TREND OF EVENTS
AT WASHINGTON.
Panama Levys Tax to Defray Expenses
of War Against Yellow Fever,
TO AID NATIONAL BANKS
Treasury Department Has More Money
On Hand Than is Necessary to Meet
Current Governmental Obligations.
Fall Trade to Reap Benefits.

Washington.-There is now avail
able in the United States treasury the
sum of $36. 900, 900, which is not need
ed to meet current obligations OF the
government, and which may, there
fore, if found necessary, be deposited
with national banks throughout the
country for the purpose of meeting
the heavy demads of the fall trade.
What is known as the available cash
balance in the treasury now stands at
nearly 1892, 900. 900; but of this
amount, about $156, 600, 900 is either
already on deposit in national banks
OIL is deposited to the credit of dis
bursting officers in the Philippine
Islands. There is an unwritten law in
the treasury that the government
should always have on hand at least
$50, 600, 00O in the form of q free
working bslance-that is, that the
available cash balance, less the funds
deposited in national banks, should
constantly reach that amount. This is
for the purpose of meeting any emer-
gency that may arise. The present
secretary of the treasury, however, is
inclined to believe that in times of
great prosperity like the present,
when there are apparently nc ''rocks
ahead" a working balance Of $780,
000, 900 is quite large enough to fulfill
all conditions of prudence. The vail
able cash balance in the treasury at
this time is about $40. coo, 600. II $10,-
coo, 900 be deemed a sufficient work.
ing balance, it is possible, therefore,
to increase the present deposits in the
national banks by about S36. 900, 900.
For aeveral months Immediately fol-
lowing tho ratification OF the Panama
canal treaty by the United States SEN
ate, Secretary Shaw watched the treas
ury balance with keen interest in the
expectation that the government would
soon be called upon to pay I'VE to the
New Panama Canal Company of
France the sum of $40, 900, 900, and to
the government of Colombia some
thing more than $40, 900, 600. The
Colombian congress has not yet rati-
fed the treaty, and the whole matter
is in a state of uncertainty. There is
little probability that the payment, if
made at all, will be required for many
months to come, In the meantime the
crop-moying season is approaching,
and although there are as yet no signs
OF a serious money stringency, Secre-
tary Shaw will watch the situation
with interest, and there will be no sur
prise in the treasury department if he
decides within the next six weeks to
increase the Federal deposits in the
national banks.

To beautiful valleys enchanted, she passed

On seas of the Thunderstorm riven, and

She stands with her Faith for her helmet,
in the strength Of high purpose and

Dead hopes to the lead past forever, and
the red sword of Hate to the rust,
St~rong-sinewed, answering. and loyal,
she fearlessly faces the years;
In the white path of Peace and Progress.

From her fields in the Towering valleys,

Magazine articles have come to be

tographer-clerk was taken from his
work and supplied with Photographic
material at government expense and
kept four days taking pictures of old
records to be used in a magazine story
for the official. This one story of the
officials cost Uncle Sam a total of
$6O. so, the government paid out for
the privilege of having the head of the
department put his name under an ar

which he received a good round sum.

was the intention of the powers to
make a joint naval demonstration in
Turkish waters and to enter a prot ca
if anything of the kind was contem-
plated. The foreign officials made it
clear to him that Great Britain hast

it appears as if Italy also will refrain
from carrying out her decision to dis
patch warships to Turkey, as the
Italian embassy says no report of
their departure has yet been received.
This is taken by the embassy to indi-
cate that there have been develop

perhaps due to the Turkish acceptance
of the Russian demands which was
confirmed at the Turkish embassy.

Louisiana, Mo, June 5.-The Sny levee
broke just below this city today and the
Mississippi is now falling here at the rate
of SIX inches per hour on account of the
break. The sny is the most important
levee on the north end of the river and
is seventy miles long. In some places it
IS 2S feet high and so feet across at the
base. 1t inclosed fertile farming section
fIom three to seven miles wide, contain
ing more than 100000 acres.
There are several towns within the dis
trict, the population of which is probably
ten thousand. Many of them remain and
loss of life is certain. This district has
not been overfowed since 1883, and the
damage viii run into the millions. The
break occurred at a point used by the
railroad as a roadbed. 1t was unexpected
until just before the break occurred When
seen rush was made to repair it but
forty yards went out and torrent
poured through.
