LAND OF THE WHITE ELEPHANT.
bright Financial Outlook According
TO Consul General King.

United States Consul General King at
Bangkok, in a report to the State Depart
ment on the financial conditions in Siam,
gives a table of statistics of revenues for
the last four years which shows a general
increase in both the receipts and expendi-
lures of the land of the white elephant
The consul general says the Siamese gov
ernment has recently placed a considerable
amount Of the surplus funds in European
securities, as a step toward building up its
foreign credit. Siam has no public debt,
and its policy has been to keep the expendi-
lures well within the receipts
Mr.. King notes that practically all public
improvements are in the hands of the gov
ernment The opinion is gaining ground.
however, that this policy is proving itself
poor one financially. at least for Siam,
and change may be looked for In the fu-
ture.
An effort is being made to abolish the sys-
tenn of taxing gambling houses. Some sixty
or seventy of these houses have been closed
during the past eighteen months. In some
of the provinces gambling is now illegal.
A positive move in this direction is the
pawnshop ordinance, recently passed, by
which these shops are brought under gov
ernment control, thus, says Mr.. King, maxi
ing theft less remunerative and indirectly
decreasing the number of gambling houses
that were able to thrive upon the proceeds
of theft. An agreement was signed with
the government in 1900 whereby the sched-
ule OF land taxes attached to the British
treaty Of 1876 has been abolished. Ii is ex-
pected that like agreements may be had
with other powers, and that the new law
will be more remunerative to the govern
ment and popular with the people.
Within the next six months Siam will
issue paper currency, which will be de-
clared legal tender throughout the country
Improved methods of administering it's
finances says Mr.. King. increasing pros
perity of its people and greater security of
property are resulting in constantly in
creasing revenues for Siam, and this with
balance of trade in its favor, no public
debt, invested securities abroad and a snug
treasury balance at home. argues well for
the financial standing of the country

PRINCE HENRYS PRESENTS
QUESTION WHETHER THE PRESI-
DENT MAY ACCEPT THEM.
Precedents Established by Washing
ton and Grant-OId German Aris-
tOcracy Opposed to Visit.

A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says: 1t
appears uncertain whether President Roose-
welt will accept a present from Emperor
William, owing to the traditional belief that
the Presidents of the United States ought
not to accept gifts from abroad. A court
official, talking of this matter, alluded to
the King of Spain, who had given General
Washington two jacks and jenny, from
which some of the best mule stock in
America had descended. An American
with whom this official was talking replied
that General Grant had caused a tremen-
dous amount of disapprobation in the United
States by accepting a dog from foreigner.
If President Roosevelt accepts this pres
ent, the character of which is as yet secret,
1t will probably be deposited in the Smith
sonlan Institution or accepted pending con-
gressional approval. 1t is understood here
that inquiries are being made in Washing
ton concerning the incinations of President
Roosevelt, and that no present Will be Of
fered if it is intimated that it must be de-
clined.
The conservative journals here have been
singularly silent over the visit of Prince
Henry, which the old aristocracy looks upon
coldly. Those newspapers do not see how
any especial German object can be served
thereby, and fear in some vague way that
warm f. ldship between the United
States and Germany will render more diff
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung, the great
organ of the agrarians, breaks this silence
today by treating Prince Henry's approach
ing visit with a mixture of leVty and Sc
riousness in which ill feeling is scarcely
concealed.
THAT part of our press which chronically
suffers with gushing feelings whenever
business interests are involved, says the
Tages Zeitung, has already talked itself
into mood which threatens to grow dan
gerous. If enthusiasm over the forthcom-
ing exchange of expressions of friendship
between the United States and Germany be
already aglow, what degree of white heat
will it reach when the champagne corks are
popping in Washington"
Continuing, the paper says that royal
journeys rarely have political results, and
every time one occurs this historical fact
is forgotten and deep interpretations are
read into it. Such visits can only reveal
the existing situation; not create new
one. In order to avoid the bitter after-taste
of disappointment the Tages Zeitung warns
against all effervescence of feeling.
A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga, Yesterday
says: NThe itinerary in the south of Prince
Henry, as arranged by Charles E. Harman,
general passenger agent of the Western and
Atlantic railroad, is announced as follows:
Saturday night, March 1, over the Queen
and Crescent, arriving in Chattanooga at 6
o'clock Sunday morning, March 2. The

of the letter follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Washburn:

me today You desire information as to the
truth or falsity of the newspaper reports
from Washington making me an active can
didate for the presidency. 1 deeply regret
these reports. Like many others in the
past, they are absolutely unauthorized.
They do not emanate from myself nor from
my friends, and l trust that the public will
not be mised by them. l have not been,
and am not now, a seeker for presidential
honors My ambition has ever been to
faithfully serve my country in whatever
sphere duty may have dictated, and this
will be my sole purpose in the future. Very
sincerely yours,
