Uncle sans Cash Balance.

Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer OF the
United States, in his annual report
says the magnitude of the available
cash balance and the unprecedented
holdings of gross gold are the striking
features of the condition of the Treas
ury ut tho close of the fiscal year 1902
The net ordinary revenues for the year
were 1862, 478, 233 and the expenditures
s47l, $780, s57, showing surplus of s91, :
2S7, ,376.
The available cash balance in The
Treasury on July 1st, 1902. was the
largest net balance in the nations his
tory. 1t amounted to 1862, 1877, 361. The
reserve in the Treasury vaults on July
1st was a, little over s72, 900, 600. AS
$50, COO, 900 is deemed a fair working
fund. about s22, 900, 900 could be spared.
By October 1st this excess became
s25, 600, 600, and by November lst il
was brought to a trifle over 81, 900, OOC
below the working fund.
Nearly one half of the available cash
balance on July lst was in gold coin
and certificates, Sl03, Sol, 29O o-er and
above the gold reserve of SI50, 600. 600.
and by October 1st it became s136, 1914.
III. By October 1st 1902, the avail.
able cash balance, exclusive of the re-.
serve, was 1921, 253, 1874, and, owing to
the large measures for the relief of the
money market it was reduced by No
vember 1st to S206, 421, ,S7a.
While the accounts of the public debt
on their face show an increase of SIS,
2S3, ,5l2 in the total of the debt, if al.
lowance be made for the increase OF
s57, 624, 400 in gold certificates the
national obligations will be shown to
have been diminished by s42, $40, sss
during the fiscal year.
To the general stock Of money in the
country an addition of $50, 1875, 681 was
made during the fiscal year. OF this
s67, 955, ,52T was in gold coin and
bullion.
The advance in circulation in the
volume of gold, including certificates,
within twelve years, by the large sum
of S433, 703, 5l6 is the measure of the
greater strength of our circulation.
The addition during the past fiscal
year was SCI, 1856, Ia. The increase in
the future can hardly be less than
$40, 600, 900 to $50, 900, ,00O year. The
mines, the report says, are thus con.
hrming the gold standard steadily.

Many Employees of a shirt Factory Quit
Work Monday.
Salisbury, Md, Nov 4. More than
so women operatives and men ironers
at the Salisbury shirt factory walked
out yesterday and started trouble
which may last some time. Two weeks
ago the ironers stnrteda union, and the
women sent in their. names Saturday to
become members.
The strike leaders-Misses Davis,
Hudson, Hayman, Tindall and Morris
were told, when they arrived at the
factory yesterday morning, that their
services were no longer needed. When
they left the factory they were followed
by the 81 ironers, and at 10 o'clock 30
more of the operatives left the build
ing. At O'clock they were Joined by
10 or Is more, ana they all marched
down Main street to the lodge room of
the American Mechanics. where they
formed themselves into labor union.
A committee was appointed to have q
conference with the managers of the
shirt company to try to arbitrate the
difficulty, but it was unsuccessful in
the attempt. The factory is operated
by Wiel, HASKELL & Go. OF New York,
and about $50 persons are employed.
The factory is now running with only
about dozen opertives in the starch
ing rooms.

DELAWARE'S SENATORSHlPS.
Governor HUM May Yet Call an Extra
Session OF the Legislature.

Governor Hum May Yet Call an Extra
Session OF the Legislature.
Washington, Nov. 4. The Washing.
ton Post says:
"A cabinet officer who is informed
about the situation in Delaware says
that if the now Legislature in that
State elected today should be Demo-
cratic, Gov. Hum will call an extra
session of the old Legislature, and that
two Republican Senators will be chosen.
There has been talk of calling an extra
session before the electi IN, but this
official says it was MT done because
arrangements could not be fully made
in the short time.
the old Delaware Legislature will
be in authority over matters within its
jurisdiction, if called together, till
January lst, and while the proceeding
would be very unusul to select two
Senators after an election in which the
people had expressed themselves for
another party, there is every evidence
that the arrangement will be carried
out rather than permit two Democratic
Senators to be chosen. -

William Michael Byrne vas the Union

Mr.. Handy and Mr.. Ford called upon
him. During the conversation Mr.
Byrne told the following story at the
expense of Mr.. Handy: "A committee
from the Athenean Society Of Delaware
College asked mo to address the meet
ing OF the society. Being very busy
asked them to get Mr.. Handy to ad-
dress them. The chairman locked at
me with an embarrassed smile and said,

Mr.. Handy joined. well, gentlemen,

| Mr. Handy, "and while there was
entertained by William Dickson. We
we're standing on the street when a

A Ryotectionist Answered.

Mr.. William Barbour, Republican
nominee for Congress in New Jersey,
-Svsfru7szssss, letter to John r. Dunlop of
Englewo6sd, asking his support on the
eroun& mainly of his tBarbour'sj de-
yot;on to the protective tariff. In pre-
ssnting his request, he said, among
other things:
"The last free-trad panic cost
American farmers five billion dollars,
and American workingmen and manu-
facturers as much more Labor statistics
show that Cleveland's object lesson
threw three million workingmen out Of
employment. Should we not let well
enough alone?o
MIR. Dunlop, says the New York
Evening Post, is the editor of the
Engineering Magazine, and man who
sscertains facts for himself, instead Of
accepting ready-made versions of them
from other people. He replied to Mr..
Barbour with a distinct negative. and
took particular notice Of the latter's
nrraIgnment of the Cleveland admins
tration, saying:
You tell us that last free trade
panic cost American farmers five billion
dollars and that CleveNand's g

absolutely to the Republican Sherman
Silver Coinage law. And we have no
less an authority than John Sherman
himself for the specific statement
that he introduced and passed that bill
in Republican Congress. because a
majority of both the Republican Senate
and the Republican House stood ready
to pass measure for the free and un
limited coinage of silver, and Harrison,
Republican President in the White
House, stood ready to sign it. We know
that Mr.. Mckinley was the outspoken
advocate of the free coinage of silver,
and we know that previous to his
nomination for the Presidency, his
speeches teemed with declarations rival
ing the worst that Mr.. Bryan has ever
uttered. We know, too, that Mr..
Cleveland called special session OF
Congress to repeal the Sherman Silver
law, and through weeks of bitter war.
fare with Free Silver Republicans and
Free Silver Democrats, he stood man
fully to his duty until that Republican
legislation was wiped from our statute
books. And to that priceless public
service, more than to all other cause
combined, we owe the prolonged pros
perity which we still enjoy"

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov 4. = The
much-desired 30-foot channel In the
Delaware River and Bay was discussed
Monday at meeting in the Board of
Trade rooms Of the joint executive COM
mittee on the Improvement OF the har-
bor and rivers, at which nearly all the
clty's commercial organizations except
the Maritime Exchange were repre-
sented. Joel Cook presided and re-
ported that during the, past summer
the eity's contract for tie deepening of
the Schuylkill channel and the Della
ware River near the mouth of the
Schuylkill had been satisfactorily COM
pleted.
W. r. Tucker, secretary of the COM
mittee, quoted from the harbor masters
report for 1901, showing that last year
IA vessels drawing 26 feet of water
reached this port, and that during the
present year II vessels of % foot draft
nave come here. This demonstrates a
great improvement in the channel of
late, Mr.. Cook contended. Mr.. Tucker
dwelt at length on the river and harhor
improvements, more especially those
under the appropriation of the last
Congress and authorized by the city.
Among other things be said
''Ihe chief engineer of the city is
preparing plans and specifications for
the extension Of the 26-foot channel in
the Schuylkill River, under the appro-
priation of s400, 600 provided in the

bridge to near Gibson's Point. The
material derived from the dredging
will also be deposited upon League

to City Bridges.

Mr.. Chandler Recommends improvements
to City bridges.
At the opening OF the session of the
Levy Court Monday afternoon Mr..
Chandler, chairman of the bridge
committee reported that Washington
bridge, both Market street bridges and
Eleventh street bridge we're in need of
new planking in the sidewalks and
recommended that the lumber for the
work be ordered. Mr.. Willis said that
it would take about two months to get
tho lumber and winter would be on
and the work could not be done and
that the lumber might be taken and
ucad for fire wood by persons needing
fuel. MIR. Chandler said that l6, OOO
feet should be ordered for Washington
bridge; 1900 feet for Market street
over the Brandywine; 1900 feet for
Eleventh street, and 5000 rect for
Market street over the Christiana. He
said the court could save about $3.50
by purchasing now. The mater was
postponed until next week.
1t was alleged that there were some
improper charges ON the bill of Coroner
Frick and on Mr.. Armstrohg's motion,
it was referred to the committee.
| Mr. Chandler raised the point that
he was not on the committee on coroner,
1t then was discovered that there was
a committee on coroner's physician,
but no committee on coroner. He con.
sented to act on the committee and the
bill will be looked over and probably
revised. The court paid out 50, ZOO
yesterday.
On next Monday the Arrowsmith bill
will be taken up and an interesting
session is looked for.
