1T IS INTERESTING.
State Department Is Keeping a Close
Watch

Washington, July 23.-It was
learned at the state department to-
day that no exchanges have passed
between the United States and
Great Britain relative to the atti-
tude assumed by Russia in the Red
sea. The state department is of
course keeping careful watch of
each new development in the sit
uation, but there is no desire on
the part of officers of the depart
uent to anticipate any possible
situation of the future in which
the United States might become
involved.
Officers of the state department
believe that the unsettled rules of
war, particularly those relating to
neutral commerce, should be de-
fnitely adjusted. and they think
that now is a good time to begin

A Mothers Sympathy.

The Karnes County News relates
the following pathetic instance:
Among the many pathetic
stories told and published relative
to the General Slocun disaster,
none touch the heart more deeply
than the following, told by the
New York World about the I'M
identified body of little girl lying
decked with flowers in the vast
temporary norgue on the twenty
sixth street pier She must have
been a wirsome little creature in
life, not quite one year old, blue
eyed, pink checked, with silken,
fair, brown tresses. This little
blossom seemed sadly out of place
in that great field of death. Around
her lay adult dead from the Slocum,
with burned and swollen features.
The child seemed to have just
fallen asleep. Her tiny hands, no
bigger than little roses, were fold
ed upon her berast. She was still
wearing the pretty white dress
trimmed with lace in which her
fond mother arrayed her for that
fatal days outing on the sound.
Surely her mother will come and
get her. 1t seems impossible that
the poor little creature can be
abandoned to nameless grave.
Or perhaps her mother and father
and all who held her dear were
blotted from life in that awful FIRE.
All day long this lonesome little
one held court as if she were
queen. Few of the thousands of
men who slowly marched past
could do more than glance at her.
A policeman had to be stationed
beside the little coffin to drive the
weeping women forward and keep
them from lingering there. Late
in the afternoon a wee girl brought
in a bunch of white roses and laid
the flowers on the baby's breast.
On card was witten: With a
mothers sympathy. "

A BIG DEFICIT.
The Treasury Is Many Millions Behind.

Washington, July 23.-The treas
ury deficit has averaged more than
a million dollars a day for every
working day of the present fiscal
year. The government has paid
out $40, 500, 900 more than it has
received since June 10; the cash
balance has shrunk ST., 900, 900 in
the same period, and the customs
receipts, which are the govern
ment's chief source of income, have
fallen off steadily. The above facts
have given to Secretary Shaw and
other administration officials con-
siderable concern. Coming at the
outset of presidential campaign,
in which there is bound to be much
discussion of revenues, tariffs and
other fiscal matters, this unfavor-
able showing of National finances
is regarded as particularly unfor-
tunate from a republicans point of
view.
One of the discouraging features
of the situation is the fact that,
while conditions MAY improve some
during the next two months, the
condition of the treasury for the
current fiscal year promises to be
the worst of any year since the
adoption of the Dingley tariff law.
This is admitted by treasury Off
GERS.
After extended talks with Secre-
tary Shaw and other officials of the
treasury department today, the cor
respondent is warranted in making
the following statement: There
will be a large deficit this fiscal
year, greater by many millions
than the shortage of S23, 900, 900
estimated by Secretary Shaw last
December. The treasury depart
ment will give no help to New
York banks in the fall when crops
are moving. Instead of increasing
deposits in National banks the de.
partment will more likely call in
some of the money now deposited
there. Unless conditions change
very decidedly so as to yield more
Federal revenues, all idea of tariff
revision that looks to modification
of schedules will be abandoned.

suNKEN STEAMER
Is Said to Have Been an American

Commander to the steamer Tsinan,
which arrived here this morning.
The Vladivostok squadron also

to be the Arabia with $4,000 tons

tribunal should be made the me-
dium for this adjustment, and it
may be said on excellent authority
that if the United States govern
'nent should become party to the
situation created by the seizure of
neutral merchantmen by Russian
warSi,ips, an attempt will be made
from Washington to bring the in
tricase question, with all its ranifi-
cations, before the international
court at Tie Hague.
II is not denied in Washington
that such an incident as that in
which England is now figuring,
might occur with the United States
as one of the interested parties.
More than 10,e0O,O0O pounds of
beef are to be sent to Japan by
American packing houses. and
there is a possibility, even prob
ability, that Russia may recognize
this food supply as cortraba,d of
war and act accordingly.
The presence of the Russian feet
in the sea is held by some to in
dictate that the trade routes to Japan
will be watched very closely, and
that there is a good chance of the
United States becoming a party to
an incident as grave and as COM
pick as that in which Russia and
Great Britain are now figuring.

PAIGN POSSIBILITIES

ANU HEA OL21NCE HI CAM
PAIGN POSSIBILITIES.
1t is claimed by those in a posi-
ton to find out that the Republi.
cans counted noses too early. They
relied upon New York, Indiana
New. Jersey and Connecticut as
practically sure for their candi-
dates, but the firm stand taken by
Judge Parker on the monetary
question has swept these FIVE States
into the extremely doubtful col
umn. Before the Parker nomina-
ton Maryland and West Virginia
with their fifteen electoral votes,
were placed in the doubtful column.
Some Republicans now concede
these States to Parker. New Jer-
sey, three times carried by Grover
Cleveland, IS regarded as pretty
safe for Parker, and the same
opinion is held of Connecticut.
The situation presents this appor-
tionment of the States:

OF the 476 members of the Elec-
toral College the winning candidate
must have the votes of 23o. On
this basis it will be seen that the
Democrats are in a magnificent po-
sition for victory. 1t is of interest
in this connection to recall former
votes. In 1880 Garfield had PA
electoral votes, against 155 for
Hancock; in 1884 Cleveland receiv-
ed PIG, Blaine 1872; Cleveland in |
1888 received 16S votes, Harrison
233; Cleveland in 1892 received |
Ell votes, against AS for Harri-
son; Mckinley received 271 in
1896, while Bryan had 176; in 1900 |
McKinley's vote was POP and
Bryan's 155. Tilden carried New
York in 1876 and Cleveland carried
it in 1884 and 1892. Wisconsin.
