Treasury Department May Not
 Issue All the Bonds
MORE MONEY THAN NEEDED
Calculations Are Being Made As To Needs of the Money Market Next Spring and Certificates May
 Be Restricted.

Washington, November 21.-The situation at the treasury was so greatly relaxed
 this afternoon that Secretary Cortelyou
 was able to leave the department early.
 There is no longer any doubt among treasury officials of the success of both the loans, the Panama canal bonds, and
 the one-year treasury certificates If considerably less than 100,000,000 is al- Iotted in the certificates, it will be be-
 cause so large an issue is no longer felt to be necessary to restore the sit- uation. Calculations are already being
 made as to the probable condition in the money market next spring and the ability to call in a part of the certificates.
 If the amount issued should be only s5O- 0G0,00O and half of these should be paid off in six months, the interest charges would fall materially below the s3,OO0,000
 originally calculated upon the full issue for one year. The sum of s25, 100000 for six monthe would draw interest to the
 amount of $375,000 and an additional amount of $25000,OO0 for one year would
 draw of s75O0O0, making total of $1,l250O0 It is possible that some of the certih-
 cates could be called for payment within an ever shorter period than six months. It will probably be the policy at about that time to withdraw some money from the banks in addition to the amount re- quired to pay off the certificates, but this will be done in case the accumu- lated effect of gold imports. additional bank note circulation, the deposit of pub lie money and the liberation of hoards, creates a plethora Of money in circula- ton, which calls for rectificaton.
 If the certificates are generally used | to increase bank note circulation. this alone will result fin an addition of from l SEQ 600 0O0 to $40 ,000 to the currency out side the treasury and with the gold /, imports and the new bank circulation al- !, ready issued will make an addition of ] rency recently place at the disposal
 of the market The nominal cash bal i ance of the treasury today was $24i, ,393. .217. ! but this was subject to the deduction of l s234 e3e5S9 in banks and elsewhere leay- l ing only $6, .628 as the apparent work l ing balance. The cash actually held in 1 the treasury stands at $il9, ,43S,011 But 1 this is offset by outstanding checks and | other demand liabilities amounting to 1 s112. .9S4 3S3 Receipts continue to fall be- | low the average of year ago. but 1 were q little better today than for the ;, corresponding day last year. The month I ol November, thus far, has shown a | surplus of receipts of $2.9S1 ,e45. as against I a surplus in November. 1906. of A,7s9,1f7 l but this result has been obtained by keep | ing down expenditures by more than $s,- l 100000 during the month, although for 1 the fiscal year beginning July 1, there l has been increase in expenditures Of l more than Sl3.5O0.000.

TOBACCO TRUST
 IS BEING PROBED a--F Close Relations Seem To Exist Between Two Concerns CORPORATION AND STORES Vice President Hill of the American Tobacco Company Admits Con
 sessions to the United Cigar
 Stores Company.
CORPORATION AND STORES

New York, November 27.-The nature of the relations existing between the Amer
 ican Tobacco company and the United Cigar Stores company, which has a large number of retail stores throughout the country was inquired into at today's ses- sion in the hearing in the case of the United States against the so-called tohac- co trust. The hearing is taking place be-
 fore United States Commissioner Shields. While 1t was not established by direct
 admission that the relations were abso- lutely controlled by the American To- bacco company, much of the testimony
 was to the effect that unusually close re- lations existed between the two com
 panies. P. o. Hill, vice president of the American Tobacco company was the wit
 ness examined today. He said that while
 he never knew of specific denial of the
 report that the United Cigar Stores com
 pany was owned by the American To- bacco company, he did not recall that
 such ownership had ever been admitted.
 Sends Goods Direct.
 He said he mad very little knowledge of inc management of the United Cigar
 
 that for several months past his company
 had been selling goods direct to the limited Cigar Stores company, giving u inc bene6t of regular trade discounts given to jobbers who encouraged the use of inc American companys products. ,rbese discounts amount to from to lo nor cent besides the usual discount or per cent for cash.
 Mr Hill said the American company sells to no other retail tobacconists III Nyeu, York Asked who furnished the money to start the business Of the uniteo Cigar Stores company, MT. Hill said he did not know. Asked as to the owner ship of the jobbing concerns by his cor noration throughout the country. NIT. Hill said 1t had an interest in only one, and that was in New Orleans. A dozen concerns or more handled the company S product in New England and got the same allowance, he said. Concerns which handled the American eompanys prod
 ucts exclusively. however got an addi- ! tional allowance.
 To Maintain Prices.
 1 Several letters from Mir. Hills personal 1 letter hook related to a plan to maintain ! prices of imported goods. It provided 1 that importers. including Park. Tilford & l X, Acker, Merrall & Condit of New York, were to sell Havana cigars to retailers , and iobbers at the same price. This I might cause demoralzation of busi-
 ness for q time. the latter said. but in ] the end it would result in forcing the | importers into an agreement to maintain | prices Mir Hill said the American To- ! bacco company owned small amount or , stocks of the Acker. Merlall & Condit | company, but none at all in the Park & l Tilford concern.

Tennessee Improvement.

Representative Richardson of Ala bama called at the war department to- day and read the report of the en- gineer officers on the Muscle Shoals power plants project on the Tennes- see river.
 Judge Richardson believes if the recommendation are carried out by the officers the navigation of the river will be substantially benefited. He also re- gards the report as satisfactory 10 those interested in the power plants. In brief the recommendation Is for slack water navigation.
 It Is also fuNy understood that the government will be willing to construct the necessary locks on the 26-mile stretch of the river. The firms that may put up power plants will. of course, have to build the necessary dams

Rulinq on Notes.

The collector of internal revenue of Tennessee has written to the commits sioner relative to the taNability of cer- tain notes other than national bank notes, proposed to be used tor circula- ton. 1t appears that a Tennessee bank loaned d county in that state some money to be paid next February By arrangement with the county author fties notes of the denomination of S5 and SIC were executed for .he payment of the amount due, and it Is the pur pose of the bank to use these notes IS n circulating medium in order to re lieve as far as possible, the embar rassment caused by a scarcity of cur rency in this part of the country.
 The commissioner advises the col z lector that relying upon the Opinicn of Attorney General Olrney that certi1- cates issued by clearing houses are not notes within The meaning of the revised statutes. the commissioner has heretofore refused to issue instructions for the collection of the 10 per cent tax on clearing house certificates.
 The commissioner believes. however. that the notes referred to by the Ten nessee bank are clearly of the charac- ter which Congress desired to dis courage for use as circulation by the imposition of the 10 per cent tax and so many of them as are issued and used for circulation will be held sub- feet to the tax.

Purpose of Session,

The bill filed by the Central Trust company then alleges that the special ses- sion was called for the purpose of pass
 ing such legislation as would defeat the
 jurisdiction of the United States court
 in the action brought by the Central
 of Georgia Railway company, and in
 order to pass a scheme of laws to prevent
 the railroad company from bringing a
 suit in a federal court to test the consti-
 nationality of the rate laws in question. The bill quotes from the proclamation of the governor and from the message transmitted by him to the legislature, with a view of substantiating the al
 legation that the new legislation was
 to be enacted for the purpose of depriv- ing the United States court of it's juris- diction of the matter in hand. The bill alleges that at the same time that the
 Central of Georgia Railway company filed
 it's bill to enjoin the enforcement of the acts in question, similar bills were filed by Il other railroads operating in the state of Ala abama, and that all of the said Il roads, with the exception of ths Louisville and Nashville, South and North Alabama railway, the Western Railway of Alabama, the Nashville. Chat tanooga and St. Louis and Central of
 Georgia Railway company, were coerced into putting into effect the rates which had been enjoined and suspended by the federal court, by the action of Governor Conner and by the experience of the Southern Railway and Atlantic Coast Line
 in the state of North Carolina where both of said railroads were forced by the criminal prosecution and arrest of their
 agents to put into effect the rates which
 had been enjoined by the federal court

Cannon Is Safe.


 Not single republican member of Congress can be found who will come out and enlist under the banner of President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor and oppose the renomlnation of Speaker Cannon at the republican caucus next Saturday night. good many republican members be- lieve the speaker has adopted Il rather harsh course towards labor bills, but they are afaird to say so. MT. Can non will therefore get the nomination. unanimously and be elected over Rep resentative Williams Of Mississippi by a straight party vote on Monday.
 When the national republican con vention comes around, however, the re- publicans will have q plank in their platform promising the labor men everything they want. The laboring men are then expected to fall into line and vote the republican ticket.

WiII Not Have TW0- Thirds of
 Incoming Senators
MR. CANNON WILL BE SPEAKER
Not One Republican Can Be Foune Who Will Enlist Under the Ban ner of Labor Leader
 Gompers.

Washington, November 27.-(Specfal) Incoming democratic senators are at least consratulating tn emselves that the republicans lack one vote of hay ing two-thrds of the Senate. The ad- mission of the two Oklahoma senator's gives the democrats 3f members and the republicans 61. All the minority votes are needed, however to prevent the ratification of an obiectionabi treaty. One vote transferred from the democratic to the republican side will give the two-thirds.
 There will be number of treaties before the Senate, including probably the IA conventions agreed upon al The Hague conference. perhaps a treaty on the control of American- Canadian in- land waterways ana fishing. and possi- bly, q reciprocity treaty.
 Whether all The Hague conventions report will be sent to the Senate has not yet been determined by the state department.

New Laws Burdensome.

The bill alleges that Dy reason or the scheme to repeal the laws enacted by the legislature of Alabama at it's first ses- sion, and by the enactment of the legis- lation recently passed at the special ses- sion of the legislature, taking from the railroad commission and attorney gen. eral the power to enforce the rates pre- scribed by statute, 1t is a matter of grave doubt as to whether or not the Central of Georgia Railway company will b, able to maintain the bill now pend iny. it being the contention of the de- fendants named in said bill that tho cause of action has been taken away by the new laws. It is alleged that should such contention prevail, the de- fendant, the Central of Georgia Rail- way company, would be compelled to put into effect the rates prescribed by the passenger rate act, and the new com modity rate acts passed at the special session, or else subject itself and It's agents to numerous actions for penalties and imprsonments and to the coniisca- ton of its property, whereby the security of the Central Trust company, as trustee of the second preference income mort gage of the railway company Will De im- peried and destroyed.
 The bill contains detailed statement of the earnings of the Central or teor- gia Railway company, for the nscal year ending June 90, 1907. It is alleged that the total net earnings of the company in Alabama are now insufficient 10 pay the interest on the bonds outstanding under the second preference income mortgage, and that if the rates fxed by the new laws are put into enect, the earnings of the company will be so re- duced as to leave practically nothing for the payment of interest on said bonds
