the benefits that will accrue from the dis
tribution Of internal revenue receipts to
the amount of $40,O0O,000. Government
bonds are seemingly hard to obtain.
Ever since the secretary of the treasury
made public announcement of his plan TO
place $40,O00,OO0 cash In circulation thru
the medium Of depository banks the de-
partment has been overwhelmed with re-
quests that collateral security other than
government bonds be accepted for de-
posits, and it is believed at the depart
ment that Secretary Shaw, after he re-
turns to Washington will issue an order
setting forth the willingness of the de-
partment to accept state and municipal
bonds of approved market and legal stand
ing as collateral for federal deposits.
The difficulty of obtaining $40,OOO,000 on
government bonds on short notice Is con-
coded by treasury experts. Last fall, when
a disastrous panic seemed to be impend-
ing in Wall street, owing to the reck-
less gambling operations of stock specu-
lators, aided and abetted by the banks
land trust companies the secretary agreed
to put out government cash against de-
posts of municipal and state bonds. AT
! that time he appointed commission con
sitting of treasury officials to pass on the
soundness Of the bonds which were Of
fered as collateral.
The results Of the labors of that com
mission are in the secretary's possession
! It would be unnecessary for him to appoint
another commission. because he is in {
position to determine at a glance the
standing Of every municipal and state Sc
curity that Is now on the market.

force of workmen this morning. 49,. .-
There were plenty Of building laborers
on hand and no man was refused work If
there was any room for him. In some
cases, however, there was a greater sup
ply than demand, largely because the
bricklayers who went on a, sympathetic
strike are working on other and smaller
jobs which they must complete before
going back to their old jobs on the big

while hot and dry weather would be likely
to cause sprouting of the damp grain

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. s.-The people Of
Washington were aroused to-day by the
announcement made by President Black
and Executive Commissioner Johnson of
the st. Louis exposition commission, that
the Hill railroads, comprising the North
ern Pacific, Great Northern and Burling-
ton, have absolutely refused to aid the
commission in the transportation Of state
exhibits, charging full freight rates and
full fares to employees of the commission
In their travels turnout the state to as
semble exhibits.
Five thousand dollars is to be paid for
hauling lumber to ST. Louis. The State
Lumbermen's association. State Single
mems association and President Black
have unsuccessfully appealed to the traf-
fic managers at st. Paul and President
Mellen Of the Northern Pacific.
The result is that the commission must
expend $4,000 out of $4,000 for freight
and fares, thereby curtailing other ex-
penditures The commission now APP
peals to the public for suggestions. The
railroads stand results from the feeling
of the presidents of the railroads against
Governor Mcbride for his anti-railroad
tendencies.

Reports from various points turnout
Bulgaria show there is a strong feeling
against Prince Ferdinand owing to the
fact that he left the country during the

the agitators will succeed in carrying out
their plots against his life.
A dispatch to the Temps, from Con-
stantinople, giving additional details of the
outbreak at Beirut says that when the
soldiers and police sought to stop the en-
counter between the Mussulmans and
Christians, which occurred near the ORTIZ

and resulted in thirty persons being killed
or wounded. The soldiers lost one man
killed and had three men wounded.
The trouble, the correspondent Of the

tation. ~. ..n.
The outbreak occurred during the night
of Sept 6, between Christians and Mus
sulmans. The fighting was furious, fire
arms and knives being used. The Italian
consul rescued one Christian who had
been stabbed and who had fallen IN front
Of the door of the consulate.
This was the first informatio received
here showing the really serious condition
prevailing at Beirut 1t caused much ap-
prehension in official quarters as being an
indication of the spread Of disorder in the
Turkish empire. The presence Of the
United States cruisers Brooklyn and San
Francisco at Beirut Is regarded as q for
tunate circumstance. It is expected that
a number Of other foreign warships will
gather there. ~
A Center OF Disorder.
Official reports further show that Bel
rut is one of three places which are now
centers Of disorder. Syria, which hither-
to had been comparatively quiet, Is on the
eve of outbreak. Great excitement pre-

fear of an uprising.

occur next week. It is the understanding
among the foreign officials at Salonika
that a general instruction will shortly be
