The English papers in discussing
President RooSevelt'S recent utter
ances regarding trusts pronounce
them temperate and logical. The Pail
Mall Gazette says: HE is too wise to
ignore the fact that the tendency of
commerce is in the direction of a con-
centration of forces and that this force
needs guidance and not blind opposi-
tiOn.''

The treasurer's Office of Cook coun-
ty, in Chicago, is evidently under ex-
ceedingly careless and bad manage
ment. Receipts amounting to thous-
ands of dollars have been issued from
that office in the alleged payment of
taxes without dollar actually going
into the treasury. The taxes of the
big Masonic Temple. amounting to
over s26, 900, were s:settled" in this
manner. An investigation is now in
progress, and the probabilities are
that some of the rascals implicated In
this bold villainy will get behind the
bars.

THE HONOR OF SPAIN
Shown in the Payment of an h.
 demnity

The treasury department at Washing ton, has begun the distribution of BPS, ,500, the sum .received from the government of Spain, as one of the annual payments of indemnity due under the treaty of 1884. The con- tinuation of these payments is regard ed as a marked evidence of the high sense of honor cherished by the Span ish people in meeting an obligation. About 1918 some American merchant ships were seized and destroyed by Spanish national vessels and when the matter was brought before tribu- nal an award was made in favor of the United States citizens for the amount of their losses. The principal was converted by a.curious Spanish method into perpetual rates, and the Spanish government has met the interest on these with great regularity ever since the treaty of 1884.
 By rule of international law, war absolutely extinguishes treaties previ- ouslv existing between the principals, but the Spanish government did not re- gard itself as thus relieved by its re- cent war with the United States and the only discomfortsto which the scrip holders were subjected was in slight deferment of the two payments during the war.

California Fruits in East

Auction sales of Pacific Coast decid- uous fruit Tn New York were lighter last week-seventy-seven cars selling as compared with ninety cars for the proceeding week, and ninety four cars for the corresponding week of last year. With the exception of Monday, Bartlett pears were in light supply and advanced at an average of 80 cents higher than Monday, hard green fruit reaching $2.90 per box.
 Tokays closed about the same as the proceeding week on the whole, although fancy clusters ranged higher, reaching $6.50.
 The peach market was in FOOT shape all week, owing to heavy receipts from eastern points and continued stormy weather. Salways have lacked color, the best only realizing 70 to so cents. Italian prunes are now moving better and closed 10 to 15 cents better than early in the week.
 Nine cars of citrus fruit sold during the week; corresponding period last year, eight cars. Fancy, well-colored Valencias are still realizing extreme prices, reaching the top price of the season during the middle of the week.
 The situation is improving in lemons, and dealers look for a stronger market from now on.

the government. These may be antici- pated. The department did anticipate the October interest. It now offers to anticipate all interest maturing be- tween October and the end of the fiscal year, if presented within sixty days, at a rebate of two-tenths of one per cent per month which is at the rate of PA per cent. per annum. In other words, these obligations will be prepaid at such rate as to allow the government to profit thereby at 2.4 per cent. per annum. The amount matur- ing before June 30 is in round figures $20, $50, ,000. The profit to the govern ment if this offer shall be accepted will be in round figures $22O 900. There will be no experiments tried and no policy adopted until after mature deliberation and no feelers will be sent out. Any rumor to the con- trary should be discredited.
 Regarding the published report that he had resigned, Secretary Shaw said: "I denied this rumor in Chicago. It would seem unnecessary to repudiate a story that has no authority and is built upon false assumption, and is enlarged upon simply to fill space. The presidnet and secretary of the treasury agree in thorough harmony. Of this there need be no doubt if the speeches made by the president and the secretary will be read and com- pared instead of the head lines."

BIG TREES TO BE SAVED
The Commissioners Decide to Purchase
 Santa Cruz Park

Two hundred and fifty thousand dol lars of the states money is to be spent for the land on winch the big trees of Santa Cruz county stand. The Red wood Park commission, meeting at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, took action that will eventually bring the 3S00 acres of land into the care and ownership of the state as a redwood forest park.
 Friday final meeting of the com mission will be held, at which the documents and all papers connected with the transaction will be submitted by the commissions secretary, Profess sor Dudley of Stanford university. It is said that the governor did not ap- prove of all the commissions plans in this matter of buying the big basin land as a redwood forest park. All the meetings are secret. The session is said to have been harmonious.
 w. H. Mills presided in the gover- nor's absence. Father Kenna of the Santa Clara college made the motion which, being approved by all means that terms of agreement have been made swith the owners of the big tree section in Santa Cruz county. The members who were present and who voted aye on the motion included A. W. Foster and Professor Dudley. Gov ernor Gage acquiesced. The money is to be paid in annual installments of $50, ,000 each. The legislature at the last session appropriated the money to be paid in this way, should the park commission so approve.
 The Sempervirens club of San Jose propose raising money with which to build roads to this redwood forest park and in other ways make it accessible to the public.

FRIGHTFUL TRAIN WRECK
It Catches Fire and a Number of Men
 Are Roasted t0 Death

A frightful freight wreck occurred in the western part of Rawlins at mid nihgt Friday and it is believed that at least six men are under the wreck.
 An extra fruit and stock special, with Engineer Patnoe, came in at mid night. There is pretty heavy grade coming into the yards from the west and the air brakes failed to work. The engineer whistled for brakes, but it was to late for the hand brakes to have any effect on the heavy train, which crashed into long stock train standing on side track.
 About fifteen cars were piled on top of the engine and almost instantly they broke into flames. Engineer Patnoe was thrown under the wreck and it is said that at least four or five others shared a like fate. Rescuers succeeded in clearing away the wreck sufficiently to talk to Engineer Patnoe, who was still alive. There were at least a dozen men known to be riding on and in the cars beating their way over the road. It is not known how many of them escaped. Not more than four have been seen, but it is believed that more than that number got off when it was learned that the engineer had lost control of his train.
 A large number of sheep were burn ed to death.

 Germany's naval station in the West Indies has grown so important that an admiralty staff officer has been at- tached to the squadron commanded by Commodore Scheder. The appointee is Capt. Won Levetzo of the German cruiser Vinetta.
 President Palmer will soon call a meeting of the officers of the Cuban army to consider the immediate in- crease of the artillery corps to 800 men. This will be done with view to re- placing the American soldiers now guarding the Cuban coast.
 Col. Charles Smart, assistant sur general, has been designated as chief surgeon of the Division of the Philippines, and will leave soon for Manila, for orders of the department commander. He will look into the cholera situation especially.
 At the meeting of the Board of Health of New York City the section of the sanitary code relating to con- tagious diseases was amended to in- clude whooping cough. Hereafter it will be compulsory for physicians to report to the Board of Health all cases which they are called upon to attend.

Will Help the Banks

Secretary Shaw gave out the follow ing statement: "Money once covered into the treasury, cannot thereafter be deposited in banks. All customs receipts are by law payable to the sub-treasury and treasury. The only iund therefore available in banks is internal revenue and miscellaneous receipts before they have been actually covered into the treasury. These amount to about half million per day, and since the stringency arose to their fullest extent have been stead- lastly returned to circulation. This policy will be continud for thirty or sixty days if needed and longer if necessary. In the meantime, national bank circulation has been increased about seven million dollars, largely induced by the distribution of deposits and the further increase to the amount of eight millions is assured.
 "All rumors of experiments have been unauthorized by the treasury department. It is to be hoped that the public will place no credence in the vagaries started by irresponsible and untrusted men of the street. It is also hoped that the country will understand that the treasury depart ment to the extent of it's ability will stand by the banks east and west, north and south, and it is hoped also that the banks will stand by every business and every interest that is worth protecting.
 The only way to get money out of the treasury into circulation, after it has been actually covered in, is by
 he payment of legal obligations of

Quesada, the Cuban minister, and the state department with regard to com mercial treaty, an extradition treaty and treaty to adjust the title to the island of Pines.
 It is the purpose of Minister Que sada, it is said, to draw up the com mercial treaty on reciprocity lines.

Washington Notes

The war department has been in- formed that General Chaffee will sal from Manila for San Francisco, on the transport Sumner, which will leave Manila soon. The command of the Philippines is to be turned over to General Davis, on September 30.
 The state department has received a cablegram from United States Minister Conger at Peking, stating that the evacuation of Manchuria has been begun by the Russians, who already have returned the railway to China.
 Counsel for Miss Rebecca J. Taylor, who was dismissed recently from the war department, as result of her published criticisms of the adminis- tration's policy in the Philippines, filed demurrer to Secretary Roots answer to her petition for mandamus to compel the secretary to restore her to clerkship. Her demurrer contends that no head of an executive depart. ment is empowered to remove a subor- dinate in violation of the laws of congress or the rules of the president.
 President Roosevelt has signed the order providing for the taking of census of the .Phillpines in accordance with the terms of the Philippine act, passed at the last session of congress, and upon the certificate of the Philip tion has been suppressed.
 Acting Secretary Sanger has issued a circular to the officers and employees of the war department warning them against political assessments and par tsan activity of office holders.

The fate of such a treaty will depend naturally on congressional action on the subject of Cuban reciprocity.
 An extradition treaty between the United States and Cuba already Las been drafted. The provision for the establishment of civil government in Cuba omitted the island of Pines from the constitutional boundaries of Cuba and left its title to future definition by treaty. The United States has decided to leave the island under the jurisdiction of the Cuban government until such convention can'be con- summated. The island of Pines is a municipality in the judicial district of Beiucal and part of Havana prov ince.

AS TO THE SIZE OF HEAVEN.
Biblical Assurance That There Will
Be Room for Years to Come.

Be Room for \ ears to Come.
Taking verse from Revelation as
the basis Of computation, some indus
trious and probably uneasy fellow has
again been figuring on the dimensions
of heaven. The text is in XIV, q, and
reads as follows: "And he measured
the city with the reed, 10, 900 furlongs.
The length and the breadth and the
height of it are equal. He concludes
that this represents space Of 469, 1885,,
OSS, 900, 900, 900, 600 cubic feet. The
enterprising statistician sets aside one
half of this space for the throne and
the court of heaven, and one half OF
the balance for streets, which would
leave remainder Of ia, 1913, 272, GOO,
600, 900, 900 cubic feet.
He then proceeds to divide this by
1906, the number of cubical III room
16 feet square, and this process gives
him 80, 321, S43, 75O, O0O, 900 rooms of the
size indicated. He then proceeds up
on the hypothesis that the world now
contains, always has Contained, and
will always contain, 800, 900, 600 in
habitants, and that generation lasts
for 33 1-3 years, which gives a total
number Of Inhabitants every century
of 2,297, 900, 900. He assumes that
the world will stand 1000 centuries
or 100000 years, which would give a
total of 1870, 900, 600, 900 inhabitants
for this period Of time.
He then reaches the reassuring con-
clusion that if 100 worlds of the same
size and duration, and containing the
same number of inhabitants, should
redeem all the inhabitants, there
would be more than 100 rooms of the
size indicated for each person. Men
have not thought SO much about the
size of heaven. They have probably
always felt that there would be ample
room for those who would be able to
get there. If lack of room were
possible, in the divine order of things,
it would probably be at the other
place, judging from the pronounce
ments that are made from time to
time.
Room has never been matter of
serious consideration with men who
have paused long enough in the whirl
Of events to mediate on tho blessings
which are to follow life of right
eousness. The main question, and
the one in which all men are most
concerned, is the simple question of
the shortest, best and safest way. Put
in different language, they want to
know how to get there, and if the
studious statistician will figure out
some plan that will meet with general
satisfaction along this line, he will
probably smooth out the burrows
which now mark the faces of uneasy
sinners.
