions, ital of $4,313,97 profits, $L6 loans, '$13.908, Under the various acts of Congress 6006 | banks with an authorized capital of $79,- | 4 | | | | | | { ,682 have been organized, of which 4276 | were in active operation at the close of | the t year, 1340 in voluntary Hquida- | tion and finally closed. Geographically the largest number of‘ banks chartered during_the report vear | were organized in the Middle States | In the Pacific States, including Hawail, | fourteen banks of the smaller class were | crganized, with aggregate capital of $36),- | 000, and twelve of the larger class, with | $1,800,000 capital. | During the last session of Congress a | bill to provide for the extension of the | charters of national banks passed the | House of Representatives, but failed to | receive consideration in the Senate. | Comptroller Ridgeley urgently recom- | mends that this bill or a similar measure | be enacted into law. { Comparing the volume of business of | the savings banks of the United States | with those of the European countries in' charge of receivers or | the report shows that in the matter of de- | posits the United States, as for years! past, stands at the head. The banking power of the United States since 1890 | shows an ihcrease of 121 per cent. Ag-| gregating the banking power of the | Tnited Kingdom and the .United States | with the estimated power of Continental since 1890 is shown of 60 per cent. Money Needlessly Locked Up. In commenting on the present system of sub-treasuries the Comptroller calls at- tention to the disadvantages and derange- ments its operationse cause in our finan- | cial matters, and sa. | There could be no better filustration of this | than its operations in the last few months. | This ™ been to needlessly lock up and take | out of circulation vast sums of money just at | a time when it will be badly needed for mov- | ing crops and transacting the regular busin of the country. If the Secretary of the Treas- | ve more of the money collected by th Government deposited with the national bank: nd kept there until needed, it can be done under such regulations, restrictions and super- vision gs to insure the Government against loss and give relier from the present system. Referring to the criticism which has! been made of the act of March 14, 1900, to the effect that it does not properly | safeguard the gold standard, but leaves | it possible for the Secretary of the Treas- | ury to practically undo the effect of the act by departmental action and regula- | tion without further legislation, the | Comptroller says: If the act can be made ‘stronger by amend- ments and the gold standard of velue rendered more secure from any future uncertainty it | should be done without any delay. Since the passage of the act of March 1, | 1990, the total amount of circulation which all | the national bank: ve outstanding has been | increased from $254,026,230 to $859,382,715, an in- crease of $105,806,230, or over 41 per cent. The provisions of the act have also added somewhat to the elasticity of the national bank currency. It, however, leaves much to be de- sired In the way of elasticity, the lack of which is the greatest fault of our national bank ls- sues. Congress has already had under discussion and consideration various measures for the | modification of the national bank currency. There is much discussion on the subject by | bankers and financlers and many plans are | urged for adoption. Somewhere between the views of the ardent advocates of asset cur- rency and those wWho oppose it with vehemence as unsafe and unsound in every respect, there should be found rafe middle ground. Ee—————————— PRESIDENT CONFIRMS A SENTENCE OF DEATH Private Daniel Healy Must Die for Murdering a Sergeant in the Philippines. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. — President Roosevelt has confirmed a sentence of death imposed by a general court-martial convened at Nueva Caceres, Philippine fs- lands, upon Private Daniel Healy, Com- pany C, Twenty-seventh Infantry, who was tried for and convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged. This is the second instance since Roosevelt entered upon his duties as President ef the United States wherein a death sentence imposed upon an American soldier has been ap- proved by him. In but one case did the late President McKinley sign the death warrant of a soldier of the United States— that of Phineas Ioutz, an.Ohio soldier, who murdered his Filipino sweetheart. It is said at the War Department that Healy’s crime was the shooting of a ser- gexanl of his company while the latter was asleep. —_— ARMY AND NAVY OFFICERS NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE Cemmission on Municipdl Laws and Regulations at Manila Decides Against Them, MANILA, Dec. 1.—The commission on municipality laws and regulations are about to change the terms of office for municipal councilors. It has decided that members of the United States army and navy cannot vote. In the approaching elections at Tloilo, Panay Island, there are four candidates for the Mayoralty and fifty-seven candi- dates to fill six vacancies among the city councilmen. In these elections the Amer- jcan candidates will probably be elected by the solid American vote.

LONDON, Dec. 2.—“Buller's” Sunday passed without serious incidents. The Government had taken every precaution to prevent disturbances. This included the reading, at three parades last week, of a speclal order in the military regu- lations which forbids officers or soldiers from “taking part in any meetings, dem- cnstrations or processions for party or political purpose: A large body of police, many of whom were mounted, were stationed along the line of the procession and notably in front of the War Office. The trades unions and workingmen's so- cieties, with bands and banners, assem- this after- noon. There were thousands of specta- tors. Owing to the difficulty of marshal- ing the large bodies of men the procession was late in starting. It was headed by a huge banner on which was a portrait of General Buller. The procession traversed Northumberland avenue, Pall Mall, St. James street and Piccadilly to Hyde Park. T'he windows of clubiand, and especially of the service clubs, were crowded with sightseers. At Charing Cross several mounted po- lice rode up to the head of the proces- sion and attempted to seize a plaster bust of General Buller. The man carrying the bust dashed it to the ground. This inci- dent caused much indignation, but the leaders were able to curb and restrain the paraders, some of whom wished to attack the policemen. Opposite the War Office there was much groaning and cries of ‘“shame” from the men in the procession, but otherwise the proceedings were without incident. ‘When Hyde Park was reached it was almost dark. Here speeches from several platforms representing England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Devonshire and the Col- onies were made. The confusion was so great as to render the speakers almost inaudible, but amid a roar of cheers a resolution of sympathy for General Bul- ler was proposed and adopted with great enthusiasm and a wild waving of hand- kerchiefs and hats. Features of the demonstration were the passing of collection boxes for a work+ ingmen’'s memorial to General Buller and ihe large sale of buttonhole portraits and favors of the general. It is estimated that at least 50,000 people were present at the d®monstration in Hyde Park. This makes it the biggest thing of its kind which has occurred for many years. TO0 PICTURE SUFFERINGS OF THE CHINESE COURT Mcngolian Official Asks That Details - of Flight From Peking Be Published. PORT TOWNSEND, Dee. 1.—According to Oriental papers brought by the steam- ship Glenogie, a high official of the Chi- nesé Government has memorialized the throne to publish an illustrated ' book showing the sufferings of the court dur- ing its memorable flight from Peking, and asked that the book be circulated throughout China, so that the people of iue embpire can see what they were re- sponsible for in countenancing the Boxer uprising.

He has other swords in his bag- gage. He started to leave the pier before | his trunks had been examined and O. K.'d and was turned back. He protested that | he was the representative of ‘“ze great Menelik, ze King of Abyssinia.” He was told he would have to take his turn with the other passengers unconnect- ed with African royalty. He sald he could not understand why anybody connected with the court of Menelik should be treat- | ed that way, but he had to submit. He | said he was on his way to Haytl, partly on business for his King and partly on pleasure.

Resolutions denouneing the policy of this Government in allowing the exporta- tion_of horses and mules to the British in South Africa; denouncing the deten- tion in reconcentrado camps of women and children, and extending sym- pathy to the Boers now in the fleld were unanimously adopted and will be seat to President Roosevelt, with the request | that he offer the friendly mediation of this country to the combatants.

After Regaining Freedom They Re- join the Fighting Forces. LONDON, Dec. 2—A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Pretoria gives indica- tion why, with continuous captures, the Boer forces do not seem to diminish. The dispatch says the Boers are con- stantly escaping from the concentration camps and towns to rejoin the fighting | forces, and that measures will have to be taken to stop this leakage. The Boers in the towns are still irreconcilable, says the dispatch, and believe their cause will eventually triumph. CAPE TOWN, Dec. 1.—Sir Gordon Sprigs. Prime Minister of Cape Colony, during the course of a speech at a banquet, said Cape Colony was maintaining in the Cape an army numbering 18,000 men, the bulk of whom were mounted, and that these numbers were increasing weekly. It was a great strain on the treasury, said the Prime Minister, but the Colony was pre- pared to bear it as long as necessary. The rebels were being gradually worn down and the prospect was noc discouraging. BEELIN BOERSE IMPROVES. Reports From the United States In- fluence the Market. BERLIN, Dec. l.—Increased confidence and further gaing were noticeable on the Boerse during the last week. It was the best week in many months, all de- partments scoring advances. The German financial reviews explain the improvements on the Boerse in vari- T'hey all agree, however, that not warrant this improvement. Among the causes named as responsible for the week's amelioration is the great abun~ dance of money, the forthcoming flotation of numerous domestic, foreign and state loans, wushering In an era of greater activity for the banks of emission, and the especially strong Amer- jcan iron market. This market is giying unusual strength to German iron shares. These have also profited from the ex- pected reduction In the price of coal. which was announced yesterday and which amounts, in most grades, to mark per ton. The reduction in coal 1lgo profited the coal shares, though to less degree than the other departments. The reports from the United Sttes ex- ercise an especlally strong influence on the market. The Boersen Courier says these reports constituted the market's | chief impulse, and points to the exces- sive optimism shown by German specu- saying it is a fact that German iron shares since the recent improvement have risen more than United States steel. The other papers attempt to dampen this excessive optimism, and refer to the con- tinued discouraging reports from the iron trade. News from the Lorraine and Luxemburg districts represent business there as growing worse. The Cologne Gazette says the demand for plates has improved, and that producers believe the depression has reached its extreme limit. American _securities were apparently neglected. The money market was the easiest known for years; call loans reach- ed 1 per cent. It was at times almost im- possible to place money, and the abun- dance of money made the monthly settle- ment extremely easy. The Frankfurter Zeitung believes that the rates for money will continue to be low, and that the improvement in the market is likely to continue. Cresceus in Winter Quarters.
