LONGS EULOGY ON M'KINLEY.
Personal characteristics of Our La"
mented President Feelingly
Set Forth.

Secretary of the Navy Long writes
in the November Century of the per
sonal characteristics of President
Mckinley, with whom his relations
were very intimate. Mr.. Long says
of the late president that he had no
enemies, because she would not cher
ish enmity nor make retaliation"
'I never saw man with such an even
and unruffied temper. During the years
In which was with him. under the strain
of war, In the heat Of the congestion of
closing congresses, under the pressure for
place, 1 never heard him utter an impatient
word. He never scolded nor whined. He
never showed irritation, neither at the cab
met board. nor, so far as know, in sep
arate conversation with its members
Mr.. Long likens the late president
to his great predecessor Lincoln in
many ways. Like Lincoln, Mckinley
was, he tells us, accustomed to
preface the serious business of cabi-
net meetings with humorous anec-
dotcs of fine. quality. His personal
habits were extremely simple and
unassuming. Mr.. Long speaks of him
as "the very ideal of serenity and de-
liberation" and says that only once
did he see him in state Of nervous
excitement. That was during the
events leading up to the Spanish war,
which he made every effort to avoid.
His excitement manifested itself in
his repeatedly sitting for moment,
then rising, then sitting again"
1t is Mr.. Longs opinion that Mr..
Mckinley met greater problems Of
administration ''than any since Lin
coins time" and that on the whole
he was more fortunate in escaping
bitter criticism than his predeces-
sors, and notably more so than Lin
coin. But we must not forget that
Lincoln was at the head of q nation
divided against itself, while McKin-
ley was the chief magistrate Of q
united people waginga war of liberia
ton against . foreign fos.-N. Y

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
recommendations Made I'm the Re-
port Of the Second Assistant
Postmaster General.

Washington, Nov 4.-The annual
report of Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General William s.. Shallenberger
urges regular, direct fast mail serv-
ice between the Pacific coast and the
orient, the reestablishment of pneu-
matte tube service generally and the
closer separation of city mail by
postalclerks on railway trains rather
than by clerks of the mailing division
after its arrival in the general post
Office.
The post Office department has no
contract for direct mail service be-
tween the Pacific coast and the Phil
ippines, mails being carried by gov
eminent transports or by steamers
to Hong-Kong and thence by steam
ers of other countries to Manila.
1T now seems probable" says the
report, shat IL this government
should withdraw it's transports, as
may be done at any time, with the
understanding that its passengers
and fast freight traffic, together with
the increasing volume of it's mails,
might go to the steamship company
that would submit the most satisfac-
tory proposal for quick and regular
service, a favorable contract could be
secured. The mail service and COM
mercial interests would be greatly
advanced by fast mail steamers adj
herring strictly to schedule time be-
tween the Pacific coast and Manila,
and calling at other ports at Irregular
intervals, under contract with this
government"
The request for 100000 appropria-
ton for pneumatic service Is re-
newed, as a basis for the beginning
of the service which, when fully es-
tablished, it is stated, will involve an
annual expenditure of approximately
100000. The department expresses
its opinion and that of the commits
sion of experts that investigated the
subject that the outright purchase
of the system should not be consid-
cred by congress pending more
complete test.
The report shows that on June 30
last there were 267,357 miles of star
route service, 1S3,358 of railroad
routes, 45,779 of railway post Office
car routes and almost 5000 miles Of
electric and cable car routes.

THE NATIONS FINANCES.
Report Of Treasurer Roberts On the
Condition OF Uncle SANS
Treasury.

L
Washington, Nov. 1.-Hon. Ellis H.
Roberts, treasurer OF the United
States, in his report of the transac-
tons of his Office during the last fiscal
year, says that the treasury was never
stronger than at the close of that
period. The operations, which were
of the first order, both in variety and
magnitude, resulted in noteworthy
changes in the paper currency, as well
~ steady and healthful growth Of
gold in the treasury and in the gen.
eral stock.
The net ordinary revenues for the
year were s5s7,6s5,3 1897, an increase Of
$20,444,4s5 over those of 1900, which
were the next highest recorded. The
increase came from each of the heads
of resource. but chiefly from internal
revenue. On the side of the expendi-
lures, the total of $509, 967, 353 has been
exceeded only four times, in 1863, 1864,
1865 and 1890. The surplus of $77.717.-
9S4 was slightly under 100000 less
than in 1900. Inclusive of the transac-
tons affecting the public debt, the ag-
gregate receipts were $1.146, 4s9 ,306.
and the aggregate disbursements
81 OFT, 063,052. For the first quarter OF
1902, although the act of March 2, 1901,
was operative, reducing the revenue,
the receipts were only $3,417, 900 less
than for the like period of 1901, while
the expenditures for the same months
were reduced by almost exactly $20.-
600, 1000. ~
The reserve of s15o,ooO,oOo in gold
required by the financial law of 1900
has been kept intact by the daily sub
stitution of gold coin and bullion out
of the general fund for the notes re-
deemed. These redemptions, which
amounted to $24,6o7,s 1858 for the year.
do not indicate any preference for
gold over paper, but simply the de-
sire for large denominations, which
are most conveniently supplied in
gold certificates. After making GER
tain deductions for items not avail
able in general payments, the free
cash was $156,911 1884, which was dis
tributed among the ten offices of the
treasury and the IL offices of tho
mint, including $1ol,416,973 in the
national bank depositaries.
The monetary stock OF the coun-
try received during the year shows an
increase of upwards of $ss,000,000 in
gold. $37,000,000 in silver coin and
nearly $16,000,000 in notes and GER
tificates. The circulation per capita
was $26.5O July l., 1900; $2s July /,
1901, and $2s.52 October 1, 1901. Up
to the last date, from July 1, 1897.
there was an increase of S463, 100, 45s
in the stock of gold, which was then
estimated at $1,16O,353,7 90, and of
this there was $9Os,71s,436 in circula-
ton in the form of coin or certifi-
Gates. BY October 81 the gold in the
treasury, consisting of the reserve.
the security for certificates and the
sum in the general fund was $542,-
49,, $40, the highest in the history of
the country and more than was ever
held under single control elsewhere
in the world, except once for few
months.

You've been away long time, Bill, an
maybe you have found
Some place that suits you just as well with
lots OF friends around;
You don't remember much. guess, Of how
we used to play
About the home when we were boys before
you went away; aN
An so thought I'd write tonight and
tell you what they've done;
It's kinder hard. but comes, guess. at last
to everyone.
It want the house / liked so much, but
somehow everything
Kept tellin' me of other times when all US
boys would bring
To that old home a merry heart that made
of every room
A CHEEKY place. but lately all OF that has
changed to gloom.
Twas mothers death. OF course, an so !
guess we're free to roam.
1t sorter hurts TO write II, BILL but no

The Chicago a Eastern Illinois.

Within the last few weeks considerable
interest has been manifested in the Chi
oago d Eastern Illinois, and the interest
was increased through reports that the
company expected to receive control Of the
Evansville & Terre Haute and effect
closer alliance with the Louisville & Nash
Vile. While it is stated that at the meet
ing last week no new extensions or combi-
ne tons were acted on, il has leaked on.
that remarks were made which make il
quite apparent that a no distant day the
Chicago Eastern Illinois will control at
least the Evansville * Terre Haute road.
The company owns 6SS miles OF main line
and branches and has trackage rights over
tNenty-three miles additional, making a to-
tai of III miles. The past year both its
preferred and common stock have been in
creased S1000.00O. and the former now
stands at IS $50 900 and the latter at 81 19S 000
The dividend payable July ! is designated
at per cent. semi-annually and l per cent
extra. In the fiscal year 1900 the road
earned a surplus of $640, 900 applicable to
dividends on the common stock, as against
s4l7OO0 the previous year Returns have
been made up for the present month of
the present fiscal year. and after fixed
charges are paid there is available for divi-
dend on preferred and common S917 900, as
against S955.000 the same months in 1900 and
month will show a handsome increase In
upper railroad circles an impression pre-
walls that sooner later the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois will be a part of the Big
Four system, and also the Evansville &
Terre Haute
