wicked Moulin Rouge was depicted on the
screen In a glow of seductive hues. The
suburban restaurants also came in for
goodly portion of the discourse. The Cha

MR.. CAGES REPLY READY.
His Explanation of Recent Deposits
of Public Funds.

Secretary Gage has completed his reply
TO the sulzer and Allen resolutions of en-
| quiry passed by the House of Representa-
tives. This resolution calls for Information
| regarding the deposit of public money in
the National. City Bank of New York. and
the transactions connected with the Han
over National Bank.
1t was reported last night that one fea-
ture of the forthcoming report would be a
statement to the -cffect that Government
money deposited in a national bank, ac-
cepted by the President as a safe deposi-
tory. is still Government call money, and
not funds for extended investments. The
Secretary of the Treasury by so depositing
funds received through collections from
internal revenue or from the sale OF Gov
eminent property, the report will say, does
not constitute transfer of the control OF
such funds to private hands. The money,
in other words. deposited in the National
City Bank and in the Hanover National
Bank, of New York. is as easily at the
disposal Of the Government, according TO
the view taken in the report, as though
placed fer safe keeping in the sub treasury
Placing fair Interpretation upon the
information obtained concerning the forth
coming report. the National City Bank and
the Hanover National Bank. of New York,
by virtue of being chosen as repositories
of public funds are made, temporarily,
adjuncts of the United States Treasury.
From the same source II was learned
that another paragraph of the report will
show that the money received for The
sale of the New York custom house was
paid into the Treasury as required by law.
Proof will be brought forward in the shape
of documents to show that the transac-
ton was Legitimate and straightforward
from the formal agreement TO sell the
property to the final deposit OF the money.
Regarding the question of choosing one
or more repositories for the Government
funds. Secretary Gage will put the matter
entirely on a basis of practicability and
convenience, as already expressed In sew
eral recent interviews. 1t is not expected
that anything new or important. apart
from what has already been said publicly.
will be suggested along this line.
The report will include an exhaustive
statement OF facts, and an enumeration OF
the reasons that prompted the course taken
in depositing the money. The report Will
be somewhat voiuniinous. Secretary Cages
reply directly TO the resolution OF enquiry
Will be about 2,s0o words. but to this will
be appended resume of all the documents
bearing on the subject. These consist of
a mass of correspondence recsipts, voueh
ers. etc. all OF which will be described in
the appendix OF the reply. AS whole. ii
Will be full explanation of what was done
with reference to depositing funds in New
York banks and the reasons for adopting
such an unusual course. The report. which
is now completed, will be transmitted TO
Congress today

The Last Round.

Round s-The betting had 1opped back
again in McGo-ern's favor. Terry rushed
into the mill without delay. Gixon's face
was swollen and his mouth vas bleeding.
McCovern rushed him 10 Tie ropes. where
George slipped down. Terry helped him
up and went at him again with tremer-
dous power. Dixon nailed him on the law
but it had no effect. McGovern was faster
and stronger than before In a :3ard cllnch
he wrestled Dixon 10 the floor and the
champion looked up at his opponent in
astonishment. McGovern was a tiger the
moment George got upon his feet He
rained in the blows with tremendor-
strength and fBally, with a left hook on
the Jaw, followed by a body punch. he
knocked Dixon TO the floor. The champion
look a count and when he got up he was
weak. McGovern hit him in the stomach
and he fell again without a blow. Twice
more Dixon was knocked down, but he
was game and got up with a faint smile
upon his face. He still had Dover and
swung desperate left TO the Jaw. But
Terry was after him with frightfuI blows
and knocked him down again. Finally.
Tom O'Rourke, seeing that ii WIS all up,
threw up the sponge, for he dit not want
TO see the champion punished any further.
Just then the bell rang and Dixon tried
to skip to his corner as he used to do in
the old days, but he was so weak that he
could scarcely stand.
The crowd Jumped up and began TO veil
like Indians. Seat cushions were thrown
In the air and into the ring McGovern's
seconds hugged him and one Of them kissed
him. Dixon. realizing that be was beaten,
took his misfortune like man. With his
face swollen and bleeding he walked over
smilingly TO the new champion and shook
his hand. Just then Joe Walcott, the we'll
known weltcr weight who had been Dixon's
chum for years, jumped into the ring Sew
eral policemen grabbed him and he showed
fight. He was not looking for trouble,
however. but merely wanted to congratu-
late McGovern. After he had done so he
burst into tears and walked over TO Dixon
corner. the picture Of misery. Then both
pugilists were hurried to their dressing
rooms and the crowd slowly filed out, sat
