SWEEPS SLEEPING OLD DALE.
BY Associated Press,

Phlladelpnla, Ia, rep. Io-heIorIn
which has many times gone down to
defeat only to come up again for an
other fight, received a hard blow in
the municipal election here yesterday
when the Republican organization
swept the city. Not one reformer
was elected to city councils or to the
board of magistrates.
The greatest feat Of the organiza-
tion was the election of the men
whom the leaders had selected for
minority representation on the magis-
terial board. Fourteen magistrates
were elected, but under the law no
elector could vote for more than nine,
thus giving the minority parties a
chance to choose the other five. The
Republican organization elected its
own nine men by big majorities and
threw enough votes to five other can
didates it had selected under the par
ty title of "Workingmen League" to
also elect them and to defeat the
Democratic and reform candidates.
Three of the men on the working
mems ticket" are Democrats and had
the assistance of the Democratic or
ganizatiOn.

AFFAIRS.
BY Associated Press.

Havana, Feb. 16.-Senor Pasalodos
secretary to President Gomez, has
given out a statement Of the financial
operations during the first year of the
present administration. At the end of
American Intervention, January 2S.
1909, the government found only $2,-
100000 in the treasury to meet obliga-
tions of $12,000,000. Since that time
all expenses have been paid, although
the present budget shows an increase
of $6,000000 due to exterior debts and
the establishment of new offices and
departments created by the govern
ment Intervention which became
effective upon the re-establisment OF
the Cuban government.
Notwithstanding this, $6,000,000 has
been paid of the $12,000,000 owed by
the government, with a remaining bal
ance of S2,500,0OO The new budget
for the coming fiscal year amounts to
$29,620,531 which, compared with the
estimated receipts, shows a surplus of
$5,159,149.
II is also shown that after deducting
expenses incurred in establishing new
offices and interest due on the loan,
the present budget is lower by $780,
600 than the one in force during the
last year of President Palma's admins
tration.

Not in years have the rulers of Ma

SO chronic a situation as that reveal
ed by the failure so far to agree on

Murphy of Chicago, Robson of St.

of Philadelphia, for the long season;
and Dreyfuss of Pittsburg, Hermann
