are repealed. The taxes imposed by the.
oleomargarin law go Into effect to-day
Secretary Gage predicted before he re-
tired from the treasury that the close of
the fiscal year 1s01--19O2 would show a
surplus OF nearly 500. 900 900 on hand. He
was not far from the fact, for the surplus
for the fiscal year Is about ss1,ooo.0oo.
The existence OF surpluses, while evil
dence of the ability OF people to pay
taxes, and while more comfortable con-
dition than that brought about by a
heavy deficit Is not evidence of the
strictest economy in public expenditures.
If certain amount of revenue Is desired
it is possible for experts to calculate
within few points the kind and amount
OF taxation which will produce the
amount wanted. If some extraordinary
and unforeseen contingency arises re-
quiring larger expenditure, the issue of.
short term treasury notes would meet the
necessity, but such necessity is not likely
be miscalculation to the amount OF $780,,
000,o00 to 500, 100000 as to the amount of
money needed by the government. Sur
pluses are either piled up as SO much idle
money in the treasury or used to redeem
bonds before maturity at high prices, for
the fact that the government has gone
into the market to buy bonds acts as
stimulant to boom the price, and it re-
suits in the withdrawal Of bonds used as
security for national currency issues and
a corresponding reduction Of the amount
Of currency in circulation. This is detri-
mental to business, which needs the
circulation. The boarding of money in
the treasury during healthy business
expansion like the present, when money is
in demand for legitimate purposes, is not
advisable. It is not good business prac
tice.

New York, July 1.--While beginning to-

taxes. which have put $4,000. 900 In his
treasury annually for several years, and
the banks, national state and savings
are to feel the effect Of this reduction in
their expenses, together with various
sother lines of business enterprises, the
national banks have not been eased by a
decision rendered by Judge Lacombe, in
the federal court Of Brooklyn, holding
that the treasury department must not
repay the tax which was levied on the un-
divided profits of one bank. 49,.
Judge Lacombes decision was given in
the case of the Leather Manufacturers
bank, brought as a test to ascertain If the
treasury department could collect $154
which was levied as war taxes on undi-
vided profits Of ST, 796 held by the bank.
When congress passed the internal rev.

surplus funds in the various banks OBJ

facturers' bank was the only one to make
the payment. Having done this it brought

New York, July 1.-Joaquin Dorticus, a
Cuban inventor, is working on new auto
mobile and if it will do one-half of what
he claims, he will have performed some
thing approaching a miracle in electrical
and mechanical construction. For the
new machine Mr.. Dorticus claims safety,
practically unlimited speed, low cost for
maintenance and many safeguards against
accident. Says the inventor:
This machine can be operated for five
eighths of one cent a mile. It can run 150
miles on one charge, srecharge in fifteen min
utes and run the same distance back; can
stop on the road and electrically charge an
other machine that has become useless; can
climb hills. and it runs will not only
develop electrical energy enough to run, but
will store up enough energy to use 1000
candle-power search light. If one wheel gives
out the other three will run it. If two give
out the other will run it; If three give out
the remaining will bring it home. 1t
all lies in new application Of an old prin-
ciple, every engine has to have fly wheel
as balance. The usual electrical machine
has an engine and huge wheel. From the
engine gears and belts run to a dynamo and
revolve its armature and develop the power.
I have made the four wheels of my automo-
bile the fly wheel of the engine. AS the
cells revolve they generate power. - -.

The Texas Senator Chokes Beve:
i. <..,. ridge, of Indiana. :. .@-...-.
SOME SENATORIAL COURTESY
The Hoosier refused to Retract
Some Remarks and Was -.
Pinned to His Seat.

Washington, July 1.-The, serenity. of
the dying session of congress was shocked
late. yesterday afternoon by a. personal
encounter en- the floor of the senate be-
eridge of Indiana. similar to that on
Feb. % when :Tillmen and McLaprin Of
South Carolina had their memorable set
to-. The affair did not occur until after
the senate had adjourned and while the
doors: were yet closed after an executive
session, so that it was. witnessed by only
the few senator's who remained and the
officials who were on duty on the floor.
The affray was not conducted according
to the rules laid down by the Marquis Of
Queensbury and no blows were exchanged,
fingers instead Of fists being used.
Mr.. Bailey had become incensed at what
he considered an aspersion by Mr.. Bev-
eridge on his veracity, walked over to
the republican side of the chamber: where
the Indiana senator, ( in wnSenator
fLod dgess. .chairwtalking Messrs, Hanna
and Spooner was seated and demanded
that the latter withdraw the term. Upon
his refusal Mr.. Bailey lost his temper.
exclaiming, -"I'll kill you" He grail bbed
Beveridge by the throat and began to
choke him. -: ~
Mr. Beveridge who lis slight in build and
five or six inches shorter and forty pounds
lighter than the Texan was pinned down
in his chair and had no opportunity to
defend himself. AS soon as the attack
was begun Acting, Assistant Doorkeeper
Layton, who in anticipation of possible
hostilities was standing near by, aided
by Senator Spooner, separated the men.
Mr.. Bailey was so furious in his resist
ance to their Interference that one of
the heavy mahogany desks was broken
and a chair overturned. Mr.. Bailey was
finally led to the democratic cloak room
and shortly afterward returned to his ho-
tel. Mr. Beveridge little later went to
his committee room and rode to his
home. After dinner he attended the the
ater. He is inclined TO make light of the
incident and declines to make state
ment.
MI Bailey last night said he had pub
licly not only sgiven- the senator from
Indiana an opportunity to withdraw the
offensive language but served notice on
him that otherwise it would: be resented.
He considered Mr.. Beveridge's character
iZation OF his statement as "unwarranted"
as a reflection upon his veracity and hon.
or which if not withdrawn should be re-
sented forcibly. There was no other
course open to him in his opinion. He
had therefore after the senate had ad-
iourned gone to Mr.. Beveridge with the
deliberate intention of securing a retrac-
tion or of resenting the language used
by him. He had not intended choking the
Indiana senator <but merely to slap his
face if he persisted in his course. He
had been so enraged, however, when Mr..
Beveridge declined. that he had forgotten
his purpose.

LA Toilette WINNING.

There now seems to be little doubt that
If the La Toilette delegates to the Wis
consin state republican convention 'stay
hitched,'' as they must in view of the
manner of their election, Governor La
Toilette will again be the nominee for
governor. The vigorous, strong -willed
governor, whose personality the Milwau-
kee Wisconsin describes as dynamic, ap-
pears to haverwon his remarkable fight
against >one Of the strongest political
coalitions Wisconsin or any other state
has ever known.
r. The urnal's Madison COR
respondent reported yesterday that the
caucuses in thirty-three Of the seventy
three counties of the state give La Fol-
lette 34S to 202 TOR the stalwarts, with
81 doubtful. Nor can it be said that
these first caucusing counties are the La
Toilette strongholds. 1t is undeniable
that they include counties in which the
stalwarts expected the most sweeping vic
tories and were met with partial or COM
plete defeat. Even in Milwaukee La Fol-
lette gets some fifty delegates where he
was lucky to get any. -.
It will require 533 votes to nominate
and La Toilette should have no great-dim-
Guilty in capturing the difference between
that number and those he already has,
the more especially as his early victories
are bound to have a favorable effect on
the later caucuses.
That it Is not indiscreet to predict the
denomination Of the governor is shown by
the course of the bitterly "stalwart' Mil
waukee Sentinel, which up to last satur-
day had him clicked Yesterday S
Sentinel has a "sorehead' editorial,
which confesses defeat, by talking about
the day of the atonement that will come
in Wisconsin for the party that will In
dulge in "debauch Of this kind
After the governor is renominated,
what? Doubtless some of the bitterness
of the nomintion fight will be carried to
the polls. Perhaps that is the way the
Sentinel would have ''retribution' for the
"debauch'' come.
