CLASSIFYING EXPENDITURES.
Mr.. Keeps Encouragement of the
Dailv Treasury Statement

An old proverb that the man succeeds In
business who keeps his own books, or
knows exactly what he is doing, applies
with special force to the United States gov
eminent Mr.. Charles Hallam Keep, an
assistant Secretary of the Treasury, has
lust done a highly useful work in reform
ing the daily statement by classifying
the government expenditures more precise
", and several further changes in the same
direction remain to be made. He has these
under his consideration.
Expenditures of the government are now
classified under seven heads, instead of six,
as formerly, the addition being public
works. which include public buildings,
and irriga ton. Formerly a greater part of
war expenditures as they appeared in the
government books were unduly inflated.
The change not only makes the item war
under expenditures mean what most people
would always suppose ii meant but 1t
brings the outlay into proper relations with
the navy, and so makes it valuable for COM
parative purposes. If barracks for the
army are now built, the charge goes to war
expenditures, where 1t belongs, but other
public works which have no relation to mil
itary affairs do not go there, as has been
the custom in the past. Last year war
carried so, 800, 000 which was expended in
river and harbor improvements. This new
public works" item will carry expendi-
lures of at least $50, CO., 900 year, making
il much larger than some of the others
which long have had separate place.
These expenditures are essentially an In

New Philippine Governor Predicted.

From the Manila Up. - Times of recent
date it is learned that the rumor that
Judge James +. Smith now member of
the Philippine commission and secretary of
public instruction, will be the next governor
general of the Philippine Islands has been
practically confirmed from high ecclesiasti-
cal circles. over month ago it was stat
ed by returning resident here that Arch
bishop Ireland and Bishop Riordan of Cali
fornia, two personal and intimate friends
of Gen. Smith. had made the statement
that the next governor general of the Phil
ippine Islands would be a Roman Catholic,
and that he was at present on the commits
sion. This left only one inference, namely,
that the successor to Gov. Gen. Wright
would be James +. Smith.
Now the rumor Is confirmed by positive
statement contained in letter to promi-
nent member of the Catholic society of the
Philippines, that President Roosevelt had
written to Archbishop Ireland announcing
his intention of appointing Gen. Smith to
the highest position within the gift of the
President in these islands.

SO TO CHICAGO.
This Rate in Sight if the Railroad
War is Kept Up.

A dispatch from Chicago says: Eastern
passenger rates will touch rockbottom next
week All lines have abandoned hope of
ending the rate war until the public has
saved lot of revenue from the slash in the
way of cheap fares. Unless the presidents
of the railroads meet without delay and
agree that the war must stop, the rate from
here to New York will drop to SO or lower
within a week.
next Monday it will reduce It's rates to the
basis of SIG first class and SIS second class
from Chicago to New York This is a cut
of 50 below the normal differential rate and
meets the rates now in effect by the other
differential lines.
That the other roads do not intend to
let the Central enjoy differential rates in
connection with the New York Central, al
though awarded them by the board of arbi-
traitors, is shown by the announcement Of
the Grand Trunk Erie, Wabash and Nickel
Plate roads that next Tuesday, the earliest
date on which they can put lower rates into
effect they will make another cut of 50 in
the rate to New York and corresponding
cuts to other eastern points
The Pan Handle and Baltimore and Ohio
roads In all likelihood will put in the S14
rate first class to New York on Tuesday
instead of the SIG rate which they an
nounced two days ago.
The Michigan Central in the future VIII
be as aggressive as it's competitors. The
day after 1t cuts It's rates to the S14 New
York basis it will make another cut of 81
in it's rate. The result will be a drop of 50
in the rates every day next week commenc-
ing Tuesday with SIG rate to New York

outlay, hence the Importance of keeping
them by themselves. Government build
ings, although they rarely earn per cent
on the cost, are an investment in the sense
that they put an end to current rental
charges. All irrigation OUTLAWS will sup
posedly come back In ten annual install
ments on each project. but without interest.
Another change which Mr.. Keep has
made is to transfer TO the war and to the
navy respectively the cost of the depart
mental expenditures of those establishments.
Formerly the War Department clerks sal
airy appeared among expenditures as part
of civil and miscellaneous" when the clerk
was just as much part of the cost of the
military establishment, unless he was en-
gagged on public works. as the soldier in
the field The next reform which Mr.. Keep
has in contemplation is that. of charging
to the Post Office Department the great
army of clerks of that department instead
of having them charged to civil and mis-
cellaneous as now. Ii is believed that
penditures borne or the postal register
should be charged there and not TO some
other account

CALIFORNIA; Fruit Wealth.
From Harper's Weekly.


Whether classed as small fruits, or set
in a class by themselves. the ambrosial
grapes of the country call for thirteen thou
sand fruit cars. each carrying fifty tons. to
take the luscious punches from the vine
yards to the market places.
Raisins, first produced in 1867. became of
commercial note in 1873 This branch ID
carried on in California only. 1t takes
from three to four pounds of grapes for one
pound of raisins, and production In recent
years has ranged close to one hundred
million pounds of raisiEs annually. The
price of grapes at the vineyards has
changed greatly In New York thirty years
ago the price five to six cents per
pound; from 1896 to 1901 about six-tenths
of cent Sales have been made at much
lower prices In California good grape
land costs about 500 per acre; cultivation.
$40 to SO per acre; returns range from
1928 to $500 per acre. Many California
vineyards contain 800 acres each. The
larger ones cover from 1000 to $500 acres

The Home of Yellow Fever.

The United States consul at Goree-Dakar,
on the French ivory coast of Africa, reports
that the discovery of a case of yellow fever
there caused great alarm and an immense
exodus of people to Europe. In 1900 the
disease killed hundreds there. Consul
Strickland states that he has for years
slept in great woven wire cage and work
ed in another, and is satisfied that he has
maintained his health by thus caring for
himself and shutting out mosquitoes. The
medical authorities in Goree have impor-
tuned the consul so strongly to let them
have of the cages to use in treating dis
eased patients that he has parted with the
larger one and will order aLother made.
This case of yellow fever led the marine
hospital authorities to give some study to
the subject of the origin of yellow fever,
and there is said to be much to say in favor
of the claim that Africa is the place where
the disease had its birth. 1t is declared
that when the West Indies were first set
tied the disease was unknown there, but
broke out later, prevailed for time and
disappeared. They are now free. The idea
IS that the disease was first brought to the
western coast of Africa. Dakar where the
disease has been reported, is on the ex-
treme point of Cape Verde, in the French
colony of Senegal. The town of Goree-
Dakar, really two small towns in one, has
a population of $500
Some writers maintain that yellow fever
prevailed in Africa in 177S, but other writ
ers assert that the West Indies were the
original home of the disease, which was
transmitted from there to the other west
ern countries and then to Africa.

CHECKING YELLOW
PHYSICIANS NOW ABLE TO CON-
TRoL ITS RAvAGES.
Part Played by the Mosquito in Spread
ing the Dissase-Good Effect of
Governmental Cooperation.

The discovery of a few cases of yellow
fever in New Orleans does not cause the
fearful apprehension IN the medical world
and among the people that 1t did in former
years, when the dread disease carried OH
hundreds of people in New Orleans, Mem
phis and other southern Stes. The fact that
the disease was transmitted by the mos
quito was then unknown, and consequently
the treatment was the merest guesswork.
The citizens of New Orleans became panic
stricken at the first appearance of the dis
ease there and fought to get out of the city.
DR. A. H. .Glennan, acting surgeon gem
eral of the marine hospital service, said to-
day that he had every reason to belleve
that there would be no dangerous spread OF
yellow fever in New Orleans or the south
His .esta blishment is fully cooperating with
the Louisiana and New Orleans health au-
thorities, and the latest methods of lighting
yellow jack are being put into force.
1t was conclusively shown by the late DE-
Walter Reed, an army surgeon, that yelioW
fever was carried by mosquitoes. He oieo
from appendicitis in Washington two years
after his famous discoveries while the
United States army was stationed IN CUBA
The medical profession of tine world now
knows how to handle yellow fever said
Surgeon General RiXey of the navy, Wnlch
does not give near the uneaslness II dld III
past years. There is every reason to be-
lieve that New Orleans will soon be free OF
the disease. or that it will be so closely
confined that 1t will not throw the people
and business into panic
Under the modern methods of combating
yellow fever the disease has been almost
wiped out of the South American countries.
where it fourished so many years, except
in the regions where the. medical author1-
ties receive no assistance or encouragement
in lighting the disease. Mexico has we'll

until few weeks ago. had kept the disease

Warfare on Mosquitoes.

" oll 4sAOS1o1IoSS.
The Mexican physicians follow the rules
of handling the disease that are used in this
country. This is a warfare on mosquitoes
and the isolation of yellow fever patients
so as to prevent mosquitoes reaching them
Dr. Reeds experiments showed that the
mosquito in Cuba would contract the poison
from diseased persons and carry 1t 10
healthy ones BY keeping the mosquito
away from the stricken people or from
those who have died from the disease the
chances of contracting it are greatly d.
minished. AS fast as cases are found in New
Orleans they will be taken to suitably pre-
pared hospitals and camps and the patients
will be placed in screened cots inside OF .
buildings THAI are likewise screened. The
people of southern cities will be asked to
keep the windows and doors of their homes
thoroughly screened from mosquitoes and
to prevent water standing around in vessels
of any kind A tub bucket of water
means breeding place for the mosquito.
When it is necessary for water to be kept
in any receptacle it should be covered with
kerosene to kill the young mosquitoes and
prevent the Matching of eggs previously de-
posted. With proper care in preventing the
dissemination of the disease through crafty
people who will not reveal that they are i'll,
medical authorities hope to confine the dis
ca Sc to New Orleans and to stamp 1t out
there in a short time.
