Notts opening address to the jury was
brief. He said he would show by the

TELEGRAPHERs GO BACK.
Report From New York That Strike
Is Breaking Up.

NEW YORK. October 23.-There were
evidences of a general break in the ranks
OF the striking telegraph operators today,
as large numbers applied to the companies
for reinstatement One of the companies
has received thirty applications within the
last twenty-four hours. The break does
not appear to result from any formal or
concerted action. but from gradual disin-
tegration and a feeling among the In
dividual strikers that nothing further is
obtainable from the companies. The ap-
plicants are being considered on their in
dividual merits and about 60 per cent
have been accepted, care being taken not
to reinState those who have agitated
against the companies.

PITTSBURG October 29.-The Pitts

NEW YORK. October 23.-Former
President Small of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' Union, who returned to New
York late last night. announced this
morning to the leaders of the strikers
that he had a new proposition for ending
the strike.
Yes, sir. I am back in the harness

"Of course, I can't tell what the an

TREASURY BALANCE DOWN
Seldom Has It Reached Such a Low
Figure.
CONFERENCE WITH PRESIDENT
Largely Increased Amounts tt
Come Back to Normal Figures.
Mints to Coin More.

That he may be prepared for any fur
ther fright in any financial center of the
United States, Secretary Cortelyou, after
comforting with President Roosevelt and
his assistants in the Treasury, has de
cided to call upon disbursing officers of
the department to return to the treasurer
large sums of money to their credit for
disbursing purposes.
This action has been decide dupon for
the simple reason that Secretary Cortel-
you placed money SO lavishIy with New
York banks to break the financial hoodOo
in that city last week he diminished the
working balance to the smallest figure
ever known in the Treasury and left no
more money to meet further outbreaks of
a shaky public.
The fact is that the head of the Treas
ury gave 10 New York and Pittsburg
banks over 10000. 900 of funds, leaving
the actual working balance of the govern
ment only about S16, 100000. Never be-
fore has the sum reached that slender
figure except in times of a depleted Treas
ury, as during the second Cleveland ad-
ministration Until a few years ago 1t
was considered a tradition that the work
ing balance should not get below $40

necessary to remove any trees now in the
Botanic Garden or to interfere with or
destroy the Botanic Garden In conse-
quence Of this authorization.
1T may seem essential to the so-called
self-constituted United States park COM
mission to entirely eliminate the Botanic
Garden to carry out their elaborate
scheme, and perhaps there was not suffi-
cient care used in the preparation Of this
Senate amendment, but there is no room
for any one to claim that such authoriza-
ton was intended or that it can be con-
strued to contemplate the destruction Of
the Botanic Garden and its historic trees.
Congress Is Responsible.
"The Constitution places the responsible
ity on Congress for al legislation in the
District Of Columbia and for all appro-
priatious for public works in the District.
1t is not possible for Congress to delegate
this power however desirable that may
appear to the eminent architects who have
evo,ved the elaborate scheme for practi-
calIy reconstructing the Capital city al
an expenditure Of something like six hun
dred million dollars. Congress has exer-
cised this power from the beginning of the
government, and I see no other way than
for it to continue to exercise it until the
Constitution is changed.
The committee on appropriations has
had charge of all legislation for such
appropriations for the District, and Il ha,
been the policy of that commit tee and Of
Congress to avoid giving any opportunity
to this self-consututed park commission
to encourage or enter upon any plan for
carrying ont their scheme. Congress has

Represe ntative James A. Tawney Of
Minnesota, chairman of the committee on
appropriations of the House, today ex-
pressed his emphatic disapproval of the
seIf-constituted park commissions attempt
to interpret into an act OF Congress an
Endorsement and authorization of the
elaborate plans prepared by that body
of architects
Mr. Tawney was chairman Of the COM
mittee on appropriations and one of the
House conferees on the sundry civil bill.
which authorized the Grant memorial
commission to select the site for the
Grant me mortal on the unoccupied ground
in the Botanic Garden. and he emphat-
ically repudiates the suggestion that in
that authorization Congress knowingly
indorsed the plans of the park commits
sion to destroy the Botanic Garden and
construct there union square devoid Of
trees and given over TO cement walks.

was any Endorsement of the so-called
vista scheme of the architects.

Since coming to Washington l have
been very much Interested and somewhat
surprised at the controversy that has
arisen out of the authorization by Con
gress for the location of the Grant me
mortal in the Botanic Garden said Mr..
Tawney.
This provision was Incorporated in the

What National Banks Now Hold.

The national banks of the country now
hold sol 900. 600 of the funds of the gov
crnment. besides $4,000 go more to the
credit of disbursinE officers. and it will
be some time before the Treasury can be-
gin to withdraw any of this. New York
bankers say that in month or so, when
confidence is fully restored they can be
gin to return some of the huge sums pour
ed into their laps.
Realizing the serious predicament the
country would be in should further de-
mands be made for deposits and there be
no money on hand Secretary Costelyou
advised with the President and others as
to how to provide government funds. He
found that the abundance of money in
the Treasury in the last few years lad
resulted in dsbursing officers drawing
funds, the daily statement of the Treas
ury showing that the government had
charged itself with the liability OF over
$T2, 10000 credited TO the accounts of
disbursing officers. By reducing these
credits to normal figures probably $l5-
COO. 900 could be converted to the working
balance of the Treasury, subject t. i'm
peratiEe demands in the business world.
DlSburSing officers with large balances
viii. therefore, be Informed that their
credits with the Treasury will, at the
pre- sent time, be reduced TO figures more
In conSOnance with their actual needs.
