TREASURY RESOURCES AMPLE
Unele Sans "strong Bog" Gould Support
Mig Army In China for . Long
Time 60 Come,

Washington, July 25.-The treasury
Is in position to provide large funds
for the Chinese war, II they should be
needed, without any increase of tax
alton or the issue of bonds. The cash
balance continues to hang about $780,
100000. More than siOO, 100000 OF this
amount could be expended without
embarrassment to the treasury, but
1t would be necessary to withdraw the
money from the national hanks, to
which IL has been advanced rs q de-
post, in order to prevent stringency
in the money market. The bank de-
posits now stand Mt $93,143,901. II an
extra session Of congress should be
held and larger army should be nu-
thorized, the present resources OF the
treasury would be adequate to sup
port such an army for n long time to
come. The ordinary receipts promise
to show n large surplus during the
present fiscal year. If the average
cost of fighting soldier, including
complete equipment, is $1,000 per
year, the present surplus would per-
init the increase Of the army by near
ly 100000 men. There is little doubt
that the surplus will approach $780,
100000, unless there is marked re-
taxation of business activity within
the year. This might reduce some
what the importations of foreign mer-
chandise and the payment of internal
revenue taxes.

Washington, July 26.-The post
master general has made public the
report of Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General Bristow who investigated
the Cuban postal frauds. Mr.. Bristow
finds that Neely's entertainments ag-
gregated ut least $i31,7l3 and that
he was justified in recommending the
removal of the director general.
Whether or not the latter was guilty
with Nicely he says there can be no
doubt that in the matter of unauthor-
lied per diem allowances, personal
expenses and warrants cashed and un-
accounted for, he unlawfully nppro-
priated to use the money of the
United States. For this, Mr.. Dristow
says, he believes Mr.. Rathbonc should
be required to answer.

can be no doubt that Admiral Cervera
made the sacrifice with as little de.
struction to human life as possible,

A NARROW ESCAPE.
One of the Wheels of an Engine Breaks
and the Engine Jumps the Track and
Stops on y Bridge

Chicago, July 26.-The passengers
on the Wabash vestibule train which
left Chicago for st. Louis yesterday
afternoon, had narrow escape from
q terrible catastrophe near Custer
park, so miles south Of Chicago at the
entrance of the Kankakee river bridge.
and would doubtless have found
watery graves but for the presence
of mind of Engineer Thomas Ingram,
who sustained u fracture Of the leg.
The train was speeding along Mt 60
miles an hour and was rounding
curve ut the top Of 75-foot em-
bankment within a short distance OF
the Kankakee river bridge, when
one of the driving wheels Of the enc
CINE broke. Instantly the engine left
the track and, by good fortune, con-
tinued pounding along over the ties
instead Of plunging down the embank-
ment. Just as the pilot Of the engine
entered the bridge, the engine came
to n sudden stop. Had II proceeded
20 feet further the bridge would have
given way, precipitating the engine
into the Kankakee river and dragging
the passenger coaches after 1t.
Strangely enough, no coaches left the
track, and beyond severe shaking up
none Of the passengers was injured.
