HEAVY TREASURY RECEIPTS.
EanIs Are Preparing to Increase
Their Circulation.

Washington, August 3o.-Thc recelpts
of the treasury department for the
month of August, just closing, exceed
the expenditures by S5,S55,S12 and there
is an unexpectedly large surplus. The

penditures $42, $4,000. For the same
month last year the total receipts were
s45,394,125, and the expenditures S30,55l,-
497. a surplus of a little ove- $6,OOO,O0o
The big surplus this month has been
attained in the face Of the heavy cut
made by congress in the way of wlplng
off the books the taxes imposed on ac-
count of the war with Spain.
This act Of congress decreased the re-
ceipts by something like S6,5OO.GOo a
month. In fact, in July the receipts
from internal revenue fell Off more than
that figure as result Of the cut. This
month the reduction is not Sc large.
The increase is over So.000,0G0, showing
that the country is buying more heavily
abroad each month.
In accordance with the suggestion of
Secretary Shaw, national banks in the
large cities are preparing to increase
their circulation by the deposit OF
bonds Since a few weeks ago, when
Secretary Shaw asked the banks ito
prepare to meet any emergency by in
creasing Their circulation, the banks
have notified the controllers office they
want to stand ready for an increase OF

rency is now being printed at the bu-
reau of engraving and printing and Will

In view Of the opening OF tie period
Of hostilities, there was some discussion
amongst the officers, especially the en-

agree that the experience was Of great
value. Weather conditions have been

Reports That Another VIII he
Created Soon.

Rome, August 30.-The reports rela-
tive to the creation of another Ameri-
can cardinal are unfounded, or at least
premature. For fourteen years. efforts
have been made TO secure another
American member Of the sacred college,
but it was found that the American
Episcopacy was not sufficiently favora-
bic. General DiCisnola came to Rome
to advocate that Archbishop Ireland
and the late Archbishop Corrigan both
be promoted, to avoid their rivalry, but
New York's geographical position was
regarded at the vatican as being too
near Baltimore to permit of Archbishop
Corngan'S appointment. With the
passing away of Archbishop Corrigan
the situation was much altered and it
IS considered that a satisfactory solu-
ton of the Philippine question might
Drlng recompense to Archbishop Ireland
Tor MS services in the affair.
At the vatican it is said that news
paper talk will only delay Archbishop
ireland S chances as the pope IS always
lrrltated at the idea of anything being
IMPOSED upon him by the press.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE
PRESIDENT ROGSEVELT"S IJyrEu-
ASCES CAUSE SURPRISE.
NO FOREIGN POWER DISPUTES IT
Yet It Was Recently Re-aGirmed so
Energetically That Wide Com
ment Has Been Excited

Berlin. August 30-President Roose-
Yelt's fresh declaration Of the Mon
roe doctrine has been received here
with an air of wonder The tone GEN
orally assumed is one Of surprise that
the doctrine should be re-affirmed so
e1ergetically at a moment when no Eu-
ropean power disputes it, least of all
Germany. Moreover. it is asserted that
Germany gave her assent to the doc
trine soon after President Roosevelt s
assumption of the presidency and that
the state department has abundant
knowledge that Germany does not even
contemplate securing coaling stations
ir the Western Hemisphere.
Some suspicious critics suggest that
something must be going on behind the
diplomatic screen to occasion the pres
ident's enunciation. The foreign Of
fee tells the correspondent of the As
sociated Press that official circles by
no means share the newspaper excite
ment. II reads the spSach in connec
ton with definition of the doctrine con-
tanned in the presidents last message
to congress, which thoroughly satisfies
Germany.
The disposition in some quarters 10
directed against Germany is wholly in
admissible, because Germany, as the
American government knows, never
designed territorial acquisition On the
American continent.

Entry Made.

Chicago, August 30.-Judge Bren-
tano. ordered a venire for a special
grand jury to convene next Tuesday to
consider the tax fixing scandals that
have thrown county officers into a tur-
moil during the past week. Bench war
rants also will be issued against sew
eral persons as yet unknown. The ac-
tion is a result of the unearthing by
States Attorney Deneen of what he
thinks to be a gigantic conspiracy to
defraud Cook county of hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
Last week it was discovered that the
tax accounts of the Masonic temple
ed with on the books of the county
treasurer. The charge was laid before
the states attorney that the entry of
paid before an item of S26,770.17 was
a forgery. County Treasurer S. B. Ray
mOnd and his chief clerk John Brecker,s
asserted that the money was never.
paid. Captain Williams, manager forl
the Masonic Temple Association main
tains that the taxes were paid in cash.
The Daily News prints today what
daL Michael @. Walsh, an employee of
the county treasurer, made a state
ment which he said was the same as
that which started States Attorney De-
neen on mis- investigation. According
TO Walsh, he was approached by Luke
Wheeler, man who he maintains was
head of the conspiracy. Wheeler,
Walsh said. told him that the MASONIC
Temple Association was in a bad
shape financially and that a bond issue
was necessary-probably for more than
$1OO, 900. In order to permit of this bond
issue the tax title to the big twenty
two story office building must be clear.
The plan proposed to Walsh was that
he mark PAID in the tax warrant
book in the space devoted to the tax on
the temple for 1901.
Walsh said Wheeler promised ample
protection and that all that was neces-
sary for the time being t. show that
the building stood clear OF the $4,000
taxes against it. The property had
been sold the year previous for taxes
and if the present year was allowed to
remain against the company the trust
companies would not touch the bonds
Walsh said he was 70 get $500 OF ST.
500 to be paid for the job. Walsh main
tains he told States Attorney Deneen
about the affair and that afterwards
somebody made the forged entry.

Windsor, VT, August 30.-President
Roosevelt today resumed his tour of
New England, crossing from New
Hampshire to Vermont.
The trip from Corbin Park to Wind
sor was made in coaches and other con-
veyances. At the Blue -Iountain Club
house in the park the president and
Senator Proctor Joined the party ready
for the drive of fifteen miles across the
Croydon Mountains.
1t was a beautiful morning and every
one rcfreshened by yesterdays day of
rest and enjoyment and a good nights
sleep was in the best OF spirits. The
trip was one of the most pleasant expe-
riences of the presidents tour. On the
made at the summer home of Winston
Churchill, the author, at Cornish, n. H.
Cornish, n. H, is a picturesque little
village and the inhabitants had gather
ed to give the president 4 rouslng recep-
ton. After being extended a greeting
by Mr. and Mrs. Churchill, number of
school children were presented to the
president. They filed passed him by
twos and each little girl handed him a
bouquet of sweet peas, pansieS and as
tors. His carriage was banked with
flowers when he rose to speak. After
requesting that members of the Grand
Army who We're in the assembly be al
lowed to occupy the front line the presi-
dent made a brief speech.
The party resumed its WY over the
mountains and reached Windsor q short
time before noon.
No one was in better spirits than
President Roosevelt. He was congratu-
lated upon his true aim which brought
down the wild boar and felt proud OF
his achievement when he learned that
the shooting of boar in these parts was
feat of no mean importance.
He humOrously referred to his hunting
costume of blue overallS and rcd sweat
er furnished him by Senator Proctor
and expressed the hope tht the photo
graphers had not approached near
enough to him to do any damage.
In the course of the ride over >the
mountains several steep passes made il
necessary for the party to leave the
carriages and walk. The president
easily outfooted everybody and climbed
the heavy grades with as little, difficulty
as If he were taking a stroll through
some city park.
The president was given a hearty re-
ception here and made an admirable ad-
dress of about forty minutes al the fail

HAS HAD EFFECT.
Strikers Turn Their Backs on the
Troops, But Do Not Jeer.

Tamaqua, Pa, August 30-Strike lead
ers went from door to door in the PAN
ther Creek valley last night, spreading
the news of General Gobin's stern warn
ing and his instruction to the men to
shoot and shoot to kill If molested in
any manner. That the words of the
commanding officer have had at least
temporary effect was shown today when
the troops escorted several hundred
non-union men to work without being
moleSted in any way. Companies E.,
and F., went out at dayb-eak with their
guns loaded and their best marksmen
on the flank. When the soldiers passed
the crowds OF strikers on the street,
they deliberately turned their backs to
them. However, there was no hooting
or jeering.
SuppIementing his orGCr of last night
General Goblin has directed Major Gear
hart in command here TO arrest all wo-
men and girls who insult the troops i'll
any way. The opinion seems 10 prevail
among the officers and citizens that the
lull in the rioting will last but a short
time. The fact that more men went to
work today than yesterday is not cal
culated to improve the temper OF the
strikers.
