Al INTERESTING DECISION
LOSES DEEP WATERWAY
SUIT IN CHICAGO.
Court Declares Dam isease From
y Lake Michigan and Hsnnepin
Canal Valid.

Chicago, June 26.--A decision that
may have considerable bearing upon
the plans for q deep waterway from
Lake Michigan to the Gulf Of Mexico
was handed down ip the circuit court
Of Cook county Thursday by Judge
Julian s. Mack. The court upheld the
right Of the Economy Light and Power
company 10 construct dam across
the Des PLANES river at Dresden
Heights, dissolying IAN injunction suit
brought blythe state Of Illinois against
the company and declaring valid 90
year lease which the company had Sc
cured on the site from the commits
'sioners Of the old Lake Michigan &
Hennepin canal. The case has been
before the court two months and In
wolves interests valued at $l6,O00,O0O.
The state claimed that the Des
PLANES river is navlgable and that the
construction of dam across 1t would
obstruct the passage of boats which
the public had right to float upon It,
1t was also claimed that the bed Of
the stream was owned by the state
and that the lease under which the
company claimed the right to use and
overflow certain canal lands, was void
In that the commissioners who granted
1t were without power In the premises.

TREASURY DEFICIT
ANNUAL STATEMENT 10 SHOW
WIDE MARGIN sETWEEN re-
cElPTs AND EXPENDITURES.
AMOUNTS 10 s6O,OOO,OOO
Has Been Exceeded Only Twice Since
the Civil war--A Large De.
fleIency In Postal De-
s& partment.

| Washington, June 2S.--The forth.
coming statement Of the treasury re
ceipts and expenditures for the fiscal
1year ending June 80, 1908, viii show
a marked falling on in the receipts as
compared with the year 1907 and a
large increase in the expenditures.
The excess Of expenditures over re-
ceipts for the year will approximate
100000, which has been exceeded
only twice since the Civil war. In
1894, there was a deficit Of $69. 800, 900,
and in 1899 there was another OF a
little over 100000, and in each Of
the four intervening years the receipts
fell considerably below the dfsburse-
ments. Again in 1904 and in 1905,
there were shortages OF Sal, ITO, 900,
and $23,000,0OO respectively.
The total receipts this year will be
shown to have been about $500, 900, 900,
or $64,000,000 less than for the fiscal
year 1907. Customs receipts will be
shown to have fallen off about $46,-
100000 from those Of 1907, while the
receipts from internal revenue sources
will be short nearly $19OOO,O00. Mis-
cellaneous receipts win show slight
gain.
The disbursements for the year will
be shown to have aggregated about
$659,O0O,OO0, or $S0,O00,0O0 more than
for 1907, and $54,0OO,00O more than
for any other year since 1866, not ex-
cepting the Spanish war period. Al
though these increased disbursements
are very general and are shown in
nearly every account except that Of
interest on the public debt, some Of
the heaviest Of them were for I'm
portant permanent improvements.
The Panama canal during the Close
ing years will have cost the govern
ment 38,000,0 900 as against $27, 900, 900
for the year 1907, and the work this
year in connection with the reclama-
ton of the public lands will be shown
to have cost about $1S,OO0,000, which
is not far from last years figures.
The deficiency in the postal reve-
nues for the present year will prob
ably reach ST., 100000, as against 81
100000 for 1907, making a difference
Of 100000. This is the largest
postal deficiency in the history Of the |
government, except in 1905 when It |
reached nearly s15,OOO,0OO. The rec
prds show that there has been pos
tai deficiency every year since the es-
Of the service with the
exception Of IL, when small surplusses
we're shown. The expenses for the
rural free delivery this year is not ex-
pected to fall below $25,000,00O.
The decrease in the amount Of re-
ceipts Of $64,0O0,OO0 and the Increased
of sSO,OOO.OO0, makes a
Inference against the treasury for the
ascal year of $144,000,000.

RAILROADS AREDOING WELL
NO REDUCTION IN WAGES TO be
MADE At PRESENT.
Commissioner Lane Says the Rate Law
Has Been a Blessing
to Roads.

Washington, June 2S.-"Returns
from the railroad generally show that
those roads not dependent upon coal
steel and lumber industries, have been
doing very well recently" said Com
missioner Lane of the Interstate Com.
merce commission Sunday. "Of course
they have not done 80 well as last
year. Generally they have decided not
to make any reductions either in
wages or In rates Of freight. affecting
the next three months, which 10 an
indication that they believe that BUSH
ness will keep up.
"The railroads must spend money
In maintaining the roadbed and equip
ment Of their lines in order to meet
the demands Of commerce because
they are most seriously embarrassed
when they are not able to handle busi-
ness offered to them and there Is no
doubt that there Is an abundance OF
money in the United States which can
be secured for legitimate railroad in
vestment. This was shown by the
floating Of. the Pennsylvania bond
issue.
I'm this connection I think people
ought to understand that the Inter
state Commerce commission has been
Of valuable service to the railroads Of
the United States during the past six
months, because 1t has prevented a
rate war between the roads and has
maintained rates. l predict that The
railroads themselves will come to bless
the railway rate law by means Of
which the roads have been able to
protect themselves at time when
their nerves were wobbly. II we had
six or seven years ago such a flnan-
cial disturbance as took place last 0c-
tober the railroads upon finding that
their earnings were falling OF would
have gone into the business of rate
cutting and possibly a large number
Of receiverships would have resulted.
The railway rate act is admitted by
candid railroad men themselves to
have been Of inestimable value. The
enforcement Of the law against rebat-
ing and our tenacious purpose to stop
determinations has held them up to
conformity to the law that is with.
out precedent"
