THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
His Recommen dations to Congress Concern
ing the Consular Seal Privilege

His Recommen dations to Congress Concern
ing the Consular Seal Privilege.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.-President Harrl-
son sent to the House, to-day, his message
dealing with the subject of importation of
foreign goods into the United States across
the Canadian border under consular seal.
The President discusses at some length the
treaty obligations which affect the su bject
growing out of the provisions of Article 20
of the treaty of Washington, and arrives at
the following conclusions:
First-That Article % of the treaty of Wash
fngton has been abrogated.
Second-That even II this article was in force
there Is no law in force to execute it,
Third-when in force the treaty imposed no
obligations upon the United States TO use the
concessions as TO transit made by Canada. and
states IN dealing with merchandise imported for
the use of our citizens through Canadian ports.
or passing from one place in the United states
to another through Canada upon the arrival of
such merchandise at our border.
Fourth-That. therefore treaty or no treaty.
the question OF sealing cars containing such
merchandise and the treatment OF such sealed
cars when they cross our border is and always
has been one to be settled By our laws. accord
ing 10 our convenience and our interests, as We
NAV see them.
Fifth-That the law authorizes the sealing of
cars in Canada containing foreign merchandise
imported by our own people from countries not
contiguous China and Japan, aud carried
through Canada for delivery TO such owners.
Sixth-That the law did not contemplate the
passing OF sealed cars 10 any place not port"
nor the delivery OF such cars TO the owner or
consignee TO be opened by him without the SUI
pervision OF a revenue officer.
Seventh-That such a practice Is inconsistent
with the safety of tho revenue.
The statutes relating TO the trans portation OF
merchandise between the United states and the
British possessions should be the subject of re-
vision. The treasury regulations have given to
these laws construction and scope that | do
not think was contemplated by Congress
policy adapted 10 the new conditions, growing,
IN part. out OF the construction of the Canadian
Pacific railroad, should be declared and the
business placed upon basis more just 10 our
people and TO our transportation companies. IL
We continue tho policy OF supervising rates
and requiring that they shall be equal and rea-
sonabe upon the railroads OF the United States.

they may lead TO revision OF the laws upon q
safer and juster basis.

NATIONAL TREASURY VAULTS.
Amount and Description of Their
Contents

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. - There is
probably no more interesting place in
the treasury department to sightseers
than the immense vaults in the treas
urer's office, where so much gold, silver
and United States securities are stored.
The recent immense travel eastward
from the worlds fair, in addition to the
ordinary number of sightseers. has taxed
the capacity of the treasury guides to
the utmost. The question most fire.
quently asked of these guides is the
amonnt OF money stored in the vaults.
For ready answer to these questions,
the office has prepared brief printed
statement, showing the amount and de-
scription of the contents of each of the
eight vaults. These are kept by many
of the tourists as souvenirs of the trip
TO Washington. The figures presented
show that there are stored IN the vaults
a total of $742, 1913, 900, the part consist
ing of coin weighing about 5000 tons.
The following are the amounts and de-
scription of money i'll the eight vaults:
Standard silver dollars, SAC, sec, 900 :;
gold coin, 81, 900; fractional silver,
1888. 600; national bank notes received
for redemption, So, 500. 600; mixed mon
eys received daily for redemption,

CHANDELIERS BIG SCHEME
Looking to the RECOMMENDATION of
Silver

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27. - Senator
Chandler rep, n. H. is about to come
forward with a scheme looking to the
reconciliation of silver. The senator
proposes very radical methods OF bring
ing this about. He contemplates the
introduction in the senate after the re-
converting of congress Of a resolution
which he will advocate, asking the
United States to invite all the countries
of the world, Eastern, Western and
Southern. to attend a monetary confer
ence. The new feature of the proposed
conference is that it shall not be restrict
ed to the European gold standard coun-
tries, but shall include the South Amer
lean and Oriental silver standard coun-
tries. The invitations to the confer
ence are to contain a declaration of the
United. States that the purpose of
the conference shall be the estab-
allshmeut and maintenance of an in
ternatonal ratio, with the specific
declaration added that if such
ratio cannot be agreed upon, it shall
be the purpose of the United States to
adopt single standard, and that stand
ard not gold, but silver. By taking
this extreme position, not as yet advo-
Gated in congresa even by radical silver
men. Senator Chandler thinks the
hands OF the gold standard countries
not now trading extensively with the
Western world can be forced.

Council Chamber Thronged With
His Admirers

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-John p. Hopkins
was inaugurated mayor of Chicago in
the council chamber tonight amid a
throng of representative citizens who
filled the small council room almost to
suffocation. Mr.. Hopkins had expressed
the wish that the Inauguration ceremony
might be simple, but no mayor was ever
installed before greater throng of Chi
cage citizens. He entered the chamber
after the work Of the evening had be-
gun, aud was received with great ap-
plause. Acting Mayor Swift, who was
Mr.. Hopkins opponent for mayor, IN
trOduced him in a graceful speech, to
which Mr.. Hopkins replied at some
length, promising to do adj in his power
to give model administration, and to
uphold the pledges in the platform upon
which he was elected. The mayors
seat was almost hid from view by the
amount of flowers sent in by friends of
the new mayor.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-When the
majority of the committee on ways and
means come together again it is said a
decision will be reached as to what
kind of all income tax will be agreed
upon. Probably the other matters
pending before the committee and
largely dependent upo the propo-
sition will also be agreed upon.
or at least prepared for adjustment.
The committee will haveto decide upon
the TWO reports submitted by the COM
mittee on internal revenue, one by
Messrs. McMillin and Bryan, in favor
of tax on all incomes, includ-
ing individuals, and the other by
Mr.. montgomery, in favor of tax
on corporate investments. Until
this is decided there will be nothing
done about the rate of taxation, although
it is proposed by the McMillin-Bryan
plan to make it per cent upon incomes
OF $1,000 year and upwards. yielding
an estimated reuenue of $50, 600. There
is yet some disagreement over the
rate of tax to be levied upon inher-
tanceS, but the differences are not such
as cannot easily be adjusted. The in
heritance tax will be extended only to
personal property, as it has been found
impracticable to have, real estate in
Guided. A revenue of $4,000, 900, it is
estimated, will be derived from this
source. The tax of S1.50 per thousand on
cigarettes and six cents pack OH play
ing cards, it is thought will yield S., 000,-
GOO, in all, S45, 600, which several
members of the committee think is all
that is to be provided for by
legislation at present. There was
some talk that during the
holidays, the Democrats opposed to the
bill would organize to secure its defeat,
but it does not now look as if anything
would come of it. Several members are
found who declare that they will
not vote for the bill unless it
is amended, but there are those who
really believe that the bill can be de-
feated in the house, though they are
confident that it will not go through
the senate. 1t does not look now as if
the effort to defeat the bill in the house
would have much strength.
