TREASURY REPORT.
Ellis q. Roberts Tells About Uncle
Sans Money.
rho Growth In the Volume of Money Dur
Ing tho Year Carried tho Per Capita
from o2198 TO e28 43-Output Of
Mines Confrming Gold Standard.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Ellis H. Rob
erts, treasurer of the United States,
In opening his annual report says
that the magnitude of the available
cash balance and the unprecedented
holdings Of gross gold are the strik-
ing features of the condition of the
treasury ut the close of the fiscal
year 1902. The net ordinary revenues
for the year were $500, 47S,233 and
the expenditures $471, 10O,S57, show
ing surplus of 91,2S7,376.
While the accounts of the public
debt on their face show an increase
of $15,2s3,51 in the total of the debt,
If allowance be made for the increase
of $57,624,40O in gold certificates,
the national obligations will be
shown to have diminished by S42,340,-
SSS during the fiscal year.
The growth in the volume of money
IN circulation during the year was
$74,Os2,5S9, carrying the per capita
from 27.0s to 2s.43. The element of
gold coin and gold certificates was
the largest part and the increase
reached $61,966,174 and advanced
from 4O.30 per cent. of the total to
41.73 per cent. In silver of all de-
nominations, including certificates,
there was an increase of S25,266, 146,
of which $6,4s6,O14 was in subsidiary
coin. The reduction in treasury
notes of $17,677,sOO is due to their
withdrawal.
The advance in circulation in the
volume of gold, including certificates,
within IL years, by the large sum
of $433,703,510 is the measure of the
greater strength of our circulation.
The addition during the past fiscal
year was SCI, 9S6,174. The increase in
the future can hardly be less than
$50 100000 to $60,OO0,0O0 year.
There was a net increase during
the fiscal year of 36S banks, 437
charters having been granted and
60 surrendered. The total number
of banks chartered to June 80, 1902,
was G,325, of which 1876 were in OPP
GRAFTON and 1,779 out of existence.
There was unusual activity in the
movement of silver and minor coin
to and from the treasury. The ship.
ments of silver dollars reached S40,.
1925, exceeding all former records.
and the returns for exchange were
S2,71O,69O greater than the issues.
The amount of subsidiary coin out
standing was increased by S3;114,s52
to $50, s14,940.

THE KANSAS ELECTION.
Returns from Over the state Show tho
Most Complete Republican Victory siuoe
the Days Before Populism.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 5.-Kansas has
gone republican by at least 10000
majority. The entire state ticket
and all the eight congressman are
elected by the republicans. The re-
publicans will have 100 members Of
the legislature. The democrats did
not expect to elect their state ticket,
but were. SURPRISED that w. II. Grad
dock, their candidate for governor,
did not run better than he did. w.
J. Bailey, the republican candidate
for governor, runs ahead Of his
ticket.
A great fight was made on T. T.
Kelly, republican candidate for
treasurer, but he gained enough from
the democrats to more than Offset
any disaffection in the republican
ranks.
The democrats had devoted most
of their attention to the legislature.
There was a fractional fight among
the republicans for United States
senator which made it seem that the
democrats had good chance to carry
the legislature. In few counties
they made gains, but the republican
majority in that body will be about
the same as last year.
Returns from over the state late
last night show that the republican
county officers were generally elect
ed. 1t was the most complete re-
publican victory since the days be-
fore populism.
Morton Albaugh, republican state
chairman, said last night that prac-
tically every member Of the legisla-
ture would be republican.
The democratic state committee
comedies the republican claims DIN
everything except the legislature.

MARRIAGE BOOKS OPEN.
Kansas City Court OF Appeals Holds That
County Oniciais Cannot Suppress L.
censes for Even y Moment.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 4.-The Kan
sas City court of appeals decided that
the county official who issues mar
riage licenses must make an entry
in a book open to public inspection
of each marriage license when it is
issued. This decision is important
because it will put a. stop to the
practice, so long followed in Mis-
souri,, of suppressing marriage Ii
censes. 1t has been the custom OF
some recorders to suppress marriage
licenses when the couple would pay
a fee for it. The courts decision was
made in the case Of Hugh Stephens,
editor of q newspaper in Jefferson
City, against Osborn L. Moore, re-
corder of that county. Moore had q
feeling of enmity for Stephens and
would not let him have the list Of
licenses for publication in
his paper, but allowed rival. papers
to have them.

The two most completely oversold
products of the United States are
those of the steel mills and the loco
motive plants. The railroad mana
gers are in desperate straits for loco
motives, though quantities of raw ma
terial and finished merchandise await
shipment at many industrial centers.
East-bound lines are troubled rather
by shortage of engines than one of
cars. Most of them have enough cars
for their present large tonnage, but
are short of engines to haul the cars
when loaded.

In China, it is nothing out of the
way for a criminal under sentence of
death to secure, at price, substi-
tute to die for him. A remarkable
case is reported from Foo-Chow.
When q certain childless criminal
was adjudged to death, his family
met to see what should be done. The
superstition Of the land ran counter
to a man dying without leaving a
son, at least, to worship him after
death. The criminal had brother
who had SO many sons that he had
