INCREASING AVAILABLE ASSETS

WASHINGTON, April %. Especial Telegram
to The BEE. Secretary Fostcr's plan for
increasing the available assets Of the treas
ury is likely 10 meet with material assistance
from source which neither he nor any one
else ever dreamed of, He intonded to force
into circulation as part of his plan the sub
sidlary coin now held in the vaults of the de-
partment "as unavailable assets" Within

ual has placed upon the market a small tin
tube with slot in the top just large
eniu enough ,, to take in Gt lo-cent piece;
the contents aggregate s.. Hundreds of
thousands of these boxes have been sold in
the eastern cities and the result is an almost
unprecedented demand for 10 cent pieces
from the department. One of the officials of
the treasury department estimated today
that the introduction of this new savings
bank has resulted In withdrawing from i'm

War Department Does Not Control.
WAsHISGToN, April 22.-TSpecial Telegram
to THE BEE. General Grant, assistant sec
reJdry vi War, Saiu touuy Juat tue war ue-
partment had absolutely no control whatever
over the apportonment Of funds by the Mis-
souri, river commission. This apportionment
has brought out numerous protests of late.
One of the most emphatic came from Kansas
City, 1t declared that the commission was
dis eliminating against some localities, par
ticul arly that in the neighborhood of Kansas
City, and was favoring other localities re-
mote from Kansas City. General Grant
says that he has written to the pro-
testants stating that in the first
place the apportlonment of the
commission appears to be eminently fair, the
protestants appear to be misinformed upon
the amounts which various parts of the river
are to receive and their protests arise from
misunderstanding. General Grants letter
shows how the amount is distributed along
the river. In conclusion he says that the
Missouri commission is Il creation of congress
over which the war department has no super
vision in the matter of apportionment. The
commission reports to the department and
the machinery of the commission is carried
into effect by the department, but there is no
power to revise the work of the commission.
So far as the war department is concerned
the Missouri river or the Mississippi river
commission could make any arbitrary and
unfair apportionment which they saw fit,
although General Grant believes that such a
condition Of affairs does not exist in the pres
ent case.

They Want Too Much.

Our dispatches the other day contained
synopsis of an answer made by the New
York Cotton Exchange to complaint of
the Liverpool Cotton Exchange that great
deal of the cotton received at Liverpool this
season contained an excessive amount of
moisture, necessitatiDg heavy allowances to
buyers. The Liverpool exchange wanted
the New York exchange and other ex-
changes in this country to frame rules SO
that the losses owing to moisture would be
borne in this country and not in England.
The New York Cotton Exchange ap-
pointed committee to frame reply. The
members of the committee seemed to think
that Englishmen after awhile would want
this country to pay them for taking the
cotton. In their answer to the complaint
they pointed out forcibly. though not with
out touch Of humor, that they did not
know that any rules could be framed
that would prevent cotton from
getting moist in rainy season, but they
did know that a damp cotton brought
damp, low price, They thought the
Englishmen ought to be satisfied as long as
the dampness was taken into account in
fixing the price. They further said that
when cotton was damp or dirty it was well
understood that that was the kind Of cotton
that was being dealt in.
The fact is, the English cotton dealers are
constantly getting more exacting. With
their reclamations and allowances they get
pretty nearly all the profit there is In cot
ton, and If the American dealers were to
continue to yield to their demands neither
planters, factors nor exporters would be
able to make living. The reply of the
New York exchange to their complaint was
in the right spirit. 1t was notification to
them that they must take what they can
get, and that they were disposed to demand
too much.

Not bit of it. " said she; there is too much
benevolence in his face for lawyer. +"
He may be a banker" was the husbands
second guess as he endeavored TO suggest some
occupation that would agree with his wife's inn
preston of the stranger.
Never, never" she protested "a man with
such heavenly expression couldn't content
himself with money getting. His aim in life is
higher than that"
Maybe" said the husband as he began the
perusal of the morning paper. At the next
street crossing where the train stopped an in
quisItive, farmer looking sort of fellow too a

brow and was soon plying him with Questions.

Ingalls, EXPLANATION

Senator Ingalls, thought it necessary to
explain why he went on record against the
cloture rule. Some Of his republican ASSOC
ciates in the Senate have been calling him a
traitor to his party, and others have insinu-
ated that he thought that opposition TO that
rule would help him in his fight for re-elec-
ton. In view of the fact that be is dead
political duck it would have been just as
well, perhaps. If be had maintained digni-
fed silence. He couldn't forgo the satisfac-
tion, however. Of telling the uhlic that those
who were calling him a traitor and dema-
gogue knew very well that he had always
been opposed TO the cloture rule because
they wanted him TO occupy the chair of the
presiding officer of the Senate, and. by
such a usurption Of power as had marked
Speaker Reeds conduct in the House put
the cloture rule through the Senate, and he
had refused. It seems, therefore, that the
force bill senators attacked him not because
he virtually voted against the rule but be-
cause be refused to overstep the bounds of
decency and by revolutionary methods ac-
complish that which could not be done
legitimately.
And be did not hesitate to say that he was
opposed to the force bill. He declared it
violated the spirit, if not the letter, Of the
constitution. 1t subordinated the judiciary
to political control and would have been
productive of untold evils
There is no doubt that Mr.. Ingalls, has the
courage of his convictions. And the feel
ings of those senator's who have been trying
for weeks, and even months, to pass the
force bill could not have been of the pleas
ATTEST kind when they were being told by
one of their own honored leaders that the
bill they had been endeavoring to fasten
upon the country was revolutionary and
subversive of the fundamental principles of
constitutional government.
But although his republican associates did
not attempt to condole with bin upon his
defeat for recollection, when he appeared in
the Senate on his return from Kansas, he
was not wholly without sympathy. Sena-
tor Hampton took him kindly by the hand,
and they talked in sympathetic tones for
quite awhile. There was slight bond of
union between them. They are both vic
tins of the farmers alliance.

Progress Of Reciprocitx.

Evidently Secretary Blaine intends to get
some glory out Of the reciprocity clause of
the Mckinley tariff law. He it was who
had the clause inserted in the law, notwith-
standing the opposition to it of Maj Nc
Kinley and Speaker Reed, and he is going
10 maze it worth something TO himself, even
If it should not be worth much to the
country. He did not favor the Mckinley
tariff. He declared It would not open q
market for another bushel Of corn or
another barrel Of -four, and he had it
amended 30 that a way would be provided
for opening new markets for the products
Of American farmers and manufacturers.
And since the Mckinley bill became a
law he has been engaged in negotiating
commercial agreements. 1t is announced
that be has succeeded in negotiating an
agreement with Brazil, and it is understood
that he is negotiating similar agreements
with Cuba and Vnezeela. Canada also
wants reprocity in trade, and to that end
has made advances to the government at
Washington
if these commercial agreements should
prove TO be beneficial TO the farmers and
VI llAlo l1Is
popularity would be increased. The Nc
Kinley tariff brought about Maj. McKin-
ley's defeat at the last congressional cleo
ton. 1t is barely possible that the reci-
procity clause of that bill may make Mr..
Blaine the next presidential candidate Of
the Republican party. II it should, Mr..
Blaine's superiority as a far-seeing poll
tician would be more conspicuous than
ever.
II is not improbable that there is some-
thing In reciprocity for this country. II
may be the means of greatly increasing
our trade with the other countries of this
continent. The bulk Of the trade of South
America now goes to Europe. 1t should
come to this country, and it will come here
eventually. Reciprocity may hasten its
coming.
But none of the credit for increasing our
foreign trade will be given to the author of
the Mckinley bill. That will go to Mr..
Blaine, who condemned the bill.
