Gold of Interest.

0OAA Va 1hSCA00Ss
Washington, Nov. 3.-Ellis H. Roberts.
Treasurer of the United States. in open
ing his annual report, says that the mag
nitude of the available cash balance and
the unprecedented holdings Of gross gold
are the striking features of the condition
of the Treasury at the close Of the fiscal
year 1902. The net ordinary revenues for
the year were $5s2, AIS, 2S3, and the expen-
ditures $471, 100, S57, showing a surplus of
SOL, PSI, 376.
In comparison with the previous year
there was a decrease of Us, 207 ,l4 in the
revenue, Offset by falling of of $685.
776, 1876 in the expenditures. While there
was an increase of ,262 in the re-
ceipts from customs, the internal reve-
nues, under the operation of new laws
repeating the war taxes, fell off $S5. 300, 541.
There was a decrease of $32,343, 4S1 in ex-
penditures on account of the War De-
ma rtment and an increase of H,296,l49 in
the cost of the navy, The total receipts
of the year from all sources including
the public debt were $1,062. 1A,o37 and the
disbursements $685., 627,0 41. United States
notes and Treasury notes were redeemed
In gold to the amount of ST., $50, OF
the former, and S1.-74,59o of the latter,
without any impairment of the gold re-
serve of 150,0OO,0oo.
The available cash balance In the
Treasury July /, 1909, was the largest net
balance in our history. 1t amounted to
1861, 1877, 361. The gold reserve Is counted
in as 1t is available for the redemption
of legal tender notes. The sums in Ma
tionaI banks to the credit of the Treas
urer and disbursing officers were $127,-
100. O56. The subsidiary silver, 81, 462, 5S3.
and the minor coin, $919, 4O4. could hardly
be used for large payments nor is the
silver bullion to be reckoned for such
purpose

MASSACHUSETTS,.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 3.-The first word
from the stump in the Massachusetts, po-
liticaI campaign was spoken tonight.
Should the Indian summer weather which
has prevailed for the past few days con-
tinue tomorrow, 1t is believed the total
State vote will run we'll above 400, 900.
Republicans are exceedingly confident and
the Democrats are hopeful. Tho former
claim the State by $1,000. while the lat
ter believe they will elect their candidate
for Governor by 5000 plurality. The pres
ent Congressional delegation stands ten
Republicans and three Democrats. but
this year Massachusetts gains Con-
gresham on the redistricting. Under the
new apportionment the Republicans as
sert that twelve of the party candidates
will win, while the Democrats say that
they will elect at least six out of four
teen Congressman.
The uncertain element in tomorrow's
election is the strength of the Socialis-
tic vote This year a phenomenal in
crease is looked for, and 1t is generally
acknowledged that that gain will be at
the expense OF The Democrats.

NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. s.-The lull before the
opening of the final struggle tomorrow
finds the leaders Of both the great parties
claiming large and in many instances in
creased pluralities for their respective
candidates.
Frank Campbell, Chairman Of the DEM
ocratic State Committee. said of his pre-
vious statement that the State would
give $1,000 plurality for Coler:
ct now raise my figures to $4,000. The
indications are that the election will be
a landslide for the Democratic State tick
ct and 1 would not be surprised IL Mr..
Coler's plurality reached 65.ooo."
Colonel George W. Dunn. Chairman Of
the Republican State Committee. on the
other hand, stands fast to his original es-
innate Of $1,000 plurality for Odell. which
is practically the same as that Of the
candidate himself.
Despite the enormous divergence Of es-
Inmates there is at the last moment prac-
tically no change in the betting. the odds
remaining at to / on Odell.
