Noyuulatod


Washington, sSpecial-The fnan-
cial portion Of the Presidents mes
sage has been completed. 1t was TAX
en- up at some length Tuesday at the
session of the Cabinet. The Panama
canal bond situation and other fea-
lures engaged close attention. Tues
days official figures show an actual
working balance in the Treasury Of
fees of $26, 6,533, $50 though the total
balance in the general fund which in
cludes this working balance in the
Treasury offices, the balance in banks
and in the Treasury of the Philip
pine islands and other details, is plac-
ed at $S2,079.472. The excess of all
disbursements over all receipts thus
far this fiscal year is only $44, ,295, ,956
as against $94,772,399 for the same
period in the previous fiscal year.
The internal revenue receipts are
booming, upwards of $25.000,000 for
the current fiscal year is expected
from the corporation tax and the es-
Inmates for the various departments
of the government have been heavily
cut.
AS to the Panama canal bonds,
which were mentioned in the discus
sion, there are 1920, $4,000 of these
bonds authorized but not yet issued.

Keep Navy Yards Till Later.

Washington, Special-Despite the
agitation to close some of the navy
yards along the Southern coast, Sec
retary OF the Navy Meyer will oppose

THF zELAYA SCHEME
Two Emmissaries Sent TO
Washington.
he WOULD 0YERREACH KNOX
Hopes to Catch congressman Enough
to Neutralize the Ultimatum.

Washington, Special. - President
Zelaya has not only refused to take
official cognizance of Secretary
Knox s note which was practically an
ultimatum, but is declared to have
dispatched special agents to WASH
ington to endeavor to have the State
Department s ultimatum set aside
first by appeals to that department
and secondly by direct appeals to
members of Congress. The State De-
partment is entirely aware of the
presence and identity of these ennis
saries. These special agents are be-
ing watched in general way.
1t was reported Friday that any at
tempt Zeiaya might make to escape
from the country would receive the
direct and vigorous attention of the
American warships now lying off the
coasts of Nicaragua. Secretary
knox's note intimated in the plainest
language that the State Department
looks upon Zelaya as the man respon-
sible for the torture and death of the
two Americans, Groce and Cannon.
The plan to defect the United
States government s program with
reference to Nicaragua came to light
Friday night when Senor Fernando
Sanchez and DR.. V. NJ. Roman arriv-
ed here. Neither Senor Sanchez nor
DR.. Roman would talk. They gave
thier address as New York.
During the afteroon and early
evening more than a score of tele-
grams were dispatched from Senior
Sanchez's rooms. Almost an equally
large number were received. This
telegraphic activity, the Central Am
orleans insist, is aimed at members of
Congress, with a view of winning
over enough of them to render the
administration present program in
operative i'll the event it - presented
by Congress.
DR.. Salvador Castrillo, the diplom-
attic agent of the provisional govern
ment of Nicaragua and representative
OF the revolutionists here, Friday
made formal request to Secretary
Knox that he be received on equal
terms with the agents IF the Zelaya
government. 1t is generally believed
that DIR. Castrillo's request will be
granted.
While making all preparations for
the calm that preceded the issue of
Secretary Knox note. There were
no developments in the State Depart
ment Friday.
A New Orleans special says that
the bodies of Leroy Cannon and
Leonard Groce, the two Americans
executed by order of President Eel
ava of Nicaragua, were burned, de-
clared passengers arriving here Friday
from Nicaraguan ports OH the steam
er Dictator. 1t was reported that
lncineration was resorted to to con-
ceal tthe means of Identification.
Afterwards, it was said, Zelaya found
it was impossible to conceal the fact
that the Americans had been killed
and was forced to make a report to
this effect to the State Department at
Washington.

brought out, all of which are claimed
to be detrimental to the cause OF

English Lords Do Unprecedented Act

London, BY CaDle.-In the sedate
detached manner characteristic of
proceedings in the gilded chamber,
and in direct disregard of the advice
of some of its ablest and oldest mem
bers, such as Rosebery, Morley, Lord
James of Hertford, Lord Cromer,
Lord Balfour of Burleigh, the Earl of
Lytleton, Lord Courtney and the
archbishops of Canterbury and York,
the House of Lords Tuesday created
a situation unprecedented in English
history, at least in three hundred
years, by refusing formal assent to
the budget bill and referring it to the
country itself for judgment, thereby
In theory, making it illegal to collect
taxes to carry on the Kings govern
ment.
After six days debate, notable for
the high standards of the oratory,. as
well as for the able and convincing
arguments arrayed on both sides for
and against the budget, and placing
in every possible light the aspects of
the great constitutional questions in
volved, the House of Lords cleared
for division at half past eleven
O'Clock Tuesday night. The secene
was impressive but in no sense ex-
citing. None would have supposed
that the event proceeding was destin-
ed not only to prove memorable in
the annals of British history, but DOS
sibly also involving far-reaching
changes in the British constitution.
