WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IL
A 100000, 900 bond issue is the plan
which it now appears has been de-
termined on to meet the deficit,
and solve the governments prob
lem of short revenues.
Congress is to be asked to au.
thorize the secretary of the treas
ury to borrow enough money to re-
imburse the government for what
has been paid out on account of the
Panama canal. The items to date
are:
Paid to the Panama Can
al company for the
rights and effects of
that corporation $40, 900, 600
Paid to the state of Pan
ANA, in accordance
with the canal treaty,
and for rights in the
canal strip, etc.. 100000
Set aside and mostly ex-
pended for salaries and
work in preparation to
build the canal. ...... 100000
Total canal expense to
Date ............ Soo,Voo,ooO
The above extraordinary expend-
lures have been taken out of the
governments ordinary revenues
and the result has been a shortage.
At the end of last year it amounted
in round numbers to S24 1000, 900.
On the 1st of November of this
year an additional deficit of $751;
100000 had accumulated. Thus the
government is behind its revenues

Leander w. Palmer, Of Pelican,
La, has entered suit against the
Louisiana Railroad & Navigation
Company for $3.50 damages for de-
laying him 40 hours at Aloha juno
ton miles North of CoIfax. In his
petition Palmer alleges that he
bought a round trip ticket from the
company atShreveport on Thursday.
February 16, 1906, to Verda, and on
the afternoon of the same day he left
Shreveport on the regular south
bound passenger train arriving at
Aloha ut $50 p. m. after the train
which runs between Alexandria and
WINFIELD had passed. He shows
that at the very latest another train
should have passed the next after
noon en- route to Winfield by which
he could have reached his destination,
but there was no train that day and
he was compelled to remain at Aloha
until Saturday night, delay of n
hours.
In his petition Palmer says that
Aloha is located In a fiat, marshy
place and there are only one or two
houses besides the station; that thu
primitive boarding house In whicf
he was forced to lodge was practi
cally under the management OF tive
negroes, the proprietor being sick
that the stock of fuel and provision
was about out; that although tn
weather was bitter cold, there wer
no fires in the house except a scanty
one in the dining room and scarcel!

failed to keep a fire in the waItin,

peatedly requested by the petitione
