this process is necessarily expensive
and for the purpose of preventing
waste of material n new tent has been
devised and is being introduced, by
which it is possible to tell at once, e&-
actly the amount of cyanide Of potas-
stun required for the fumigation OF
each particular tree. This prevents
waste of material and at the same time
insures the application of sufficient
material to effect the desired result.
This is done by making use OF n
square piece of canvas or other suita-
BILE material and on which are marked
rings, one within the Other. AS this
tent is thrown over the tree to be opc--

ground, it is possible to accurately
judge the cubic contents OF the tent

FAVOR CARNEGIE PLAN.
american Society of Mining Engs-
neers Practically Unanimous.

The chances in favor of the acceptance by
the four national engineering societies ana tne
Engineers Club, Of this city. Of Andrew Car
negie's offer OF 100000 for the erection OF a
United Engineering Building" 10 be used by
these organizations joint home. have Deen
considerably strengthened during the last Few
DAYS by virtually unanimous ballot on the
part of the American Society or Mining En-
gineers in favor OF the project
The only outstanding organization now Is the
American Society of Civil Engineers. perhaps
the oldest and certainly the most inclusive Of
all involved Up to date the attitude of this So
ciety has apparently been wellnigh neutral, with
the general feeling that the society should hold
any decision in allegiance until such details as
who shall hold the land. how the income shall
be apportioned and what will be the arrange
ment In the event of an organization wishing TO
withdraw from the combination, shall have been
more narrowly defined
Alta meeting OF the society at Asheville, y. e.
a short time ago. however. the board OF direc-
ton was authorized to ascertain whether suita-
bic accommodations could be obtained for the
society in the new building. with provisions for
future needs. and that if the proposition COM
mend itself in other respects letter ballot
should be forwarded 10 members Of the society
Should this letter ballot demonstrate that ma
iority of the members are in favor OF uniting
with the other organizations, il was also re-
solved that the board be authorized 70 pro-
coed on behalf of the society. 1t was hkeWlse
noted that such letter ballot should be presented
TO the society at sixty days notice and an op-
portunity for discussion be afforded at the an
nuaI meeting in January, 1904.
From information gathered yesterday II ap-
pears that some little opposition still exists 10
the project among certain Of the older and more
conservative civil engineers. These, IL is under
stood. while admitting that their society needs
another auditorium such as might be furnished
by the United Engineering Building. are some
what averse to the Engineers Clubs connection
with the scheme.
The whole trouble said one OF The 1rfb-
une's informants yesterday, rs that pro1es-
sional and not business men are deciding on the
project This fact is responsible for the nun1er-
Gus ragged edges with which the scheme Is Just
now bordered. The action of the Civil Eng1-
neers' Society has also been complicated by the
secretariat whose opinion should carry con-
sidera BILE weight In the councils OF the society,
but which has thus far been practically ignored
The warning interests Of the various organ1za-
tons involved, however. are on the face OF them
far from irreconcilable. and am confident that
within the next two months the civil engineers.
If only for the sake of esprit de corps, will sup
port the project The present fault Of the
scheme is in short, an absence of business
methods in conducting the affair and lack OF
definition in the project itself, as suggested by
Mr. Carnegie"

NO TREASURY SURPLUS
Government Expenditures Increase,
While Receipts Fall off.

Washington. Oct 31-A significant fact is
noted In the Treasury statement issued at the
close OF business to-day II is that the receipts
Rnd Expenditures OF the government for the first
four months OF the present fiscal year are prac-
ticsly the same, the surplus being SO small as
20 be only fraction OF the aggregate.
one year ago the surplus for the same months
Of the fiscal year was Sl3,5ooooo, TO which S.
10000 90 anticipated interest should properly be
added. making total OF almost exactly one
third OF that for the entire fiscal year. which
finally stood at 100000. There has been no
similar anticipation OF interest in the four
months OF this fiscal year. and there is prac-
ideally no surplus. The total receipts for the
expenditures S1s9. 81. 697. leaving a surplus of
about S5S5,co0.
An analysis OF the statement shows that the
practical wiping out OF the surplus is due not
only TO decrease OF the receipts. but also TO
an Increase OF expenditures The customs re-
ceipts fell of about 100000 while the ex-
penditures OF several departments increased
slightly. In addition TO those natural increases,
100000 was paid out in aid of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition.
September's falling of in customs receipts
came largely in the sugar and steel schedules
A significant change in customs receipts be
tween this year and last is the falling of in the
importation OF articles Of luxury.
Internal revenue receipts are slightly more
this year than last Miscellaneous receipts are
large. The sales Of public lands, the returns OF
which go TO the irrigation fund have been phe-
isomenal
