Texas Is in Much Better Shape Than
for Some Time.
| Austin, Texas. Sept. 1O.-The
state of Texas financially is in much
better shape at the beginning of thi:
fiscal year as compared with the be
ginning of the last fiscal year, and
from present indications it is not al
all likely that there will ever again
be deficiency in the state treasury.
The new revenue acts are bringing
in more than enough revenue to
meet all demands upon the states
strong box and under the provisions
of the automatic tax law, it is claim
ed that deficit will be impossible.
day or two ago State Treasur-
er Sam Sparks issued his quarterly
statement, which was printed in
the daily press, showing the balan-
ces on hand to the credit of the va
rious funds on August 81, 1907, the
end of the fiscal year This statement
showed the balance to the credit OF
the general revenue to be 692,G12.-
81. which is nearly 100000 over
the balances to the credit Of the
same fund ON August 81. 1906, the
end of the fiscal year a year ago,
when the balance in the treasury to
the credit of The general revenue
fund was only S95,923.S7.

GOVERNMENT COTTON REPORT.
Gtnusr~ and Condition Estimates

New York. Sept 10 The big
event Of the month in the cotton
market yesterday was the publiea-
uou by the government OF the gin
uers figures showing the amount
of cotton ginned 10 September and
the condition Of the cotton market
10 August 25
Both reports were bearlsh and
caused considerable covering by
frightened longs.
The ginuers' report was flashed at
9 O'Clock and gave the amount gin
ned to September as 191,4l4 bales
against 407. .t91 to same time last
year. The report was considered as
bearish, as the general expectancy,
owing to the lateness Of the crop
was around 10000 bales, and
when the figures were made public
there was considerable covering, but
the longs held back in anticipation
of a very bullish government condi-
ton report, which was to be issued
at 10 O'Clock. October recovered
slightly after opening at the closing
level of Saturday at 1880. When
the condition report was made show
ing the average condition Of the
crop to be 72.7, against IS last
month there was a wild scramble to
cover and the market broke sharply.

FOR 4 DEEP CHANNEL
lakeS-io-th -dui Waterway Plan Finds
da Enthusiastic Advocate

Chicago. Sept 10 THE great
Middle West will control the trade
of the entire west coast OF South
America when the Panama canal is
completed, providing the deep water
way from the Lakes to the Gulf Is
constructed Otherwise it will be
Japan, Germany and England which
will exercise commercial sway over
this vast empire TO be opened up
This statement was made by John
Barrett, the director of the Interna-
tioual Bureau of American Repub-
lies, who has been in Chicago for
several days comforting with men in
| terested In the deep waterway propo-
sition. 1t is his contention that the
federal government should lend all
the aid necessary for the construc-
ton of this ship canal to make the
great advantages of the Panama ca
nal available to the Mississippi val
ley. Mr.. Barrett said:
1T is not excessive to estimate
that the value of products which
these republics will then purchase
from foreign countries at $500, ,00o.-
600.
The major portion of the supplies
will come from North America if the
great manufacturing centers of the
Middle West are provided with water
transportation. 1t requires no
stretch of the imagination to con-
ceive boats or barges loaded in Chi
cago, Joliet or other points in this
manufacturing district making the
entire trip. America has been slow to
improve its waterways. much more
so than any of the other great pow
ers, and it is time we awake to the
advantages to be obtained"

BRAND HOLDS CONTROL
OF CHURCH SITUATION
Address Condenning Spirit
of Intolerance Warmly
Applauded

PARIS, Feb. 1s.-By a majority of
351 the Chamber OF Deputies expressed
confidence in the Government today
and authorized it to conclude negotia-
tions for the leasing of the churches to
parish priests. With storms OF ap-
plause, however, remarkable speech
by Minister OF Education BRAND, in
which the extreme left was openly re-
buked for it's intolerant spirit, was in
dorsed
The Minister declared that It was
unworthy of republicans. or even free
thinkers, not to respect the faith of
millions of their fellow countrymen.
The order of separation, he said, was
disestablishment, not persecution. Lib
erty of worship, whether Catholic,
Protestant or Jewish, must be respect
ed. The Catholic church was not like
any other sect. He had seen fit to
seize churches, seminaries and rec
tories of which the church might be in
possession, but this did not prevent the
Government from recognizing the right
of Catholic churches from keeping
their doors open for Catholics and for
no one else.
When NJ. BRAND had finished, the
issue had been clearly defined. The fol-
lowers of M. Combes were literally
overwhelmed. Premier Clemenceau

he indicated his approval of M. Bri-
ands speech. he did not mount the
tribune. and the leadership of the
church question plainly had passed to
his subordinate.
NJ. BRAND made the point that the
law of January specifically contem-
plated contracts of occupation and that
recently the Government was not exer-
cising it's legislation. He took care
not to reveal the text of the contract
agreed upon, thus leaving latitude to
give and take, should further obstacles
arise. He announced, however, that the
Government would insert a clause in
those contracts to prevent foreign
potentates or members Of religious or
ders not recognized in France from
becomings parties thereto. He admit
ted that the Government could not con-
strain the Mayors, who were at liberty
to make any legal contracts, but If
they exercised their right to continue
contracts the Government would be
compelled not only to keep the
churches open, but to maintain them
at the expense of the commune.
1t is agreed tonight on all sides that
formula for the leases would soon
be found and that the acute phase
of the church controversy is at an end.

The principal address was made by

his opinion on the Japanese immigra-

He denounced the work of those papers

urged that all possible encourage cement
be given to retail merchants to relo-

o. c. Baldwin appeared for the San

dorsed the sentiments of the letter, only
asking that the limit mentioned by the
Kearny Street Improvement Club be
extended to the side streets. These
requests were taken under advisement
by the commissioners, and il was
agreed that a day be set aside, in the
near future, to determine on the ex-
pediency OF granting them.

letter from John McLaren, super
intendent of parks and public squares,
was read McLaren called attention to

lice. There are only two officers now
doing duty in Golden Gate Park, and
Superintendent McLaren stated that
much damage was being done to prop
erty, quail and other game were being
destroyed and the speed laws violated
on account of lack of patrolmen. Be-
cause of lack of funds, the commis-
sioners decided they could do nothing,
but agreed to address the Board of
Supervisors with request that sum
be appropriated for the purchase of
horses IN order to mount five more
officers to take the place of those who
have been detailed on Market street
