REPORT
Annual Statement Of City Finances
From City Officials.

AT the city council meeting the finan-
cial reports OF the several city officials,
for the past fiscal year, were submitted
and read.
The report of the city clerk, Harry
F. Lee, shows the city in good finan.
cial condition, and Is as follows:
To the Honorable, the Mayor, and
Members of the Council Of the City
of Albuquerque:
Gentlemen-At the request OF Mayor
Myers, | have prepared a statement
showing receipts and disbursements OF
the city for the past year and actual
balances at the beginning and n OF
the year, after deducting outstanding
warrants.
The period of time covered by the
statement of receipts is from April 10,
1902. being date of former report OF
treasurer, up to April Is, 1903.
The statement as to expenditures in
cludes everything contracted after
April 1, 1902, up to April /, 1903, just
a year, with additional items to the
amount of s950.4S, which were in
cured or contracted for by the city
prior to April 1, 1902. These items in
clude the bill of A. r. & s. f. Ry. Co.,
for one-half expense of building side
walk and viaduct, the amount paid by
the city being $780, S. This explana-
ton is made for the reason hat this
statement is for your information in
mourning expenditures for the coming
year, and there is not any back indebt
edness-that is, prior to April l, 100;
to be paid.
The fixed pay roll for the coming
year, as at present constituted, will b.
a little larger than during the pas
year or account of the creation OF tn
Office of city chemist, employment of
fire chief and slight increase in pay o
the chief OF police and police judge
the Benevolent association is carried
on the books tor convenience and pur
poses OF approval as part of the pa!
roll, although not properly a par
thereof; while the labor on streets ant
sewers is carried under their respec
tive heads. Your attention is als'
called to the fact that the lighting ex
pense for the coming year, under con
tract made by the city for twenty-five
additional lights, will occasion an ex
penditure of $l,3S5,45 greater than tn,
cost for the past year. while the cos
OF water will be about $3.50 larger.
At the date of the treasurer's report
a year ago. there were warrants out
standing to the amount of s11 ,2SS.5C

TOBACCO FIRM ASSIGNS.
suffer Brothers, of Chicago, Go Into
Voluntary Bankruptcy.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Sutter Brothers, leaf
tobacco merchants, with establishments
in Havana. New York, st. Louis and Chi
day. On the assertion that the action was
taken to protect creditors receiver was
appointed. the Chicago Title and Trust Com
pany being named. The liabilities are placed
at 100000. with assets exceeding that fig
ure by s1,oO0.0O0.
The officers of the corporation, which is
one OF the largest In the United States,
are Lewis p. Suffer. president, and Adolph
Suffer. secretary and treasurer. There are
six brothers In the company, which is in
corporated for 500 900.
William c. Niblack and Eugene c. Pear
son were appointed receivers by Judge
Kohlsaat, who fixed their joint bond at
100000 According to inventory
taken last week." said Receiver Niblack
tonight. 1.-The liabilities of the firm amount
to about 100000 less than its assets, The
immediate reason for the bankruptcy is
that Suffer Brothers have been car
rying an immense stock of tobacco and
have of late been unable to obtain money
with which to support this load There is
no truth in the report that there is dissen-
sion among the members of the firm
Edward A. Suffer, one of the six brothers
that compose the firm. admitted that the
fight against the American Tobacco Com
pany had crippled the resources of the firm.
Another representative of Suffer Brothers
said that although the assets nominally ex-
ceeded the liabilities, yet it was possible
that creditors would not receive full pay
ments OF their claims. The Suffer Brothers
went through bankruptcy proceedings about
twenty years ago, but did not incorporate
the present company until 1898. Tobacco
growing on a large scale was carried on by
the company near Delvan, Wis, and dry
ing houses were erected at Madison.

Crowds OF eager spectators, both men and
women, thronged the corridors and rotunda
of the Capitol early in the day, and the
galleries, to which admission was had by
card only, were taxed to their capacity long
before the hour for assembling arrived.
Many high officials of the government left
their desks at the departments to witness
the opening session and greet their legis-
lative friends; many strangers in WASH
ington had their first glimpse of Congress-
while the Capitol was the Mecca of the
Washingtonian
Committee rooms, which had been in the
hands of the renovator during the re-
cess, were thrown open, and many informal
receptions were held by popular chairmen.
With the speakership question out of the

the sentiment of the occasion.

selves for admission. Such incidents con-

SENIOR PAsADO's VIEWS.


PARIS, Nov. 9.-"Beyond making pro-
tests to the governments of Europe and TO
the Republic of South America, Colombia"
said Senior Pasado the Colombian agent
here, to-day. 81 do not believe my govern
ment will take action against the United
States. do not believe the protests will be
effective here, but the republics of South
America may well ask themselves, if the
United States will not, when her interests
demand il, take possession of them, or
encourage revolutions in their territory?
Any one can see that the Independence of
Panama is but long step toward Ameri-
can annexation. Reports are current that
the States of Cauca and Anticquia are also
in revolt. While Colombia, perhaps, will
not resist separation from Panama she will
certainly oppose by force OF arms the with
drawal of the State of Cauca, which COM
prises almost half of Colombia, and Antfc-
quia probably the richest in the confeder-
large quantities of arms and ammunition
have been gathered together to suppress
the revolution.
There is question in my mind but
that the Panama Canal Company was
responsible for the action of Panama, and
that Nj. Philippe Bunau-VarilH knew its
independence would be declared is shown
by the fact that he left here for New York
ten days before the revolution was pro-
claimed. There Is no doubt now that the
canal will be built but j assure you It
would have been constructed with Colom-
bias consent, though perhaps some further
delay might have occurred"
