The Tampa Times makes the follow
ing comment on Treasurer Collins
letter:
/. The treasurer has been keeping
large deposit of public money in
the Ocala bank contrary to law. 1t is
was really part of the tax certificate
fund and could not be loaned out in
accordance with law, il should have
been kept in the treasury vault at Tai
lahassee.
2 1t is probable that a large por-
ton of the $4,000 tied up in the Ocala
bank will be lost, as even the treasurer
admits that the securities which he
holds are of doubtful value"
3. The fact that $4,000 of state
money was in the Ocala bank when
Mr.. Collins went into office four years
ago is no excuse. At that time the
financial condition and reputation of
the 0cala banks were above suspicion.
They were sound institutions at that
time.
4. The treasurer admits that he has
known of the unsound condition OF
the Merchants bank for several
months. The only conclusion that
can be drawn is that the treasurer has
oeen risking the states money to
bolster up an unsound and tottering
institution.
5. The plea of Mr. Collins that the
same misfortune had overtaken a
large number of state treasurers in the
northwest in recent years is too weak
and fallacious to consider. seriously.
Quite number of these officials in
other states have either gone to the
penitentiary or Canada in recent
years, too.
6. Treasurer Collins practically adj
mits that he has done wrong-com-
mitted an error of judgment-and
asks the people of Florida to be pa
tient and bear with him. There is nc
doubt, Mr.. Collins that the people Of
Florida are greatly surprised over recent
Developments; and under the circum,
stances, that they are justified in de-
manding further information in re.
gard to the whereabouts of the re.
naming state funds, which is sup
posed to be from $4,000 to $4,000
They have right to know where it is,
and whether or not any of its securi-
ties are of doubtful value." If every
dollar is judiciously and safely in.
vested and protected it will be salts
faction to the people of Florida to know
1t, when they do know that the remain.
der of their money is safe, forbear-
ance will come with better grace.
Give the people the desired infor-
nation, Mr.. Collins. The Times will
publish it, whether it comes to it from
first or second hands.

The capital is in constant commotion

town near Guanabacoa, and San Fran

Up to Specifications.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 13-Naval
Constructor Dashiell, member of the steel
board, has returned from Bethlehem, Pa,
where he examined the plates made for
the battIe-ship Wisconsin, now under con-
struction at San Francisco. He found
them fully up to specifications, so there
will be no delay on that vessel. Con-
structor Dashiell will now GO to Newport
News, where the work on the battle-ships
Keersarge and Kentucky is practically
suspended on account of tests which cast
doubt on the quality of all the steel fur
nished. 1t is believed that the methods
of working the plates into those ships is
as much at fault as the plates them selves,
and the constructor hopes to devise some
method by which sufficient good material
out of the hundreds of tons on hand may
be selected and the work continued, while
The steel contractors are given an oppor-
tunity to make good the deficiency. The
steel board will consider Constructor
Dashielps report on Friday, and there is
a likelihood that construction may be re-
sumed at Newport News next week.

LONDON, ENG, Jan. 13-The st. James
Gazette says that although it has been the
fashion in England to scott at Secretary
Olney as an amateur diplomat he seems
likely to leave mark upon the interna-
tional system of the civilized world.
Referring TO the reply which Secretary
Olney is alleged to have made to the
Russian Minister at Washington, in
answer to the question whether the treaty
was offensive and defensive, that in the
ordinary diplomatic acceptance OF tire
term it is not treaty of defense and
offense, but an agreement with Great
Britain in support of the Monroe doctrine,
the St. James Gazette says: The aSsump-
ton is somewhat hastily made that the
United States will exchange her tradi-
tional friendship for Russia for a close
general alliance with England. We could
wish for nothing better, and would be
prepared to recognize almost anything IN
reason if it could get the two great ma
tions of Anglo Saxon stock into line
against the world.
The Morning Post regards the treaty as
rather experimental, and takes excep-
tons to article VIII of the agreement,
providing for the appointment as one of
arbltrators OF judicial of1cer OF any
State or Territory involved in question
at issue. "As American politics is con-
stituted," the paper adds, ''there may
always be an anti British element on this
tribunal on any question affecting do
minion or frontier"
The Chronicle prints an interview with
Hon. Richard K. Dobell. Speaker of the
Canadian House of Commons, in which be
says that Canada would rejoice at the
com pletion of the Anglo American arbi-
tration treaty, and that the present Cana
dian Cabinet would do everything posi-
BILE to complete the good work, so that
Canadians as well as Englishmen will live
with the United States as friends.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
News says that France is rife for similar
agreement with the United States.
A Berlin dispatch TO the Standard says
it is not likely that the Continental
powers will enter into an arbitration
agreement with the American Republic.
The Boersen Courier expresses the
opinion that the treaty i'm poses such obIi-
cations upon the United States as should
prevent her from tolerating future fill
clustering expeditions to Cuba.

Chances of Madden and Mason for tn
Illinois Senatorskip.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Jan. Is. - At q
meeting of the Repu blican bers of
the House and Senate held this afte moon
it was decided TO call the caucus onUnited
States Senator tomorrow night. This
was the time originally fixed, but in the
last day or two there had been differences
among the supporters of candidates re-
garding the expectancy of having cau-
Gus in advance of the joint session of the
which is to be held a week from to- NOR
row. The caucus agreement is claimed as
victory for Alderman Madden, who
wanted an early date. The anti Madden
men brought out a new Senatorial candi-
date to-day, William II. Harper OF Chi
cago who was formerly member of the
Legislature.
The committee of Chicago citizens, who
are here working night and day TO accom-
! plish the defeat of the leader of Chicago's
Common Council, declare that they have
no candidate and are against Madden on
principle only. After meeting this after
noon they made the positive statement
that Madden was beaten; that he had only
43 votes to Mason's 50, Hit and Carr hav-
| ing each, Alerton 4, doubtful 8, with
Allerton and Mason leanings. The Cook
/ County machine, which is behind Mad
den, is said to admit for the first time

and Mason
