There is no getting away from the
fact that the financial affairs of the
government are not in good shape, in
spite of the protestations of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Shaw
that everything is lovely Outside of
the Tust funds, the statement issued
by the United States treasury July %,
1904. shows an available cash balance
Of $14S,SS6.4 720S. OF that amount,
the statement shows that $1O49 1858. :
1913 is deposited in the national
banks and $7.7o5, 2S7. II has been cred
tied TO the accounts of disbursing Off
GERS, and both of these amounts can
not be called available The Secretary
of the Treasury could of course call
on the banks to repay the amount the
government has loaned them, but TODD
so would so Inconvenience the banks
and so disturb the money market that
Secretary Shaw is unlikely to make
the call
In past years the New York banks
have, during the fall months. always
had to provide for repaying to the
country banks in the South and West
the money they have on deposit. This
money is needed by the country banks
to move the crops" The New York
banks claim that they have to furnish
the money to move the crops" but
they are really only repaying the coun-
try banks what they owe them. When
the demand from the country banks is
excessive, the New York banks have
to call the loans they have made on
stock security. The result is the fur
ries" in the stock market we often hear
of, for the borrowers have to replace
those loans at higher rates of interest,
or, in case they cannot borrow, the
stocks held by the banks as security
are sold.
If many such loans are closed out
and a large amount of stocks are
forced to sale, the price of stocks de-
clines rapidly and panic ensues. Ev-
eryone then wants to sell. and there
are but few buyers. No Secretary OF
the Treasury would feel justified in
calling on the banks for the govern
ment money they have at such time.
for it would add to the panic. Thus
1t is seen that Secretary Shaw could
demand the one hundred, or over, mil
lions the banks lold, but it cannot be
called immediately available.
Then there are other large amounts
included in this available cash bal
ance'' that are not available. In the
treasury of the Philippines there is ST.
316,937, and awaiting reimbursement
for bonds and interest there is $136,
503.3S, making in all $3.50, 100, 500. 63,
thar must be deducted from the avail
able cash balance, which would re-
duce that amount to only sos, 763,
969.45. But then again there are
number of items that are figured in the
cash in the general fund that are not
available, as follows:
Silver bullion ......... $2,213,435 81
Subsidiary silver coin. =. 1885, 89 90
Fractional currency 49,. lis 90

.CORBETT LOOKS
FOR HARD BOUT
Processes to Believe Dave
Sullivan VIII Give Him
a Stiff Argument Tonight
HAS CALL IN BETTING
His Friends Expect Denver
Man to Knock Out His OPP
ponent Inside Ten Rounds

Young COrbett and Dave Sullivan
will meet in the ring tonight for the
first time in their respective careers.
They are scheduled to fight twenty
rounds in Mechanics Pavilion before
the Yosemite Club.
Corbetts friends expect to see him
win in from six to ten rounds and will
be surprised if the fight lasts longer
The featherweight champion expects
a hard fight, protesting to believe he
will find in Sullivan man who will
be harder to defeat than Britt will be.
The champion has been made a one
to-three choice by his admirers, of
whom he boasts a host on this coast.
He looks in good condition, although
he seems to be above the required
weight. He expects to dry OUT two
pounds to-day and will do some work
if necessary to bring himself down TO
the required, point
A big crowd visited him yesterday at
Sheehans. They had to be satisfied
with fieeting glimpses of the little
boxer as he moved about the place.
He did nothing in the gymnasium, but
went to the road in the morning. In
his corner tonight will be Harry Tut
hill, Billy Otis and Tim McGrath.
Dave Sullivan is all in readiness for
the battle. He weighed 129 pounds at
his training quarters at CrolPs Gar
dens, Alameda, yesterday, and eX-
pressed himself as feeling in the finest
possible fettle for the scheduled scrap.
He expects to weigh in at Harry Cor
belts at 6 o'clock this evening at 12S12
pounds. Sullivan's only work yester-
day consisted of brief spell at the
punching bag. He will do nothing to-
day but rest, and will come to the city
this afternoon with his camp staff.
When the New York pugilist enters the
arena tonight he will have as his
chief second Jimmy Barry. who has
supervised the Eastern boxers training
in Alameda. Frank Mcconnell and
Frank Mcdonald will also be in his
corner. They have assisted him in his
preparatory work and are enthusiastic
at the form reached by Sullivan.
Dave intends to make sure that no
possible technicality viii arise concern
ing the time and will select a time
keeper to act with the official watch
holder. In speaking of the precaution
he means to take. Sullivan said:
Il have the greatest faith in the
honesty of Eddie Graney, who is TO be
the referee. and 1 want TO make GER
tain that there viii be no misunder-
standing about the time and the
counts. For that reason 1 will choose
a man to keep the time for me and
see that all is as it should be- l am
going into the battle tonight to win
if it is in me to do so and 1 would
not be satisfied il any mistake would
occur that might annoy me, my oppo-
nent or the crowd that will witness the
contest"
There are two good preliminaries,
Charley Seiger and Frank Rafael ap-
pearing in one and George Sanfranson
and Caesar Attell in the other.

BOY DROWNED BY WATER
FROM A BROKEN DAM
Body of Young Thomas Berger Is Re-
covered After Search of Four
DayS

NEVADA CITY. Feb. 2S.-The re-
mains of the 16-year-old son of Thomas
Berger, who was carried away by the
breaking of dam at the Mountaineer
mine, above Sierra City were recovered
Friday. A large number of men had
made a persistent search for four days
for the body. The dead lad had been
carried away by the rush of water until
his body became lodged under a bridge.
1t was covered with debris and so
steadfastly held in place that it took
two hours and a half to extricate it.
Strange as it may seem, however, there
was not mark found on the body. The
accident occurred last Monday. Two
larger boys were in the blacksmith
shop at the mouth of the tunnel when
without the least warning a small dam
in a ravine some distance above the
shop gave way and sent a great rush
of water down the ravine. The shop
was carried away, young Berger being
taken along, while his companions
barely escaped with their lives. The
father of the boy is the principal owner
of the mine and lives there with his
family. -A-a

until it is seen whether the settlement

trouble arising from the panic Of the
previous week. which had a demOraliz-

The cup tie between the Oakland Hor-
nets and the Occidentals proved a close
and an interesting contest. In the
first half the Hornets had the best of
the play and made several attacks on
their opponents goal. but Chivers
saved them all in excellent style. In
the second period the Hornets pressed
hard and kept the ball in the Occi-
dentals' territory most of the time, but
could not get it into the net. 1t seemed
neither team would score within the
regular time and it would be neces-
sary to play fifteen minutes more each
way, when the Occidental forwards
rushed the ball down the field and shot
at the goal. Williamson kept it out,
but a second shot resulted in a score.
It was then supposed that no further
score would be made and the Occi-
dentals played a defensive game. The
Hornet forwards played aggressively
and had several corner kicks and shots
al the goal but could not score. Near
the call Of time a free kick from the
corner was awarded TO the Occidentais
and A second goal was scored. The vic
tory of the Occidentals was specially
due to the excellent work of Chivers,
their goalkeeper, who kept many danger.

back, played a sure defensive game,
